DONALD QRJEME.^, SisaSsa

TfM in the Joyous spring-time 1 strolled with Donald Grteme

told me that be loved me, I whimpered back the same. I scarce could speak for rapt a re,

Tbo world seemed bathed In light The air wan Ailed with fragrance, And all things charmed the sight*

The birds, so sweetly warbling, Pound forth their thrilllug lays, While my glad heart re-echoed

Their grateful hymns of praise Ami next May day, iruin yonder church, Hell lead me forth a bride, wpp Through Love's eternal spring-time

To wander by his side. ,,

The Story of A Physi- •. cian's Wife.

"I have heard of persons whose hair was whitened through excessive fear, bat as I never saw myself anyone so affected Iain disposed to be credulous on the subject." I Toe above remark was made to Dr.

Maynard as» we sat on the piazza of bis pretty villa discussing the different e'fects of terror on dissimilar temperaments. Without replying to me, the doctor turned to his wife and said: "Helen, will you please relate to my old friend tbolnciaent within your own ex. perience? It is the most convincing argument I can advance."

I looked at Mrs. Maynard in surprise I had observed that her hair, which was luxuriant and dressed very becomingly, was purely colorless, but as she was a young woman, and also a very pretty one, surmised that it was powdered to heighten the brilliancy of her fine dark eyes.

The doctor and I had been friends and fellow students, but after leaving college we had drilled apart, I to commence practice in an eastern city, he to persue his profession in a growing town in the West. I was now on a visit to him for the first time since bis marriage.

Mrs Maynard, no doubt, reading my supposition by my look of incredulity, smiled a^ she shook down her snowy tresses over her shoulders, and seating herself by tier husband's side, related the following episode:

It is now nearly two years ago sinoe my husband was callod on, ono evening, to visit a pat'ent several miles away. Our domestics had all gone to a 'wake' in the vicinity, the dead man being a relative of one of ourserving women. Thns I was left alone. But I felt no fear, for we never had heard of burglars or any sort of desperadoes in our quite village, then consisting of a few scattered houses The windows leading out on the piazza were open as now, but I secured the blitids|bofore my^husband'a departure, and locked the outside doors, all except

the front one, which I left for the doctor to lock after going out, so that if I should fall asleep before his return he tuld enter without arousing me. I h-^ard the doctor's rapid footstep, on the

?no

ravel, quickeuod by the urgent tones of messenger, who awaited him, and after the sharp rattle ot the carriage wheels had boeome but an echo, I seated myself by the parlor astral and soon became absorbed in tbo book I had been reading before being disturbed by the summons. But after a time my interest succumbed to drowsiness, and I thought of retiring, when the clock in thodoctor's study adjoining the parlor

struck twelve so I determined to wait a few moments more, feeling that he would be home now very soon. I closed my book,donned a robedecbambre' let down my hair, and then returned to my soat to patiently wait and list on. Not tho faintest sound disturbed the stillness of the night. Not a breath of air stirred the leaf. The silent was so profound that it became oppressive. I longed for tho sharp click of tho gatelatch and tho well known step On the igravel walk. I did not dare to break the hush myself by moving or singing,

I was so oppre%sed by tho deep stillness. The human inindis a strange torturer of itself, I began to cor jure up yivld fancies about ghostly visitant*, in the midst oi which oroured to uie tho stories I had hoard fromHupertltioUH people dbout the "troubled spirits of those who had died suddenly likwtheinan whom uiy seivants had gouo to'wako,' who hau bjbn kill by hii aedd nt at th av nii I. In the n'ltd ot csc rilf ing reflections I JWS was rtarlled ay a htealtby footfall on tho piazza. I listened between fear and ho e. It might be the doctor. Hut no, he would not tread like that? he stjp waa too soft and caution* fir anything less wily than a cat As'I listened again my eve* were fixed on the win•H d, bllud I the slats move slowly &aml aoftlv, and the.j tho rays of tho moon disclosed a thin, cadaverous fac and bright, flittering eyes peering at

I Keonwd bo frozen iu mv chair. 1 eoiiUl not move, I could not cry out my tongue seemed glued to the roor oi my mouth, while the deathly whit® lace pressed closer, and the great sunken eyes wander in their ga«« about the room. In a few moments the blind closed i* noiselessly as it had been opened, and the cautious footstep came toward the duor. 'Merciful heaven I cried, in a horror stricken whisper, as 1 heard the key turn the lock, tho. doctor, in his haste, must have forgotten to withdraw the key.* 6 tfcd forgive me!" ejaculated Dr.

