DR. DORA'S MISTAKE. Miss Wllmar'f doctor ws dead. Now, ws si know it is very hsrd on any ons to lose a phy ileian on whom one is dependent, aud to whom one ti greatly attaches. Te Minn Wilmsr il wo particularly so. Mias Wilmar, I must tell you, wm a maiden lady of some forty-five yean, very rich, very whimsical (as rich people often consider that tlicy have a right to be), and nervous and fumy withal, fancying herself ailing a hundred times of tenor than there was any need, and convinced that sho could not live a week without the phy sician t examine her pnlxo and look at her tongue. Therefore yon can seo at once that the good lady was In a must uncomfortable state of mind. What sho was to do, she had not tho slightest idea. The powtibility of any one elso taking the place of Dr. Pomiet was ridirulaus In itself. Hhowas perfectly satinficd that thore was no physicisn equal to him an) where. Bhe sighed dicply, and Jolt that now she was to he pitied indeed. She should never enjoy anything like health s'ain. And you can see, too, thut if Miss Wilmsr mIiouM got over this conviction and allow her self to bo ersuadcd thut there existed in the world another phyniciau worth trusting, it would be a very good thing for him; since, do- iicndent on frequent medical advice as sho fail' cicd herself ill, her doctor's bill must necessa rily bo be lurge. ,'Iw Mends said, "Now, what will poor dear Miss Wilmar do?" And more than ono physician In the town thought within himself what a particularly profitable, thing it would be for him if he could gut Miss Wilmar for a patient with her very many ailments, and her very prompt reinunsr ation for Services rendered. Mrs. Leonard, an old friend of Miss Wilmar, called on that day to condole with her and to offer advice. "What a great pity, Miss Wilmar, that yon havo lost your physician. It must come very hard to youl" Yes, Miss Wilmsr said, it did como very hard to her. Hho didn't in the least know what to do. Hho would bo very glad if anybody could advise her in tho matter! Hho certainly couldn't live without a physician a physician she must have. But what physician? There was the dif ficulty. 'Why don't you try Dr. GrayV" "Too slow! I never should get well under his care in the world. He'd make mo so nor vous with hi execssivo moderation!'1 "Dr. Murkhum, thou?" "lie's jiiht the opposite Come blustering in like a whirlwind, aud won't hear what you have to siiv, hardlv. Gives a patient no time what ever to deaerilm symptoms. I want somebody with some feeling!" Dr. Hale?" I hate homicopatliy. I thought you knew it." "So I did, but I thought I'd mention him. Well, Dr. Carlton, if they won't do?" "Wouldn't havu him to prescribe for my cat!" Mrs. Laniard laughed. Blip, didn't see what Miss Wilmar could do. Half a dozen good physicians were within a stone's throw, almost, as ono might say, and yet she would havo none of tliom. "What do you think of Dr. Doru? or haven't ou thought about him at all? He tlidu t occur to mv mind before, bointr Miiiienliat m m lu re But I haw heard him spoken well of," "To tell you the truth. I wus thinking of him just before you mentioned his name, I won't have am- of tho others. And I should run sme risk, any way. At allevents I believe I'll think about having him," To a good many pcoplo in this world, it is a relief to havo made no ouo'a mind, even with tho prospect of running a risk. And when Miss Wilmiir's mind was made np, as it was shortly, sho felt very much bettor quite cheerful, indeed and keeping Dr. Dorn iu her mind almost constantly, ulio got very soot, to feeling as it she were quito well acquainted with him; so that tho good lady actually hewed very civilly to him the next timo sho met him in the street. Now, this. Was quite elevating to Dr. Dorn's feelings; (or he knew, ss well as anv other phy stctan In tho place, that Miss Wilmar was on the lookout for a new medical adviser; and from