I About three months ago she con-
planned n. = pain IN her side, and, as
usual, the doctor was summoned.
After prescribing three or four bot
ties of different compounds-all
harmless, but rather expensive-he
said:
"All you want to assist medicine
in effectinga cure is little rousing.
Although your ailment is serious. it
is not dangerous. Assume a little
energy and you will recover. Re-
member, rouse yourself"
After the doctor mad retired, the
patient fancied that at last some seri-
GUS disease was beginning to manifest
itself, and like fool, she went to
ped in dispair. .,.
Tom understood tho case thor
oughly from long experience, and
sai1 mentally:
"She wants rousing, does she :?
Well, I'll give her a surprise that
will startle her." .it u sr Is r
Mrs. Hake, an attractive widow,
was engaged to act in the capacity of
nurse to Mrs. G.. The widow is
young, buxom, amiablc, and Tom
thought her attractive qualities
might be made available in giving
the patient the necessary rousing.
A short consultation with Mrs.
Hake resulted in the arrangement of
plan, the execution of which was
to induce Mrs. e.. to forever after
wards throw physic to dogs. -
Late the next evening, while the
patient was fretting and grooming,
and announcing her Intention Of CIV
ing up the ghost, Tom called Mrs.
Hake aside aud said to her, in a pro-
tended whisper, but lond enough to
be heard by the invalid:
"Poor Fanny! she is about to die
ut last, and so you and I may as well
arrange for our marriage" 7a9 5,.r,
Tom threw glance over his
shoulder as he spoke, and observed
the dying patient ceased her groan-
ing, aud began to rouse herself.
Arising quickly to a sitting posture
in the bed. to note every word of the
conversation, she started at them
with eyes as big as small onions peel

"'Twill be a relief to her" contin-.
ued Tom, "for she has always been
an invalid. I, too, have suffered as
we'll as she, but with you. the pic,I
ture of health, as my wife, happiness
will be complete" ~ 81 'oaaer ,'2r
The widow threw herself upon
Toms shoulder, her arms about his
neck, and began to chew his vest in
mouthfuls, to smother her laughter.
"How soon shall we get married
after she is dead ?" asked Tom, pass
ing his arms around the widows
substantial waist.
"I suppose you will be willing to
wait q week or two 2" simpered Nrs-
