Where the Plaster Was.
A certain doctor (rather a modest young
man by the way) was recently called in to
sees lady who had been taken suddenly 111.
The doetor found the application of a mus
tard plaster to be necessary, and accordingly
went to work and made one, and laid it care
fully by, to prepare the lady for Its spplica
ion. Every thing waa ready and the doctor
sought the plaster, but strange tosay.it had
disappeared. The doetor and the negro
nurse searched high snd low, in every pro
bable place, for the missing plaster, but in
vain; it waa gone, no one could tell where.
The nurse had not seen it since the doctor
laid it on the chair. There was no other al
ternative but to go to work and make anoth-
s accordingly done. But still
the question would present itself to all, what
had become of that plaater! The circum
stance of its having been spirited away be
gan to tell unfavorably on the sick lady's
nervous sensibility; bat the doctor could not
help it, he coahJ not explain the mystery.
The doctor in a deen brown study oreoared
t0 leave, and stood up before the fireto earm
himaelf befo'e et countering the cold with
out. Through the force of a vulgar habit,
he parted his coat tat. behind, when nurse,
display ing sbout four inches of ivory, said:
i foun de plaater, maaea doctor.'
'Where?' eagerly asked the doctor, ahero
is it!'
'You got it ahind.'eaid the nurse, stiM
grinning.
The doetor clasped hie hard bebind an!
there it was sticking fast to the seat of lue
breeches, where be sat down on it when it
was lying on the chair. This wss too much
