" I Ltul boon considering for about a
Year whether I should inarrv "Winfrctl
ilanwaj, when I heard that she was on
gaged to the Philosopher. Why did she
accept him ? It is true that he is both
imaginative and critical, but faculties
exercised m the formation of psychol
ogical hyiothesis and the laborous de
struction of those of one's neighbor do
not usually rouse the sympathy of a
bright and beautiful girl, who is more
fit to livo than to think about life. He is
certainly handsomo, but as certainly his
clothes aro barbarous. His trousers can
not ke?p their shapo for a day, and his
his hats are never now. If ho notices
the rain he opens an umbrella which
might have served as an ineffectual pro
tection at the time of the Deluge ; if he
finds out that it is cold, he assumes a
garment which might have boon the
everyday coat of Methuselah. His man
ners are as strange as his appearance.
Ho may often be seen walking in the
park at the fashioanble hour with a far
off look in his eyes, and his hat thrust
back as if to lessen the external pressure
on his active brain; more rarely yon
may hear him bursting into enthusiasm
in Picadilly, to the last place in which a
man should allow himselt to be enthusi
astic. In short, though he is a true
friend, he is an uncomfortable acquain
tance; and his volcanic utterances, after
long periods of calm contemplations,
cause sucu shocks to ones nerves as
would be conveyed to the Sunday citizen
by the eruption of Primrose hill. Kut
if it was odd that the beautiful Winifred
Hanway should marry my friend, it -was
yet more odd that he should marry any
one. There wore no topics more certain
to excite an explosion in the philosopher
than the excessive imputation of the
coontrv, and the wholesome solitude of
the Thinker. "How," he would fiercely
ask, "'can a man think effectually on fun
damental subjects, who is compelled by
the despicable circumstances of his life
to exhaust his analytical facalty in con
sidering how to pay his butcher and
when to buy his coals? I tell yon, sir,
it's better to starve with cold and hanger
than to debase one's noblest port to a
came of skill with a KrasiiinK grocer.
Again and again I had heard him de
claim in this preposterous fashion; and
after all, he was going to the altar like
any other victim, and would doubtless
take a horse upon his back with the do
cility of a snail.
I could not solve the problem; I would
not give it up. So, full of the determi
nation to drag Diogenes, I stepped round
the comer to offer my coagratalations.
My friend was in his" stady apparently
writing, really eating a quill ia. He
rose at me with a nifiit, wrung my hand
till it ached, and blushed rather nnoom
fortably. Congratulations are the corse
of the Briton. Whether he is offering
them or receiving them, ho is geaerally
obliged to take refuge in intermittent
handshaking, and most of his sentences
tail off into grunts and groans. Bat on
this occasion it was evident that the
philosopher had something ready to say,
and was nervously anxious to sav it. In--ded
I had hardly said more than "My
dear fellow, I don't know when I
really am so awfully glad, I V it's
in every way so, such a satisfactory, you
know I really do wish all " possi
ble, and all that sort of thing, yon
know" when ho burst in with
a speech so fluently delivered that
I knew I was not his earliest visitor
that morning. Of course it's taken
you by surprise," he said, "as I knew it
would; but the truth is that I have been
thinking of it for a long time,-and I am
sure I am right." Here I tried to get in
an expression of wonder at his new no
tion of duty, but he was bent on getting
rid of the matter, and harried on to
his reasons. "In the first place." said
be, "I am sure that instead of increasing
my domestic worries, ray marriage will
transfer them in a body to my wife; and,
secondly, when I consider the vast num
ber of fools who are every day born into
the world, I as, terrified by the pieture
of what the next generation will be, if
the thinkers of this are to be without
successors." Having discharged his
reasons in this wise, tho orator stood
blinking at me as it he feared dissent,
but I was too astounded by his mag
nificent audacity to reply. Slowly a look
of peace stole back into his eyes, and the
promise of a smile played at the cv.ruer
of his mouth. His remarkable flccm-y
was gone, and indeed his voice sout-d.xl
quite choky whon he said, "JohuBy,
you don't know what an angel she ia." "
A light broke in upon me.
