"Why, friend s." says the Doctor. says
he, ''the best thing you can do is to 60
straight home soak your feet and take a
sweat; cause if you don't" says he, "as
like as not you may have fever"
Says {. '.Doctor, was just thinkin' a
little sweat would do me good, and I guess
I'll go home and try it, right away"
Well. I did; I went home and took a
bow1full of tansey tea, bitter as gall, and
if didn't sweat like beaver faint no
matter. The next morning my head was
as clear as bell, and I was as good as
ever was. Well, a day or two afterward
l met the Doctor; after little talking,
says the Doctor, says he:
"Neighbor, S., I've got a little bin agin
you"
looked at him cl,i, and says I,
ga bill, Doctor %
Eyes" says he, ga bill for advice, you
know, at Simkin's store the other day."
What do you think he had gone and
done7 He'd actually charged me two
dollars for telling me to go home and take
a sweat, which was just going to do my
self, withou, his telling.
"Well, Doctor" says 1, for I didn't want
to appear mean you know "it's all right;
will bear it III mind"
Well, few days after the Doctor was
passing by my door in his chaise, and
somehow or other one of the wheels got a
little loose, so saysI:
"Doctor, if you don't drive that linch-pin
an inch or SO that wheel will come off"
"Thank you," says he, and he took a
stun and driv in the pin.
Well, went into the house. and just
made charge of it, and when he came
along the next time, l presented him the
bill.
"Hello!" says the Doctor, says he
"what on airth is this for 2''
"Why, it's for advice" says I.
"Advicer' says he. "What advice q
I haint had none O you advice
"Why. for driving in your wheel-pin
and I've only charged you two dollars and
twenty-five cents, and if I hadn't given you
the advice, it might have cost you ten times
as much"
"Well,' says the Doctor, s'the differ
ence between your bill and mine is just
twenty-five cents"
"That is all you owe me" says I.
"Well. I'll bear it in mind" says he.
And expect he will. He's as tight as
a candle-mould, is the Doctor; and / guess
he is able to bear it in mind.

Pretty Women and Politeness.

A talented lady who "writes for the pa
pers." speaks thus of city railway cars -
'.The seats of the car were all occupied
F-crowted. yet the conductor waited for
me. Not wishing to disturb those who
were seated, was intending to stand, but
gentleman up at the far end arose and
insisted upon my taking his seat. Being
very tired, / thanked him and obeyed.-
Presently lady, much younger, much
prettier, and much better dressed than my
self, entered the the car. No less than
four gentlemen arose instantly. offering
her seat. She smiled sweetly and unaf-
fectedly, and thanking the gentleman
who urged the nearest seat TO her.
she seated herself with peculiar grace of
manner, she had one those faces Raphael
was always painting touchingly sweet
and expressive. A little after this young
beatty had taken her seat. poor woman,
looking very thin and pale, with that care
worn hagard look that poverty and sorrow.
and hard labor always give, came in
She might have been one of those poor
seamstresses who work like slaves and
starve for labor. She was thinly and mean
ly clad, and seemed weak and exhausted.
She had evidently no sixpence to throw
away, and came into tho car not to stand,
but to rest while she was helped on her
journey. While she was meekly stand
ing for the moment, none of the gentlemen
offering to rise Raphaers angel, with sweet
reproving eyes looked ON those who had so
of1iciously offered her seat, seeing none
of them to move, and just as myself was
rising to give the poor old lady seat, she
arose and insisted upon the woman taking
her seat. 1t was all the work of but mo-
ment aud the took of grateful surprise the
old woman gave her, and the evident con-
sternation of the broad-cloth individuals,
who were manifestly put to shame-all
were to me irresistably interesting and in
structive. One of the same broad-cloth
wearers. apparently overcome with con-
fusion, got up and left the car, and Raph-
ael's angel took his vacant seat
Well done, Raphael's angel!

Sitting in the corner,
On a Sunday eve,
With taper finger
Resting on your sleeve;
Starlight eyes are casting
On your face their light;
Bless me! this is pleasant
Sparkling Sunday night!
How vour heart is humping,
'Gainst your Sunday vest
How wickedly 'tis working,
On this dav of rest;
Hours seem but minutes.
As they take their flight:
Bless me! AMT it pleasant
Sparkling Sunday night?

On their peaceful bed,
Dreaming Of the things

"Love We one another!n

Bless me! DON'T we do it.

One arm with gentle pressure
Lingers round her waist.
You squeeze her dimpied hand.
Her pouting lips you taste
She freely slaps your face,
But more in love than spite.
Oh! thunder !-ain't it pleasant,
Sparkling Sunday night?
But harki the clock is striking
1t is two O'Clock snum!
As sure as Pm sinner,
The time to go has COME;
You ask with spitefut accents,
If "that old clock is right,
And wonder If it ever

One, two. three, sweet kisses,
Four, five, six. you hook
But thinking that You rob her,
Give back those you took
Then as home you hurry.

Don't You wish EACH DAY was
Only Sunday night?
