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 self from the room, “was purchased confidentially 1”— New York Lod- m* \ m - ■ 1 1 ' ' Very Temperate Editors, From the Philadelphia Press.

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 wages during his illness his wife was obliged to pawn most of their spare furnituro to raise funds for the support of the family. Whon this sotiroo of incotno was nearly exhaust ed, there seem to be no alternative from going to tho poor bouse, which tho poor man wan very roluctiint to. do. Our modical friend who attend 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 - iiig to givo you, but?
