CHiPTER 1.
It was Q warm afternoon in May ; the sun was ahining brightly out of doors, and elruggled. wilh partial success, to enter the dusty panes of the school-room windows. Some robins wero busy building a neel upou a soliiary tree that etood near, and bordered the :ravolIed street.— Old Mr. Pearson was spading some beds in hia garden that lay on tho opposite side of the street; and as he was now soon weary from age, he stopped frequently, leaning upon his spade, and looking with much appsrent interest upon the rows of early peas that were doing iheir hest to repay his early and careful culture. There waa little else to be asen from the front windows of the school-room; but thoso who sat upon the north side, the '* first class," had a view of tho Merchants' Bank; a iarge brick building, one department ofwhich was the Reading-Room.— The windows were raised, and a row of very scdale citizena were standing by the long lah'*^. looking very silent and very wise. Upon iho outside, between two windows on ihe rear ofihe building, leaned the huge jawbone ofa whale. It was often a subjeci of Bpeculaiion with the girls, who came to the conclusion that thc moiJth from whence it was taken might easily have swallowed Jonah, but wouid find it raiher diffi¬ cult lomake room fora horse and chaise, as one of our school-books averred a whale's mouth was capable of doine. Bur " Cousin Lizzie" insisted upon the propriety of believing the school-book, nolwiihsianding the ocular demon¬ stration to the conirary; for, she igenibusly reasoned, "what wou'd our hooka be good for, if lhey didn't lell the truih?" But then she was one of ilic little girls, and sat upon the west end ol the room, near the window which looked upon the quiet home of a sweet and popular poeiesg. The neatly kept and carefuUy trained flowers in the garden, lhe shrubbery m the from yard, and the woodbine that grew ao luxuriantly as to cuver the whole of one side of the house, and in which the birds nestled so cozily and sung so sweetly, almost unconsciously drew the anenlion of tlie passer-by, for there were no oiher houses in the atreet lhat bore similar marks of tasie and refinement. Lizzie's Uttle, warm, loving heart delighted in tt, and she said she was never tired looking at it, or at the little shoemaker's phop opposite. She liked to hear the tap, tap of ihe little hammer, and see the booiB and shoes with nice new patches upon them, hanging round, ready when called for.
The afiernoon to which I refer was memora¬ ble 10 myself, as being the lime when I was first conscious oflhat ralher disagreeable sensa¬ tion, the toothache. Kow there was something dignified, I fancied, in sufiering what people, older than myself, complained ofso frequently ; so I tied up my face, and very heroically tried to .study. But It wouldn't do; the tears would come, though I tried hard to keep them back and choke dowti the had feelings. So, after making a great many mistakes in my ciphering, and gelling an ugly blot in my manuscript book, I placed all my things in the blue desk appro- jiriated to my use, and, going to the teacher, aaked ifl miglii bo excused for the afternoon.— The request was readily granted, and, lurning my steps to my taiher'a place of buainess, I -sought his sympaihy.
*' No help for you, my daushier. but lo have tho tooth extiacied."
" Oh, I can't have ihat done !" I exclaimed ; " it will kill me !"
" Oh no, it is one of your first teelh ; the pain will last but a moment; let me take the trouble¬ some thing out, and a new one will come in its place."
" Oh no, no," I said ; and, holding with both hands my flushed face, I sat down upon a low seat.
Just then Dr. Carter called. He waa jl tall, gaunt, stern-looking man—such a personage as a child-shrinks from, and women greet without a smile.
" There, now," said my father, " the doctor has corae jusl in lime ; he will draw your tooth before you can say Jack Robinson."
I dropped my hands in my lap, sat erect, and said '* it doesn't acho so hard now : I'll wail lill another timo."
" Let me see youriooth," said the doctor: " I will not pull it ; I will only look to see whai's the matter."
With all lho confidence of childhood in his word and skill, I drew near and raised my liule face for his inspection. Betore I knew whal he was about, his loi/g, bony, and medicine-iosting fingers were in my mouth, and grasping firmly the ofiending looih. One strong arm was thrown around me so firmly ihal I could not struggle— one sharp, fierce pang, and the sufiering mem¬ ber was upon the floor.
"There, now I" he said, exuliingly,'" you see it's jusi noihing at all lo havo a looih out!"
I gave hini one look, which, if it expressed haif lhe indignation and contempt in my Htlle hearl, would have made him, hardened as he was, chango countenance a Ultle; and tben I walked silently out of tbo store towards home. " Dr. Carter ia a very wicked man; he bas lold a falsehood," 1 said, as I entered the room where my moiher sat sewing.
Sho looked up in surprise, and when I had re¬ lated my story, she, who had taught me a strict and unaweringregard for truth, could not acquit him, though ahe tried to paUiate his ofFenco.
