The Age of Fraud.

Sawn

Fraud after fraud appears ; Who has not known a fraud?

Of our first hundred years This grand result we land.

Beginning at the head,

The fester eats its way, Through all the body spread,

Enlarging day by day. We know not whom to trust.

The best becomes the worst, High pillars drop to dust,

The strongest chains are burst, The lonely widow's mite,

The orphan’s snered share, Frand snatches from their sight,

Or seatters in the ar. Kach dao brings new disgrace,

We move from bad to worse. fill fraud’s familiar face

We have forgot to curse. iiow long can we endure,

Corrupted, sick and sore? Can any charms our evils cure,

And virtue’s health restore ? The head that’s lifted up

Is black and foul with fraud. Begin the work at top,

Then leave the rest to God. Strike at the central spot,

The root and source of wrong ! Remove that monstrous blot.

Which we have borne too long ! Let the exampie cease !

For then, and not till then, Will frauds and thefts decrease,

And virtue live again.

Old Clothes.

Itis wonderful what an amount of adaptability there is in old clothes, and how readily they consent to be made over, brushed up, washed, sponged, dyed or otherwise rejuvenated till it would almost require an expert, to tell that they were not new. A cunning hand can indeed make a very represent- able garment from two old ones; and who of us has bestowed some ancient garment upon our washer or herb woman, but is more or less amazed to see to what good account she turns it?

If there are sermons in stones, old clothes preach to us, as well. There is a charm, perhaps, in wearing them which those who make haste to put on new ones fail to recognize; there is always the certain pleasure of saving the new ones; at least the surety that no necident of the day can greatly af- flict us; that we are not obliged to move ia deference to our attire; that we can ramble in the woods without anxiety; that neither sun nor raio can disturb our tranquility ; that a careless or awkward neighbor has no alarm for us,

In our old clothes we can romp with the children, and little fingers where bread and molasses yet linger have no terrors for us. If we need to trans- plant our flowers, to weed the garden, to pick the peas for dinner, how plain- ly precept and example point to the old clothes! how comfortable we are in them! It is the old shoe that never pinches or squeaks, the old gown that never interrupts digestion or peace of mind, the old glove that has shaped it- self to the hand, the old cloak that ad- vertises our approaches to our neigh- bors, and give them notice to change the babies apron and set the room to rights, the old hat that is not afraid to be caught in a shower. They have adapted themselves to our requirements they suit us as nothing new was ever known to do.

“Tf you have aay enterprise before you, try it in your old clothes,”’ says the sage of Wadden Woods ; yet such is the common prejudice against them that a stranger thus apparled would fall under some suspicion among us; being in the possession of no data from which to infer her social and mental position; we would naturally accept the antiquity of her clothes as a certificate in inferiority. At the same time, this fact in no way diminishing the ability of old clothes to confer a happy go- lucky mood upon the wearer, who is not obliged to mind his p’s and q’s for fear of ruffling his plumage.

he Sialic

A popular amusement at Nevada pic- nics is the “egg race,”’ one of which is thus described : “Each lady was re- quired to carry an uncooked egg ina tablespoon, the one reaching the goal first with the egg unbroken to be judged winner. Enough eggs were broken to make an omelet as big as the wheel of aquartz wagon.”

Siciiriiiiiilmaaiy tiwniisis tdi

Careful physicians who have thor- oughly investigated the matter, say that writing on both sides of the paper will predispose the system to the yellow fever, and is one of the primary causes of that disease. We trust our correspondents, especially those who write poetry and politics, will remem- ber this.— Burlington Hawkeye.

(°° + es

Some fellow has written a poem to his girl, beginning, “If thou could’st only know.’’ Yes, if she coulds’t only know the number of old socks, he is saving up to he darned, and the dilapi- dated apparel that she will be expected to resuscitate, we have no doubt the course of his true love would begin to be less smooth.—Breakfast Table.

APSICU

-, —

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 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 CAPsitcUmM 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.

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.

3cing, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Mrivrn’s Capsicum Porovs 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 ean hardly believe your own 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 ther poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPst- cum Porovus 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,
