' The late Doctor Nicholas Fay was a toerfeetly original character. Fate and portune had been kind to him, provid­ ing him with wealthy and distin­ guished ancestors. He inherited their great worldly possessions; their gentility eamc #'s e to him as a matter of coarse, after "their centuries of good breeding; his ^eccentricities, if they were congenital *nd not acquired, dated so far back in th*} blood that they could not be traced. He studied medicine and pretended to practice it, because it was in the family traditions that its members should do something useful in the world; and ,;.§eith his decided aptness for the profes- tion9 nothing but what he facetiously Called his Jack of poverty prevented Jus making a grand success in it. As it %»•«, he was a doctor when he was com­ pelled to be one; he obeyed professional «alls sparingly and reluctantly, but whenever he was forced or coaxed to the tiedside of suffering, the skill and. , ^knowledge with which the case was ' ifcneated uniformly added to his fame, •; fend increased the demands upon his .time and efforts. He appears here at 45. . "I solemnly declare," he said one day to a friend, "this ridiculous doc- fr toring business that my good , father compelled me to learn, is getting monotonous. The people really ;• seem to expect me to get up out of a ^ Warm bed of nights to attend to their \ . pilments--and to keep on visiting them L-; 1 till they get well. If you'll believe it, jjsfj, jFw* only dined Out five times in two =weeks! This won't do. Til break up liere to-morrow and go to Saratoga, be- MjyJ ifore I get to be a confirmed drudge. i„ *» Dr. Brett will take care of my cases. fg - * The Lord and he help the poor creatures II though!--but I can't lead this kind of pi,' life any longer. I was made for society, P^V «&nd I am wronging myself and it by • this plodding." Those who were best acquainted with the man would hardly ft j have credited him with force ^ v of character enough to make ffc such a determination--or to execute it when made. But he did; that is, so *&}'> far as fate, circumstances, or what you iff , please, permitted. His bachelor estab- ; !lishment was turned over to the care of r^e Ms competent housekeeper, his trunks |£'. were packed, and 9 o'clock of the next -morning found him on his front steps, A*, waiting impatiently the arrival of the -hack that was to take him to the train. H'.'-: If I were telling a story, instead of ^ wlating plain matters of fact, g£* tliis would be the proper place ^ for flowery comments upon that moment as the turning-point of Dr. Fay's life. As it is, I have merely to tell what occurred. jjw£, A young girl came flying rather than m. naming down the street, her hands . wringing, her beautiful face pale as death. She stopped in front of the doc- tor's steps, and calling liim by name, ||,» Jbesought him with hurried and agitated |C y -speech to come to her father. |Jv . '"Perfectlyimpossible, my child," said Hv ?r* "Ingoing on a journey; here eomes the hack to take me to the pKTi-strain.* f| ; "Do come, sir," she pleaded. "He fell a high ladder, and they've brought 2iim home dreadfully hurt. O, my poor lather!". . * ^ The doctor listened, looked at the Bweet,- agitated face, and was con­ quered. Visions of watering-places, so­ ciety, and lounging disappeared to- gather; the voice of human suffering :could not be resisted. "Get into the :ha.ek with me," he said, "and we will see what can be done." In A few minutes they were in the mean chamber, where the crushed '.and mangled bricklayer lay stunned and 'dying. The girl flung herself down by him and frantically cried to the physi- *<sian to save him. "I can do nothing here, my poor girl," lie said. "Your father is dying." In fact, he died before the doctor left the house. The latter remained long enough to speak a few soothing words to ithe orphan, to slip some money into the hand of one of the neighbors who came into this scene of poverty and dis­ tress, and then entered the hack again. ^To the station ?" asked the driver. --home. I shan't go "to Sara­ toga." The man himself never confided to anybody the whole truth of this matter; out those who knew him best said that it was something besides this sudden thrusting of a black every-day misery *upon him that caused him to alter his purpose. They said that his fancy was captured by the picturesque beauty Of this child of poverty, and his compassion moved by her lonely and helpless con- edition. At all events, he surprised •them all by adopting her, and turning resolutely away from society to the energetic practice of medicine. He seemed sud­ denly transformed; he denied no call for help; he toiled night and day. ' Meanwhile the girl grew up in his i home, under the care of good Mrs.! ; Morris, and Dr. Fay realized a new joy ;; In the sunshine of her presence. But one day the housekeeper made a re- uaark that startled him. ^Gertrude ought to go away to school." "Away to school? Bless me, why?" "Because," said the blunt woman •who had served his mother before Mm, "*a house in which there is nobody but a halting servant, like me, and & musty, silent doctor, like you, is hardly th® place to educate a young lady/ "I never thought ot that, said the doctor, reflectively. But Mrs. Morris had already talked with the girl of the