"Philosopher," I said, "I believe yon
are going to be married because von "foil
in love?"
"Perhaps yon arc right," said the
philosopher.
After the wedding, the philosopher
and his wife went abroad for an indefi
nite period, and their friends heard but
little of them. He wrote to nobody, and
sho did not write to mo. Yet there were
occasional rumors. Now they were
breathing the keen air of the Engadine,
now sinking to the vines and chestnuts
of Chiavenna ; now he was lashing him
self to frenzy over the treasures of Home;
now he was gazing with sweet northern
eyes across the glowing splendor of the
Bay of Xaples. Then they were in Ger
many, and about to settle for life in a
university town; but anon liad fled from
it in haste after a long night's dispute, in
the course of which my learned friend
had well-nigh come to" blows with the
university's most celebrated professor.
At last I heard that they were again in
London, and full of enthusiasm, darted
around tho corner to welcome them
home. Xobody was with them but Mrs.
Hanway, Winifred's mother. I would
enter unannounced and surprise the
philosopher. I entered unannounced
and was surprised myself. Was this the
effect of matrimony or of foreign travel?
Each occupant of the room was engaged
in an exercise wholly unconnected, so it
seemed, with those of the rest. My
friend's wife, the lady whom I had al
most loved, queen of all grace and
leauty, was apiearing and disappearing
like a flash of light behind the day's
Jhiic, showing at the moments of dis
closure a face Hushed with excitement;
the lustrous coils of hair tumbled into
the wildest disorder, while she accom
panied lho whole performance with
strange and inarticulate sounds. Hor
mother, the same Mrs. Hanway, who was
so perfect a model of her dress and car
riage that many of her lady friends were
wont to lament among themselves that
she gave herself such airs, was seated on
the floor dressed for walking but without
her bonnet. Yes, she was certainly
dramming on an inverted tea-tray with
the wrong end of tho joker. And the
philosopher? It was perplexing, after
three year's separation, to meet him thus.
The philosopher was canteripg around
tho room on all fonrs, wearing on his
head his ownwasto-pajKjr basket. Brisk
y he cantered around, ever and anon
frisking liken lamb in spring time, unlil
he reached my feet, which wero rooted
to tho spot with astonishment. Ho
glanced up at me sideways, roc
with n cry to tho normal attitude of man,
and grasped mo by tho hand. At tho
sound of his voice, his wife dropped tho
pajer from hor hands, rained them
quickly to hor hair; and his mother-in-law,
with as much dignity as the effort
would allow, scrambled on to hor foot.
Then in an instant tho cause of thoir
eccentric conduct was made clear.
Throned upon tho hearth rug, and show
ing by a gracious smile a few of tho new
est teeth, sat a fine baby of some fifteen
months. In ono dimpled fist was
tightly clenehed tho brush, which had
so neatly arranged tho mother's braids;
while tlie other was engaged in jumnd
ing the graudmothor's best bonnet into a
shapeless mas.
We wero all somewhat embarrassed ox
cop t tho baby. The ladies know that
they wero untidy, and I that I was an
intrndor. As for tho learned father, ho
stood now on one leg and now on the
otlior, whilo ho shifted the waste-jwpor
basket from hand to hand, and continued
to smile almost as porseveringly as his
amiable offspring. Yet it was ho who
at last put an end to our awkward iosi
tion by expressing a wild desire to have
my opinion of the new curtains in his
study. Rather sheepishly I said good
bye to tho lady of tho house, trying to
express by my eyes that I would never
call again unannounced. I knew that
Mrs. Hanway had not forgiven me, as I
humbly took tho two fingers which she
offered; and felt like a brute, as the
most imortant member of tho family
condescended to leave a damp spot by
edge of my left whisker.
