‘IN MEMORY OF BROTHER

i've breathed no sigh, Ive shed no tear, Where Brother takes his rest ;

I’ve never knelt upon the sod, That lies upon his breast

He sleeps afar from childhood’s home, | ‘Mid stranger’s graves, alone ;

And those who pass that lonely spot, Repeat the word ‘ unknown.’

Unknown to them the Mother's hope Chat centered once in him ;

Unknown to them the sister’s love That Death can never dim.

{

Ob! could we but have closed his eyes, Received his parting breath,

And heard him speak one kind good-bye Before he slept in death.

We cannot place one flowery wreath Embalmed in sorrow’s tear,

‘To breathe its last sweet fragrance out, Above the one so dear.

Yet will the moonlight, soft and pure, His couch with beauty lave ;

And angels, from their starry home, Keep watch o'er Brother's grave.

AN IRON WEDDING.

Busby. of Trenton, celebrated his ‘iron wedding ” one day last week, and | invited about one hundred and twenty | guests to the wedding. Of course, each | person felt complied to bring a present of some kind, and each did. When Mr. and Mrs. Smith came, they handed Busby a pair of flat-irons. When Mr. and Mrs. Jones arrived, they also had a pair of flat-irons. All hands laughed at the coincidence, and there was great merriment when the Browns arrived with two pairs of flat-irons; but when Mr. and Mrs. Robinson came in, with another pair of flat-irons, the laughter became perfectly convulsive. There was, however, something less amusing about it when the Thompsons arrived with four flat-irons wrapped in brown paper. And Busby’s face actually looked grave when the three Johnson girls were ushered into the parlor carry- ing a flat iron apiece. Each one of the succeeding guests brought flat-irons, and there was no break in the continu- ancé until old Mr. Curby came from Philadelphia with a cast iron cow-bell ; and at any other time he would have treated such a present with scorn, but now he was actually grateful to Mr. Curby, and he was about to embrace him, when the Walshinghams came with the new kind of double-pointed flat-irons with wooden handles. And all the rest of the guests brought the same articles except Mr. Rugby, and he had with him a patent stand for hold- ing flat-irons. Busby got madder and madder every minute, and by the time the company had all arrived he was nearly insane with rage, and he went to bed leaving his wife to entertain the guests. In the morning they counted up the spoils and found they had two hundred and thirteen flat-irons, one stand and a cow-bell. And now the Basbys have cut the Smiths,and Browns, and Jacksons, and Thompsons and the rest entirely, for they are convinced that there was a preconcerted design to play a trick uponthem. The fact how- aver, is that the hardware stores in the

iace had an over-stock of flat-irons, and sold them at an absurdly low figure. and Busby’s friends went for the cheap est thing they could find, as people al- ways do on such occasions. Busby thinks he will not celebrate his ‘ silver wedding.’

~~ p>e-————_—— An Economical Husband

AYew days ago a couple from lowa, on their way East, had to stop in De- troit, owing to the wife’s illness. They went to a hotel, and for the first day or two the husband didn’t complain of the cost, but when his wife grew worse, and a doctor was calied in and a nurse em- ployed, he began to hang on to the dol lars which were demanded. On the fifth day the doctor looked serious and said that.ethe woman would probably die. The husband consulted with the hotel clerk and with a freight agent, and going back to his wife he leaned over her and sobbed:

“ QOb! Sarah Jane! you must not die

here!

“T don’t want to leave you, Philetus,” she replied, ‘but I fear that my time has come.”’

“Don’t! oh ! don't die here!’ he went on.

“Tf my time has come I must go,” she said.

“Yes, I suppose so, but if I could oniy get you back home first I’d save at least forty dollars on funeral ex- penses, and forty dollars don’t grow on every bush !”’

HORACE HASZARD, Agent P. E. Island.

The Greatest Medical Diseovery since 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 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 require to be worn continually te 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 thoroughly 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, convineed 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 baek, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for
