DIR. ABERNETHY'S COURTsHIP.

1t has been said by George Sands that
love and courtship end together, so that
he who would always be in owe must be
ever wooer. Such however, was not the
opinion of the famous physician, DIR. Aber-
nethy whose courtship, like his prescrip-
tions, was short and to the point. The
Doctor had been attending Il lady for sew
eral weeks and had observed during those
hurried visits certain qualities in the
daughter which he thought would render
her invaluable as wife Accordingly on
IA Saturday, when taking leave OF his
patient, he addressed her to the following
purport; ''lou are now so well that

But what we started out to remark is that in all the multitude of passengers on that train there was not & single man or individual, big, little, old or young, white or black, who was intoxicated. It was remar k.ble.
