POLLY PEMBROKE'S BABY. (Concluded. } But the trains came and went, and

still no one appeared to claim the baby. Miss Jones grew desperate.

‘Polly Pembroke,’ said she, ‘I ve no patience with you for getting us What do you suppose

into this scrape. is to be the end of it all?

Polly rose up quietly.

‘Tam going to take the child with us,’ said Polly.

‘Polly !

‘Tam!’ reiterated the girl. ‘Poor little helpless innocent! what else can we do?’

‘Let it be sent to the house of refuge or to the poorhouse, or some such place! acreamed Miss Jones.

‘With those eyes ?’ said Polly, look- ing down into the tender, pleading orbs. ‘Never ! It will be all right, Iam quite eure, Miss Jones. All this is only a mis- take. Stewardess,’ to the suspicious quadroon, who had taken care to keep ata safe distance all the while, ‘ here is my address, Give it to the gentle man when he comes back. .

‘ Yes,’ said the woman, pursing up her lips. ‘ But it’s my private ‘pinion as nobody won't see hide nor hair of him again.’

So Polly Pembroke brought home not only a blue silk dress, but a dark- eyed baby into the bargain.

‘Child, said Deacen Pembroke, ‘I can’t blame you for doing a charitable action, but Lam afraid you've taken 2 terrible charge upon yourself.’

‘ Don’t fret, father—don't fret!’ said Mrs. Pembroke, who was a cheery little bedy, with an invincible habit of look- ing on the sunny side of everything. ‘It seems a nice, healthy child enough, and I dare say it will soon be called for. Besides, don’t the good book say that ‘Whosoever gives one of the Lord’s little ones even a cup of cold water in flis name, shall not be without a re- ward.’ ’

And so the days passed by, and the weeks ; and even Polly Pembroke, the most trusting of mortals, began to think that she had been the victim ofa conspiracy, and that she was destined to bear the whole responsibility of this little nameless life.

‘ Mother,’ said she, wistfully, ‘1 may keep her, mayn’t I, if I'll give up go- ing to see cousin Sue in Boston, and not ask father fora new cloak this winter ? And we'll take summer board- ers next season, and I’]l raise poultry, and she shall be no expense to you, mother, indeed !’ .

‘Well, well, child,’ said Mrs. Pemi- broke, with « moisture in her eyes/ ‘have your own way.’

‘ You'd a deal better send it to one of the public institutions,’ said Miss Jones, severeiy.

‘Our little Rosebud?’ said Polly, showering soft kisses on its velvet cheeks. ‘ Oh, never, never, Miss Jones!’

‘You was a big fool to begin to with, and I don’t see but what you mean to

home

be a fool all the way through,’ said Miss ,

Jones !

She had come to bring Miss Pem- broke’s full hat home—a venerable Leg- horn, trimmed with drab satin bows— and when she was going Polly happed- ed to pick up the New York daily paper hich had been wrapped around it.

‘Morther,’ cried she, springing breathlessly to her feet, ‘just listen to this advertisement.’

‘If the young lady who took charge of an infant in the depoton the afternoon of Saturday, July 30, 1875, will send her address to Messrs. Kobel & Ledger, No — Broadway, she will confer an inestimable favor!’

‘Mother!’ said Polly, ‘what does itamean ?”

“ft-means you,’ said Mrs. Pembroke.

‘Shall I answer it ?’ said Polly.

‘Of course,’ said Mrs. Pembroke.

‘But suppose they want to take Rose- bud away from me?’ faltered Poliy.

‘My dear, we must accept our fate as Providence metes it out to us,’ said the old lady.

So Polly wrote her little note, and by the next train the tall gentleman with

the Spanish eyes arrived at Whip-Poor-

Will Glen.

‘Do you think me a_ heartless wretch ?’ he said to Polly, with his voice choked withemotion ‘But I am not. When [went out of the depot that day, my footslipped while crossing the street, and I fell under a horse’s teet.

‘Polly,’ said he, one day, ‘Jsaura 18 ‘happier with you than anywhere else. | ‘Is she ?’ said Polly.

For by this time they had become great friends, and she had lost her awe of the stately gentleman, :

| ‘P’rhaps if I'd tai baby home land male a fuss over it, the rich gen- ltleman would have married me !’ said Miss Jones, when she was cutting the white silk for the wedding dress. ‘ I thought Polly Pembroke was a fool then, but I’ve seen cause to change my mind since.’

John McPhee,

Administrator. Charlottetown, Feb. 4, 1879.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commeucement of the Christian Era.

Thero never has been a time when the heal- {ng 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 ‘nstant one 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 been more or less used asm 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.

however, convin the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Mertvryn’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 eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain 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 quik in its action, you can rely om its safet or the most delicate een to wear, as it free from lead and other poisonous materia. commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee ef its merits, and one plaster will s4li hundreds to your friends. ~.-

Ask your druggist for Dr. Metvrn’s CApst- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, en receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to auy address in the United States or Canadas.

CATARRE.

Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.,

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

T. J. B. Wanrpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont,:— Deak Str—It is now two years since your ‘“‘Censtitutional 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 effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.” I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular 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 1 L would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles, Before I had used a quarter o the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used tw6 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 you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper, Yours truly,

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