An Essay on the Doctors,
BY TIE EAT CoNrR1nrroR.o

Quick, 20 tor the doctor. All right, I'm
going for him. I've been aching to 30 for
the doctor long time; so here goes.
There are great many kinds of doctors,
big doctors and small doctors, old school doc
tors, doctors of the new school, and doctors
without any schooling whatsoever. There
are doctors of laws, and doctors of sOnsin-
laws; ear doctors, and doctors difficult to get
the ear of; tooth doctors, nail doctors, and
doctors who go at you tooth and nail; eye
doctors and |. o. |. doctors eclectic doctors,
electric doctors, and doctors not of the elect,
who go il mostly on tick.
Thus we have cold-water doctors, and doc
tors who" straw" it a good deal; rootdoctors,
and doctors whose motto is Root, hog, or
die"
Spiritual doctors and doctors very much
out of spirits; magnetic doctors, and doctors
who haven't any magnetism in thcm-Or
much else; layingOn of hands doctors, and
doctors who will take anything they can lay
their hands on except, perhaps, their own

The king thought so himself; and he took
the pair home and knightcd his tool-and it
wasn't the first one, either. And after that no
doubt he kept his sharp speeches for his wife.
Men generally do, and it is on record that the
first long mirror the princess looked into she

MoLL CLATTERCLACk.

Mol Clattcrclack was smart III words
As any womau's RICHTER
And with the weapon of the tongue
She was an awful fighter;
She b!azed 1T this, and snarlcd at thal,
And kept up such clattcr,
The very chimney on the root
Was frightened ut the matter.
With fret and sceld, and Snarl and jaw,
She made the dishes rattle,
And clean destroyed the human folks
And almost killed the cattle;
The dog and cat, and rats and mice,
Became as deaf as addcrs;
The chickens staid upon the roost,
And got as thin as shaddero.
But not content with things at home,
The misunderstanding critter
Stirred up the people here and there,
And kept them in 4 twittcr.
Her mean and everlasting tongue
Was always kept Vaughn,
And vet you'd think she was saint,
If saints were made by braSgin'
She kept the ncighbors by the ears
With gossippin' and lyin!
And kept the men maxim oaths,
And women all cryin'.
You'd thought the end o time had come,
With all the fuss and racket,
For when she found an honest name,
She tried her best to black it.
If ever mortal was possessed,
She sartin and her legions,
And took her orders from the kin.
OF all the lower regions.
She pizened every home and heart,
And split all joy and gladncss,
And made howlin' wilderness

A very affecting incident occurred
in a Connecticut town the other day.
The clergyman, whose salary was
four hundred dollars. was waited up
on by a delegation. One of the eld-
ers made little speech, III which he
asked the minister to accept from
the congregation an addition of one
hundred dollars to his salary. When
the venerable old man heard this re-
quest, his aged eyes filed with tears.
and for a few moments he bowed
his snow-white head upon his hands.
Then in a voice that was trembling
with emotion. he said: Gentlemen.

New York SUMS Report OF Plymouth Church Ser
vices Last sunday.J
At half-past ten Mr.. Bcecher
pushed his way through the crush
from the rear entrance. The pull
pit stairway had two sitters on every
step. On the top step sat a rosy
checked little girl, and Mr.. Beecher,
as he picked his way up he stopped
to chunk her under the chin. The
little girl laughed. and playfulIy
chung to his hand. Then he sat in
the chair made of wood from the
Mount of Olives, and his eyes care
lessly roamed over the great congre-
CATION. On the stand close to his
side were some rare, bright flowers
in a slender, graceful vase. He
casually locked and smelled of them.
Further to the other side was a more
elaborate vase of flowers, of the
highest hues, rising to a height of
four feet. The flowers were made
more noticeable by the lack of heavy
pulpit fittings. Even the Bible on
the light reading desk was small and
common. Mr.. Beecher was the on
~ cumbrous thing on the platform.
The lack of detracting surroundings
threw him out in bold relief, and as
he sat there under the concentrated
stare of more than 5000 pairs Of
critical eyes, he seemed an embodi-
ment of the strongest possible indi-
viduality. Seemingly careless of
effect, however, he abstractedly fling.
cred hymn-book and some notices
that had been handed him to read,
while the choir sang an anthem.
What seemed most to attract his at
tention was man wearing the
white tie of a preacher who. pushing
through the throng, coolly lifted the
little girl from the top step of the
pulpit and sat down. in her place. The
child at once developed into pout-
ing malcontent, and stood looking
tearfully but angrily at the usurper.
The ten minutes of anthem was
followed by q two minuet prayer, in
which Mr.. Beecher said i: 1--WE
need no help to feel the warmth of
the sun but 0 Sun of Righteous
ness, we need proof to realize Thee
as Thou art. We pray that we may
know of Thy presence here to-day
by an inner consciousness SO strong
as to leave no doubt" Then he
read chapter of Scripture, gave the
of a hymn, after it had been
sung he prayed again-this time
longer and more fervently. The
burden Of his prayer was that he
went boldly to God with his suppl
cations, because he saw no repulsiye
frown and no Intervening cloud of
terror. He only saw supernal glory
permeated with love aid gracious |
ness. Grant, o Lord" he prayed. !

that grows only to become food for |

Rather may we be like the vine that

to the solid oak of Thy love. Make
rs bright that We may light others.
Make us warm that others. may be |
in our presence During
The prayer the preacher who had |
crowded out the little girl stood
erect and conspicuous on the top
step. with his head thrown b. OK |
md his eyes closed. The little girl
who hadn't any seat, eyed him curl
ously until he sat down again.
There was another hymn, and then
he preaching.