I thought that night more kindly of the man when I Jay down to sleep, for I fancied his con¬ science must trouble him, and thai ii would be in vain for him to sleep after committing so great a sin.   My childish sympathy was all in vain for. Dr. Carter never having found the conscience in his diiseciions of ihe human frame—having looked in vain for it from the pia mater and dura mater of the brain, ihrough the  thorax, spinal marrow, midnfr, spleen, &.C., to tho curious and complicated bones of ihc humon foot—he there¬ fore denied its existence.   What he could see with his eyes, hear with his cars, and touch with his hands, he beUeved.    fJe knew professionally at least—ibr when I firsi remembered him he was an ofd  baclielor—that man was born of wuman, lived but a brief existence, and dropped into the gravo.    Then the human frame slowly crumbled, mingling its elements with tho dust of earili.   All this he could see, and therefore believed, ajid could even tell you the propor- lionaof phosphate of lime inthe bones, the con- Hiitueni elements of blood m the veins, or the comparative weight of muscle and fat.   But, maihcmatiLally, he could  not provo  that   One "strong to deliver and mighty tosave" had proclaimed Uimseli the "resurrection and the life ; ' iherclyrethc bible was to hxm an idle
much fat in the humaa system Was productive of disease, and he had some way «f putting faia theory into practice, for fae wae lean ca on Arab, and about as mnacular. I now think he must have produced this faeatiby state bf the sf stem by never allowing himself to laugh: a good, hearty, side-shaking titillatioQ was never known to proceed from bis corporoaity; > He wasalmoat passionless; incapable of deep hatred or warm love; a man without a sou!; a second Csven- diah, endowed with a.clear, cold, investigating intellect, but it was intellect unmarried lo feel¬ ing. One passion alone, the ifairst for gold, Jink¬ ed him to his fellow-men, fie hoarded his gains, or carefully invested them where ihey broughtgood interest. His housekeeper, a thin, pale, sad-looking woman, retained her place by her economy and silence. Dr. Carter had litile interest in listening to the conversation of women. There was only one lady in lown to whom ho would listen patiently, and to whom he (ried to make himself agreeable. This famed person was Mra. Leo, mother of littla Lizzie. She was a widow, but young, beautiful, and wealthy.— Her husband was twenty yeara her senior, but she had been a devoted wife, and worthy of the worshipping lo^e of her fatherly spouse. Before he died, he said to her :—
"Alice you will mourn for me, but time will hcaJ thc wound, and then you must marry ngain ; it is not my wish that you should spend the best ofyour life clad in widows' weeds."
Mrs. Lee felt then that she ehould never wish to marry again, and entreated him not to men lion it; she was sure his place could never be filled. Her cheeka were yet moist with the tears which this conversation drew forth, wben the doctor made his daily call, and, from some remarks of Mr. Lee, he learned thoir cause.— Ho manifested no interest or sensibility on the subject. Why should he ? What was marri¬ age, in his eyes, but the most healthy and re¬ spectable way of perpetuating the human species 7 As for love, ii was as fabulous as the childioh tale of " Jack's Bean." He would as soon expect to mount the upper skies on such a frail ladder as that, as to ascend to felicity by wedded love.
Atas.' poor Doctor Carter, you did not know that there were glorious romancers on earth who believed ibis very love lo be vastly, in somc re¬ spects, like Jack's bean:
" It springs not by the calendar;	
 You look for it and sco it not,
And love e'en while you look :
Tbo iicurless flower is up, consummate in the birth.

The  raptures of the dying saint,   thc Bioical philosophy ofhia mfidel pauems, and the awiul remorse of the conscience-stricken de- bauchee wero, in bis view.bm so many mani¬ festations of variable lemperamenis—the efiect produced by disease upou the brain.   Dr Car¬ ter was agood surgeon ; why should he not be? The human body waa to faim merely a curious machine, wonderfully adapted to ita uses; but then it was but the highest development in a long chain of being;   Slowly, Uutsurely, we had advanced from lbe scarcely.organized animal- cules 10 tadpoles, lizards, fishes, &.C., till we could now claim the ape ami monkey for anccs- lors.   Having, iherefore, no " immortal long¬ ings," no   tbcological speculatioDB, no.moral pabulum to provide for ihat inmost hidden eei/, lhe true man, he devoted all his energies to his profession.   And ;o ho came lo Jove the scalpel, andthc disseciing-knife, and the companionship. of dead bodies, belter than social converse with the   living.   His  scientific   aitainments   were highly appreciated by the inhabitams of Old- bury, andlhe aneiocracy of the place thought u quite beneaih their dignity to be healed by oiher skill than hia.   Ii was rather strange, too, for be had little refinement or taste himself, waa generally perfumed with his own drugs, careless m dress, extremely  parsimonious   in all  his dealings, and BiifTand awkward in manner    He bad small, cold blue eyes, that looked aa if tears would be chilled at the  fououin-head j you never could imagine ihem Umpid enough to flow from such a source.-  His.lips wete thin,his nose regular, and not above medium aiier-a fine prominent nasal organ would haye redeemed his face from the  sordid, pinched-up expreasbn which it alwaya wore,   it was faia belief that

The next morning after the incident of the tooth-pulling, I called, as usual, on my way to school, for Lizzie. We went round by State Sireet, as it lengthened our walk, and the air was BO mild, and the sun so bright, we were in no haste for lhe confinement oftbe school-room. As we lurned the corner, we observed a no'*/ sign above ihe door ofa building which forsome weeks had been" To let."
"Anoiher new doctor," said Lizzie, as she stopped to read" Dr. H.Parker." " Moiher saya the young doctors come here and hang up their signs just long euough for Dr. Carter to look them into a paralytic fit, and then both owner and sign drop silently outof sight. Dr. Carter is a very learned man, I suppose ; mother says he is the greatest surgeon in the State. I wonder ifhe will evr die !"
