The Doctor's Joke.
'rnUE OLD DOCTOR," was what
X they called him. His mustache
was gray, he was past forty-flvo, and, not
being married, was considered solitary.
It mattered little to him. The care of his
patients mado him'uright and active. His
profession was sufficient for his wants.
He was the loved and respected physician
for half the families in the place, and he
never wanted for company and friendship.
Why he never married had been the specu
lation of the village. The subject was now
threadbare, and they had ceased to talk of
it. He saw much of female socioty, for ho
was one of those fine rare natures that
make ' brothers to girls.'
His general good nature, and, above all,
his ability to keep secrets, made him in
deed the brother to all the girls in 'Wau
chusetta. They came to hint with their
little pains and ills, and their little heart
breakings and love-sorrows. For one he
had pills and advice ; for the other,' a ready
ear, counsel, help and confidence.
No wonder Sally Dopford came tearful
and angry to him in her little difficulty
with Sam Barett. A small rage made her
the more attractive
As the doctor heard her woeful tale, ho
could hardly fail to study her face with ad
miration. Being twenty .years his junior, rather
pretty, reasonably well educated, sensible
and quite ready for a joke at any time, she
preferred the bright side of everything.
Hence her present sorrow. She did not
wish to bo ' bothered' as she expressed it,
with a serious love affair. It was a trouble,
vexation, an interference with her pleas
ure, and
" Well there ! It's entirely dreadful,
and I don't want it, nor him.' Just as I
was fairly out of school and preparing to
have a splendid time with the girls, then
this thing comes along, and I don't like it,
" That is so, doctor. Is it not?"
The doctor bad no immediate reply to
make. lie would consider the case
and her. ' i'
There was something so attractive about
her face, that it was no araallwondor that
Sam Barett, the last beaux left in the vil
lage, was desperately in love with her.
She frowned. He was so slow. '' " "
" Come, sir, parade your wisdom. : I can
pay for your advice, and I want it."
" Go to bed early, get up late, and sleep
itoff.' , ' - : - ' " " '
"That's very good for him. Toll liim
that, please. As lor me it does not help
me a bit. There it stands. He will pur
sue ma with attontioiiH. 1 I don't want1
'"Soubhim." '-'. " '
""He's not smibable. Snubbing falls
harmless ' on his good natured tempera
ment." I tried It and it don't work. He
took it like a lamb." :"' "
1 "Tell him you're bot at home."
" 1 nen be leaves his card, and be says
he will call again, and he is sure to do so."
" Poor boy. ' He has it ' very bad this
time." The symptoms aro alarming." ':
"They are, doctor, they are, and I don't
like it. It's a nuisance and bother, and
besides that, I hate him.' There"
Peel better, tny dear?" ' ' -'a "'
" " Yes ; for I'm getting mad. I feel tike
breaking things, and" '
'. " You do.i I Yon do it all the timo. Poor
boy. I'm not ' surprised. Here you go
about the place, being attractive as possi
ble, and then you break all oar hearts, and
cold us for jt.", , ... , ,,, , 4
, ," It's not my wit, I don't,, make my.
. self." ' ' ,
" Well no not exactly.'? ,
' " For heaven's sake, doctor, why don't
you do something? Advise, me." , ,
" Get married.",) j,, ,, ;.,
V Doctor, yon are too hateful" . , , ,
t' I presume so ; doctors always are. But
that's my advice ; get married; then be
can no longer trouble you." . ...
"Now, you're silly, doctor, and I shan't
tell you any more. You don't care a straw
for my troubles, after all, and -" , ,
Here she began to be teary, and threat
- ened to have 'a " good cry."
" My dear, ray advice is Dot so bad. You
must admit that if you wero engaged he
would leave you at ouce.". ,.
" I suppose so."
" Yes. Theu get married ; or, it you
don't care to. go so far, arrange with some
young snan to be engaged temporarily.