need of some such thing, and she was not only willing, but eager to go. She remained away two years. The doctor wrote frequently to her, and she replied with very dutiful and grate} ul epistles, written in a highly ornamental style of penmanship. When she sent her photograph, at the end of the first year, the doctor looked at it long and often, and Mrs. Morris noticed that he put it in his breast­ pocket. She observed also that ho kept her letters tied up with a blue rib­ bon. When at last the day came for her return, he positively declined all professional calls, and waited for her arrival. So tall had she grown, so perfectly radiant had she become in developed beauty, that the doctor was struck with amazement. He came for­ ward to greet the elegant ladv, and stammered in his address like a school­ boy. He had .determined beforehand that he would kiss her; now he did not dare to offer such a thing; but she put up her face and kissed her protector in the most natural fashion. She was run­ ning over with vivacity and high spir­ its ; she talked, laughed, and sang, witli only a word now an then from Mrs.: Morris; while Dr. Fay, the once brill­ iant conversationalist, did little else but follow with his eyes, and remain dumb. Long after she had retired that night he stayed in the library; and the housekeeper coming in with a letter, found him sitting back in his easy chair, his hands behind his head, and his eyes contemplating the ceiling. "I found it on the floor of the hall, sir," she said. "I can't read the address without my specs. Is it yours?" He took the letter, started as he saw the name and handwriting, and said, "yes, yes--you may leave it." When she had gone he read the letter; the en­ velope had been opened before. He would have condemned such conduct in another; but he could not help it. The letter was addressed to Gertrude; it was signed with a man's name; its contents plainly showed thai the two were be­ trothed lovers. A cruel letter for the reader! I suppose that Dr. Fay was as near being heart-broken as a man ever be-* comes. Nobody knew it from his words, but Mrs. Morris has said that he aged at least,ten years that night. But how the strong, resolute character of the man came out! A sudden, inexplicable passion for this girl had won him from frivolous idleness to the noble career of usefulness that was properly his; dis­ appointment, instead of souring his spirit and breaking his purpose, seemed to add to his earnestness and to increase his devotion to his profession. Gertrude was never allowed to suspect the truth. Mrs. Morris but dimly comprehended it, and maintained a discreet silence. The wedding took place in due time at this house; the doctor's congratulations were uttered heartily, and his generosity gave the young people a promising start in life. For ten years afterward, until his death, he continued to be the Good Sa­ maritan that his love for one woman had made him; and at his decease his will was found to give the bulk of his wealth to Gertrude. If a moral may be per­ mitted, I will add that the grand pas­ sion which has for ages wrought such havoc and ruin--in literature--is really a different and less headstrong thing than it is described. "But," some deader will say, "this was not love." Mrs. Morris thought other­ wise, however, when she found Ger­ trude's photograph beneath the dead man's pillow, and the blue ribbon that had tied her letters twisted round his fingers. "I didn't think Dr. Fay could be so silly," said the good old soul, ae «tfy» wined her eye. Was he silly ? BENJAMIN HARRISON CLETfetAND'8 SUCCESSOR fAKIS THE OATH OF OFFIC1E. , » \S> rn'mmsm BKK Fifty HtWBssnd People Throng H>« Streets of Washington to Witness the Inaugural Kxerclses--Chief JaitJos Vollsr Admfo- lsf«rs the Oath. WASHINGTON, March 4.--Benjamin Har­ rison took the oath of office which made him President of the United States at 12:1ft o'clock noon Monday. Th® ceremony took place on the eastern portico of th® capitol, on which were .gathered thousands of the noted public men of the country. The party stood facing the famous "Peace" monument, which seemed to rim from a black-waved ocean of umbrellas. The people surged into the plaza in front of the capitol, and as the new Prasident raised his hand from the Bible on which he swore to obey and preserve the constitution of the United States, a cheer so intense in its en­ thusiasm that it seemed to make "Peace" wink told the waiting thousands that the formal act of the inauguration had been completed. The artillerymen in the park west of tfie capitol answered the shout with a volley from their guns, and then President Harri­ son began his inaugural address. At its conclusion another volley was fired by the artillery, and at this signal the head of the- the stand, however, was free to the people, and there tiUfjr tWgan to gather lo% be­ fore the lionr set for the inauguration. Po­ sitions on the (tups of the capitol were at a premium, as were also tlie places imme­ diately in Iront of the grand stand. Long before noon the great plaza was filled with men and women, while in the park adjoin ing batteries were in position to boom the announcement of the fact that the new President had taken the oath of office. Still beyond Upon the streets and avenues leading to the capitol the military began to group ready to fail into position In the grand procession which was to escort the new President from the capitol to the White House. A large share of the companies were formed into processions earlier in the day and marched to the capitol grounds, the divi­ sions then being assigned to their positions in such manner that they might take their places in the grand procession after the oath was administered. The thousands of seats which have been erected along the avenue were filled with waiting people who preferred occupying them to make sure of seeing the procession rather than take their chances at the front of the capitol and run the risk of failing to get back to their seats to see the procession pass.

