Se OO a i renin OW i an OI 8, Oe ee ’ ~ a — se Good Society. Many parents who have sons and daughters growing up are anxious, for them to get into good society. This is an honorable anxiety, if it interprets good society after some lofty fashion. — Parents, your daughter 1s In good society when she is with girls who are, sweet and pure and true-hearted ; who are not vain or frivolous; who think of something besides dress, or flirting, or marriage ; between whom and their parents there is confidence ; who are use ful as well as ornamental in the house; who cultivate their minds, and train their hands to skilful workmanship. It soci- ety of this ort is not to be had, then none at all is preferable to a worthless article. See te it that you impress this on your children, and, above all, that you do not encourage them to think that good society is a matter of fine clothes, or wealth, or boasting to be somebody. As you value your child’s soul, guard her egainst these miserable counterfeits, and impress upon her that intelligence and modesty and goodness are the only legal coin. The same rule holds for boys as well as for girls. You would have these enter into good society. Do not imagine that you have accomplished it when you have got them with a set of boys whose parents are wealthier than you, who dress better than your boy can afford, and who pride themselves upon their social position. Good society for a boy is the society of boys who are earnest and ambitious, They are not in a hurry to be men. They are not ambitious for the company of shallow, heartless women, old enough to be their mothers, and are not envious of their friends who faney there is something grand in dulling all the edge of their heart’s hope upon such jaded favorites. There ‘is nothing sadder than to see either young mon or women priding them- selves upon the society which they enjoy, when verily it isa Dead Sea apple that will choke them with its dust, when they need some generous juicy fruit to cool their lips and stay the hunger of their souls. —_—____ +> Procrastination. Procrastination signifies putting off or neglecting present duties for another time, or a “more convenient season,’ and is styled “the thief of time.” I cannot imagine anything more paralyzing to one’s energies, nor so productive of unsatisfac- tory results at this. It renders one in- competent to oceupy positions of trust, and totally unfits him for the socia! con- fidence of friends. By neglecting the duties of today to-morrow is burdened with a work that is not its own ; and con- sequently has to be slighted somewhere, or ‘ put off’ for some other time, and so always keeps a person one day behind. Some sre more. Many wen with bright intellects have been complete failures, many eplendid opportunities have been lost, and many disastrous accideuts have been the results of this terrible, yet some- what universal habit. Time is short at most, and if you would accomplish any- thing you must be “ up and doing,” re- member “time and tide wait for no man.’ Men of the world that have accomplished anything worthy of note, have been men of fixed determination; men that have adopted the motto, ‘‘Never put off until to-morrow what can be done to-day,’’ and so must you if you would succeed. It is a habit that creeps almost imper~ ceptibly upon us and is such an easy thing to practice, that all are tempted to yield. It can easily be overcome by a little force of will, and the victory gained will more than repay the efforts put forth to conquer. Let all try it, and think like the follow- lng ‘ “ Count that day lost Whose low descending sun Views from the head, No worthy action done.”’ —_____««4be— —— Ambition is not a vice of little people. Man, while he loves, is never quite de- praved. Life has always action; it is our own fault if it ever be dull. Cautious age suspects the flattering form, and only credits what experience tells. Good is never more effectually perform- ed than when it is produeed by slow de- grees. Afflictions are the rough touches and hard rubs that we get to polish us for use and for shining. Life is asleep. Old men have slept the longest; they only begin to awaken when it is time to die. Each departing friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world, and the old man lives amongst graves. COAL! COAL! SYDNEY LARGE COAL. ARRIVE, per schr. ‘‘ Mary Bell,” 140 tons Se Large Coal.

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 eens 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 reguire to be worn continually to effeet 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 vsed as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- a 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 baek, 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 — want a certain cure, ask your druggist for R. MELYIN’s CapsicuM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. though powerful and a in its action, you can rely on its safety or 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 guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends. k your druggis CUM POROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on reeeipt 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, MANUFACTUBED BY THE NOVELTY PLASTER WORKS Lowell, Mase., U. 8.
