“Lord Beaconsfleld said in the House of
Lords that the immediate cause of her (the
Princess Alice's danger was one that would
live in the poetical history of mankind. She
had been warned that she must, above ail
things,abstain from kissing her suffering
children, and she rigidly obeyed until
when site had to tell her little boy of the
death of his little sister, he threw himself
in the first rush of sorrow into her arms,
and to comfort him she kissed her little one
and sacrificed her own life.”—Saturday Re

The Effect of an AdYertisenient.

Mr. Ernest Black knocking out his

“Ah! if you had told me in time I
would have gone with you.”
lo say the truth he did not much
care for company when he was going
to look at pictures.
Pity, eh?” lie said, carlessly put
ting his hand under her chin and
giving her a kiss. “Well, another
day, perhaps, Tottie”—her name was
Theresa, but her pet name was Tot
tie—“and then perhaps, I can
shopping with you.”
“But I particularly wanted to see
those pictures.”
“Why didn’t you think of it be
fore ?”
“You should have told me you
were going.”
“Yes, it was stupid of me; however,
there’s no help for it; I have only
just time to catch the train. Good
bye.”
And away he went.
Theresa sat down once more to her
book of household expenses, hut the
totals ran into each other, and the
same row of figures wouldn’t come to
the same amount twice running. It
wasn’t like Ernest, site thought, not
to ask her to go with him. He had
never gone off any where before with
out asking her to accompany him if
it were practicable. His manner,
too, was so cold. What could be the
reason of it?
She took uj) the newspaper to dis
tract her mind. She rarely looked at
the daily papers, hut this morning
she felt uneasy, and could not settle
to anything. Suddenly she sprang
to her feet with a cry of distress.
She had taken up the outside sheet
of the paper, and theron she had read
an advertisement.
“Constance to Ernest. To-day at
Victoria, 12 noon.”
That was the reason, then, that
Ernest had gone off to town so sud
denly. Yes, she knew it; she had
been wronged a. d deceived; could
it he possible that such treachery,
such betrayal of all the ties of friend
ship and affection could be permitted
to exist?
Theresa was, perhaps, of a some
what jealous disposition. Cer
tainly Ernest had given her no cause
for jealousy hitherto, as far as she
know,hut she had always imagined it
possible that at sometime or other he
would; and now it seemed to her as
though her forebodings had been jus
tified.
Constance Brown had been an
earnest friend, her schoolfelow, her
one dear companion, for whom her
affection could never he dimmed.
And this friendship had continued
unabated for a whole two years after
her marriage to Ernest, during which
it had been her chief delight to en
tertain Constance at her new home.
Now Ernest wasn’t at the beginning,
at any rate, at all fond of Constance,
and used to" think her visits rather a
bore. Anything was better, howev-
tlian having his wife in the dole
fuls, and on such occasions he would
suggest:
“Ask Constance to come and spend
a few days.”
As time went on, however, little
disagreements interposed be
tween the two friends. Constance
was of an adaptative nature, and
fonder of masculine than feminine
society. Site professed great inteiest
in Ernest’s pursuits, which were ra
ther of a miscellaneous character. Al
together si le grew in grace and favor
with the husband, and declined in
equal measure in the wife’s esteem,
rihe was too keen witted herself not
to perceive this, hut the ineradicable
love of coquetry and mischief that
lurks in every female bosom forbade
her to change her tactics.
The end of it was a desperate quar
rel between Constance and Theresa,
and Constance’s hasty departure
from Shrublands in a great rase. On
her part, Theresa avowed that she
would never have that deceitful girl
in her house again.
“All right,” Ernest had said; “if
you don’t care about it I don’t.”
But Theresa’s jealousy once arous
ed, was not to be quieted by any such
pretences as these. It was all very
well for Ernest to say so, hut his say
ing so did not deceive her. Having
once thrown her intlueuce over Ern
est, Constance, she knew, would not
he satisfied to resign her power so
easily. She didn’t doubt but that
Constance would in some way or
other contrive some way to see him,
and this morning’s paper had given
her a clue to the means she adopted.
Very well. Theresa, too, would be
at Victoria at 12 noon.
The carriage had just returned from
taking Ernest to the station; it shoulti
also convey her to the next train for
Loudon. She would have sufficient
time to reach the trystiug. place by
noon.
