mote a regular habit Of body and give q

cook put on the fire a metal pot, with
water according to the family, and when
it commenced to boil, she stirred in the
meal. The salt always went in with the
first handful. When cooked sufficient

you could cut it like cheese with a horn

that there was no bristlc there at

the effects which u real Oristle

understood that though there was
no real cause for her fears. a real
irritation had been excited by
them, and organic mischief had
resulted. The story ends here so
tar as our present subject is con
cerned, though as a tale it may
seem to many incomplete without
a few words more. The young
surgeon, We are informed, was
highly in favor thenceforth. He
had not only merely saved her
life, as she supposed, but had
shown her to have been right,
and all her friends, as we'll as the
other doctors, wrong. She would
have accepted his hand but for
the circumstance that, having al
ready a wife, he omitted to offer
it. She blazoLed abroad his
fame, however, until he had be.
come famous ''throughout the