Then your Sam ,
" He's not my Sam, thank lieaven 1"
" Then your Sam will take uuto himself
another wife, and when all' is seoure you
.can, break your engagement, and all will
be serene again." .- . ,
"What an absurd .ideal Jump iuto the
water for the sake of escaping droweiing
.1 fcifl you I don't want anybody's atten
tion. It would te a dreadful trial tote
.engaged at all, even in self-defense."
"Rot if the other party would agree to
Jjcep himself away aud leud a diamond
ring 'far a while, and play the part of the
.distant Intended."" ,'.. i.. ... ;i
"I dut't knew, doctor ; it is a desperate
sneasum. But it will be effectual.'' :
"Ofoomne." '.!,' i x i t .'I'...
"It wduUi be rather: amusing to go home
jtjid buiHuo i that I . wits engaged. ; I
should .liavetoteil) mother how it (tally
tood, aud father would be, of ;coursi,'lt
jnti the ifcift The rest need not kuow.
Goodnww 1 what a scattering there would
be, and how all the old ladies would talk."
"You need not care. It would be easy
to act your part, and in a fovr weeks all
would be comfortably over and everything
would be serene again."
" I declare, doctor, the more I think of
it, the more amusing It seems. It is very
wicked, no doubt, but then the case is a
hard one " '
" And demands beroio remedies.'.'
" Precisely. Now the next atrip is to get
up a good lover. I Bhall not expect much.
Any straw man that s convenient will an-
. i .
swer. ISO you Know oi one, uuuwji
good one ? He must be nice, and all that,
or I couldn't endure It.""" """"'
u Well no I cannot think of one just
now. l ucre are none living near mav am
available."
" Doctor, I have an idea."
" How startling ! Bring it . forth that I
may admire it."
"You be the lover."
" All right, I'm willing." '
"Then we're engaged."
" Yes for the present."
"In fun, you know."
"Oh, of course. Till Sam gets married.
or you wish to break it." .
"Where's the ring?"
" Oh,. I have one up stairs an old one.
I kuoDose that will answer to cover our
little arrangement."
" How splendid of you, doctor."
" Now you must go. Old Sirs. Davis is
comlnz with her neuralgia. Bhall I tell
her?"--.
"Tell her what?" ,
" Of the engagement."
" Yes. Just hint it, aud before night
the town will know it."
And they did. How they snatched up
the stray morsel of gossip and stirred it
into their tea and their sugar. Fortunate
circumstances. It soured on their stom.
achs the news, not the tea. Even the
sugar and good Bohca did not save them
from exnrcssimr with beautiful freedom
just what they thought about it.
" Such an old goose to be taken in by
that desitrninc Sally Depford. Tho minx !
The littlo contriving, artful "
Such language. It is not pretty. His
tory like this cannot stoop to report all that
was said concerning the lost new engage
ment.' , As for Sam Barett, he faded beau
tifully away, and actually disappeared.-
He suddenly found a tip-top chance for
business, you know in New, York. Ought
to go light on and fix it up. ,tlI,. ,. .,
His parting with Sally was not particu
larly affecting. She . wouldn't allow it.
That curious, antique, diamond ring flash
ed in his astonished eyes, and his affection
melted softly away into nothing, like the
cloud of. white steam under which be es
caned in the 8:40 p. in. express. . The whis
tle echoed, among the Wauchusetta bills,
and the gentle Sally beard it without a
sigh, ;,,',; ', y, . ,v.i ui- . ' -v. . . ;
; Some of the other girls could hardly for-
give her for driving away , the only availa
ble young man in the place, but they sooth
ed their larceratcd. feelings with the sweet
hope, that as the, summer vacation was
near: at ; hand, anew, importation of city
visitors from Boston, npd New York might
make it gay again, ',and spread wide once
mote the, matrimonial horizon. ,M( .. ,J: .
The suddennoss and , complete success pf
the victory rathor surprised the victor.
She had ' succeeded beyond expectations.
