The individual who was so cruelly punishing his nnodonding bolster was In Hadgely, Doctor of Medicine, and the cause of his furious mood lay in the following circumstances: xllrmmi’:x‘l W to ,< l W ‘mi’-J -rn oor.1.r.oa naornj.-"mount: 5 Ithad long been his ambition to olltain a pro- fessorship in one of those colleges vi hicll were, and boost of the city where he resided ; and now, just as this wish appeared to be on the Doctor Henry W.

His only resource, therefore, was to go home, and feigning his bolster to be the person of Professor Everholme, indict upon it the condlgn car 1367, by Pam: l.I‘.a.ri:, in the Clerk’!

While he was still thus engaged the room door opened, and a lwdy entered whose costume showed that she had just returned from a walk.

Hadgely left the house, and when his wife saw him re-enter, it was with a grin on his face that would have done credit toliiephistopholes. “ Well," said he, “ I’ve been to the college, and had a talk with the professor.” “Did you see Doctor Everholme 't” -- Yes,. and began by admitting that I had ecn a ten-inc sinner, indeed, until very lately, but I had just been converted to rshgion and thought old Doctor Millward looked rather du- bious, but Everhol1ne's a simple fool after .11, Ind w s soon convinced.