Victoria Station, however, is rather
a wide open place, not adapted for
concealment. How should she so
diseuise herself that she might wit
ness the meeting unobserved? Then
she remembered that her Aunt Blake
who had been a widow for a couple
of vears, had left behind her a wid
ow’s cap, bonnet and vail, having ta
ken the opportunity of a visit to her
ueiee to resume the ordinary costume
of womankind.
Bonnets are not formidable things
nowadavs, and Theresa put her
aunt’s weeds, with a black crape
shawl, into a travelling bag. She put
on a black dress with a white shawl
over it, and her usual travelling bon
net, that she might not give rise to
surmises at her sudden assumption of
mourning, and then skirted off.
The clock showed five minutes to
twelve, when she arrived at Victoria.
She hurried off to the ladies waiting
room, donned iter bonnet, cap, shawl
and veil, and came out upon the plat
form a demure widow.
Sure enough, Ernest was tnere,
walking up and down. She gave a
kind of guilty 'tart as he passed her,
and he looked rather hard at the
vouug willow with the nice trim fig
ure. ,
“So,” she thought, that is the way
you look at young women when I
am not by?” , , ,
The next turn that she took she
started as she saw approaching her
from the opposite side of the plat-
a porter, and asked him in a clear,
loud voice when the train started for
Brighton.
Theresa glided into the office by
the opposite door. The pretended
widow was waiting her turn at the
ticket hatch. With the quickness of
thought Theresa ran up to the bar
rier. A genial looking old man was
taking his ticket.
“Might I ask you, sir, to get me a
ticket for Brighton?”
“Most certainly, Madam,” said the
old gentleman.
She grasped the ticket and hurried
on to the departure platform, giving
as she went, the same signal with
her hand that she had seen her
double make just before.
Yes, he had recognized the signal
ami followed her.
The train was just due to start,and
she hastily jumped into a first-class
carriage. A gentleman jumped in
after her.
“Faithless fellow!” she thought.
“Constance,” said a tremulous voice
at her side—“dearest Constance.”
“You wretch!” cried Theresa, sud
denly unveiling.
But the effect was not what she
anticipated. It was not her husband
at all: it was Capt. Potter, late of the
Plungers.
It is now necessary to revert to the
proceedings of Mr. Black to account
for his presence on the scene.
Ernest had intended to take the
newspaper up to town with him
having been interested in an article
he had no time to finish. But hav
ing, with his customary carlessness
left it behind him, he bought another
at the station, and then the adver
tisement caught his eye—“Constance
lo Ernest.” Yes he knew what
meant.
Ernest Black and Ernest Potter
had been schoolfellows and cronies
in early days; but their friendship
had long since decayed. Potter was
a reckless spendthrift, who had been
obliged to leave the Plungers and sell
his commission, swamped with in
numerable debts. He had been an
old friend of the Browns, too, and
Constance had formerly been infatu
ateil with him; but her father, who
was a very violent, self-willed old
fellow, swore that she should never
marry such a scamp.
Constance had a nice little fortune
of her own, and she had just come
of age, so that if she persisted in
throwing herself and her fortune
away, there was no help for it. Still
Ernest thought it was his duty to
.stop it if he could. He flattered him
self that he had some influence over
Constance; and if he couldn’t put an
end to the affair altogether, he might
yet prevail upon her to have ali her
money carefully tied up.
The advertisement meant an elope
ment, Ernest thought—a clandestine
marriage, and the sacrifice of all the
irl’s future to a worthless scamp. He
would he there, too, and save
her if he could.
At all events he‘found himself on
the platform of Victoria station at
noon. Ah! there was Capt. Potter,
is he expected, stalking up and down
evidently expecting somebody. Er
nest didn’t take any note of him; and
Potter seemed anxious on his part
to avoid any recognition. But there
was no Constance. He kept, howev
er, a sharp lookout on the captain,
and, all of a sudden, he noticed that
his eyes lit up, and turning quickly
round, Ernest saw a lady in deep
mourning pass to the booking office.
Potter now took up a position close
by the wicket that opened to the de
parture platform where the man stood
who punched holes in the tickets.
Presently a lady in black rushed rap
idly past. Ernest followed her a few
paces to assure himself it was not
Constance Brown. No; the lady was
of quite different carriage and figure
from Constance—more like his own
wife, he said, with a jealous pang that
he laughed at himself next moment
for feeling. Whoever it was, she
jumped into the carriage, and the
captain after her. The guard whis
tled off the train, and Ernest turned
away, thinking that he had been ra
ther a fool for his pains.
Then he saw another young widow
gazing eagerly about her and run
ning here and there, evidently look
ing for some one she couldn’t find.
