She served kimd of a person, about thirty- five years of age. One thing I had ofien remarked about her was, tirai wien speaking to anyone she never loved stenight at them; but I -hoaght from a kind of :hynes } ise, i mgyat be m>.e than any hing e As soul as breakiast was over I set of. telling my husband | would very lidery D , return until next day ; and, if’ possible, he was to come for me._ He could drive over early and spend the day, and we would return together in the evening, if all was well with hi: mother. When [ arrived I found Mrs. Benson and Mary looking as well as ever, anc everything seemingly just as usual, Martha was sitting at work in her little room, which opened oif Mes. Benson's drossing-room. I could not help look- ing at her more closely than I would done at another time, and |] uv I saw a look of displeasure cross her face at seeing me. Mary and mother were, of course, delighted to see me, and asked why Henry did not come, too. So I told them that I would stay till the next day, if they would have me, and Henry would come foi me then. ‘hey were quite pleased at that arrangement; for it was not very often my husband could spend a whole day with them. As the day passed on, and nothing out of the way happened, I began to think that I had frightened mysel! needlessly, and that my dread or vision might have been the result of an ove. anxious mind. And then Martha, what about her? Altogether I was perplex- ed, I did not know what to think; but I still felt a certain undefined uneasi- ness. I offered up a silent prayer to be directed to do right, and determined to wait patiently and do nothing fora while. [ ulmost hoped T might hear the voice again, giving me definite instructions how to act. Lunch passed and dinner also; and the evening being very warm, for it was in the middle of July, we sat at the open window enjoy. ing the cooling breeze that set in from the sea. As they were early people, shortly after ten o'clock we said “ good night,” and went up to our bedl-rooms. My room luoked on the avenue, some parts of which were in deep shade, while in other parts the moonlight shone bright- ly through breaks in the trees. I did not feel in the least sleepy; and putting out my candle [ sat by the window, looking at the lovely view, for I could see the coast quite planly, anl the dis- tant sea glittered like silver in the moonlight. Idid not think how long I hud been sitting there, until | heard the hall clock strike twelve. Just then I heard, as I thought, a footstep outside of my door, which evidently stopped there, and then in a few seconds passed on. 1 did not mind, thinking it might have thouvht ‘ 4 a .

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of tho Christian Era. There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been eaused by ontward 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 acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will fee) its effect. Physiciansin all ages have thoronghly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medicai 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 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 worth $11.95.