When, however. I had been swept
down stairs by my impulsive friends, and
was alone with him in his den, my cour
age returned, and, with it some indigna
tion. I confronted him, and sternly
asked why I had not been told that he
was a father.
"Not been told?" echoed he; "do you
mean to sav that von did not know about
the baby?"
"Xot'so much as that it was," I re
plied gloomily.
He was overwhelmed; of coarse he had
supposed that every one knew it, from
the Queen downward. Of course fifty
people ought to have told me, who, of
course, had told me everything else. At
last lay curiosity got the lxstter of ray
indignation, and I cut short his apologies
by beginning my questions
"Dees the sblipo of its head content
you 5" I asked.
"Tho shape of whoe what?" cried tho
philosopher, apparently too Karprisod
for grammar.
"Of the baby's head, of coarse, I re
plied tartly; "I merely wished to know
if the child is likely to be as intellectual
as you hoped."
"Isn't the hair lovely?" he asked in
conseqaantly. This was too much, and assaming ray
severest manner I delivered myself in
this wise "I thought, though no doubt
I was wroag, that the use of a baby to
yoa would be partly to furnish you with
raw material for a philosopher, portly to
oa&ble you by constant obserration to
gain further evidence bearing on such
vexed questions as, whether the infant
gains its ideas of Ftiaco by feeling about,
whether it is conscious of itself, etc."
"Well," he said, laughing, "I don't
expect much help from my infant in
those nutters, unless I can get iaside her
and think her thoughts."
"Her thoughts? cried I, in amaze
ment; "you don't mean to say it's a girl?
Good gracious! you are not going to
edacate a female "philosopher ?
He looked rather vexed. "Or course
it's a girl," he said.
"The father of a female philosopher!"
I gasped.
"Dear me!" said he, somewhat testily;
"Isn't it enough to be a father of a noble
woman?"
Xow I have often put up with a great
deal from my learned friend, and am
quite aware that I have been spoken of
a "Bozzy" behind my back. But there
is a turning point oven for tho worm,
and nobody will sit forever at the feet
which are" constantly kicking him. I
had been snubbed more than enough by
this illogical parent, and assuming my
most sarcastic manner, I inquired, with
an appearance of deference "Is it not
rather early to speak of vour daughter as
a noble woman ?"
"Not at all," said the philosopher.
I hod kept aloof from the pkilojopbor
for some weeks, nursing my wrath, like
A chill os I said to myself cross as a
boar, I overheard my landlady saying
the passigc when I" received a hasty
note begging me to come to him at once.
I fancied myself summoned to a council
of chiefs; so", having donned my shining
armor, I left my tent with fitting dig
nity, and descended with a clang into
the plain. Yet I could not but be aware
of my landladv's cyo piercing mo
through the crack of the parlor door pur
posely left ajar, and of the hasty flapping
of loose slippers which told of the star
tled tlavey s flight into the abyss below.
An unusual silence held my friend's
house that morning. The door was
opened, before I had time to ring, by a
melaucholy footman, who, walking be
fore me with the elalorate delicacy of an
Agog, noiselessly ushered me into tho
study. It was my lot to be again rooted
to the 6pot with amazement. By the
book-case, in a shaded corner of tho
room, with his head bowed low upon his
hands, knelt the philosopher. Hero was
a long step from tho siege of Troy, from
the simple wrath of a childlike hero to
the most complex embarrassment of an
heir of all the ages. What should I do?
The dismal menial had fled to the shades,
without a word, without even a glance
into the room. If I retreated, I Mt my
friend unaided, and remained ignorant
of the cause of his strange conduct. 1 f I
advanced, I was again the intruder on a
scene not prepared for my inspection. In
an agony of hesitation I fell to brushing
my list with my elbow; but not finding
the expected relief in the occupation, I
was about to desist, when lay hat de
cided wliat my head could not, by fall
ing with a crack on the floor. The effect
was electrical. Without ono glance at
the intruder, lho philosopher made a
grab at the nearest book-shelf, dragged
out a volume which had not been touch
ed for half a century, and hunted for
nothing in its pages with frantic eager
ness. He was still at it, when I stood
over him and noted without wonder that
he held the book upsido down; then with
tho poorest imitation which 1 have ever
seen, ho roso and grasped my hand.
