RONG CHARACTER.

Strength of character consists of two things—power of will and power of self

restraint. It requires two things, there

fore to its existeuce—sirong feelings and Now, it is here we make a great mistake ; we mistake strong feelings tor strong character. A man who bears all before him, before

Or, did we ever see a man io anguish

He who, with strong passions, remains chaste: he who, keenly sensitive, with manly powers of indignation in him, can be provoked and yet restrain himself, and forgive —these are strong men, the spiritual beroes.

CAN’T AFFORD IT.

A few days since we saw a young mao

who ‘ couldn’t afford to take books out of

the library.’”? He was well dressed, and we woudered if it really was possible that he could not afford to pay fifty cents a year for the very rich blessing the library ought to be toa yousg man. Yesterday we suw this same young man puy filty cents for a d zen cigars, which perhaps will Jast him two days. Suppose they last him a week. This wouid be the same he would have had to pay for the use of the library a year. Now, that youoy man is what is called a ‘steady young mun ’’—does not driuk—and has no im- mora! habits.

He’ is spending probably $100 a year for cigars, and other useless, or worse than useless luxuries. Unless he changes these

habits, he will never be worth a dollar ia!

the world, and should sickness or adversity come upoo him, will be a Lurden upon some one.

A NUMEROUS ANCESTRY.

Fowler, the phrenologist, in his work entitled ** Hereditary Descent,’’ says that every human being on the face of the globe, is compelled, from a demand in Nature, to have two parents, four grand parents, eight great grsnd parents, sixteen ancestors of the fourth generation back, thirty-two of the fifth, two huadred and fifty--ix of the eight, thirty-two thousand seven huudred and sixty-eigh of the fifs t-entn, almost one milliou and filty thou- sand of the twentieth, avd nearly ove thousand seventy-three millions of tae thirtieth genera'ion. The whole number of every one’s ancestors for fitity generas tion, amounts to two thousand three huo- dred and sixty-two billioa, seven hundred aod forty-nine thousand nine hundred and tourteen million, two hundred and fourteen thousund and forty~six (2,362,- 749,914,214,046)—a multitude, verily, which po map can number, no mind cou- ceive! The bluod of this fast host is running in the veins of every living mor tal, and that, reckoning back only fifty generations.

I’m layiog down the law, as the mao said when he floored the judge.

“T don’t know what you mean by being av Irishman ;” said a gentleman who was ubout biriug a boy, “ but you were boro io Lreiand.”’

“O¢h, your honor, if that’s al),’’ said the boy, ‘small blame to that; suppose your cat was to have kittens in the oven, would they be loaves of bread ?”

Irish repartee is proverbial. Last week, an lrish professional man addressed an artisan rather brusquely, who was waiting in his hall:

‘* Hullo, you fellow, do you want me ?”’

The answer was neat:—‘ No, yer honor, I am waiting for a gentleman !”

A painter being asked to estimate the cost of painting a certain house, drew forts pencil and paper, and mide the following calculation: —“ A naught Is naught, three into five twice you can’t— I’ 1 paint your house for fifty dollars. ’

Fellows’ Compound Syrup is composed of Ingrediants identical with those which consti tute Healthy Blood, Muscle and Nerve and Brain Substance, whilst Life itself is directly dependant upon some of them.

By its union with the blood and its effect upon the muscles, re-establishing the one and toning the other, it is capable ot etiecting the following results :—

It will displace or wash out tuberculous matter, and thus cure Consumption.

By increasing Nervous and Muscular Vigor, it will cure Dyspepsia, feeble or interrupted action of the Heart and Palpitation, Weakness ef intellect caused by grief, weary, overtax or irregular habits, Broncuitis, Acute or Chronic, Congestion of the Lungs, even in the most alarming stages.

It cures Asthma, Loss of Voice, Neuralgia, St. Vitus Dance, Epileptic Fits, Whoopin Cough, Nervousness, and is a most wonderf adjunct to other remedies in sustaining life during the process of Diptheria.

Do not be deceived by remedies bearing a similar name; no other preparation is a substi; tute for this under any circumstances.

} 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 CarsrcumM Porous PLASTERS ; are acknowledged by all who have used them, |} toact quicker than any other plaster they ever | before tried, and that one of these plasters will | do mdre 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 ix 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 Jess 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. 3eing, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MreLyin’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 eases as have required the use of plasters orlfniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM PorOUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safoty for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from Jead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary pilasters, One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to vour 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, te any address in the United States or Canadas,
