Th9 Wrong Pig by the Ear.
OLD DR. JOHNS lived In the llttlo
village of lloiieyliurst, ami fur for
ty years he lmd been the mile iihytilelan
In the district where he mlded. No
one eared to enter the list against him
In that locality, for the simple Inhabi
tants fully believed that there wan not
ueh another master of the healing art
In the known world, and so he drove
his red wheeled gig over the lanes and
byways of the country side without a
rival, and dosed aud bullied the Inhabi
tants In his rough and kindly funliloii
to his heart's content.
The doctor lived In a great rambling
house half way down the vllluge street,
with a wide expanse of lawn In front,
and bis little biluk office In one corner
next to the sidewalk. Ills wife had
died many years ago, so his household
was conducted by a housekeeper, llut
as the doctor's family whb small and he
loved society, he was hardly ever with
out a Btudeut, to whom he taught the
heulitig ait In the buck ofllce. Thus it
was that Charlie Horton came to Hon
eyhurtt to study medicine with the doc
tor, aud, as bis predecessor had done
before him, occupied the back olllce aud
the northwest chumber. He came from
a town somewhat distant, aud was un
known to the town folks, and, like
every stranger who came among them,
was made the subject of great crltlcul
examination, as he walked up the broad
aisle of the village church the Sunday
evening after his arrival.
' Well, doctor, how are you V" said
Farmer Smith, as he leanad over the
gate of his cornfield the uext morning
as the doctor came driving by.
k'Ah, Smith, how do you do I" re
plied he, as he drew reiu on the gruy
mure aud stopped. "How's your
folks V"
"Toler.ble, thank'ee; wife's a little
811111' this mornin'. See you've got a
new young man ; see'd him yesterday
at church, eh V" said the farmer, luugh
lng. " Yes, I think so," replied the doc
tor. " Think ye hain't got the wrong pig
by the ear, eh, doctor V"
" Well, dou't kuow," replied the vil
lage Esculaplous ; " can't tell yet."
Now, "getting the wrong pig by the
ear" was one of the doctor's great ex
pressions, in fact his fuvored one. Like
Shakespear's justice, he was " full of
wise saws aud modern instances," aud
had a proverb or apt quotation upon
every occasion. With him, if a man
made a mistake it was "getting the
wrong pig by the ear." Of course this
peculiarity was well known throughout
all the couutry about where he practiced,
and hence the quotation of Farmer
Smith.
Time passed on and Charles Horton
became fully domesticated in the doc
tor's household. He was a line young
fellow, somewhat over confident, per
haps, and needed the rein a little. Tills
the doctor was uot slow to put on, and
he mingled his Instructions In the heal
ing art with admonitions about "get
ting the wrong pig by the ear," until
Charles was heartily tired of the home
proverb. But he was a good fellow,
nevertheless, aud a great favorite.
Two years passed away, and Charlie's
studies with the old doctor were draw
ing to a close, when suddenly the idea
popped into his head that he would go
to l'aris and finish his medical educa
tion with a course through the Conti
nental hospitals. Dr. Johns pooh
poohed the idea, aud thought it utterly
useless. '
" Why, boy," said he, " what do you
want togogalivantlngotr to France?
What bee have you gut in your bonnet
now? Can't you be satisfied with
home learning, but must go and tack
on some new-fangled toni-foolery, that
will knock all your sensible knowledge
out of your head ? Go to Paris f Non
sense! Don't get the wrong pig by the
ear?
llut Charlie was not to be talked out
of his new idea. He was bound to go to
Paris to study and see the world, and so
one day he packed bis trunks, bade his
friends good-bye, and, mounting the
stage-touch, was wheeled out of the vll
luge world.
But before going, the old doctor call
ed hiiu into his ofllce, aud, shutting the
door, thus began :
" Now Charlie, you are off to foreign
parts, and I hope you will enjoy your
self. Stick to your books and get what
kuowledge you can out of those fellows
over there, although I don't suppose
they kuow so much more than other
people. But, uevertheles you may learn
a few things. I don't suppose you'll be
apt to acting, for you have beeu too well
brougiit up for that f aud now I've got
something here that I want you to take
with you. It's a recipe that it has taken
me a good many years to find out. You
will Mud it of great value iu your prac
tice. It will cost you five pounds."
