Tboueht ais Time aad Come.

About midnight the other evening the door
bell of one of our physicians rang violently and
the doctor, putting his mouth to the speaking
tube, asked what was wanted.
81 must see you right away" replied
voice.
"But am sick and not able to attend to
business" replied the doctor.
mo matter said the voice, 81 must see you
anyway"
The physician arose-it was bitter cold
and he was quite ill-donned his clothes, and
proceeding to the front door, let in, along with
strong blast of zero air, man and woman.
Neither looked very CHI out of health but
the mans eye rolled rather wildly and he ap-
peared somewhat dist urbed.
"Wen," said the physician, "what is the
trouble?''
"The trouble!' replied the man. Trouble
enough You see, doctor, we own an old-fash-
toned clock that has stood on our mantel
piece for years. 1t has not been touched in
all that time. Its works are dusty and its
case defaced by time. Would you believe it,
doctor, tonight, after we had retired-that is,
wife and I-all at once that old disused clock
started up and struck the hour OF twelve. VI
course, doctor, that meant my time had come,
or warning that must soon die. What shall
I do, doctor?" and the man moaned and rocked
to and fro while the wife wept to see her hus-
band SO affected.
The physician said he didn't see how any
prescriptions he could give would put OFT the
fatal hour, if Vennor had predicted it, but the
man insisted and finally the doctor gave him
prescription for bromide OF potassium with
which man and wife departed somewhat con-
