But I do assure you, sir, that there's a good deal of chance to do that kind of work in this town, an' if there had been any of it done when I was a boy, I don't believe I'd ever have got into the penitentiary." Just then Dr.Brice, one of the village physicians, dropped into the shop, and the minister, somewhat confused, arose, and said,-- "Well, Mr.Kimper, I am very much obliged to you for your views.

"Sam," said Dr.Brice, who was a slight, nervous, excitable man, "I'm not your regular medical attendant, and I don't know that it's any of my business, but I've come in here in a friendly way to say to you that, if all I hear about your working all day and most of the night too, is true, you are going to break down.

You can't stand it, my boy: human nature isn't made in that way.

You have got a wife and family, and you seem to be trying real hard to take care of them.
