Presently Obadiab’s Sarah came creeping in With demonstrative quietness, In shoes that Creaked and gown that crackled, to set downa tukling tray by the bedside.

The sun mounted higher and higher, cattle browsed, sheep fattened, buds blossomed, crops grew. Among these the plantage at the Village academy flourished apace. Here lay the datly toil of Mr. Nathan Larkin, assistant pria- cipal, @ sensitive, cousclenuous fellow, of in- demitable will, loving work, and toiling to Eindle in duller brains ata lighter natures his Own enthusiasm and his oyn regolve. The Reverend Edward Granuiss, D.D., Pa.D., LL D., Principal of the Quaboag Seminary, being a gentleman of phlegmatic temperament, mach paiicted to heavy dnners at noonday, was quite willing to let bis esteemed young friend ao most of the pulling of the double team, es- pectaliy through the hard places, though simply for bis own tmprovement, of course. ‘Thus the youth, takinz no rest, spending of his intense persouality with prodigal readiaess, inheriting from bis motuer a set of tense and swift-responding nerves, found hunselt b obce a fortnight or so, by the same fiend, sick headache, which had Gevastated years ot her useful lite, He was young and heroic. Some- times he could grappts with 1€, hold it stti!, and, thus hampered. go through the routine of bts work after a dull fashioa. S.metimes heyielded, undergoing tortures greater than his mother’s, a8 his Imagiuation was more vivid. But, either way, be counted @ month outof eacn year an unredeemed sacriffce to tila Moloch. On this summer day he feit wond« r‘ully alert and alive. The boys thought he made Cwsir and the Anabasis almost inieresifog, with nip vivid sketch of the splendid life of the republic, and his showing up of hoi-headed Cyrus, and cool, cruel, able Artaxerxes, ‘‘iong-memoried” for bis wrongs. Bat in secret he wag much Gisquieted. “For Miss Allls Putnam was to come that afternoon, and he felt that his poor mother would “worry” more than was needful. Not that he had not hisown misgivings. A stropg-minded young womin who had grad- uated first in her class from the medical col- lege, aud walked the hospitals abroad for a year, who had written a prize treati e on some Gisgusting and sanguinary subject, and no doubt practiced vivisection, showtid be, to his thinking, though for quite opposite reasons, ike Wotdswortn’s Lucy, *‘A maid whom there were none to praise, And very few to love.” He fancied he knew how she would look: slight, sandy-complexioned, Mer lighi char- acterless hair very neat and‘wholly untaterest- ing, her dress very upright and uncompromising bout the biases, col and cufis prim and “sweet neglect” about her, nor standing Ben Jonson, he thought ‘most be- wit She was 82 distant a cousin that not made the invitation obligatory. But his mother had dearly loved her mother, and when that gentle widow wrote that her dear Allis had returned, and that she longed to have her ever-beloved Candace know her before she settled down to her profession, the ever- beloved and ever-ovilging Candace ‘replied at once that the young traveler should b3 :.ade welcome. ‘upset Aunt Larkin’s perfect order, nor ‘in 1 her garrison unprovisioned. But she cor !del to ‘Tbanby that she “expected a girl ’t hed lived to Paris would find their way of livin’ dreadful old-fashioned and common.” And he guessed that she secretly dreaded the incursion, as h: | did. Polite be woutd certainly be, bathe Miought he would move his books out to the stable lost, and live as littie a3 poss!bie at home while Dr. Allis remained. He wished women would keep to their own sphere, and let men’s work alone. By the time the two sessions were over, une compositions inspected, alt the school “chores” done, and bis face tuned homeward, he was of these Sinners be reckoned female doctors chiefest. As he opened the kitchen door, Obadiah’s Sarah stood revealed, buxom, red-armed, g20d- natured, carefully straining aromatic proth intoa china bowL “Twas her notion,” sue ex- tained. “I shoulda’s never have teched the Set—Lo, nor mate the soup neither—‘chout that tex’.

