A Doctors Ruse.

"A short time ago" says London Life, "a
Parisian doctor set up an establishment in
the Fauboug Montmartre He assumed u
sounding name, furnishad his house in
weird and fantastic fashion, engaged sol
cmn-looking and taciturn servants and an
nounccd that he could only see patients after
the hour of midnight or in the gray dawn OF
the morning. The effect was electrical
Every weak minded person, with maladies
real or imaginary flocked to the new medico
who soon began to reap golden harvest
At last the suspicious of the police wcie
aroused. The commissary paid lin IL per.
sona visit and asked to see his diploma Ia
his surprise he found out that moi only Ind
the suspected individual taken good degrees,
but that he had graduated with the high, 81
honors mt the Paris University. just MS he
was taking his departure, however, lhe'o'ior
entrcalcd him not to let any one know of his
high qualifications. The commssary with
some surprise, asked him the reason of his
desire to conceal so much intellectual light
under n bushel. Why replied the other, III
my patients only knew that was u mere
doctor my practice would vanish like the
snow"

Thinking of u tender hope,
Stirring always In our bosoms,
Where so many longings grope.
by and by! Oh love shall greet lis,
In time that is 10 come,
And the fears that now defeat us,
Then shall all he stricken dumb!
BY and by! The mournful sorrows,
CloudlDg DER our sky to-day,
Shall be gone in glad Tomorrow
Shall be banished quite away
BY and by We say II gently,
Looking on our silent dead,
And we do not think of earth-life,
But of Heavens sweet life instead.
By and by! We loo k in yearning,
Toward the harbor of the blest,
And We see the beacon's burning
In the port of perfect rest.
BY and by! Our ship shall anchor,
If the tide and wind run fair,
Some day in the port of Heaven,
Where our lost and loved ones are.
BY and by! Oh say it softly,
Thinking not of earth and care.
But the by and by of Heaven,
waiting FOR us over there!

did it with good feeling, and we are
positive it had its desired effect.
From candid reviewers who are not
strangers to sensibility and refined
feelings, have heartily co-operated
with us. We appreciate their grand
effort, and earnestly congratulate
them and hope they have all been
benefited therefrom. The programme
presented on the occasion was good,
and those present pronounced the
same verdict. The church was

audience. The following is the pro
