Physician IN curing pretty roman uaS re-
paid.-A young woman residing in Rue dc Bre-
ia, in Paris had occasion, some time ago, to send
for a Doctor on finding herself somewhat scri-
ouslv indlsposed The Doctor at the moment
had not many patients on his list. lie had kill
ed off the most Troublesome of them, the even
ing before nevertheless, just to keep up appear
anccs, he took his time in presenting himself to
his new victim.
She awaited him, the picture of resignation.
Her pretty head, heavy with fever, was buried
deeply in pile Of pillows neatly trimmed with
lace Her lip was Parched-hcr check flushed.
The Doctor came, saw and pjtied, and vowed
that he would restore her, as soon as might be,
TO the eegancies and enjoyments of life in Paris;
and by way of keeping his vow, threw science
overheard, for the noncc.
In less than fortnight thanks to Natures aid
and the Faculty abstinence, the fair patient was
about again. She received the Doctor in her
houdor, and advancing to meet him Immediately
that he was announced, exclaimed "You have
saved me, Doctor; many thanks, and for your
trouble you may KISS me-on the forehead -
and, with these words, She manGuvrcd 50 mod
csty and so co1uettishIy that the verify Doc
tors kiss acaS los! in air
"That's a sort of fee on which shan't get
rich" said the Doctor to himself, with smile,
as he returned home. but never mind I've
done good deed; I've cured very pretty wo-
man, and that makes some amends"
Some time afterwards, when his GOOD deed
and hia charming patient had alike slipped from
his memory, he received a call from a3lng
mum, stranger to him, but of distinguished flo
nre and genticmanly manners. "Sr," said the
young man, "you were good enough TO attend
and cure i X 4 of the Rue DC Breda. have
called to pay the pccun,ary debt incurred, and
on her behalf to renew her most grateful ac-
kn~wledgment." SO saying, he gracefully took
leave, depositipg on the Doctors manel-pcce
a roulcau of hundred FIVE franc pieces.
"Assurcdly," said the Doctor, 'virtue never
loses It's reward though have not hitherto had
much faith in the proverb."
The next day gentleman, bald but wearing
several Orders, presented himselfin turn. Sir
said he to the Doctor, Il am under the deepest
obligations to Won for the care which You 50
kindly took Of Madame Il X X of :hc Rue
de Brcda here are fifteen louis which she owes
YOU" He bowed and took leave
"Thc duce is in it, thought the Doctor, ''this
is very embarrassing. If tell him that have
been paid already, shall perhaps commit very
serious lndlscrelion. 1t will never do to trouble
the peace of mind Of this worthy gentleman. "
On the third day an EpgliShm7n, not long ar
rived insisted on instant admission. "Ny dear
Doctor" said he, shaking him violently by the
hand, and speaking in his dr0l insular patois, II
am very much obliged to you for having restored
to me Madame 4 X X in Breba street;
have brought you fifteen guiueas." And he al
so took leave.
Upon my word" said the honest Doctor
''thia beats everything. But can't keep all this
money; I'll 60 and have a settlement with my
pretty patient"
lie went accordingly, and told her gailv, and
in due order of date, ali that had happened -
"You know, Madamc,' added he, "a Doctor is
bound to keep secrets like Coulcssor, which is
the reason why thought it nexpedient to enter
into explanation with these gentlemen. Bat
have come to restore yoa what belongs to
Won"
The young dame looked surprised and blush
ed, and then answered in her softest and most in
sinuajing tone Good heavens, Doctor scarce
ly know what you mean; bat assure You that
You will seriously aiI'ront me you insist. Have
yon not amongst your patients some poor soul
in need Of help? They will be very grateful to
find that You have been their treasurer. Go,
then. Doctor: cure them you cured me, and
for this once you may give me kss-upon the
cheek"
You may say that this money took a rounda-
bout way OF reaching lis Charitable destination.
But notwithstanding abuse Of all sorts is so law
ishly bestowed on money, the great affair in this
world is to draw it ont Of its hiding places and
put il III circulation. Courier DIS Etdts inns.
