THE DOCTORS STORY.

While some American officers were recent
ly seated at the festive board, some scenes
during the Mexican campaign came under
discussion. And many were the deeds of
daring then and there recounted. AS the
hours advanced, DR.. W. P. Reyburn was
hard pressed to relate the story of The
CHARGE AT SAN JUAN" of which he was
the hero. After much affected modesty, de-
prccating the propriety of a military man
being the hero of his own story, the Doctor
proceeded to state that he accompanied Col.
Sewer and Mr.. Clifford to the city Of Quere-
taro, for the purpose of making the treaty
of peace, having previously made requisi-
tion for medicines for the use and benefit of
the military escort. The first days march
was not accompanied with any striking incl
dent, and when the train halted all was right
except the Doctors horse, who had loss a
shoe, and began to grow restive, and limp
slightly. During the evening the blacksmith
was sent for, and an order given him to re-
shoe the animal, but when the bugle sounded
the advance nex5 morning the horse was still
without his full complement Of iron under
pinnings.
Here was q fix. It would not do to make
the animal carry two hundred and fifty pounds
without shoes, and the smith prevailed upon
the yledic0 to get horse from the Quar-
ter master, for the present, while he at
tended to the lame one. The Quarter. mas
ter was called, and his stable overhauled,
and the result was the Doctor was mounted
upon a seventeen hand Dragon horse, an old
soldier, who know every call Of the trumpet
as we'll as any officer in the party. He had
military trot of his own, tDo, that was not
remarkable easy for his rather weighty rider;
and. as the sequel will show, was pretty good
at faster pace. But let the DOcter tell the
story himself, as reported in the Spirit Of the
Times;

bridled, my equipment put on, and the stir

bly high, you see. A squad of eight men

LIGHT READING.

A correspondent relates an anecdote of
an old maid, who is said to reside in Dorset, Vt.
This maiden lady arrived at the age of A years.
Previous to that she had used all diligence to
get husband, but without success. Finding
that she was doomed to life of single blessed
ness, Aunt Molly thought it due to her own dig
nifty to give some reason for her condition, and
resolved to say that the reason why she was not
married as most of her sex, was because she ha-
ted all small bipeds-positively abominated the
whole lot, stock and barrel, of them. Shortly
after this resolve, new minister came into the
neighborhood, and as is usual on such occasions,
paid sort of spiritual visit to all the faithful,
among whose number it appears Aunt Molly was
ir4luded The parson took seat beside her and
began the usual routine of queries which persons
of his cloth usually make on coming into new
field of labor. Among the rest, he inquired II
she loved God The good lady elevated her
spectacles, and gave the parson q look that
frightened him out one-half the ideas for his
next sermon, as she answered, " Sir, if he is a
woman, love him but if he is a man, perfectly
hate the old cr1tterl'' The parson made no reply,
but bolted for the door, as she replaced her spec
tacles on her nose and made the knitting needles
move a little faster than usual.
