A CHURCHYARD ADVENTURE.
NANJEMOY.
BY PERCY GARNETT.

I was born among the green hills Of Yer
mont My father was respectable farmer,
and fully intended that should be brought
up to follow the plough. But [ had a ss9l
above corn and potatoes, and determined |
would adopt some other means of obtaining
a livelihood than the healthy but uni1telIec-
tual occupation of farming.
A simple incident soon decided in the
choice of my profession. I had a favoritc
dog which exhibited unmistakable symp-
toms of hydrophobia. [ had him tied up
and muzzled, but could not bear to have
him killed. looked into my fathers IL

gain information what to do in the case
The only medical book we possessed was Bu-
chanan's Domestic Medicine" I thought
what was good for human beings would also
be good for dogs, and eagerly turned it over
to the article on hydrophobi;s. l read it
and became facinated. Eureka [ had
found it! Of course my dog died, but was
consoled for its loss in the treasure [ had
discovered. [ perused, reperused, and al
most committed to memory the whole of
that work. [ soon became perfectly at
home in the symptoms, diagnosis, progno-
sis, regimen and treatment of all diseases

oretically. However my determination was
now taken, [ would be doctor and nothing
else.
My father endeavored to reason me out Of
the notion. He painted to me in vivid col
ors all the hardships, discomforts and trials
Of a physicians life. But it was all to no
purpose. 1t only served to make me more
determined. My father, seeing all further
Opposition was useless, at last gave his con-

Colburn, of Burlington, to read in his Of

DR.. Colburn was an Englishman, who,
however, had passed the greater part Of his
life in America. He had gathered togeth-
Ier large practice and was very much liked
by every one who knew him. He had a
fine library Of books, and amongst them a
large quantity of old English novels of the
Minerva press school, written in that pecu-
liar style so common to all works of imagi-
nation which deluged the country before Sir
Walter Scott introduced new era in novel
writing:

of murdered brides, and black bearded vii

convinced me there was no visible spirit at

the mystery was explained to me in a mo-
mcnt. When I had thrust my penknife
into the grave, I had also passed it through
the lapel Of my coat! The mocking laugh
ter I had heard was also explained by half
broken branch hanging from a tree in the
vicinity. The wind every now and then
caught it in such a manner that it creaked
and grated against the trunk Of the tree.

touches her fingers to his arm, and they
walk home about foot apart, feeling as
awkward as a couple Of goslings. As soon

CONCLUDING REFLECTIONS.
We have passed over churning aud learn
ing the catechisn, because we are fearful OF
making this article too long, although We
might have talked of butter that would not
be pursuaded to come, and perplezities Of a
literary turn Of mind and a head that mea-
sured seven and a quarter when asked what
the chief end Of man was-Boyhood is a
green passage in mans experience in more
senses than one. It is pleasant thing to
think over and laugh about now, though it
was serious enough then. Men Of our pre-
sent trials are as ridiculous as those which
now touch the risibles in the recollection,
and when we get to the other world and look
upon this, and upon the infancy of the soul
through which we passed here, we have no
doubt that we shall grin over the trials
which we experienced when when we lost
our fortunes, when our mills were swept a.
way Or burned, and when we did not get e.
lected to the Legislature. Men are but boys
Iof larger growth.

To Miss DOTcus.

To Miss DOrcus.
I've been thinking, I'vc been thinking,
If Miss Dorcus wants to fad
The sideal' of a husband,
She will fancy the undersigned.
His hair is dark and curly,
His eyes lively gray,
His moustache caps the climax
So all the ladies say.
His teeth are white as snowdrifts,
His mouth-(c (can't you relent?
IT'S not s'Cupid bow mouth,''
For Cupid's bow was bent.)
His manners are au fait,
His dress the very tom,
And I'll warrant you, a kinder heart
A woman never won.
And now, Miss Dorcus, as for height,
He thinks your standard low,
!Sir feet is his humble length
And he's no Shanghai beau.
His emusic" is a gushing spring
Of sweetest inspiration
You'd weep know to hear him sing
ssCuccoo" and "separation.''
Then fear not-you shall find,
The 'sideal'' of your dreams,
And, quick as thought, be 'sjined,''
If you can fancy Jcames.
And now about the sstin,''
Which seems point in question:;
O must confess the thought of it
Doth strengthen my digestion.3
You say, of precious metal,
You haven't such pile
(That's the tune that my old pockets
Have been singing all the whitley
Now, Miss Dorcus, let the money
Go to thunder and to blue,
We can love one another
If we've nothing else to do.
