tion DR.. Taber was commissioned to make
the presentation in behalf Of the ladies'.
He said:
Mr.. President-Mlinei is the greatand uneXpect-
ed honor Of representing on this floor the fair
ladies of beautiful, hoSpitable York. In their
behalf, and full Of deep emotion, present to you
this perfect and elaborate token of their heartfelt
pride and interest in the Medical Association of
our beloved State Who can close his heart
against the speechess eloquence of flowers, typi-
cal as they are Of all we love, and cOnsecrated by
the chaste and devoted hands of woman? How
suggestive of all that ennobles! How delicately
eyes ad sidera and to struggle for all that men
should cherish and defend! do not know, Mr..
President, how can better illustrate my concep-
ton of what these flowers mean-Of the aspira-
tions they should awaken-than by reference to
a very touching incident of one ofScotlands no.
blest kings. 1t is recorded that when the great
Bruce lay dying upon his bed, he called to his
side his faithful follower, Douglas, and told him
that after death his heart should be encased in a
c;lsket and borne to the Holy Land. The king
died, and grief-stricken Douglas essayed the
fultillment of his last promise Journeying
along, for days, he came at length to the burning
sands Of the East, and as he trudged along, full
of painful memories, suddenly he deserted in the
distance a band of mercilessinfdels. On fretted
steeds, with glancing cimeters, and with venge-
full hearts, they came! For once the noble Doug
las felt his heart sink within him. Believing,
however, that he bore around his neck talisman
sufficient to sustain him through every danger,
in the path duty, he stood manfully for battle,
and tearing the casket from his bosom and hurl-
ing it in their midst he cried out-"Go forth,
heart of Bruce, thou was wont, and Douglas
will follow thee or de!' With you. Mr.. Presi-
dent, the worthy eXponant of this honorable
body, have the honor of entrusting this beauti-
full testimonial from the ladies. I see in your
eyes that your heart beats responsive to mine,
and am sure you will not-cannot keep silent.
receiving the vase, the President said !:
DR.. Tabor-On behalf of this Association, 1

have so gracefully presented on behalf OF the
kind ladies Of Yorkville. 1t is indeed surprise
and Il pleasant episode in our proceedings. 1T
is a gift that we shall heartily appreciate and

work Of our arduous profession. AS physicians,
we have always regarded woman as our best
friend and am proud to say we most heartily
recprocate her friendship. The present gift is

which, like the evening twilight, comes upon us

brance and for their beautiful gift. You will

ceptance of their beautiful vase of flowers, and
