tor, swilling was the word he used I
-boo! hoo! hoo! Oh dear me! to h
think I should ever have lived to r
hear such dreadful language out of fh
my husband's mouth; and then, says t]
he-'and making me as miserable a n
wretch as walks the earth."' . tl
"Pretty plain talk," interrupted
the Doctor, with a shrug of his h
b-oad shoulders. C
"Oh yes," sobbed the victim, "and i ti
so awfilly coarse andunkind. If I si
had had a spell, and died there be- y<
fore his very face, I don't believe he tI
would have cared a snap of his fin- h
ger. I tell you, Doctor Ellis, there a]
is such a thing as a man becoming,
hardened." o
"Evidently,' replied the physician p,
with a laconicism absolutely painful.
"But my husband has nothing in M
Lhe world to trouble him but just'la
my poor health; and I am sure I re
can't help that." This remark was b(
more in answer tQ her companion's ta
tone and manner, than the one sin
le word that had accidently escaped ttI
his lips, and this the Doctor felt. st
"Anybody would think by the fo
way he goes on," continued the irte hi
woman "that I enjoyed myself with w
apasm,s and cramps, and fainting ri
its. Anybody would think it was
? pleasure to me to feel, every time ti
E see a funeral procession, a if the cc
earse was going to stop at our w
loor nexf. Oh yes, such a life is m
very enjoyable, very, indeed." I
Doctor Ellis took no notice of hi
these last words; the man's eyes tI
grew hdminous, anti his whole face fy
declared that he considered himself
aster of the-situation; andif Mrs. d
Stephens had not been so entirely "]
taken up with her own ailments, e
ental and physical, that honest w
face wduld have betrayed him. ka
"You say," hebegan, settling him- la
self in the large easy chair, and as- w
ming a strictly professional air, b]
&Mat your husband has nothing to ti
brouble him but your health; how
lo you know that, Mrs. Stephens? sil
"How ? Why, how do I know any- tI
thing ? By the evidence of my sen- p
ses. Don't 1 know that John Ste- 01
phens has a splendid business that
Looks after itsel, a magnificent in- g<
some, and money enough to live on
the bare interest, as well as afami e
ty need to live, if he never ,entered
his o eeagain while he has breath ?" M
"Buitmoniey isn't everything, Mrs.
tephens," proceeded the physician,
with a calmness almost mephisto- ic
phelian. "There are other troubles si
eside money troubles. How about t
alth, madam? a
"aealth ?" repeated the lady with
a smile she intended to be sarcastic in
bo the last.degree. "Health!f Doc- h<
bo Ellis! Why, there isn't ahealth- it
ierer sounder man than m-y hus- Mi
bad in the whole United States. si
e eats more in one meal than I do
in three months." - a
"The e is nothing the matter with ic
your husband's stomach, Mrs. St- w
phens." Dr. Ellis shaded his face n=
with his hand, and waited farther e:
developments. Mrs .Stephens mis- te
took this attempt at forced conceal- in
ment~ for emotion, and immediately n
assumed af sitting posture, brushed
herlair away from her forehead, and -S
looked piercingly into her compan- t]
ion's face. ol0
-"Why do you'accent the word Ii
'stomach' so strongly, Doctor Ellis!" la
shinquiredin anxious tones. Mrs. h
Stephena was forgetting herself, te
pnd this the Doctor hailed as an ex
cellent.omen.
"iOnly that I might make you un
derstand that a man's digestion -
could be most unexceptionable, and t!
yet hebe far from being sound in o1
other directions." ~l'
" Then younmean to telme that w
my husband is sick?" i
"I do." ti
"Perhaps you will still go further, p:
and say dangerously !" ti
"If you desireit." t
"Oh, Doetor Ellis, how cold and ti
unfeeling you are! I should think as
you ought to know by this time,"- u
and just here Mrs. Stephens broke .ri
down en.tirely, and sobbed as if her
heart would break S
"Ought to know what. Mrs. Ste.
phens ?" inquired ths Doctor, with ti
unakd-for deliberation. h
"You ought to know-to know
that my-my husband's health and at
life are of a good deal more conse- t
quence to me than my own."
"Ah, ilideed," interrupted the 0
phyician, with an elevation of his e:
bushy eyebrows, immensely sugges
tie of a contrary opinion, as well as
several excellent reasons for said
opinion.
"Doctor Ellis, will you be'so kind
as to tell me whad he matter with
my husband? 0'
p
Mrs. Stephens was now on her h
feet-tears all wiped away, eyes .
flashing with a resentful spirit, and d
only a little quiver of the lip, to
show how deep a wound the kind
heart in her bosom had sustained.
There she stood, reproachful, defi- sa
ant, determined, womanly. Thr
koctor was delighted, and such an
onest face it was that he carried
)und with him from door to door,
om sunrise to sunset, every day in
ie year, that it was a mighty hard
.atter to keep it from a betrayal of
Le whole purpose.
"Mrs. Stephens," said he, "you
ive no cause to be alarmed. If I
Lm only get your co-operation in
te business, I feel certain that I

