The provincial young' man has never possessed any attractions for me, and it is certain that if I had not gone np north 'to stay with Daisy Drysdale, I should never have known so well such a strik ing specimen of the type as Dr. Wed more. He was not a had fellow, bnt oh, he was so pleased with himself! Yonr provincial, indeed, is rarely modest in the limited circle of country town society ja voting man is pursued with too much ^pertinacity and ardor to have any doubts in his own mind as to his personal desir ability and manifold charms. Br. Wedmore was a stoutish young •man of thirty-two, with nondescript fea tures and a slow, portentous manner. He had a large and increasing practice in the suburb of North aw, where his medical skill was in constant request •among the spinsters and widows of that isomewhat damp and chilly neighbor hood. So highly esteemed were his ser vices in the sickroom that these ladies •would send for him at all hours of the day or night, until the good doctor in eelf defense took to sending his red Jhaired assistant to some of his more Vagrant malades imaginaires. Daisy Drysdale's husband waa a manu facturer in Mndchester, and, like other manufacturers, he lived as far away tfroin the factory chimneys of that thriv ing city as possible. So his brand new red brick mansion lay on the other side of the suburb of Northaw, and the so ciety of North aw supplied nearly all Mrs. Drysdale's intellectual recreation. Poor Daisy! How she mined London And the Upper Bohemia! She had a jgenios for giving little dinners, bnt of what use was that, seeing the component elements of which her parties were to be henceforth composed? Still she was not to be baffled, and Mrs. Drysdalt con stantly entertained- The night after I ian-ived one of these dinners was given nn my honor, and i was sent down to •the dining room with Dr. Wedmore. I shaH not easily forget that night. Accustomed to the manifestly insincere ^gnshings of London young men, I was ^astonished at the naive manner in which f~*sthis country ^Esculapius tried in vain to hide his sudden admiration. It came »out in every word and look. It was a case of "love at first sight" on the part of Dr. Wedmore. Before I left the din inir table he had offered to lend me a horse, proposed that he should drive me to a meet ten miles off and expressed a wish that I should know his three sis ters. But the next time I saw him my head was tied up in a flannel shawl and my -throat was so swollen I could hardly +«peak. The doctor had been called in professionally. The climate of Mud «chestar had been too much for me, and I was dawn witfc a malignant sore -throat. The doctor came every day, and once "he came twice, to work a patent in haler and paint my throat with some mysterious compound. He constantly changed the treatment it was as if he could never do enough. He even used to bring me flowers—and who ever heard of a doctor taking his patient flowers? Daisy was convulsed with amusement She said that when she was ill she sometimes used to have to ,send for Dr. Wedmore two or three times before he appeared, he was so At the end of a week 1 was better, and in ten days I was quite well. I really felt very grateful, for I knew that the doctor had saved me by his constant care from a dangerous illness. I wonder if he took my gratitude for —something stronger? Anyway, as 1 told Christina when she scolded me for the whole affair, it was not my fault. I hadn't fallen in love with Dr. Wed more—that's all. The thing tame quickly to a crisis, i We were all invited to spend an evening at the doctor's house. In the north they s have a mysterious meal called "high tea," which is apparently a source of 110 little comfort and even of self righteoua ness. It enables the partakers thereof i to allude witheringly to the habit of ,flate dinners" indulged in by the inhab it ants of the south. And so, if you are invited out in Northaw, be sure you will be regaled on tea and cold chichen (fear ful mixture), ou hot cakes, jam, mar malade and currant buns. To thi* even ir.g meal, then, we were bidden by Dr. Wedmore. He lived alone with his sisters, who were curiously like him. They were all stontish, with nondescript features and had slow and somewhat pompous man ners. To see all four of them together inclined one to indecent mirth, it was impossible to be more worthy, more dull and more self satisfied. The Misses Wedmore were considered to have a pretty taste for art they painted .every thing within reach with sprawling red roses or startling white daisies, and the doctor was of opinion that his sisters' ar tistic talent was of the first order. Miss Ada, too, sang songs by Pinsuti and Mil ton Wellings. The doctor liked Mia-j Ada's vocal efforts while Miss Emily was literary, Bhe assidocmsly read Mb* B4»a Lyall and Eider Haggard, and of time authors we discoursed solemnly imtfl "tea^ was announced. The air was full of ominous portents. The doctor's manner, when hew invited me Cor the second time to partake of cold chickec ox presntod npor me with '1 1 f? I! I," W/. -v%4 •ypg *3*?:^Wf1 £*3ftr Sp1!^*'rjR-W i northern hospitality the carraut cake was full of certain protecting pride. while a humbly conquering expression' was in his eyes when they rested upon me. It was with ••intention," as the French say, that he showed me the pho tograph album, full of aunts and cous ins, after tea, and the good doctor looked quite sentimental when later on Miss Ada warbled a romance, with a waltz iuwmpaniment, entitled "The Love Tha. Will Never Fade." I began to feel cold all down my back. Five times did 1 get up, cross the room, engage either of the solemn Misses Wedmore in feverish conversation—! always ended by finding the doctor at my elbow. At last I resigned myself to iny fate and sat down to talk to him. 1 imagiued that the state of drains in the juburbs of Northaw would be a safe subject and one unlikely to lead to a declaration of a tender nature, bnt in? this, it appeared, I was mistaken. We jot on to the subject of fevers, and to convince me on a certain point the doc- jj tor suggested a reference to one of the medical books in his surgery. Once in side the little room, which lay just across the passage, Dr. Wedmore shut the door and advanced toward me with that par ticular expression which is so intolerable in a young man one doesn't care for. I put on my most indifferent manner and inspected with much interest the rows of medical books in their glass cases. "So kind of yon," I said hurriedly to fill up the dreadful pause, And sure enough, by the 10:15 I went. As the Yorkshire fields flew before me on my rapid jonrney back to dear old London, the whole thing seemed like some nightmare from which 1 had just awoke. Great heavens! From what had I not escaped? A lifetime of high tea, suburban gossip and provincial self suf ficiency, of rose bedecked door panels, the novels of Mr. Rider Btaggard and "The Love That Will Never Fade." 1 am very fond of Daisy Drysdale, bnt it will be a long time before 1 again trust myself to the seductions of that suburb o!

