proof of interest in the individual, which

THE DOCTORS PRIZE.
BY AN OLD sEXToN.

Twenty-three years ago this past WIN
ter, an incident occurred in NY experience,
which, though not romantic or very re-
markable, is worth relating, on account of
the singular position in which the parties
were placed IN regard to one another
1t is not often that lover shakes hands
with his deceased lady-love after she had
been dead five years but we will not an
ticipate.
Mr.. Mortal" said gentleman one
day, hailIng me in the street.
His countenance was familiar, but
could not call him by name 1t seemed
TO me that | had transacted professional
business with him, but could not recall
the time or the circumstances.
l returned his salutation and looked in
quiringly into his face.
You don't remember me-" he contin-
ucd.
Il do not, sir
My name is BECKER You remem-
Der attending the funeral of Margaret
Donaldson, five years ago!''
| did remember il; for there were cir
cumstances connected with the interment
of the lady which made deep impress
sion on my mind ; and before | permit
Mr.. BECKER to proceed with his business,
| will inform the reader in relation to the
case.
Margaret Donaldson was Scotch girl,
an orphan, whose parents had died in
Glasgow, leaving her property of about
three thousand pounds. She had an aunt
III Boston, to whose care she had been
commended, and shortly after the death
of her mother, she came to this city,
bringing her fortune with her. Within
a year after her arrival. her aunt died,
and she was again alone in the world, so
far as relatives were concerned though
gentleman-Mr. Bieeker-had fallen
in love with her and they were said TO be
engaged.
About a year after the death of her
aunt, Margaret herself died. l remem-
Der hearing DR.. Wimbledon give partic-
ular description of a mal-formation in the
chest of Margaret, at the N>house where
she died, TO another surgeona> cannot
pretend TO describe the case myself He
attended her frst for broken leg, which
she received in a fall on the ice. Before
she had recovered from this accident. her
fatal disease commenced, and she died.
Mr.. Blocker was almost broken-heart-
ed and do no; think, on the whole of
my professional experience, ever saw a
man suffer more poignant grief. He was
!nconsolable. l buried her; but often
the devoted lover might have been seen
IN one of the suburban towns, where he
owned a LOT, and where he had caused
her to oe laid.
Margaret had lef, linn all of her proper
N-6ut l heard the money did not con-
sole hlm Five years after he was still a
single man, ana still lovingly cherished
the memory of her he had loved
Mr.. Mortal continued BECKER, as
we walked along the street, 81 have pur-
chased a lot at Mount Auburn. and pro-
pose to have the remains of Margaret re-
moved there
Mount Auburn was then a new idea
though IT had been in existance some four
years. Mr.. BECKER described his lot,
and desired me to visit 1t next day, with
him, 10 advise HIM in relation to prepar-
ing 1t for the reception of the remains OF
Margaret.

The Mother,

Lo where yon cottage whitens thro the green
The loveliest features of matchless scene;
Beneath its shading elm, with pious fear,
An aged mother draws her children near:
While from the Holy Word, with earnest air,
She teaches them the privilege of prayer.
Look How their il fant eyes With rapture speak
Mark the flushed lily on the dimpled cheek
Their hearts filed with gratitude and love.
Their hopes centre in a world above.
Where, IN choir of angels, faith portrays
The loved, departed father Of their days.

Evening.

The sun bad set, but still his ling ring beam
Dwelt in the cloud, and danced upon the stream
Slept in calm beauty the mountains brow,
And touch d with checker ight the forest bough.
The sun had set-no breeze was heard to sigh
Through the deep azure of the tranquil sky;
No wayward ripple crisp'd the silent rill
But nature smiled in gladness, and was still.