HARRISON. LTJGTJBATION OF PRESIDENT HARRISON. "The depths of the ocean lie fathoms below The surface that sparkles above." Nature's Practice or Rotation. _ It is said that nature practices a rota­ tion of trees, „ and that rarities are not scattered promiscuously among one an­ other, but usually exist in groups, mainly one species, to the practical ex­ clusion of others. In other words, that the undergrowth is not of the same spe­ cies as the larger timber, and that the undergrowth of beech ridges and elm lowlands is mainly maple, and should be preserved to become sugar bushes. Trees of this second generation, grow­ ing up accustomed to.all the vicissitudes of the climate, are more stocky than the first old trees, have longer tops, and appear to sustain no injury from tapping. In the older States the bushes consist of this kind of trees, and give promise to indefinite endurance. It takes quite a long time to raise a sugar bnsh, but it also takes time to raise an orchard of fruit trees. The present generation has been favored by nature, and ought to provide for posterity. Neither does it take so very long a time as might be supposed. In proof of this two instances may be cited: One where trees set out along a place twenty years ago, aud growing ever since in a June grass sod, are nearly large enough for topping; a sec- and one, where thirty-eight years ago ten acres of oak were girdled and left to fall down and rot on the ground, when the wind scattered the little winged seeds among the rotting logs, and to­ day the ground is covered with a dense growth of maples, with scarcely a tree of any other species. The New Department* The elevation of the Agricultural Bureau to the dignity of a department with a seat for its executive head in the President's Cabinet is of far greater im­ portance than may now seem. The bureau of itself has no great significance. But as a vehicle for business that over­ loads other departments the new execu­ tive branch will grow in importance. The Interior Department has far out­ grown proportions compatible with its greatest usefulness, and the General Land Office could very properly be transferred to the Agricultural Depart­ ment. So, too, with the Signal Office, which can be of greater advantage to farmers than any other class. There is also a range of service-'in the State Department that properly falls within the scope of the new department, and that is the system of collecting in­ formation about foreign agricultural methods and operations. This is min­ gled, of course, with a statistical infor­ mation about many other things, but to the farmer it is of the greatest value as determining the prospect of his market. This country could well afford to station a special agricultural agent at every important foreign mission. The inter- State Commerce Commission, which is classified as accessory to the Interior Department, should be related to the Agricultural Department if to any. The Secretary of Agriculture will not hav6 a sinecure.--Washington Star. grand procession swung'into Pennsylvania avenue and began the march past the capi- toL ^ Vice-President Levi P. Morton was ad­ ministered the official oath by President Pro Tem In galls at the bar of the Senate before the inauguration of the President. The sight of the advancing column sent the thousands who thronged the east park flying in all directions. A passage for the military was made through the crowd, and a wild scamper for places from which to view the parade began. The side streets were packed with people, many of whom could get only a glimpse of the flags car­ ried by the paraders on the avenue. 3/M ; EARLY KOBN1NO J8C1NI8. Pouring Rain Scarcely Dampens the Enthusiasm. Washington, which generally deeps late, was astir early. The beating of drums, the sound of bugle and fife, and the march­ ing and counter-marching of arriving teoops were heard all night long and the dawn of day saw Pennsylvania avenue and the (.neighboring streets busy with military and with the preparations for the events of the day. At all the centers there was with the organization of the Senate. At 10 a. m. the Senate and House had named the usual joint committee of notifi­ cation of the President of the readiness of the two4 houses of Congress to adjourn. The joint committee having been commu­ nicated with President Cleveland conveyed his answer to their respective houses that he had no further communications to make. The committee of arrangements then waited upon Mr. Morton, who was in at­ tendance at the Vioe-Presidence's office at