And the doctor, with a very grave face
held out a huge yellow envelope sealed
with red wax and tied with a blue ribbon.
Churl I e was rather tired of this long
winded hurrHiigue, for although he liked
the doctor, he considered It) ni some
thing of an old fogy. But the ofler of
this receipt excited Ids curiosity. What
was It t So he paid the five pounds, nml
became possessor of the huge envelope
and Us mysterious contents."
V Take good cure of it, Charlie, and
don't open it until you lire out of the
country."
A dtiy or two after, wheu at his hotel
at Folkestone wuillng for the steamer,
he bethought hi in self of the mystio re
el pt aud hastening to his room lie lock
ed the door and opened his valise.
There It was, safe and sound, In all
its glory of yellow envelope, red seal
aud blue ribbon, Charley took It out;
turning It over. It wus very solemn
aud ponderous; a perfect panacea for all
the evils that flesh Is heir to. lie turned
it over aud over, and finally untied the
ribbon, and breuking the seal drew out
a sheet of foolscap carefully folded.
Taking it to the window he reud as fol
lows :
" Ojn't get the wrong pig bv the ear.
ini kUTi'iiKW Johns "
DuMiing the paper to the floor, Charlie
burst out :
" The old swindler, to cheat me out of
five pounds iu thut way I I'll come up
with him, though. See If I don't pay
him off." So he contented himself witli
concoctiug a scheme for vengeance In
secret.
Three years passed away before Char
ley Horton llnlshtd his studies and re
turned home. Meanwhile he had
changed greatly, aud from a smooth
faced stripling, wltii the merest sugges
tion of a mustacho, he was now bearded
like the pard, and looked so different
that his own mother hardly knew him.
But he had not forgotten Dr. Johns, nor
his promised revenge.
It was Saturday night when the stage
coacli set Charles Horton down at the
door of the village inn at Iloneyhurst.
He gave a false name to the landlord,
aud smoked a cigar with hltu after sup
per, and inquired uhout the village, with
out that functionary ouce suspecting
his Identity.
In the course of the conversation,
Charley asked " who it was that lived
in that large house with a front garden
down street."
" That's Dr. Johns been here a good
many years; clever man. I'll Introduce
you to him, if you wish. The doctor
and I are pretty good friends."
"Well," slowly replied Charlie, as
if considering it, "he ought to know
his danger, and it would be best for him.
It may uot be too late yet."
And on they started down the street,
toward the doctor's residence.
" What did you say was his name,"
asked Charlie, as they marched along.
"Dr. Johns," replied the host.
"Johns Johns," said Charley,
thoughtfully: "I know a fellow in
Europe Charley Horton by name who
said he had studied with Dr. Johns, an
old man, aud somewhat of a character.
I wonder If your doctor 1b the same
man V"
" To be sure he is." replied the inn
keeper. "I knew Charlie Horton well.
He went to Europe three or four years
ago. So you kuow hlin, do ye t Is he
there yet V The doctor will be doubly
glad to see you if you bring news from
Charlie. He thought a great deal of
him.
By this time they had reached the doc
tors office, and he greeted the landlord
heartily, and looked inquiringly at the
stranger.
The landlord Introduced Charlie as
Dr. Holmes, and added that he brought
news from Charlie Horton.
At this Dr. John was overjoyed, urg
ed the pseudo Holmes to come in, and
inquired affectionately about his old
pupil.
Conversation was carried on for an
hour, when Charlie, looking the doctor
earnestly iu the face, said :
" Dr. Johns, how is your health
now?"
" First rate, sir first rate. Never
felt belter iu my life!" aud he certainly
looked it.
"You don't find old age creeping on,
do you, sir V" blankly inquired Charley
but still looking very Intently into the
doctor's fuce.
"Well, a little stlffllsh in the joints
now aud theu ; but bless you sir I
cau ride as many miles and as many
hours as I ever could."
" Dr. Johns," said Charley very im
pressively, "do you ever meet in your
practice people who look aud feel the
perfect embodiment of health, yet
whose constitutions are being sapped by
a fatal disease and they uot conscious of
ill"
" Well, yes, I have met such cases,"
replied the doctor.
" And did you ever apply them to
yourself, sir)" agaiu asked Charley in
solemn tones.
