She had been resting her head npon her hand, full of thought, when sud­ denly she heard the soand of horse's ^°°fe cI&ttering down the street. She ^looked up wondering who the rider could jffc* . ' ^be, and looking up hail startled, It was 11 j If Dr. Halifax himself, and as he reached the gate he slackened his speed, and dismounting came up the garden walk with a hurried step. She did not wait i# the servants, but stepping into the . hall flung open the shade blinds in re­ sponse to his summons and sfcood before him. He certainly did not expect to Bed her, but he Idid not wince, merely bowimg, and coloring slightly. "I beg your pardon, Kiss Ashby, "he said; " but I come to solicit chanty* on the behalf of one of my patients. I am ' n4t a rinds man myself," with the calm, ;hapdaom@ eyes on her face, " and your father told me that I might rely upon him in this terrible trouble." "I am very glad to be of service," 'said Bessie, '* What Is most needed. Dr. Halifax?" : He made a few suggestions, as he .thought proper, and, under his direc­ tions, she filled a large basket with food and wine. It seemed as though he was at least ten years older, and Bessie's heart grew very full at the sight of his grave faca as she completed her iag, the pale face flushed and the strong limbs trembled and failed as they had Sever done before. • At about 6 o'clock, as torn sat in his office writing ou; some prescriptions, Oapt. Housted entered the room and staggered into a chair. "• I am afraid you are going to have a patient, Halifax, he said, smiling fee* hly. "T feel rather faint." And as ha satd this he dropped his deathly face upon the table and lay there without moving. He had braved it a long time, but the dreadful pest, had come upon him at last. Tom sent for Col. Ashby, and the sick man was carried home. At the door Bessie met them with a pale faoe but steady eyes.' "She ought to have been sent away," •aid Tom. " But i am not afraid," she answered, firmly. "Please let tee stay." I dare say you will decide that Dr. Halifax was shockingly unstable when I the elasticity of hearts, and, recovering from his sickness, recovered from his disappointment in a very sensible and decorous manner. In all probability he forgot MB penchant for brown eyes and married a blonde. If he did, could there be a better proof that love is a lottery, ** variety the spice of life?" In. Lincoln's Prophecies. On the 4th of November, 1842, she married Abraham Lincoln, who was then a prominent lawyer of Springfield, DL Ambitious in the highest degree, when a young girl she was frequently heard to declare that she was destined to be the wife a President erf the United States, though when she espoused Mr. Lincoln there did not seem much likeli­ hood of her aspiration being fulfilled.

He had leaked down npon the pretty face be­ neath its veiling curls, the wet lashes and tremulous mouth, thinking a little sadly of the days when her eyes would have met his with a warmer glow. Yes, ti all came to the same thing in the end. 'he old wound had not completely ealed, arid a soft glance from the girl­ ish eyes had it throbbing again almost as fiercely as ever. That night he came npon Capt. Housted; : " Can not I help you, Halifax ?" said te kind-hearted fellow. " You are kil 1-- g yourself. Let me do something, if IB only to grind powders." " You must not run the risk of infec­ tion," said Tom. ('You have some­ thing at home to take care of." "Yes," said Capt. Fred. "But I don't think the little somebody cares " jouueh." His voice had stopped a tone j«r so, and he was tapping his boots with his whip, as though musingly. "Ask her," suggested Tom, with a short laugh, that almost choked him, "I'm going to ask her to-night," said Ihe Captain, raising his head suddenly, With a half smile. "It's all a lottery, you know. It remains to be proven whether my prize is a blauk or not." Three hours later Bessie stood with her cousin in the garden. "It is no use," she said with impet- tremor. "I don't love you, Cousin Tred--at least, not as I must love the 1 marry. I thought I did, but lately"--she stopped, dropping her face, and then added, almost in a whisper : "I have been very wicked and foolish. Please forgive me!" The Captain looked down a little •gravely. "When did you change your ; flpnd, Bessie?" "A few weeks ago, since this dreadful Blague. It made me think, and I saw , Jbat--I had not been doing rightly." It wan tuliy three minutes before Fred Housted spoke again. " See here, Bessie I" he said, at last, •• I am learning something, too. I never believed '. the , gossip before now"--a • moment's pause, and his smothered doubt burst forth. "Bessie, why did you quarrel with Tom Halifax ?" "Oh, Fred, d m'*!" she said. ft "Don't cry," saidJfred. "i want to , * 3mow the truttt,'*^ I have said Bessie Ashby never did halves. .

