A Wife’s Christmas.

Ah, how can you speak so cross, Charlie ? It isn’t kind nor right ;

You wouldn't have talked & year ago As you have done to-night.

You wonder to see me ait and cry, Like a baby vexed, you say,

When you didn’t know I wanted a gift, Nor think aboat the day!

But I’m not like a baby, Charlie,

~ Crying for something fine ;

Only a loving woman, pained, Could shed such tears as mine.

For every Chrietmas time till now— And this is why I grieve—

It was you that wanted to give, Charlie, More than I to receive.

And I wouldn’t have cared to-night, Charlie, How poor the gift, or small,

Lf you had only brought me something to show That you thought of me at ail.

The merest trifle of any kind, That I could keep or wear ; A flimsy bitof lace for my neck,

Or a ribbon for my hair.

A pretty story of lovers true, Or a book of pleasant rhyme,

A flower, or holly-branch to mark The blessed Christmas time.

But to be torgotten, Charley ! Tis that that brings the tear ; And just to think that I have been Your wife but a single year.

THE OBSTRUCTED TRACK.

( Concluded.)

Once she said to him, as he paused for breath before attackiag the ties which he had driven into the cattleguard :

‘I never thought this of you, Morgan Duke. When I rejected you, I thought you would beat it like a man.’

He replied not but glanced at his watch.

‘Half-past twelve !’ he said.

‘To work!’ was the stern command, and Viola stepped forward and brought the revoiver nearer his head.

He tugged at the ties with great strength, and large drops of prespiration stood out on his forehead.

‘J ean't move them,’ he said at last, turning upon Viola.

‘You must!’ was the reply.

‘I drove them in with the sledge.’

‘[ did not hear the sound.’

‘Tt was deadened with my coat.’

The girl’s face grew paler than ever and she glanced feartully up the cut.

‘Take them out!’ she said, suddenly ;

the train is coming! I hear it!’

The villianous station master heard t he rumbling and again turned to the ties.’

‘You have your choice!’ Viola said

o him. ‘A bullet or an unobstructed track.’

She watched him watched man before. She knew that he was doing all that could be done to undo his wicked work, and while she watched, her heart grew still beneath the rumbling of the express.

‘He'll soon eall me,’ she said to her- self. ‘There! there!’

The familiar shrieks cleft the cool Oc- tober air, but they brought no joy to her heart. She was not at the old window beside the light he loved to hail from his engine. Perhaps she would be the first to kiss his cold brow beneath the stars in Gwynne’s Cut. She almost shouted for joy when she saw the first tie drawn from the guard by the desperate man.

‘Quick! the sledge! break the

rd!’ she cried.

» Gods! I never thought of that!’ he said, and the next moment he was shat- tering the long guard with a heavy sledge.

"At last the tie was broken, and he tbrust the other ties down into the long opening he had made.

At that moment the train, rounding the curve, darted into the cut, and the flashing head-light, not twenty feet away almost blinded the eyes of the twain.

Morgan Duke stepped from the track and threw himself upon the heap of ties utterly exhausted. He saw triumph in the girl’seyes, and watched her as the train came on.

QO! for strength to hurl her upon the track, and beneath the wheels of the |

thundering tran! Her revolver had ceased to cover him, but he could not have lifted even a child.

The train dashed by. Violu saw her lover’s face for a moment, and an ex- clamation of thankfulness swelled from her heart. He was safe, and the precious lives that he carried westward had es eaped Morgan Duke’s machinations.

‘You’re u« worker, Morgan Duke,’ she said to him, smiling. ‘We will separate here.’

He looked at her a moment in silence.

‘Are you going to tell ?’ he asked.

‘Such men as you are danzerous,’ she replied.

‘Then you are going to expose me?’

‘T am.’

He did not reply.

They parted forever there. Morgan Duke'was never caught by the officers ot the law ; but justice afterwards overtook

him. The iron wheels of a railway train {

crushed him on the track.

company presented Viola with a eee house, wheo her husband took charge of the car-shops. I knowshe will never regret her night in Gwynne's Cut with her rejeeted lover. .

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 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’8S 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 & hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and ae to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always beem more or less used as a medical ageni for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- oie a porous plaster have been discovered.

, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum Porous PLAsTsers, and their superiority over all oe penerens, they now actually prescribe

|

them, fr practice, for such diseases as rheumatiem, in the sido and back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters

or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and mts, and they have failed, and wanta oure, ask your druggist for MELVIN'’s QCAPsicuUM Porous PLASTER. You ean hardly believe your own convictions of its ul effects. Although powerful and 4 lek in its action, you can rely on its safety ‘or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from ljead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient antye of its merits, and one plaster will sell hun to your friends.

your druggist for Dr. Metvix's CAPsI- cuM Porous STER, 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.