At last apparently overcome with
emotion or fatigue she flung herself
upon a bench and hastily threw up
her veil revealing the pretty, agita
ted face of Constance Brown.
Ernest sprang toward her.
“Constance,” he whispered, “you
here, and in this disguise ! what does
it mean?”
Constance burst into tears, and
sobbed out that she didn’t know.
“I know,” he said, severely; “you
have an agreement with that infa
mous Potter.”
“Infamous, indeed,” said Con
stance; “and he has gone off with
somebody else.”
At ;moment a man in livery ap
proached and touched his hat to Er
nest. It was his own coachman, an
old faithful servaut who had been
coachman to Ernest’s father.
“Beg your pardon, Mr. Ernest, for
coming up here without leave, but
have you seen the mistress, sir?”
“No. What do you mean?”
“Well, sir, she drove to the station
after you left, sir, and she seemed so
wild like and unaccountable that I
made bold to follow her for fear she
might come to harm; and I followed
her here, sir, where she changed
dress for widow’s weeds, and got into
the Brighton train, sir, with Capt.
Potter.”
Ernest turned pale arid fainted.
He recovered himself with great
effort.
“I know,” he cried, “I sent her to
Brighton, and have just seen her off.
How dare you follow your mistress,
sir?”
The man turned away in blank
dismay.
“Ernest,” said Constance, “we
have both been deceived.”
“Stuff!” said Ernest, “it was a
trick we played you, that’s all;
we found out the plot and counter-
He turned, and beheld his wife
and Capt. Potter.
“Hullo!” cried Potter. “Ernest,
my boy, how are you? Gad, I’ve got

ha! Here we are again, back first

“Come into the waiting room,”
cried Black, “and tell me what it all
means. Potter, I consider you an
unprincipled fellow to inveigle this
young lady into such a trap. You
know you only want to waste her
fortune as your have wasted your
own.” , _ .
“Gently, old fellow,” said Potter,
“all a mistake. My uncle died last
week and left me three thousand a
year.”
“Then why do you make ofl m

thought at the first moment that
there was a mirror opposite her, anil
that she saw her own reflected im
age. But it was not so. The lady
threw up her veil and revealed the
features of Constance Brown. It was
only for a moment, and then she
drew her veil closely over her face,
and making a slight gesture, as it
seemed, of caution, she made her
way to the booking office, went up to

But still there was terrible doubt
at his heart. What could it all mean?
“Come into the waiting room, Con
stance,” he cried, “and let us talk.
Ah, what misery,” he muttered to
himself.
They turned into a waiting room,
and Ernest threw himself upon a
seat, leaned his arm upon the table,
and groaned.
“What do you intend to do, Ern
est?" said Constance, clutching him
by the arm. “It is all very well to
tell your servant such stories. I ad
mire you for it, Ernest; but I know
better. It is deliberately planned.
We are both deceived.”
“It is impossible,” said Ernest.
“How blind you are,” said Con-
tance. “I always mistru^ied The
resa; she was my early friend, you
remember, and I believe that Potter
used to come to our house on pur
pose to see her, using me as a blind.
Oh, Ernest, what shall we do?”
“I shall have a special train and
follow them,” cried Ernest.
“Then I will go with you,” cried
Constance.
Ernest rose and staggered to the
platform once more.
“Ernest!” said a decisive feminine
voice at his elbow.
I’ve got a special license in my pock
et, parson waiting at Brighton. We
are both of age, you know.”
“Then why all this disguise?”
“Oh, that was my doing,” sobbed
Constance. “I was so dreadfully
afraid of papa.”
“And how did you get the widow s
things, Constance?”
“F—from—your—Aunt Blake. It
wasn’t very wicked, was it?”
“I think,” said Theresa, who had
recovered her equanimity and her
usual aspect of proud serenity, “I
think, Constance, you had better
come back to Shrublands with me,
and be married in a respectable, or
derly way.”
And they settled that so it should
be. They all went hack to Shrub
lands, and Constance was married
the next week, not in the widow’s
weeds, but in full bridal costume,
with several bridesmaids.
“Ernest,” said Theresa, affection
ately, when it was all over, “I'll nev
er be jealous again, but for all that,
I’m glad that artful minx is safely
disposed of. She shall never enter
my doors again, never.”
Potter always speaks of his old
friend Black with affectionate com
miseration, and says that the worst
five minutes he ever spent in his life
were passed in the Brighton express
in compauy with Mine. Theresa.
