One day a Nassau street bookseller, who had
received through me several orders for books not
attanable outside the New York market said, in
his brisk busness-like manner, as he knocked the
shelf-dust from a volume:
"IIere's something that your friend, DR.. -,

saw it. Suppose | send it to him"
"What is it?' indihrerently asked, looking up
from recent scientific publication that greatly
interested me.
The book passed the counter and laid
aside few minutes until my other reading was
ended Half hour afterward, said TO him:
