A HIGHT EH A DI8SE0TIHG BOOH It la s Rood rnany jcare now since I nt a medical etudes! : my looking riaw telln me that Id a tnoet uopleaunl way In the tnorniBR, !iy rtresliny mmdry psleBe*^ oT wIiHeTaWel <W AK well, ll »*» a pay lime, frivolous perliapn,"hul «e worked a* hard as we played, which is nay log a ■good deal: and though I here may have been a good deal of folly in our livta, 1 tlon'l llenk there was much sin. But lei us come to the point. What I meant to say was Unit, i old and grey as! aai, then- ia one epi- ; sodo in that inrly hoapilml life which dwells with me yet ; there are nights when, the liver lieing probably in a derangetf sliTu, I vfRKo shtKiderlng ami pi-rsplring from it dream of She horror which for aome few momenta went near to unsettle my r anon when I was a atmni; young man. You may care to hear what that I was no weak dreamer, anrh as might easily be moved to terror; on the contrary, I was a singularly robust fellow, about one-and-lweuty. with broad shnuldera. fair browu hair, ami a ruddy face which spike the sanguine temperament tl'at a'iiifc» with me even now. True, I was nervous, but only in the right sense of the work, folks. a« a general rule, being, as Mr. CarMe has liap pily remarked, "mostly fools," seem to think, If -you say that a man is "nervou»," I hat you mean lie Is a toward: \Vtr-rea». you only mean I hat he is a man of exceptional y dclirate organUition. and of extreme BUSceptiblUty, ii|ion strongly than they would do upon one of a phlegmatic torn pern meat. When I Iwcame a slinlenl I went in ami soul for my future profession: and little by little gained a gnat love for H; There seemed to me something awful amfand beautiful in the structure* of our bodily frame, ao undeniable inyawhich asked an expositor; and in that generous youthful ardor which comes to all true men at s- rne period of i their young life. I set myself to master ' the complexities of the human body. It Is needless to tell my readers what sen- ' rations of terror and loathing had to be overcome. Vital suggestions of sentiment called for repression, or how the natural ' man shrank from - some of the ghastly i details of a postmortem. The ruling ! man at thc hospital in those days wan i old Professor I'—: he was not a gi n- : eral favorite, but. for some reason or i other, took a fancy to me. would send I ntc when any delleate operation was i to be done, ask me to execute small eommisslot a for him, and otherwise ihow his liking for the silent young student. 80 at last 1 confided to him, nol without much trembling of the voice, my desire 1 lo puisne my studies when tuber students were nol present, antl in a buret of shy confidence asked him 10 let me go on disaecling at night— he only kept the pass-key of the dissecting-room, aud could forward my plans. Judge my delight when he assented *t once, with a patronising pal of his skinny hand upon Bty ihouliler, and an approving am le lit 1 to freerr'the very marrow of your bonea. Oa Mie wrf same evening I set to work to begiB my analomlcal studies In pti-Dissecting-rooms now arc not what they were iu my young daya; you might almost take a lady iulo them now, and, lave for Ibc unseemly exhibition of "a ' slovenly unhand nunc corpae"or so, there would be little or n&tfctag lo olfend Iter sensibilities. Hut fifty years ago it was a different matter. Ilody. snatching was still iccognixed as a desirable. If slightly Illegitimate branch or trade; anfl when the bod In we p procured they were treated in an unceremonious fashion which would greatly shock modern ideas of propr ety. The dissecting-room in our hospital was situated on one aide of a rather dreary quad' angle; it was a long low chamber, the upper end of which was rather wider tiian Hie rest of Ute apartment, and contained at its west side the only d or of ingress, thc room it-elf running north and sonth. In tula more extended apace were placed pertain tree, ties supporting boards, upon which were deposited such bodies as were newly brought in to aid the pursuit of science. At the south end wa- the general operattable. When 1 6r-t entered this chamber of horrors. I became aware that there had been newly deposited therein five new "auhjccti." but as my own « xperimenta Involved the manipulation ol one formerly provided, I paid but little attention to their grisly prrarnce. My task began, and for some time was pursued with ev. r-lucrcasing interot ; , but in a moment of pause there came a Strang- sound as if somebody had gently pushed at a creaking door. In the intense stillness which prevailed there was something startling about that noiaa which made roe turn round suddenly, as 1 if there were somebody else in the room. Of course there was not; I had the only ' pass- key, and ao Knew that the morocn- ■ tary panic was unreasonable, laughed at myatlf , and fell to my work again. How long I had been diaaectlng I cannot lay, when again that queerer- ak startled me, and this time it Seemed to come definitely from the north end of the room , where lay the lire new bod lee. aq that I almoat • Utvo|un!an|y turned my eye* in tha| di- ■ Hon.

It would have' been almost a comfort If the eyes of the corpse had been rialble. foe then it would have j seemed to assume some personality, and I might have add reload it, and ao. by the Sound of my own voles, have dispelled ' half the terror. But there It stood— vague, white, motlonleaa: a thing to tear J asd flee. Flight was naturally my fl/st

The Struggle to Get Into Sooloty. How amusing and sad it la for an outrider to watch the struggles of these ' e poor women, aiho are ready to lay down : e anything m the price of admission to 1 1- fashionable society. Many young and i 4 pretty women find It easier to know the ! 4 men of the set they wish to enter, than i e it la to meet the ifi-nun. They cuhl- I rate these mm, they entertain them, I they flirt with them and rfik tiicir own domestic happiness for an inVitation lo d some ball or to gain entree to some boose. When the mania to become I >1 fashionable seizes upon a woman, it is worse than a craze for the stage. She ' e stops at nothing to gain ber wish, and - often homo and happiness are wrecked d In the struggle, and hnsbuod and chilli dren sacrificed— to what?

The successful wife must represent to liu-band all the virtues; must be I sympathetic, and at thc same time sensible. She must be bright, entertaining and agreeable at home as well a* abroad 1 and she must know how to preserve silence when it is desirable to hold her tongue, even though she i* ready to . burst with indignation.