OUR PASSENGER.
It was a lovely autumn afternoon
towards the close of September,
when we wighed anchor and sailetl
out of the river Mersey, bound for
Melbourne. We had a good ship—
Janet’s Pride—loaded with miscella
neous articles. On board were four
teen passengers, and take them all in
all, a pleasanter lot I never steered
across the stormy sea.
There were three old gentlemen,
who were going out to share their
fortunes, come what might, and
which, poor old souls, they seemed
to think fashioned in the brightest
colors, long before the English coast
was out of sight.
Then there was a solitary old gen
tleman, who, judgiug from the gen
eral tone of his conversation, was
seeking the New World for the osten
sible purpose of finding fault with it.
There were two young married
couples, all full of hope and activity,
bent upon making a new home far
away from their native land.
There were also a very jolly elder
ly brother and sister, neither of
whom had ever entered into the
bonds of matrimony, but instead had
stuOk by each other through life.
There were three old Australian
settlers who had been over to have a
peep at the old country, and who
were now returning to the land
which to them, through long com
munion, had become the dearest of
all others, “Home, Sweet Home!”
Lastly, though not least, there was
a solitary passenger, who soon be
came the pet of all on board. He was
man of about eight-and-twenty
years of age, possessing a very clear
complexion, a very handsome long
flowing beard, and a very likely mus
tache.
His name was Reginald Moore.
His given reason for taking this sea
voyage was the delicate state of his
health. There was not the least
doubt that the poor fellow’s chest
was considerably affected, for his
voice, though charmingly sweet, was
one of the weakest I ever remember
hearing; and it had a certain hollow
ness in its sound that in my mind
is invariably associated with that ter
rible disease commonly called con
sumption. He always wore a thick
muffler round his neck to protect his
throat and chest.
In all my experience—and it has
been a pretty wide one—I never
knew any one with so many friends,
and such undivided esteem, in so
short a time as Reginald Moore.
There was not, I believe, a sailor on
board who did not entertain the
warmest possible liking for him.
As for the passengers, they never
seemed so happy as when listening
to his amusing anecdotes of which
he seemed to possess an inexhausti
ble store. Ami this delicate young
English paragon of passengers had
made this conquest overall our hearts
before we had been three weeks at
sea.
He was, too, such a clever fellow
with his hands. He could cut and
shape you anything out of a piece of
wood, * from an oyster to an ele
phant, and at making models
of ships, I never met his equal. He
was, besides, such a kind anti consid
erate fellow towards liis fellow pas
sengers.
When the three elderly gentlemen
who imagined their fortunes made,
were afflicted with sea-sickness, lie
was the first to come forward and
help them about while they slowly-
recovered. He would insist upon
their taking his arm, weak as he was
himself, and he would lead them
about on the deck with a firmness
that spoke volumes in favor of his
sea-legs.”
I do not remember any voyage
ever passing so quickly as the"one
when the pleasant passenger was on
board. I could, with infinite pleas
ure, make a long pause at this June- i
ture in the thread of my story-,
is the fact that it once belonged to
to my poor mother. On that account
alone 1 would not have lost it for any
amount of money. However, it can
not he helped, and therefore it is use
less to cry over spilt milk, as the old
adage has it. My only request in the
matter is, my dear captain, that you
will leave the matter entirely in my
hands, and I think it very probable
that I may recover it. This request
I am sure y-ou will oblige me by
granting.”
“Certainly, my dear sir,” I replied,
“hut still—
“Exactly,” he interrupted, with
one of his pleasant smiles, “you
would like to take the matter in
hand, and investigate it to the ut
most of your j lower; I know that,my
dear captain, full well; but I can
trust you to keep your promise, aud
leave the case entirely in my
hands.”
How could I deny- him his request?
You will readily imagine what
consternation this event gave rise to
among the other passengers. The
three old gentlemen instantly pro
ceeded to explain that they- possessed
jewelry to the value of at least £300,
which they usually kept locked up
in a brown leather writing ease; but
imfortnuately-, at the present time,
the lock was out of order.
Mr. Reginald Moore suggested a
safer deposit for their valuables.
The young married couples an
nounced the fact of their owning at
My- astonishment and my excite-
meut were intense. Another hasty
glance round, and he plunged his
hand down into the cask,then quick
ly- withdrew it, holding in his grasp
a small bag, which he rapidly con
cealed in the breast of his coat."
