Among these was Dr. JenKihS. The Doc tor was an odd character in his ' walk arid conyer^atipn,' I mean his moral, and not his locomotive '.walk,' although the latter .was odd enpugh-too\;''—•Snd he-was^bpsides, one of ( the richest, men in the counlry ; for he wqs reputed so knowing in his professiQnj-] that every body hai faith in bis prescriptions,'' and great cures were effected byjhem, even when his pills contninedlfttle else than wheat flour and .cherry bark. — ^AVv=averQ = ==thc =failing^Qf the Doctorf-hutl. among them was overweening fondness,for-' th^ fair sex. This, ho,\veter, is neither 'here nor'th^re,' as the .saying is ; for it has noth ing to do with the pr_esent stpry ; and I only allude to it now, to suggest the inference,, that .inmn/if tlis ladies may have reciproca- (ed \by on equal fondness for him ; of which, in fact, it ^was said there were living eviden ces, that scandal could point Its finger at, i f it chose to do so. Together with other distinctions in his'pro- fession, the doctor was accounted the great est anatomist in that section of the State,; and he had an out lot just rnjrthqf tho-village, on which he had erected a strange lopking building with an iron hound door, and sky lights—the whole a most mysterious edifice. VVhat this building waB *forrevery body knew well enough ; but they.all lopked grave when they spoke of it.iand told long stories of the lime ' when black Tom was hung for killing his master's .wife's aunt Polly, and stealing all her money;'~ for the truth was, reader, that Tom had been' dissected in that very building, and his skeleton waa kepi in a fix ture of the doctor's shop for many a day thereafter.

' We should like it of all things !' broke in the students. * Well, gentlemen^, if you really desire an adventure of that kind, said the, doctor^ My two About the time of which I write,it happen ed that a poor fellow—Aftie Jim Davis—wl o had no relatives in the town, fell into the millvdanv one evening, Avhen iselting_a.net.tfl.r fislvandiwas.drowned; The. next' day the dam was/dfawn, the-body recovered, and a decent burial given to it : and most of the good people bf Fairview wero fast becoming oblrviousr of his fate. But not* so with the| worthy Doctor. He had (wo stndents, and the body of the drowned man, i f it could be procured, would bo-operfect wind-J'all'in aidJ of their studies. 'Ah,'thought the Doctor, ' little do the uninitiated know of the neces' sities of our science.' Dr. Jenkins had a house—the best in the village; 'and he had wino in his cellar—r good old wine—and brandy of approved ex* cellence. He had his dining-room well fur nished too—lot$ of china ware in the side board, nnd of glass ware on iu Few equals had that dining room'in Fairview. Could'nt Dr. Jenkins invite a few young men to spend an evening with him—that evening-in particular, on •which Jim Davis had been buried ?

YOU needn't explain. A nod's as good as a wink to a. blind horse, you. know doctor—eh ? and. ice see double—don't we ? Ha ! hn ! ha ! - And the whole company chorussed this despefate joke; while one of the students quietly suggested to the doctor'the propriety of 'hooking' a bier for the occasion, from \Enoch - SlImr^vho 1 -*mbTaced :in- i hi'5 jt singlF person the chatacter of-cabinet maker and undertaker of the villnge. ' It is on excellent idea,' said the doctor, 'and fully justified b'/ the wants of medical science.' Accordingly, the scheme was discussed with great \freedom—the necessity of the step fally admitted—its propnetyju»tified— una arrangements made to carry it into exe cution. The doctor was to proceed with his instruments and a trusty servant to the smnil l .biiilrlin g i n ih n no t .lot, nnd there prrpnrp fi fire, lights,, and so on ; while the rest of the pnrty were to, exhume the body, nnd trans port him there on Enoch Slim's bier. These arrangements were irrpuft carried into effect; for jhe doctor repaired to his lonely edifice, and the others took their way\ to the grave yard. There's the timber.' said Charley • Patter- son. as the spade touched the coffin -lid, ' but speak now, any ot you, or -he'll turnover! were the good people of Fairview astonished when Enoch Slim's bier was found in the al ley next morning, the legs about a foot deep in the mud, and Jim Davis's body fn a stable across the*trlley from J)r.

As it was a good long walk from the grave yard to-the doctor's 'temple of science'—-they —and as the whole town was doubtless sound asleep, the party' decided to take theu'r way through .the dark alley which ran past the doctor's garden, and which would thus afford them an opportunity to taste his liquors again Thpir ntanrhpnt faculties havinrr been atim,p.
