To the Absent.

How happy the days were !- Whero, Nanna, art thou ?

And where is the gladness I’m longing for now ?

A lovely companion in life had I then,

Whom sadly and lonesome I pine for again.

I enter thy chamber; how empty and lone !

A temple forsaken, a goddess’s own!

There’s not a dear place where thy footsteps hath been :

But wakens remembrance so happy and keen.

I go to the mirror and seek for thee there ;

But thee it forgets and tliine image so fair.

And now for thy picture to soothe me I come ;

It hears not a word that I say and is dumb.

A pilgrim I wander and sce but for thee ;

i sit on the stone where thon sattest with me.

[ sit and listen and listen ; but all

That 1 hear is the wind and the brook in its

fall,

I go to the garden and fondle the flowers

That harbored thy fancies in earlier hours ;

They lean in their sorrow, those delicate blooms,

And the longer I suffer their beauty consumes,

i walk in the woods. Like a friend is each tree

Where my name in the bark was once lettered by thee,

[ take the lightboat and row off to thine isle,

And the wind and the wave that whispers ** Nanna” the while.

Come heart to my heart, ’tis thy birthday to- day !

My life-joy lies sealed in a letter away ;

But the seal shall be broken in less than a year,

And the bride will be wife to me happy and dear !

A Story of a Trail.

She was a tall, stout individual, aod she sprang eut of the wagon as lightly as a spring chicken after a grasshopper. ife was a little, withered, dried-up weazle, snd followed slowly, bringing a basket of eggs with him. ‘They entered one of our stores, and she asked, ““‘What are you giving for eggs ?”’

“Kight cents,” was the reply of the counter jumper.

“Well, here are three dozen, and [’li take it in calico.”

“But 1 want some yarn to mend my socks,’ put in the old man.

“The weather is warm,” replied the fat party, ‘“‘and you can go without socks,”

“But my boots hurt my feet,’’ insisted the old man.

“Go barefooted,”? said she rather sharply. Then turning to the clerk she remarked: “Young man, please count me out the eggs, and give me four yards of calico to match this ’ere dress,”

“But—” the eld man was going to continue, when she raised her huge index finger and said, “Henry Winter Davis Spriggins, them ’are egzsare mime, them hens what laid ’em are mino, and I’m go- ing to have a trail on this ’ere dress as long as Betsy Gowen’s if every toe on your feet turn into gumbiles. Now shut. youngster yank off four yards of that calieo, or you will heara bumble be a buzzing.’’

The old man shut, and she clerk yank- ed off the calico.

Weil Done.

A young man called, in company with several other gentlemen, upon a young! lady. Her father was also present, to, assist in entertaining thecallers. He did not share his daughter’s scruples against the use of spirituous drinks, for he had wine to offer. The wine was poured out and would soon have been drvnk, but the young lady asked:

TO

“Did you call upon me, or upon papa?’’

Gallantry, if nothing else, compelled them to answer: “We called upon you.”’

“Then you will please not drink wine, I have lemonade for my callers.”’

The father urged them to drink and they were undecided.

The young lady added: “Remember, if you call on me, then you drink lemon- ade; but if upon papa, why, in that case I have nothing to say.’

The wine glasses were set down with their contents untasted. After leaving the house one of the purty exclaimed, that is the most effectual temperance lec- tures I ever heard.”

Indeed it was sown on good ground. It took root, sprang up, and now is bear- ing fruit. The young man, from whom these facts were obtained, broke off at once from the use of strong drink, and is now a clergyman, preaching temperance and relig.on. As he related the cireum- stauce to me, tears came into his eyes.

fe sees now his former dangerous posi- tion, and holes in grateful remembrance the lady who gracetully and still resolute- ly gave him to understand that her cailers! should not drink wine.

The People Want Proof.

There is no medicine prescribed by physi- cians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtues as BoscurE&’s GERMAN Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any person afliicted, can geta Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior etfect before buying the regular size at 75 cents. It has lately been introduced in this country from Germany, and its wonderful cures are astonishing everyone that use it. Three doses will relieve any case. Try it. Seld by all Duggists on the Western Continent.

The Greatest Medical Diseovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of theo 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 CArsicuM 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 entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in 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, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MrLvrn’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 orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want aeertain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Ithough powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and Ger poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient > of its merits, and one plaster will gell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’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.
