master-hand to laugh, then she didn't
know; and Mrs. Goodman ventured to
show herself to ask him not to go home
without taking along n few notions for
his wife. The chaise box was packed
with fall sweetings, pair of chickens,
half peck of doughnuts, and cheese to
go with them; and soon the parson, in
the best of humors, went teetering
homeward.
"The whole matter was soon explain
ed, and the stories tracked to the
Snuffer girls. They were dreadfully
cut up, and laid the whole on my should
ers; but nobody else blamed me; and
as for Betsy Jane and Lyddy Ann, they
knew it wouldn't do mite of good to
keep put out with me. 1t was only
cutting off their own noses, for they
couldn't do without me, anyway. The
best of it was when Lyddy Ann came
to be getting ready all of sudden to
marry n widower with five children, and
didn't want soul to know of it till the
last minute, especially as she had al
ways declared that she never would
marry q widower-no, not if she had to
live an old maid till the day of her
death-and the girls would never be
done hectoring her
Now, girls, let me give you one
piece of advice never be telling before
hand who you will or who you won't
marry. According to my way of think
ing, it is more prudent and more modest
to wait until you are asked.
{" As for Lyddy Ann, she owned that
L was all right in keeping things to my
self, and that she had been ugly in
running out SO against me; and she
went on to say that she had learned one
good lesson from me, and one that she
would try to indoctrinate her step
children with, and that was, not to fetch
and carry from house to house what
they might happen to see and hear.

The Slavery of Prosperity.

The London Globe prints the follow.
ing readable article: In the full swing
of medical practice, it says, the pace is
tremendous. When once the indeinable
stamp of fashion is set upon doctor
every one wants to engage his services.
You may go to the great mans house
again and again, and the great man will
not be able to see you. You may write
to his secretary, and the secretary may
make an appointment for the week after
next, but It by no means follows that he
will be able to keep the appointment.
AS soon as the clock strikes two he
makes dash from the consulting room,
swallows an apology for lunch, and you
presently observe him driving past the
windows. In vain the unpunctuality is
notorious, in vain the consulting fee is
doubled. People are determined to have
the great man, and the great man they
accordingly get; they will bring him
down two hundred miles, though they
have to pay two hundred guineas for the
journey. They will have him, though
the patient may be IN articulo morris.
For there are circumstances under which
some rich men think that no consultation
is too costly. They will have him and
no one else, although the case, scientif-
cally considered. may be as simple as n
cut finger. Sometimes they resort to
him because the case has really baffled
the average skill of the average practi-
toner, and it not unfrequently happens
that the celebrated physician makes a
diagnosis and suggests remedy that
sets his brethren to rights. But when
the fashionable physician has really OBJ
tanned this immense practice, the charm
of the practice must depart. The great
physician becomes a great slave. He
lives in a state of gilded captivity. He
cannot call his house his own, or his
hours his own, or his family his own.
He is at the beck and call of the public.
He takes his meals with his loins girded;
or, rather, he may be obliged to exist on
Liebeg's extract for want of time to par
take of solid food. When the tide of
fashion steadily sets in he is almost sub
merged beneath the wave. He bids fare
well to leisure, friends, private life-all
that makes existence endurable. The
guineas accumulate, the checks, the
bank-notes; there are plethoric invest
ments, lordly income. But mans in
come for all purposes of enjoyment is
not what he gets, but what he spends.
Many men who imagine that they are in
the enjoyment of a stately income are
often, like children, playing with little
bits of paper that come in and little bits
of paper that go out. There is not so
very much use in man getting ELS, 200
a year if he can hardly spend 91, 500.
But as rule we acquit great physicians
of any mean love of filthy lucre. They
hardly know the sums which roll out of
their pockets when, worn out and
harassed, they tumble into the uncertain
bed from which the night-bell may
arouse them. They would willingly take
less of lucre for more of leisure.

Just as of Old.

saw my love in dreams last night
Pass up the sleeping moon-lit lands,
The love beams in her dear eyes bright,
A rosebud in her lose leaf hands.
And round me, as l nes er stepped,
felt her soft arms steal and fold,
While close against my heart she crept,
Just az of DID,
The gay dawn broke, my love was gone,
The golden dream was past and dead;
got me to the churchyard lone
Wherein my love lay buried.
found a headstone gray with years,
bowed me to the morn mists cold,
l wept, and knew she saw my tears,
Just as Of old.
But ever while live alone
This comfort comes and soothes my care
We two may meet, when all is done,
Far off in heavens garden fair,
And by the light above, beyond,
Chastened, each others face behold,
Stainless, more pure, but true and fond,
Just as Of old.

A Victim of the Measles.

The measles are visiting the Upton
(Mass.) families now, and the latest vic
tim is pet dog in the family of George
Walker Major was a valuable New
foundlander, who regularly "took " the
disease from the children, having a
cough and every symptom that attends
this sickness in the human family. They
doctored him and he got along nicely for
few days, but he perversely ran out in
the snow, which apparently gave him q
chill, the measles struck in, and death
closed the scene.

Want to Pay 1t Back.

The New Jersey Senate passed a reso-
luton, offered by Senator Hill, of Nor
ris, directing the Representatives of the
State in Congress to urge the settlement
of certain class of claims against the
several States. In 1886 the United
States general government found itself
in possession of $2S, ,000,0 600 of surplus
revenues, and redistributed it among
the States, with the understanding that
should it ever be wanted it would be
called for and must be restored. In
most if not all of the States it was used
as school fund. Mr.. Hills resolution
is for the repayment of the moneys. The
amount due from the State of New Jer-
sey is $764, ,670.44.

A newsboy arrested in New York testi-

that since he was seven years old he had
made his own living peddling papers.
During this time, his mother, paralyzed,
was in a hospital, and his father, who
was blind, was under charge of the
county. The little fellow had battled
manfully for life, and most of the time
had paid three dollars week for his
board, besides sending his mother and
father delicacies frequently. He was

Keep Away.

The son of a subscriber of New York
paper receives the following in reply to
a letter asking what chance there was for
him to get work in the city: If you are
wise you will not think of coming to
New York at this time to work at your
trade. Many thousands of persons as
competent as yourself to earn a living
are now out of employment, and either
subsisting on the earnings of more
prosperous years or almost at the verge
of starvation.

Terrible Death,

A boy in New York went to the eleva-
tor entrance of the third story of the
Union Telegraph building and thrust
his head through the opening at the side
of the door to look down to the base
ment. The Car, which was rapidly de-
scending, struck the boys head at the
base of the skull and cut off his head
above the ears and eyebrows.
