A NEW OVERCOAT.
“Yon inherited a good constitu
tion^ Miss Marlay,” said: Dr. Hen
don, “aud i do not now discover
any symptons of organic disease.
Your health is feeble; it is true, but
I see no reasons why it should re
main so, or why yon may not be
come perfectly well and live a good
many years.”
‘Top late for that,” replied, the
lady, dejjpopdingly. “My lijp is
drawing to a close. But it is no
matter,” she added, with a sigh.
“I thought I would like to see you
and- talk with you, Doctor. You
were our family physician mjiny
years since. But I do not supposo
you can do anything for me.”
“Can it be possible, Adelaide,”
said the doctor, after regarding his
patient attentively for a few moments
that thei c is some secret trouble
pressing upon your mind ? I have
known very little about yon since
your early youth but was well ac
quainted with your parents, having
been their family physician. for sov
oral years both before and after your
birth. They both died during my
protracted absence in Europo, a'nd
left yon, as it seems, their only child
and heir. You wore, I believe,
about seventeen years old at the
time of your mother’s death.”
“Yes,” said Miss Marlay. “And
my father died throe years later.
Fifteeu years have since passed,” she
added, again sighing deeply; “years
of strange and varied experience. I
have seen a good deal of the world,
but nothing that has satisfied mo.
The truth is Doctor, whether sick or
well, I am unhappy !” And partly
raising herself from the sofa upon
which she .had boon resting, and
looking up earnestly at her old phy
sician and lriend, she burst into
tP^j'S.
“Really you embarrass me, Ade
laide,” said the doctor, after a few
moments of silent perploxity. “It
is very evident-to the that there
something troubling you; and, per
haps, you may as well toll mo just
what it i8. As a youug lady, you
wore bright and active and'gooi
looking, if you will allow me to say
so. Your educational aud "social
advantages were good; and it seems
a littlo strange to me that you have
•remained unmarried through all
theso years*” v
“Please do nob refer to any mat
ter of that sort, Doctor,” suid Miss
Marlay, with evident emotion. “It
may scorn strange to you, but it is
-too late now. I shall never bo mar
ried;” and again the tears gathered
in hor eyes until they overflowed up-
ou her pale ..checks.
“There is a trouble or disappoint
ment of some sort preying upon your
mind, my dear young lady,” persist
ed Dr. Hendon, with kindly perti-'
nacity. ' “And it is * better, as . it-
seems to me, for yon to tell mejiist
what it is; which you may do in per'-,
feet confidence.”
“Is there no spot or place in the
heart of ii woman, that can - be con
cealed froth eveiry even from
her physician ?” asked ' bis patient;
while her cheeks grew ci'imsou.
“Perhaps thereNriay be,” was the
doctor’s quiet reply; “but Ido not
know exactly whero it is.” •. '
“Well, Doctor, I supposo I tnay
as well fell you the whole story,”
said Adelaide, after some further
hesitation. “Aud I will tell you
more'than I have over told to any
other person in the world. I wus
onco in love—onco only. I have
hail several applicants for my hand
since that time, but.they wei'c only
approaching the threshold of a deso
late house. Do yon know Edwin
Biunohard, Doctor ?”
“ What, the clothing morchunt of
that name ?” asked the doctor.
“Yes.”
“Of eon no 1 know him. And
were you engaged to Imn ?”
•*J t‘» when 1 was about twenty,
one years of age.” aswered Miss
Marloy, f.udly. “My parents were
both detuj, and it was bittorly op
posed by the whole circlo of my re
latives. An uncle, who had the
principal charge of my property, de
termined to prevent the marriage at
all hazards; and my lover’s name
was never mentioned by hini, or any
of chose relative, unless with a
fcnoer.” ■ ‘ ' ’ {$
“But was he not a very worthy
“Ho is now at tho head of a largo
business, and very highly ostoomod,”
remarked the doctor. “Had yon any
acquaintance with his wife ?”
“None whatever. Never saw hor.”
“Sho died about three years ago,”
continued the doctor. “I know,
something of Mr. Blanchard's his
tory. He was a kind and faithful
husband. Her doath has loft him
young- man ?” asked the, dooto?? quite aloiW. Sue had no family.!’
“He. is certainly a respectable arid
very much esteemed gentleman now,
and'is getting along in the wo$d re
markably well.” ( . 1
“Certainty he wits a worthy young
man l” roplied Adelade. “Ho had
it is truo, been brought Up as a
machauio, but I did not objoot to him
on that account. Ho hud a good
education, and was a gentleman in
appearance and manners. Ilis
means wore small at that time,
amounting to but a fow thousand
dollars, but he had enough to carry
on his business in a prosperous way.
But. just think,’ my relatives
would say, ‘of a young lady worth a
hundred thousand dollars marrying
a poor tailor, who only wants hor for
tnonoy. v
“Theso remarks, liowover, al
though they vexed uiid annoyed mo,
did not move me from my purpose;
aud I fully intended to marry Edwin
Blanchard, either with or withodt
their approbation, until a cousin of
mine, whom I did not then suspect,
but afterward discoverod had his
own oyo upon my hand and my for
tune, camo to mo one day, and as
sured mo, confidentially, that tho
young tailor, as houlways called him,
had been making some very careful
inquiries of him ns to how much I
was worth, and asked him if he
-thought I would let him have about
fifty thousand dollars of my money
immediately after' our marriage, to
put into his busiuoss. Those in
quiries the tailor had desired him to
consider confidential, and ho. hud
promised to do so, in onlor, ns he
oxpressod it,- to ‘let the fellow soil
himself cheap,’
“Looking him firmly in tho fuoo,
