TELEPH0NING FOR THE
WRONG DOCTOR.

A well-known medical man of
this city was called up by telephone
the other day, when the following
conversation took place:
':It has come, doctor"
The doctor thought he knew the
voice, and, wondering why he had
not been sent for, shouted back:
s;Is it all right?"
"Its very small pattern an
swered the voice, which was that of
woman, @but it will do five take
palms,
The doctor caught the last words
and called distinctly:
'Give it paregoric!p
There was a mumbled discussion
which he could not hear, and then
the voice called:
"Is this Doctor
s:Nol it's Doctor of Fort
street,
Then he heard a chorus Of mirth,
and was informed that he was in
communication with a fashionable
dress-making house, and that it
was silk dress for Doetor's
wife was under discussion, and that
he was the wrong man, which, under
the circumstances, was rather a re-
lief to the Fort street physician.

MAR Y.

Can l forget the happy night,
In that December weather,
When she and l, with footsteps light,
Walked home from church together?
My heart was rent 'twixt joy and fear,
And she was coy and chary.
For that which moidens loved 10 hear
I'd whispered IN her tiny ear.
While walkin' home with Mary.
All, that was in the long ago,
But somehow it seems nearer,
And those dear days we used to know
Seem always, somehow, dearcr,
When Mary fingers by my side,
AS coy and swcctly chary
As when, in that December tide,
l wooed and won my little bride,
While walkin' home with Mary.
God bless thee Mary, for the peace
Inat cometh with this seeming,
And grant 1 ne'cr shall know surceasc
From this delightful dreaming,
For in mine age you are 10 me
Though all the world may vary
The same sweet girl you used 10 be,
And to q land my faith can see
I'm walkin' home with Mary.

An Anecdote of Mr.. Darwin.

The London correspondent of the Nan
chester Courier says | can Vouch for the
truth Of the pleasant little story which fol-
lows of the late Mr. Charles Darwin. 1t has
been stated in most Of the obituary notices
published on Saturday that the foundations
of his lifelong work as a naturalist were la i'd
in the observations which he made while on
bo ,rd the Beagle, of whose voyage he after
wards wrote such an interesting account.
Among other phenomena which struck his
attention, particularly while cruising off
South America, was the degraded condition
of man, in Patagonia, and the subject was
warmly discussed between the philosopher
and a p,ous young officer in the Beagle who
has since risen to high position in Her
Mai-sty's navy Darwin mainta ined that
the Patagonian was specially diffe rent from
the EnelIshman. and incapable OF improve
ment. SThe4feutenant was equally confident
that the ssIvage had but to be brought under
ChristiaS teaching to be elevated to the same
rank M social scale as European. Some