the peculiar earnestness with which she regarded him, ho could not help but Hatter himself that sho had bcou turning over his caso in her mind; which, as wo know, was very true, lndwd. Ar Mrs. Leonard had remarked, ho had not been settled in the town a great while; aud he was not very widely acquainted. But his man ners were plausible, ho had already been hand-in-glovo with ono or two rich families; and wo must hero mention that this was very gratify ing to tho doctor; for ho liked exceedingly the society of tho rich aud great; and poor patients be did not by any means desire So that thus far his prospect! were very pleasant ones in deed. He thought to himself that ho Bliould very soon Is' a rising man in tho place thought much of and looked up to. And when the rich Miss Wilmar boned so graciously to him, he quite congratulated himself, as, of course, everybody thought lie ho had good reason to do. Aud it soon appeared a fact. For, not threo days after this, .Miss Wslmar, being attacked severely with neuralgia, sent for him at once. Ho happened to be at homo and went imraedi ately to seo her. Tho meeting was a very pleasant one; for .Miss wilmar, an wo have saul, having set her mind on employing him, and thereby becom ing used to tho idea which went a great way with hor and having, moreover, heard favora blo accounts of him from some of tho families where ho visited, was quite prepossessed with him already. And when she had halt an hour's conversa tion with him she liked him still more. II entered into her feelings so completely, sho said -was so full of sympathy seemed SO clearly to understand her ease. In fact, thonch different, of course, from Dr. lVimet, yet ho was more tilted to take las place in her estima. nun, loan any puysician sue nao evir known. Ho presci ilH-d for her tho prescription wus MUvcKxful. She had never e)M ieni-ed more leouliil relief even under Dr. Dennet s care, For oihi ailment and another, she was oblnnid to send for him agaiu and again; and eeryoc csslon gavo her new faith in the doctor and his treatment. .So that Dr. Doru became estab lished as Miss Wilmar's physician; and she congratulated herself very much upon tho fact - and so did he. In fact, Dr. Dorn said to himself that he had made a coiiMdemldo tep in tho world. He livti preferred before every old established practitioner in the town. Miss Wilmar was rich prompt in lir twyniriits needing fro- ipioni tiivieu wtiat a good thing for hiin for lus reputation ror his purse! A very fortu nato man was the doctor. lis was sitting quite at leisure, in bis office one evening, with hi foot ou the fender, and dreaming golden dream of tho future. Mis wi.mar luel promi-ed to introduce him to s wealthy family whore Dr. Donnet had been em ployed, and in which he, in tnru. a likefv gain favor. Ho was congratulating himsolf anew and building casth-s in the air, which sefiuoii altogether too beautiful too t real Kiit-u um urn rang and uissipaud Hum most i tiicmaiiy lor tlie moment. t J..t ..a .. , ; iiiur fcuii'iicii cr iwtuve rears came in with timid and hesitating stcp'-a. little girl with a cheap, wingham drtws, and a coarse straw nat tint had tecu service. "What do yen want?" aked the ibctor grumy The child looked up. half frith tened. Old Mr. tlrav waa r.ct; would Dr. Dorn ciime and e him? "Who is Mr. liiay, and where does he live?" a.krl the doctor, indifferently. Our neighbor, sir," said the child; "h live at No. JO. "Well, wll! I don't know where you lire.

Tho doctor went, unwillingly enough; reached, in the darkness, tho old-fashioned brown houso that picturod itself to his memory; found old Mr. Gray aunerlng a goou ueai, a .irxnmtftiinca which, however, failed to awaken Dr. Dorn's sympathy, but rather made him tho crosser instead, no, tnat no waa unnecwBan ly abort and irroff, and seemed likely to fright- - .. .i.i :.... l... cu sua worry mo poor oiu ausu wiu ,u to help him.

