The present |King of Dahomey, who was educated in Paris, speaks French fluently. His anxiety to defeat the French in Africa is said to be due to an unfortunate lore affair which ha had in Paris. He has become a barbarian because ho could not marry the woman he loved. PETTY WORRIES. The heaviest strokes of misfortune are borne by some men without wincing ; they have nerve enough at least to hide their troubles from the public gaze and bear a brave front to the outside world, no matter how great their actual suffering may be. But the petty worries of life are ones which try even the strongest natures, and break down the most determined wills. The giant in nerve, who can bear sickness, pain, sorrow, suffering, and poverty without any visible sign of distress, will break down sooner or later under a succession of petty annoyances —the mosquito bites of life —which ho can neither guard against nor avenge. There is no cure for some of them, but for many there is an alleviator easily obtainable, cheap and certain. St. Jacob’s Oil is the recognised conqueror of pain, and with a sound body it is astonishing how trivial all other afflictions seem, and with what comparative ease they are shaken off. Tne man who can illustrate the old proverb by bearing the sufferings of his neighbours with fortitude, may bear his own equally well by the aid of this wonderful remedy.
