The following is one of the earliest poems written by the Marquis of Lorne :—

Noble names, if nobly borne, Live within a nation’s heart ; If of such thou bearer be,

Never ‘et that name for thee

Point the scorn !

Shrined within its narrow bond,

Other hopes than thine have part ;

For it once in life was their’s

Who from weight of earthly cares Pesce has found !

They who wore it free from blame,

Set on honor’s splendid height.

Watch, as spirits, of its place

Love the mght or daylight’s face— Shame, or fame!

Tis a precious heritage ;

Next tv love of God, a might

That should plant thy foot, where stood

O/ thy race the great and good, All thine age!

Yet remember ! ’tis a crown

That can hardly be thine owr,

Till thou win it by some deed

That with glory fresh shall feed Their renown !

Pride of lineage, pomp of power, Heap dishonor on the drone ; He shall lose his strength who never Uses it for fair endeavor !

Brief his hour !

TWO FAIR DECEIVERS,

What do young men talk about when they sit at the open windows smoking on summereveniugs? Do you Buppose it is of love? Indeed, I sus- pect it is of money; or, if not of money, then «at least of something that either mukes money or spends it.

Cleve Sullivan has been spending his time for four years in Europe, and he has just been telling his friend, John Szlden, how he spent it. John has spent his in New York—he is inclined to think just «as profitably. Both stories couclude in the same way.

‘IT have not a thousand dollars left, John.’

‘Nor I, Cleve.’

‘| thought your cousin died two years ago, Surely you have not spent all the old gentleman’s money already?’

‘I only got $20,000; L owed half of it.’

‘Only $20,000. What did he do with it?’

‘Gave it to his wife. He married a beauty about a year after you went away, died in a few months after- wards, and left her his whole fortuoe. I bad no claim on bim. He educated me, gave me a profession, and $20,000. That was very well; he was only my mother’s cousin.’

‘And the widow—where is she ?’

‘Living at his country-seat. I have never seen her. She was one of the St. Maurs ef Maryland.’

‘Good family, and all beauties. Why don’t you marry the widow ?”

‘Why, I never thought of such a thing ?’ ;

‘You can’t think of anything better. Write her a little note at once. Say that you and I will soon be in her

there. No one knows us in the place, | and I will take none of the servants with me,’

‘Then, Clementine, you are to be the widow Clare, and I your poor friend and Companion.’ ad

‘Good! very good! ‘The Fair De- ceivers’—an excellent comedy. How { shall snub you, Fan! And for once [ shail have the pleasure of out-dress- ‘ing you. Bat has not Mr. Selden seen | you?’

‘No; 1 was married in Maryland, land went immediately to Europe. I came back a widow two years ago, but Mr. Selden has pever remembered me until now. I wonder who the friend is that he proposes to bring with him?’

‘Oh, men always think in pairs, Fan. They never decide on anything until their particular friend approves. I dare say they wrote the letter together. What is the gentleman’s name?’

The widow examined the note. ‘My friend Mr. Cleve Sullivan.” ‘Do yeu know him, Clementine ?’

‘No; I am quite sure that I never saw Mr. Cleve Sullivan. I don’t fall in love with the name—do you? buat pray accept the offer for both gentle- men, Fan, and write this morning, dear.’ Then Clementine returned to the consideration of the lace in co quilles for her new evening dress.

The plan so hastily sketched was subsequently thoroughly discussed and carried out. The cottage at Ryebank was taken, and one evening, at the end of June, the two ladies took possession of it. The new widow Clare had en- gaged a maid in New York, and fell into her part with charming ease and a very pretty assumption of authority; and the real widow, in her plain dress, and pensive, quiet manners, realized effectively the igea of a cultivated but dependent companion. They had two days in which to rehearse their parts and get all the household machinery in order, and then the gentlemen arrived at Ryebank.

Fan and Clementine were quite ready for their first call; tbe latter in a rich and exquisite morning costume, the former in a simple dress of spotted lawn. Clementine went throtgh the introductions with consummate ease of manner, and in half an hour they were avery pleasant party. John’s ‘ cousin- ship’ afforded an excellent basis for in- tormal companionship, and Clementine gave it full prominenee. indeed ina few days John began to find the re- lationship tiresome; it had _ been ‘Cousin John, do this,’ and ‘ Cousin John, come here,’ continually ; and one night when Cleve and he sat down to smoke their final cigar, he was irri- table enough to give his objection the form of speech.

