I r ? Tom's CSItoice, - 1 a Peter Janscn was a wealthy and ccentric New Bndaud farmer1, c y T1 iie owner in fee simple of many road and fertile acres of available .u tnd, and the proud parent of a 1 ery promising son, now near 8 rown, who in his infancy had been r esiirnatcd bv the not altogether a i' w nheardof name of Tom. Now Tom Jatisen had been rought up in a very careful and ,n roper manner, and it was there- 11 re ;iot to be wondered at that, as egrew more mature, lie was reirded as a very exemplary young an by those who knew him intiateJv. lie was sober and indus ions in his habits, cultivated autl iined in his tastes, with disposi- ^ ou to get along and prosper in the * orld, as his lather hud done before , !: But the time came when he was r< ic and twenty. This is a remark- S(; >le episode in the lives of most 111 >ung men, when fully freed from J11 m-o:ital restraint hv the construe mi of the law, they think they ^ low so much, and subsequently J urn that they know so little. 11 Now possibly Peter the pore re- v! u-<led this event in his son's life ^ tli as great concern as?did Tom e junior, for certain it is, that ai ortly thereafter he summoned the | un^mau into his presence for a tie private conversation. '"Well, Tom,' lie said, 'how docs 1 s'cem to be one and twenty V 'Seem! why 1 can't see as it a ems any different from any other ne.' * l)l 'Can't, eh? 0, well you'll sec ick enough, I guess. I suppose Jc 0 next thing you'll be thinking will be getting married.' nc '0, I hadn't thought of such a 011 m<* yet in earnest.' i'" 'Hadn't, eh? well, you'd better sc thinking; getting* married is out "as important a thing as'll r.a >r happeu to you.' nt Ves, I suppose so.' a11 'Suppose so? suppose so? you'll oiv .so by and by. Well, Tom, th irre old enough to begin to think he iousiV about this matter. I ain't tli ing to Luvoyou running around la< settled it 11 d unsteady in your su bits and character. Now, the ro< ickcr you pick you out a wife up I settle down, the better. Mind ha ii, my boy, this wasting three or T1 ir of the best v.?ars of your life Mi sowing your WiL'l oats, is a very Pa lisli principle for young men to Lu icrc to. Now, I d*>n't propose to sua re you do anything" of the kind, an i if you avoid it you. won't have vai larvest of briars and thistles to :lier in afterwards. Now, just as! tin m as you will pick you out a!ab< }d, prudent, and industrious lit- coi wife, I've a good farm to give to. 1, and enough to set you up in to sonable style, you understand?' wa Yes, sir.' hai But not an acre nor a penny of ne shall you possess until .you hi) ,*e complied with my wishes*' < But, father?' plr I mean what I say, exactly, and ' more; make this matter your gi^ ;t business, and when you have < formed your part of the contract, j vill attend to unite.' > ? JJut this is rather sudden.' gaj That makes no difference; if f .1 are not satisfied with my terms, mi ! world is wide enough for both To us, you are big enough and dai ght enough to earn your own i in<r: if vou can do better by Lu irself than I can do by you, ma y, start right out in thfc world,!kn you arc of age.' I have stated { terms, and I do not propose to rar si* them.' tha But who 3hall I marry?' [ There's Israel Ives's live daugh- en, s, and I'm certain you can have So] lr pick out of t^e lot. They've M;i bccu well brought up, and any roc I onei ot them is good enough for you^ so go ahead; and as-soon as youureport favorably, the farm is yours-' 'But which one shall I take, father?1. 'Which one shall you take,' repeated Peter Jansen ; 'it must be a bright man. surely, that cannot decide at sight what woman to pick out7 of a dozen, and a siugular youth you are not to have your eyes on one already. However, make your own choice, and you'll behappief, live longer, and prosper better in your domestic affairs generally.' With these concluding remarks, the.ioud father turned away, and Toity was lel't alone to his reflections. liow Tom Jansen was not a verdant young man; he had seen considerable of the world for a person of $is age and circumstances, but he was very diffident and bashful. It ^fas this quality or his disposition that made him so adverse to lad& s' society, and had occasioned j no little anxiety to old Peter, who hadiilready began to fear that Tom wouild be a confirmed bachelor, hcnice his desire to kindly assist Touts matrimonial matters along. For some moments after his father's exit, Tom sat profoundly thinking; he believed he did have an ihexnressible sort of tenderness forth? youngest daughter of Israel [veil. If not strictly beautiful, she iva^at least a very sensible girl, and kvould make a practical housekeepjr. Tom had but little sentiment n his composition; his tastes were none matter of fact. The more fom thought of matrimony, the nore fixed became .his determinaiou of committing himself as soon is possible. i A nigbt or two subsequent to the ; onversation with his.father, it was ] loticed that he attired himself with inusual en re before going out, as ' e insisted!, to attend the "debating 1 ociety." His father and mother 1 egarded each other significantly, 1 s II tney "\veii unaerscoou wnat i -as uppermost in Tom's mind, but icy gave the young man no inflation that they suspicioued his iteutions. After a lingering look at lhe t )oking-gJass, Tom started forth in- \ ) the darkness', taking the shortest { wd possible to the residence of ^ >racl Ives. ?