The question started a new train ofideas. Who knows but Dr. Carter will live alwaya 1 Ue un¬ derstands so much about disease, and the me¬ chanism oflhe human frame, that perhaps he will bc able to keep himself alive as long as the world lasts. This was quite a re lief; for, having been nurtured in the strictest puritanical tenets, even as regards the material naiure of fulure pun¬ ishments, I shuddered when I remembered the curse pronounced upon the liar.
" Lizzie," said I, in a very confidential voice, "I will tell you soraething, ifyou will promise never to tell."
No, I never will as long as I live," was the prompt reply.   I then told her of the falsehood ofDr Carter. Lizzie was shocked ; her truthful lillle heart ould find no apology for him. " And then to think he should put his long arms round mc go   tight, and his fingers in my mouth!    Bah 1  I would ratbor take  caster-oil and rhubarb  too.   I wish there was another docior.   Perhaps this one will stay."
It will do UB no good if he does," said Liz¬ zie ; " our parents would have Dr. Carter if there were a dozen more in town ; and then you know how long fae attended upon my faiher, and how wonderfully he cured mamma! I wish Icould love him better; but I fancy he does not love little girls."
We had now arrived in the school-room, for¬ getting all the doctors in the world in our ambi. tion to mount to the head ofthe spe 11 ing-c lass _ On the afternoon of that day the sky was ob¬ scured by clouds, and a heav^^" shower aaemed impending. The girls looked anxiously in the darkened west, and then at their new gingham bonnets, just prepared forthe season. Lizzie with her new kid shoes and linen sack, was not much troubled, for she made signs wilfa her fing¬ ers to tell me thot ahe guessed WitUe would come.
And who waa Willie ? Dear reader, in the cherished pictures of your memory, doyou not often see the playmates of your youlh, jusl as they looked in their fresh young childfaood ?— And do you not delight to linger upon the pic ture, and forget that time, sickness, and sorrow have marred that beauty, dimmed the brightness of those eyes, and brusfaed the bloom fromthe cheek ? Dear broiher Will! if ever a cherub in heaven assumed a childish form, then weri thou that spirit. I cannot now, in all the familiar intercourse of childhood, remember one selfish act, or one burst of ill-temper. Every body loved Willie. The neighbors petted him, lhe children sought him in their play and their vex¬ ations, and old people asked favors of him, for he was alwaya ready to listen to their wants. But Willie was not. a quiet child, as one might suppose ; on the contrary, he was "never slill," and did not like Sunday because he must be so careful ofhis clothes, and try to be so very quiet. He liked lo play so weil that he would forge' the lime of school, orthe hour of meale. But then ho always felt so sorry if lie had incommo¬ ded others, or given pain to his parents, thai it must have been a hard heart that could have inflicted punishment upon so penitent and offen¬ der.
One raorning, I remember, tho housekeeper asked my father what he wished for breakfast.
"I will send eome fresh mackerel from the market," was his reply. "Willie, come with me and bring it home."
The child leit his play and hastened lo accom¬ pany fats faiher.   Nothing moro was seen of him, however, till the breakfael-bell   rang,'when, flushed with exercise, he took his usual ploce at the tanlc.   The housekeeper, supposing there had been a mistake asto its being tho regular market-day for fish, had prepared another dish. In lhe course of the meal, however, ray father says— '* Why didn't you cook the mackerel ?" " I have not seen any," was her reply, " Willie, where are they ?" said my father ; *' did I not hand you a couple in the market ?"
The (iale boy dropped his knife and fork, and such a look of bewilderment as he assumed made us ail laugh.
Speak, child," said my father; "didn't I give you some ?"
Yes, sir," said Willie, "and that is allJ remember about it- I cannot tell what has be¬ come ofthem ;" and the child rubbed his fore¬ head, and seemed trying to connect a broken chain of ibooght. My father was never stern wiihhis children; and Willie seldom incurred bis anger. Many days passed, and Willie could temember nothing save that he took tfae fiah from his faiher in the market. Bul, playing ono day with some children in tho " ruins," as the col- lection of cellars and rubbish remaining after a large fire was called, he aaw the raaQkercl lying on the remnant of a cellar wall, just wfaere he hadlaid them whon aaked to stop one minute and play ball. But he did not moaa'to be care- leaa or disobedient, and literally obeyed td the Ietter:&|l commands.
•• Willieyymi must never wear these shirts to bed/'said, mjr'inothor. when, to his great de- light, she pat some little bosoms and collars on anew ast oi shirta;"always remember your night-drcas."- .; y..;.
" Yee, mother, I certainly will," said Willie withempfaaBisi,as heatlmiringly surveyed tbe shirta which so pleased his faocy.^ Not many weeka after, cousin EdwiEird,.who,was studying medicine with Dr. Carter, aod who waa Willie's bedmatctin retiringjone cold night, foand hia liula companion in a state of perfect nudity.
Now, though the fair and beauliially foimBd child ttiighi bo a study for an artist' (and coaam
Edw'ard.had an eye and taste for the beautiful,) yet a co:d room in a December night was hardly, the plaee.and time: besides, fae wondered at tfae child. " Willie, where is your night-dreas f" " I couldn't find it"—the washerwoman could have told the reason. "And, you know, mother says I mustn't wear my new shirts lb bed on any nccount."