I don't think I should have been so wicked, but he was so Mr. Lincoln, Mrs. Lincoln had the profound gratification of seeing her prophecy of being the wife of a Presi- dent on a fair way to verification. The j nomination of her husband was declared ! unanimous, and the day was indeed at i eveptful one in Springfield. Crowds of ! excited people thronged to Mr. Lincoln's i house and warmly congratulated his ; wife. Just after the election a singular 1 circumstance occurred which once more 1 brought out the gift of prophecy which Mrs. Lincoln possessed. Mr. Lincoln • described it in the following language: j "It waB after my election, when the \ news had been coming in thick and > fast all day, and there had been a great me 1 was ^ •hurrah boys !' so that I was well tiied m1entally out and went home to rest, throwing myself upon a lounge in my chamber. ; Opposite to where I lay was a bureau with a swinging glass upon it, and look- ; ing in that glass I saw myself reflected ' nearly at my length, but my face, I no- : ticed, had two separate and distinct ; images, the tip of the nose of one being ; about three inches from the tip of the.' other. I was a little bothered, perhaps startled. I got up and looked in the ; glass, but the illusion vanished. On i lying down again I saw it a Beoond time \ plainer if possible than before; and then ; I noticed that one of the faces was paler than the other. I got up and the thing. | melted away, and I went off and in the j excitement of the hour forgot all about 1 it--nearly, but not quite--for the thing j would once in a while come up and give me a little pang as though something ' uncomfortable had happened. When I came home I told my wife about it, and I a few days after I tried the experiment 1 again, when, sure enough, the thing | came back again ; but I never succeeded ' in bringing the ghost back after that, < though 1 once tried very industriously j to show it to my wife, who was worried l about it somewhat. She thought it was ! a 'sign' that I was to be elected to a sec- ! ond term of office and that the paleness j of one of the faces was an omen that I ! should not see life through the second term." Mr. Lincoln regarded the vision j as an optical delusion caused by nerv- j ousness. His wife's prophetic interpret- ! ation of the circumstance, viewed in j the light of subsequent events, seems I certainly most extraordinary. -- Jisw j York Herald. proud, and things got worse every dayj but lately it has all o oan'thelp it.' » wurae vvBTj usj: oome back, and I You have not treated me well, Bes- , l|ie," said the honest young Captain after . 4 short silenoe. " Men, don't want women to marry- them because 'they think they can like them well enough ;' - Imt I think jrqn .see how you nave , I^Tfronged me. Jt is all over now, so we will say no more about it." I have said before that hearts do not . fcraak. They may stretch and perhaps .>2aner a liltt&iti the rebound, hut really breaking % out of the question'; ana warm and true though our brave Cap- iain's might be, it was not likely to dis­ grace the general india-rubber reputa­ tion by snapping, even in this painful •train; so pray do not blame poor, pen­ itent Bessie for any misfortunes which may hereafter befall him. 'the next morning Dr. Halifax met his , , rival in the street. j «• I prophesied rightly, old fellow," said the gentleman quietly. " The af- 7 Jjrmative proves to be a negative, aftay "Mademoiselle is changeable," said Tom. " I nope I am not gping to have i' you for a patient, Houstsd. You are as .pale as a ghost." j • "Broken heart," laughed the CJap- s tain. " No, I don't think you will. The Warmth gives me a Blight headacho; ' fcat is all." . But there was something more. As the day grew the slight' headache be- «HW a severe throbbing and puis* capricious coquetry was "thrown aside, and in all her appealing obedience to his orders he could not fail to see a little sensitive fear which sometimes troubled, but always stirred his heart. He must take care of her, too ; every Bhadow that crossed the pretty face must be in­ quired into. He was not going to fall in love again, of course ; he was merely doing his duty, as a medical man. Still, it was rather interesting. Capt. Housted was the last serious case of sickness, but it was a very severe one. For months the poor fellow's life lay trembling in tbe balance--one day fevered and delirious, the next seem • ingly sinking into death. But in timo he began to straggle through it. and, thanks to Tom's skill and patience, the shadowy faoe began to light with a faint glimmer of returning strength. Gradually the fearful scourge weak­ ened its power, and little by little seemed passing away. There were still patients to be visited, and work to be done, but the awful raa^e of the pesti­ lence had swept by. Then it was that Torn Halifax began to reap his reward. People who had never leard his name six months before sent for him in all critical cases. Men of wealth and high standing in society courted his acquaint­ ance as ;the brave young doctor who did his wotfk so nobly throughout the sick­ ness at Doming. Men and women pointed him out to each other on the street, saying, " But for him I ebonld have been laid in my