Leaving his hat upon the rack in e hall, Tom did as he was bid; I a sat down upon the outer edge of J n< e chair ana awaiteu nic young;w ly's coming. lie heard several ! pi ppressed giggles in the adjoining;o#l otn, and a subdued suggestion j on tlio part of Israel that thcyj'** d best not act silly and foolish.' *en the door opened, and in sailed ^ iss Sopbronv Ives, followed byk .tience, Priscilla, Malvina amljw* icy Ives, each simultaneously fm liling ami trying to look as sweet jea d pretty as possible. They ad- hi need one by one and gave Tom a ,m seting, af ter which they arranged j qt jmselvcs .in a graceful group out him; then began the liveliest '1 uversation lorn had ever listened i0" lie began to grow uneasy andiw; lose his self-possession.

No answer came to his question ? from those lie was seeking. * 'Tom,' said Lucy, 'I believe they * are all hiding.* " t Just at that moinont the two- ap- ^ proached each other with their e hands extended, and they were each t suddenly clasped in each other's t arms. This was a sensation so new s to Tom that it almost deprived him ? of articulation. c <0, is it you, Tom ?' said Lucy. i CI do believe they're fooling us.' 1 She suddenly removed the hand- * age from her eyes, and the next ^ moment Tom felt her dett little ^ fiugers untying the knot in the r handkerchief that was hound about r his head. r 'Look a here, Torn,' she said in <3 a half provoked sort of a way, 'just ? see what trick they've played upon i us. I might have known what they a were up to. Never mind, we'll r have a real pleasant visit now.' ( They sat down side by side on 2 the high-backed sofa, and Lucy r talked so pleasantly and encouragingly to Tom that he soon felt ^ perfectly at home, lie was almost 1 astonished at his self-possession. ^ The minutes lengthened into hours ^ and, well, he never could fully ex- h plain how it was afterwards, but the 11 fact was that Lucy promised him t that she would be Mrs. Tom Jan- * ant^ i AnnttAH It r\ tttn n nlnim V vi nistits> ui/ yyao i uuuj LU ^laiiii her as his own, and Tom went c home that night very proud and t< happy, and on the following morn- * iny" he informed his astonished father that any time that farm was k ready lie would be happy to go to ^ liousekeeping. c: Peter Jansen kept his word, and a# rom was often subsequently heard ti to say that if it had not been for h that friendly game of blind man's )luff lie would hardly have known w low to have made a choice. Cl P The Yoang Children. ^ ?? w T It is worse than folly, says an ex- i change, to send children to school 91 >efore they have developed reason- tfc ng faculties. To the infant of four w 'cars, school is a prison, the teacher NY i dread being whose frown is death, ;*] nd whose smile and kindly notice Jb overpowering. Therefore, chil? j*1 Iren ought not to i(o to school unil six years old. They should not earn at home during that time any n< norc than the alphabet, religious cachings excepted. They should Hi ic fed with plain, substantial food, 1" t regular intervals of not less than su Dur hours. They should not be al- pi 3wed to cat anything within two or ours of bed time, mey rsfiouJil a leep in separate beds, on hair mat- er essts, without caps, feet first t?1 armed by the fire or rubbed until sic crfectly dry; extra covering on the sa: >wer limbs, but little on the body, pu 'hoy should be compelled to be out J vv< f doors for the greater part of the !pli ay, from after breakfast until half jes 11 hour -before sunset, unless in se] amp, raw weather, when they lould never be allowed to go out- do de the door. Never limit a healthy Ier lild; it is cruel, unjust, and dan- nn crous. What you have to do, do loc at onc6, and have done with it. pr< ever speak harshly or angrily, but rm lildly, kindly, and, when needed, nu rtnlv?no more. Bv all means ar- rei inge it so that the last words he-Jpn veen yon and your children at bed i th< me, especially the younger ones, rel lall be words of unmixed aft'ec- liir on. as ? 110 Fat JIeat tor Consumptives. ? coi taslo for fat meat is unfortunately lea )t universal among children, but hen it shows itself it is often re- c]0l ressed by parents. This taste is an- ag her expression of the want of tho ' ! ;ing system which we eannot disrettrrt ird with impnnity. Without iats , t io organism cannot be built up in ^ jrfeetion. Fats counteract the ten- car ;ney to consumption. Observation ths \s established tho fact that persons on ho in early life show a taste for fat tlifi eat seldom fall victims to that dis- affi ise ; and, vice vcraa that consumptives j qu: ive generally shown an early rcpug-i,ra] ince to such food.

