Thoughts about Work,

‘To be relieved from the sordid necessities of life is indeed a great re- sponsibility—a responsibility never to be discharged. Men are not mere anl- mals, but beings whose nature is touch- ed with the solemnity of infinity. If we ase lifted in any degree above the tending of the bodily frame 1t 1s only that we may minister to the infinite Spirit, infinite in desire and in destiny, infinite in passion, infinite mm life or death. As long as men are bounded and crushed down by lack of knowledge and failure ot power, there Is enough to be done in freeing for them wider space of thought and lifting them to nobler heights of aspiration. Idleness! there isno such word in the vocabulary of a generous man. Others, or even we ourselves, may have worked in the past and have won the position in which weare placed ; but it is with the) world to-day that we are concerned, This isn world for workers, and each is bound to work if he can.

If he can; but there are some people who must be worked for. Yet even they may do spiritual work in return. How many a sick girl, lying helpless upon her couch from week to week, is yet a source of high and holy power in the world! Men willingly toil for her and tend her with care and reverence. And she more than repays it all. The week come to her for counsel, and the sad for sympathy. Her arm may_be helpless, but her heart is strong. She is forced to be a spectator of the battle of life only, but she can impart the secret of victory. She lies inactive, but her spirit bears the burden of others’ Cure; her enduring patience has the power to restrain the fierceness of wrath and despair, and from her still and quiet presence goes forth the mighty thrill of love which nerves the wise and the strong of earth to noble deeds,

All eannot labor physically, nor is it given to many to set forth the seeret of the universe for the knowledge of others or to lead the footsteps of mankind to fresh regions in the domain of truth. But the work which is dictated by the heart is not less indispensable to the world’s welfare.

What constitutes our share of the world’s work must be left to the con- science of each man and woman to de- cide. It is obviously not merely that which people can be got to pay us to do.

When, indeed, we recoguize that there are higher laws than those of po- litical economy, we begin to ask our- selves whether we hive got all we can, whether we have given all we can. We shall always be striving to make our work better, more valuable to others. We do not, inthe long run, estimate things according towhat has been paid for them, but according to what power of helpfulness and guidance and insight isinthem. And just in proportion as our own work becomes noble we shall love it for its own sake, and scorn to measure it against the portion of this world’s good which we have received in exchange for it. To take care todo our share is, after all, but little, yet we must at least do that. The money which I spend so lightly —have I earned it? This question must at least be answered ; but when it is settled, another still re- mains. Cannot Ido more? Carnot I make my work wider in its range of usefulness ? A mute ery goes up from the dumb lips of millions of our fellow men—a ery, not for alms or pity, but for help and counsel—for patient guid- ance and for wise example. )

You do your share of the world’s work, let us asssume, to its full limit. You are a man of business, a merchant, a banker, a lawyer, or perhapsa clerk : Your work is ignoble, for it is needed in the world. But is this all? Politic- al economy answers—yes, all. But the highest voice proclaims no limit to your work but the solemn darkness of the night which cometh, and the shadows of whieh are already falling around you. See these struggling, ig- norant men. See this toil—worse than physical—moral doubt and nescience and despair. Can you do nothing to help? You have earned your food and clothing ; but is it all to be a question

of mere debtor and creditor? Have you nothing more te give? Cannot

you make two blades of grass grow where one grew before, or plant one

fair, springing leaf of knowledge in’

sme desert spot of ignorance ?

Time presses, and the world is wide, and to each the call comes that he should be up and doing. » This uni- verse, amid all its ruin, is full of lovli-

noss still, and with all its sorrows, is

yet glowiag with the warmth of love; but its store of blessings ean only be grasped by hands that are stretched out to honest labor, and the softest radiance of its happiness refuses to fall except upon the helpful.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era,

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has Deen caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM PorovUs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. Al) other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recerit date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by DR. MELvyIN’s CAPSICUM Pornovs PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely On its safety

‘or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds

to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cum Porous PLASTER, and take ng other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas. i
