his cheerful hreside, aud the pratlllng Of
his curly headed boy, which awaited him
at home.
As he drew near his residence, he saw,

years whose scanty. ragged apparel was
but poorly calculated to protect him from
the buter blasts Of the pttiless autumn
storm. Accosl,ng him kindly. the be-

was travelling. Starring as from deep
sleep. the stranger muttered few inco-

the experienced physician tina, he was
insane. He conveyed him home to his
warm fireside, where he examined him
more closely. The stranger was tall,
spare old man, whose long hair and beard
were as white as the snow. Sorrow, per.
haps remorse, had printed many deep

taken OF some refreshments the aged
wanderer retired to rest.
During the night the physician was
aroused by heavy groans proceeding from
the chamber OF the guest. Upon repair.
