emphasis on two words of the sentence.

thoughtfully over his gold specta.les at tho
young lady. 81 hear her sister was quite an
actress, and under Mr.. Hosmer's instructions

The young lady appeared irritated. The

From the presdentess down to the humblest

is Miss Harper, who, as chemistress, is un-

reputation as an astronomercss. And in the
department of music few can equal Miss Kel-

A Lost Patient.

A foreign scientific periodical relates this
suggestive story:
Some time since lady called upon cele-
brated ocust in order to consult him on ac-
count of her eyes, complaining that their
power OF vision had of late considerably di-
minished. At glance the doctor saw that
she was a lady of rank and wealth. He
looked az her eyes, shook his head, and
thlught the treatment would require much
time, as there was reason to fear amaurosis
in her case. He must advise her, first Of
all. that as she had informed him she was re-
siding a considerable dstaLce in the country,
she must move into the city at once, and
thus enable him to see her frequently, if pos
s.ble daily.
The lady then rented an elegant mansion,
moved into the city, aud the physician was
punctual in his atten lance. He prescribed
this anu that, and thus DAYS run into weeks
and weeks into months. The cure, however,
was still coming. The physician tried to
console her.
One day the patient bit upon a curious
scheme, and she waited not long to carry
it into effect.
She procured for herselfa very old and
poor attire, put hood of tremendous size
upon her head, took an cid umbrella and
a market basket in her hand, and in these
habiliments she visited her physician, select
ing for the purpt Sc very rainy day. She
had so well succeeded in distorting and dis
guising herself that the eye even of lover
could scarcely have recognized her. She was
obliged to wait long time in the ante-room
OF her physician, with many others who, like
her, were seeking relief. At last her turn
came.
''Well, my good woman, what have youto
complain of?'
''Very bad eyes, DOCTOR" she answered.
He took her to The light, looked into her
eyes, but failed 10 recognize his patient.
Struggling his shoulders, he said:
''YoIr eyes are we'll enough"
''Wel?' she said
"Yes; l know what / am saying."
"Bus have been told that l was getting
the a-a-forgot how it is called"
'Amaurosis?"
''Yes, that is it, DOCTOR"
''Don't you let them make you believe any
such nonsense. You. eyes are little weak,
but that is all. Your physician is an ASST
"An-?'
eyes, an ass! Tell him boldly that say
So"
The lady now arose, and in her customary
voice said: ''Sir, you are my physician; don't
you know me?''
The face the sage counsellor made Is
easier to imagine than to describe.
Gracious, madamei' he commenced to
stammer an apology. but the lady would not
listen to him, and lett him Indignantly. She
never saw the gentleman any more.
