I You know what 1 want to hear. 1 left yon twelve jcars ago a poor man with a struggling, almost Vfholly gra- j ttiilmis practice, a sworn bachelor, and almost a hermit outside of your profes sional duties. 1 find you wealthy, with a charming wile and a popular member of society, and yet your practice is, as before, almost entirely among those who could not fue you if I hey would. From what relative unknown to nie, your own "Did it ever occur to yon, Tom, that there areTomaucea in real life all about us, quite as improbable as those found upon the shelves of the circulating li brary? My experience will convince yon that 1 speak with authority. Twelve years ago we are gotting old, Tom 1 was, as yon any, a poor man, studying hard, living in a stuffy house ip a poor neighborhood, hoping for better times, more profitable practice and a fuller purse. 1 was a bachelor because 1 could offer only poverty to a wife! a hermit because my Btudies were engrossing. In my smhll bouse 1 kept one old woman servant, who cooked for me and kept things tidy. Having no carriage 1 needed no hoy, for Martha could write, and I had a much larger office practice than that nutaidv, "It was lute, one bitter uigbt in Janu ary, wheu 1 was roused by the office bell and the sound of excited voices under luy window. Hastening down 1 found teverul men carrying upon a abutter the unconscious patient 1 was to aid, if pos sible. " 'An old mun, sir, knocked down by runaway horses and run over,' said one of the party, as they geiitly deiKisited their burden npouasofa. 'Badly burted, J'm thinking, doctor, but not dead!' "Badly hurt, indeed, 1 found him, and jnv examination convinced me that any 1 miller motion would- result fatally. Keep him I must, or risk his life by re moval to a hospital. Willi the aseistatiee of two of the men I undressed him and put him into my own bod, noticing thou that be wore no con 'aiiincboJy louk it nil,' they tolil me, Mid upptirniilly huiiicIkxI.v kept it. as it nevpr npiK'Hwl nniii, In tlio trousers jHicketa wero only some trifling iirtides, bunch of kern ami it hundkerchief, but liothiug to give uny olew to the identity of my patient mid uninvited intent.

