"I wouldn't go," aaid his self-con-stitnted Mentor. "These fellows swear by the old doctor, who is jlod to take his pay in 'Mountain Dew? Yon may whistle for money of any color," this last being a thrust at the already de clared temperance proclivities of his guest. "Cut," urged the mnn in self-defense, "tho ould docthcr's that drntik he'll not bo after stirring tho night ; and it's good silver I'll pay ye, and bring jo back mcself in tho morn ing." Dr. Nelson looked doubtfully nt his wife. Could ho possibly lcavo her iilono nil night in a country tavern, of which ho knew nothing? 8Lo would nut meet his gazo with her eyes full of fast gathering tears. Had sho not, by silliness and cowardice, interfered with his previous career? At least hhe felt very guilty over her secret rejoicing whenever the night p issed without a summons to potno bcJsidc ; but in assuming a matron's bourn t sin rcniiy meant to turn over i new lenf ntul bravely act her part us the doctor's wifo in their now home, Be Hides, in novel surrounding women arc often moro venturesomo than men ; so sho rnid, encouragingly : "Jt may bo tho lido at its flood, dear."

Draw ing forth a slightly battered band box, t.he replaced her big shade hut by a verv staid and sober bonnet, which so failed of tho desired matronly ef fect that the husband hurriedly jolrgod Lis horso to a fresh start, lest he bo called upon to pais judgment on a faee nmdo tt ill more blooming by tho contrui.t. To tell tho truth, after graduating yit!i high honors from tho good old ritute University, Dr. Thomas Nelson, aged twenty-three, had .lotiu two Lusty, imprudent things: One was to marry otliiaud u dear little school trirl, whom two-thirds of the town still re membeied as u lau.ou.s romp and scat teibruin in short dresses; the other dubious step was to settle down to the eiercue of his profession in tha iumt community where Loth of them lived from babyhood. Hosts of frieuds and relatives took tin deepest possible interest in "Tom uiie's" eases aud "dt ar Kittiu's" house keeping, but somehow under tho fell iwuyjuf aches and pains, their nll'uction waned to such an extent that it could bo revived only after a siht of tho regular practitioner, a man of ago and experience. No young couple, how ever economical, can manage to exist on good wishes alone, so alter a year's trial of suvh dry fare, the Nelsons set out lo try their f.ite among total strangcrf. Their goal was u mush room town, who:-e rapidly increasing po illation was still left to tho tender mil cits of nn f.ntiijuati'.l ijuael:, very well acquainted with Therapeutics un t sled tlrotigh tho medium of black Lollies. In tho chill, nutuinn twilight, the ncv. comers drove up to tho 1-jug, low tavern, a relic of stagecoach times, Mandiug out prominently among the Lewer, lnndiiio Louses which looked so like peas in a pod that tho obser vant, quick-eyed doctor found him teif vainly searching tor some distin guishing marl;, and v.-oiulcring if ho fchotild ever manage to know where bis patients lived. Tho streets seemed quite deserted, and tho tuveru unfre quented, making tho doctor bluo with tomethiug worse than cold. A warm supper aud a noring firo encceeded iu eheeriug tho travelers to a faint interest iu tho chatty land lord's coulldenccs as to tho community at large, aud tho bibulous old doctor in particular. They wero beginning to leel comfortably cozy and fleepy, when a slouchy, ill-kempt Irishman rhulllcd awkwardly iuto tho diuing room, saying that Lo wanted tho new doctor. "Oh, go along with you, Mikol" taid tho tavern keeper, unwilling to lose his appreciative audiouco, "It's mo ould woman," insisted the man. "aho's that bad that X bo thinkin it's a bthroke.

After a tedious climb of nn hour or moro a faint glimmer through souio opening announced their arrival at a human habitation, even before a furious harking of do,' grecto I tho unuormstomod footfalls of tho horse. Dismounting, the hulf-auxiom doc tor followed tho Irishman into tho lighted cabin, whose onu room seemed entirely empty, Uut there was an in mate a woman clad in fadod calico, who, w ith her face hidden in a limp snnbotinel, sat rocking her thin, spare body backward and forward betorc tho big fireplace, 'where piuo knots guvo forth a glaring light and a warmth that was pleasantly apparent after tho crisp night air. It needed but a rlauce nt tho fixed, strained muscles rltho sallow face to conviuco tho doctor that lockjaw was tho cause of tho silent tongue, which had impressed the 'husband as some thing dreadful a:d altogether uu canny, to tho exclusion of any special concern about a bully hurt and very painful anklo, whkti Lai been en tirely neglected. Hut a few days before, tho doctor had chanood to read ip a torn scrap of uowprvapar c.MoW fckm was au in valuable reuiw-' for" lockjaw, Sir James Simpson's experiments with chloroform having recently called tho attention of the whole world to its capabilities aud development aa an aesthetic. Fortunately, ho hal a small vial in tho leather saddlo-pock-ets which were th3 inseparable com panions of a doctor in tho days when druggists wero found in large towns only, and patent med'eines were not among thu stock iu trade of every cross-roads store. A moment sufficed for him to un stop tho vial aud saturuto his c.wu handkerchief, tho appearuueo of tho cabin Lardly warranting tho forth coming of such a luxury. Tho look of relief on tho woman's face was sec ond only to that which overspread her hushatiu's countenance, as soou after ward sho found her tonguo sulllcieiitly to beruta him soundly for having brought her that "spalpecu of a doc tor," instead of their old lrieud aud fellow-toper. After settling his patient in tho ono bed of which tho cabin boasted, tho doctor slept oil' Lis fatigue, as best ho could, by dozing aud dreaming iu a straight backed, hard bottomed chair. Under tho circumst inces, breakfast seemed so doubtful a quantity that, with tho early dawn, Le wended his way back down tho mountain, accom panied to tho edge of civilization by tho presumably grateful husband who, in parting, piugerly counted out two quarters and grulliy said "Oood-by," with no word of thanks or praise. The young man pocketed tho llrst fco and grimly vowing to keep it for luck, returned to tho tavern thor oughly dii. heartened at tho prospect of similar night journeys and their ill proportioned recompense. It was n laid beginning', but a hearty break fa -it and a sj mputhetio wifo caused him to deci":o that one must not quarrel with one's bread, even though it bo uubut t.Teil. During the day, a call from another mini r further confirmed him in tho resolve t waive his prejudices for tho timo being, and after that ho really had no time tu think any moro ubout them. Somebody, either tho taciturn hus band or tho shrewish wife, told won drous talcs of tho "spalpeen" doctor, who without a dro; of medicine aud with but a whiff nt a queer-smelling haudcrchiof had brought back tho obi woman's speech. To tbom tho bad foot was a mucn more ordinary affair, although it wai a lingering oaso which called for many visits from tho doc tor, who made them conscientiously, despite the small prospect of fees, lie gave the settlers fresh cause for mar vol by invariably declining their "Mountain Dew," by which romantic title i known that illicit whisky w'uuh has evaded the prosaie touch of revenue stamp, popularly churned to be injurious to the pjrfl.iavor of the "juice."

