"Down at Hornellsville" the tall, thin
passenger remarked, ''some of the boys were
telling me about young fellow who lost his
wife. They took her remains to some remote
point, her old home, / believe, FOR interment.
On their way back home, the bereaved hus-
band, accompanied by the physician, stepped
off the train at dining station for little re-
freshment. When they went in they saw
man at the lunch counter, his elbows squared,
and his jaws working like a an electric ma
chine When they went in he was standing
about midway between the ends of the
counter. The physician and the mourner
couldn't help noticing that everything on
the counter below the man was gone; cleaned
out, devoured; and everything above him
was untouched. Steadily the man worked
his devastating .way toward the bountiful end
of the counter, and the other passengers stood
back to see fair play, and give the counter q
chance. In time the man worked his way
clear and clean up TO the wall; he surround
ed the last sawdust sandwich, he wrestled
down the last piece of waterproof mince-pie,
he choked little on the last plaster-paris
cast of doughnut, but he got it down.
Then, with profound sigh, gazing along
the wreck-strewn counter, ne walked away
with the air of q man who had just sacrificed
himself for the good of his ftllow-men saying
in tones of triumphant satisfaction: There
by gaull The next fellow that comes along
here will get something freshr"

When Colonel Burr was released under
his own recognizance to appear before the
supreme court of the Territory, he became
the guest of Colonel Bensjah Osmun, a
wealthy planter residing in the vicinity. He
was a bachelor, had been an officer in the
New Jersey line, and intimate with Burr.
In politics he was high-strung Federalist,
had been strong partisan of John Adams,
and had no confidence in Mr.. Jefferson.
Near by Colonel Osmun, another old military
friend Of similar political opinions, the vet
eran Major Isaac Gu on, and with these two,
and other influential gentlemen, ne had daily
consultations. No sterner and truer patriots
lived than these two veteran soldiers and
they reposed mistaken faith in the friend
whom they had seen so often tested in the
slime that tried mems souls;" Colonel Osmun
lived at the place now owned by DR.. Stanton,
and Major Guion resided at the foot of the
Hallway Hill, aud there was a rural path be-
tween the two places trellised with vines and
shaded by evergreens. This was Burr's daily
resort But its refreshing shade and charm
ing prospect were not the only attractions.

"In the Bottom Drawer"

l saw my wife pull out the bottom drawer
of the old family bureau this evening. and
went softly out, and wandered up and down,
until l knew that she had shut it up and gone
to her sewing. We have some things laid
away In that drawer which the gold of kings
could not buy, md yet they are relics which
grieve us until both our hearts are sore.
haven't dared look at them for year, but
remember every article.
There are two worn shoes, little chip hat
with part of it gone, some stockings, pants, n
coat, two or three spools, bits Of broken
crockery, whip, and several toys. Wife,
poor thing, goes to the drawer every day of
her life and prays over it, and lets her tears
fall upon the precious articles, but L dare
not go.
Sometimes We speak of little Jack, but not
often. 1t has been a long time. but somehow
we can't get over grieving. He was such a
burst Of sunshine into our lives that his go
ing away has been like covering our every
day existence with pail. Sometimes. when
we sit alone of an evening, writing and
she sewing, child on the street will call out
us our boy used to and we will both start up
with beating hearts and wild hope, only to
find the darkness more of 8 burden than ever.
1t is still and quiet now. look up at the
window where his blue eyes used to sparkle
at my coming. but he is not there. listen
for his prattling feet, his merry shout and his
ringing laugh, but there is no sound. There
is no one to climb over my knees. no one to
search my pockets and tease for presents,
and never find the chairs turned over, the
broom down, or ropes tied to door knobs.
l want someone to tease me for my knife;
to ride on my shoulder; to lose my AK to fol-
low me to the gate when go, and be there
to meet me when l come; to call good night"
from the little bed, now empty. And wife
she misses him still more; there are no little
feet to wash: no prayers to say, no voice
teasing for Jumps of sugar or sobbing with
the pain of hurt; and she would give her
own life almost, to wake up at midnight and
look across to the crib and see our boy there
rs he used to be.
So, we preserve our relics, and when we
are dead we hope that strangers will handle
them tenderly, even if they shed no tears
over them

