How She Sewed on His Buttons.

Old Blummer is tight-fisted. Several daysago he said to his wife, “Maria, I want you to look over that broadcloth | vest of mine and put new bnitons om | it, cause I’m going to a party to-night.”

“But Ely.’ answered Mrs. B., “I| haven’t any buttons to match that vest; | and “ . “Thunder!” broke in Blummer, “the | idea ofa woman keeping house as long as long as you have, an’ pretending to be out of buttons. L b'lieve you'll ask me for money to buy 'em with noxt.’

That evening Blummer hurried through his supper and began array ing himself for the party. Presently he called for the broadcloth vest, and Mrs. with marvellous promptitude handed it to him. He took it hastily unfolded it, and then, as his eye took in its com- plete appearance, he stood as one trans- fixed. ft was a six button vest, and there were six buttons on it, and the/ dazed optic of Blummer observed that the first, or top one, was a tiny pear! shirt button, and that the next one was a brass army overcoat button with U. S. gleaming upon it, and that number three was an oxydized silver affair, and that number four was a horn button,: evidently from the back of one of the Puritan fathers’ coats, and then came a suspender button, and then, as the daz. zled eyes of old Blummer reached the bottom button—a poker chip (found in old Biummer's pocket) with two holes punched through it—he guve a snort that made chandelier jingle. There is, after all, a fine sense of humor about Blummer, and he laughed till he cried. And there won't be any button money grudged in that houscholi hereafter.

Sensations IN A Deap Foor.—Gov- ervor Wade Hampton complains of a sensation of cold in his amputated foot, an experience not uncommon to people who hove lost limbs. Conversing with a friend the other day, he said, “ Some- times I suffer, strange to say, in my lost foot. My toes seem cold, my foot at times is very painful. Then again it itches me beyond endurance, and when half awake I find myself stretching my hand to scratch it, but to find its pres- ence a mere delusion.” This imagin- ary sensation, or rather the attributing ot a real sensation to an imaginary lo- cation, is because of the extreme sensi- teveness of the nervous trunk which formerly conveyed impressions from an extremity or member now removed. Then sensations which originated in the trunk are now attributed, because of fofmer habit, to the extremity where they once arose. Therefore sufferers from lost limbs often imagine they still feel sensations in the amputated part.

A Tovucuine Incipent.—A nobleman who died a few years since, had achest all locked up, but marked, “To be re- moved first in case of fire.” When he died, his friends opened that chest, sup- posing of course that vaiuable docu- menis ordeeds of property, rich jewelry or costly plate would be found in it. But what did they find? They found the toys of his little child who had gone before him. Richer than the world’s wealth, richer than his coronet, brighter than all the jewels that sparkled in the crest. Not his estate, not his jewels, not his equipage, nothing great and glorious in this world; but the dearest objects to him were the toys of his little child.

CaRE oF THE Hanps.—Borax water will instantly remove all soils and stains from the hands and neal all scratches and chafes. To make it, put some crude borax into a large bottle and fill in water. When the borax is dissolved add more to the water, until at least the water can absorb no more, and aresidum remains at the bottom of the bottle. To the waterin which the hands are to be washed after gardening

ur from this bottle enough to make it very soft. It is very cleansing and very healthy. By its use the hands will be kept in excellent condition, smooth, soft and white.

A small boy ef a clergyman in Port- land, Me., was detected by his mother in the act of “ ornamentin’ ” with bis jack-knife a costly inlaid table by a deeply cut carving of his ideal,steam- boat. A day or two after the ludy saw him from the door looking with admir- ing eyes at his partially-completed work, and heard him sig.: “ By George ! I wish I had got the smoke- stack on before she licked me.”’

The Greatest Medical Discovery 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 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 tc effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant 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- rane in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELvrN’s CAPSICUM Porovs PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribo 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 want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN's CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown 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 other poisonous material commonly used in the manutacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will ¢7li hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVrIN’s CAPSI- cum Porous 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,

CURES CATARRE, Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy. T. J. Bb. Harpixe, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

DEAR Str—Itis now two years since your ‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy eflects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be true.”

I was afilicted in my head tor years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular | saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop’ from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertownin August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send | vou this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to ‘make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,
