however, determined to ignore my
own pleasure, SO behold me at your
side. Now, alas! the day waneth; l
have already procrastinated my delay
much longer than anticipated to stay.
| must bid thee farewell" striking a
still more imposing attitude, in un-
conscious imitation of the Colossus OF
Rhodes.
Farewell is a word to be uttered with sighs,
While lachrymals drop on the nose from the
eyes -,
But who save and excepting tue most swinish
of pigs,
Could enduah the thought, gazing on thee,
lovely Skggs ~
"Have YOU noticed" ," dropping the de-
clamatory and speaking quite conf
dentially, THAT when | am away | am
not hereP"
'I believe" confessed Juliana Kez-
iah modestly, "that my meditations
have approached that climactery.
Take care Doctor" as that gentleman
in bowing his adieus leaned senti-
mentally on the gatci that gate is
very delaborated.
The warning came too late. Gate
and doctor came down together with a
crash.
"Resurgam ~ exclaimed the heroic
gentleman, superbly, as, eXtricating
Himself from the debris of the gate, he
arose solemnly rubbing himself.
"Have YOU Observed, his features
gradually regaining their customary
expression OF dignificd calm, that
when YOU fall your equilibrium is apt
to be destroyed P''
And still rubbing himself carefully,
he strobe maleSticallv away.
Juliana remained, for few mo-
ments after the engaging doctors de-
parture, almost overcome by emotion.
Full forty-fve times had the lilies blown
Since she looked upon The sun.
For many years she had sought
one thing in life, and but one
a husband, heretofore with mortifying
lack of success. Now" she whis-
pered to herself, Il see land at last"
the Doctors portly form appearing to
her wishful eyes a sort of Canaan, of
which she was already part proprie-
tor.
"Oh, Annie" she simpered, as, en-
tering the house, she sank into a chair
near Mrs. Somers, II really feel quite
dilute. The doctors remarks are SO
hatulcnt, it is almost impossible for
me to moderate my sympathes to
compete with the situation. He is
coming TO tea tomorrow evening. /
thought had better reform the cook,
so that she might be prepared for
him."
Il am glad you mentioned it, Juli-
ana" said Mrs. Somers, pleasantly.
The doctor is famous for his CASTRO
nomic powers"
How delightful - cried Juliana,
with animation. lis he provided with
a microscope, or does he trust his own
visionary deblitics ? DO You think it
wou'd d be delecate for me to mention
the bull to him ? II not, | could refine
my remarks to the bear or the scor-
pon."
81 do not exactly understand you ~
said Mrs. Somers, with much gravity,
she will find neither bulls, bears, nor
scorpions on my table. | assure you"
Without condescending to enlighten
her cousins ignorance, Juliana sailed
away to the retirement of her own
room, there to lay the foundation of a
brilliant appearance on the morrow.
Many and strange were the devices
employed. Could Dr. Hackemup but
have seen her when her preparations
were completed
Morning came and went. Afternoon
shadows had begun to lengthen. Juli-
ana was about to begin her toilet for
the expected guest, when rap was
heard at the door. ''Oh. Annie, YOU
respond to the door. | should sink
with eiluson if the Doctor were to see
me with my habilimentations in such
disshovelled condition."