Now that it was all over, she would return
the riug, and-p-well, no, perhaps jtbe might
keep- it one mora nighU Cousin,. Mary
Depford was coming to, spend the night
and it would be rather amusing to .wear
the ring a little longer, and let her into the
secret. - She would return the ring in the
morning. . ni i . ? -i i h
Pleased with this unspoken plan,' she
set the ring . firmer on her finger, and pre
pared toreoeive hto eompauy. i ,-i , ,
: .Cousin Jary Depford was ebarmed with
the Aug, and was profuse in her eongratu
lationsv .',.'-,' ' !!-..!. j. -I
.," It's all joke, you kuow, sear." , -; ...
"A joke?! ,.' - ' - .
"Yes. dear, a little well game, if I
may so speak." ,-- ,-v .
. Cousin Mary was properly shocked. In
the retirement of their own room, she ex
pressed her mind fully, and declared she
would cot wear the ring another moment.
It was a pretence and a shame to do such
athing. ,, :, , ,, ., ,
. Sally was startkd, and plead the dread
ful necessity of the caw, . ,
" He was such a bore, you, kuow, and
really wiiat could I do? It was all iu fun.
There's nothing serious. ' I mean to re
turn the ring to-morrow." , , ,"i ,, , .
" I wouldn't wear it another miuuta, if I
were you,. SftUi Depford..' - , , , , ,, .
Sally laughed and still retained the ring.
Bhe would return it to-morrow. , She would
near it one more night for it was, really,
such a handsome ling. , . .
The doctor iiehaved beautifully. lie
ouly called opec, snd didn't even ask her to
tide or walk. ; , , , .
He, walks so fant, and, as for the old
chaise you know how it creaks. . , .. .
; Jt was a very proper engagement.. liath
ercool, perhaps. , What could you expect?
Ho yas past forty, if a day, they said. J ,
1 She did not return the ring the next day.
It rained. She sent a not to the dootor
by a friend the following day, asking him
to cull for it He was away wouldn't be
back until Monday. Of course she musk
wear tho ring one more Sunday j and she
did, in spite of cousin Mary Depford's re
monstrance. 1 , :
On Monday she carried the ring still on
her finger to the doctor. Ho was just
starting off on a professional tour when she
came, and was so merry, and there was so
many things to talk about, that she quite
forgot the ring. Besides, there stood the
widow Bigelow, in the next . yard, pretend
ing to Jiang out her clean elothos on the
line, and watching with both eyes.
Oonsin Mary Depford was harassing.
They had a little Sipat,' after the mannor of
girls, aud made it up on the strength of a
promise from Sally that she would cortainly
return the ring to-morrow.
On the morrow she started, ring on
finger, to duly return it. . He was not at
borne. She went again, just before tea-
time. He was at tea, and pressed her to
take supper with his good old housekeeper
and himself. She hesitated a moment,
then accepted. She could quietly hand
hirn . the ring After supper, and in the
meantime she might as well have a 'good
time." . s
The fine old house, the elegant dining
room and the cosy table set for three, were
charming. The doctor was a good talker,
and cultivated and refined in his manners.
She bad been obliged to bear much wretch
ed r Kosslp for the last week . or two. It
would be rather amusing to see just how
she seemed to be engaged. She might as
well have a good time, for it would soon be
over. She would return the ring as soon as
the housekeeper retired. ( The housekeep
er did nothing of the kind.. . As soon as tea
was, over she took her knitting, aud sat
down by the open . window in the parlor,
where she could sea everything that hap
pened both in the house and in the garden.
The doctor acted bis part to perfection.
He was not too attentive to attract atten
tion from the housekeeper, nor did he for
got for a moment to be watchful of his
guests happiness. ... ,. . .
At 10:30 p. m. Sally returned to ber own
room, looking wonderfully serene and hap
py. Cousin Mary Depford was silent and
watchful. , Presently she saw . something
and said : , ,,!-. . . .. i . ..('
"Oh, Sally!"