Doctors?A Wlttj^ Defence of the Professor K R, Smith, the fanous surgeon and physician, lecured 011 "Doctors," a.few days igo, at the Masonic Temple in Balimore. We quote as following rom Ihe Suii's repprt:. Being introduced by Mr. W. II. Sadler, the Professor said he needirl iia i nfrz-wl nofinn da lin Irnaxir 'V? AAVS 111 ul WUHULlVHj IVO UV CVIIVTT hose present, or was - known to< hem, if not professionally, as a cmi-centenarian citizen of Baltimore. lie was not present to tr&luee that profession, so many of vhose members he Mrrtlelf hacfo aught; for in so doingHfe wool? raduee himself. His tfi&id, Gov:< !?ratt, had asked hinvr 8&me Urn* igo, if doctors at large nore harm than good, an^^ had epliod that, taking the jailmate nembers,- they aid hot, but if [uacks in and out of the profesion, and patent medicines were ncludcd, he must answer in the ifirmative. It was the same with eligion, no oue will deny that the Christian faith is productive of ;ood, but take all beliefs and the esult is bad. There is empiricism in every proession; there is much of it in reigion, and very much in the law; mt not so much in medicine as-Jaw lecanse there is less chance for lumbug. [Laughter.] There is 10 profession so much maligned as he medical profession. If a docor is put on the stage he is invaiably made ridiculous, and even hildren are taught to dread docDrs. Ma says, "Be a good boy Villie, or I will send for the docDr," and Willie is afraid as he ( nows the doctor will come for a ( je. [Laughter.] He told an inident where a boy had an abscess, nd when Prof. Smith was men- j oned the boy said he would have i im.' Something- had to be done that, 1 liiie not according to moral prin- 1 pics, was necessary. He (the t rofessor) was introduced as uncle ohn; of California, and talked ] itli the boy about bis disease. * he surrounding parts had to be laved of hair, and the boy wan- t id to do it himself. While he i as doing it the Professor said he c as working awkwardly aud asked ic boy to let him have the razor, s he boy did so, cheerfully, and in a 1 instant the abscess was opened, 8 at the boy cried out. "You devil! I rou're riot Uncle John; your lme's Smith!" [Laughter.] ; Great men, as well as sinalj, ma ^ned doctors. Napoleon did not <j ce doctors, but favored a certain irgeon. This inconsistency was h ain in view of the tact that no p iccan be a good surgeon without h knowledge of medicine. Fred- 0 ick the Great was also inconsis- H nt in sending for the great phy;ian, Dr. Zimmerman. The Kiug " id, "I presume doctor, you have it a great many souls out of the ? )rld," to which the doctor reted, "Not so many as your ma- g >ty, nor with such glory to rny- w If!" si If the medical profession have nc nothing else they nave at *: ist benefitted humanity. In the 1 itter of small pox particularly b] )k what it has done. Here the t( ofessor detailed the progress ide by the profession in the treat- k jnt of that disease. During his fi narks on this subject he said the evailing impression that Job had tl 3 small pox is a mistake, for it is a ated that his comforters sat by ^ n seven days and nights, where- ^ if Job had "broke out" there is w t tlie slightest doubt but that his mfnffoi'a tt-milrl liovri +f)L'On flllU'L' ,ve. [Laughtej.] Another benefaction given by ctors is that of such medicines in guard against malarious inlluen- sa i. Some sixty years ago a vessel nt up the Nile some three liun- ^ jd miles, .and after while she P( ne floating back with every soul it had been on hoard lying dead P1 the deck. Now vessels visit it plaee regularly without any ar ect and all on the account of ju iuine. Of late England has pi ned a victory over Ashantee, not improved cannon or well-drilled pc nies, but because quinine lias