Mamma’s Grave.

A boy not over 11 years old, whose pinched faee betrayed hunger, and whose clothing could scarcely be called by the name, dropped into a c wpenter shop on Grand River avenue, the other day,and after much hesitation, explained to the foreman:

“We want a grave board for ma. She died last winter, and the grave- are so thick that we can’t hardly find hers no more. We went up last Sun- day and we came awful near not finding it. We thought we'd get a grave board. so we wouldn't lose the grave. When we thought we'd lost it, Jack, he eried, and Bnd, she cried, and my chin trembled so I could hardly talk.”

“Where is your father?” asked the earpenter.

“Oh, he’s home, but he never goes |

up there with us, and we shan’t tell him about the board. I guess he hated ma, for he wasn’t home when she died, and he wouldn’t buy no coffin nor noth. ing. Sometimes when we are sittin’

‘on the doorstep talking. about her; and Jack and Bud are cryin’, and I'm rememberin’ bow she kissed us all afore she died, he says we'd better quit that or we'll get what’s bad for us. But wesleep up stairs, and we talk and ery in the y all we want to. How much will the board be ?”

The carpenter selected something fit for the purpose, and asked :

“Who will put it up at the grave ?”

“We'll take it up on our eart,” re- plied the boy, “and I guess the grave- yard man will help us put it up.”

“ «You want the name painted on, don’t you ?”

“Yes, sir, we want the board white, and then we want*you to paint on that she was our ma, and that she was 41 years old, and that she died on the 2nd of November, and that she’s gone to heaven, and that she was one of the best motbers ever was, and that we are going to be goed all our lives and go up where she is when we die. How much will it cost, sir?”

‘How much have you got?”

“Well,” said the boy as he brought out a little calico bag and emptied the contents on the bench, “Bud drawed

* the baby for the woman next door and

earned 20 cents; Jack he weeded the

arden and earned 40 cents, and he ‘ound 6 more in. the road; I run of errands and made kites and fixed a boy's cart and helped carry some apples into a store, and I earned 65 cents, | All

‘ that makes 130 cents, sir, and pa don't

know we've got it, ‘cause we kept it hid in the ground under a stone.”

The carpenter meant to be liberal, but he said:

“A grave-board will cost at least three dollars.”

The lad looked from his liftle store of metals to the carpenter and back, realized how many weary weeks had passed since the first penny was earned and saved, and suddenly wailed out:

“Then we can’t never, never buy one, and mother’s grave will be lost.’’

But he left the shop with tears of gladness in his eyes, and when he ro- turned yesterlay, little Bud and Jack were with him, and they had a cart. There was not oniy a head-board, but one for the foot of the grave as well, and painter and carpenter had done

their work with full hearts, and done it}

well.

“Aint it awful nice—nicer than rich folks have!’ whispered the children as the boards were being placed on the cart; “wont the grave look nice, though, and won’t ma be awful glad!”

Ere this the mother’s grave has been been marked, and when the night comes the three motherless ones will cuddle close together add whisper their grati- tude that it cannot be lost to them even in the storms and drifts of winter.

The Greatest Medical Disecvery 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 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 nyse to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoronghly 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-

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 as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and = want acertain cure, ask your druggist for rn. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can-hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

for the most delicate a 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 e9li hundreds to your friends.

sk your druggist for Dr. MeLv1n’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 United States or Canadas.
