Tne close of the year should bring about, as far as possible, a closing ot accounts. No man should enter upon the new year with shreds and patches of debt here or there, for these loose enda may make or mar the success of the year past, and the year to come. If you can clear yourself of debt, do so by all means. if you cannot pay all you owe, do so as far as you ¢an, and know precisely how much you must mortgage the income of next year to make good the balance against you for the year closing. You don’t. care to have a mortgage on the little house you live in, but the debt you contract to-day is a mortgage on the earnings of to- morrow, and the days to come. Just bear this fact in mind, and sooner or later there will be but little need of enterprises like the Collector, if you rightly construe the Igsson we would teach. In humble life there is only one safe course to pursue, “ Pay as you go,’ or go without all the luxuries and superfluities of life until you are enough above water to afford them. You will find it the most pleasant course in the end, the only one that will lead you to independence, and the only one that is absolutely right—E xchange.
The waves at one of the London opera-houses on a recent occasion were so unsuccessfully worked, that at times they recalled a story told by Poole, the dramatist, of an occurrence at one of the theatres. The sea was made of loose painted canvass, and two sets of bovs—one short and the other tall— were employed to stoop and raise alter- naiely beneath the canvass, and thus to give the idea of waves. One night the ocean Was in a singular commotion and all the waves seemed to be in the middle of the siage ; fearful noises wero also heard. The affrighted lessee rushed behind the scenes to seek an explana- tion, and was told by his stage manager, “It's all right now, sir; the eighteen- penny waves were giving the shilling waves 3 licking.”
A sergeant of the One Ilundred and Tenth meets a pleasant woman on the train: She—‘* what regiment do you belong to?” He— The Hundred and Tenth.” She—“ How lucky! My son is in the Hundred and Elevenih, right next to you. Will you take him this ham ?” He—‘ With pleasure.” (Takes it.) She—* Well, wasn’t I in luck!” (Exeunt Amob. They have ham at the sergeant’s mess of the One Hundred and Tenth for dinner next day. )
They had been engaged for a long time, and one evening were reading the paper together. “ Look, love,” he ex- claimed, “ only fifteen dollars for a suit of clothes!’ “Is it a wedding suit?” she asked, looking naively at her lover. “Oh no,” he answered; “It is a busi- ness suit.” ‘“ Well, 1 meant business,” she replied.

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 dilferent diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over lialf of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Jn. MELVIN’S CArsicuM Porors 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, convineed of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porows 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 a certain cure, ask your druggist for
dR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although 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 other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantees of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for Dr. Metvin’s CApst- cUM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for adozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