I laid : ‘Cousin Tom, afo you, up.*-
on your sacred honor, tolling me the
truth, in regard to Edwin Blan
chard*?’
“He not only declared that .ho
was, in the most solemn and posi
tive terms he could use, but added
that every one of my acquaintances
was laughing at the idea of my marry
ing that bailor, who only wanted rite
for my mouoy, and who had boon
tolling several of his friends that lie
would have the largest store and tho
handsomest stoqk of goods iu town;,
as soon as his wedding and tho hon
eymoon wore ovor.
“I behoved that Edwin Blanchard
loved rue, but tho thought of his
making those inquiries and remarks
in regard to me stung me to the
heart; and while, under the influence
of the resentful feelings thus sudden
ly awakoned, immediately after my
cousin left me, I^oxcd my pen and
wroto : 1 1 '■ ‘ ' ‘
“ ‘Mb. Blanchard : I cannot
and will not bo the wife of a uian
who wishes. to marry mb simjtly
to get theya control of my for
tune. I have loved you, and I sup
posed you loved me; but now I know
the whole truth, and am glad that
know led go 1ms coino to me bofore it
was too late.’ ”
“And what answer did you re
ceive?” asked Dr. Hendon, very
much interested.
“A very brief one. ‘Good-bye,
Adelaide.^ God bless you I and give
you a husband more worthy of you
that I am,’ There wore little blots
on tliut brief polo—tonr-dropn, I
knew—und I added more of my own.
I wonld Imvo given everything I had
in tho world if I could have recalled
that fatal letter; but it was too Into.
Since then I huvomet Mr. Blanch
ard a few times is company, but
linvo novor spoken twenty word*
with him, nor received a lino from
him.” »
“Woll,” said Miss Marlay, aftor a
short pause, and with a return of
hoi; tone of uttor despondency, “if
you oan do anything for my health,
Doctor, I hope you - will, «8pooially
as I lmvo made up my mind to go
abroad and spend a fow yours—that
is, if I am well enough to make it
aafo to attempt tho journey. I shall
take my young nteco, Clara Bronson,
with mo. She is a good girl, and I :
love hor- dovotedly.”
No further, allusion was made to
Mr. Blanchard; and Dr. Hendon had
no reason to supposo ,thut Adolaido
Imd the slightest^oxpeotation of ovor
seeing hoi old lover again. That lie
would ovor attempt to reue\y hie ac
quaintance with her sho had no
ground for supposing, and despite
tho fooling of deep and Listing rogrot
that sho had expressed ut tho hasty
and unwiso (stop that had wrecked
her happiness, and Boomed destined
to shorten her hfo, Dr. Hendon
knew onough of her proud and sen
sitivn nature to fool assured that sho
would ou no account convoy, direct-
ly or indireotly, any iutimutioh to.
tho man sho had onoo loved, and
never could forget, tlmt a ronowal of
his attentions would bo ncooptod.
Whothor tho doctor wus ycty much
in need of a now overcoat at . thet
particular time is a point in rogard
to whioh nothing has over been de
finitely known. But for some rea
son it oocuroi to him that ho wonld
like to lmvo ono, and on his, way
home he called at .Edwin Blanch
ard’s establishment for that pur
pose.
Two days later, a card, bearing
the name of the now prosperous
merchant, was handed to Miss Mar
lay by tho servant, who said :
“The gentleman is in the parlor
below; but I told him you woro sick,
and would not bo able to see him.”
“Yon should not lmvo told him
any suoh thing,” said tho invalid,
suddenly rising, and us if filled with
a new life. Thou sho further amaz
ed the girl by saying :
“Go back and tell Mr. Blanchard
tlmt I will see him in a - fow mo
ments, and thon return and assist
ino to’dross.”
The amount of courting required
in this caso was considerably
Limn would othorwiso have been
needed, in consequent of mutual
willingnoss to give and take credit
for tbo love-making that bad been
dono cloven years before. The story
that mischief-milking cousin hud
told was fully explained, with the
added remark :
“The poor, unfortunate follow has
since died in a foreign laud in mis
cry and want.”
“Not a single word p.vor passed
between him and me, Adolaido,”
said Mi. Blanchard, “out of whioh
any suoh story could have boon
made. Nor could I imagine what
had led yoo tosuppoBO tlmt I desired
to marry you for tho sake of your
fortune.”
“Your restoration to health 1ms
been remarkable rapid,” suid Dr.
Hendon, with a good-humored
twinkle in his eye, addressing Mrs.
Blanchard about two months after
hor murriuge.
“Well, yes, Doctor, I am quite
well now,” said the lady, with
blush and a laugh.
“Doctors’ prescriptions are
quietly. Thon with an aroh smilo
dimpling her ohqeks, sho added :
“Was tho new overcoat you bought
tho day you first called on mo, a fow
months ago, ontiroly satisfactory,
Doctor?”
‘That coat, Mrs. Bihnqbard,”
said the physioian, with affected
dignity, as lie rose and bowed him

A Poor Alan's Gratitude.
A friend of ours,, a physioian. who
livos at Flushing, tolls us this touch
ing story: A poor laboror who
lived in a cottage near Flushing,
was taken sick, and rcooivitig no

was obliged to pawn most of their
spare furnituro to raise funds for the
support of the family. Whon this

from going to tho poor bouse, which

ed him gratuitously saw the distress
of the family, and, by relating the
case to a benevolent gont4enmn of
Iho neighborhood, obtained from
that porson asmullsutn of money,
which ho applied for tho rolief of his
patient, and thus put over the diffi
culty As the spring iidvunced, the
pyor man recovorod, and was able to
resume his usuul occupations. The
yonng physioian had alrnbat forgot
ten tho circumstance, When one
day he received a visit’ ffom his pa
tiont, who carried with him a small
basketfull of an early vegetable
raisod in liis garden. “I have noth -
