A QUEER s TORY.

Dr. Clarence Jones was an enterprising young gentleman who meant to succeed in his profession. He was not clever in the sense of being well-read, and, in fact, he had only just managed to scrape through the qualifying examinations. But he did not aspire to scientific distinc- ton, and took no high her views of his H. ing than to regard it as means by which he might possibly make fortune. He considered that he would only be wasting valuable time by seeking hospital ap- pointment for the sake of gaining expe- rience. Instead, therefore, of going through the routine of young doctors early career, he took the bold step of renting the ground floor of large house in fashionable quarter, and setting up immediately as a consulting physician He was shrewd enough to perceive that he was best qualified to succeed in that branch of practice, being at heart a mere chsrlatan. He had acquired the art of making great show of sma.tering of knowledge he had carefully cultivated a bland and impressive manner, and he thoroughly realized that the grea: secret of amassing wealth is to be utterly un- scrupulous in the matter offees, and never to release patient while he can be i'm. posed on by humbug. As though to aid his ambitious designs, nature had en- dowed him with good presence. high and shining forehead, which was en- hanced by premature badness, and a soft, melodious voice.
 He found it uphill work at first. of course; but he had no real cause for dis satisfaction. He went as much as pos sible into society, and made useful friends He was always particularly careful to be polite and attentive to the wives and daughters of physicians in good practice. In fact he showed his sagacity by assid- nously courting the suffrages of lady ac- quaintances. The consequence was that patients soon made their appearance, while neighboring doctors, owing to do mestic influence, found many opportuni- ties of putting stray gu:neas into his pocket lB a very short time he contrived to gain the reputation of having estab- hshed practice, and soon came to be regarded as rising man.
 Dr. Clarence jones did not hide his light under bushel, but was rather ad- dicted to boasting of his success. Some of his professional brethren smiled at this, knowing from experience how slo~ and iaborious is the work of making a re- muner alive practice. But the wisdom of his tactics was proved by the fact that even these skeptics had no suspicion of the real condition of affairs. The truth was, that at the end of three years Dr. Jones found himself hopelsssly in debt, his professional earnings having fallen tar short every year of his modest re- quirements. His practice was increas- ing, to be sure, and in all human proba- bility the time was not far distant when 1t would yield him decent income bat meanwhile, just as it was more than ever necessary to keep up appearances. bank ruptcy and ruin stared him in the face He had spent his small capital, creditors were pressing, and he was literally re- ducsd to providing for his daily wants by sarrepitiously pawning his personal effects.

n city of unnumbered crimes, Thou, London. out of olden times A cry srise.h naming thee
 The seat of deep iniquity.
 Not all the brawling din that beats, Above thy leagues of crowded streets No, all the roar that rolls below, Yon clouds that slowly pass and go, Can dim or for one moment drown The voice of thine accusers down. Accusers! Net alone of men But all that thy dark past hath been. These hateful deeds that have been told, On History's hoary page and old; Or muttered by the gray haired sire, Beside the winters dying fire; Or whispered in the grandam's tale, To childish lips that blanch and pale. The tale told under bated breath The tale of violence and of death The mob the rack {; the stake; the flame The scaffold; or the sudden shame
 The iawiess acts of licensed power; The wlld debauch of hall or court; Or more 10 make the shudder start,
 The princess murdered in the Tower. But yet, o London, more than these; That makes the chill of horror freeze About the shrinking heart, and find A lodgment in the idlest mind; Aye, more than all thy past proclaims The deepest dyed of myriad shames Hath found in thee abiding place, In this fair day of christian grace. For what were all thy splendid guise, If under seeming peace there lies The deadliest Monster of the hour, That sweeps within it's fatal power, The fair fruits of the Nation's yield, The dainty blossoms of the field, That once drawn in its fiery breath, Are outcast even unto death And what were all thy varied charm, If only leading on to harm What park or palace. bridge or stream, Ifrouud about thy ways there gleam The fitting fires that lure to sin The aimless feet that wander in And what thy wealth if that it cause Not higher life and purer laws e And If, instead of lessening, swell The thousand paths that lead to Helli Turn, turn, thou London, turn ere yet Thy course be not too forward set! Turn ere the might of angered skies, Doth pour upon thy ill disguise Of virtue, all of kindled wrath Or neted vengeance that it hath And smite thee with fiery rain, Like old Gomorrah of the plain Oh, better were it that Ye stood, A wilderness of field and wood, Aheaped and jumbled pile of stone, Like eastern cities long o'erthrown, Than that thy limits e'er should be, The nest of such imPurity! Oh, better were it that ye should Stand in forsaken solitude, Like as when yet thy growth was less, And all thy ways were wilderness, Ye stood, in time long passed away, The lone dune of Cesar's day.