"Trouble," he said at last, "how can anything be a trouble that is done for you? I wish you would let me tell yon how much I—how much I" A sharp rap at the door interrupted this speech. A servant came in. "Please, sir, Mr. Brown is very bad, and Mrs. Brown says will yon come at once, and bring some of the drops, and Bhe hopes you won't be long." "A three mile drive," said Dr. Wed more. with a sigh, "and I shall not see you again tonight" He took my hand and held it fast. "1 will bring the book tomorrow morning," he said. "Shall I have a chance of seeing you alone? Try to be alone when I come," and, wrenching my hand violently, the doctor disappeared.

It is quite a surprise to learn that six of the famous Beecher family are still living and that the oldest, Dr. EdwaTd Beecher. recently celebrated his eight v ninth birthday in a quiet way at Ins home in r.moklyn. His surviving Mi ters are Mr°. Harriet Beefier Stowa Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker and Mrsj. Mary Beecher Perkins, and the brother® are Rev. Charles Beecher, of Mysox, Pa., and Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, of Elmira. No family in the world is more fa mous, and the fact that they were famous so long ago makes it seem as if the sur vivors must be very old, but in fact Ed- While in Jacksonville the Alton riots and death of Love joy occurred, and Dr. Beecher wrote a spirited account of the affair. He was threatened with punish ment as an abolitionist, but never flinched. He went next to Boston and preached till 1855, producing in that time some much discussed books. He then took the pastorate of a Congrega tional church in Galesburg,Ill8.,and re mained till his seventieth year, when he retired and located in Brooklyn. At the age of eighty-six he had a leg crushed by a street car so that amputation watf necessary he bore jt heroically and made a good recovery. In his work on "Eternal Punishment" be declares against belief in it, and in his "Con* flict of Ages" there is a fanciful, almost fantastic, theory about this world being a sort of hospital for the correction of cure of souls, and that we all survived in a previous state. As he knows as much about the last world and the neat world as any other man, his specula tions &re quite entertaining, 1 1 -si 1 1 I DR. EDWARD BKBCBSB. ward Beecher was born at EagfKaiap ton, Long Island, Aug. 27, 1803. The famous family included in its members a father and six sons, who entered the ministry, one of them becoming the most famous pulpit orator in the land and four daughters, one of whom wrote a world famous book, and another of whom was widely known as an edu cator. Dr. Beecher was the second son and third child of his father, and after an active life as teacher, pastor, college president, author and editor for more than half a century he is still in fair health and vigor, taking a lively interest in all the affairs of the country. He entered Yale college at fifteen and was graduated in 1822, then went to Andover Theological semin&ry, after some years of teaching, and preaching was fleeted first dent of the college at Jacksonville, His., and located there in 1830. He had mar ried two years before, and his 1l4!!a,f0ur years younger than he, wait withhim to what was then the remote weal, near the hanks of the Mississippi. Only twenty-seven years old, President Beecher took up the work of starting a great educational institution. He re mained its president for twelve years, and in that period sixty-two students were graduated. AT.tr. HALTINO TRAVELERS. In 1882 many a town in the south aid west was guarded most efficiently, and in 1849 it was so common as to be a rec ognized custom. In that part of tUfe south near the Mississippi the peoplf often erected temporary booths or opett sheds in the woods. Any traveler seized by any sickness having the slightest Mr semblance to cholera had to go to one of these booths. He received medical tention and fairly good care, and afteflf his recovery or death the booth and all his bedding was bnrned. ^»^|B9 Took UigClmiitYit for Tn'«iitv-Uv«i A Captain Blondeil at Oxford, Ala., offered twenty-five dollars to any mi who would get into a bout and allow it to be blown up with dynamite PrtMilglotta Kail of Rain.
