than a postage stamp-less than to SEND or

do you? 1t instructs you and broadens
your views. II interests you and your
wife and educates your children. 1t
comes to you every week, rain or shine.

busy world. No matter what happens, it
enters your door every week as a welcome
friend, full of sunshine, cheer and interest.
1t opens the door of the great world and
puts you face to face with its people and
its great events. II shorseus the long
summer days and it enlivens the long
winter nights. 1t is your adviser, your

DON'T KNOW.

We don't ish to be irreverent, but
would like to ask: What did our FORE
fathers know? What, for instance, did
George Washington know? He never saw
q fast mail train; he never held his ear to q
telephone; he never sat for a picture in =
photograph gallery; he never saw a steam
boat; he never sighted a krupp gun; be
never received a telegraph dispatch; he
never listened to the saizz' of an electric
pen; be never saw a pretty girl running a
sewing machine: he never saw a self-pro-
pelliug engine go down the street to a fire;
he never took laughing gas; he never had
a set of store teeth; he never attended an
International Exhibition; he never owned
a bonanza mine; he never knew ''0ld
Prabs;'' he-but why go on?
No; when he took an excursion, it was on
a Fat boat; when he went off on a trsiu, it
was a mule train; when be wanted to talk
with a man in Milwaukee, he had to 60
there; then lie had his picture taken. it
was lone in profile with a piece of black
paper and a pair Of shears; when he got
the returns from the back counties, they
had to be brought by a man with an OK
cart when lie took aim at an enemy he had
to trust to a crooked barreled old finilock;
when he wrote, it was with a goose quill;
when he had anything 10 mend, his sratd-
mother did it with a d~arning needle; when
ne went to . fire, he stood in a line and
passed buckets; when be looked at a clam,
he never dreamed hat it was any relati. q
of his; when he went to a concert, be heard
a cracked fiddle and an insane clarionet;
when he had a tooth pulled, lie sat down
and never left of yelling; when be got out
of teeth he gummed yicsaals; when he
wanted an international show, he sent for
Lafayette and ordered his friends Up from
old Virginia with the specimens carefully
labeled in bottles; when he once got hold
of a nugget of gold from an Indian chief,
he felt very rich; when he wanted to know
anything about the weather, he CONSULTED
the ground hog or goose bone-but why go
on? What did such a man know? Who
was he, anyway.

And yielded 10 deep v~iolets. and the sheen

The garment of the earth. Nerdure below!
But ne'er a budding leaf to come between
Our eyes and the blue ether, broadly seen
Through tracery OF beeche-, stretching low
From mighty interchangeable scar brown

Of woodland palaces, were rocking high
The solemn rock in sable chorus weayes
A twig into his nest. and yet more nigh
A wild bird sings ofIove among the leaves
The leaves that are TO be when spring is by.

Tips LETTER.

TIP was q pretty little yellow dog, with
bright black eyes, black-tipped ears. and a
tail that eurled in a tight ring, according
to the most elegant pug fashion.
He lived in Washington, and was
broughtto his first home by a little colored
girl, whose kinky black hair curled as
tight as Tips tail. She waited to sell him =,
she said, because there were four moro
puppies at home, and her nanny couldn't
afford to keep SO many dogs. So the bar
gain was soon made, and the fat little
fellow was pat in the clothes-hamper for
the night. How be did cry! He missed
his four brothers and sisters. But be soon
grew contented, and learned all sorts Of
cunning tricks.
When summer came it was very hot in
the city, and poor Tip had only a small
yard to pay in, SO bis master thought it
would be better to send him into the coun-
try, and some ladies' who kept a school
offered TO take him.
One fine morning of he went in his
hamper, with a letter, which somebody
had written for him, tied around his neck.
When he reached the house the school
children were delighted with their new
playfellow, and after they had had a fine
romp together, the boys and girls crowded
around the teacher to hear her read the
letter. She opened it and began:
"To MY NEW MIsTREss,-As l am q

I've brought my hamper too. I've

chambers, | don't think | shall cry at all;

There has been a remarkable change of
public opinion said a female physician of
this city, Sin regard to the practice Of
medicine by women. We used to be
frowned upon by responsibility, ridiculed
by the papers, and seorned by the regular
faculty. We were told that we had nc
right to intrude in the profession, that we
were unfit for it, that We could never learn
its mysteries, that the law would be invok-
ed against us, and that nobody would en-
obstacles, and worked oar way along til!
the classes grew from half a dozen students
to n dozen or more. Things are changed
now. The old and violen preiudices
against us have disappeared. There must
b. over fifty regular prac ficners of our
sex in the city, and some them have in
comes of $40, 900 a year.. They are favor
ed by many wealthy families, aud the re-
suit of their practice is the best test of its
merit. They are as we'll educated as their
masculine rivals, many of whom are ready
to hold consultations with them. Look at
the Women's Medical College just opened
in Fifteenth street, with its chemical,
physiological, and histolog ical laboratories,
aud its body of professors. Its course of
study is three years, and it has nearly a
hundred students. who have come here
from all over the Union. This looks like
progress. and believe hat in fifty years
there will be as many doctors of our sex as
of the other."-N. Y. Sun.
