THE CASE OF WRS. UOLL.
I. L. lIARROl R.

Mrs. RebeccS Moll was of those unfortunate women who are always "ailin'." She was never free from misery" of some kind and never knew what it was to see ia we'll day"
 Her conversation chiefly referred to the disease she was suffering from, those she had had, and those she expected to have. She always spoke in plaintive and dejected little whine but at the time wished it to be understood that she quite resigned to her fate.
 She was sure that she had suffered from most of the maladies common to humanity, and warmly resented the idea that any one had had more dis eases than she.
 She loved to dwell upon the many times that "four doctors had given her up" and W hen it was confidently supposed that "every breath would be her last" It might however, have puzzled her to give the exact dates of these trying occasions Ger tainy they had not been within the remembrance of some of her friends V ho had known her twenty five years.
 These friends were, indeed, somewhat sceptical in regard to the genuineness of Mrs Rebecca Molrs maladies They doubted her oft repeated statement that she had had the smallpox the genuine Asia tic cholera, the yellow fever, distinct shock of paralysis and all the levers ever heard of. They did not believe that her left lung was "clean gone or that she had ever recovered from combined at- tack of typhoid fever diptheria congestion of the lungs and black measles.
 One reason for their doubts regarding this last statement was that 1t was proved that on the day following that on which all these diseases were at their height Mrs Moll had walked three miles to quilting; but when reminded of this fact she said calmly, "Some folks git over sickness quickern others, and Pm one of that kind"
 It was not uncommon for Mrs. Moll to be breathing her last" one day, and enjoying & cup of tea at the house of 6 neghbor mile distant on the next. The ease and grace with which she took on and threw of disease was 8 matter of sur prise to her friends and of satisfaction to her. self
 There was one person, however, who had firm faith in the genuineness of all Mrs. MolPs mala- dies, and that person was her patient and affection ate husband, MT. Pliny Mol.
 "What my Becky has endoored no one but me and her knows" he often said, earnestly. "Many an a-many's the time Pve set by her sick bedside an' said to myself, Is she a-breathin CT aint she a-breathinP an Eve rig to .ny feet thinkin was widow man this time-yes, sir. An. ag'in when she's been settin right in her chair Pve looked at her an said, You dead Becky Mol" an when she'd say, So feeble like, aint quite Pliny, I've said to myself, Well, it won't be long fore you will be, Becky Moll if you aint better right forthwith an fkster.,"
 So good MT. Moll bore in patience the moon veniences to which Mrs. Moll's many and sudden
