But the Doctor—ah, there never was just another such a man. What a memory he had. We believe he remembers every student of the many thousands who ever came under his in struction, and shonld he meet them would re call to mind some incident in the school life of each. Some ridiculous incident, too, for hats a famous fellow for fuu, is the Doctor. One day as a student sat in the chemistry class wondering how he ever should stagger through a neglected lesson, a fellow student came out of the laboratory and told him the Doctor wanted him. With faltering step and trembling form the young villain reluctantly entered the mysterlons room sacred to horri ble smells. The Doctor was stirring some dreadful compound in a little leaden dish. We wonder if he remembers the trembling little rascal who halted at his elbow with such a fearfully anxious look upon his boyish face. After a long and awful pause, during which time the youthful rascal had in vain scanned the kindly but impenetrate countenance be fore him, the Doctor said “You want to be a good boy, now don't you?” Ah, if he had kicked the young villain—if he had run him through the retort—if he had knocked him down and sat on him while he Eoured the compound he was mixing down is youthful throat, he could have stood it. But that sweet and gentle tone There was a lump as big as a barrel in the little villain's throat, but ha worried it down far enough to faintly stammer, “Yes—yes. sir.” Silently the stirring went on. The trembling little culprit stood there iu an agony of doubt and fear, the beating of his heart rivalling in loudness the ticking of the great clock on the wall. It seemed as if time had ceased and eternity begun ere the gentle voice again re marked: '•Well, I guess you leil! be good.” That was all. The little villaiu went out from that kindly pretence and left It still stir ring the chemicals, with his love for the doctor b eigbtened and deepened bevond expression. ana with a tirin determination to indulge no more in certain pranks indigenous to the col lege boy of to-day. We were that little villain. We wonder if the Doctor (God bless bis kindly Christian heart!) remembers him? Magazine Notices.

His pictures are now on exhibition at Williams Everett’s, Boston, and several sales have already been made. At Loriug, Short Harmon’s is an illustrat ed work on Morocco—translated by J. Rollins Tilton. The Tribune says: “Mr. J. R. Tilton, who has so long been con spicuous in the small circle of noted American artists in Rome, gives the private view of his pictures at the American Art Gallery, on Mad ison Square. It was of Mr. Tilton's landscapes that Anthony Trollope wrote: “They have that highest quality of art, the poetry of art. A Rug and loving observation of nature in many climes and in all her moods has enabled this artist to do by nature as an experienced portrait painter does by his sitters—to select each subject at its best, at the most favorable moment of the day and the year, and under the most favorable circumstances of light and atmosphere.’ Y.

Enthusiastic Meeting Last Evening. The Irish Land League of this city held another large and enthusiastic mooting at the hall of the I. A. It. A. last evening. The hall was crowded and nineteen more gentlemen be came members. The treasurer was instructed to send $100 of tho funds of the League to J. Boyle O’Reilly, of Boston, for the benefit of the Irish Nation al Land League. Darius Ingraham, Esq., made a handsome donation to the funds. Elliot King, Esq., addressed the League. Mr. King commenced by paying a glowing tribute to the genius, courage, perseverance and industry of tho Irish race. The same courage, the same sublime zeal which for seven couturies preserved its nationality will eman cipate the Irish people from the thraldom which, under the leadership of Parnell, they propose to shake oft. Ireland asks peasant proprietorship and Home Rule. He could see no just reason why these privileges should not be accorded to the Irish nation, and combatted the assertion of Lord Beaconsfield that Home Rule would lead to the dissolution of the Brit ish empire. The landlords of I reland ob tained the land from their ancestors who gained possession of it by confiscation. He predicted the success of the Land League. No element that has entered into the composition of the mixed nationality o£ the Urytod States has contributed so much to its greatness and glory as the Irish race. Nothing but an independent nation would satisfy the aspirations of the Irish patriot. Mr. King advised a peaceful, constitutional agitation. Tho sympathy of the American people fef the Irish people in their present struggle would be a potent lever to lift Ireland to the high plane of freedom. Stirring addresses were made by James Cun ningham, John M. Todd and William Mc Aleney. The League is prospering finely, and extends a cordial invitation to overy citizen to attend the meetings and become members.

