and the head, to which these belonged, pillowed
on lace and arched over with curtains of satin.
His heart was touched with remorse for his
delay, and in the fit Of contrition he resolved to
give her as little medicine as possible. Of
course she was well in few days, and the
Doctor called to pay his last visit and receive
the fee--due to nature and his abstanngs
The lady received him in her boudoir and,
advanced to meet him with the greatest cord
iality, she said "You have saved nv life!
For your trouble--kiss me on the foreheadp'
lie needed the fee in another coinage, but his
gallantry was prompt. He retired with his pay
in his memory, consoling himself with the
thought that he had at least deserved honors
from the Court of Cupid
Not long after, young gentleman, of genteel
address, called upon the Doctor.
Sir said he, "you attended Madame--,
in the Rue de Breda. | call to pay your bill,
and to express, for her, the gratitude she feels
Tor your care and skill" So saying he made

upon the mantle.piece.
Decidedly, thought The Doctor, virture is not
merely "its own reward" 1t "pays," besides.
The next morning, another gentleman called

of honor in his button hole, and expressing
himself exceedingly grateful for the care the
Doctor had taken of the lady in the Rue de

On the point Of informing this gentleman
that he had beed already paid, the Doctor had
checked HIMSELF remembering how possible it

Two days after, an Englishman called on the
Doctor, and, expressing his gratitude for the
cure of the lady in Breda street, handed fifteen
guineas to the supposed unpaid, and bowed
himself out

The lady looked embarrassed, though evident
ly not dispeased TO know that her telling Of
the story OF paying the Doctor with kiss, had
appealed with eqneal force, to the generosity
and justice Of her three admirers. Recovering
her self-possession, however, she insisted ON the
