"WELL, MY SON,"
said a father to his ten-year-old boy. " what have you done to-day that may be considered a good deed ?" " I gave a boy sixpence," replied the young hopeful. "Well, and what did you givo him sixpence for ? Was ho an orphan, and poor and hungry, or what was it ?" " I did not ask him," replied the boy: "I gave him sixpence for thrashing another boy who upset my dinner-basket, and 1 think, from the appearance which the latter presented after the boy to whom I gave the sixpence had finished with him, that tho sixpence was well earned." From the latest advices it tt'aH learned that the boy who received the thrashing was taken to the neatest chemist's shop, and there thoroughly rubbed with St. Jacobs oil by the wise chemist, who knew that "St. Jacobs oil conquers pain." The boy has been reado well, bub takes good care not to interfere with the dinnei'-baskets of other boys. St. Jacobs oil is used by ali classes of people tor general aches and pain?. It conquer? pain. It penetrates to cho seat of the disease. There is no remedy Hk6 it. St. Jacobs oil is peculiar to itself. It is mado from drugii which no other remedies are made from. They are gathered from Iho four quarters of tho globe, and are made after the mosb scientific principles, St. Jacobs oil is an outward application. Its cost is trilling, but to the suMerer a bottle of it ia worth its weight in gold.