It is, perhaps, needless to say that the doctor bad at onco taken note of the surroundings. Thoy wore plain, old-fushioned, like the house lumlioring, well-worn furniture; patched cur tains; a homo-spun curpct, patched, too. IIo made bis visit abort as possible. "You'll como again to-morrow or noxt day?" asked Mn. Gray, following him to the door, and sjieaking as if sho were asking a great favor, which she had no right to ask. The doctor half promised, roughly and un- civily, as usual, and bunged the disir liohind him," without having tho grace to say "Good night." Ho did not go again fur throo days then only dropied in as ho was going by. Old Mr. Gruy was very littlo letter, and complained, in his gentle, feeble way, and mado the doctor crosser than over. Poor old Mrs. Gray actually felt as if they bad asked too great a favor of the doctor in re questing kin attendance. She mentioned to him that she has beard of him being so excellent a bysiciun her meco Hetty had recommended im would bo wait a mone ut and soe her? Hetty had only Just stepiied into tho other room, and wonld bo very glad to see him. "Can t stop, ma am, answered the doctor, in tones quito contrasting with tho smooth and cheerful ones accustomed to greet the ear of his rich patient, Miss Wilmar. "And I think, ma'am, your husband's getting along will do vory woll. Lot liim continue tho application as directed. There' no need of my coming again." Not coming againl and poor old Mr. Gray hardly relieved in the least! Mrs. Grav looked just a little rising pride from her gentle eyes, but said nothing, produced a pockot-book con taining a great dual more monoy than tho doc tor would havo believed could have been found in tlie house, aud paid, without a moment'; question, the fee lie demanded. It was an ex orbitant fee, too, considering what Dr. Dorn believed to be tho circumstances of his patient. To tell the truth, ho was surprised at being paid so promptly and liberally. Ho looked a littlo puzzled lingered a little bnt not a word said Mrs, Gray or her husband, only waited tor him to go, which he did very slowly, bidding them a tolerably civil good morning. "Woll, uuut! ejaculutod Miss Wilmar, step ping out from an adjoining room, as the doc tor left tho house. "This is what you get by living so that upstarts liko that think you'ro no better than paupers! To bo sure, it's none of his business, or thut of anybody else, if you choose to live to suit yourself. And ho may reckon ou having had the last of your monoy, or mino either. Not a step does ho set in my houso again! I'll have another physician to morrow." And so sho did. And Dr. Dorn. sstonished and mortified, never knew the reason till ono line day ho discovered that Miss Wilmar hersolf was the "nicco Hetty" of whom Mrs. Gray had made mention.-TaJie Atixon. HOW LITTLE JAKE Jim. FOUND It was Saturday morning, clear and cold The bells wero ringing, aud people were going into tho churches iu tho nppcr part of tho city, tho same as on Sunday. A ragged, pale-faced boy loitored around the door of one of thorn, and finally plucked up courago to slido into the porch, aud gradually to edge into the door and slip unobserved into a back seat. Ho was a littlo fellow, with auburn hair and light blue eyes, and if ho had been wuslicd and combed and well clad, would havo leen a pretty boy; but he bore the marks of ill-usugo, and Sad tho forlorn sir of that most pitiablo objoct, a neg lected child. He'looked cautiously about him, and wlion the organ began to sound seemed utterly con founded Aud uo wonder, for Little Juke had never been inside a church boforo in all his miserable life. Ho was nobody's child, and lived down by the river with an old mau who starved him to make him beg and beat him to make him steal. This 'morning ho had been driven forth without breakfast, and forbidden, with curses, to return until bo got some money. Ho was feverish and ill, and shivered iu the piercing air, and with a dull indifference had taken his way aimlessly from the filthy and poverty stricken quarter where bo lived towards the broad avenues and beautiful homes of the prosperous world, and iu tho samo dull way had drifted into the church. Wreaths of evergreen and scarlet holly and exquisite flowers mado the place beautiful! Tho organ pealed, tho singers Bang joyous strains; for it was Christmas morning, the gladdest time of tho year to the happy, but nothing to littlo Jake, who had never heard of it, but a bitter cold day when he had no breakfast. By and by the minister roso and began to talk. His voice was soft and pleassnt, and iu a simple way be told tho story of the tlrst Christ mas. Littlo Jaka wns all ears. Ho enlarged on tlie fact that the Christ to whom a wonder ful star guided the wise men was the richest and most generous of beings; that'one bad but to ask to receive (rem him the choicest treas ures. So simple and gracious was his langnago, so hearty was hi assurance of welcome, that hope sprang up in tho heart of tbechild and he felt if he could only get to ChriBt be would havo plenty to eat aud some money given him so that be should not bo bcateii when he returned home. The service w as soon over, tho people begn to go out of the church and little Jake went with them. He hung around the door until every one was none, hoping to see tho soft yoieiil iniuistcr. bnt he went out by tho vestry door on the other side of the church. Little Juke meant to ask him where Christ lived. After shivering around a long time bo was forced to give him up and nuke up his mind to a-k some one else. lie was s timid child and met with so many nbnnN when bo went out to beg that ho shrink from approaching people on any er rand, and he parsed a great many people as ho wandered up aud down the streets baforo bo could summon courage to make liis inquiry. Finally, honever, a pair of young girl friends came along, arm in arm, walking slowly aud deeply ahsorlied in contidential conversation. Little Jake approached thm. Do you know Christ?" he anked timidly. They gave biui no answer, but with a startled air hatened their steps, turning once or twice to look at the child. He sighed and wandered on. It was very cold and nearly evcrvons walked briskly, and Little Jake was too timid to arrest their step. An old man leaning on a can seemed a likely Demon to listen to and answer hu questions, and tb child plucked sp courage to ask him it he knew where Christ lived. "8p.sk londor, little follcr,'te said, potting his hand on bis ear. .-.mir Little Jake repeated the qnestion. accenting the name. An expression of robnke appeared on the aged face. ., . . . "You're a bad little boy, I'm afeared, hs aid. "Don't you know it's wicked to swear? And on Christmas Day, too," and be shook his head and went sorrowfully away. ' The short winter afternoon was wearing to a close before he made another attempt. He turned the matter over hi his mind and con cluded to vary hi form of address. A stout German woman's honest face emboldoucd him to accost her. ' "I'lease, ma'sm, be you acquainted with Mr. Christ?" said a plaintive voice at her side. She paused st once. "Christ, Christ," she said with an effort to remember. "Would be be Gorman?" Little Jake didn't know. What wonld yon of him, mein kind? "He's sgoin' to give me some money," said poor Littlo Jake. "I not know him, but I give you one penny, and she gave it and hasted on. A finidv drained lailv dronrjed her handker chief; be"pickod it np and ran after her. Duck ing her cloak to arrest her attention be bold out the handkerchief. "It's yours, ma'sm," he said simply. Sho felt in her muff. Why, so it is. I'm much obliged, little boy." -I'lease," began Littlo Juke, timidly, "coum you " "Ut course l u give you lonieiiung u i nan my portmonnaie," she said impatiently, "but I haven't and you'll have to take the will for the deed," and she hurried away. Tears cvmc to Little Jsko's blue eyes. "I didn't wsnt nothing only to auk where he lived," he thought. Night was fulling, aud be had neither begged nor found Christ, and the dread of returning to bis wretched home empty handed emboldened him to make another appeal, IIo put the qnestion to two prosperous looking men. snd the pleading voice and little wan face ought not to have annealed in vain, whatever the question might be. "Get out, you little vagabond," said one, and the othor, "What are she police for I'd liko to know," and their angry voices wero soon lost in the distanco. It was night, and the stars were out in the frosty heaven. Littlo Jake looked tip tho long street, and above where it seemed to como to a point in theskyshono thcniild lumpof tho even ing star. His head throbbed with pain, his weary limbs ached, his feet and hands were be numbed with cold, but the star filled bis sonl with fresh courage. "It's his star," wus his glad thought. "The mun said it stopped over tho place where he is, I'll go there," and ho started off np tho street. Block after block was wearily passed, and still the star was fur, far off. Door, patient Littlo Juko was very weary, wandering all duy without food, and the porch of a church bo was passing looked like a refuge from the wind, where ho might rest a moment. -He climbed tho stops and sank down a little huddled heap in tho corner. Couldn't find him to night," he muttered. 'In the mornin' " and Little Juke was aslocp. Presently it began to snow and snowed all night, and the wind drifted it into tho porch and covered Littlo Juko with a soft white covcr- et. Tho city clocks struck all the hours of the night and it was Sunday morning. The sexton cumo to shovel away tho snow before meeting time, and cleared the walk and mounted the steps to tho porch. Finding a heup of some thing there ho stooied over, brushed the snow lightly off and disclosed the small pale face of Littlo Jako. "What havo you hero, Jurvis?" ssid the soft vjoiecd minister coming up the step. Jarvls raised himself up and answered gravely: "A dead child, sir." Luc; L. Stout in thr Detroit AVics. Mrlrcllna a Wife. Who marries for loves takes a wife; who mar ries for fortune takes a mistress; who marries for position takes a lady. You nro loved by your wife, regarded by your mistress, tolerated by your lady. You have a wife for yourself, a mistress for your houso and friends, a lady for tho world and society. Your wifo will agree with you, your mistress will rulo yon, your lady will manage yon. Your wifo will tuko care of your household, your mistress of your houso, your lady of appearances. If you aro Bick your wifo will uurso you, your mistress will visit you, your lady will inquire after your health. Yon tuko a walk with your wife, a ride with your mistress, and go to a rarty with your lady. Your wifo will tdiaro your grief, your mistress your money, your lady your debts. If you are dead your wife will weep, your mistress will lament, and your lady wear mourning. Which will you huvo?
