Ho Wandered.

A few years ago a Boston physician encountered a romance in his own family which excited his amusement, says the Mahogany Tree. An aged relative, a woman of eighty-eight, married a man a few years her junior. It was a love match. Dr. C. found much food for reflection in the romance. Some time afterward he met Dr. Holmes, and in course of a chat, as they walked down Beacon street, he related the incident to the autocrat of the Breakfast Table. It amused him immensely. He chuckled over it in various tones of voice until he reached his own door, lie bade Dr. C. good night and started up the steps. Suddenly he turned back and called: “Oh, by the way, doctor, one moment.” Dr. C. turned back and Holmes came down the steps again. “I have been intensely interested in that little tale,” he said, slowly. “Of course, at their age, they didn’t have any children; but, tell me, did they have any grandchildren?”
