BY R. NORMAN GUNNISON.

In the beyond toward which our feet are tending,

That future vast, oJ

Which shall endure though time shall have its ending,

When time is past, What shall we find? We dream of pastures vernal, Of jasper walls, A new Jerusalem which is eternal. No shadow falls

To blight the sunshine of that glorious city, That Jand of light. No tears of sorrow or an Jelic pity, Shall dim the sight.

We see, as John saw in the Revelation, Its bulwarks — 7

A radiant city glad with our salvation 7 Patan God’s own hand.

Sea ereenmeementeee eterna

‘There shall be no more sorrow there, nor crying, Through endless years. There shall be neither sickness, pain nor cry1ng,

No bitter tears.

He saw the city, by God’s mercy gifted, As metey’s crown.

He saw not man himself to Heaven uplifted, But Heaven came down.

We wait to talk Within thy pathways olden, in the beyond.

Opium Hating.

The New York 7imes publishes an ar- ticle presenting a number of startling facts and figtres regarding the cpium habit in the United States. That the evil is rapid- ly iucreasing is proved conclusively ; that it demands the immediate attention, not only of the medical profession, but of all those having at heart the welfare of their fellow men, is demonstrated clearly. From careful research and inquiry it appears that no less than 2,589,924 839 grains of oy ium ar@brought into the country annu-; ally. . After 5 per cent. of this amount, used for legitimate purposes, has been de. ducted, there remain 6,125,383 grains which are each day used solely for the nar- cotic effects ofthe drug. Allowing to each opium debauch 30 grains a day, which is suid fo be a very high average, it will be seen that-there are not less than 204,000 of these upfortunutes in the United States. How they are to be cured isa question which well merits the attention of all thoughtful men.

Leave THE Neck Bant.—Every one must, remark that a favourite article of} winter clothing for children is a comforter swathed urowod the neck. This is a great error} the feet und the wrists are the pro

r wiembers to keep warm ; the face aod throat will harden isto healthy indiffer- ence to cold; but that muffler, exchanged for a®@xztra pair of thick socks and knit. ted gl.ves, would preserve a boy or girl really warmand well. Bronchitis and sore throug. shave declined fifty per cent, stoce the ahaurd use of high collars and twice round teckerchiefs went out of fashion ; and if the ‘poor would také better care of their child-en’s feet half the infantile mor-

CAPSICUM: — Dp . aah o 7 rd pC OUS; LF EKS.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the

Commentement of the Christian Era.

There never has heen 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 Cavsicum Pornovs 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 ..undred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action. and require to b= 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 thoronghly tested an:l well know the effeet of Capsicum; and it has always been more er less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it ia 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. MELyIN’sS CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rbeumatisin, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as 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. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects, hough powerful and quick in its action, yon can rely on its safety for 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. Mrivrn’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 mailed, post paid, to avy address in the United States or Canadas,