"Yon found mo on tho track of some
thing," he said; "I was looking it out
in in "
Here it occurred to him that ho did
not know tho name of the vcncrablo
tome which ho had so rudely disturbed;
and with a heightened color and a sud
den change of manner he turned quickly
to me and said: "My child is ill." I
felt positively guilty. I had been angry
with that baby for making my wiso
friend foolish, for not being a boy, for
being called "a nohlo woman." Was it
not shameful that a great hulking brute
should sneer at a weak tiling that could
not even answer with a taunt? Were not .
my clumsy sarcasms enough to crush so
delicate a plant? Tho littlo "noble wo
man" was in danger, and I could do
nothing to holj her. Thoro wero tears
in the eyes which wero looking into mino
for comfort; but I had nothing ready to
say.
"I could not stand being alone," ho
muttered, after a short silence; "tho doc
tor is with her now, and in a moment I
may hear that my littlo daughter must
in fact I may hear tho worst."
Whilo he was speaking, I seoniod to
have fifty consoling remarks to offer;
but whon ho stopped, no ono sentonco
would disougairo itself from the rest.
What I blurted out at last scorns almost
ridiculous as I look back on it.
"You must hope for the host," I
said; "you know she has youth on her
sido."
Tho words wero scarcoly out of my
mouth when I heard a measured stop
upon the stairs; presently the door was
opened by tho noisoles footman, and
tho most" famous of London doctors
entered tho room. My friond leaned
heavily on my arm, but looked at tho
man of science with scorning calm.
"I am happy to say," said tho physi
cian cheerily," "that our little friend is
going on as well as possible."
"And she is out of danger?"
"She never was in it."
"Never in danger? ened I, almost dis
appointed. "She has nothing the matter with hor,"
ho replied, "but a slight feverish oold. I
havo seldom seen a finer and more
healthy child. Good morning."
I never was more annoyed. Here was
a waste of ray finest feelings. Here was
I stirred to my depth, woll-nigh moved
to tears by a baby's feverish cold. Of
course I was very plod it was no wonve;
but lay friend was too absurd, and I
would not spare him.
"Won't yon resume yonr studies?" I
asked sarcosticallv. pointing to the dis
turbed book, which was lying on tho
ground at our feet. His humility might
have disarmed me. "I am afraid I've
been a fool," he said; "but if yoa had
seen hor all,, flushed and breathing
hard; and then she is so small and
fragile."
"Yes, for a noble woman," I remarked ;
he received the dart meekly. "Philoso
pher," said I, suddenly, determined to
rouse him at any cost, "whon I entered
this room, you wore engaged in pravtr."
His color certainly deepened. I
ask," I inquired with an appearance of
deference, "whether yoa were addre
isg yourself to the "Personal lirt
Csa, or to the Unknowable bat -haps
yon were merely bowing to the
rational order of the Universe?"
H aode a gesture of impotieBco, Irat
answml still with studied moderatiaB,
"I wo aloae and in trouble."
"And the officaoy of prayer?" I
asked.
. "Per heaven's sake;" cried he, burst
ing mto excitement, "Stop year jargoa!
Xotkieg shows hows sach igaerance of
a sebfect as kaviag all its cant phrases o
the tip of your tongue. Coa't I
speak to God without expecting te be
paid for it?"
This was taming the tables. If he was
going to take to questions, I ksew I
fckouhl end uv adraitttiag myself a fool.
So to avoid a Socratic dialogue I pat ay
hand on ray friend's shoulder aad said:
'Yon ore a good man, i)bikojHier: may
yoa ami the 'noble woman live a then-
sand rears.
