warm friend nml a frequent compan

In about one year, however, elrcuin
UtiinccM of a biiHlnesH nature Induced
ihe doctor to remove bin professional
iclatloiiM from this place to the beau
tiful Inland town of ('.. in Uookltighiim
County, some nix or eight in Mrs distant
from mid north of Umdomlerry.
Thenceforth this pleasant ucipialut
nnceshlp, so lumpily Inaugurated, was
Interrupted and broken up, and for a
yei'lod of ten years these dignitaries
were so immersed in professional duties
that they had never met.
K.irly one warm Kahhutu morning In
Tuly the doctor had a professional call
to a neighboring town about five miles
distant in a southerly direction; he mi
rwiTcd the summons, nml was return'
Inn home near the hour of the morning
church service.
The day was exceedingly warm; tho
!rl,,'iit liion.lug sun, mounting aloft to
jiis noonday post, was pouring his
jilcivttig rays aslant upon earth, man
ami beast with almost wltlierlug neat.
The doctor, ns though to take ad
.vantage of every mitigating elrcuni'
stance, had slackened the speed of his
horse, and was slowly and leisurely
ascending the rising bluff or swell
which overlooks the village of V. from
the south. While thus diligently pur
suing his Journey home, nnd slowly
approaching the summit of the range.
lie could distinctly hear the chimes of
various bells In the distance as they
pealed forth their solemn nnil urgent
voice of Invitation alike to the devout
nnd humble worshipper and the list
less, gay and fashionable church-goer,
The sum lint reached, be could uts
tlnctly see the groups of citizens as
they approached the several churches
of C. from their rural homes among
the hills In various quarters of the
rowu, scattered along the highways
nnd pursuing their way thither, uttlred
In various styles of dress, surrounded
bv equlpnge fashionable or not, accord
lug to the taste and ability of the Indi
vidual, und moved by widely different
motives.
At this point the doctor's attention
was drawn towards the foot of the hill
In the direction of !., where a carrlnge
was approaching with fearful rapidity,
and the rider or driver was urging his
horse forward with active demonstra
tlons of voice nnd string. The doctor
at once supposed the occupant to be
some hasty messenger or sickness,
death or woe, lu tiucst of medical uid
and accordingly nerved himself for the
shock.
At length the parties uiPt, nnd lo
the messenger of sickness und calamity
is no longer an object of terror und
alarm, but a minister of peace, un
angel of mercy, hurrying ou to pro
claim glad tidings in another laud, unci
Ueli vera nee to other (Jeutlles.
It Is the doctor's quondam friend, the
Methodist parsou, the Uev. Mr. 10.
Recognition nt once took place; they
were rejoiced to meet ngaln, to see
each other ou terrestrial ground, und
hastily Inquired for each other s wel

But why," says the doctor, "why are

Jehu style? What means all this?
And your hore why, sir, he is all

a fine horse here; he . Is a very nice
fellow; 1 got him In a swap a few days
since, and I think 1 miuie a great trade
he is a splendid animal una a grea
roadster.
"1 think very likely," returned the
doctor, feeling n little abashed by such
jocky logic by a clergyman on his way
to the pulpit.
The parsou, continuing, said: "Doc
tor, I think you made a mistake when
you chose your profession."
"Why so?" was the inquiry.
"lleciiuse you should have been a
minister."
"Oh, no," says the doctor, "I nm not
the man for ihat noble position, that
high calling. 1 have ninny reasons to
nrge us objections, three lu particular.
First, I nm not a man of sutllclently
largo ability; again, 1 fear I have not
grace enough."
"But what next?" said tho parsou.
"Well," replied the doctor, "1 do uot
make a good trade when I swap

