The Mother's A lie wer.
You have children, and how many ?
Low the mother answered, "Four,"
As she stooped to lift a baby,
Creeping toward her on the floor
While the unshed tears her eyelids
Barely held from dropping o'er.
"Five, I always feel like saying,"
Softly, now, the mother said;
And the tear drops fell, nd glistened
On the baby's yellow head.
"For I think not of my darling
As one lying cold and dead,
"She was such a precious baby
Bright and happy all the day ;
And she slipped from earth to heaven
Went in such a quiet way
Just as if the angels called her
And she could not longer stay.
"Now 1 think of her as growing,
Roth in 6tature and in grace
Filling in God's other kingdom
Just an angel's happy place,
With a look of love and goodness
Lighting up her little face.
'And I think of her as learning
Leesona that the angels teach ;
And I strive to still the yearning,
When my heart for her will reach,
With the thought 'God rules in mercy,
Meeting out the best to each.' "

DR. LAWRENCE.
BY II. COYLE,
HE doctor was certainly not
good looking. He might even
have been called ugly, but that
there is au excellent precept
impressed on all wellcarad for
minds in their nursery stage of
formation, to the effect that no one
may be so offensively described ex
cept it be a certaiu notorious old
gentleman, whose name is not men.
tiooed iu polite society. Let us say,
therefore, that the doctor was plain
iu f ct, a short, fat bald-headed
little man.
He was a physician with a large
nractice. and had accumulated a
considerable fortune. He was ol
middle age, and lived alone in a
great old-fashioned hoase in Madi
son avenue, and was very popular
with all classes, rich and poor alike,
He was very active in all good
works, and was a member of balf
tbe prominent societies and clubs
of tbe metropolis.
When the doctor started out iu
tbe morning, he usually gave his
coachman a list of tbe places he was
to drive to. In this list the coach
man had Been entered for some time
the Dumber of a ceitain house up ol
Eights avenue, and the coachman
treated himself to a sly smtle when
ever he read tbe name on the list.
The doctor had a patient there, of
course, but he went there oltener
and stayed longer than anywhere
else. Ot course tbe patient might
tie iu a more deplorable state, might
stand more in need of protracted
visits than any other t Dr. Law
rence's patieuts; but the coachman
was inclined to tbinc tnat sucu was
not the case.
It was an apartment hotel of the
cheap clast tbat the doctor visited,
and his patient was a retiring sea
captain, John Wilson, and his only
child Alice. The captain was in
feeble health. He did not bear his
suffering very patiently ; he was,
Indeed very peevish and petulant
and hard to please ; he exhibited all
the seltishnesH and want of consid
eration which a long course of ill-
health is apt to develop in any one,
however great may have been their
original stock of equanimity and
good nature. But Captain Wilson
bid not begun with much excellence
ot temper; and now, a confirmed
invalid, it may be Maid of him tbat
he had a very bad temper. He was
attended, however, with a ceaseless
solicitude, an untiiiug affection, bv
his daughter Alice, a slim, fair girl
of uinet-eo, not very remarkable
looking, beyond that she possessed
a sweet pleasant face, a profusion
of glossy brown hair, and a pair of
luminous dove-like eyes.
No wonder bhe was pale. She
was always by tbe side or within
call of her invalid father. She was
seldom absent from bia room.
'Don't go, Alice,7' he would say
sharply;"! may want you." She
could only escape when he was as-
jleep. Awake, he would have her
ever near him, slaving for him
nursing him. Now and then be
would upbraid her bitterly for some
fancied neglect, the poor child
standing by him the while, reply
ing ouly in tearn, caresses, and in
creased exertions for his comfort.
Then he would make her the andis
ence of his repiniogs, tell over and
