PETTY WORRIES.
Tub hoavießt strokes of misfortune are borne by some men without wincing ; th y have nerve enough at least to hide thoir troubles from the publio gazo and bear a brave front to thb outside world, no matter how groat their aotual buffering may be. But the petty worries of life are ones whioh try even tbe strongest natures, and break down the most determined wills. The giant in nerve, who can bear Bickness, pain, sorrow, suffering, and poverty without any visible sign of distress, will break down sooner or later under a succession of petty annoyanoes — the mosquito bites of life — which he can neither guard against nor avenge. There is no cure for some of them, but for many there is an alleviator easily obtainable, oheap and certain. St. Jacob's Oil ie tho recognised conquerer of pain, and without a sound body it is astonishing how 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 his neighbors with foititude, may bear his own equally as well by the aid of this wonderful remedy.
