They have, soft voices, and mlwaysispeak as if they had just left off "very solemn music. They smile softly when t they meet you, and-shake hands with yotf '-id a slow deUberate way. They love the ■ooiety U 6^ «u»i^ bir,4s .and; leeches, and «ther sprite^an'd entertaining animals, they fet their clothes brushed every time the dock strikes, and rub their hats with damp towels to made them glisten. -They drink «old water when they rise in the morning, for the^r health, and put oil in their hair ior the good of .trade. They are muoh afraid «f ghosts. ' A man once told me that no 'one erer yet saw tug ghost of ,» doctor, for the moment a dootor. dies all , the other, ghosts .gather •round his ghost, and treat it so badly that it is ashamed to show its face to respectable jpeople it eir^af terwards. He told me that She reason 1 of this ; is because the doctors made nearly all the other ghosts, and ghosts |a» a niost ungrateful class of people. • ' When doctors come into a jparlour or room they bow, and rub one hand over another, an& smile, and bend over you And ask in a whisper, " 9ow are we getting ' on P* ' 4 Then they walk over tothe chimney j{las* and arrange their scarf and hair and - the fold of Jih^r" shirt. After this they turn their^bScks to. the fire, stretch out their to the full length, twist his wrist-bands . * iittle,,smoothß the back of one hand with the palm of the other. All this makes them £00l and collected, and prevents them from Rooking within ten years of their real •ge.; :--'' -■ ■■- ■■"■ , _ '- - ■•'■ '- When doctors come into a•- bed-room, ' jthey smile and talk, about the weather, and the price of mutton.

They forbid that he shall eee any bill, or telegrams in the daily paper, or anything else that would be likely to exjcile or .exasperate, him. Then they take up >pieo.e of papor, and, write a few badly ■pelle4 words, and draw three legged stools, end frying. pans, and regiments of soldiers, and other childish figures upon it, and request to have this sent to the apothecary's. When the apqtheea'ry sees this he says;" Oh bother !" and places it on a file. ; He then' takes a bottle of paraffin oil, and having put /•pinch of -Bait and a; little nutmeg into it, ■penda it home to the sick man.
