PETTY WORRIES.
The heaviest strokes oE misfortune are
borne by Bocae men without wincing ; they have nerve enough at least to hide their troubles from the publio gaze and bear a brave front to tb.6 outside world, ho matter how great their actual buffering 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 he 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 oonquerer of pain, and without a sound body it ie astonishing 1 bow trival all other afflictions seemß, 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.