over again the story ot his euffer-
nH, barstiug out occasionally into
passionate regrets over his ill
beallU aud poveity.
He was poor. The fact was too
often harped and groaned about for
Alice not to be conscious enough o
it. What could she say I What
could she do t
Yet m justice to Dr. Lawrence, it
must bo said that he made no ins
toads on the cantaiu's small income.
: "No, no, my dear,'' he said to Al
ice, on his first visit, putting from
him with a smile the proffered fee,
"it must not be. li must not be
thought of for a moment. My fath
er was cu e a sea captain, and I iii
oist on giving my services to your
father, as a tribute to tbe memory
of miue.,
"Ob, Dr.. Lawrence, how good
you are !"
"Tut, tat, my dear. I shall con
liiue to visit him until, betweeu us,
we've made him quite well again.''
Alice's gratitude seemed to have
no bounds. And, thanks to Frovi
dence and tbe doctoi's medicine
ber father's health- bad certainly
meuded of late. He had not rcold-
id her for nearly three whole days,
and for about a quarter ot an hour
be bad been almost cheerfnl. Inn
deed, she had reason to be gratelul.
The doctor left Alice with a flut
tering sensation aboot his hear t
such as he had never felt before
He visited her father nearly every
day, saying that it was very neces
sary tor him to watch closely tbe
effect of bis prescriptions upon bis
patient. And each time that he
saw Alice and he now felt a curi
ous desire to see her as frequently
as possible he experienced a re
turn of tbat strange, flattering sen
sation in the cardiac region. He
was not alarmed at it ; he did not
think it was disease; and if it was,
not at all disagreeable. Indeed, he
rather liked it. Professionally, he
was inclined to regret it as a new
development of action, quite heal
thy in its nature.
For thi first time he felt the cbo-
83U pursuits of bis life not sutli
ciently attractive or absorbing.
Thoughts of a new kiud broke in
upon his studies, disturbing his
practice. His great house seemed
to him very dreary, his existence
( very desolate. "Who would nurse
and tend me," he asked himslf, "if I
were to be sick like tbe old cap.
tain V 7 Yet he dismissed there
flections suggested by that inquiry
as selfish and nnwrotby. "No," he
said, "I could not chain a young
creature like that to my side only to
be my nurse and my servant. If 1
fall ill which heaven forbid I
must have a trained attendant from
tbe hospital. It is not for such a
reason I should wish to make her
miue."
For it had come to that. He
wished to make Alice his wife.
It was love that was so restless
in his heart. At least, he surmised
that love was tbe disturbing cause
ot his heart's pulsing. He had had
no experience of tbe sort of thing
before ; but still he thought he could
hardly be mistaken. . His disorder
must arise from what people called
"Love."
It got to more than he could bear,
at last, so he plucked np conrage,
aud, in an old-fasbioned, formal
way, he spoke to Captain Wilson
on the subject.
"It shall make no difference to
yon, captain," be said iu conclusion
with an adroit consideration for his
patient's selfishness. "There's plen
ty of room in my house. You must
pitch your tent there- You shall
not be deprived of your daughter
and she and 1 will soon make you
your old self again-"
"I congratulate vou, Alice," said
the captain, when the doctor bad
taken his departure- "You'll accept
him, ot coarse. He's ill-looking I
know ; bat he can't help tbat, and
one gets used to ugliness. And he's
ricb, Alice ; very rich. Thank God,
we shall have no more ot this in
ferual poverty I Will you accept
himt"
"Do you wish it very much, pa
pa !"
Her face was very white, and
there was a sob in her throat as she
spoke.
"Wish it? Of course I do!" he
answered sharply. "You don't ex-
such another chance, do you T is
there any one else in the way T Do
you love some one else f
"No," she auswered softly,
"You'll be a happy woman, with
