The Doctor came first to our village was a tall, dark, sour looking indi vi? ii, a little on the shady side of forty, called himself a widower, and was ther handsome too, but for all that girls failed to ?et their caps for him. generally the case where single itlemen take up their abode io our ce I don't think that he got many ps ;t:ts at first, for ali he had a sign with M. Rose, M. D., in gilded letters, H>ve the door of his office. He bad not been io our village more lan a mouth when Mrs. Wiggins, the ressmaker, arrived, and fitted up a shop litt opposite the doctor's office. The dressmaker was also tall and irk, but unlike the Doctor, she had a ;aked nose and sharp black eyes. They were a strange pair, fur, though ley never spoke to each other and [either owned to having made the jither'? acquaintance, they took care to irow themselves in each other's way, [nd by their actions to show their coo ?.mpt for each oilier. If the doctor chanced to be passing [he dressmaker's shop slam would go door in his face, and if the drcss jaker chanced to be passing the doctor's Office f he woithy Al D, would turn iway as though disgusted beyoud mea lure. .Pgtople soon saw the two were trying annoy each other, and some of the lischievously inclined resolved to help them One morning we were all astonished it seeing the doctor and dressmaker had Exchanged signs. This made couside.a )le ?port, for neither of the two seemed know anything about the matter.and >f course no one took the trouble to io Ifonu ei.her Now it happened on that day that a couple of strangers came into our village from the couti try. They had been married but a few weeks, and the fond husband, as soon as he cadd to town, purchased a nice dress for his bride. .I think Charlie," she said, ''that I j will have it cut by a dressmaker before go i ni: home, for I might nor get the chance again for a mouth." . .'Very well, my love," returned the husband. "There is ooc just ahead of us ; you can step in there." "Aod there is a aoct"r's sign on thc other side, Charles. While I am getting my dress cut you can drop in at the doctor's, and get that mediciue for Mr. Groff." "So I can, Julia, for I am glad that you reminded me of ic, or I should have forgotten it." And the two parted, one going into the doctor's office with her dress, and the other into the dressmaker's shop to procure some mediciue. "Hem !" coughed the latter, bowing before Mrs. Wiggins ; "is your busbaud at borne, madam ?" "And pray win, told you I had a hus? band, biri"' was asked in return. "Hem! a mistake-your brother, I mean," apologized the young man "My brother? I have no brother." ."Well, it is the doctor I wish to see, madam." "The doctor, sir ! Do you mean to in? sult me ?" "Why, no. I saw the sign and" "You must be drunk !" she exclaimed, indignantly ; "mine is a dressmaker'! sign." "I beg your pardon, madam, but let me request you to read for yourself, ano you will find that" "As if I don't know what is on mj own sign ?" she interrupted, rising hastily and going to the door. "The wretch !" abe cried, as her eye? rested on the doctor's name. "To think that he dared do such a thiug ! i'll teal his eyes out!" While this interesting scene was being enacted at the dressmaker's, another nc less so was transpiring at the doctor's Wheo Julia left her husbaud, sht tripped up stairs aud knocked lightly ai the door of the doctor's office. The worthy M D. answered thc sum mons in person. Supposing him to be the husband o the dressmaker, ehe made known he business at once, by saying, "I cami sir, to have a dre-s cut." "A dress cut? he repeated in astonish ment, "i don't cut dresses." "Ah sir, I beg pardon, I thought tba Mrs. Wiggins resided here." "Mrs. Wiggins! No, indeed, ma'am - that amiable person holds forth oi the other side of thc street. Though i you don't want your dress spoiled yo better keep away from her." "Dosen't she have any sign," aske the little lady wonderingly. ?'Why yes, don't you see it?" The doctor popped out his head, bo