Again he took a hasty survey, and
was about making another dive into
this strange receptacle for hidden
goods, when he suddenly withdrew,
having, with astonishing rapidity,
replaced the lid of the cask. In an
other moment the cause of his alarm
was made apparent, as a couple of
sailors passed him on their way to re
lieve the man at the wheel.
When all was again quiet, for an
instant he seemed determined to at
once return to the cask, and no doubt
withdraw something more that the
interruption had prevented him
withdrawing in the first instance.
But suddenly changing his mind, he
went down the stairs that led from
the deck to the saloon and sleeping
cabins.
Scarcely had he disappeared when
another figure, stealthily crossing ttie
deck, met my anxious observation.
It was the boatswain.
I saw him glance towards the
stairs, down which Mr. Reginald
Moore had taken his departure. He
then made direct for the water cask.
It was now obvious to me that the
old boatswain had been watching
the pleasant passenger.
Just as he reached the water cask
a heavy green sea struck the ship to
windward, necessitating the boat
swain to hold on by the ropes so as
to keep his footing, and precisely at
the same moment Reginald Moore
appeared at the top of the cabin
stairs. I shall never forget the scene.
The instant the ship had steadied
herself the boatswain commenced
his examination of the water cask.
For a moment only Moore stood look
ing at him with as evil an expression
on his face as I ever beheld.
With one bound he was upon'the
boatswain, before lie could turn to
protect himself. I waited no longer,
hut flung open the door of my cabin
in an iutsant, and in another I was to
the rescue, and in a few moments we
had our pleasant passenger in irons.
So, you see, he was the thief, after
Only • Tramp.
The other day T a Press reporter
found a rough-looking, half-drunken
specimen of manhood in a saloon,
surrounded by a crowd who were
listening to his declamations and re
citations. He was reciting in a half-
intelligent way:
“Here,
With my beer,
I sit
While the golden moments flit.
Alas!
They pass
Unheeded by,
Aud as they fly,
I, being dry,
Sit idly sipping here—
My beer.”
And he continued to the end of the
brilliant Bohemian’s beautiful lines
on the beverage of Gambrinus.
“Do you know who wrote those
lines?” asked the reporter, becom
ing interested in the ragged, blue-
eyed and hungry sample of humani
ty-
“Did I know George Arnold?” he
exclaimed, “one of the brighest and
wittiest poets America ever had ?
Ye9, sir! He was my friend when I
wore better clothes. I was one of
the New York boys, and I remember
how we all mourned when poor
George died.”
“What is your name ?”
“I never mention my name now,
sir; I am only a tramp, and it doesn’t
matter what my name is or was.”
And our representative left him to
his beer.
least £250 worth of jewelry; and they | all, hiding his knavery under the
' r pleasantest exterior I ever knew a
man possess. The manner in which
he had manufactured the top of that
water-cask svas the most.finished and
ingenious piece of carpentry I have
ever beheld.
In the interior of the side of the
cask he had driven several nails,
about two feet from the top, on which
he had suspended, in wash-leather
bags, the jewelry he had stolen.
You may easiiy imagine the sur
prise evinced by our passengers on
discovering that the thief was the
man for whom each and every one of
them entertained such regard and
even affection.
At the expiration of three days
from the date of the pleasant passen
ger’s detection, we landed in Mel
bourne, where duty compelled me
to hand him over to the police; but
as no one cared to remain in that
town for the purpose of prosecuting
him, he was summarily dealt with.
The presiding magistrate sentenced
him- to six months’ imprisonment
with hard labor.
too consulted Mr. Moore as to the
safest plan for secreting it.
The kindhearted brother and sister
hud.it appeared, more valuables in
the way of jewelry than any one on
hoard, since £1,500 had never pur
chased what they possessed.
The whole of that evening was oc
cupied in speculating as to the proba
ble perpetrator of the theft, and in
condoling with Mr. Reginald Moore
on his great loss.
Every one turned in that night in
an uneasy state of nnnd, and it was
with astonishment that they found
themselves, in the morning, still in
full possession of all their worldly
goods. 'ibis improved condition of
attairs seemed to reassure our passen
gers, who once again began to look
cheerful and at ease.
Reginald Moore’s pleasant face
wore its wonted smile, and, as here
tofore, he enlivened and charmed us
with his vivacity and anecdote. All
day through he worked 011 the mod
el of the Janet’s Pride, still using the
top of the empty water-cask for a
work table.
