A Country Doctor.

He was an excellent specimen of the coun-
try doctor self-reliant, self sacrificing, work
ing great deal harder for his living than
most of those who call themselves the labor
ing classes-as if none but those whose hands
we're hardened by the use of farming or me-
chanical implements had any work to do. He
had that ssgscity without which learning is a
mere incum mbrance and he had also a fair
share of that learning without which ssgacity
is like traveller with good horse, but who
cannot read the directions on the guide
boards. He was not man to be taken in by
names. He we'll knew that oftentimes very
innocent sounding words mean very grave
disorders that all degrees of disease and dis
order are frequently confounded under the
same term that ''run down" may stand for
fatigue of mind or body from which week
or a month of rest will completely restore the
overworked patient, or an advanced stage of
a mortal illness that ''seedy" may signify the
mornings state of feeling, after an evenings
over-indulgence, which calls for glass OF So
da water and a cup of coffee, or a dangerous
malady which will pack of the subject of it,
at the shortest notice, to the south of France.
He knew too well that what is spoken lightly
of as nervous disturbance" may imply that
the whole machinery of life is in a deranged
condition, and that every individual organ
would groan aloud if it had any other Ian
guage than the terrible inartioulate one of
pain by which to communicate With the con
sciousness. - OliUer Wendell Holmes in April