"Why, Dr. Holmes, what do you
mean V Do you think that ray consti
tution Is undermined by a secret dis
ease? Nonsense, man I" and he laugh
ed outright. ,
Then Charley began. He told the old
doctor all that he had told the landlord,
aud much more. How he hud many
such cuses. He knew the doctor felt
his age, aud he cleverly used those
symptoms, twisting them about, show
ing that It was not age, and In two
hours' time the doctor wits so thorough
ly frightened that he believed his end
liable to occur at any moment, and be
sought " Dr. Holmes" to do whatever
lay In his power to give him relief. Dr.
Holmes promised to think It over dur
in the night. Dr. Johns would not
hear of his returning to the tun, but in
sisted upon his taking a bed at his own
house.
Charley, with a grave fuce, finally
consented ; but before going to bed he
advised thedoctor to take "an anodyne,"
assured him that there was no immed
iate danger, and cleverly managed to
slip an emetic into the doctor's gluss of
runi-and water, which he always took
before retiring, anil had done so with
great regularity for thirty years.
About the middle of the night the old
housekeeper called Charley up iu great
haste and terror. Dr. Johns was very
sick, aud had asked her to cull Dr.
Holmes as soon as possible. Charley
went into the bedroom and found liliu
tossing around aud groaning at a great
rate. He felt now he bud an attack of
the disease mentioned by Charley, and
besought hlui to do what he could
speedily.
Charley made an examination, looked
grave and shook his head.
"Bad, Is It, Dr. Holmes V asked
Johns, faintly ; " tell me the worst
sir."
" it is a bad case, Dr. Johns," said
Charley. " I can do only one thing and
that is a costly one. I cuu give you a
prescription, but it will cost you twenty
pounds. I am obliged to ask that for
it, as I obtained it under peculiar cir
cumstances. It may give you relief. I
have seen It used with very good re
sults." "Twenty pounds?" asked the old
doctor, eagerly. " All right ; I will give
it, sir. What is the prescription ? Here
is the money."
Charley wrote on a slip of paper, fold
ed it up and handed it to the doctor.
He received it eagerly, opened it with
trembliug bauds, aud by the light of the
bedroom lamp, read :
"Dou't get the wrong pig by the tall.
Da. Chablks iiohton."
With one bound the doctor was out of
bed, but Dr. Holmes had vanished.
" Charley," said Dr. Johns next day,
I'm getting old ; you must come aud
take my practice. Your twenty pounds
will help to give you a start."-
The doctor says he never got the
" wrong pig" but once.
Anecdote of Webster.
T A WYERS sometimes resort to ques-
Ij Unliable methods in order to de
stroy the effect which the testimony of
a truthful aud Intelligent witness has
upon a jury. Mr. Webster once tried,
in an uugallant way, to break down a
woman's evidence, and he met more
than his match. It was in the some
what famous case of Mrs. Bogden's will,
which was tried in the Supreme Court.
Webster appeared as counsellor for the
appelleut.
Mrs. Oreenougb, wife of Rev. Wil
liam Greenough, late of West Newton,
a tall, stralght,queenly-looking woman,
with a keen black eye, a woman of
great self-possession and decision of
character, was called to the stand, a
witness on the opposite side from Mr,
Webster.
Webster, at a glance, had the sagacity
to foresee that her testimony, if it was
of any importance, would have great
weight with the court and jury. He,
therefore, resolved, if possible, to break
her down. And when she answered to
the first question put to her, " I be
lieve," Webster roared out; " We don't
want to hear what you believe, we want
to hear what you kuow 1"
Mrs. Qreenough replied, " That is just
what I was about to say, sir," and went
on with ber testimony.
Notwithstanding his repeated efforts
to disconcert her, she pursued the even
tenor of her way, until Webster, becom
ing fearful of the result, arose, apparent
ly in great agitation, and drawing out
his large snuff box.tbrust his thumband
finger to the very bottom, and carrying
the deep pinch to both nostrils, drew it
up with a gusto. Then extruding from
his pocket a very large handkerchief,
which flowed to bis feet as he brought it
to the front, he blew his nose with a re
port that rang distant and loud through
the crowded hall.
He then said "Mrs. Greenough, was
Mrs. Bogden a neat woman ?"
"I cannot give you full information
as to that. She had one very dirty
trick."
" What was that, ma'am ?"
"She took snuff."
