Cav made him promise faithfully that

Neander,s zone work. Y

Doctors, when they send away a
busy man for several weeks of rest,
do not consider that to one accustomed
to work an enforced rest is both irri-
tating and depressing.
Neander, the famous church histo-
rian, had promised his physician on be-
ing ordered to Carlsbad to drink its
famous waters that he would take no
books with him except one work, which
the doctor with reluctance allowed.
On the morning Of the historians de-
parture the doctor, wishing to say
goodby to his patient, called at his
door and saw a cart laden with heavy
fclios.
But dear professor, said the ply
sician with the emphasis of displeas-
ure, you promised me to take no
books with you" g5
Yes, doctor" replied the childliks
professor, .'but you allowed me one
work, SO thought / might take the Ia.

When Marriage il the Topic.

The welded state Is faYorite sub
ject with the epigram makers. From
very old ballad we take this:
There was d criminal In q cart a
A-goin' to be hanged #
4 Respite to him was granted,
And cart and crowd did stand
To know il he would marry a wife
Or rather choose to die.
s'Tother s the worst-driVe on the CARTE
The criminal did reply. n
More modern is this verse: @
would advise man to pause
Before he takes wife RIA
In fact, I see no earthly cause
He should not pause for life. @
Who, by the way, is the author who
describes q second marriage as being
'3the triumph Of hope over experience? r.
Samuel Lovers matrimonial epigraIn
Is very opposite: .5
Though matches are all made in heaven.
Il they say,
!. Yet Hymen, who mischief oft matches,
Sometimes deals with the house t'other
side OF the way,
And there they make Lucifer matches.