"Well, dear?" . t: . . i . '
"Where's the ring?" . i:'
"Oh, my love ! , I quite forgot all about
it ; I did, indeed. . I'll toko it right , back
to-morrow,", .. . . . (
As for tho doctor, he sat , up half the
night, pacing his room alone and in the
dark. At midnight he was called to see
some distant patient. He was glad to go.
The cool ride through the solemn dark gave
him a chance to think.- ,
The next day Sally boldly started for the
doctor's to return the ring. He was not at
home. Of course she could not leave it
with the housekeeper. Besides, why
should she take the trouble to carry it to
him? It wag not hor place. He should
ask fop it. .,.:,....,, ; ,i ;
' Cousin Mary fairly raged. , For .the first
time Sally, was .really unhappy over the
matter, and in a little passion she pulled
off the ring and threw it in a drawer, ,
,"I'll return it by mail,,. Mary, Now
leave, me in peace." , , , ..,
There was no peace, .. Without a thought
she walked up i alone jto the post office
through the village streot to get the eve
ning mail. It did seem as if the whole town
were waiting for their letters,' ' It was too
warm for gloves, and in her haste to get
the letters she forgot the absent ring.
Such a lifting of eyebrows and whisper
ing. Flushed and angry ; with herself, she
darted out of the letter office ouly to al
most run into the doctor's arms. '"
She hid her hands In the folds 6f her
dress aud With a forced Wile bade bim
good evening. He spoke pleasantly, smil
ed and passed on. In a moment Sally
heard his footsteps behind her' as she walk
ed rapidly home. She would not tarn' nor
speak to hlrri on the public road and ' that
would make raatteis ten times worse.
What wib she to do ? It was dreadful I
How she wished she bad never touched the
ring. '' ' ' i-
To her surprise, he overtook ber, and
quietly and firmly put her arm in his.
For a moment she experienced a sense of
unutterable relief ' and : satisfaction. She
leaned upon bim for support, aud was grat
ified as he seemed to draw her closer... How
good in him to come to her rescue. .
' ' The curtain has not been rung down
yet, Miss Depfoid." , "i.'.,.
The curtain I. Oh, he was ouly carrying
ont the joke. With a forced laugh she
took the bint, and in a moment was as
merry and chatty as ever. Once the doe
tor looked at her in a questioning way, and
ouce he was silent for a whole minute.
. , They walked arm in arm up the village
street, and at the sight half the town was
dumb, with astouishmc nt, and the other
half whispered the dreadful news about the
misting ring. ..-,; .(..,. ,, .
Little did they care. . They walktd on
and on, and almost before Bally was aware
of it they arrived at the doctor's gate. The
doctor opened the wicket, and with a smile
held it wide open for her to enter. - .
She paused. - Was it right? Was she
not carrying the joke aliogelher too far?
The blood mounted to her temples, aud she
was silent. . .
" Will you not come in, Miss Depford,
and make us a little call ?"
" No I thank you. Not now."
She put out her hand to sustain herself,
and laid her ungloved fingers on the top of
tho gate post, She felt ready to faint with
mortification, shame and disappointment.
This was the end. It was only a joke a
pretence and
"Miss Dopford," said the doctor, in a
low voice, " where is my ring ?
She snatched hor hand away, and, hiding
it in ber dress, turned away to hide her
facfl. . i i i , ' f . ,
"Pardon me, doctor, pardon nie;I am
much to blame. I didn't mean any harm,
and I hated hated '?
" Hated whom ?"
'"That Bam Barett aud I was ' so glad
to escape from him, that I am afraid I've
done very wrong very wrong indoed."
"How so?"
" In carrying out this, dreadful joke, as
you call it. I am well punished for my
folly. I took the ling off bocauso I must
return it to youw"
" But 8ally I do not wish you to re
turn it" v
She turned around amazed. What did
he mean ? One glanoe was sufficient.
" Come In please my love." - .
