PETTY WORRIES.
The heaviest strokes of misfortune are borne by socne men without wincing ; they have nerve enough at least to hide their troubles from the public gaze and bear a brave front to thb outside world, no matter how great their actual buffering may be. But the petty worries of life are ones whioh 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 he can neither guard against nor avenge. There is no cure for eotne of them, but for many there is an alleviator easily obtainable, cheap and certain. St. Jacob's Oil is tho recognised conquerer of pain, and without a Bound body it is astonishing bow trival all other afflictions seems, and with what comparative ease they are shaken off. The man who can illustrate the old proverb by bearing the sufferings of hiß neighbors with foititude, may bear his own equally as well by the aid of this wonderful remedy.