Maynard. iutetruptiug hi* wife, and looking far more excited than she. "I can never rgive myself tor such a thotighUesa aeS Plewe, proceed, my dfHtf.**

"«Ah, he wished to spare you, no doubt, a disagreeable apprehension, be returned, advancing, and taking a Mat on the sofa opposite me, where for a fewmoments he sat and eyed me keenly from head to loot with a strange glittering light in his eyes that mysterious impressed me. 'You have a remarkably tine physique, madam,' be observed, quietly 'one that might deceive the eye of the most skilled and practical physician. Do you suffer much pain "Unable to speak, I shook my head. A terrible suspicion was creeping over me. I was alone—miles away from aid or rescue—with a mad trail. "'Ah,' he continued, refleqjively, 'your husband may have mistaken a tumor for a cancer. Allow me to feel your pulse,' he said, rising and beuding. over me. •'I thought it best to humor him, remembering it was unwise for a help less woman to oppose the, as yet, harmless freak of a lunatic. He took out his watch, shook his head gravely, laid my hand down gently, then went toward the study, where, on the table, was an open case of surgical instruments. '"Do not be alarmed, madame,' he said, turning to me as I was about to rise and llee, and in another instant he was by my side, with the case in his possession.

Involuntarily I raised my hand and cried Spare me! O, spare me, I beseech

'Madame,' he said sternly, clasping my wrist with his long sinewy fingers, with a grip of steel, 'you behave like a .child. I have no time to parley, for I have received a letter from thff Emperor of the French stating that he is suffering from an iliac abscess, and is desirous ot my attendance. I must start for Europe immediately after performing the operation on your breast,' and belore I could make the slightest resistance he bad me in bis arms and was carrying me into the study where there was a long table with green baize. On this he laid me, and holding me down with one hand with the strength of a maniac, he brought forth from some hidden recess in his gown several long leather straps, with which he secured me tp the table with the skill of an expert. It was but the work of a moment to unloose my robe and bare my bosein. Then, after carelully examining my left breast, he said:

Madame, your husband has made a mistake. I And no necessity for my intended operation.'

At this I gave along drawn sigh ol reliel, and prepared to rise. 'But,' he continued, 'I have made the discovery that your heart is as large as that of an ox I will remove it so that you may see for yourself, reduce it to its natural size by a curious process of my own, unknown to the medicai science, and of whioh I am the sole discoverer, and then replace it again.'

He now began to examine the edge of tho cruel knife, on which I closed my eyes, while every nerve was in a perceptible tremor.

The menhanism of the heart is like a watch,' he resumed 'if it goes too fast the great blood vessel that supplies the force must be stopped like the lover of a watch, and the works must be cleaned and repaired and regulated. It may interest you to know that I was present at the post-mortem examination held over the remains of the beautiful Louise of Prussia. Had I been consulted before death I would have saved ber by taking out her heart and removing the polypi, between which it was wedged like as ii in a vise but I was called too late. The king and I had a little difference—he was a German, I am French. I trust that issufficient explanation.'

He now bent over me, bis long white beard brushing my face. I raised my eyes beseechingly, trying to .binkof some way to save myself. '0, sir, give mo an anaesthetic, that I may not feel the pain,' I pleudea.

Indeed indeed, madame, I would comply with your wish were you not the wife of a physician—of a skillful surgeon. I wish you to note with what ease 1 perform this difficult operation, so that you may tell your husband of the great savant whose services be secured, fortunately in season.'

As he said this he made the final test of his knife on his thumb. How pre cious were the moments now! They were fleeing all too fast, and yet an eternitv seemed compressed :n every one. I never fainted in my life, and I never felt less like swooning than now. as I summoned all my presence of mind to delay the fearful moment, fervently praying in tho meantime for my husband's return.

Dock#,' skid I, with assumed composure, I have the utmost confidence in your skill. I would not trust my life to another but, doctor, you have forgotten to bring a napkin to staunch tho blood If you will huve the goodness to ascend to my sleeping chamber, at the right of the hall, you will find everything you need for that purpose in the bureau. 'Ah, madame,' bo said, shaking his head sagaciously, 'I never draw blood during a surgical operation that is another one of my secrets unknown to the faculty.'

Then placing his hand on my bosom he added with horrible espieglerle: •"I'll scarcely mar that whiter skin than snow and smooth as monumental alabaster.' «"0, God,!' I cried, as I ffelt the cold stoel touch my breast but with the same breath came deliveranoe.

Quick as thought a heavy woolen piano-cover was tltrown over tho head and person of tho madman, and bound tightly about him. As quickly was I released, and the thongs tuat had bound me soon held the mantac.