How it was brought about neither Aunt ee Pee Cony — Veet ee lah’ whose aration of Indepen- dence had always read that she “wouldn't live out for nobody,” found herself permanently in- stalled in that cool and spotless kitchen within three days of Doctor Allls’s advent. Aunt Larkin having repeated for thirty years that she “didn’t see the senseof havin’ a gir) clutterin’ round to pick up after.” and her son ig accustomed to accept as final whatever domestic views his mother promulgated, re- ceived the new dis) tion with submission on the one part and rejoicing on the other. The doctor's juggage appeared to cousist in great partin “Franklip Square” novels, and the in- finite riches, in @ little room, of the ‘ Half- hour Series.” And when Nathan came home one afternoon to find his mother comfortably rocking in her large chair on tne veranda, deep tn the fortunes of the Greatest Heiress in Eng- land, instead of stirring up pancakes or mak- ing Dutton-holes, he said to himself, “Allis i3 a witch, bless her!” Yes, already {t had gone so far that the unwomanly doctor was “Allis” to him. And at tea this studious young sage, who spent all his letaure in gardeniog among classic roots, announced that as to-morrow woilld be Saturday, he was sure they coula not do ber- ter than to drive over to Bethesda Springs, all of them, and spend an idle day in that great Vanity Fair. But to-morrow it was Nathan’s turn. His head was chatned to his pillow with shackles Of pain. It was seasickness, he said to himself, Without the palsy of the will. It was fever, without the blessed Intervals of un2onsciou3- ness. It was the rack, the thumbscrew, the trou boot. If the faint stirrings of desire might be called hope, he hoped his mother would not eee Tmagaesia, or bring bim the dreaded ‘cup 0° tea.” By-and-by came Dr. Allis, with nolseless Dresence, cool hands, low voice, and potent pre- scription. As the slow hours dragged on, the heaaache yielded grudgingly, trresoiutely, with Spasms of re-asserting power. Next day Nathan was free from pain, but tired out and despon- dent. Sitting in the cool dusk of the honey- suckles, he said, “I'd giva a third of my life, Alls, to buy off these headaches from the rest of it. Sometimes I think they will shut me out from any career whatever. Can’t you cure them, little Galen?” « “NO, Herr Professor, not while you invite them, solicit them. compel them,” “J, Allis?

IMPORTED QUAILS, They are Fluttering Their Wings Now in Two States. Last summer the Cuvier club, of Cincinnatt, turned loose a large number of Messina quail, which, when the cold blasts of last winter came on, spread their wings and took an air ‘ne forthe south. Several communicaitons have been received at the Times-Star office asking whether these birds had ever returned. A Tines-S'ar reporter took the trouble of hunt- ing up Col. L. A. Harris, who, by the way, is one O1 the hardest workers in the Cuvier club, and the query regarding the quali was pro- pounded to him. “Those quail have never returned,” replied the Colonel, “but we have strong hops that they will, for some of them have been sen in New York and Maine.” “Does the club intend to import apy more?” “Oh, yes. We have made arrangements for the importation of 200 more.” “‘When will they arrive here?” “Not before next spring. You see the Mes- sina quailare an Affican bird that cross the Mediterranean Sea to Messina in the fall of the year and there they are captured.

Even the great Aristotle, with his cle Het in nature an his contempt for supersition, could propose n» Vheory which Was Dot & Ussae of gratuitous and ibcorsequent hypotheses. He thought the comet, with Its regular motions, to be a phe. nomenon like the filtting and uncercatn f7nis yotuvs, an exhslation evertheless. even in cometology, w dern pri been so essentially atad by the discovery of gravitation and the in- vention of the telescope, the instinct of the ancient thinkers achieved some memoravie results, Passing by tne researches of the Pythagoreans, we need only refer to the writings of Seneca in the first century of the Christian era, “I know,” writes Seneca, “n9 nobler research, nor a more useful science, than that which undertakes the study of the stars; but to perfect this selenea is ft Mot ex- Pedient to examiue whether the nature of Comets uiffers from that of the other celestial bodies? if we reflect on thelr motions, on thelr vicissitudes of rising and setiing, on thelr ght and briliiancy, we shull pe strack with the analogy which we perceive between them and these other bodies, We need an exact history of tne comets which have hitherto appeared; for it 13 their rarity of appearance which prevents our deciding upon the regularity of their movement. We are ig- ncrant whether, — fixed orbits, they do not reappear at periodic and determinate intervals of time.”” This was the prediction of thoughtful gepius. Modern astronomy, proti:- ing by the ancient suggestion, nas ‘demon- strated this, like many other truths.

Sin- gular as Unis phenomenon may seem it has been actually observed., At midday on the 2s:h of February, 1543, groups of people in many of the towns of New England, especially at Portiaad, collected at the corners of the streets, gazing up toward the sun. Protecting their eyes in the shadows of the houses they saw a brillian object a few degrees from thesun. Such amar velous spectacic had never before been beheld. A few days later @ wonderfully brilliant tall of a comet was seen skirting the horizon soon at- ter suinget and reaching more than one-third of the way round the sky. What we now saw was tall without head, as we bad before seen head aumest destitute of tall, But head and tall were members of the same comet. Ip about two hours the comet of 1543 went Tound the sun, from one side to the other, What could have become of the tail, whica was reach- ibg Out about a hundred millions of miles froin — cow ae breed earth’s orbit?

But no! The comet practi- cally left its tail bebind it and began to grow a rew tall as it receded from the sun. There Were thus two tails, nearly side by site, stretca- ing from opposite sides of the sun in nearly the same direction.