But one thing Willie never forgol orneglected, and that was his cousin Lizzie. Ifa cloud roae whon she was at school, he ran for umbrella and overshoes, lest ehe efaould take cold. He gaifa- ered tbe first fiowers of spring, and the last of auiuma, for faer to admire. He foupd out.the first strawberries, and would bring tbem lb a fresh greeii leaf to his little cousin, before tfae reat of ua looked for anything but blossoms. It was not to he expected that he would forget her such a rainy afternoon as the one to whicfa I have referred. And, sure enough, ae we stood at the windows and doors, looking out upon the wet street and tfae liny rivers in tfao paved £>ut- ters, wo spied tfae Utile fellow witfa his load just turning the comer by the bank. But just then horse and chase turned into tfae street, and dashed furiously on, knocking the Httle boy un¬ der the whefila. The girls screamed, and called to tho leacher; all save Lizzie and mysell, who ran as fast as our feet would carry us. But two men were there before us, one of whom wasa stranger, tbe other Squire HalL
Carry him rigbt into your office, doctor," said the latter.
" Oh, Willie ! Willie I can you speak ?" said Lizzie, aa she bent over him, her curls falling on his pale face.
He unclosed his eyes on hearing her voice, and said—
" It didn't kill me, Lizzie ; but my leg aches so! I'm afraid it's broken. Is it?" he asked, turning to Squire Hall.
Meanwhile tfae doctor had been examining it, and pronounced it o simpje fracture, and was proceeding to set the limb. Lizzie diew Squire HaU aside, and asked^- " Can he do it well 7   Sha'n't I call Dr. Car¬ ter who knows so much more about it?" -
" The doctor ie out of lown this afternoon," said the squire. "But don't give yourself any trouble; Dr. Parker here will do the thing up right."
Lizzie looked agoin at the stranger, and her countenance aoftened a little when sfae saw his broad, faigh forehead, large, full, clear blue eye, and the kind expression of fais face as ho talked so cheerfully to WiUie, and called him a Httle hero for his patience. She would not leave WUHo, but stood holding his hand, while I ran for my mother. On my return, I found her talking very earnestly to the docior. " And then he will not be lame always ?" " Oh no; at hia age itwill heal again soon. It is not a sad case cither; and, if I succeed in setting it right, a few weeks will make all wcll again."
Lizzie brushed the tears from ber eyes, ihrew
back  her  curls, and  talked  very  playfully  to
Willie, while she bathed hia face with* Cologne.
That afiernoon, Willie and Lizzie learned that
there wero doctors who loved children.
It was very hard for our active WiUic to keep Blill so long, and remain quiet in bed ; but Liz¬ zie carae every day to see him, and broughi iiim flowers, books, and little niceties.
One lillle incident will illuatroie her kind dis¬ position ; Very early one morning, she went trudging through the street, bearing a huge bag of rags towards lhe book-stora. It was as much :is she could well drag along. Dr. Parker, who was his own shop-boy, was arranging his oflice as she passed. They had become well acquain¬ ted during his attendance on Willie, and he bade her " Good-morning," and expressed some surprise at her huge burden.
" It's only the rags I am carrying to Mr- Gil man's," she said, as she laid the bag uponthe door-step, while she stopped a minute to rest.— " A long time ago, when I was sewing patch¬ work, I used to be very wasteful of cloih, ond mother told me that all the bits and ends were used in making paper, and that I might have all the money tfaey brought, ifl would be prudent and not waste eo much. Well, I've collected all these,'* she said, pointing to her bag-; " and I got up vory early this raorning and came away before breakfast, sothat nobody would ; know what I waa about; for Willie said yesterday that he wished be could havo the ' Arabian Nights,' and I thought that, with wfaat money I had in my purse, nnd what Mr. Gilman would give me lor these, I could buy a nice liltle red-covered copy which he has to sell."
The docior smiled, and, shouldering the bag, walked on with her, listening wiih much inler¬ est tothe little talker.
What will your mother aay, Lizzie, when she finds you have been out eo early in the morn¬ ing with auch a load?"
" Oh, I guess she will laugh, and ask me why I didn't send Jim, the hired man. But Jim is a great talker, and I thought likely as not he would tell his siater Sally, that lives at uncle's, and I should lose tbe pleasure of surprising Wil¬ lie, after all. Butperhaps moiherwiUaay noth¬ ing about il, for she has been confined to her room some weeks, and Dr. Carter, wfao comea everyday, says if ehe exerts hersLlf much she may bring on the old complaint in her hip. I suppose you know what a wonderful cure he performed for her some years ogo?"
"Why, no, I have never heard. I should like (0 know," said the docior.
"Why, sir, she hadn't walked a step for three years, nnd her cuse puzzled ail the ufoctors far and near. At laat Dr. Carter, who studied a great deol upon it, brought a curioua machine, " magnetic" aomething, I don't remember, and he invented a supporter for her. After using hem a while, ahe gained strength, and has been growing better ever since, until within a few weeks. Dr. Carter comes everyday now; but he says mother is not very sick, and wiU soon bo well."
They had now arrived at Mr.Gillman's ; and, as our shrewd Lizzie had purposely selected all the//hck rags to be found inthe house, they brought a good price, and she had the pleasure of taking home the coveted book. She stopped ai Dr. Parker's office a moment while he wrote Willie's name, and added, " A gift from Cous¬ in Lizzie."
Dr. Coner'a-frequent visits to Greenwood, Mrs. Lce'p residence, notwithstanding her slight illness, began lo awaken the gossip ol the neigh borhood. Was it noi possiblo that even he, world-hardened as he was, might be charmed by the ofascinations fthe young widow? And was it not possible, too, that her gratiiude might ripen to a warmer feeling ?