‘Cleve, to tell you the honest truth, I do not like Mrs. Clare.’

‘I think she isa very lovely woman, John.’

‘I say nothing against her beauty, Cleve; I don't like her, and Ihave no mind to oceupy the place that beautiful ill-used Miss Marat fills. The way

neighborhood, and that gratitude to your cousin, and all tbat kind of! thing—then beg leave to call and pay respects, etc., etc.’

ohn demurred a good deal to the plan, but Cleve was masterful, and the note was written, Cleve himself putting it in the post office.

That was on Monday night. On Wednesday morning the widow Clare found it with « dozen others upon her breakfast table. She was a dainty, high bred little lady, with ‘Eyes that drowse with dreamy splendor, Cheeks with rose-leaf tintings tender,

Lips like fragrant posy,’ and withal a kind, hospitable temper, well inclined to be happy in the happi- ness of others.

But this letter could not be answered with the usual polite formula. She was quite aware that John Selden had regarded himself for many years: as his cousin’s heir, and that her marriage with the late Thomas Clare had seri- ously altered his prospects. Women easily see through the best laid plans of men, and this plan was transparent enough to the shrewd little widow. John would searcely have liked the halftcontemptuous shrug and smile which terminated her private thoughts on the matter,

‘Clementine, if you could spare a moment from your fashion paper, I want to consult you, dear, aboat a visitor.’

Clementine raised her blue eyes, dropped her paper, and said, ‘Who is it, Fan?’

‘It is John Selden. If Mr. Clare had not married me, he would have in- herited the Clare estate. I think he is coming now in order to see if it is worth while asking for, encumbered by his cousin’s widow.’

‘What selfishness! Write and tell him that you are just leaving for the Suez Canal, or the Sandwich Islands, or any other inconvenient place.’

‘No; I have a better plan than that —Clementine, do stop reading a few minutes. I will take that pretty cot- tage at Ryebank for the summer, and

Cousin Clara ignores or snubs a woman to whom she isin every way inferior makes me angry enough, Lassure you.’ ‘Don’t fall in love with the wrong woman, John.’

‘ Your advice is too late, Cleve; I aminlove. There is no usein our de- ceiving ourselves or each other. You seem to like the widow—why not marry her? Lam quite willing you should.’

‘Thank you, John; I have already made some advances that way. They have been favorably received, [ think.’

‘You are so handsome, a fellow has no chance against you. But we shall hardly quarrel, if you do not interfere between lovely little Clementine and myself.’

‘TL could not afford to smile on her John; she is too poor. And what on earth are you going to do with a poor wife? Nothing added to nothing will not make a decent living.’

‘Tam going toask her to be my wife and if she does me the honor to say ‘Yes,’ I will make a decent living out of my profession.’

From this time forth John devoted himself with some ostentation to his supposed cousin’s companion. He Was determined to let the widow perceive that he had made his choice, and that he could not be bought with her money. Mr. Selden and Miss Marat were al- ways together and the widow did not interfere between her companion and her cousin. Perhaps she was rather glad of their close friendship, for the handsome Cleve made a much more delightful attendant. Thus the party fell quite naturally inte couples, and

The Greatest Medical Discevery since

the Creation of Man, or since the

Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ng of so many dilferent diseases has been 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.

Dk. MELVIN’S CA PsicumM POROUS 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 plasiers will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirety dif- ferent: the ‘nstant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect. ;

Physiciansin 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 recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderfal eures effected by Dr. MeEtvin’s Capsicum Porous PLAstTeRrs, 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 orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain eure, ask your druggist for Dr, MELVIN’s Capsicum POROUS PLASTER. You ean hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can-rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from Jead and -other- poisonous material commonly used in the manutacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee - of its merits, and one plaster will soli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELvrn’s CAPst- cuM Porous PLAsTER, and take no 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,
