Now, I am jrointr to tell vou just wtmt my husband! said to mn this mora ine;, doctor, word for word," said tho invalid, Mrs. Stephens, laying back on the sofa pillow, the very picture of misery. 1 lie family physician, who was called on an average to the Steph ens mansion SCO timos a year, drow a chair to the coach and waited quietly for his pnlicnt to open her book of complaints. "L-nst night, you see, doctor, 1 had an ill turn, and ho wanted to come for you, but when I got so lie dared to loavo me, concluded that we'd better let you sleep. "Much obliged to Litn," said the doctor, with sarcastic emphasis ou the personal pronoun. "Last night was the first undisturbed night's rent I have enjoyed fur a week." . Mrs. Stephens continued: "Tho tpell is the same as I had the last time you were sent for, doctor " "A slight nervous attack," broke io the physician, "nothing more." "Well, it don't make any difference what you call it, it is mighty hard to bear; but let me left you what my husband said, first, doctor, before we go into the symptoms. SVhen be was, gjing down to breakfast, he says to me, 'Kate, what shall I send you up?' "Says I, 'I don't waut anything in tlii3 world but a good strong cup of tea. Tell Bridget to send it up in a little teapot.' "I saw, doctor, that he didn't move after I said this, so I turned aud look ed up at him, and such a pictute of rage end disgust I never 'saw in my life. Finally, sayj be, 'Teal teal teal it is nothing but tea from morning till night, Kate ; you are the color of a Chinaman uow. Why (foul you or der a good beefsteak, am a cup of chocolate? That would be a sensible breakfast.' "But, John,' says I, 'you forget that I am sick aud have no appetite.' ' 1 was ready to cry, but 1 was de termined that ho should not have the satisfaction of seeing the tears fall. 'Forgetl' says lie, 'forget! I wish to Heaven I could forget. It's notli- ng but sigh and groan from one year's end to another. I am out of patience th you. When we lived in a part of a house, and you did your own houso work, you were as well and as happy as anybody, and no man had a pleasanter little home than John Stephens,, but what have I now. to leave or come back tor Ami this, doctor, is what he ended up with: lato,' says he, 'you are nothing more nor less than a drunkard, and iu the sight of God more culpable than most of the men who stagger through the streets, because the majority of these poor scamps have sonio so.'t of an excuse for their conduct, and you haven t the slightest. iou have a luxurious home, a husband doing his level best to make you happy every thing uuder the light of the sun to plcaje you, and yet vou will persist in guzzling tea, and making me as misera ble a wretch as walks ihe earth, les, doctor, guzzling was the word ha used boo! liooj hoo : U dear mo: to think I thould ever have lived to have heard such dreadful language, out of ray husband mouth I ' Pretty plain talk! interrupted the doctor, with a shrug of his broad shoulders. "Oh, yes," sobbed tho victim ; "and so awfully coarse and unkind. If I had had a spell and died there before his very face, 1 don t believe he would have cared tho snap of his finger. I tell you, Dr. r.llis, there is such a thins as a man's getting hardened." "Evidently," replied the physician, with a laconcisru absolutely paintul. "But my husband has nothing in the world to trouble him but just mv poor health; and I am sure I cau't help that.'' This remark was more In answer to her companion's tone nnd manner than the one single word that had acciden tally escaped his lips, and this the doctor felt. "Auybouy would think by the way be eoes on. continued tho irate wo man. "that I enioved myself with spasms aud pains and fainting fits. Anybody would think it a pleasure to me to tool every time 1 see a funeral procession as if the hearse was going to stop at our door nest, u, yes: sunn a lite is eniovable: very, indeed. Dr. Ellis took no tutice to theso last words: the man's eyes grew lum inous, aud his whole lace declared that he considered himself master of the situation; and if Mrs. Stephens had not beeu so eniirel taken up with her own ailments, mental and physical, that hor.ost countenance would have betrayed him. "You say," lie began, settling him self in the larjre casv chair, and assu miiig a strictly professional air, "that your huebaud has no thine to trouble him but your health; how do know this. Mrs. fetepbeus?" you "How? Why, how do 1 know any MAY 10, 187G. thing? By the evidences of my senses. Don't I know that John Stephens has a spletided business that looks after itself, a magnificent income, and mon ey enough to live on the bare interest, as well as a family need to live, if he never enters his office again while he has breath." "But money isn't everything, Mrs. Stephens," proceeded the physician, with a calniuess almost Mephistophil ian. "How about hcllh, madam?'' "Helth?" repeated tho lady, with a smile sho intended to be sarcastic to tho last degree. "Health? Dr. Ellis 1 Why, there is not a healthier or soun der man than my husband in the Uni ted States. He cats mora in cue meal than I do in three months." "There is nothing the-matter with your husband's stomach, Mr3. Ste phens." Dr. Ellis shaded his face with his hand and waited further develop ments. Mrs. Stephens mistook the attempt for forced concealment of emotion, aud immediately assuming a setting posture, brushed her eyes, and looked piercingly into her com panion's face. "Why do you accent the word 'stomach' so strongly, Dr. Ellis?" she inquired in anxious tones. Airs. Stephens was forgetting her Sblf and this the doctor hailed as an excellent omen. "Only