PETTY WORRIES.
Tub heaviest strokes of misfortune are borue by Boaae men without winciDj? ; Ihey have nervo enough at least to bide 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. Tbe giant in nerve, who can bear sickness, pain, sorrow, suffering, and poverty without any visible si^n of distress, will break down sooner or later under a succession of pett> annoyances — tbe mosquito bites of life — which he can neither guard agoinßt oor avenge. There is no cure for some of them, but for manj, there .is an alleviator easily obtainable, cheap and certain. St. Jacob's Oil is the recognised conqueror 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.
