a cool summer morning a younsr man sat on a bench the green circle called Union Square Park. The !.-eat was wet with 'dt-w. It was tha smoky hour in the morning when the city is settirg its early breakfast.
Men were harrying
to their work in all directions. You could hear the halloo of the milkmen in the aide streets. The cool shadows lay across all the damp roadways. The sun waa not yet up over Long Island, hat his rays touched the top of Grace Church spire and made it golden.

Two office boys who were hurrying past saw it. One ot them nudged tbe other, and the other whistled a note of surprise. "Cauoodla before breakfast, eh, what?" he said. "That's business, ain't it? I wonder where he picked up that pelican!" "Jack," said the woman, "we've stood up to it for a year. Don't break down now. Things will turn to day, I'm sure of it. You want to be happy, don't yea '•Do I?" he said, sullenly. "I cant flgbt against God, can I?" "Keep your spirits up, then, and I'll be happy,' she replied. "You're losing your head don't do that, my dear dont do that. It makes me awfully lonely."
Just then a man got up from one of the benches on the opposite side of the walk and left a penny paper lying on the seat. She saw it. and with a dart that startled her companion she made a dash tor it getting there two seconds before a loBgshoreman in his shirt sleeves. Seizing it triumphantly and returning, she thrust it into Jack's hands. "Look at the advertisement!," she said. "I shan't be ten minutes."
Where are you going?" he asked in some surprise. "Over to that hotel," she replied with a forced jauntiness. "I know the house keeper, and I want to speak a word to her. I'll b« back before you've read the paper. Tou won't go away, will you?"
He groaned. "I know what you are going 10 do," he said with a bitter emphasis. I'd rather starve." "I'm going to change your luck, she cried. "Wait for me a little while. And she went briskly cff.

Dolly prayed nearly all day. She didn't kneel down and do it formally in set phrase. She just let her heart go up in a thankfulness for 'ch there are no words. A little door ha sbeen opened. There was light gleamic ^yond. Her Jack was lighter hearte*. \hs'd show him how many luxuries a week would furnish when love d. ie shopding.

They'd have a home in time She cou'd see her chickens—there were to be six Plymouth Bocks ano a cock—coming under the kitchen window for tbe crumbs. It was all so modest and humble that she knew fate wouldn't begrudge them this enj -yment. So they'd put up with poverty, and save all their money and wait and sing.
But above all she felt thankful at Jack's moral change. The moment he got a good meal and a chance of work the dreadful whimsies about fate_ all left him and he was a man again. You could not,have convinced her that morn iDg thi their good luck had not set in. She could not see the sky from the windows, but she felt that it was goldea with promises.

The paper used is light blue, and heavy the ink is dark blue. Mr. Dickens wrote a peculiar hand, the lines very close together, the letters very small, and the frequent marks of erasure and change betrav the utmost care in the preparation of the work. At times a whole line had been scored out to be replaced by another choice of words, a different mode of expression, or to be dropped out alto gether. Occasionally evidence of the author's entire absorption in his work may be seen in the departure of the lines |, from exactness, snd their tendency toward the corner of the sheet. It is not difficult to form a mental picture of the self-f argetfulness of the great writer, and of his utter sbandonment to his work, as he sits at his library table at Gadshill hour after hour, weaving the threads of bis wonderful stories.
In the second volume the same method is observed, the skeleton filling eighteen similar pages, in which there is a extra nete to suggest something regarding Mr Boffin. The story is marked as completed September 2, 1865, and has a postscript in lieu of a prelhce, filling one and OBe third pages, under which is given this date. The manuscript is just as it came from Mr. Dickens' bands, even the names of the compositors in the printing office remaining at the head of each "tske." In the first volume
inserted a personal letter from Mr. Dick ens to Mr. Childs. The letter is not, however, in reference to the manuscript, but relates to entertaining Mr. ana Mrs. Childs at Gadshill in return for the hospitality shown the great author when he was on a visit to this country. The letter is in most jovial vein, and mentions his daughter and his sister-in-law, but says notning nothing about his wife, for the reason that at that time there was no wife at Gadshill.

It is bound in two large quarto volumes. It is the only complete manuscript of any of Charles Dickens' outside of the South Kensington museum. One or two of his short Christmas stories are, however, to be found in this country. The "Mutual Friend" manuscript is dated at Gadshill, Thursday Janui.ry 4. 1866, and is signed at tbe head of the sheet "Charles Dickens." Then comes the skeleton of the story.

be medical profes-" sion of this city, led by the medical cal journals, is up in arm* just now against a recently established institution designed to protect people of
means against medical extortion and quackery. One of these journals, the Medical Record, dubs it "Toe Dollar Medical Shep," and demands to know how long it is proposed to thus "encourage the pnblie to evade its just dues to physicians." The idea that the human family owes certain dues physicians seemed to me altogethej unique and remarkable, and while ot my way to the institution I could not help guessing as to the means that should find employed there to cheat the doctors out of therr "duet." Perhaps, thought I, I shall find them selling bread pills by the pound, with careful in strnctions as to how many times a da they are to be taken, or selling jalap, treacle and attenuations of aconite, belladonna and nux vomica at wholesale prices.

THE OUT PATIENT ANWEX.
The institution I found to be connected with the New York hospital, in Fifteenth street, near Fifth avenue, and was not in the rooms long before I made the discovery that first-rate medical advice was being given for a mere trifle and medicine dispensed at a figure bearing some resemblance to its original cost.
The institution, called the "Out Patient" department, is designed for the use of workingmen's families and others of small means. For $1 a month a family is allowed twelve consultations, and the prescriptions, which are put up on the premises, are from 10 to 15 cents extra being the same that the apotheaccustomed to charge from 25

THE DISPEH8ABX.
The medical press, in its crusade »gainst the new project, charges that it -ervee to take away from the physician at large tbe patients and the fees that properly belong to him. It would be interesting to learn the course of reasoning by which it can be logically shown that a physician has any rights over any class of patients and a warrant to exut 12 a visit or more when the same service can be had at lower rates. It would be -till interesting to knrw what are "the just dues that patients owe to physicisns" «nd which the medical faculty of "Out Patient" department are accused of encouraging them to "evade."
Another charge against the new system is that it is made nee of by those who are eally able to pay the regular charaes of visiting physicians. Perhaps the answer to this is that'he "regular" charges of chese visiting physicians, who are within the cal' of poor people, are exorbitant ind out of all proportion to the services rendered, often, indeed, being exacted for services that should not hare been rendered at all, because not required Again, there are many people in tbe city
New York especially—though no doubt they abound quite as extensively other cities—who look to be in a position to pay, but in reality are not. Many an individual and many a family on which misfortune has, suddenly fallen are, at times, compelled to_ forego calling a physician, though be might be of real service, because of the expense. That hey wear good clothes is not an nnfail ngsign that they are in immediate possession of ample funds._ Their good clothes may be only a relic of the competence they enjoyed in the recent past and of which they were suddenly deprived.
One of the medical journals warns the managers of the new institution that should they persist in their course the time may come when every physician will open a private dispensary on his own account and at certain hours of the day treat all comers gratuitously. Many eminent French and German phy sicians have long maintained such piivatedispensariet, and the multitude who are now paying over to the physicians a not inconsiderable portion of their incomes will await with something like pleasant anticipation for the time when American physicians will emulate these medical philanthropists and whieh time, the medical journal quoted, thinks to be not far off.

ABOUT MARRIAGE.
Jocose Replies to th« Board of Ednea tloB'e Circular. New York Tribune.
A flutter of indignation and astonishment was heard in the public schools re cently when a circular was received from Superintendent Jasper by the principals inquiring the names of all teachers who had been married since January, 1£85. In most of the schools there were severed teachers who regarded the inquiry as directed particularly to themselves. They had aot been married, but there had been
ills of a large proportion of the callers, I rumors of such an occurrence, which, say one third, were more fancied than I though not without some foundation, had real, and that those of, perhaps, a like I
actually taken place. Some of the
male
teachers regarded the inquiry as
that there had been eighty-one marriages in the time referred to, and the teachers had all tendered their resignations. The answers were characteristic, though some Of the principals did not respond until a second or third request had been served on them. Then these replied promptly in these words:
Mr Dear Mu. Xaspkb—None of the teaohere my department I ave been married einoe January, 1885, and tboaght it therefore unne cieeary to inform yon of that fact. Yourm, etc.
Often the circulars were returned with he reply that no teachers married remained a single day in school. In sev eral instances all the teachers in a department signed a leply with a statement "We, the Undersigned male and female teachers in this school, do solemnly declare that we are all unmarried."
Said one principal: "I have the pleasure to report that to the best of my knoweldge and belief we are all unmarried, and there has been no change of name by any of the teachers in two years."