IL years of his reign, he had on the average
more than 600 guineas per snnum, and was
once ordered quo guineas out Of the privy
purse for the cures of NJ. Bentinck and NJ.
Zulestiein." On another occasion, having
been sent to Namur to cure Lord Albemarie,
after a weeks residence in the camp abroad,
his majesty generously gave him an order on
the treasury for Fl 200 and bis lordship pre-
sented him with 400 guineas and diamond
ring. The large sums of money which DR..
Radcliffe made from his practice afforded us
an opportunity of saying few words res
pecting physicians ices in former times. Dr.
Gibbons, who lived in Radcliffe's vicinity, is
said to have got more than f1 900 year
from patients whom the great man could not
attend to; and certain cambridge. the ap-
othecary whom he patronized, died worth
f500OO. His fee for going from his residence
in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to Bow was five gum
cas-. Such fees are not more than would be
had in the present day by any physician of
eminence; but considering the difference in
value of money, at that time they were GER
tainly large. Medicine, as profession, is
paid better in this country than in any other,
fact mainly owing to the higher social po-
sition which It's practitioners hold; but the
average income of medical men throughout
this country is very much over estimated by
the public; and although the generality of
medical pen are infinitely better educated in
the present day than they were in Radcliffe's
time, it is very questionable whether the pub
lie are more liberal to them. The late ae-
complished DR.. Thomas Young used to say
that no one should attempt to establish him
self ss physician in London who had not a
private fortune of $500 or f6O0s year. This
larger number of aspirants, with equal claims
to public patronage are to be found in the
ranks of physic. Blu: the public are apt to
forget, when estimating the gains Of ply
stefan the length of time and the expenditure
incurred before any adequate income can be
secured by Legitimate means, and how short
is the time ere fashion changes and new
names attract the attention of capricious pa
tients

How q Woman Mails q Letter.

Some crusty curmudgeon thus tells how q
woman goes to work to mail letter. 1t is
libel on the sex. Some of the girls will make
it red hot for him If he ia discovered:
"Any day when you have time You can
see how she does it by dropping into the
postofice. She arrives there with q letter
in her hand. 1t is sheet of note in a white
envelope. She halts in front of the stamp
window, opens her mouth to ask for stamp
but suddenly darts away to see if she has
n 9Ge any error in names or dates. 1t takes
Ave minutes for her TO make sure of this and
then she balances the letter on her finger,
and the awful query arises in her mind:
perhaps it is overweight" She steps to the
window and asks the clerk if he has three
cent stamp, fearing that he hasn't, and she
looks over every compartent in her portmon-
ME before she finds the change to pay for it.
The fun commences as she gets the stamp.
She fiddles around to one side, removes her
gloves, closely inspects the stamp, and hest
tates whether to lick it or wet her finger.
She finally concludes 1t wouldn't be nice to
show her tongue and vets her finger and
passes il over the envelope. She is
so long picking up the stamp that
the moisture is absorbed and the
stamp slides off the envelope. She tries it
twice more with like success, and getting des-
perate she gives the stamp a click" and it
sticks. Then comes the sealing of the letter.
She vets her finger again, but the envelope
flies open, and after three minutes delay she
has to pass her tongue along the streak of
dried mucilage. She holds the letter long
time to make sure that the envelope is all
right, and finally appears at the window and
asks: Three cents is enough, is it2' Yes,
ma'am.' This will go out to-day?' Ger
tainly.' will it go to Chicago without the

"Wbat time will it reach there7" 'To-mor-
row morning." She signs, turns the letter
over and over, and finally asks: Shall |
drop it into one of those places there?'
Yes, ma'am' She walks up in front of the
six orifces, closely scans each one of them,
finally makes choice, and drops--no she
doesn't She stops to see where it will fall
pressing her face against the window until
she fattens her nose out of shape ana she
doesn't drop it where she intended to. She
however, releases it at last, looks dows te
make sure that it did not fall on the floor
and turns away with sigh of regret that sh'
didn't take one more look at the superscrip