A few mourned ovr the fading laurols of the convivial obi fellow, always ready for a "drap" with his patients, sick or dying though they might be ; but among the min ers, whose daily life was proliflo of ac cidents, tho cool head and ever firm hand of tho "timporance man" could not fail to inspire confidence. Slowly, but surely, the tido turned in his favor. During tho very severe winter which followed, the doctor braved many a hard rido through rain and sleet, snowdrifts and swollen streams, while tho anxious wife spent many a lonely night wishing for the dawn and Lis safo return. Spring found Iho doctor with a slight balance tn band, and a steadily growing prac tice, as others besides "moonshiners' and miners gradually became awaro of his existence', and took duo note of it for fnturo reference. In n new country liko ours, towns often spring iuto cities and men into riches; but our doctor ntid onr town climbed upward, step by step to fumo and fortune. Tor a man ready to seizo every honest opportunity to rise, there nro always more tips than downs, and such a ono is certain to have, sooner or later, what mnnv Mvlo "luck;" but tho doctor and his wifo called it, "Taken nt tho Hood." Ero middle ago succeeded in catch ing our young couple, tho doctor could and did afford a belated wed ding journey, during which Iho J it t lo wifo bought and woro her Paris bon nets, with sublime indilTorcnco to what people might think of tho still youthful face.

When tloctors disagree, it is timo for tho intelligent laymen to arivo a littlo thought to their own conditions nnd ascertain, if porsiblo, by careful and prudent experiments, just what is oest lor them. One class of ihy.si- cians will advocate cold rooms, abun dance of out-of-door nir and what would seem to bo almost fatal ex posure, and w ill insist that this is con ducive to health and that tho patient will thrive under such heroic treat ment. A medical mau claims to bo able to euro consumption and nil pul mouary troubles by keeping the patient for a goodly portion of the day in an atmosphere of intense cold. In mid-winter the sufferer is put by an open window and inhales tho sharp outsido air for hours ut a timo. This is all very well aud no doubt a good thing, but from this stato of affairs peoplo who have neither tho experi ence nor the facilities take their cue and imagine that extreme cold, if ap plicable in this way, must necessarily bo so in others. They seen to lose eight of tho fact that these invalids are put upon wheel carriages, tuoked up aa snugly as a baby in a cradlo and wheeled in by these open windows. They may sleep there or sit thero as loug as they are comfortable, some times perhaps longer than tho sick one desires, but, under no circum stances, are these peoplo even for au instant exposed to tho atmosphere iu any dangerous way. But, on this theory, somebody thinks thut sleeping iu a cold room, or sitting iu oue, has its points of raco, consequently wo find extremely delicate peoplo going iuto cold rooms and getting iuto beds that nro just about as comfortable and safo as ice houses. To inhale prodigious quanti ties of cold air is ono thing, aud may bo beneficial, but to retire in a room with a temperature at zero, iu a col I bed w ith the blankets and wraps luuu absolutely congealing condition, is quite another. With an abundant of hot-water bags and wurm blankets, it is possible to get into a cold bed and finally become comfortable; but when, after a night's rest, ono rises in tho morning and comes suddenly iu contact with tho freezing air of such an apartment, eveu though one goes immediately into a warm room, it is little short of suicide. Under ordin ary circumstances, it is better to sleep iu a room us nearly as possiblo of the temperature of tho ono occupied dur ing tho day. Children should not bo permitted to sleep iu very cold rooms. They nro restless, and almost always get moro or less uncovered, and get colds that start u long train of ills. All things being equal, tho uso of a moi'crutcly warm room with fresh air brought iu by a tube from out of doors is much tho safer and wiser method of procedure. New York Ledger.