more money than you'll know what
to do with. And think of the com
fort it will procure for me. Why, I
shall be strong as ever in no time !"
Alico made au excuse to leave
the room; the did uot want him to
fe the tears streaming down hei
face.
The doctor received . a favoiable
answer to his suit. Alice only
I leaded, in a faint voice, that there
ciight be no hurry, giving as a rea-
sou that she wauted her father's
health to improve before she left
Lim, even for a day.
"Certainly, certainly,'' said the
c octor, "Your will is my law."
And then, embarrassed at so unac
customed a performance, he kissed
tor. It Is bard to eay which was
the more blushing and confused, the
k isser or the kissed.
After this tbe doctor was more
than ever at tbe captaiu's. His care
tor his patient was unremitting.;
The doctor's coachman ventnred to
confide to a few of bis friends tbe
rpinion tbat there would, before
long, be a mistress presiding over
the establishment on Madison ave -l
ue.
The doctor was very happy. He
felt that he had only just begun to
live. Perhaps he wished, now and
tben, that Alice would not look so
grave and pale; but then be consol
ed himself with tbe reflection that
i; was best so.
"It would be absurd for me, at
Liy time of life, to marry a romping
s lly girl. I have no right to ex
I ect from her extravagant affection.
I must work for her love, and earn
i!.. In that way I shall surely gain
i at last ; at present it is a little too
I ke gratitude. Time will change
tiat time and my own great love
f r ber. Dear child !"
He was himself a staid, forbearing
lover. Iu this wav be sained tbe
respect aud esteem ot poor Alice.
For ber love he was content to wait,
and labor, and hope.
Like most men of great mental
activity, tbe doctor was always busy
with b's fingers. His abundant vi
tality demonstrated itself in a cer
t.i'n restlessness of body and limb
One day as he sat by Alice, he turn
ed her woikbasket over, strewing
its contents on tbe table, iu a play
frd way.
He took np a carved ivory card
cr.se, and examined it curiously.
"Tnat was a present from Hong
Kong. Is it not beautiful!'' said
Alice.
There was a flash upou her cheek
as she spoke. He had (opened the
card-case, and a photograph fell out.
"Tbat is my cousin, Carl Wilson.
It was he who sant it to me. He is
an agent for a steamship company."
Her voice trembled a little as she
volunteered this information
"Has he been out there long T"
the doctor asked, watching her emo
barrassment, quietly.
"He came home a year ago. He
went there when quite a boy."
"He is quite a good-looking young
fellow !'' and the doctor closed the
card case. Then his eyes fell upon
a packet of letters, carefully tied.
"Those are his letters," said Alice,
avoiding his look of inqoiry. "He
generally writes about twice a
month. Of late, however, be has not
been so regular. I have been ex
pecting a letter for some time," and,
in spite of herself, her voice faltered.
The doctor looked thoaghtfal.
The faltering voice and downcast
eyes did not escape bim. He turn
ed tbe letters over and over in bis
hands.
"I see they are addressed to you,"
he remarked, coldly.
"Would you like to read tbem !"
she asked, simply. "He writes very
amusing letters about his life there.ri
"No, thank you, Alice," and he!
pressed her hand tenderly, as be
nave hack the picket, still untied.
For a moment he had doubted ber,
but her calmness deceived him.
Still, he thought that it was just as
wt'll that Hong Kong was so far
avray.
Abont a week after this the doc
tor, on makiug his unnal morning
viiir, found a young man in the lit
tle sitting-room and he recognized
hi ai at once. Oarl Wilson had ar
rived frem Hong Kong. He had
net written, it appeared, because be
w.s coming m per. -on. The doctor
Wi.s uot especially pleaded to lis
cocer that the photograph hardly
did Carl justice. He was, iu truth,
fa handnomer than he appeared in
bis; carte de visiten tall, broad, mus