My husband held mo in his arms. He had noislossly approached,snd takiug in the horror of my situation at a gianco, had, by the only means at hand, secured the madman, who was tho very patient he bad been summoned to attend, but who had escaped the \igilance of his keeper soon alter the departure of the messenger, who had now returned with the doctor In pursuit of him. As the poor wretch was being hurried away ho turned to me and said Madame, this is a plot to ro me of my reputation. Your husband is envious of toy great skillasasurgeon. Adieu 1' Iaiterward learned that the man was once an eminent surgeon in Kurope,butmn«h learning had made him mad. When he bound me to that table my hair was as black as a raven whwi I lelt it, it was as you see it now—white as full-blown cotton."

THRHOMH OF TASTE. (low mm) it is to be nost—to be clean How easy it i» to arrange the rooms with the moat graceful propriety! How easy it is to invest our homes with the truest elegance I Elegance resides not with the upbolatersr or the draper It exbtsln the spirit presiding over the apartments of the dwelling. Contentment must always be most grateful it a beds serenity over the scenes of Its abode it transJhrnis a wa*te into a garden. The homes lighted by those intimations of a nobler an brighter life, may be wanting in much wuich the discontented desire but, to fta It ha ita- ts it will be a palace far outvying the Oriental in brilliancy and iwaaiy.

THE DUNKERS.

A Curious Sect and Curious Customs.

Dunker," says a correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, from the German word dunken, to dip or duck a word used in familiar, conversational German. The German Baptists immerse their convertsln a manner wholly peculiar. They take the convert down to the water's edge, always to a river or running stream, none of your new fangled wa-"in church cisterns and have him kneel down In the water. Then the preacher takes him by the back of the neck and dips him under the water, ftice foremost, you understand, not backwards, as do other Baptists. They dip him under, face foremost, three times, once in the name of the Father, once in the name of the Son, and once in the name of the Hely Ghost, thus giving him a triple or triune baptism. Hence tho nickname Dunker or Ducker.

The men of the church part their hair in the middle, wear both bair and beard quite long, and look like pictures of the old Fiole patriarchs. They wear long bair and beard because the patriarchs and 'postles did, and are forbidden to crop their hair short or to shave their beard off.

Bnt thoy never kiss across. Iu the matter of .greeting colored brethren with the holy kiss the church rules say that inasmuch as some white members have a weakness against kissing olored folks, it is "considered advisable" that the colored brethren put up with that weak uess for the present, and excuse the holy kiss until such time as the white brethren become stronger in the faith.

The German Baptist take their children to church, babies and all, in ancient pioneer fashion. There were people in the little meeting house from seventy years to six months old. The old Dunker women have the peaceablest, prettiest faces I ever saw on any old lady The faces of the women from the oldest to the youngest, are all so fair and sweet looking. There sat a venerable grandmothor with snowy hair and calm, fair face. Beside her a beautiful young mother with her baby, the cunningest little bright eyed Dunker baby, a perfect picture of the Madonna and child. And, if you'll believe me, even that Dnnker baby wore on its face the Dunker look ofineffable calm and peace too.

You won't be surprised that the Dunker sisters' faces look fair and unwrinkled and sweet tempered, when I iell you how they dress. Their dress-up church costume is a plain calico dress and cape, and a gray calico sun-bonnet. The men's dress is of the very plainest cuttoo. Only think of it, friends. Suppose we could one and all suddenly cut away everything cumbrous and uncom fortable from our dress and from our lives, and have no more overskirts, bustles, ruffles, tight boots, tight dresses, tight coats, tight heads or corn doctors no pearl powder, false.hair, false smiles or lalse hearts, no worry and heartache and scheming to dress as well as this woman or that one, and no wicked euvy or spite in our hearts because we can't do it suddenly to throw all this rubbish aside forever, and be simply natural and comfortable. Tl!e very thought'' of it makes a woman's heart ache to fly away and be a Dunker sister too.

It must be s-. "'-etbing in the peaceful, simple lives ui these women which makes them so 'eitant to look at. It appears to me I nevr 'saw so many silk dresses together in u. life as I saw in a Cincinnati congregati last Sunday, and yet, among all these "egant ladies. I failed to see one face a- serene and fair and pure as thi faces many of the Dunker sisters that Suno in the rude little church. It must be ^ere is some hidden spell, too, in a sti '«ht, lightcalico dress and gray sun bo ?t, for the young Dunker girls, who most. wore the world's dress, looked coar.stand commonplace beside their mothers in the Dunker costume.

