The Life of a Country Doctor.

On a cold stormy night Doctor jenkins
was aroused from his slumbers by loud
rap at the door, accompanied by the stir
ring summons-'Doctor, want you to come
right straight away off to Banks His
child is dead Then what do you want
with me?' Hes pizened. They gin him
laudunum, too paragoricky.' How
much did they give himl' 'Do'no-a
great 'eal. Think he won't git over it.
The doctor pushes off through the storm,
meets with divers mishaps on the way, land
at length arrives at the honse of the pois-
oned patient. He finds all closed, not a
light to be seen. He knocks furiously at
the door, and at last night cap appears
at the chamber window, and woman's
voice squeaks out: who's therel' 'The
doctor, to be sure. You sent for him.
'Ob, it's no matter, doctor, Ephraim's bet

him laud mum and he slept kinder sound
but he's woke up now How much did

night The doctor turns away, button
ing up his overcoat under his throat, to
seek bis home again, and tries to whistle

a Teetotal Monkey.

Doctor Guthrie relates the following a.
musing anecdote of domesticated mon
key:-'Jack, as he was called, seeing his
master and some companions drinking,
with those initiative powers for which his
species is remarkable, finding half a glass
Of whiskey left, took it up and drank it
off. 1t few, of course to his head. A
mid their roars of laughter, he began to
skip, hop and dance. Jack was drunk.
Next day, when they went, with the in.
tontion of repeating the fun, to take the
poor monkey from his box, he was not to
be seen. Looking inside, there he lay,
crouching in corner. Come out' said
his master. Afraid to disobey, he came
out, walking on three legs-the fore-paw
that was laid on bis forehead saying, as
plain as words could do, that he had a
headache. Having left him some days
to get well, and resume his gaiety, they
at length carried him off to the scene of
reyel. On entering, he eyed the glasses
with manifest terror, skulking behind the
chair; and on bis master ordering him to
drink, he bolted, and was on the house.
top in twinkling. They called him
down. He would not come. His master
shook the whip at him. Jack, astride
on the ridge-pole, grimmed defiance. A
gun, of which he was always much afraid,
was pointed at this desciple of temper
ance; he duckcd his head, and slipped O.
yer to the back of the house; upon which,
seeing his predicament, and less afraid
apparently of the fire than the fre-water,
the monkey leaped at bound on the
chimney-top, and getting down into aue
held on by his fore-paws. He would
rather be singed than drink. He tri.
umphed, and although his master kept
him for twelve years after that, be never
could persuade the monkey to taste an.
other drop of whiskey.'

The sceptre of empire is not, the scep

would not, if could, persuade those
of the sex who hear me to become the
public, clamorous advocates of even tenn
perance. It is the influence of their de-
claired appreciation; of their open, will
ing, visible example, enforced by that
soft, persuasive, colloquial eloquence,
which in some hallowed retirement, ex-
erts such controlling influence over the
bard heart of man; especially over hus-
bands, sons, or brothers heart; it is
this influence which we need: IN influence,
chiefly known by the gradual kindly
Transformation of characters it produces,
and which, in its benign effects, may be
compared to the noiseless balmly ad-
vances, renovation over every hill, and
dale, and glen, and is let, and changing
throughout the whole region of animated
nature, winters rugged and unsightly
forms, into the forms of vernal loveliness
and beauty.
No, repeat it, I would not, if I could,
persuade those of the sex who hear me,
to become the public, clamorous advocates
of temperance. 1t is yours to WELD the
club of Hercules, or bend the bow of A
chilles. But, though it is not, still you
have heaven approved theatre of action.
The look of tenderness, the eye of COM
passion, the lip of entreaty, are yours,
the omnipotence of fashion. You can,
therefore, speak of those who are the
fayorites of fortune, and who occupy the
high places Of society,-you can change
the terms of social Intercourse, and alter
the current opinions of community. You
can remove, at once and forever, tempta-
ton from the saloon, the drawing room,
and the dining table. This is your en-
pire, the empire which God and the usages
of mankind have given you domain
Here within, these limits, and without
transgressing that modesty which is heav-
ems own gift, and woman's brightest or
nament, you may exert benign and
kindly, but mighty influence.