the capitol. Having received their notifi­ cation the Vice-President-elect entered the Senate chamber by the main door. His presence having been announced by the door-keeper the Senate arose. President pro tempore Ingalls standing said: "Sena­ tors: The Chair has the pleasure to an­ nounce that the Vic 3-President-elect of the United States is in the Senate chamber and if agreeable to him the Chair will adminis­ ter to him the oath of office." The Vice-President-elect, having advanced to the President's dais, there took the oath prescribed by law, after which he was con­ ducted to a seat at the right of the Presi- pent of the Senate. That retiring officer rising, pronounced his valedictory, at the THE INAUOVBAXi BALL-ROOM. great activity. Hotels were crowded to their utmost limits; so were the apartment- houses and boarding-houses. .In the capitol and^ departments companies of troops of the various States had been given temporary quarters and daylight found the corridors of those great buildings strewn with sleep­ ing men in military uniform. The weather for the inauguration was miserable. Rain was falling all the fore­ noon, and the committee of arrangements at one time contemplated holding the cere­ monies in the Senate chamber, which would have eliminated one of the most interesting features of the day--the administration of the oath to the President-elect in the pres­ ence of the people. As the making wore on the bustle and activity incfilised. The great event of the day was not to take place until high noon, and the huge procession of 50,000 people, military and civic, would not move until near that hour. Yet by 10 o'clock the long line of seats which had been erected up and down Pennsylvania avenue began to be black with people anxious to see the spec­ tacular features of the day. The great mass of people of course were deprived of the privilege of witnessing the event which took pht^e inside the capitol, for but a handful compared with those who are in the city could be giv^i accommodation in the Senate chamber. At the inauguration proper, howeveir, all are permitted to see, provided they can get near enough to the grand stand to do so. At the east front of the capitol a plat­ form covering a half acre or more of ground had been erected and was gay with flags and bunting. On this were seats for a thousand people--Senators, Representa­ tives, the Supreme court, Cabinet, and other government officials, diplomates, and distinguished visitors. Admission to this was obtained only through the capitol, and the entrances to that building were care­ fully guarded to prevent the admission of any save those bearing the proper creden­ tial*. The great plasa at the east of President and the committee of arrange­ ments and attendant body of soldiers, en­ tered the Senate chamber, accompanied by his predecessor and the committee, and was shown to a seat in front of the secre­ tary's deek, the ex-President and member of the committee sitting on his right. The Vice-President then announced from the chair: "The sergeant-at-arms will now execute the order of the Senate relating to the inaugural ceremonies of the President of the United States." The persons in the Senate chamber then proceeded to the plat­ form on the eastern portico of the capitol in the following order: Marshal of the District of Columbia and Marshal of the Supreme court of the United States, ex-Presif' nt Hayes, ex-Vice-Presi­ dent Hamlin, the Supreme court of the United States led by Chief Justice Fuller, the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, the committee of arrangement, the President and President-elect, the Vice-President and the Secretary of State, the members of the Senate, the diplomatic corps, the beads of executive departments, the members of the House of Representatives and Representa­ tives-elect, Governors and ex-Governors of States and others admitted to the floor. Upon reaching the platform on the east­ ern portico the President-elect, Chief Jus­ tice and committee of* arrangements occu­ pied seats on a raised dais. It was still raining and the party had to use umbrel­ las. The others of the distinguished par­ ties present in the Senate occupied seats in the vicinity. Before the stand were thou­ sands of people, filling the spacious plaza east of the capitol and the escorting sol­ diery massed in the rear, the saluting bat­ tery in the park and the participating sol­ diery and civic bodies formed in positions converging upon the plaza ready to swing into column when tbe procession moved from the capitol to the reviewing stand of the President in front of the Executive Mansion. The President, as soon as the arrange­ ments 6n the platform Were completed," turned facingyfhe Chief Justice, in the pres­ ence of thep people; the clerk of the Su­ preme court advancing between held an open Bible, the President resting the palm of his right hand upon the open page and repeating after the Chief Justice the oath prescribed by the constitution. Having finished the new President leaned over and kissed the' sacred book as a symbol of acknowledgment of his great trust in be­ half of the people and their institutions. Chief Justice Fuller then extended his hand in greeting, the Vice-President ad­ vanced and extended the same form of ADVISEES.