To be sure, Dr. Carter was a different man from ber first husband; but auch was almost al¬ ways the case in second marriages.
Summer had succeeded to spring. From our school-room window we had watched Mr. Pear¬ son gathering the fruil of his labors with his thin, trembling handa. From the first crispy lettuce of the faot bed to the Uttle sugar pears, which he gathered so slowly in a little basket, we had caught daily glimpses of him. The roses in the poet's yard were all gone, and the dahlias, in their rich autumn dress, faad taken their vacant places. Apples hung ripening in the sun, and lhe pumpkins added a deeper shade of yellow each day.
The merchants and wise men of Oldbury still gathered in the Reoding-Room, yet their faces had not grown mellow with all else in na¬ ture, but new wrinkles were added ; on somo of the old West India and Liverpool merchants, as thoy were called who owiied vessels saUing ihereto, it would seem as if old Faiher Time hod beon trying subsoiL ploughing, so deep were the furrowa bia ploughshares bad mode.—- Tap, tap, wsnt the. hammer of. the shoemaker on one side of us, and silently whitened the old jawbone^ of the whale in the siinimer suns ind autumn rains.

would do no good, she pnt on ber bonnet bnd went down to tfae " Ruins" insearcfa of Willie. He was there picking over some plume, and pla¬ cing the choicest in a little basket, which he de¬ signed as a present to Lizzie.
Hollo, cox! glad to see you in my cave."— And he brushed the dust from a large flat atone, and spreading his handkerchief, asked faer to take a seat.
Ob, Willie !" said Lizzie, while tears came afresh, " I never can call Dr. Carter my father!"
WiUie started with surprise, and, in his for¬ geifulness, let his plums roll upon tbe bricks and rubbish.   " Who aays you must, Lizzie ?"
Why, didn't you know ihat he'd got a new coat, and now Ue faas takeo my molfaer to the island t"
" Why, as tothe new coat, Lizzie, he was sadly in need of'it; but about faia taking Aunt AUce out to ride, tfais doea look enspicioua."— And Willie took fais cap ofi*, rubbed his fore¬ head, and run his fingers through his brown hair, aa was his custom when perplexed.
Lizzie's tears came faster.
" Why, I thought you likedDr. garter," aaid Willie.
" I used to before you were sick; but now"
" Oh yes, I know," said WiUie, his bright eyes dancing wilh joy. " You like Dr. Parker a great deal belter. So do I. Hurrafa for Dr, Parker, I say !" And he threw his cap up in lbe air, catching it aa it descended. " If I wasa woman, I would rather marry Dr. Parker wilh fais great big heart anif little purse, than Dr. Carter with all his dry bones aud money. I suppose, Lizzie, if I wasa man, Dr. Parker's partner, say—for, when I am old enough, I mean to study medicine with him—and Henry Johnson should come home from West Point, wilh bis blue coat and gilt buttons, and his great estate that fae inherits when of age you'd mar¬ ry him ralher than a poor Uttle doctor Uke me ?" And now it was Willie's turn to look aerious, for he had conjured up a great sorrow forthe fu¬ ture.
Why, Willie!" waa all poor Lizzie could say; but her soft eyes wore full of reproachful sorrow.
" Thore, now," said WiUie, taking her pock¬ et-handkerchief, and wiping Lizzie's eyes, "don't you bo troubled; Idon't believe Dr. Corter will ever marry Aunt Alice. I heord my father aay the other day that he " must have a serious talk with sister Alice," and I guess it ia ahout this very matter. I prophesy the mar riage never will take place. You know what black Belly used to 8oy,when sfae believed some unusual event was going to tako place, " 1 be¬ lieve it in my bones .'"
"I'm so glad you think so, Willie, for I can't bear lo think of calling that old, dried.up,mum¬ my looking man, " father." I suppoae he is a very teamed man, and has cured mamma when nobody else could give her help.   I feel very
grateful to faim ; but—but"	
You don't want him (or your father ; and ho sha'71't be your father! said Willie. "So let us havo a game at "hide and seek, and then go home."
Lizzie dried her tears, and was ao engaged in her play that she forgot her troubles, till, in try ing to escape pursuit, she suddenly found herself prostrate in a large puddle of water which faad accumulated in one of the cellars. Willie led her home as soon as pofsible.and the house* keeper changed her clothes, and made her sit awhile by the fire, where she and WiUie paseed the evening reading " Robinson Crusoe."
" Tbere goea Dr. Carter wiih a new coat!" exclaimed, one of the girls ut recess, aathe learn¬ ed doctor's gaunt form passed through the street. '* It.is the strangest event that has oc¬ curred in Oldbury this fall,"
"He has worn his old one *' from the lime to which memory runneth not to the contrary," as my father onco remarked," said lawyer Mas* ler's daughter.    ¦
" Il's fl sign something is going to happen," aaid Lucy Hill, glancing at Lizzie Lee and then at the other girls!.
AU understood the. remark but Idzzie herself, who innocently sAked--
" What IB going to happen ?
CHAPTER irr. De. Caeter returned from hia ride, and, as usual, threw the reins to the little orphan boy who swept hts office, waahed the bottles, and acled as groom.
" Water the horse, and then wash ifae carri¬ age wheels thoroughly," he said ; " and here is a ninepence for your extra trouble."
