Bed-Ghambers: Their unustially small size, and lows eiling, render them very insalubrious ; and the case is rendered worse by close windows and thick cur- tains and hangings, with which the beds are often so carefully surrounded as to prevent the possibility of the air being renewed. The consequence 1s, that we are breathing vitiated air dur- ing more than half of the night ; that is. during more than a third part of our lives: and thus the period of repose, which is necessary for the renovation of our mental and bodily vigor, become a source of disease. Sleep, under such circumstances, is very often disturbed, and always much less refreshing than when enjoyed in & well-veatila ed apartment; it often tN indeed, that such repose, instead of being fol- lowed by ronovated strength and activ- ity, is succeeded by a degree of heavi- ness and languor which is not over- come till the person has been some time in a purer air. Nor is this the only evil arising from sleeping in ill- ventilated apartments. When it 1s known that the blood undergoes most important changes in its circulation through the lungs by means of the air which we breathe, and that these vital changes ean only be effected by the respiration of pure air, it will be easily andasened how the healthy functions of the lungs must be impeded by in- haling, for many successive hours, the vitiated air of our bed-reoms, nurser- ies, schools, kc. Let a mother, who has been made anxious by the sickly looks of her children, go from pure air into their bedroom in the morning, be- fore a door or window has been opened, and mark the state of the atmosphere, the close, oppressive, and often feoted odor of the room, and she may cease to; wonder at the pale, sickly aspect of her ehildren. Let her pay a similar visit some time after means have been taken, by the chimney ventilators or otherwise, to secure a full supply, and continual renewal, of the air in the bedrooms during the night, and she will be able to account for the more healthy appearance of her children, which is sure to be the consequence of supplying them with pure air to breathe.

A Blessed Plant.

A growing flower was given to a sick girl. In trying to take care of it the family made changes in their way of living. First they cleaned a win- dow, that more light might come to its leaves; then they would open the window, that fresh air might help the plant to grow. Next the clean window made the rest of the room look so un- tidy that they used to wash the floors and walls, and arranges the furniture more neatly. This led the father of the family to mend a broken chair or two, which kept him at home several evenings. After the work was done he stayed at home, instead of spending his leisure hour at the tavern, and the money thus saved went to buy comforts for them all. As the home grew at- tractive, the whole family loved it bet- ter than ever before, and grew healthier and happier with their flowers. Thus the little plant brought a blessing.

Che racter.

The differences of character are never more distinctly seen than in times when men are surrounded by difficulties and misfortunes. There are some who, when disappointed by the failure of an undertaking from which they had ex- pected great things, make up their rainds at once to exert themselves no longer against what they call fate, as if thereby they could avenge themselves against fate; others grow desponding and hopeless; but a third class of men will rouse themselves just at such mo ments, and say to themselves, “The more difficu!t it is to attain my ends, the more honorable it will be;” and this is a maxim every one should im- press upon himself as a law. Some of those who are guided by it prosecute their plans with obstinacy, and so per- ish; others, who are more practical men, if they have failed in one way, will try another.

Get Marriep.—Although bachelors have (Crabb Robinson, for example, who lived to be 94) often attained a great age, statistics go to prove con- clusively that, so far as men between 25 and 30 are concerned, the married state is more conducive to longevity. In France the mortality per 1,000 is 6.2 in married men between 25 and 30, and 10.2 in bachelors of the same age. Belgium and Holland show similar statistics.

We are more in danger from seduc- tions of our hearts than from any out- ward assaults. Through self-love and

ride the enemy enters, and by his

ttery lulls the stern voice of con- science that speaks audibly to the listening ear.

(CAPSICUM)

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 giobe 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 acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant 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 as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- nos in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by DR. MELvIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTsRS, 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

ou want a eertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. 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 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 one plaster will seli hundreds to f mn friends.

k your druggist for Dr. MELVIx’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, te avy address in the United States or Canadas.
