He looked with sad smile and replied
81 am almost out Of heart, Mary. think of
all pursuits, physicians profession is the
worst. Here | have been, week after week,
and month after month waiting practice
and without success. A lawyer may volun-
teer ia q celebrated case, and so make him

ly in his Office, and if unknown, see men
without hHlf his requirements, rolling in
wealth, while he, perhaps, is starving. AUd

talents and knowledge TO make your way as
soon as you get start. And depend upon
it," she added with cheerful Look, "thai

$50 yon have told me often, but the lucky
hour has never come," said her husband de-
despondingly, "and now every cent Of my &

Earnest was in mood which the most SAN
guine sometimes experience, when disappoinl-

spirit, and the voice Of hope is no longer heard
within. Ills wife wonld have given way To
tears, il she had been alone; but she felt the
necessity Of sustaining him and answered

The husband felt rebuked as she thus
spoke, aud ans~efed despondingiy:--

with strides.
His wife sighed and remained silent.
But after moment or two she arose,
went up to him, and fond!y encircling him
with her aims said.
"Dear Earnest, you must not worry your

AS if her words had been prophetic, the
little girl theu only servant, appeared a, iht
crisis, aud said the doctor was wanted in :

Il was almost the first summons the y0uae
physician had received, though he bud rest