The boy was stupid with astonishment; such a gratuity was as welcome as it was rare. The doctor proceeded to his study, and, after deposiiing bis new coat carefuUy on two hooks in a clothes press—a careful man.was Dr. Carter —and arraying himselfin a threadbare, old fash¬ ioned gown, that had served him for many years while compounding his drugs or poring over his well-studied volumes, he sat down in his arm¬ chair. Tfaose tfaiu lips of bis actually wreathed themselves into a smile, and the dull eyes were unusually bright.
"A blessed ihinR is gratiiude," he saidio himself. " That supporter was a happy fail of mine; but well for me tbere waa really no aeri¬ oua diseaae in tho spine, fori have no faith in such so-called remedies. But ii was capital well invested for me. Let me see ; Lee munt hove been werth $50,000 at least, estate unincumber¬ ed, most of it invested iu United Stales Bank slock. Lucky dogam I! lalmost wonder that ahe said yes so quick. But gratiiude, gratiiude. I shall begin to believe that women have souls. Al least, I shaU fancy her endowed with one."— The doctor's soliloquy is interrupted by the housekeeper's bell for supper.
A short distance from Dr. Carter's office, but in another street, sita young Dr. Parker, alone in his liule hired apartment. He is carefuUy looking over a thin ledger-book, with but few entries,and thua be muses with himself:
" Ten, twenly, thirty ; no more. Have been here six months, and tfais is thesum total ofmy receipts. Board bill, washing, and rent will lako twice that sum." (Examines a amaU pocket-book.) "I shall have five dollars left when all my e-xpenses are paid the coming day, which.will be Oclober 3lst. Well, weU, ifit were not for my widowed moiher and invalid sister, I would bo contented." Here foUows a sigh, and almost a tear ; but tho doctor rose and took his flute, and the passer-by might have recognized tho air set to those words of merry Burna— " Contented with littlo and cnnty wi' more." A Uttle. ragged, barefooted boy enters the office.
" Mammy has her bad spells coming on, and wanta you 10 come right down to Sodom, and bring along a bottle of narvous dropa,"
"Has your mother taken all thatl left with bert"
"Yes, long ago; she e*etiamoBt lives on 'em. She aays the've done her a heap of good, and she's grown powerful weak for the want on "em."
The doctor heaitaied; the summons come froma familyin the outskirts ofthe town, a district noted for its intemperance, poverty, and profanity. It waa two miles from fais office ; he hod no horse, and, moreover, he had repeatedly visited this family, furnished them with medi¬ cine, and, in tfaeir extremo poverty, had taken from his own slender purse to supply tfaeir ne¬ cessities. No fee was expected,"none charged. This boy remained in the some position, look¬ ing wistfully at the doctor, and half conscious of his unwiUingnesa. A bright thought aeemed to enter the child's mind, for his black eyes grew brighter, and shone from out tfae tangled hair and dirty face like a couple of stars in a murky night. ' '    '       -     '
" Daddy hain't drank no rum for a week,"not. since you told him how it burnt up the in'ards ; and now we have tea instead of rum fbr break¬ fast."-
The doctor was now decided, and taking his faat, prepared to occorbpany the.child, recalling to mind tfao text often quoted by his mother :— '* He that giveih to the poor lendeth to tfae Lord, " Having nothing else to invest, he ifaougfat fae might aa well put his own good works out at in¬ terest, . :  ¦
Weary, andsomewfaal desponding, he return¬ ed to his lodgings and sought repose and forgei¬ fulness in bed.
About midnight fais'bell rang, and he was sum¬ moned in great haste to Mrs. Lee's. He rubbed his eyes; thought fae mast have^eendreaming. But no, there Was 00 mistake; ha was .-wished immediately at Mrs. Alice Lee*a;'her little daughter, they feared, was dying with the croup. Ay, the young doctor underatood .it now; his little friend wiflhed fdr Bim ih her distress. .]3e lost no tinie in'hofiieriing to he^, "clmgrattiiaiing himself that he had'paid parti(iuIar"atiention io tfais disease, and had met with great success fh
" Did yoti over seo a jeweUnapig's ear?" treating it.   So dea'p waa hia interest inllie caw'
sunk mto a quiet sleep. Then, and not till theU: did he pause to tnke notica of the beautiful young widow ; for beautiful still was Mrs. Alice Lee in her young Widowhood, She invited him into her aiiling-robm, where a cup of tea and other refreshments awaited tbem.
Mrs. Lee, in faer neat wrapper, with her dark glossy hajr plainly parted, and gathered in a massive braid, was quite as .interesting as the same iady in her most studied attire and richeat ornainents. ' She now thought nothing of her personal appearance ; but faer deligfat at tfae re* covery of her child filled her whole soul, and, OS her face was but the mirror of her thoughts, she looked joyous and happy, and was in won¬ drous good-humor with tfae new doctor as they seated themselves at tbe Utile table, redolent with the fragrant beverage. The clock struck two just as Mrs. Lee passed the doctor's cup'to him ; iheir eyes met. The noble, intelleclual face oftbe one was not unheeded by the widow, and as for the doctor, he came near spiUiog fais tea at such an apparition of delight as beamed that moment on his sighu There was some¬ thing in the time, place, and hour that seenied to strike them rather comically, and they both smiled. There waa an awkward pause for a moment, which tfae lody was the first to break. " Rather a singular time, Dr- Parker, for me to invite you to take a cup oftea with us ; but Lizzie's unfortunate bath yesterday muat be an apology for such aii iinnsaol hour."