en ibled them to brave the insidu- a 5 miasma of the place. Quinine sI< 1 gain another victory. When, Jn it surely will be, the Darien t0 p channej^will be built, it will be az le as much by the sovereign ver of quinine as by enterprise i industry. t is estimated that there are 2,- it i distinct diseases, out of which | w< DO are spontaneous. Scarlet Tl - -a j 1 , Li _ it is ourii spouumeous, una 11 is run uostion if any treatment is good be it except nature's own. ^Thc ^ Let that diseases cannot be cured broken up without Herculean . ilicines is a great mistake. Even ^ monary consumption lias been tij ed ere now by nature herself, rC{ . in this connection Dr. Smith pr< ited a great many very interest- inf circumstances attending won- pli ful cures. Hi [e once prescribed lor a sick girl, l*ai afterward met her mother, who j I the girl got well from a home j ' ] oand not the medicine. The fessor was anxious to know it is was, and the woman was ident in telling. At last she sas I it was simply the burned ashes wi seven hairs cut from the cars of of ilack cat. [Laughter.] The he J tni^^vhereas man matured at 21 and Jied according to the average The Professor closed" abruptljyust, ^ when the audience jwere wapafcd | with interest in*the simect. Kisi&g from his chair, he expressed Bis thanks to the audience and; bade them good night. ?Zt \ i T.^i. n 1l J _ <r> * r -i' : * Joan swings onuiapepsa^ ?

I have seen a goose eat till tjbfy couldn't stand up any more, and tfyn set down and eat sum, and then lijr down and eat sum, and then roll over And eat sum more. \ " { , Jw&yg I have tried living on filtered wakp nnrl orninnr horAfnnt. fWr /Hiananahtr aiul D O J 7 T> : ; y? that didn't bit the spot. 1 bav soaked at water care estabisbments antil I wnz so limber that! iould not git myself back again ifa- V;^ side of mi Baldwin apparel. I bought a saddle-hoss once who ivas got up expressly to kure dispepihy?he was warranted to knre the lisease in 90 days or kill the boss. He was warranted to trot harder. ban a trip-hammer, pall wnsser on * jit, stumble safer down hill than enny >thor hoss on the fat-stool. 1 rode ths hoss antil i waz all over l jolly, and then sold him bridle and ill for eixty-cight dollars, and got iued by the purchaser, and had to my him ninety dollars and sam seats lamages, bckaaze the hoss had the Nimshys,' a disoaze i knu nothing ibOUt. . ? The hoss and fixings kost me 450 lollars gold. I kontracted for a eleven kords oy lickory wood, kross grained, and as ihull ov "wrinkles az an old cow's iorn, and sawed away three months n it, and the pile seemed to gro biger every day. ,, > I finally gave away the saw, and t j 1 . i t _ /V i . rnat- wooa inaro was ieit, 10 Bave mi fo, and snt down discouraged, a luaro victim to tbo everlasting disepshco. I have lived at the sea side, and ambooled in the saline flood until i as az well pickled az a number one lit mackerel. I liav dwelt at Saratoga, and taken 10 water like a mill race and still had 10 dispepsbee. I hav walked t\vo miles before reakfast and then ett a slice ov dri >ast and haff tho yielk ov a pullet's j, and felt all tho time az weak az & itten that had just come out ov a - * tt. I hav laid down more than two loueand times, and rolled over once minnit all nito long, and got up in io morning like a korpse, and there idn't nothing seem to ail me ewiy hero in partiklar. 1 liav read wnoie nocrys on tbe ummuk and liver and when i got tru i knti a grate deal less what waa le matter ov me than when i began*. I hav drank whiskee with roots it enuff to carry off enny bridge or * ,w mill dam in the country. I hav worked on a farm for mi Vitus and board, and dieted on fride )rk and ri bred until i was thin az e sermon ov a seven day baptisa caeher.
