DIX years passeu, uunng the most OI
which / was not in communication
with Aunt Deborah or any of my rela-
tives. they having with one accord re-
fused to forgive me for being strong
minded" and persisting in the study
of medicine. They were years of hard
work and almost uncomfortable loneli-
ness. / was engaged in professional
labors in village in Vermont.
One day messenger came in great
haste to call me to- the bedside of a
stranger who was very i'll, perhaps
dying. No male physician was to be
found. WouldI go? hesitated but
Q single moment How thankful was
l afterward that | obeyed the impulse
of mercy and cast aside that of
prudery! 1t was Mr.. Gleasonl
When he became conscious. DAYS
afterward, he reached feebly for my
hand and said:
This is what | have been praving
for. 1 have found you at last
Hannah"
That was five years ago. and now we
have been married just four years and
eleven months. and are as happy as
mortals, subject to the ague and their
neighbours chickens, can ever hope to
be. On our marriage day threatened
to ''throw physic to the dogs" but my
husband said:
mo. You shall always be my
physician. Chicago Herald.

just had his leg amputated, told him
that he had stood it like woman.-N.

The lrishman explained that he was
smiling because he had seen his cousin
from Cork that day. On being asked il
there was good news from home, he re-
piled: Il only saw him across the street;
and when ran up to him, found he
was not the man. "-C hristiGn Union.
Il don't think it necessary for that
man Crags to hobble around on those
clumsy crutches.'' "Why, the poor
fellow has one leg six inches shorter
than il ought to be-" IL know that,
but Gen. Sheridan has both legs eight
inches shorter than they ought 70 be,
and he takes only his staff when he goes
out. - Chicago Tribune.

Since the laying of the first trans
Atlantic cable in 1858, the extension of
a connected line of wires from this
country to Europe, Asia, Africa.
South America and Australia has
been progressing with great rapidity,
until now there is an almost uninter-
rupted line of telegraphie communica-
ton extending around the globe. and.
but for few thousand miles between
this country and Australia, across the
Pacific, completely girdling it. The
constantly recurring frequency of ru-
mors to the effect that a trans-Pacific
line is about to be laid gives promise
that in the near future this will be ac-
complished. Ordinarily people have
no idea of the extent to which tele-
graph lines have been carried. They

village of over ten thousand people in
any part of the earth but what has its
telegraphic station for the receipt and
transmission of messages. Neverthe-
less. such is the fact That the revenue
from such a tremendous systematized
coscern can not but be very large is cas-
lily understood when it is known that

over 80 per word is levied. From
