Thoughts for

Patience and cheerfulness adorn the ruins of fortune, as ivy doves those of castles cf temples.

The customs of an enslaved people are a part of their servitule ; those of a free people are a part of their liberty.

Who cain measure the power of a great idea?) Armies fight in vain agalost 1, and nations yield to its sway.

All men who do anything must endure a deprecation of their efforts. I:cis the dirt which theie chariot wheels throw up.

Temptation is never dangerous until it has an inside accomplice. Sin within be- trays the heart to the outside assailant.

There is no such athiog as luck. It’s

a fancy name for being always at our duty, | ing,

5

und so sure to be ready when the good|

time comes.

We never detect how much of our social demeanor is made up of artificial airs uu- til we see a person who is at once beautt- ful and simple. Without the beauty we are apt to call the simplicity awk ward- ness.

Douzlas Jerrold says, in his ‘ Hedgehog Letters,’ that ‘respectabiiity is oll very well for folks who can have it for ready money; but to be obliged to ruo in debt

for it is enough to break the heart of an|

angel.’

Enjoy the present, whatever it may be. and be pot solicitous tor the future; for if you tuk your foot from the present stundiog, and thrust it forward to to-mor- row’s event, you are ina restless condi- tion. - It is like refusing to quench your present thirst by fearing you wil! want to drink the next day.

Were the happiness of the next world as closely apprehended as the facilities of this, it were a martyrdom to live; and unto such as consider none heresfter, 1t must be more than death to die, which makes us amoz:d at those audacicies that durst be nothing and returo into the cliaos again.

The Deacon and his Calf.

Last Sunday, ‘as one of our straightest deacons was getting ready to shake the lines over his horse’s back, and say “‘ ge dap,” his wife bappened to remember that the calf had’t been ted. The deacon looke 1 at his Sund sy clothes, and observed that he did not deem it incumbent upon him to suffer fur the negligence of others, t» which the deaconess réplied that such linguige io the presence of the chiliren, oa a Suadty moraing, and from a yillar of the church, was enough to shake one’s belief in the professions that bad been mide by someone she could name. The deac yn handed over the lines to his eldest boy, and climbed over the wheel without sayiug a word. He went around to the front door and took the door key from under the mat, came around to the back door, and as hé was tryiog to put the key jo the hole, the key slipped from his hand and slid into the mud. Finally he got into the kitchen and started for the baro yard with the milk, He sat the pail down

-ou the ground and called on the cilt, bus

the beast whisked its tail ia the air, and Then he ciptured the anim:! and pulled it along by the ears, ani j immed its head into the pale, but the e:lf gave a spring, sending the milk iva cloud cf spray over the deacon’s shirt front. la trying to re-capture the beast the deacon dropped his hymna book out of his pocket, aud before he could rescue it, the calf stepped both feet on it aud tore the cover off. The deacon got mad. He took a hop-pole and belabored the calf. One end of the pole struck the shed, and bounded up, knocked the deacon’s plug hitoff. It:olled directly under the calf, who set his foot through the tile, and went tearing around the yard with his tail io the air, and that hat fisteoed just above the kuuckle joiat. The deacon went into the house, and as he unbuckled his shirt colar, he called out, “ Marta, you go to church, and if anybody asks after me, tell them I staid at home to feed the calf.”

AN old rail-splitter in Indiana put the quietus on a youog man who chaffed him upon his bald head, in these words:— «“ Young man, when my head gets as soft as yours, | can raise hair to sell.”’

A Goop Farmer —!!e improveth his land toa double value by his good hus- bandry. Some grounds that wept with water or frowoed with thoras, by drainiog the one and clearing the other, he maketh both to laugh aod siog with corn.

“JT was born in Bath,’ said a dirty looking customer, as he harangued a crowd at a political meeting “and I love my mative place.” ‘* You don’t look as if you had ever been there singe,” said one of his hearers, 2s he proceeded to laud an oppo- site candidate.

An attorney who was cross-examining a @oztor, on a.criminal trial, exclaimed, pe-

tulently—‘‘ A doctor should be able to!

give his opinions without mistakes,” ‘‘ He is as well able as a lawyer. ‘And a

lawyer’s are sometimes bung six feet ubove it,” responded the doctor,

Jan. 31, 1878—

The Greatest Medical Discovery sinee 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 populction of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’S Capsicem 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 entirety dif- ferent: the instant ove is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested ani 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 @ porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures 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 a3 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 DR. MELViIN’s CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER, You ean hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety fo: the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous materia) commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MeLvrin’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.
