ie Doctor and the Dressmaker.
BY BELLA FRENCH.
The Doctor came first to our village
was a tall, dark, sour looking indi vi?

called himself a widower, and was
ther handsome too, but for all that
girls failed to ?et their caps for him.

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

"How? dare you play sn eh a trick c

This incident was the towo tal

people made up their minds th;

decide?
All were anxious to learn son
of the two, consequently the
found more patients and thedrcsi

But the mischievous one wi
changed the signs had succeded s
in makiogsport, that be resolved

dressmaker received the lol
note :
"Will the fair Mrs. Wiggins ]

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

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,

* 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

do the same, for fear that we may

)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.

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. This fact
may account for the leathery appearance
