Fun with the Doctor.
BY t. s. ARTHUR.

oh
"Who is it,"
"Doctor Carpus, Miss"
"Oh iddlestIcks on Doctor Carpus!
] wish he would stay at home and mind
his own business"
These brief sentences passed between
Mss Mary Maylower and the servant,
who had made her appearance at Ma
ry's chamber door after admitting q
visitor.
"Carpus is quite a passable fellow.
Jane," Mary's sister remarked, smiling
q little sarcasticalIy.
"You had better 60 down and enter
tain him them"
"No, THANK you, Miss! beg leave
to decline that honor. His attentions
are special, and my pretty sister Mary
is The object of them. i wish you joy,
Mrs. Doctor Carpus."
SNOW that is too bad, sis! declare
| will insult him if you worry me after
that style"
ssNo, don't do that, Mary. No lady
can be excused for w~antonly insulting
a gentleman"
"But what am | 10 do2 He is intol-
cradle to me, and yet persists in coming
here two or three times a week. If he
would only ask for you occasionally
or, ifthe girls were at home? But no.
Miss Mary Mayhower!' is the word,
and | must parade my self down, and
endure his tittle-tatlle for an hour. |
wish I'd sent word down that | was
not at home"
"And SO burdened your conscience
with a lie."
"Exactly! That's the rub"
"No-no, sis. That is not the rem
edy. Say that you are engaged-if you
do not wish to see him."
"I'm not too much engaged to see
company. So that would be as much
allie as the other" onia8gW std HeJy
...Say then, that you cannot be seen.
Base your actions on the truth, and
abide there"
"That's easy enough TO advise; but
not so easy to do"
alt would be easy enough for Mary
Mayfower, if she once set her head
that way. My sister is not, ! believe,
in the habit Of stopping at halfway
measures, or to ask what may be the
result of an action, if she feels much
inclined to do it. So, ! must conclude
that there are some attractions about
Doctor Carpus after ALL"
"Oh, of course! Some wonderfully
strong attractions!r returned Mary,

the room to attend Doctor Carpus be-

pleasure on one side, and a real smile
on the other. Then came,

Harvest Hymn.

La.|H h...|F -.rN. "...rL |
God of the rolling year! to thee g =.
Our songs shall rise-whose bounty pours
In many q goodly gift, with free tI.
And liberal hand our autumn stores!
No f~rstlings Of our fiocks we slay-
No soaring clouds Of incense rise
But on thy hallowed shrine we lay
our grateful hearts 10 sacrifice.
Born Of thy breath, the lap Of Spring i
Was heaped with many a blooming flower;
And smiling Summer joyed to bring,
. The sunshine and the gentle shower;
And Autumn's rich luxuriance now,
The ripening seed-the bursting shell, 81
And golden sheaf: and laden bow, sei
The fullness Of thy bounty tell. -le
No mental throng, in princely dome,
Here wait a titled lords behest,
But many q fair and peaceful home
Hath won thy peaceful dove a guest;
No groves Of palm our fields adorn-
No myrtle shades or orange bowers
But rustling meads of golden corn,
And fields Of waving grain are ours.
Sale in thy care the landscape DER
! Our flocks and herds securely stray;
No tyrant master claims our store
s. No ruthless robber rends away
No fierce volcanoes whitening shower
No full simeon with poisonous breath
Nor burning suns, with baleful power,
Awake the fiery plaques Of death.
And here shall rise our songs to thee,
Where heightened wales and pastures lie.
And streams 60 singing wild and free,
Beneath a blue and smiling sky;
Where meier was reared a mortal throne,
ss Where crowned oppressors never trod,
Here-at the throne of Heaven alone,
Shall man, in reverence, bow to COP.
