TnE Nrnpy SruDENr-Thc following story

made public 10y a friend OF DR.. Gregory in IL
volume recently rubli-hodin London.
One day DR.. Gregory saw in mirror.
when his back was tUrucl, student sweep
a lot Of guincas off the table into his pocket
He dismissed the young man in the usual
way, but said to him, with deep emotion, '
Il saw hat you did just now. Keep The
money, ! know what distress YOU must be in.
But, for Gods sake never do it agaiu--it can
never succeed" Resisting the anguished
prayers of TIE POOR fellow to be allowed to
return the money, the good doctor said to
him, "N our punishment must be to keep it,
now you have taken it," and so the matter
ended. But how glorious, how encouraging,
to read tAat this youth turned out to be IA
good and honest man. Doubtless there are
men and women who would not be open to
the good effect of such treatment-at least
from everybody. Nearly all depends on the
doctor in these cases, not on the patient.

enough TO compete with the first class horses

but those who have examined his points all
unite in saying he is undoubtedly good 600
yard horse. but that he is not well put up for
making mile heats 1t will be remembered
that this race is the two best in three, mile
