Effect of Steady Work.

Southern surgeon, said in one of hii
surgical lectures at the State co...

for a physician to boast of being
busy. Physicians, undertakers and
gravediggers only cause discomfort
when they allude to good times and
prosperity.
"There was an old man who ap.
piled to the minister of the little vii.
lage of Point Rock for the post oi
gravedigger. His references were
good and the minister agreed to as.
sign him to the churchyard. He was
to be paid so much grace.

price, finally accepting it.