That night we retired to rest with
minds far more at ease than the pre
vious one. Alas! what a scene of
anger and distress came with the
morning! Every passenger on
hoard possessing jewelry had been
robbed during the night.
The three old gentlemen,the young
married couples, and the kind heart
ed brother and sister, found them
selves minus every article of jewel
ry that they had possessed. Even
the grumbling old gentleman had
lost his gold snuffbox.
There was no keeping matters
quiet this time. The thief must be
traced aud brought to justice. What
was the wisest method ofproceedure?
What would Mr. Moore suggest?
“I would suggest, though most re
luctantly,” said Dir. Moore, “that
every sailor, and every sailor’s
luggage he carefully searched.”
To this proposition we unanimous
ly agreed.
“This.” he continued, “must be
most humiliating to the feelings of
your crew, captain, and therefore, in
common fairness to them as our fel
low men, let me also suggest that ev
ery passenger anil every passenger’s
luggage be also thoroughly search
ed.”
A little hesitation on the part of
one or two of the passengers was de
monstrated before acceding to this
last proposal, but our pleasant pas
senger soon contrived to bring those
who at first demurred to his side of
thinking.
“Of course,” lie said, “there is not
a passenger on board who is not
above suspicion, yet, in justice to the
feelings of the crew, it is in my
humble opinion, the least we can
do.”
This delicacy of feeling and this
thoughtfulness on the part of Regi
nald Moore, rendered him, if possi
ble, more admirable and praisewor
thy in our eyes than ever.
Many of the crew objected strong
ly to this mode of procedure, hut all
were compelled to submit. The old
boatswain was furious with indigna
tion, and vowed that if it cost him
his life lie would trace the thief who
had caused him to be searched like a
common pickpocket. Even the
pleasant passenger failed to soothe
his sense of injury.
Well, a thorough search was made
by myself, in company with the
kind-hearted old gentleman and his
sister. Every one's “traps” were
ransacked from top to bottom with
out success.
Further search was useless. What
was to be done?
That night, all having been made
snug, and the passengers having
turned in, none of them, as you may
imagine, in very brilliant spirits, I
went on deck, it being what we call
at sea “the captain’s watch.”
I turned in about 4 a. >l, the sec
ond officer then coming on duty. My
Mixed Graniinnr.
The witness in the following court
scene may have been one of those
boys who cannot see the use of study
ing grammar.
A man had been caught in theft,
and pleaded in extenuation that he
was drunk.
Court (to the policeman who was
witness)—“What did the man say
when you arrested him?”
Witness—“He said he was drunk.”
Court—“I want his precise words,
just as he uttered them; he didn’t
use the pronoun he, did he? He did
not say he was drunk.”
Witness—“Oh yes he did; he said
he was drunk; he acknowledged the
corn.”
Court (getting impatient atthe wit
ness’ stupidity)—“You don’t under
stand me at all. I want the words as
uttered them; didn’t he say I was
drunk?”
Witness (deprecatinglyj—“Oh, no,
your honor. He didn’t say you were
drunk; I wouldn’t allow any man to
charge that upon you in my pres
ence.”
Prosecutor—“Pshaw! you do not
comprehend at all ; his honor means
did not the prisoner say I was
drunk?”
Witness (reflectively—“Well, he
might have said you was drunk, but
I didn’t bear him.”
Attorney for the prisoner—“What
the court desires is to have you state
the prisoner’s own words, preserving
the precise form of the noun that he
made use of in the reply. Was it the
first person, I, second person, thou,
or the third person, he, she, or it?
Now then, sir, (with severity) upon
your oath, didn’t my client say, I
was drunk.”
Witness (getting mad)—“No, he
didn’t say 3’ou was drunk, either; hut
if he had I reckon he would’nt lied
any. Do you suppose the fellow
charged the whole court with being |
drunk?”
A Hard-Hearted Physician.—
A certain physician of Boston,whose
practice is amost entirely among the
poorer people, has the reputation of
driving hard bargains with his pa
tients, and, it is said, always requires
them to pay his fee before giving
them his recipe, and if the money is
not forthcoming will tear it up and
go away. The story is told of him
that a short time since he was called
to attend a sick child whose parents
reside in a tenement bouse. On ar
riving at the house, not wishing to
exert himself more than was neces
sary, he stopped at the foot of the
stairs and called, “Whose child is
sick up there?” “Mine,” 3aid the
mother, coming to the head of the
stairs. “Well, bring me down two
dollars,” said the doctor. The money
was brought, and the doctor then in
quired the symptoms, which bein
