The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself, Sunday is the golden clasp that binds together the volume of the week. Be not forgetful to entertain strang ers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Modest humility is beauty’s crown, for the beautiful is a hidden thing and shrinks trom its own power. Not nations, nor armies, have ad vanced the race, but here and there, in the course of ages, an individual has stood up and cast his shadow over the world. Have the courage to show your re- spect for honesty, in whatever guise it appears ; and your contempt for dis- honesty and duplicity, by whomsoever exhibited. Self-distrust is the cause ot most of our failures. In the assurance of strength there is strength, and they are the weakest, however strong, who have no faith in themselves or their } OwWwers. Whatever you attempt, do it with strength. Determination is omnipot- ent. If the prospect is somewhat darkened, put the fire of resolution to your soul, and kindle a flame that no- thing but death can extinguish. Whatever you wish your child to be, be it yourself. If you wish your child to be happy, sober, truthful, affection- ate, honest, and godly, be yourself’ all these. If you wish it to be lazy and sulky, a liar and a thief, a drunkard and a swearer, be yourseli' all these. Do not be afraid of diminishing your own happiness by promoting that of others. He who labors wholly for the benefit of others, and, as it were, forgets himself, is far happier than the man who makes himself the sole object of all his affections and exertions. Venerate four characters: the san- guine, who has checked volatility and the rage for pleasure; the choleric. who has subdued passion and pride ; | the phlegmatic, emerged from indo- lence; and the melancholic, who has dismissed avarice, suspicion, and as- perity. If we create imaginary wants, why do we not create imaginary satisfac- tions? It was the happier frenzy of the two to be like the mad Athenian, who thought all the ships that came into the harbor to be his own, than be still tormenting ourselves with insati- able desires. Honor your engagements. If you promise to meet a man, or do a certain thing at a certain moment, be ready at the appointed time. If you go out on business, attend promptly to the mat ter in hand, and then as promptly go about our own business. Do not stop to tell stories in business hours. If you have a place of business, be found there when wanted. The people who are always anxious to bestow contidence in their neighbors are unmitigated nuisances. There are some things one does not care to know, and it is a great annoyance to have a gossiping neighbor insist upon making you the depository of such unpalatable secrets, and then, perhaps, going on a.

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 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 with aseries of questions intended to worm out of you an opinion which you | are not disposed to give. It is equally | annoying to have a person of this sort intimate that there is sometbing which he might tell you that would greatly surprise and grieve you, but which he) will for the present withhold out of re- gard for your feelings. Itis also an annoyance and an impertinence to be questioned as to your views of a cer- tain matter, it may be, in the presence of the very people before whom you would be most unwilling to state your Opinion. iia isi ndindigice Acr.—Old! Well, it does take one’s breath away; mast we all grow old ? It seems so. Time will not stand still, and wrinkles and gray hairs mark his way. Yes, physically we must grow old; but mentally and emotionally need we become so? I doubt it. A great deal of splendid work is done by peope who have arrived at the age when the facul- ties are supposed to fail, and I think we all feel that we may hope to work all our lives. ' If we take good care of ourselves we may be worth as much until the end as we ever have been ; and with this com- | forting thought comes another; the sweetness, the tenderness of youth need not depart with its beauty. We are not compelled to grow hard and cold, to take stern views of life, and refuse and well know the eftect of Capsicum; anc it has always been more or less used as & 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 back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. 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 I Kad own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, youcan rely on its safety for the most delicate — to wesr, 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 merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends. Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- CUM PoroUSs 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.