The parson struck for the Geiitlls

SORROWS OF THE STUPID.
Ihonli a iiMiriiMy B"1IkpI Thrf Are
Vc ry Ili nl.
We have M hearing luti-ly of th
nrw f n IlP'ii," but we mlRh't with
'iinl T'l! f.'Urire on the rurae of stu-
It'v -,i n'rt to iitie no rrinn a wor.l,
w'll .iy the nils'"!'! of stupldl'ty. In
hi ae of philanthropy we are ror evT
't: exhorted abjut the rights or t
"oiiS.'d. Let us now bewill the sor-r-v.
of the s'tupld! There Is no doubt
tMi, though not freneraJly recognised,
are very real. Stupid people re
nuble both to themselves and to
oi.tiorj. Thy ean ns more help belrnT
ill In mind than sn Invalid cam help
be'ii weak In body. But wherro the
vk man Is generally deluged wVth sym
I'vhv in his woe, and very ofteiwends
'v growing proud of his maladies "be
si'iWiif a sort of personal distinction on
h.m the poor stupid, an equally Inno
cent victim, feels ashamed of his dulU
i. and Is looked down upon for tha
iiie defect. Of course he would no
I'.k Ills friends to say so In so many
vJ, "I am very sarry for you for
t-'ivsr ro null; It must he a great trla,! to
vxi." btt he suffers uii 'the same from
Uok of nympathy, and from the feel,
inn lha.t he Is thought Utile of, for what
he tMnn.t help. And perhaps all th
Uin he Is -trylnu to carry on the busl
nem of life under adverse conditions aa
bravely as the Invalid Who makes an ef
for: to do hi duty desplte his bodily
weakness. The litter almost Invaria
bly receives a full meed of praJse. Not
s.i the other. And therefore we hereby
d-elre to say a word In advooaey of our
pior, dull friend, and cry 'Bravo!" to
the creaky Uttle vessel that dgnts Its
way onward In the tee?h of wind ana
wive.
But stupidity !s suoh a large word, and
Is applied 'to the deficiencies of so many
species of Its victims, thait we must try
to distinguish between them a Mittlo.
1'aradoxlcal as W may sound, the worst
eases of it do not deainnd the most rym
paihy. There are leople In the world
who are too stupid to know tht they
are stupid, and therefore not sensitive
about their defects. They are as those
born blind, never knowlmg tho pleasures
which sight beatowa. We have all met
them from time o time, people without
an Idea In their heails. Who see no mora
out of their dull unimaginative eyes as
they stare out Itvto the world, than th
maft bare and obvious faots; to whom
life Is like a narrow rxwn containing
Just the furniture necessary for exist
ence, but with no view worth mention
ing out of window. Circumstances make
comparatively Utitle difference to them.
Bend them round the world and snow
them the nine wonders of It. and they
will come back as dull as when they
set out. And yet, tiresome as they are,
we cannot help feeling sorry for them,
They may be unoonsolous of their loss,
but H makes the world a very uninter
esting place for them. And times do oc
cur when the fact of It makes them thor
oughly 111 at ease and uncomfortable,
any one will know Who has observed a
really fltupkd person, who ha strayed,
accidentally as Vt were, lnto a circle of
brilliant; talkers. He feels nonplussed
and silenced by the thrust and parry,
the repartee, and the play of the satire
that go on around him. He cannot make
out what the rest are all driving ait. He
takes the Ironloal .remarks literally, and.
If he speaks at all. expresses his ponder
ous dissent. He looks bored at the Joke,
and annoyed with the Jokers. If ap
pealed to, he has nothing to say. In a
word, he feels thoroughly "out of tt.
and that Is a sensation that none can
enjoy. And his mind must be dark with
an utter deiuiity of dullness If he doe
not perceive with a pang his own stupid
Ity.
Certainly poor Miss Bates, In Miss
Austen's "Emma, was aware of hers
upon occasion, as at the silent party on
Boxhlll, when In desperation FranK
Churchill proposed tfivat the company
should say "one thing very clever, ..
two things moderaitely clever, or three
things very dull Indeed"" Three
things very dull Indeed." That will Just
do for me, you know. I shall be sure to
say three dull things as soon as ever I
open my mouth, fha'n't I?" Emma could
not resist. "Ah, ma'am, but there may
be a difficulty. Pardon me, but you will
be limited as to the number only three
at once." Miss Batus is not quick
enough to caitch her meaning cut first;
but when she" does, her gentle and well-
merited reproof to Emma for her lmper
tlnence, and her slight blush as she
sppke showed that though "It could not
anger. It could pain her." "I must make
myself very disagreeable, or she would
not have said guoh a thing to an old
friend," she says. If talkative stupidity
Is wearisome, like Miss Ba.tes's, or Mrs.
Allen's, In "Northanger Abbey" that
worthy woman who reiterates the same
poor remark over and over again, like
the note of a cuckoo mum stupidity hi
equally trying. The stolid folk who ilt
and sit and say nothing who require
all topics to be supplied, and !rop them
as soon as started; the sort of people
who take out their knitMng at a con
cert, and cllok away at their needles
through the noblest or the most pa-.hetlo
strains of music lie heavy on our souls.
But then, as they miss so mucin of the
sparkle of life, we must try to be sorry
for them too. London Spectator.
Band Haths.
The mud baths of Marlenbad have
slipped over to this country on a sum.
mer vacation. They have settled all
along the coast, climbed up Into the
mountains and dropped down to the
dales, not forgetting to stop over at the
country homes and little by-places.
What does It all mean? Why, that the
foreign Idea of getting beauty from dirt
has traveled to America, and that the
belles of the summer have fastened up
on It with their pretty hands and havo
adopted It as thlr own.
But about sand baths. They come
down to the beach every day, and, select.
lng a smooth place on the and, spread
themselves out and take things com
fortably. The game Is to sit as deep and
as hat In the sand as possible wlohout
getting down where It Is damp. Tho
hotter the sand so much tne better.

It Is advlsaiole not to think at all dur.
lng this operation, tlu; two hours' sand
bath, because the i.erves need a rest and
this absolute uultt Is called a nerve

tho rest of mind and body gives a mus

The pamphlet laws for 1895 ire
r;aly for distribution and Chicl Clerk
Gearliart of the state department, has
already shipped mote than half to the
prothonotaries, county officers and
justices of the peace. The volume is
the largest one that has ever been pub
lished under the new constitution,
there being about 200 pages more of
the laws than in any previous edition.
There were one hundred and eighteen
more laws and fifty-three more resolu
tions approved in 1895 than in 1893
and that was the largest volume np to
that date.
The number of bills vetoed in 1895
exceed those of any former year, being

Believe the Editors,
In a court room a lawyer may call
a witness a liar, scoundrel, villain or a
thief, and no one makes complaint
when the Court adjourns, but if a
newspaper prints such a reflection on
a man's character there is a libel suit
or perhaps a dead editor. This is
owing to the fact that the people be
lieve what the editor says.

Are not women naturally as light
hearted, brave, and hopeful as men ?
Yes ; but woman's organism Is dif
ferent from man's.
Women in per
fect or good health
are rarely victims
of this symptom.
Women nearly
monopolize the
blues, because their
peculiar ailments
promote theni.
When the female
organs fail to per
form their func

when the dreaded
female complaints
appear, there Is
shownnervousness,
sleeplessness, falnt

headache, bearing

causlngthe dreaded
"let-me-alone" and
"all -gone" feelings.
When the woman does not understand
wh-t the matter Is, and her doctor can
not or will not tell her, she grows morose
and melancholy; that's the blues.