"Thank you," he said si a pi v; "and
now you must let me go and ing a
psraa with the nobler woman, my patient
Penelope, my sweet wife."
So he went with long strides ovor the
asphodel meadow, and I betook myself
to ray tent, full of pleasant t boa g Wis,

A Blind Crowd.
The subject of colorblindness came up
at a terry doct saloon the other day. and
on eld ex-captain offered to tost the eves
of M-veral sailors present. He get off
ins stool, laid down his pipo. and be
gan:
"Now, Ihjvs, what's the color of rav
nose?"
Whiter they replied in ohorui. It
was as red as a beet, but they were after
a tlnnK.
"Correct!" said the captain. "This
convince me that your eves are all
right as to the color of white What is
the color of rav hair?"
"Gray." "
"Correct again, except the sandy
spots. YouH all pass on on whito anil
gray. What is the color of that dog out
merer
"Block."
"So it is. And the color of this ohalr
is what?"
"Red."
"And of this?"
"Blue."
"And what what is my general appear
ance? That is, if you saw mo forty rods
oil now would you desenbo mo?
"Asa iwrfcct gentleman," was the
ready reply.
They thought they hod him then. Ho
start! for the liar, but halted and
finally sat down and had no more to say
lor a long ton minutes. Alter thev had
despaired of getting any lecr at his cx-
-xmse, and were about to go out ho and
denlv said:
"Ah! Ikjvs, one more question. If I
should treat this crowd, what wonld be
tlie color of tho liquid?
"It wonld bo tho color of beer," they
hottofnlly shouted.
"Blind a bats worse I never aw!"he
mumbled, as he took his hand from his
pocket." It would bo exactlv tho color of
ice-water!
Sick Headaahe.
This complaint is tho result of eating
too much and exercising too little. Nino
times in ten the cause is in the fact that
the stomach was not able to digest the
food last introduced into it. either from
its having been unsuitable, or excessive
in quantity. A diet of bread and butter,
with ripe fruit or berries, with mcderato
and continuous exercise in tlie ojcn air
sufficient to keep np a gentle perspira
tion, would cure almost every case in a
short time. Two tcaspoonf ul of powdered
cliarcnal in a lialf glass of water, and
drank, gives instant relief. Wo aro in
clined to think that tho above remedies
may do iu some, but not in all cases. A
sovereign remedy for this distressing
disease is not easily found. A new cor
rcsjiondont from Connecticut contributes
the following on this subject: Sick
headache is periodical, comes on at regu
lar intervals, and is tho signal of dis
tress which tho stomach puts out to in
form us that there is an over-alkaline
condition of its fluids ; that it needs a
natural acid to restore tho battery to its
normal working condition. When the
first symptoms of headache appear, take a
tablcspoonful of lemon juico clear, fif
teen minutes before each meal, and the
samo do so at bodtitno. Follow this up
until all symptoms aro passed, taking no
other remedies, and you will noon bo
ablo to go free from this unwelcomo
nuisance. Mauy will object to this be
causo the remedy is to simple ; but I haro
made many cures in this way.
Quaint Scotch Stories.
Many stories long current in and
about Pcrtli appear in Mr. Drmn
inoml's book. Thus wo havo the
story or tho presentation of lho
clarot jug to a gentleman who had
helped to keep up a corps or volun
teers. There was a dinner not a
tnoro "service of fruits and cako,"
such as intervened between two
'diets of worship," but a real din
ner and the jug was in tho center
of tho table. The chairman had welt
studied his subject and was prepared
with a great speoch: hut at the criti
cal moment the speech failed him,
and lie could uttor but the words,
"Yon's the joog." Tho proud recip
ient stood up in turn. in turn cast
about for a speech thai had made
itself wings, and s t down with tho
words "Is yon thojoog"
Tho .Laird ol Macnab supplies Mr.
Drunmiond with somo quaint stories.
