Waydown Bebee’s Fall Song.
—
See de leaves a fallin’ down, Hear de breezes blowin ; See de skies a-lookin’ like De clouds would soon be snowin’.
Chorus—Wake up, cull’d folks, Hustle in dat wood ;
Get in your meat and taters,
For summer’s gone for good
See de frost on top de grass, An’ h’ar de chil’en cryin’;
De ivy-green has got a chill, Aw base ball am a dyin’.
Cho. —Wake up in de mawnin’-- Make dem black heels fly ! Summer's gone an’ winter cold Won't pass de darkey by !
De ‘possum wanders all alone, De woodchuck sadly calls ; De hickory nut it can’t hold on,
An’ to de groun’ it falls.
(ho. —Lift up dem feet, brudder, Make de cabin tight! De winter will be long an’ cold, Kase summer was so bright !

How Do We Bear False Witness.
The answer to this from mapy lips would be prompt, tor the sense mentally eonjured up by the words is usually that of a person standing in a witness-box in a court of justice, and making false state- ments concerning some other person ; but there are many ways besides that io which some of us are constantly guilty of the sin of “‘bearing false witness.”
We bear false witness of others when we join in the miserably mean, small tit- tle-tattle which is always going on res- pecting their sins and failings; and we give little twists to our reports of their actions, little colorings—very faint, per- haps—that show them up in the worst light ; not falschoods—-oh, no! not false- hoods by any means—we never tell false- hoods, we are above that sort of thing; but we do like just to criticise a little bit, and criticism is dangerous ground, for when we are at once fairly started on other peoples shortcomings it is 80 easy— oh, #0 easy !—to put in a touch here and a shading there till the picture is com- pletely altered. It is not necessary eith- er to talk about others or to bear false witness against them. We can do it just as easily by keeping silence when we ought to speak—by holding our tongues when we hear what we know, or have good reason to suspect, are untrue reports concerning our absent fricncs. A smile of assent when we hear them blamed, an iscredulous smile or glance when we hear them praised—we need not utter one word,und yet we have borne false witness.
We bear false witness of others to our- s:lves when we are too ready to carp at and criticise their conduct towards us; when we are «ways looking out for slights aod take offence at words, or even looks and tones, which, although = may possibly hit us, were in all probability never intentionally aimed at us; when we put down innocent actions to low motives, and tancy that everythiog which does not look quite clear to us must necessarily flow trom poisoned springs.
We bear false witness of ourselves to others. We take credit, many of us, for virtues that we do not in reality possess ; our church-and-chapel going religion stands us in good stead in that respect, and we put on a fair outside seeming be- fore the world, which we hope hides our manifold little meannesses and the bosom sins of whose existence we ourselves alone are conscious—and not always we ourselves.
We bear false witness of ourselves to ourselves. We are not honest with our- selves. Sharp as is our vision for the failings of others, it usually becomes dim enough when turned inwards on our own, and the glance is but cursory. We might be far more sincere with ourselves than we are; and then it would be easier to avoid the many gaps in which
We bear false witness to Christ. For, alas! we do that. By thoughtlessness and inconsistency we bring reproach on Him whom we hold up as the great ex- ample for mankind; and the world, look- ing on us, instead of looking up to Him, shakes its head and says, “If these are His followers we will have none of Him !”’
A facetious brakeman on the Central Pacific Railroad, cried ont as the train was about entering a tunnel: “This tun- nel is one mile long, and the train will be four minutes in passing through it.” The train dasbed into daylight again in four seconds, and the scene within the cir was a study for a painter. ladies were closely pressed by seven pairs masculine arms, fourteen pairs of lips were glued together, and two dozen in- verted whiskey flasks flashed in the air.

‘‘Tam a rooty-beggar, the most unpopular of vegetables, and I pro to plant my- self right here at this dinner-table,” said a tramp to a woman whose husband was away. ‘You're good for nothing unless boiled,” said the woman, and she emptied a pan of hot water over him, causing him t9 run away. Human vegetables should be sure of
their ground before they plant themselves.

The Greatest Medical Discovery 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 deen 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 PoRrovs 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. Al) other plasiers are slow of action, and require 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.
Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsieum; and it has always been more or Jess 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. MELvyrn’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 a certain eure, ask your druggist for
R. Meuvin’s CAPsicuM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and
uick in its action, you can rely on its safety
or 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 merita, and one plaster will el) hundreds to your friends. sk your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cuM Porous PLA8TER, 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,
