The Ancient bioosc* That's what they said of hnn. Ilis moustache was gray, he was past thirty-nine, and, not being married, was considered solitary. *It mattered little to him. The care of his patints made him bright and active. His profession was sufficient for his wants, lie 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 speculation of the village. The subject was now threadbare, and they ceased to talk of it. He saw much of female soeietv. lor he was one of those %/ lino, rare natures, that make brothers to girls. His genial good nature, and above all, his ability to keep secrets, made him indeed the brother to ball the girls in Wauehusetta. They came to him with their little pains and ills, and their little heart-breakings and love sorrrows. For one he had pills and advice; lor the other, a ready ear, counsel, help and confidence. No wonder bally Depford came tearlul and angry to him, in her little difficulty with Sam I barrel t. A small rago made her the more attractive. As the doctor heard her woeful tale, he could hardly fail to study her lace with admiration. Years, 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 he 'bothered* as she expressed it., with a seriotu love affair. It was a trouble, a voxa lion, an interference with her pleasure, and? | 'Well, there! It is enlirelv dread ful, and I don't want it, nor him. .Just as I was fairly out oi school> and preparing to have a splendid time with the girls, then this thing comes along, and I don't like it. 'That is ho, doctor. Is it not.?1 The doctor had no immediate reply to make. lie would consider the case ?and her. There was something so attractive about her face, and it was no smal wonder that Sain liarrotl, the la?t. bean left in the village, was desperately ii love with her. She frowned. lie was so slow. 'Come, sir, parade your wisdom. I can pay lor advice, and I want it.1 'Go to bed early, get up late, and sleep it ofT. 'That is very good for hia*. Tell HlJl ~jt \ j\ 11 I 1 vd< i] >( * T YMOEO, S.

'Then ho leaves his card, and says | he will call again. And he is sure to do so.' 'I*ooi boy! He has it very bad this | time.

'Yes, for I am getting mad. I foci like breaking things, and-?' 'You do. You do it all the time, l'oor boy! I am not surprised! Here you go about the place, being as attractive as possible, and then yon break all our hearts, and scold us for it. Wlutdo you expect? 'It is not my fault. I did not make myself.' 4Well?no--not exactly?' 'For heaven's sake,?loo tor, why don't you do something? Advise me.' 'Get married!' 'Doctor, you are too hateful,' '1 presume so; doctois always are. Hut that is lay advice. Get married; then he can no longer trouble you.' 'Now you are silly, doctor, and I shall not tell you any more. You do not care a straw for my troubles, after all, and?' Here she began to be teary, and threatened to have a good cry. 'My dear, my advice is not so bad. You must admit that it you were engaged lie would leave you al once.' ' 1 suppose so.' 'Yes. Then get engaged; or, if you don't care to go so far, arrange with some young man to he engaged to him temporarily. Then your Sam?' 'Me is not my Sam, thnnk Heaven!' 'Then your Sam will take unto himself another wife, and when till is secure you cvui break your engagement, and all will be serene again.' 'What an absurd idea! Jumn int..

I should have to tell mother how it really stood, and lather would be, of course, let into the secret The rest need not know. Goodness! what a scattering there would be, and how all the old ladies would talk.' 4You need not care. It would be easy to act your part, and in a few weeks all would bo comfortably over and everything would be sermic again.' 'I declare, doctor, the more I think ol it, the more amusing it seems. 1 is very wicked, no doubt, but then the case is a hard one?' 'And demands heroic remedies.' 'Precisely. Now the next step is to get up a good lover. I shall not expect. much. Any straw man that is convenient will answer. l)o you know of one, doctor?a good one? lie must be nice, and all that, or I could not endure it. 'Well?nc?I cannot think of one just now.

She would return the ring in the morning. 1'leased with this unspoken plan, she set the ring firmer on her linger, and prepared to nnieive her company. Cousin Maty Deplord was charmed with the ring, and was profuse in her congratulations. naiiy j.oolc Ihoni quietly enough 'It is ail a joke, you know, dear.'