"Why have I not been informed
this before?" broke in Mrs. Ste
1ens, imperiously. -
"Who was there to infori you,
adam? Your husband does not

ally like to be told when you have
,en sufficiently calm to hear all

"But, Doctor Ellis, I should
ink you ought to have under

rt are nothing, compared to my
isband's." Mrs. Stephens was
Beping again. "There is no sac

Le Doctor; "delightful bundles of

"This, then, is the trouble. I

"Oh, yes-yes, for mercy's sake,

is. Stephens.
"You know what that is."
Evidently Mrs. Stephens' anatom
al knowledge was limited. She
took her head in despair. "Some

ed atlast.
" Yes, the pericardium is the
embranous sac that holds the
art. Well, sometimes this sac
is no matter about particulars,

tddenly came to a stand stilL

"Oh yes-I used - to," and Mrs.

"As an occasional tonic, I have no

John Stephens sought his home

A strain of music met him on the! i

wife was the musician. He was just
in time to hear
"The eyes that cannot weep
Are the saddest eyes of all."
For a full year this charming I
voice had been silent as the grave. 2
"Company,perhaps," he muttered. i
Curiosity overcame him. He open- i

A SOUTH AFRICAN ADVEN.
TURE.
It was on the afternoon of one of
the hottest days of an African sum
mer that I left my farm to ascend
the Draakensburg Mountain, for the
purpose of finding, if possible, an t
eland--a species of antelope- to
replenish my larder for the cominga
Christmas I was at the time living
alone in a glen formed by two spurs
of the mountain, with but few neigh
bors, and no town within fifty miles;
but my Kafres had become suffi
ciently civilized to understand that
Christmas-time meant unlimited eat
ing,and Iwished,by providing game,..
to save an ox. I had only five-or six
miles to go, and was well mounted ;
so I did not hurry, but, leading my
horse up the steep pass, reached the
place where I intended to sleep, just
as the sun was setting.
The scene around, though quite
different from our ideas of what it
should be in December, was very
beautiful. There was no snow, no
leafless trees with their delicate tra
cery set off by the glittering hoar
frost, nor dark green firs bendingI
tinder their white load; but still
there was enough to keep me.stand
ing. forgetful of fire-wood and all I
had to do for my comfort during
the night.
I was on a narrow ledge of rock,
separated from the network of hills
beyond, by a deep,. perpendicular(
gorge, at the bottom' of which, so
low down that I could hardly dis
tinguish it, ran a little burn. The
setting sun gave the peaks that rich
purple hue seldom seen away from
heather ; and on the other side, as
far as the eye could reach, lay the
thorn-.covered flats and hills of Na
tal..
Under the rock was a large cave,
where I had determined to sleep.- ~
It had in olden times been a regular
resort of the Bushmen, but few
came near it now-indeed, I had
not known they came at all, btit on
going in, I found some calabashes,
and the ashes of a newly-made fire,
that could have been left only by
them. There were other marks on*
the walls, though evidently of great
antiquity: rude sketchea and draw
ings of cattle,. horses, bows and ar
rows, and even of a Bushman riding.
it is most curious that a race so low
down in the scale of humanity that
their language contains only a few
unpronounceable clicks, and who,
with the exception of fire, in their
mode of life differ but little from
the ape, should have learned to do
this. It may be that it is a rem
nant of an old sign-language, or the
last relic of some former civilization.
It was a full moon, and, after ad
miring the wonderful lights and
~shadows thrown by it on the bro
~ken ground, I turned in and slept
till near daylight.
As soon as I could see, I started
to hunt. Much to my annoyance at
the time, though I had afterward
cause to be thankful that my horse
was spared such a gallop as riding
down an eland entails, I could find
nothing, and could tell by the spoors1
that no herd had been about for
some days. It was nearly nlozI~ by i
ore I becante coninc4 of thlis; and i
tempted by the abade of a line of ,
tree ferns, edging a little brook I
whose bubble sounded refreshingly i
amid the great heat, I took my sad- r
die off, knee-haltered Prince, and.
