DIR. ARNOLD'S PRESCRIPTION.
Gone, undert the tongue two, in the
shoe; three, let 1t be four, over the
door," repeated Felicia, walking
through the clover field with her eyes
upon the ground, "If | could only find
a four-leaved clover Now I wonder
who would come under it; nobody,
then if | was in town, | shouldn't be
likely to find the clover, so it's about
even. There's pretty view of the in
terval; | mean to sketch it." And then
she sat down on a grassy knoll, opened
her sketch book, and attempted to
carry her threat into execution. She
worked away diligently for half an
hour, when someone said over he1
shoulder
"You need somewhat heavier touches
just there, ii [ may interfere. Don't
you see how black the shadows ia Ii .
CDR Gray" cried Felicia Glow
you startled me How dare you look
over my shoulder, Sir? Don't you
know how rude it is !"
How rude is it ? >
So rude that if [ weren't so glad to
see you [ should send you away.
Where did you come from2 Did you
rain down with the sunbeams
"Just now" he answered 81 came
from Shell Beach, where my mother
and sister and few friends are wasting
the summer hours; and there [ heard
that you were here
How nice it is to see you 1t seems
like old times. / wac Just ON the poin,
of getting home sick, and you have
cured me. Sha'n't we go up to the
house, SO that [ may introduce you tc
Aunt Sophy Z? "a"

rather stay here the little time | have
to stay | should have to divide you
among SO many up there. "
And | being toinsigniicant, / think
there wouldn't be enough to go round
By-the-way, where do you mean to set
tie, doctor2 When last had the pleas
ure of talking with you, your mind was
perplexed by the query
g Yes. What would you advise
How would it do to settle hereabouts r.
g In this wilderness Waste Your
sweetness on this desert air, and prac-
tice patience instead of medicine? Be
sides, | heard aunty say that there was
was a new doctor here already.
I" Indeed. Did she mention his
name?
Yes; it's DR. Arnold morning, noon,
and night. If [ don't take his doses,
| have chronic dose of himself She
sings his praises loud enough to make
his fortune. [ dare say he has given
up advertising. He cured aunty of q
fever when the old doctor over at Shell
Beech had given her up.
''Then you haven't seen him -
No; the truth is, I'm afraid to face
such a paragon. He was here the first
night came, and aunty begged me tc
down and see him, but Ihad headache
you know travellers always have head
aches; it's one of their perquisites. :"
s. And he might have cured it. Sc
he was here the first day you came

Eyes and he was coming to-day. Sc

enough"

perhaps, and green goggles, and takes
snuff. He's bachelor, at least fol
aunty-dear old goose suggested
that it would be ever so nice if he
were to take fancy to me, in order
that we might live near her 1t never
occurred to her that [ might have wore
to say in the bargain. / laughed heart
lily at the idea a and Aunt Sophy was
quite put out, do you know, and told
me at last that there was no da nge Q

'Ah, what preiudices you womer

Your bugbear must be gone before
this, unless he stays to tea. Blythe

four leaf clover" Then he mounted
his horse which he had tethered to tn,
fence and rode away.
"Where have you been child ;
asked Miss Sophy Saxon. You al.
ways do contrive to hide yourself wheI
the doctor is here. He wanted to see
you and asked if you were well; and
told him you were well enough to be
galivanting over the neighborhood al
the afternoon.
"He wanted to give me dose Of
calomel, l suppose. [ hate doctors
