PETTY WORRIES.
The heaviest strokes of misfortune are borne by sooie men without wincing ; they have nerve enough at least to hide their troubles from the public gaze and bear a brave front to thfa outside world, no matter how great their actual bufEering 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 si^n of distress, will break down Booner or later under a succession of petty annoyances — the mosquito bites of fife — which he can neither guard against nor avenge. There is no cure for soaae of them, but for many there is an alleviator easily obtainable, cheap and certain. St. Jacob's Oil is the recognised conquerer of pain, and without a stund body it is astonishing bow trival all other iiffliclions veetns, and with what comparative ease they are shaken off. The man who can illustrate the old proverb by bearing the Bufferings of his neighbors with foititude, may bear his own equally as well by the aid of this wonderful remedy.