lay down. Of course, I soon dozed
of but became awake in a couple of
hours-I say 'became' awake,' be
cause it was not the natural ronsing.r
up of a person who has been asleep,
but a sudden return to conscious. i
iess, without any movement, and
vith all my wits about me, and that
nward feeling, which perhaps some
)f my readers may have experienced,
)f something being wrong, and a
ension of all the powers of hearing
o discover what it is. I had not
ong to wait; whiz came a tiny ar
ow, striking the stone on which
ny head had been resting,and where
ny cap still was. It did not require
auch 1hinking to know that a Bush
aan's hand held the bow it had
ome from, nor to determine that
he best thing for me to do was to
ol quietly into the bed of the little
>rook below me. Luckily this
vould afford good* shelter, and.I
ould almost reach the edge with
ny hand.
The tremendous violence with
7hich these streams - come- down
rom the hills during the heavy thun
[er-storms, wears a deep passage
ven in the hardest ground; and,
hough there was bnly about an
Lich of water, and it was not a yard
>road, the banks were to the full
our feet high. Leaving my cap
vhere it was, I rolled over as quiet'
y as I could- but just as I was dis
6ppearing, another arrow came and
truck me in the thigh, the only
art not yet in safety. It took all
ny self-control to continue my move
3ents as before untiI stood crouch
ng at the bottom, "Why," the
eader may exclaim, "the paiu of
uch a tiny arrow could not be so
,ery great!" No, neither is the
ite of a snake in itself; yet of the
wo the latter is the loast to be dread
d. It was poisoned with that
eadly skill for which the whole
ribe is famous; and, as I-stood be
ow, I knew I had little chance of
eeing another sunrise.
However, with that self help that
ien who lead asolitary life acquire,
instantly drew my hunting knife
ipped up the thousers, and with a
teady hand cut out the arrow-head,
Lot sparing myself. I then took
ay flask and poured powder into the
round, and gently striking a match,
et fire to it. That done,I took off
ay belt, and using my full force,
trapped ita little 'bove,as tight
a it wouldg& gd
I do not think that in doing all
his I liad'any hope'of saving my
ife; there was only a sort of feeling
hat I was doing my duty. The
>ain was not very great, and my
hief thought was for vengeance on
he malignant creature, that I
soked on as my murderer. I right
y' imagined-he was not aware of his
access. ~No doubt he thought he
samissed me, and thatlIwas still
ying asleep-in proof of which I
oon heard the whiz of another ar
ow striking above. Moving down
,bout a yard, to where the over
tanging ferns would conceal me, I
tuietly raised my head; the ground
ras wlightly rising, and I could see
round for some distance. There
w'as my horse unconsciously gra
ing away, but the grass was too
ong for me to see my enemy's
rhereabouts. I-, howrever,.guessed
hat he would try and get between
ts; and so I waited, watching and
gasping my ifle.
Ten minutes passed in silence, and
hen I fancied that the grass was
moving unnaturally. In another
econd, a hand and bow appeared ;
:heard alittlengand saw the
iny messenger of death again pierce
he spot~wherEI had been. I kept
nyself fronm firing, though;I covered
he 'plce. Suielya ie ould become
cupatient, and give me a better op
ortunity. Another tir minutes,
aid satidenly, in a different spot,
whichi commanded a better view of
iy cap, a little black head peered
>ver the grass. It was enough; I
ired, a shrill shriek and a spasmod
e spring into the air told me that
.had nothing more to fear.
Getting out as quickly as possi
>le, I dragged myself-for the limb
ras now much swollen, and becom
nig more and more painful-to my
addle, where I carried in a little
>ottle some eau de tuce for snake
>ites, and poured out a large dose.
Lter taking it, I caught my horse,
addled it, and picking up two of
he arrows, went to have a look at
he dead Bushmai. He was scarce
y over four feet high. with arms so
ong and thin as to reach deformi-'
y, short and bow-kneed legs sup
>orting' a-lttle round body-he had
vidently not been starving lately
and features so closely resembling
hose of an intelligent ape, that, had
here been sa tail, no one would
