Yow to be a Man.
Not long since a boy of some seven- teen years of age called on a merchant doing a large business in New York. Being busily employed at the time, the boy had to wait a little before getting ar. opportunity for an interview. Occa- sionally the merchant cast a glance at him as he stood respectfully at a short distance. He was rather poorly clad, and showed evidence of pretty hard work; but his face indicated honesty and common sense, with a firm and en- ergetic manliness, under the somewhat rude exterior. A practical business man requires but brief examination of a boy to declare as to his weight and worth of character.
When at liberty, the merchant said:
“Well, my young friend, what can I do for you ?”
“T called, sir,” he replied, “ to ask you for a situation as an engineer. I was told you were having a new engine built, and I want you to give me the the place. I'd like to run it for you.”
“Are you an engineer?” asked the gentleman.
“ No, sir; but Lean be,’’ he answered, setting his lips firmly together, stand ing squarely before the gentleman, and looking him full in the face. ‘1 don’t understand the business well; I know something of it, though. But I can be an engineer andI will be. And I wish you would give me a chance.”
His modest but determined manner pleased the merchant. He was having a new engine built for a certain depart- ment of his business, and could of course have as many experienced opera- tors as he desired. It was no object for him to take up an inexperienced boy and attempt to train him ; no object ex- cept to help the boy. Such deeds he was noted for; a fact which no doubt had encouraged the boy to make his application. —
“What are you doing now ?” he in- quired.
“Working in a machine-shop, in Brooklyn. I have been fireman, and I often worked the engive. I think I would get along pretty well with one now, if anybody will have a little pa- tience with me.”
“What wages do you get ?”
“Five dollars a week, sir.”
“ What do you do with your money ?”
“Give it to my mother, sir.”
‘Give it to your mother! humph! humph! what does your mother do with it?”
“ Well, you see, there is mother, sis- ter and me ; ani mother takes in sew- ing. But it goes pretty hard you know. They don’t give much for sewing, and it’s pretty hard work, too. And then with the other work she has to do, you know she cannot get along very fast at that rate, so I help her all I can. If I could get an engineer’s place I could get more wages, and it would make it easier for mother.”
“How do you spend your evenings ?” asked the gentleman.
I attend the free schools at the Cooper Institute, studying mechanics,” he re- plied. “I spend all the time I can get studying. I knowI can bean engi neer.”
“ Do you ever drink liquor ?”
Iie looked up with an expression of astonishment on his countenance that such a question should be asked, but an- swered firmly: ‘No, sir.”
“Do you chew, or smoke, or go to the theatre ?”
‘“Never—can’t afford it. Mother needs the money. And it she didn’t I could make a better use of it. Id like to have some books if I could only spare the money to get them.”
“Do you go to church or Sunday school ?”’
He held down his head, pretending to brush the dust off the floor with his foot, and replied ; “‘No sir.”
“Why not?’ asked the merchant, a little sharply.
“T haven't any clothes fit to wear,’ he
burdens, hate clothes to wear to church, and buy books to aid in his business.”
A noble boy, though hidden among hard conditions and under unattractive garbs, will work out and show his man- hood. He may not always find friends to appreciate him; but determined, vir- tuous, aud willing to endure, he will in
due time conquer.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has heen a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has peen eaused 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 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 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 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 wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous 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 orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters. and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for

replied. It takes all the money 7 can get for us to live; and I can’t have any clothes” He looked down at his coarse and well worn suit. ‘It didot use to be so when father was living. 1 was brought up to go to church and to Suaday school. If I can get to be an er- gineer [ shall go agaia. I know I can run am engine,
Telling him’ to cai] at a certaio time, when he expected his engiae would be in use, and he would talk turther with him, he dismissed him. ‘But, he must have that | engine,” said the merchant to a triend to | whom he related the cireumstance. “He will make a man, that boy will.. A boy who is determined to do something ; who gives his mother all of his money to light- en her burdens; who does not use tobac- co, and does not go tu the theatres; who spends his evenings ia study after work- iog all day, such a boy would make a map, and deserves to be helped. I have told him so, but I shall take him and put him under ove of my engineers uatil he is fully capable of taking charge, and then let him.have the engine, He will get twenty dollars a week then instead of; five, and be able to lighten a mother’s |
You can 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 — 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 geli hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVrN’s CAPstI- cuM Porovws PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $i for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