instead of reading Mrs. Wiggins, b read A. M. Ross, M. D. "Thunder sod lightning?" he ex claimed, "she bas been stealing m sign!" "And you have been stealing ber judging from thc name at the door," n turned Julia. DOWD weot the doctor io a heat < passion, aod giving ooe glance at tb dressmakers sign, he tore it from i fastenings, and bearing it in bis bane made bis way across the street,?t tb very moment that Mrs. Wiggins mad tbe discovery of bia sign banging i her door. "How dare you, madam"-he erie" "hov dare yon play such a trick c me?" throwing the bit of painted tin i ber feet. "How? dare you play sn eh a trick c me" she exclaimed io tura, graspic the sign which boog at her door, an easting it ai him with all ber might. "I, madam; wouldn't piek op yoi sigo io the street, so don't imagii that I would pot it at ny door." "And ? To?ld as quick totic as aoything bearing your nara '?A weak subterfuge, ma dan "A weaic subterfuge, alf." "If you put your sign at again, I shall throw it i ato tl madam." .'If you put your sign at again, I will put it into the fir "And you need not mind g me all the time from your Your face is not so attractive, ns me, though goodness knows never look out but I see it thing" "Which proves, sir, that looking for it. Indeed you ar sprawling ont before that wind if I ?ry to keep my eyes away bark, to take notice of you." "lam not a dog, madam, thc must be a cat, judging from y?u purr about your custo detest cats." "Not more than I detest you "I. want none of your slang." "And 1 want none of you.s." "Go into the house aod mi business, don't you see what crowd your IcDg tongue is here ?" "lt is your own toogue that i: :hem this way " "1 should think that it was your tongues, said the farmer. "Indeed !" exclaimed il rs. V flouncing into the house. "Indeed !" echoed the doctor, away in disdain "I think dear," said the far his wife, "that we will go el: for what we wish." "Yes, Charles, I will not pi either of them." j And the young wife too husbands's arm and the two away from thc crowd . of ti villagers. This incident was the towo tal whole week, and, in the meautiu people made up their minds th; Wiggins Hind Dr. Hose must be i way related, but how they cou decide? All were anxious to learn son of the two, consequently the found more patients and thedrcsi more work in her linc, thau eithet have done otherwise. But the mischievous one wi changed the signs had succeded s in makiogsport, that be resolved av.aio. Accordingly, one momin dressmaker received the lol note : "Will the fair Mrs. Wiggins ] the writtr of this epistle for dari j address her ? Ile has seen and at , her, and wishing to make her ac tunee, takes this way to iutroduee Self. "If the fair Mrs Wiggins is iu to look favorably on his suit, shi please ad Jess a reply to Hers t ru "A. P. BLAIH And the same morning that the ? maker received the above, the c came in possesion of a neat, perf uote, which informed him that a 1; that vi.l?ge had become charmed his personal appearance and wisht open a correspondence with him. note was signed "Agoes Avery." 1 Ol course both these epistles wc: swered, and both answers (ell ?uti bands of thc funny mau who hap: to be the clerk of (he post office. A correspondence between him [ i the two followed, which, of course j very amusing ; but he was obliged t , j it at last, for both the doctor and d I maker were anxious for au ?uteri she, with the Adolphus who had be r enamored by her charms, and he , the fair lady who felt such au int ' io him. t The correspondence had been ca . on about three weeks, when one dat ' dressmaker received a letter full of aird snch nothings, but which e r thus: * "I with very much to see you, Mrs. Wiggins, but the doctor over * way keeps such a sharp watch th ,' have been fearful lest he has a | claitu Indeed, he has been koowi declare that he would murder the who would dare marry you So r see. my love, wc must be very can r I will avait you to night at preci 8 o'clock, on the road near the one i bridge.