A most fortunate bath !" was tlio doctor's menial exclamation ; buihe wos prudent enough not to speak it audibly. Tfae ice was, however, broken ; and, refreshed by the lea, and cheered by the quiet, regular breathing of Lizzie in the adjoining room, the two plunged at onco into a most agreeable tete-a-tete, which was prolonged tUl the hands, upon the dial-plaie faad traversed another circle.
Again their eyea met. Oh, the wondrous magnetic power of such momentary glances I'¬ ll was the doctor's turn to speak thistime ; and, rising, he apologized for detaining her ao long from repose, saying lhat tea was a favorite bev¬ erage, and very exhilarating after such a fatigu¬ ing day as the last had proved. He then bade her good-evening, and had passed into the hall, when, stepping lightly afier him, Mrs. Lee said—
'* Call again lo morrow, ifyou please, doctor; Lizzie may need advice.
Fully convinced that Lizzie would need no such advice, the doctor, nevertheless, said-
I wiUdo so.   In the mean lime, keep her quiet and warm."
The door closed, the servants removed lhe tea-tray and retired again to their beda. The house was still. Mra. Lee sot down in on arm¬ chair near the fire, and leaned her head upon her hand in deep thought.
The sallow, brown face oi Dr. Carter, with ita cold, passionless expression, was befo-c her. Look which way ahe would, it was there in the glowing coals, in the shining brass oi the and¬ irons, in tfae very snuff that had coUected on the untrimmed lamps. Weary of it, she turned with relief to the portrait of her husband, which hung upon the waU ; she started, for a strange resemblance to Dr. Parker in the outline of the faco, and in lhe shape of tfae forehead, attracted, riveted her gaze. Another longreverie.osnow, with handa folded in her lap, she aat ond con- teraploted the picture, Riaing at last, ahe said, wilh emphasis, " This wilt not do. I am now Dr. Carter's affianced wife, ond I am no weak coquette to trifle with my own promises. I am bound to faim by tho ties ol gratitude,  if not
of	
She could not speak the word ; love and Dr, Carter never yet came so- near together, and even now they could not'tn^et. Unbraiding the long tresses of her hair, she bound ihem in a knot, and put on her neat little cap, witfa ita tasteful edge, and changing her morning robe forher long, wbite night-dress, she knelt and prayed for wisdom from above, and. strength to perform life's duties. Then glided sfae softly to the couch of her sleeping child, and lay down to rest. Little Lizzie was dreaming, and now and then a word eacaped her.
'• Oh, Willie!" was all Mrs. Lee at first dis¬ tinguished. Soon it waa repeated more distinct¬ ly, ' 'Oh, W Ulie ! I can't coll Dr, Carter"	
The sentence was lefl unfinished ; but the moth¬ er's heart knew ita close. She drew her dough- ter's head towards her, and rested it upon her own boaom. and again ascended a prayer for strength to do her duty.
Oh, how brightly shone tho stars aa Dr. Par¬ ker traversed the deserted streets of Oldbury that night! He felt an unusual elasticity of apirits ; it muat be the tea, he thought, genuine old Hyeon, so different from what he usually drank at his hoard ing-house. Ay, docior, it was tho nectar of the gods you had imbibed: but you knew it not. At any rate, tfae tea, old Hyson ihough it was, did not deprive you of a sleep almost as deep as ihat which lell upon Adam when he lost a rib ; and it may bc, as you waked the next morning, bul not untU the sun rode high in heaven, you missed a far more importont organ of ihe human system than that of which your ancient progenitor was deprived. Mrs. Lee roso from a sleepless bed; strange thoughts and undefinetl fears troubled her.
When tho lettera were brought from thc post- office, she opened them listlessly, dreading the thought of business. But one. though brief, aroused a new train of ideas. It was oa lol¬ lows : —
" My Dear Sister: Not receiving any an¬ swer to my letterof last week, which I think now must have miscarried, I have ventured to act in your affairs without any direction from yourself.
" I have transferred all your funds from the United States Bank (so called), and inveated thera in what I consider mnch safer property.— I fearacrash, and have prepared for the worst; others lough at my fears as groundless. Let me faear from you soon. Youra, &.c.
To tfais letter, Mrs. Lee wrote the following reply :—
I confide, my dear brother, wholly in your judgment and knowledge of business, and ac¬ quiesce in the late transfer ofmy funda. I faave one favor to ask—that you will keep ihia ar- ronfioment a secret. I have something of im¬ porlance to communicote to you, and will write you a long letter in a fow daya."
Having sealed and directed this letter, she mentally exclaimed, "Now for the test. Oh, that it might come !"
And come it did, sooner than she expected.-*- But what was Dr. Carter's horror and astonish¬ ment wheri ho learned tho failure of tho bank ! •reat waa the sympathy nnd regret throughout Oldbtiry, for Mrs. Lee was universally beloved; but Dr, Carter was mule; he was puzzled how to act. Dr. Parker faeard the news wiih a min¬ gled feeling of sorrow and pleasure. He was ignorant of the engagement existing between Mrs. Lee;and Dr. Carter, and he tfabught the Idas of property would make his own secretly hp^ardedlova less presumptuous.. ,Hpw willing¬ ly would he toil by day and night for tfae cfaarni- ing widow and iier gentle daughter!