'ave thought twice -about the mat
er. I did not remain long; there
ras no time to lose, so, taking his
ow, I mounted, and putting my
orse at his best pace, started on
aif long ride. I knew perfectly
rell that the only chance, su,ch as it
ras, of saving my life depended on
cry reaching Ladysruith that night,
nd obtainig medical assistance.
E'he distance was fully sixty mile
and with but one exceptiin, there
rae nothing bnt Dutch boere'
houses on the road, whence I could
not hope for any help. For the'fn-t
twenty miles I kept steadily on my
way, though the agony was 'dread
ful, and I could hardly sit :my
horse. I then reached arn English
man's farm, pulled up, told my sto
ry, and asked for spirits to keep my
streggth up, and the loan of a fresh
horse. I shall not easily forget his
wife's scared loo as she came out
and saw me by the light of her flick
ering candle. . I suppose I must
have seemed half mad. They
brought me out a: full bottle of
whisky and a tumbler, which I fill
ed and drank off neat; but they had
not got a horse "up." They were,
he said, all running, and it would
take hours to find them. So I
started again. I do not remember
much more of that wild, moonlight
ride; I became drowsy and half de
lirious, just retaining sense enough
to go straight. How I did it, I do
not know, as for the greater part of
the way there was no road, and event
in daylight and with nothing the
matter, I should have hesitated in
more than one place. .However,.
Providence or instinct guided me
right; and, as I was afterwards tod
-for -I remember nothing about it.
-I reached the town at ene A. m.
just eleven hours after I had left
i had finished the wisky on the
road, and it was to that the doctor
ascribed my ultimate recovery.
For nine days I was in a high fever
and delirious, and it was more than
six weeks before I jrot up; and for
years afterward the wound did not
heal. Even to the, present day it
occasionally bursts out afresh, and
will probably continue to do so to
the end of my existenee.
A Qu.nm EssAY O DoGs.-LThe.
following essay on dogs was written
by a small New England boy last
summer: "As this is.the tale of a
dog, it may be inferred that every
dog has a tail, and "that everytail
has a dog. I liyve never seen a,dog's
tail run over two fee, but the tale
of a dog can be of any length, and
two. feet always run under the- tal:
AWMIdog-has its tail, -andvety
tail its dog, so-also.hiss ev.ei-y til its
wag and every wag his tale. IAd4
can wag his tail one day out of two,
but a wag can itell his tale. eight
days out of aweek making a total
difference between the ag of a tail
and the tale of a wag of' two. days,
seven w'ags and a tail. Mr. Shak
speare (late of England),. says that
every dog has his day, butit can
also be said that every day has its
dog, so that we have day-dogs and
dog-days-dog-days are twenty-fouir
hours long without the tail, but day
dogs and watch-dogs run to any
length if they are not ehained. 'A
watch-dog on-land is the same as a
watch-dog on ship-boai-d, l-ut they
are entirely different from dogging
a man's watch or watching a man's
dog. I. have often seen a star -fish,
but I never heard of a star dog, al
though astronomet~s do say there is
a dog-star, and that by fallinig,down
over a dog you can see stars, but
this doable vision~does not affect
the measurement of a dog ; he con.
tains. just eight feet, two fore and
two hind. There are, many ways
in which this dog's tale could be
drawn out, but a good, healthy dog's
tail should not be over six inches
long."
Sidney Smith's description of
himself in eighteen hundred and
forty-four:
"I am seventy-four years of age,
and being Canon .of St Paul's in
London, and a rector of a parish in
the country, my time is divided
equally between town and country.
I am living among the best society
in the metropolis, and at ease in my
circumstances; in tolerable health,
amild whig, a tolerating churchman,
and much given to talking, laugh
ing and noise. I dine with the
rich in London, and physic the poor
in the country-passing' from the
sauces of Dives to the sores of Laz
arus. I am, upon the whole, a hap
py man; have found the world an
entertaining world, and am thank
ful to Providence for the part allot
ted to me in it."