BLAIBE. * While Mrs. Wiggins was gas r smilingly upou the bit of note pt u which she held before her, the Do sat io his office, reading th'e foll d ?D&: "As j ou seem to be so anxious foi interview, I have resolved to grant it one to-u ght. Meet me at eight o'cl on the road near the one-mile bridge shall come disguised, and wish you do the same, for fear that we may watched, I will wear a blue Teil, : ^ you may put a rose in your cajp. T 8 each may recognize the other with ' trouble. "Till i.o night, gooc-by. A. A.1 )f The Doctor rubified bis hands aa finished reading. ^ "I am glad !" he exclaimed ; "g jg that everything happened just as it d |e glad that we bad the quarrel ; yes, g I about everything." ltj That evening the Doctor left office precisely half-past seven o'elo j tod took bis way toward the ooe-n ,n bridge. at "I will be there early," he mosed he walked along. "It is very \ ," comfortable for a lady to have to n IZ ont OD a lonely road ai eight, and tl ? she night be noticed." Fifteen minutes after the doctor I ir left hie office the dressmaker, attired ie t snit of deep mourning glided ?ii her shop sod took her wsj ap the rt , io the same direction that the doctor had taken. "I have the blac veil safe io my pock et," she said to herself, "bat I wii? not put it on until Iget beyond the village, for fear I may attract attention. I do wonder what sort of a chap that Blaire is ? A good looking one I dare say, and if he is well to do io the world, I shall cease to regret that quarrel with-pshaw, I never did regret it." j On she walked in the soft summer ! twilight, thinking of the past, tbe present, and the future. It was nearly a mile to the bridge, and the shadows had deepened, and the stars had come ont in the clear sky above, ere she reached the trusting place. At last a be id in the road brought her in sight of the bridge and also of the doe tor, who was walking along momentarily j expecting to greet the lady who bad become so interested in him.. As soon as Mr's. Wiggins distinguish? ed the form of a man in the road .before her, she thought of her veil, and, taking it from her pocket, she threw it over her bonnet. As the doctor observed the token of recognition, he rushed forward with ex? tended hands exclaimed : "My dear Agnes, this meeting gives roe the greatest of pleasure !" "Afjnes!" echoed Mrs. Wiggins mentally. "Surely the man must be going crazy. My name is not Agoes and I never signed myself so in the world. However, I will not pretend to notice the mistake, for mistake it must be." Then aloud, "I am sure Mr. Blaire that the meeting is as great a pleasure to myself as to you, and-" "Mr. whom did you say?" interrupted the Doctor. "Why, Mr. Blaire of course," returned his companion. "I fear yon are making game of me Miss Avery " "My name is not Miss Avery." "And mine is uot Mr. Biaire." "But you wear thc blue veil, madam." "And you told me to wear it. sir. "I told you to wear it? Why you i?formed me that you would wear it yourself, and desired me to wear a rose, as I have done*" "You are mistaken, sir." "I tell you that you are the one who is mistaken." "And are you not Mr Blaire ?" "No but you must be Miss Avery." "I tell you I am not." "Ah ! now I recognize your voice. How could I be mistaken when hearing the squeaking voice ot Bens Wiggins." And how could I be mistaken when hrariiiii the bear like growl of that de I testable Doctor Hose ?" , "Madam, this is a piece of impudence which I wjll never forgive. How dare you write to me ? I "IIuw dared you write to me ? I ; oever would have answered the letter if I had supposed Mr. Blaire aud you WvTc the same? '*IIow dared you address yourself to me under a false name ?" "I did not address you under a false name, but you addressed yourself to me under a fal>e name." Here a giggle, which came from a clump of bushes near at baud, startled the two. "Ha! wc are watched,"exclaimed the ductor. "Say, rather, that we are the viotims of a stupid joke," said Mrs. Wiggins, "Why some one must have been writing to both of us." "Zouuds, I believe that you are right. They are even now enjoying our dis? comfiture." "And I shall not dare to show my face io the village agaiu." And Mrs. Wiggins began to cry. lier tears seemed to affect thedoetor, who said after a pause. '-Bess, I have often thought that we were very foolish to quarrel on oar wedding night." "So have I'" she sobbed, "but it was you who run away." "I know it, bot I loved you, else I should not have followed you." "True, so you must. Strange the thought never occurred to me before Why didn't you tell mt." ?'Me tell you ! Why ie weald have been very uobdaylike." "So it would. Of what was I think ing, I say, Bess. I am glad some one took the business in bind for os. Aren't you ?" "And now let us commence where wc left off on the night we quarreled-ot in other words let as go back to th? village and unite our destinies as wc once intended to do." "But you will not get angry and rut off again if I chance to wear a rost given to me by another gentleman. Wil you ?" "No Bees, neither will yon wear : rose giveo to yon by another gentleman Take off your hine veil and accept ra; arm, and we will walk back to thi village." The dressmaker did as she was re? quested tod the two walked away to gether. The next morning, there was a mai riage in our village, and before nigh the dressmaker's sign was down, o rather replaced by another, whose neal gilded letters were so arranged that th passerby read.

HAVE YOU A LS A TH FR FACTORY IN TOUR STOMACH f A scientific Frenchman has made the discovery that the ordinary tea drinker takes into bis stomach daring the year leather enough to make a pair of boots. The reason of this may readily be made clear. A decoction of tea contains tannin, as tannie acid, in solution; milk contains albnmen, and as these two substances are the chief ingredients of leather, and as they actually unite and form leather when brought into contact with each other, the drinker of tea makes a sort of shoe maker's shop of himself.