110 W TO BREATHE PROPERLY. i- [Rochester Union.] Mtist people breathe properly often more by accident or instinct than by design, but, on the other hand, hundredsof thousands do not breathe properly, while many thousands at this present moment are suffering from nnore or less severe affections of tue lungs or throat owing to a .aulty mode of respiration—in other words, because they bie tthe through the mouth instead of through the nostrils. The mouth has its own functions to perform in connection with eatltur, drinking and speaking and the nostrils have theirs, namely, smelling and breatbinit. In suuimor time the error ef respiring through the mouth is not so evident as in the winter season, when it is undoubtedly fraught with danger to the person who commits the mistake. If any one breathes through the natural channels of tbo nostrils, the air, passing over the mucuous membrane lining tho various chambers of the nose, becomes warmed to tho temperature of the body bofore reaching the lungs, but if he takes the air between the lips and in the month the oold air comes in coutuct with the delicate lining membrane of the throat and lungs, aud gives rise to a local chill frequently endiug in inflammation. Many persons, without knowing tbo reason why they are benefited, wear respirators over their in* uth in winter If they happen to go out of doors. By doing this they diminish the amount or air whioh enters between the lips, and virtually compel themselves to breathe through tl» nostrils. Hut they could attain just the same result by keeping the Lips closed, a habit whicn is easily acquired, and conduces to the proper and natural way of breathing. We believe that if people would only adopt this simple habit—in other words, If they would take for their rule in breathing, "Shut your mouth!" there would be an intense diminution in the two dssees of diseases, namely: those of the lungs and throat, which eouut many thousands of victims in this country in the oourae of a single year.

The religious ceremonies which particularly distinguish this from other Christian churches, are kissing, feetwashing and soup-eating. In various places in the New Testament the "holy kiss" and the "kiss of charity" are mentioned therefore, when these brethren and sisters meet at church they shake hands and kiss. When a brother comes intochnrch he shakes bands and kisses all the brethren, a sister ditto the sisters. I confess it nearly upset my dignity to soe these gray bearded old fellows come in and kiss one another, with a sounding smack, all around. I dare say one could «et used to it though. Tbo brethren kiss the brethren, and the sisters kiss the sisters.

RENCONTRES WITH THE INSANE. A lady was one evening sitting in her drawing room alone, when the only ottaer inmate of the house, a brother, who for a time had been betraying a tendency to unsoundnessof mind, entered with a carving knife in his hand, and shutting the door, came up to her and said, "Mar-

firet,

and odd idea has occured to me. wish to paint the head of John the Baptist, and I think yours mi,tbt make an excellent study for it. So, if you please, I will cut off your head." The lady looked at ber brother's eye, and seeingin it no token of a jest, concluded that be meant to do as be said. There was an open window avd a bal lony by her side, with a street in front but a moment satisfied her that safety did not lietha way. So putting on a entiling countenance, she said, That is a strange idea, George but would it not be a pity to spoil this pretty new lace tippet I have got? I'll just step to my room to put it off, and bo with you again in half a minute." Without giving him time to consider, she stepped lightly across the floor and passed out. In another moment she was sale in her own room, whence she easily gave the alarm, and the madman was seen red.

The story of the gentleman commanded by some insane persons to jump from the top of a tower in their asylum, and who escaped by telling tbem he would rather jutnp from the bot'om to the top, and ran down stairs as if to execute his intention, is well known But the follow ing anecdote of a similar situation will be news to most readers: A gentleman accompanying a party to inspect an asylum, chanced to be left behind in the kitchen with a number of the inmates who acted as cooks and scullions to the establishment. There was a buge caldron of boiling water on the fire, into which the madmen declared they must put him, in order to boil him for broth. They would fain have assisted him into the large pot and as they were laying hold of him, he reflected that in a personal struggle he would "have no chance with them—all he con Id do was to gain time. So he said, "Very well, gentlemen, I am sure I should make good broth, if you do not spoil it by boiling tny clothes with it." "Take off your clothes," they cried out and be bejjan to take off his things very slowly, crying out loudly the whole while: "Now, gentlemen, my coat is off—I will soon be stripped. There goes my waistcoat— I shall soon be ready and so on, till nothing remained but his shirt. Fortunately, the keeper, attracted by his loud speaking, hurried in just in time to save him.

GEMS @i*'THOUOHT.

He who can at all times sacrifice pleasure to duty approaches sublimity. The highest clouds seem to move slowest, and so, too, does everything great.

The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.

Whatever multiplies the ties that bind man to man makes him better and happier.

If a man could only look at himself with a sober eye when he is drunk he would never drink again.

Air minds are influenced every mo ment, apd there is a providence in every feeling, thought and word.

Keep the horrors at arm's length. Never turn a blessing round to see whether it has a dark side to it.

The knowledge of words is the gate of scholarship. The history of a word is often more instructive than the history of a.cainpaign.

Six things are requisite to create "a happy home." Integrity must be the architect and tidiness the upholsterer. It must be warmed by affection .and lighted up with cheerfulness, and industry must be the ventilator, renewing the atmosphere and bringing in fresh salubrity day by day bile over ftll, as a protecting glory aud canopy, nothing will suffice except tbo glory of God.