Ratfaer cold and formal wiis pr; Carter >hen ho called tipbii'(fie widow the second day after the report ofher loasea. He had.preyioualy urged an early day Ibr their inarrioge. He did not now refer to the subject. Mrs. Lee perceived it in some pain,and sarpriae.; her gratitude and partiality to faer'old family'doctor faad prevented herobaervibgthe inercenary traits of the doc¬ tor. When he called ftgaln, he, .expresaad a strong deaire to go to Europe;; there was. much to imerest.htm in medical schools of France and Eiigland, and, ifhe ever travelledMt;Bfaouldbe now, as old ago would soon bo creeping upon him.        ¦    ' ¦'        ¦•        ¦..:.-

bachelor like himaelf fitted 'to make such a wo- ilian-faappy in-domestic Ufe.' -Dry bone's, and his ditstiy'study; with tfao bccatiorial change 10 tfae -¦ dissectitig-TGom of the inedical college in the neighboring city, had been the sources of his srauBemenis; the dull round, of a country practice his Ufe-Iong,;,employment. Wishing her many years of health and happiness, he still repiaiued her . faithful friend and physician, Sainpsdn'Carter
Mrs.'Lee smiled as she perused this leiter, antf b'fe'o'ling of quiet satisfaciion filled her heart as'she folded itand placed it carefully by in a private drawei-. Gratitude was nt the ebb. Dreary and desolaie os bur New England writers are to the eye of tfae aged and tfae view of Edglisnmen, they have great charms for chUdfaood. The blood that bounds through their veins is' not easily chilled, and sleigh rides, skating, snow-baUing, and sledding aupply the abaence of birds and fiowers.
" Come, Lizzie, I faave brougfat my now akolea," said WUlie; " and I want you to try tfaem on lhe pond. May she go, Abnt VAlice, just for halfan hour?"
Aunt Alice looked doubtful, Lizzie verysup- plicating.
" I nm afraid, Willie ; there is danger. Lit¬ tle girls, too, are so timid, they are apt to be roughly treated if they play with boys."
"But I can take care of Lizzie. Besides, Dr. Parker is there, and Sisy ; and the doctor says met, it is fine exorcise for ladles ; he wishes they would aU practise it."
This last hit was successful.   Lizzie was clad io her furs, and permitted to go; and, with the doctor as leader, the children had fine fun.   On their way homo, Lizzie and Willie weni into tfae doctor's office wilh him to rest a few minutes, and have a liitle chat. " Arid, now Dr. Carter is gone," said Lizzie, you will have all the practice in town; for no¬ body will think of employing litile Dr. Slurges, who has hung fais name upon Dr. Carter's door.'* " But I hope somebody ibi7Z think of employ¬ ing bim, Lizzie," saidDr, Parker.   " He is a young man, and needs practice.   I should bc sorry to deprive him of hia'share." The children looked surprised. "WeU, I heard moiher soy ihat she hoped people would find out that there was some medi¬ col knowledge and skill in town besides what was laid up in Curler's heod."
Dr. Parker'a pulse beat foster for a moment, andTiis eye brightened,
''I used to think," said Lizzie, "that Dr. Corter wsa so learned he would never die ; and I wished I knew fais wonderful secrets, so I could live always."
*' My poor child, you knew not what you ask¬ ed. To be denied thc blessed boon of death !— the dreamless sleep, the undiaturbed repose for the body, and the endless felicity ofthe apirit ! Earth is so bright to you now that you have not turned your eor 10 hear.
" The music ringing Tbo lulling aouniK of heaven's repose. But in fulure life there will be Iiours when you moy feel it 0 blessed thing to die." And the doctor gazed onihe beautiful young creature, as ifhe trembled to trust her in a heartless world. Unconsciously, he had imparted sadness to the children, which observing, he said, "Did you ever here the story of the 'Wandering Jew?' " "No," lhey said; "do tell us now," But, as it was time the children were at home, he promised it the next time they called.
One year mo-e possed on. The Christmas holidoys were at hand, and the merry hearted school girls were full of deiigfaied anticipations and joyous discussions aa to the fruit which the Christmas trees would produce. The recesses were too sfaort for the busy tongues of tbo girls ; but one day the subject waa suddenly changed by the appearance of the mail stage, from the inside of which looked forih tJie old lamiliar, unloved face of Dr. Carter.
"Look! look, Lizzie!" they all exclaimed; " he's come to the wedding!"
" I am glad of it," said Lizzie ; " for I like Dr, Carter better than I did a year ago."
Merrily passed the Christmas holidays to Willie ond Lizzie, who thought the wedding ceremony the only serious affair of the week.— It mode them feel so solemn," ibey said ; but when it was fairly over, and oil the friends had congralulated the beautii'ul bride—our friend Mrs. Lee—and her no ble-look ing husband, the now popular Dr. Parker, the children stole to hia side, and Willie whispered—
" Don't you want to live a greot mony years now. Uncle Doctor?*'
"Yes, yes, my boy, to see you as happy a doctor as myself."
"How sorry I am forthe " Wandering Jew?" soid Lizzie, as she pointed to the tall, lunk, muscular form of Dr. Carter, who was stalking through the back parlor, as if seeking that whicfa he could not find.
Tbat evening he ascertained the safety of Mrs. Lee's funds; ond, though he wos not a profane raan, he was heard to say, " What con¬ founded cheats women are I"
