hence the impossibility of my giving you
notice. need not ask you to be very gen
tie and considerate of her feelings. She has
need of all your sympathy, especially while
her rsurroundingsher ares new and strange.
AS to your usual duties, you need fear no
interference on her part, for she will gladly
leave the direction of household matters to
your Judgment"
"And / am sure, sir, I will do all I can to
make her happy and comfortable" replied
Miss Latimer, greatly modified, for Mr..
Warren's little speech had taken quite a
load off of her mind. Since she had no in
reference to dread, and no fine-lady airs to
resent, she was disposed to live with the
minister's wife on the most friendly terms.
"She's just as nice as can be-" she remark
ed confidentially to a friend, soon after
wards, "and never disputes my Judgment.
But she's queer, too, in some of her notions:
Would you believe it She no sooner set
foot in the best parlor than she went to work
to put everything topsy-turvey-moved
out the chairs, heller skelter, all over the
room, set the things on the table crooked,
and carried away the big red and white
vases from the mantelpiece, where they've
always stood, and put them Lord knows
where, out of sight. Then she says to me,
Il suppose I may bring my sewing in here p
so innocent and child-like, that hadn't the
heart to object"

The recent discharge of DR.. Mary Walker,
calls to mind the life and character of a
woman who, in certain directions, has had
a monopoly of eccentricity. She has striv-
en- untiringly to induce her sex to adopt the
attire of males, SO far as practicable, for the
advancement of comfort and health.
Her career has been checkered one, and
her notoriety has not been enviable, for her
determination to study and practice medi-
cine met with great opposition, in the
years when lady M. Ds. were much more
of rarity than they are to-day, and placed
her in an anta9gonistic position toward the
sterner sex; while her adoption of trousers,
stiff brimmed hats, and coat-like garments
reused the Indignation of her less strong
minded sisters.
Her early life was spent at OsWego, n. Y,
and her own statements lead to the infer
ence that, even as q child, great portion
of her happiness depended upon the brevity
of her skirts.
Later in life, she became student at the
Medical Lyceum, and upon graduation, en-
tered upon the regular practice of her pro-
fession; claiming, however, that she was a
physician for women and children only.
During our civil war she distinguished
herself by her efficient service in attending
pending her own money for the travelling
expenses necessary to keep up with the
army.
She was awarded a medal for her services,
and had Lincoln lived, he would have, un-
doubtedly, bestowed upon her position OF
trust, as recOmpenSe for her earnest and
praiseworthy labOrs.
In 1866, she visited Europe, hoping that
her reformat0ry ideas would meet with
more encouragement. She appeared upon
the platform in ST. James Hall, dressed in a
black silk tunic, reaching little below the
knees, and fitting the figure closely, like a
mans frock coat black cloth trOWsers her
hair in curls, and bunch of flowers at her
throat.
The audience was large one, and gather
ed together by curiosity rather than SYM
thy. 1t was Il most disgustingly i'll behaved
audience, Dr. Walkers remarks being in
audible more than half the time, because of
the noisy ridicule and boisterous laughter.
Her figure is slight, frail and childlike,
and she would hardly be selected as Wo-
man to stand alone against the world and
the verdict of mankind, with harness on
and sword in hand, ever ready to fight for
her convictions.
In conversation she is agreeable and en-
tertaining, though better liked among men
| than among women.
Those of her own sex, to whom she is
we'll known, speak Of her in the highest
terms of praise, and insist that her motives
are misunderstood and that her efforts are
against the unhealthiness of tight lacing,
French heeled boots and cumbersome skirts,
and not prompted by a desire for share in
the governing of the country.
The reason for her discharge has not been
made known, but it cannot have been for
incompetency for those who have had deal
ings with her, say that she was most eff
cient and valuable clerk. Her motives are
pure, and her desire is for the physical and
moral development of her sex. These alone
entitle her to more respect and less ridcule
than has thus far been her share.

CURING A BAD MEMoRY.-Your memo
ry is bad perhaps, but can tell you two Sc
crets that will cure the worst memory. One
is to read subject when strongly Interested
The other not only to read, but think
When you have read a paragraph or page,
stop, close the book, and try to remember
the ideas ON that page and not only recall
them vaguely in your mind, but put them
in words and speak them out Faithfully
follow these two rules and you have the
golden keys of knowledge. Besides mat
tentive reading, there are other things in
furious to memory. One is the habit of
skimming over newspapers, all in a con-
fused tumble, never to be thought of again,
thus diligently cultivating habit of careless
reading hard to break. Another is the read
ing of trash novels. Nothing is so fatal to
reading with profit as the habit of running
through story after story and forgetting
them as soon as read. know gray haired

some of his parish work, and have gladly
consented to do so. 1t is relief to me to
find occupation-to feel that am learning
to do some good. He has taken me to see
some poor people, and have begun to visit
one or two families regularly, and to care
especially for one old blind woman who is
grateful to me for offering to read daily to
her. She likes better to listen to the Bible
than to anything else. have asked Miss
Latimer to show me how to make some
nice little things such as sick people like,
so that I can prepare them sometimes my
self if she is busy and not able to attend to
them.
81 guess you'd better leave all the cook
cry to me-" she remarked when made the
request. "You don't seem to be used to
such things"
''I have never tried; but I can learn," /
answered. II like to be useful"
'She said no more, but gave me the di-
rections had begged for; and | think she
was surprised to find that did learn, more
readily than she expected. Henceforth |
am to be allowed to assist her whenever
she makes any dessert; though we don't
have any dessert very often. BY degrees
I think she will let me help her in other
housekeeping matters. Hitherto I have
rather dreaded intrenching on her prov
ince-I was afraid she might think wish
ed to interfere.