We don’t believe that "no how.” (Detroit Port.) Provided with Pockets. "Maria," said Mr. Jones, the other evening, "what earthly use does any woman have for a muff?” “I’m sure I don’t know,” answered Mrs. J. meekly; then she added sweetly: “I know a good many who have one.” "Eh!” retorted Jbnes; “Oh, yes! Well, as they only admit the tips of the fingers, and any woman carrying one resembles a trussed fowl, I cannot see why they are not abolished. They are Just one of the silly fashions of the sex. Then look at your hats this season; a little wo man topped off with a big felt, and rigged out with two or three great long oetrich feathers, looking, as Dickens wonld say, like the after noon shadow of somebody else. It’s monstrous, ridiculous!” 'Yes,” replied Mrs. Jones, “it is rather ab surd, now that you call attention to it. Bat, you know, I wear a bonnet. There was some thing I wanted to ask you. Oh, I remember now: how many pockets have you in that su: t you have on?” "Pockets,” growled Jones: “I’m sure I nev er oounted them. What do you want to know for? Half a dozen, maybe.” “You have fifteen,” retorted Mrs. Jones, tri umphantly, "Yes, sir! I have counted them.” "Poob! nonsense! Fifteen pockets! You must think I’m an idiot. How could I use half that number?” "Count them,” said Mrs. Jones. yon state things. Well, there are—let me see —one, two, three, four. How’s that? Two or dinary, two pistol, and one watch-pocket in my trousers; my vest has two, of course, and an inside one for hills, and a watch-pocket, certainly; all vests have, and one for tickets; and my coat has two, as all coats have, and a breast-pocket on each side, and one for cards.

Twenty pockets for one maul Well, I wouldn’t say auother word about muffs, or hats, or any other fashion for a woman’s dress, it I were you!” Jones says he never feU so utterly discour aged In his life, andto think he never knew how many pockets he had till his wife told him! _ City and Country Faces. The difference between “city" and their oouutry oousins is mere marked than most peo ple believe. The first impression whioh a man has on finding himself for the first time in a great city is of vague excitement, accompanied by a sense of danger. The multiplicity of ob jects appear fantastic to an eye accustomed to rural scenery; the uniniermittent noises, the entangled yet purposeless movements, and, above all, the shifting panorama of unfamiliar human faoes, combine to throw the visitor into a state of mind totally strange to him. A nd amid so much tumultuous life he sees death everywhere on the lookout for a victim. But if the visitor to these strange regions looks at the faces of those he meets in search of some reflection of his own perturbation, he looks in vain. The countenance of tho city man, as he threads his way along the street, is curiously impassive. At a first glance it appears also to be unobservant; but this it is not. For although he seems to look at nothing, it soon becomes evident that he sees everything. He mechani cally informs himself, out of the corner of his eye, of everything that might tend to obstruct or threaten him; and though he passes through a thousand people without encountering the gaze or treading on the toes of any one of them, Be will recognize an acquaintance or calculate to an inch tBe rate of speed at which ho must make the crossing in order te escape the omni bus from one direction and the truck from the other. Doubtless custom and momory will ac count for a largo part of it; yet tho impassive face would probably appear far loss impassive than it does had not the contrac ion of tbo facial muscles brought about by the constant assaults of innumerable impressions and the Impossibility of responding to them all, be come in a manner fixed. The houses and the Savementg, the vehicles and the hubbub, pro uoe an effect npon these muscles jnst the re verse of that exercised by the hills and dales of the country; they press them instead of draw ing them ont—in other words, the mind resists them instead of sympathizing with them. Wit and Wisdom. After an enthusiastic lover spends two hours bard labor over a letter to his girl, and then mars its beant; by spilling a drop of ink on it, be first swears in a scientific manner for a few minutes, and then draws a circle round the blot and tells her it is a kiss, and she, poor thing, believes it. Mias Sawyer's Salve for 23 cento is the best. The world is like a skating park, nice when you can glide Bmoothly over its surface, but cruel and cold to sit down on when you get your feet knocked from under you.—White hall Times. "Now, Rutherford,” exclaimed Mrs. Hayes sharply, "I should think you'd know better than to bring Mr. Schnrz and Mr. Evarto right into the room with the snow on their feet. Here I've been slaving and slaving for tbe past fortnight to get things put to rights, and it does seem as if some men didn't have any feeling at all. Do you suppose I want that Garfield woman to find everything daubed up when she comes poking around to see what she can find fault with? Not much, I don't,” and the good woman ran the dust-rag over the top of the door, and shook it spiteful ly out of the window, while Mr Hayes rubbed his head, smiled feebly, and went out to see what Congress had been doing since morning. —Rockland Courier.

Surgical Operation.—The operation of litho tomy (removal of stone from the bladder), one of the most severe and critical operations known to the science of surgery, was successfully performed on Tuesday upon Mr. Ilenry H. Pitts, a merchant of this city, by Dr. David Kennedy. Several friends of the patient witnessed the operation. Mr. Fitts has suffered several years from this difficulty, but it was only a week before the operation that be was made aware of tbe real cause of his complaint. Recovery.—Mr. Henry H. Pitts has recovered from the effects incident to the operation, the clos ing of the wound being completed on the 18th day. His general health is good—better than it has been or years, while he is perfectly free from all»hose dis tressing symptons so characteristic of the disease with which he suffered. Had this and similar cases used Dr. Kennedy’s ‘‘Favorite Remedy” in the early stages of the complaint th6 formation of stone would have been prevented. “Favorite Remedy” also puri fies the blood, cures Constipation of the Bowels, and all those diseases and weaknesses peculiar to Fe males.
