Cherish thy Mother.

Be gentle to thy mother : long she bore Thy infant freshness and thy silly youth : Nor rudely scorn the faithful voice that o’er The cradle pray’d, and taught thy lispings truth, Yes, she is old ; yet on thine adult brow ; She looks and claims thee as her own een now.

Uphold thy mother close toher warm heart She carried, fed thee,lull’d thee to thy rest ; Then taught thy tottering limbs their untried art Exulting in the fiedgling from her nest ; And now her steps are feeble, be her stay, Whose strength was thine in thy most feeble day. Cherish thy mother ; brief perchance the time May be that she will claim the care she gave: Past are her hopes of youth, her harvest prime Uf joy on earth ; her friends are in the grave ; But for her children, she could lay her head Gladly to rest among her precious dead.

Be tender to thy mother ; words unkind, Or light neglect frcim thee, will give a pang To that fond bosom, where thou art enshrinec in love unutterable, more than fang Of venom’d serpent, Wound not that strong trust, Aszthou wouldst hope for peace when she is dust.

O mother mine ! God grant I ne’er forget, Whatever be my grief, or what joy, The unmeasured unextinguishable depth I owe thy love ; but wake my sweet employ Ever through thy remaining days to he To the faithful as thou wert to me.

The Boy With the Bandbox.

Yesterduy forenoon as the people who had brought in produce to sell on the market were about ready to start for home, a boy appeared at the lower end of the Central market with a blue bandbox under his arm. Among the vehicles was a one-horse wagon belonging to an old woman who had just sold four bags of onions, and was ready to drive home. The boy approached her in an honest straightforward mauver and remarked:

“Well, auntie, here is that bonnet, at last,’’

“A bonnet?’ she inquired.

“Why, yes; the one you ordered at the store a week ago. You'll look so purty in it that the old man won’t know you. It’s all paid for all right, and now fi sit down right here by your feet. Tra-la, auntie!”

That old woman kuew it was a mistake in leaving a bonnet with her, but after the first words of surprise she made no sign. She reasoned that it wasn’t her» business to correct mistakes, and as soon as the boy had retired, she picked up the lines and drove up Randolph street, every moment expecting to hear the mis- taken boy calling after her, and every moment harrying the old nag as fast as he could go. After reaching the corner of Gratiot avenue and Brush street, she felt that the boy could not overtake her, and it was only natural that she should have a natural curiosity to what sert ofa bonnet it was. If plain black, it would suit her to adot. If gorgeous it would do for her daughter. The horse was reined up to the curb, and the driver carefully untied the striog fastening the box and lifted the cover. A “yaller” cat of monstrous size, feeling that he had been abused and insulted, and his eyes glaring with hate and contempt, eame out of the box like a bullet.

People who happened to be in that neighbourhood were treated to a curious spectacle. With one wild, unearthly yell an old woman was seen to pitch backward over the seat and then sail for the ground by the shortest route. While she was elawiog around with her head in a snow bank, the cat, seeing her out of the way, made a spriug from the seat to the horse’s back and began a series of performances never known or dreamed of by that old equine, and the way that horse gathered his legs under him and scattered the old waggon for half a block was wicked to see. The woman, dug out of the snow by a considerate bystander, stood on on the walk and endeavoured to explain. A man in the crowd picked up s wagon wheel and endeavored to remark that the whole outfit wasn’t worth scraping to- gether, and some one in the crowd solemn- ly observed :

“If honesty ain't the best policy, then I don’t wan't a ceat.’’—Detroit Free Presa.

+<+<>>- A Candid Opinion.

A Detroit lawyer, the Free Press says, famous for his wise and candid opinions, wus the other day visited by a young attorney, who explained :

“T was admitted to the bar two years ugo, and I think I know something about law, yet the minute I arise to addressa jury I forget all my points :sd can say nothing. Now, I want to ask you if this doesn’t show laek of cor filence ia myself and how can | overcome i. ””

The wise attorney shut his eyes aod studied the ease for a moment before an- swering :

“My young friend if it isa lack of confidence in yourself it will vanish, bat if it is lack of brains you had better sell out your office effects and buy a pick-ax and a long-handled shovel.’’

“But how am to I determine?” anx- iously asked the young man.

“I'd buy the pick-ax anyhow and run my chance !’” whispered the aged adviser, as he moved over to the peg for his over-

The Greatest Medical Discovery sinee 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 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, te 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 effect a cure ; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoronghly 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-

in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures 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 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 your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety or the most delicate — 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 eli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MeLvrx’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.

CATARRE.

Constitutional ~ Gatarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.,

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

‘s

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

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

I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In readingin your Cireular I 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 up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. Wien your agent came to Walkertown in, August, 1876, I secured three bottles.. Before 1 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 eured 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 you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of if yon may see proper.

Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.
