rannical. have an antipalhy to my breth-
rem Of the law; and must both justify my
own authority and satisfy my spleen against
them, by thus sweeping away all their musy
Ggments; and am bound to maintain, that
all the skins aud pnrchmeHts that ever were
engrossed, are worthless, compared with a
single drop Of my elixirs.'
And SO saying, the doctor swept away the
whole mass Of papers, with an air between
playfulness and authority; and Esther, gath-
ering them up, said, with something between

naughty mother: Il mean that services so

initiating, to reflect that services, worthy of
an angels ministerlng, must yet be repaid
with silver and gold; but our doctor caught
a depreciating glance from Esther's eyes,
and the shade passed away from bis own
brow.

He found him out of bed, dressed, with his
hat and stick, apparently intending 10 go out.
Il have a right TO do what like, replied
the man, sullenly.
That. indeed, you have not, when you like
to do what is foolish and imprudent.'
Il did not send for you,' retorted the way

Three months; and soy that, after such
confinement, it would be a very hard case,