ner that was very winning.
Alice seemed very nervous and ill
at ease, avoided her cousin's gaze,
an 1 answered him with yts or no,
as the case might be, although be
foie the doctor had come, she was
gu? enough. Cart surveyed her
w; h surprised eyes, wondering how
be had offended her.
Dr. Lawrence cast searching glan
ce; i ar. tbe cousiu.
'Well, 1 must go," said Carl, sud
do lly. "I have to call at the office
in the city."
'I suppose we shall see you again
scnu,'7 said Alice, ber eyes cast
d0 3TU.
"I suppose so," he answered care
lessly. 'I'm golug your way," said tbe
doctor to tbe young mau. "I will
gi( e you a lift in my brougham."
And they left the house together.
"I'm a fool, that's what I am I''
ex claimed tbe young man, impetu
ously, as they were going down
Broadway.
'How so V1
'I can't expect you, of course, to
understand or sympathize with a
loner's miserable imbecilities," the
yO'iog man went on. "You have
never loved as 1 have. You don't
know what love is, as I know it!"
'Perhaps not," said the doctor,
with perfect composure.
'I must speak out," cried Oarl,
impulsively. "I must tell some one
nv one what I suffer, or I shall
go mad. I understand that you
have been kind to my nncle, so per-
hf.ps you will bear with me. Do
you know why I came home so sod
denly ? Because I loved tbat girl ;
because I could uot live longer
aay from her ; because it seemed
th it, at all costs. 1 must tell ber of
love. What good has come of
it ? You saw how she treated me.
She actually shrank from me."
''Have you loved her long V
"All my life. As a child, years
aril year 8 ago,"
'Did she know that you loved
her I Was there au understanding
v. "
"No, no ; she was but a child. I
have never told her.
"i am a fool a weak fool to
talk like this to a stranger,' he said,
presently,recovering himself. "What
must you think of me ! What is all
this to you! What can you know
or care? Nothing, of course not;
nothing !"
"Nothing, of course not; nothing!"
echoed the doctor, bitterly.
At the junction of Wall street,
Carl left the carriage, and tbe doc
tor, after be had finished his busi
ness, returned at once to Eighth av
enue. As he entered the little sitting
room, with the caatious and noise
les3 tread of a man well-used to
sick chambers, he heard a faint,
moaning sound.
Alice, with tearful eyes, was read
ing over once again ber cousin's
letters was contemplating once
more tbe photograph contained In
tbe ivory card cas?. She started np
with a cry, as tbe doctor laid his
har d gently on ber arm.
Forgive me !" she cried. 4'T I
am going to destroy to burn these."
And then, hardly knowing what he
did, she was sinking at the doctor's
tee', bat be raised ber up firmly bat
gectly.
"Calm yourself, child," he said.
She made an effort to throw tbe
letters into tbe fire place, but her
cooraee or ber sireogin tailed ber,
and she burst into a paasiouate flood
of tears.
"Mercy, have mercy 1" she moan
ed.
"My dear Alice," be said, gently.
"do not be afraid of me. I would
not harm you for the world. Calm
yourself. Why, you are ill ; your
pulse is beating faster than I ctu
count. Give me a sheet of paper,
and I will write a prescriptiou at
once. Hut mind, you mast obey my
instructions to the letter." He
wrote a few lines, and then passed
the paper to her. "Read it, child."
Alice glanced at the paper, ex
pecting to find the usual medical
hieroglyphics She started. To her
amazement it was wi itteu in Eug
lish, being the first and only pre
scriptiou the doctor had ever writ

"Hut bow do I know that he loves

"He does, and deaily, for he told
me so. He will be here to-night.
You need not speak ; only let him

"But my father will never con

"He shall consent. I'll take care
of that. My dear child, I am, as
you know, alone in the wot Id, aud I

"No, no!" cried Alice, embracing
bim. Sbe could not speak, but tbe
doctor understood. lie kisstd herou
th9 forehead as a lather might. She
put up her lips to him, but he didn't,
or wouldn't, see what she meant.
He left the house soou after, in
order to seek out Can's liotel and
explaiu matters to the ouug luver.
The doctor felt very sad for a time,
ard yet he was comforted by the
thought tbat he had done the right
thing.
The doctor was "best man'' at tfo
