Con sidertition fur his wile's rest, however, at length induced hintto turn out once Own., and again go through the process of refrig eration. " Sir Timothy's niesmenger again, I 'snp• noes ?" he cried. "No," replied a well•known voice : lam here nlysell.'

" Nut so ; the responsibility Will all lie on your own shoulders- lam a poor man work ing hard for my living, but no one evet knew me neglect a patient because he could not pay me.

"That sounds like business," replied the L I doctor, not altogether sorry for 'an excuse for going to the aid of a dying woman. So he shut the window, put on some clothes. and admited Sir Timothy Grabham, taking him ' Into his,sconsulting.room and lighting the gas.. •` Now, bow UM I to word it ?" inquired the baronet, toldng up a pen, and arranging a sheet of foolscap before him. "I promise to pay the sum of .0 100 to Mr. John Radford, surgeon, of he cures —" • "Nn, no," interrupted the doctor ; "it is only quacks who make such bargains as that; I must have my fee whether I am sucessful or not.•• —LOrlaPlbllr Very good,—'rurgeon, for attendance upon my wife, kill or cure.' Will that do ?" " Yes; that will do; but sign it." "1), 1 forgot. How stupid ! And Nir Timothy appended his name to the document, \Odell Dr. Radford locked up in his desk ; and then,putting on his greatcoat and hat, he left the house II ith his successful visitor. He found Lady Grabham very 11l indeed, quite past human aid, in fact ; and though he was indefatigable In his attendance, and per formed that lent which is popularly called " exhausting the resources Of his art," she sank on the third day. The widower was not inconsolable. The undertaker look sonic timber which hind lately been felled, in part payment of expenses; and on the very day of the funeral, Sir Timothy let a farm, the lease of which had expired, at an increased rent, witout having to do as much in the way of repairs as he had anticipated; so that he enabled to bear his domestic misfortune like a Spartan. Alter a lapse of time, Mr. Radford sent in a note referring to the promise which Sir Tim othy Gmbh= had made him, and requesting check for a hundred pounds ; and no answer being vouchsafed to this communication, he presently wrote again in more urgent lan guage ; but the second letter was ignored as quietly as the first. 'Dien the good doctor got angry, and meeting his debtor one day in the course of his rounds, he upbraided him with his conduct, and threatened to take legal proceedings. " Quite right, doctor—quite right," said Sir Timothy. " Force me to pay you, and I will do 4t t lint I never part with a farthing except under emnpulsion ; it is against my principles ; and I am sorry I cannot make MI exception in your favor." So Dr. Radford put the matter in the hands of a lawyer ; and in due time the case came on. It was a gay day in the little country town, for t'w case excited a great deal of cu• riosity and amusement ; the poor doctor, who was a general favorite, had been pitilessly chatted, thought everybody hoped for and an. ticipated his success; and the court was crowded with county magnates. It added to the attraction of , the affair that Sir Timothy Urabhatn, with all Ids faults, hail the merit of being consistent ; he would not employ a law yer, but conducted his own case. Of course the doctor's solicitor was jubilant, and quoted the proverb which avers that the man who so '.as a fool for his client. " Not but what the is clear enough," hr added ; " all the lawyers in get him oil from paying up." And indeed It did scent simple. The doe. tor was put Into thewitness-box, and told liis story ; and Sir Timothy d a not question the correctness or it ; on the contrary, he openly said, that, to the best or his remembrance, everything had occurred exactly as described. "'But," he added, " I should like to look at the document which has been alluded to, and ask the plaintiff a question or two about it." The memorandum was handed Co himotud he read it aloud : "! promise to pay the suns .4:100 to Mr. John Radford, sitryeon, fat at tendance upon sty wife, kill or curt." Exactly.

Are not six days in the week enough for the delivery of secular lectures `• Altogether the most notable event in the Boston lecture field is the successful establishment of secular Sunday evening lectures, with hardly a whisper of di,smt front either the orthodox press or the pulpit. It shows how the faith as it was delivered to tine clloll'l.l has gradually lost ground in Bostom, it not in New-England generally. Not only hits Miss Kate Field ap• peered at the Globe Theatre, but a regular course has been established at the Boston Theatre, opening with two lectures in tilleCCA -31011 by General Kilpatrick, followed by Mr. George William Curtis, on " Charles Dick. ens," and to be further continued by :cushy —thuk giving up the lost vestige of Sabbath sobriety. There is nothing elther in the ,erode of conducting these lecturers or in. the lectures themselves, to show that the even. ing is not that of a week.day, though the au diences show, as yet, a slight timidity about ; applause. It is reported that a formidable movement is to be made against this innova tion, the Young Men's ChristimiAssociation, it is said,purposing to unite the pulpits against the movement ; but as large matters move slowly it is unlikely that this opposition will have any practical result, except, inceed, to a fresh ant' perhaps tierce agitation of the whole Sunday question. But the fact that the matter has gone so tar without any opposi• lion is worth noting among the signs of the times."

Mr. Fields,in his recollections of Thackeray thus speaks of the author's habits of procras tination : "As he wrote from month to month, and liked to put off the inevitable chapters' till the last moment, he was often in great tribulation. I happened to be one of a large company whom he had invited to a 5 o'clock dinner nt Greenwich, one Summer afternoon, several years ago. We were all to go- down from London, assemble in a particular room in the hotel, where he was to meet us sharp at 6 o'clock, sharp. Accordingly we took steamer and gathered ourselves together in the reception•room at the appointed time. When the clock struck six our host had not fulfilled his part atilt, compact. His burly figure was yet waiting among the company assembled. As the guests were nearly all strangers to each other, and as there was no one present to Introduce us, a profound silence fell upon the room, and'we anxiously looked out of the windows, hoping every moment that Thackeray would arrive. This untoward state of things went on for one hour, still no Thackeray and no dinner. English reticence would not allow any remark as to the absence of our host. Everybody felt serious and a great gloom fell upon the assembled party. Still no Thackeray. The landlord,the butler, and the waiters rushed in and out the room, shrieking-for the master of the feast; who as yet had not ardved. It was confidently whispered by a fat gentleman, with a hungry look, that the dinner was utterly spoiled 20 minutes ago, when wo heard a merry shout in the entry, and Thackeray bounced into the room. Ile had .ot changed his morning dress, oil ink was still visible upon his fin gers. Clapping his hands and pirouetting briskly on one leg, he cried out. "Thank Heaven, the last sheet of The Vire - Jana has just gone to the printer." He made no apolo gy for his late appearance, introduced nobody, shook hands heartily with everybody, and us all to be seated as quickly as possi ble. His exquisite delight nt completing his book swept away every other feeling, and we all shared his pleasure, albeit the dinner was overdone throngliont. An instance of his procrastination occurred the evening of his first public appearance in America. Ills lecture was advertised to take place at 7j, and when he was ir formed of the hour he said he would try and be ready at S o'clock, but thought it very doubtful. Horri fied at this assertion, I'-led to impress upon him the importance of punctuality on this, the night of his first bow to au American andience. At 7. I called for him, and found him not only unshaved and undressed for the evening, but rapturously absorbed in making a pen and ink drawing to illustrate a passage in Goethe's " Sorrows of Werther," for a lady, which ll lustration —a charming one, by the way, for he was greatly skilled in drawing—lie would finish before lie would budge an inch in the direction of the (I omit the adjective) Melodeon.