The roar in the court-house was such
that the defender of the Constitution
! sat down, aud neither rose or spoke
flgutn until After Mrs. Qreenough vaca
ted her chair foranother witness, having
ample time to reflect upon the Inglorious
history of the man who had a stone
thrown at hia head by a woman.

The Abba's Surprise.
AT THE time the A hbe Cochin llv
ed in the seminary of St. Sulpice,
he wus allowed a double louis a
month for pocket money by his family,
which he spent In charity. Among the
recipients of his alms was a poor mother
of a family, whom the Abbe found on
one holiday at the gate of the seminary,
where she was walling his coming out
to beseech his charity, on account of
some additional Hfflictlon.
It was the end of the month, and the
A I 'be told her she must wult a few flays
longer, for the good reason that he had
no money. The woiuuu uikiii this urged
the impossibility of the tiling, and how
ever little he could give her it would
save her life ; the Alihe looking almohed,
protested that he did not possess one
farthing I The woman then seemed
seized with a fit of inspiration ; she ex
claimed that he was a Sulut, aud that it
was iu his power to work miracles, and
if he would only lake the trouble to
feel Iu his pocket she was quite assured
that he would Hud something that he
did uot expect, aud which would suffice
for her Immediate wauts. .
For the sake of peace and quiet, the
holy Abbe was going to turn his pocket '
Inside out, but In fumbling what should
be find, to his great surprise, but three
franc pieces I He gave them, instantly,
to the wretched wouiau ; and theu, full
of joyful humility, ran to throw him
self on his knees in the chapel of the
Virgin of St. Sulpice, where he spent
the remainder of the day In thftiiksgiv
lug for the miraculous gift that had been
bestowed on him, and entertained a
holy fear of the power of which he was
the depository.
On his entering thesemlnary he heard
an exclamation of "There he is I there
he is 1"
"Let us humble ourselves," said he;
"let us humble oui selves."
"Upon my wind Cochin, you have
put me terribly out!" cried the compan
ion who shared his cell with him, aud
who was waiting for him at the door,
"you have left your small clothes here
Instead of mine lu which I had eighteen
francs 1"
A Hill Full of Serpents.
Mr. J. II. Beeson, the well-known
Central Branch contractor, gave the
Patriot a pleasaut call a few mornings
since, aud from him we learn the par
ticulars of the most remarkable snake
story we have heard. In the extension
of the Central Branch road from Belolt
to Cowker City the line passes through
the town of Glen Elder. A short dis
tance from Glen Elder, on the Solomon
river, Is a steep aud rocky bluff, about
fifty-five feet high, a large portion of
which had to be blasted away to make
room for the road bed. A few days ago,
while the excavation was in progress, a
blast of ultra glycerine caps and giant
powder tore off an unusually large part
of the bluff, and down the declivity
there came writhing and roiling a bunch
of snakes, which Mr. Beeson assures us
was almost as large as a barrel. They
were of different varieties, rattlesnakes
predominating, with racers, garters, etc.
When first disturbed from their warm
bed, they were active and dangerous,
but coming out into the severe cold they
were soon comparatively harmless, and
were killed by the men without much
trouble, or covered up in the dump by
earth and stone. But this is a very small
portion of the story.. Every day and
every blast, since the first batch appear
ed, has brought another huge bundle of
reptiles. Every hour a moving, writh
ing lump comes rolling down the hills,
and what escape the laborer's pick and
shovel, crawl off to get covered up In
the dump. Thousands of them have
been unearthed and killed, and every
blast brings thousands more, far out
rivalling to number the famous snake
den of Concordia. AUhtion Kan.)
Patriot.
A Wise Deacon.
" Deacon Wilder, Iwant to know how
you kept yourself and family so well
the past season when all the rest of us
have been sick so much and had the
doctors running so long."
" Bro. Taylor, the answer is very
easy. I used Hop Bitters in time and
kept my family well and saved large
doctor bills. Three dollars' worth of it
kept us all well and able to work all the
time, and I will warrant It has cost you ,
and most of the neighbors one to two
hundred dollars apiece to keep sick the
same time. I guess you'll take my med
icine hereafter." See other column.
tT When a young man arrives at the
conclusion that his employer cau uot get
along without hlm.he has always arrived
at the most fatal step on his journey
through life. Fatal, because the plaoes
on earth have always been filled by
those coming after them.