that I might make you un derstand that a man's digestion could be most unexceptionable, and yet he be far from sound in other directions." "Then you mean to tell mo thaf my husband is sick f" "I do." "Perhaps you will go still further, and say dangerous ?" "If you desire it." "O, Dr. Ellis, how cold and unfeel ing you are! I should thiuk you.ought to know by this time " and just here Mrs. Stephens broke down entirely, and nobbed as though her heart would break. "Ought to know what, Mrs. Ste phens?" inquired the doctor with uncalled-for deliberation. "You ought to know to know that my my husband's huhli is of a good deal mqre consequence than my own." "Ah, indeed," interrupted the phy sician, with an elevation of the bushy eyebrows, immensely suggestive of a contrary opinion as well ni several very excellent reasons for said opin ion. "Dr. Ellis, will you be kind enough to tell me what is the matter with my husband ?" Mrs. Stephens was now pn her feet tears all wjpsd away, eyes tUshing with resentful spirit, and only the lit tle quiver of her lip to show how deep a wound the Kind nenrt -n her bosom had sustained. There Bhe stood, re proachful, determined, womanly. "Mrs. Stephens," said he, "you have no cause to be alarmed. It I can only get your co-operation in this bus iness, 1 feel certain 1 shall be able to make a well man of your husband in few months a' the longest; but as true as I sit before you I cannot do this alone." "Why have I not been informed of this before?" broke in Mrs. Stephens, imperiously. W ho was there to inform you, madam? I should really like to know when you have been sufficiently calm U hear all that was necessary for you to know." "But, Dr. Ellis, I should think that ou ought to understand that my own ealth and comfort are nothing com pared to my husband's." Mrs. Ste phens was weeping again, "there is no sacrifice I would not make for him." "Curious creatures!" muttered tho doctor; "delightful bundles of contra dictions. How the mischief should I know, Mrs. Stephens, how much you cared for your husband? I am sure that you have spent the last hour com uln'ininc about him. Is that the way women Generally testi6y their regard for their husbands ?" "O, don't Dr. Ellis, please don't," pleaded the terrified woman. "1 will never complain again nevor it you will only lot me know what I can do for bun. Do you know, doctor, 1 had begun to think lately that something must be amiss with him, he was growl i ii if so irritable. Poor dear! how wicked and thouchtleS3 I havo been. "This, thon, is tho trouble. I shall take it for granted, madam, (hat you know something about physiology and can follow me without difficulty. "Oh yes, for mercy's sake go on." "very wen, i ana mo peritaruium "The' pericardium," repeated Mrs. Stephens. "You knew what that is, I sup pose ?" Evidently Mrs. Stephen's anatomi cal knowledge was limited. Sho shook her head in despair. , "Something about tho heart, is nut?" she a-ked at length. WW!. $2 PEK ANNUM. "Yes ; the pericardium is the mem braneous sao that holds the heart. Well, sometimes, the sac . It is no matter about particulars, Mrs. Steph ens," and Dr. Ellis suddenly came to a stanstill. "It's enough, though, for me to say that we are both possibly anxious that his heart should remain where it be longs. Mr. Stephen's must be au,usod. He wants the opera, the lecture, the social cirolo, entertaining books, a hap hy home, music. You play ami sing, do you not, Mrs. Stephens?" "Oh, yes, I used to," and Mrs. Ste phen's tones were so pitiful now that the big Dr. Ellis really and truly was obliged to wipe both his eyes and his nose. Before he was aware, the lachry mal duct had got the upper hand. "Well, try it again ; get a tcaclier and go to pi'actisiug." "But how am I going to manage my spasms?" sobbed tlie lady. "Well, perhaps, between us both you using your will power, and think ing of your husbaud, going out with him, taking care of him, and I doing my bAt in mv way wo may be able to subdue them ; but you mustremeui ber this, madam do not let Mr. Ste phens have the fuintest suspicion that you think anything is the matter with tn in ; and above an, do not treat lum like an invalid. Just amuse him, and all that, you know, just as you used to when you were first marripd." Another series of sobs from Mrs, Stephens. The doctor arose lo go.

Tins had become habitual ; seldom did the gentleman show himself to his beloved wife until after the dining bell had summoned tho family to the diuing room.

They attracted the atteutiou of every passenger by their lavish display of affection. The young map kept hi arm tight aroupd the bride's waist, aa it he was alraid she would vanish be- -fore he knew it, and she didn't seem to care it he hugged her right along for half a day, She was so terribly homely that everybody wondered how - he could love her, and by and by be seemed to think that an explanation would be in order. . lie borrowed a chew of tobacco of a man near tho door, aud remarked : "I'm going to hug that girl all the way home, though 1 know she isn.t purty." "I wouldn t, briefly replied the man. "And that's where you'd, fool your self," continued the young man.

A look of triumph shot from his eaglo eye as he gathered up the four corners of the handkerchief, but it was replaced by one of horror and disgust when the metal rup through the latino like wa ter through a sieve. Looking at the metal as it lay on the ground in s puzzled sort of way for a moment, he launched a vicbus kick at it, and ut tering an angry ejaculation, he turned on his heel aud left the quicksilver foi some other untutored son . of the forr est to experiment on. ,.
