Hold Your Head Up Like a Man. | If the stormy winds she uld rustle, While you tread the world’s highway,
Still against them bravely tusscei,
Hope and labor day by day ;
alte r not, no matter whether There is sunsh storm or calm,
And in every kind of weather,

tioidg your head UP iinet a& lian. . :
If a brother should deceive you, And should act a trattor’s part,
Never let his treason sieve you, |
Jog along with hzhtsome heart ;
Fortun » seldom follows ilawning,
Roldness is the plan,
Hoping for a better dawning, Hold your head up like a man.

Barth. though e’er so rich and mellow,

Yields not for the worthless drone, But the bold and honest fellow, He can shift and stand alone ; Spurn the knave of every nation, Always do the best you can, And no matter what your station, Hold your head up hke a man.

We tind him an itinerant hair dealer. Wigs were worn—wig-making was a big business. He bought and he sold hair. Hering fares he attended. Young wo- men attended theirto obtain situations, For lucre they allowed themselves to be shorn of their locks. Dick was very successful at such negotiations. ‘Then Dick, they say, —perhaps I ought’nt to tell it—perhaps it isn't true— Dick used some sort of hair dye which enabled him to suit the market. He seems to have made but a bare living at this, Next, wig- wearing underwent a change. Wig-makers were ip distress. Dick was inclined to bea conjuror, the popular name for an inventor then. It indicates something. Like old Hingley, who died in Margaree, Cape Bretor, some years ago, after losing thirty years at it, and like five hundred more, he sought to make a perpetual motion machine to periorm a mi-
racle. He failed of course. His wife got tired ot that, as Hingley’s wife cid, and ho wonder, tor he
negle tect his busipess, lost his little
sayings, and got to have nothing. His wife got out of patience. She got vexed. She smashed his models. Then he got wroth. He left ber. He was joined to lis idol. Some- how, from perpetual motion-ism he got to thinking out and getting up a machine to spin with. tle totally abandoned hair-collecting. With the help of one Kay, a clock-maker, he got one up. No credit is due to Kay, however, as to the invention, so it appears, tichard——now that he is an inventor we will call him Dick no longer—Richard set up a model made by Kay under his direction, in the parlor of the Free Grammar School at Preston. He hada vote. He was a burgess of the town. He voted at the contested elec- tion at which General Burgoyne was returned. Such was his poverty, and so tattered and torn was his dress, a number of persons sub- scribed a sum sufiicient to enable him to get himself in a fit state to appear in the poll room. ‘‘Times aint as they used to was” then, A noisy, growling mob assembled around the school-house. ‘They thought their craft was in danger. Kay had been mobbed and forced to fly from Lancashire because of the invention of the fly-shuttle. Poor Hargreaves’ spinning- jenny had been pulled to pieces by a Blackburn mob. Richard Arkwright—for that was his full name—packed up his model. He left. He went to Nottingham. Hethere applied to the Banks for assistance. A party oflered to advance him money and share the profits. The machine, however, was not perfected as soon as anticipated. - The bankers recommended Arkwright to apply to Messrs. Street and Need. Mr. Street was the inventor and paten- tee of the stocking-frame. Street at once ap- preciate the merits of theinvention. A _ part- nership was entered into with Arkwright. Arkwright’s road to fortune was now clear. The patent was secured in the name of ‘* Richard Arkwright, of Nottingham, Clock- maker.” It is a circumstance worthy of note, that it was taken out in 1709. ‘This is the year in which Watt secured the patent of his steam-engine. A cotton mill was first erected at Nottingham. It was driven by horses. Another was shortly after built on a much larger scale at Cromford, in Derbyshire. It was turned by a water-wheel. From this cir- cumstance the spinning machine came to be called the water-frame. Arkwright’s labors

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Codamencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many diferent 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 a¢t 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 th roughly 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 rhemimatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tyied other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MeLVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you ean rely on its safety fox the most delicate person 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 sell hundreds to your friends,
Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPST- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; o7, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or 2 for a dozen, they will be maiied, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,

were then, comparatively speaking, only begun. He had still to perfect all the working details of his machine. He was constantly modifying | and improving it.

A mill he built! near Chorley was destroyed by a mob, A) -strong force of military aud pelice was present, and could not prevent it. The Lancashire men' refused to buy his materials, tho’, confessedly, they were the best in the market. Then they |
