Selected Story.

THE SISTER'S STRATAGEM.

“T’ve got good cause. You're enough

to ri the patience of a saint.” “As if you are a saint !

“You needn't wish yourself any

worse than you are now, madam, to ac complish that.” “ Call me pet names; I'm used to it.’ “T won't live with you another day Tll leave you and go back to mother's you insulting wretch, before I’m a day older.”

“Now you begin to talk sensibly,

Maria; I really wish you would!”

hysterics, under cover of which he husband beat a precipitate retreat

They had been married only two years,

aod quarrelled continually.

Mrs. Strother’s sister was visiting them at that particular time, and she heard the foregoing conversation. Af- ter Mr. Strother had gone, she quietly

asked her sister if such scenes were of frequent occurrence. « Kveryday—almost,” sobbed Mrs.

Strother, rubbing some camphor into |

her eye with startling effect.

“ Who begins it ?”

“Why, Mr. Strother, of course! I am not quarrelsome!” exclaimed Mrs. Strother indignantly.

“No, I perceive not. Well, I see your husband isa perfect brute. [ wouldn’t Jive with such a man for the universe.”

“IT suppose you think. your husband & paragon!” snapped Mrs, Strother, spitetully.

“Ob, no; but then he never quarrels with me.” And Mrs. Strother's sister amiled maliciously.

“He must bea very even tempered man then, if he never quarrels with i she said, with a scornful curl of thé lip.

“ He is; for which I thank the Fates.”’

Mrs. Malcom—that was the name of Mrs. Strother’s sister—turned away her face to conceal a laugh. She saw the quarrels between Mr. Strother and his wife were only surface troubles—the deep current of their love was, as yet, unchanged. She perceived this from her sister’s acidity when she had offer- ed to join with her in Mr. Strother’s condemnation. But she also saw that the everyday “unpleasantness,” if not met with prompt and vigorous remedies would ultimately end in mutual es- trangement. One thing was certain—- the blame was not on one side alone, therefore the remedies must be divided.

“ Maria,” she suddenly said,” I wish ou would come and pay me 4 visit,

th you and your husband. 1 told Mr. Malcolm before, that I was going to bring you home with me; and if you don’t go I promise you | won’t come to see you again in a hurry.”

“I don’t know; but I'll go if Mr. Strother will,” she finally said.

Down sat Mrs Malcolm, and wrote a long letter to her hasband, which she sealed very privately, and sent to the post-oifice by a boy whom she gave a shilling to carry it.

In due season, Mr. Strother returned from his business, and accepted the in- vitation. And accordingly, when Mrs. Malcolm’s visit was ended, they accom- panied her to her home.

Mr. Malcolm met the party at the station. He greeted his brother and sister-in-law quite kindly, but when he terned to his wife he looked as savage as need be.

“So you’re home at last, are you ?” he growled. “You've been gadding about half the time since our marriage, and now for the sake of getting rid of

rou, your brother and sister have rought you home.

Mrs. Malcolm glanced hastily at her sister and her sister’s husband, before she replied. Their faces were as red as fire, and they looked much, distressed at this “ family jar.”

“You needn’t say anything,” she ‘artily responded. ‘“ Who was it that went off to the Lakes last summer, and was gone a month, I would like to en- quire ?”

“I did—to escape the constant din you made about Brighton.”

“I didn’t.”

“You did.”

(CAPSICUM)

3

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 been eaused 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.

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 a certain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVvrN’s Capsicum Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety o1 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 ove plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAP8I- 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.
