A BIT OP EXPERIENCE.
I have met with a good many people
In jojgingo'er life's varied way.
I've encountered the clover, Iho simple,
Tho crabbed, the grayo and the gay;
I have travelid with beauty, with virtue,
I have been with the ugly and bad,
I hayo laughed with the ones who were
merry
And wept with the ones who were sad.
One thing I have learned on my journey
Ne'er to judge one by what ho appears,
The eyes that6eem sparkling with laughter
Oft battle to keen back the tears.
And long, sanctimonious faces
Hide olten t ho souls that are vile,
While -the heart that Is merry and cheerful
la oaen tho Ireest from guile.
And I've learned not to look for perfection
In ono of our frail human kind.
In hearts the most gentle and loving
Some blemish or fault we fin find:
But yet I ha vo ne'er found the creature
bo low, so drliravea. or so mpnn.
But had some good Impulse, some virluo
mat 'mong his bad trails might be seen
And, too, I havo learned tho most friend
ships
Wo molto are as brittlo as class.
Just let a tevcrse oyertako us
Our "Irlcnds" on tho "other side" nasn.
But, ahl 1 have found some few loyal
Some hearts ever lovinsr and truel
And tho joy and the neaca thev hnv.
brought mo
llavo cheered ma my whole journey
through.

"He has bouses to renton Brandvwine

"Very good," rejoined the doctor,

Tho next morninn Dr. Paul Vn(nn.
took from a drawer a strong horse-shoe
magnet. lie rubbed steadilr nrmn n,
blades of his pocket knife with one of
the poles of the magnet, tnoroucblv
electrifyiug it. He purchased a paper of
very fine needles at an adjoining store,
then set out for tho residence of his pa
tient. He found the latter to be a man well
advanced iu life, intelligent and genial
so genial, iu fact, that the doctor won
dered at there being bo much of the bus

once opened a conversation about the
bouses on Brandywine street, in wbioh
Mr. Branson earnestly joined, and vivid
ly explained points iu the speculation.
"Sir, could I trouble you for a drink
of water?" the doctor suddenly asked.
"Certaiuly," replied the other. "Kate,

"Ventnor," supplied the doctor.
"A glass of water," completed Mr.
Branson.
He was addressing his daughter, who
had called upon the doctor the evening
before, and she was seated In oue of the
bay windows. She pot aside her book,
left the room, and returned with ol...
of water, which the doctor accepted with

He raised the glass to bis lips, and
then a well-foigned look of nstonlshment
orossed bis face. He ejected some of
the water.plucked at his moustache, then
stiode to tho window, where be seemed
absorbed in an examination of the con

"Who filled this glass?" bo asked.
"Richard," replied Miss Branson,
"Who is Richard?" asked the doctor.
"A domestic."
"Send hini here at once," peremptorily
ordered the doctor,
The servant came into the room, pro
ceded by Miss Branson.
"Did you fill this glass with water?"
the doctor sharply asked.
"Yea, sab.' answered tho mulatto, a
harmless-looking fellow with high cbeek
nones nnd watery eyes.
"Did jou drop any noedlcs into It?''
asked the dootor.
"Golly, not" exclaimed the man.
'Dar's no needles In it. It's an old
cranky notion of Mr. Branson's. He
keens us all on edce about It."
"Ob, bo does, eh?'" frowned the dootor.
"Well, it is no fancy."
"Dar's no needles in the water," do
clared the man.
"We'll see," said the doctor, as he
thrust tbo mncnetlzed knife-blade into
the glass. "What are tbeso, pray?" in-

"Dey is needles, sab, sure as you live I''

"Your services end here with to-dayl"
tho doctor sternly said. "If there is
any rnouey due yon Mr. Branson will
pay it."
Mr. Branson and the doctor conversed
for an hour upon various topics. Tho
old gentleman was wonderfully pleased
with liim, and oordial iu bis invitation
to bim to call again.
Miss Branson accompanied the doctor
to the door,
"Your father Is cured," he said.
"Do you think so?" she asked, her
handsome eyes on his face. "Wo will
wait a week, That was nn admirable
ruse. Tako this, please: it is simnlv a

A roll of something was placed In his
nana.
"Thank yon," ho gratefally said.
"You were rather hard on Richard,"
reminded Miss Branson, with a smile.
"I wronged him," admitted the doo
tor. "But- I had to assail some one.
Can you explain the matter to bim, and
procure bim a situation elsewhere?"
I will try," she replied.
The doctor bowed and then hurried
back to his office. At tho end of a week
he received a second voluntary fee from
his fair friend.

was unspeakably miserable.
"Half a dozen of us are going for a

And not nanslns to consider the mat.
