(Concluded, ) “Don't, don’t!’ begged Harry, the tears starting in his own eyes. ‘‘You shall have Prince. I have a dollar and eighty-two cents, and I'll borrow the other eighteen cents from my mother.” The girl’s tace lit up with joy; she thrust the toys into his hands. “Take them, you good, good boy!” she said, “and Vil tell my mamma about you when I say my prayers to-night.” Harry put them back in her apron. “You keep them until I come back,” he said: “I won't be gone bur a little while; and away he ran to his home. There he found his mother making the tire, and his father smelling the coffee she had measured out ready for boiling. «Mother,”’ said he, “ will you lend me eighteen cents?” [ intended to give you ten,” she said. “for your Fourth of July. But why do you want it so early in the morn- ing ?”’ “Please, mammy,’ coaxed Uarry, + make it. eighteen, and I'll pay it back to you soon; and may I have a sl.ce of bread and butter for a poor little girl ?” I'll tell you all about it by-and-by ” “T can't make it eighteen,” said his mother: “ I haven’t another cent. ‘Take the ten if you want it. It’s in my pocket- book in the top bureau drawer, and the bread’s on the table. Don't bother me any more—I’m in a hurry.” Harry helped himself, and then be rap away to where Nellie patiently awaited him, a smile of perfect trust upon her lips. ‘It’s all right,’ said Harry, putting the bread in her hand (an uscommon thick slice it was, too, with plenty of butter); “eat that,” By this time there was a number of people in the streets, and pistols were being fired and torpedoes and fire-crackers set off, and all the belis began ringing. And Harry looked at the ice-cream stand, which the owner—a jolly-faced old woman, who had just arrived with a bag aud a basket of fruit, cakes and candy— was preparing for the day, aud at an early rocket that was going up in the sky; and he thought of the long time he hnd been saving the money, and of the intended supper, and the fireworks, of the tene- ment-house children oh-ing avd ah-iog ; and then, the door of the pound being opened, he took Nellie by the hand and marehed in. “ Ts there a little brown dog here ”” he asked. ‘* Named Prince ?” said Nellie, her love making her bold—‘ a dear litte dog ?”’ ‘Ha! ba!’ laughed the man; “ that’s good. Why, there’s fifty brown dogs here, and all of ‘em ‘dear,’ I think. Two dollars apiece. Do you want to get one out ?” « Yes, sir,” said Harry, “ Lf you'll take a dollar and ninety-two cents—all I have.” At this moment, a tall, dark, odd-look- ing gentleman came into the doorway and stood just behind the children. ‘‘Can’t do it,’ said the man, ‘it’s against the law to take less than two dol- lars.” Nellie began to sob again, and the tall ventleman came forward. ‘Your dog ?”’ he asked Harry. ‘No, sir; hers,” replied the boy. « Your sister ?” was the n-xt question, ‘No, sir. I never saw her till this morning. I came out to buy some things for a Vourth-of-July party, and I took a walk down this way ‘cause the shops wasu't open, and [ found lier sitting ona door-step, and she’d been sitting there all night.” “ All night!’ repeated the gentleman, just as Harry had done, only without the whistle. ‘Tell me all about it.” And he looked so kind and good that Harry did tell him all about it. And when the story was finished, the gentle- man said to the man at the door, “you'd better take the money Lewis. But wait —we’ll see if Prince is really here.”’ And led by their new friend, the chil- dren went io. There were dogs of all kinds there, all shapes, all sizes, all colors that dogs could be—yelping, barking, growling, and moaning. Nellie looked esgerly around, and shouted “Prince |’ as loud as she could shout, but could scarcely hear herself, so great was the noise. But a little brown dog, whose ears must have beea much sharper than hers, sprang forward with a ey of delight that seemed to come out of the very top of bis little brown head. “Ivs Prince! it’s Prioce !”” cried Nellie, clappiug her hands in delight ; and the next moment he was ia her arms covering her face with dog kisses. Harry marched out, handing the poor- man the money as he passed. The tall gentleman followed with the little girl and her dog ; and when they were all in the street ouce more, he stopped and pat- ted Prince on the head, at the same time tucking Haray’s handkerchief, which was hanging half way out, into his pocket, ' and saying, “ you'll loose that if you're: not careful, my boy. _ Then he kissed both children and went into the pound again. And Nellie threw her arms around Harry’s neek and gave they parted. “And that’s the endof our Fourth of-July party,” after, to the Jacklow family, as he finish- ed his breakfast and his story at the same time. ‘“You'’rea good boy, and did just right,” said all the Jacklow family, with the ex- ception of Mr. Jacklow, who remarked that “that dollar and ninety-two cents would have kept him in tobacco a long while.” And baby Jennie came and gave her big brother a sweet kiss—in fact, a very sweet kiss, for some of the sirup which she had been eating on her bread and butter went with it; and, as she toddled away, Harry pulled out his handkerchief’ to wipe his mouth. [It came ont with a jerk, and four bright new silver half dollars rolled away toward the corners as fast as they could. But they were pounced upon before they had rolled a foot. “The tall gentleman!” said Harry. “God bless him!” said his mother. “Three cheers for our side !’ shouted Eddie, and he proceeded to give them. “7 wish I had the morning paper,” sail Mr. Jacklow. And there was a party, after all, and hesides the family there were three other guests—an old woman, a small girl, and a little brown dog.— Harper's J Ve ek ly . QUEEN INSURANCE CO,Y, OF ENGLAND.

GEORGE MACLEOD (Union Bank), Agent for Prince Edward Island June, 1877 CAPSICUM } ROHS ARCEAL 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 Deen 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 Pornovs 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 seryice than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and oe 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. Being, however, convinced 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 acertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe rer 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 Jead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial isa sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sel) hundreds to your friends. Ask your druggist for DR, Mgivix’s CAPS8I- cuM Porovs 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.