grave." "When my old mother died lie was the last man she knew." " When we were in trouble he worked for us day and night. God bless him!" Had there been nothing else, the warm, loyal young heart would have thrilled with tender thankfulness at the simple gratitude of the humble suffer­ ers to whom he seemed almost a Savior, but, apart from this, reality came to him. There was no lack of practice now, and the name and fortune that had seemed so far away a year ago became a promise of truth. Of course as yet they were not quite perfected, but still each day | brought them nearer, and showed some- ! thing of solid advancement in life' and prospect. The Chateaux en Fspagne were beginning to stand on a substan­ tial foundation. Perhaps this might have made him very happy. Naturally he felt thankful, but being a very warm hearted and (in some things) a very un­ scientific M. D., he couM not feel quite restful. The truest of all troths is that what­ ever we love we can forgive, and what­ ever we forgive it is not difficult to love. Bessie Ashby had refused Capt Hous­ ted. Why had she done it ? Could it be that her foolish little heart was sub- j dued at last ? It is easy to be magnani- I mous when one has been injured, and it i is hard not to be magnanimous when the j injurer is a pretty girl whom one has i loved. If this were more than a simple I record I should certainly decide that my j hero could not forgive my heroine under j any circumstances, and consequently j should doom them both to misery and j despair. But, as it is, I am compelled j to say that Tom Halifax, M. D., forgave j Bessie Ashby, for the simple reason that, i in spite «f her faults, he loved her. ! And Bessie ? During her cousin's ill- i ness she had learned the extent of the M. D.'s power. She had found out that she ! could look up to him and relv on his j strength, that she could trust iiim im- j Elicitly. She began to discover that he i ad a higher object in view than the re- j gard for self, which had - been the one : ruling power of her life, and his example taught her the true nobility of generous j sacrifice. Still, in spite of the change in j the hearts of both, they had not ad- ' vanced much outwardly from the old j coldness. But in the second month of j Capt. Housted's illness the denouement ! came, as a denouement always comes, i unexpectedly. One evening there had* been a slight I return of the fever, and after a heavy j sleep the patient awakened, restless and ! wandering. Bessie was standing at one : side of tiie bed and Dr. Halifax at the ! other, holding the Oapttfin's band as he opened his eyes. j "It was vou she loved, after all, Hali- : fax," he said, smiling faintly; '«I am * only Cousin Fr^d.'" The blood rushed into Bessie's face, j The handsome eyes told her they qpder- ; stood--told her with one glance that j •burnt her cheeks and set her heart beat- j ing swiftly. The next moment she j brushed by him and left the room. Half an hour after, Dr. Halifax came ! down stairs and walked straight into the j parlor, as though he had some object in I view. A very pretty figure stood re- j veal^ed in the dusky light by the window i so he came home like an express on a --a pretty head, with long, shining j down grade, but Stevens, who thought curls, resting upon an equally pretty ; he had about fifteen mites further to go, hand. I wonder if Miss Ashby knew went all to pieces, as you remember, and what was coming ? Certainly her pulse i almost laid down on the track.

The writer met the jo ford while dining at the Winter Palace at St. Petersburg, a short time after that huge sporting wraDgle, and, in the course of a conversation on turf matters, the astute prodder of horse flesh said, with a child-like and ingenuous smile, as he passed the beans: "Would you like to know the dead inside facts as to how that race was won ?" " Why, you rode the best horse, didn't you ?" we asked. " Not a bit of it," replied the jockey, with a griu. " The fact was that Ruth­ erford was only about the fourth choice, and was not rated at more than eighth or ninth in the pools. True Blue, Katie Pease aud Thad Stevens all lipd the call over Ruthy. But it happened that my horse was a 4 bolter,' and to steady him and prevent his flying the track I put blinders and goggles on him. You no­ ticed them, I suppose." " There were two horses rigged that way," we replied. "Exactly; Stevens was a nervous critter, also, and as soon as his trainer' saw how the goggles steadied my horse he put 'em on Thad, too. The day be­ fore the race a big idea occurred to me. I got a couple of pair of magnifying lenses and qjaietly put 'em in ^lace of the plain glasses in the goggles of both horses. Catch on to the idea ?" "Well, partly." "The only difference was, that in Stevens' bridles I fastened the glasses with the bulge inside, so as to make them diminishing glasses. Don't you see ?" " Like looking through the wrong end of an opera-glass, eh ?" "Exactly; the result was that while Rutherford was encouraged all the way by the course seeming only a couple of hundred yards long, the quarter ilags appeared ten miles apart to Stevens.' You see a horse can be disoouraged just as well as a man." "Great scheme, that." " Well, I should smile.