There weie oomplii.'ittioiiB in the unw that vailed upon nil tny Hkill and knowledge, and the putieut endurance of great suf fering made ine respect my unfortunate guest from the first. "It was nenrlv a fortnight Imfore he recovered from the brain .injury suf - fioiently to )ak distinctly. Wheu the autterer could speak he told ine that his name was l ansiiawe, nut saw limning more of himself, and 1 supposed him un willing .to confess to poverty and the in ability to pay me for my services. ,' "1 do not take much credit to myself for my hospitality or devotion, because i was so deeply interested In the 'case,' Votessionally considered, that I would fve lived on braid and water rather .n have it taken out of my hands. "As he became stronger my patient became my friend, and interested me deeply by the variety and depth of hie information, his experience of travel and charm of conversation. "Not until he was convalescent and had been an inmate of my house for four months did 1 know that he was a man of wealth, living In the home I now oc cupy. "To cure him was beyond human skill, bnt through two years I attended him, alleviating great suffering and often accepting his invitations to 'spend an hour or two with a lonely old man,' "When be died he left me his entire fortune, which I supposed to be mine only because he had no direct heirs or near relatives. He bad never spoken but once of his family, and then said briefly that he was a widower and had lost his only child. "I had enjoyed my Inheritance for more than nine years when I fell in love. I, who had never cared for female so ciety before, became deeply attached to the mother of one of my patients, a lady nearly my own age, the widow of an artist, who died in Rome some four or live yeara before I met her. She had sent for me to see her boy, an only child, slowly dying with an incurable disease If the spine. "Mrs. Eastwell knew before she saw me that there was no hope of saving the child's life, bnt she thought I could ease the pain and restlessness from which he suffered. She was herself an artist, working in water colors for the large stores tliat dealt in fancy goods, and em broidering most exquisitely. But her child claimed much of her time and at tention, and I knew she worked in hours when sheshonld hare shared the boy's slumbers. "Patient, self sacrificing, gentle and refined, she filled my ideal of pure wom anhood, and 1 loved her with all the strength of the first love of years. I gave her a man's devotion, not a boy's infatu ation. But I knew that it was useless for me to sjieak while the child lived. She would have thought it a sacrilege to pVe n,v love consideration while the . , . . Li . IiU)lnyr iove in ner neart was cue nuiug Kpirit. Lov making whik her child was dying! 1 cnnld see how she would shrink fnm the mere suggestion. "Ho I tried to lie content with winning the place of trusted friend, delicately trying to make my presence a comfort nd a help to her, and doing all that 1 cm& to make smoother the hard path the childish feet were pressing, -One afternoon she came to ray office to ask some questions about the little boy, and, as the waiting room was full, I took her through the parlor to the front door. As we passed by the mantle piece of the front room she suddenly gave a cry of pain and surprise, stopping short before a lifesize portrait of Mr. Fanshawe. Her face waa white, her ! .l,nl. f.. tw,..,l,l;,.. nnA I could catch her she gave one cry of 'Father!' and dropped in a dead faint. "It was the old story, Tom. She had loved her husband better than her fa ther, and eloped with him, never win ning forgiveness. The home she had left was broken up, and Mr, Fanshawe removed to another city, so that for years she had not known where to find him, and had never heard of his death. Her husband had taken her abroad soon after their marriage, and she did not know whether her father had ever tried to trace or follow them. "You may imagine how like a thief 1 felt when I cm;!d calmly consider this storv and think of my inheritance 1 living ill luxury and she toiling for bread! And (he money was hers by every cluim of humanity. "At once 1 commenced to arruuge for restoring the projierty to her, and kuow ing her pressing needs instructed my lawyer to supply her with ready money and inform her that as soon as it could be legally done her father's fortune would be restored to her. "Tom, she flatly refused tp take it. She bad offended her father and had ac cepted her punishment, and she would not listen to any proKisnl to accept his money. In vain I urged the justice of her cause, " the burden that money so wrongfully willed away from her would be to m?. She threatened to leave the city and never return if 'I persisted. "While nnlhiug was settled her child died. She grieved as only Ihe mother of an only child can grieve, and yet I think .J comforted her. I dropped all question of the disputed inheritance in those long months, when her loneliness led her to turn to me, her true, loving friend. "And so, Tom, when a year had pass ed, and the little life was a sacred mem ory, no longer a passionate pain to re member, 1 asked her once more to ac cept her father's fortune and his heir with it. "We needed no lawyer then to make the transfer, for 1 won my wife without losing my inheritance." "And there goes that confounded of fice bell!" said Tom rising; "so 1 am off."

Y., says of Bsan- hkith's Paw: " For the past ten years I have been using Bkakiwetr's Pills for self and family. We find them a sovereign remedy for indiges tion and constipation, taking one or two every night for ten days. They are alto admirable Hood purifiers, perfectly harm less but exceedingly effective as a cathartic. 1 tirst used them myself, particularly for biliousness and dvsnetwia. Thev relieved me in two weeks. I cheerfully recommend mem." Candid.

It leuns towards immutable principles and in vulnerable truth, and away from superan nuated authority, organized ignorance and dyed-in-the-wool prejudice, iilind empir icism in medicine has, with other fossilized bivalves, had its day. Yes, there are plenty ot " belated crabs," but being born ol dark ness and fear twin sisters of intellectual ini'aney they cannot much longer with stand the civilizing intluence ol advancing science. They are slowly but surely " dy ing Egypt, dying," before the "search light " 'of investigation. The advancing thinker wonders bow it was possible for thftt monstrosity the medical science ( ?) extant now to have survived to this late day ! But where was the reform to come from? It is not only passe to attempt re form, it is outright dangerous. It requires a boldness ukin to recklessness. Legion is the mime who have tried; they have left their bleaching liones as a warning. An at tempt at reforming theology brands you a " heretic ;'' in politics you are charged with every infamy under the sun, and in medi cine'every duck intellect "quacks" at you and you are accused of having no diploma wheu your diploma is on iile m the court house under the very eyes of the slander ers. All this is caused' by besotted ignor ance, and since books are sent free of charge to every applicant and we pay the postage, there is no excuse for ignorance w ben it coals nothing to be informed. People who berate the Histoirenertc svstem of medicine are either intellectual pariahs incapable of counting nve in succession or unaersiana ing any 2x4 problem, or they are mental sluggards and cannot screw themselves up to the point of information by reading up and tormina a conclusion.
