DICK THE BARBER.|
HOW HE GOT TO BE SIR RICHARD.
Now-a-daysit seems anybody can easily be something if he care to and has the—knack. Foolery goes for wit, electro-plate _for silver, brazen trash for gold. The Jack-in-the box sensation monger is the hero—burnt cork the attraction. It was not always so. Will not be so always. Sufier it to bo so now. Society isin transition. The valleys are being ex- alted. The mountains and the hills are being made low. ‘The rough places are being made plain. The whirligig of the present is the
romise, the pledge of the future. Whilst it demas Fo hurly burly—we must expect things topsy-turvy. Man is dissatisfied. He never was—-he never is—he never will be— content. God does not require him to be. He never did. He never will. gion towards infinite, unattainable perfection is a law of his being—the law of his God. Man does not please himself. He does not suit himself. He ‘is not what he is originally was. He is not what he is to be. He knows—he realizes this. His present state—condition— position —resources — capabilities —capacity— do not taily with his needs and his aspirations, In his consciousness of infirmity—of mmpotence —in the bitterness of his spirit he groans, he growls. It isthe cry of the disabled eagle ¢hat needs must flounder who fain would fly— that loathes the carcase on which its feeds—on which it sickens.
Evils abound. All people—all ages have them. ‘Some are perpetual. Someare univer- sal; some ever recurring. ‘*O tempora! O mores!” in one form or another is the old, old exclamation. Adam’s boys heard it in their infancy—heard him say it and sigh. We .re- peat it. Man’s latest posterity will groan it out. “Times ain’t as they used to was,” is the old New England version. Dissatisfaction well or ill-founded—dissatisfaction with things in general and mankind in particular, is a common complaint. 1¢ is as common as tooth- ache. lt gets as much pity. One so afilicted sighs and says nothing. Another growls and does nothing, Many just grin and _ bear it.
Dick the bacber, gracious knows, had enough
in his day and in his experience and circum- stances to sigh about and groan over. He did a little at it too, 1 dare say. Had he done that and nothing more, he had better held his jaw. He thought. He designed. He under- took. He did. He helped himself. He aided us. Helent the times a hand. He pushed the car of progress. He benelitted the race. He had his reward. It was according to his works. ‘This is how he got to be High Sheriff in England, where High Sheriff's are very high—how he came to be Sir Richard—why he didn’t die Dick the barber. Dick was born in Preston, England. He is dead. Where he living now he would be 145. He was born 1732. He died at 60. His folks were poor. They were very poor. They were poor every way. ‘They wore poor im the past— poor in the present—poor im _pros- ct. They lived and they died poor. They were not hung. They must have been **poor— but honest.” “The **gallas’ was the yeformatory then. it did a swinging business, *‘Yon be hanged” was no bye-word them. Poverty was in theirday a class distinction— pre destination—leprosy. It was degradation ure and simple. it was without reproach:
t was an hereditary life-long infirmity. It was the tag-end fag-end of ieudal serfdom. This is false. Lhe moral, the political, the intellectual, the commercial, the mechanical history of England give the lie to the assertion, Men could then rise from the slough oJ poverty and contempt, of bruitish ignorance, of weird superstition, for men did rise. Then as now all things were possible to him that believeth—and worketh. There were men amongst them-—men of might—self-helped, God-helped men—Sampson’s that slew the lion that roared at them in the way—those who would not be cribbed, nor cabined, nc® confined—who opened for themselves and

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 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.
Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum Porovs 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. All 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.
Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as & 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, convineed of the wonderful cures efiected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLAstTeRs, and their superiority over all other plasiers, 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 cure, ask your druggist for
YR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects, Although powertu! and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- arv plasters. Que trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one piaster will sell hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- 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 Unitéd States or Canadas,