She took his arm without a word, and
they walked slowly up the graveled path
toward the old mansion. The housekeep
er came out and bade them welcome in a
grand and impressive manner. The criok
ets began to chirp in the grass. Tho air
seemed laden with the perfume of summer
flowers. The ancient ivy seemed to even
vaguely hint of autumn, as it hung in mo
tionless festoons from the - walls. There
was a sober air about the place, far differ
ent from her childhood's home. The doc
tor offered hor an arm chair on the wide
piazza. :
How courtly and dignified bis manners
His hair was gray with honorable toil.
He loaned over her and whispered :
" It is an old-fashioned place, and I am
Buch an ancient, solitary " '
" Hush 1 please." she quickly said, and
the doctor was sharp enough to soe the real
state of the case. I may, therefore, as well
close my story, by saying that the engage
ment was no longer a joke, but a act which
neither party ever bad oocasiou to regrot
' " ; 1 Plcnse Dont. '
'Don't tell the little one, who may be
slightly willful, that "tho black man will
come out of the dark cellar and carry it eft
if it does not mind." Don't create a need
less foar to go with the child through all
the stages of its existence. " ' '
- Don't tell tho little five-year old Jimmy
"the school ma'am will cut off bis ears."
"pull out his teoth" "tie bim up" or
any of ' the horrible stories that are com.
monly presented to the childish imagina
tion. ' Think you the little one will believe
anything you tell him after he becomes ac
quainted with the gentle teacher who has
not the least idea of putting those terrible
threats into execution ? . ;.","
'. Don't tell them they must not eat sugar
or' sweetmeats,, because it will rot their
teeth. " Pure sugar does not cause the teeth
to decay ; and sugar with fruits is nutri
tious and ' healthy, notwithstanding the
"old saw" to the contrary. The cose of
city children is often cited as if the cause
of their pale faces and slight constitution
were an over amount of sweetmeats with
their diet, when the actnal cause Is want of
pure air and proper exorcise.
: Don't tell the sick one that the medicine
is not bad to take, when you can hardly
keep yonr own stomach from turning "in
side out" at the smell of it. Better by far
to tell him the simple truth, that it is dis
agreeable, hut necessary for his health, and
yoti desire him to take it nt once. Ten to
one he will swallow it with half the trouble
of ' coaxing and worry "of ' words, and love
you better for your firm, decided manner.
Don't teaeh the children by example to
tell white lies to each -cither and to their
neighbors.' Guard lips and bridle your
tongue, if. you desire to. have the coining
generation truthful. Truthfulness is one
of the foundation stones of heaven. He
member tbe old Book says, "no liar" shall
enter within the gates of the beautiful city.
There is no distinction between white lies
aud those of a darker hue. The falsehood
is an untruth, whether the -matter be great
or small.. .
' Mistakes Mill Happen.
A rich landholder of La Beauce arrived
with his wifa and two daughters at Uie
Grand Hotel in Paris the other day. '. Room
No. 117 was assigned to the father and
mother, aud No 110 to the young ladies
who retired about 11 o, clock ou tbe evening
of their arival. After, they had gone to
bed the elder of the girls left her room,
wishing to get mote air. , The ball was lit,
but she bad uo candle. She returned after
a few minutes rather sleepy aud jumped
quickly into bed. "I am frozen," she
suld to her sister, "warm me up." With
pleasure," responded a bass voice. The
young girl gave a shriek and bounded from
the room, . She had entered No, 121,
having mistaken it for her own room, No.
110. For the next eight dnys she did not
dare to leave ber apartment. Finally, ven
turing to go down to tbe table d'hote, she
found herself placed by the side of a milita
ry gentleman of distinguished appearance.
The jolut was brought aad our heroine
auked her neighbor, the officer, to pass the
suit. " With pleasure," answered the
voice she had heard in her night adventure,
and slio fainted uwny. , Ilur marriage to
the officer will Bonn take place.
