THE TIVI . PATIENTS.
IN '11: I) PAW; :4. -PART
The doctor had ur,d,• I,,ig round: ho was tired to ,
death; and the wor-t ofilit, matter was, that all these
foolish patients bad real maladies; not the imaginary;
fantastical complaint. of the rich who are ill hem's;
they have leisui e„ but the positive. substantial maladies
of the poor
Now, as these tronlilesinne patients were really afflic
ted' with the long catalogue of ills that flesh is hair to.
and as our young doctor was very foolishly unlike a great
ninny of his wiser brethiesi, ho felt [those' unable to miss
them, or forgot them, or cut them altogether; and as one
disagreeable m.nseqiunice generally comes.preity closely
'oil the heals of another, it of course came to pass that. as
all his patients were poor, the doctor himself was not
very rich; and thus again it followed that he was obliged
to resort to that primitive mode of conveying himself
about, the fashion of which was first set by Adam—we
mean that the doctor, not being ablelo afford a carriage.
or a cab, or a stanhope, or a tilbury. was obliged, to car
ry himself. •
Now. on the morning in question. the doctor had car
ried himself till he was thoroughly tired of his burden.
and he came home weary and worn; and though not
complaining, just within a few degrees of the danger of
doing so.
"Two new patients, sir, that want you directly." said
the doctor's assistant.
"Will not to-morrow morning do?" asked the young
doctor. as he looked at his own arm-chair by 4he fire. end
that fire a goof) one. his slippers most invitingly ready
for his feet, the table spread for his diunet —••Will not
to-morrow morning do?"
' "I believe not, sir—they seemed urgent."
"put if the people only scratch a finger! or happen to
sneeze, the doctor meet tome on his peril. without a mo-
ment's delay. Did you tusk what was the matter?"
"The lady has a fever, sir; and the man:"
"The lady and the man—oh! then the lady is a lady,
and the man is only a man. Ab. I understand; they
are of different conditions."
- "You could leave the man till to-morrow. Od,"
••COuldll—and suppose he should die to-night?"
Now, though our doctor had.fairly and, honestly earn
ed a right to a little rest, having most thoroughly tired
himself In his vocation, the foolish sort of!. conscience of
which we have eheedy spoken es timing one of the
component partsof his character. would not allow him to
discard his boots, or plunge into the comfort of hie easy
chair; so breaking off a corner of a crust,-end giving one
last longing. litigating look to his cheerful fire, he 'sum
moned up ail his resolution, and once more ventured into
the rain and the mud. .
The dotter made his nearest patient his first; it hap
pened to be the tally.
The evening was darkening, and the' gas growing
brighter, when our doctor lifted the knocker to a sort of
shabby genteel house in one of those ambiguous streets
of which it is impossibte d t'o'say whether they are within
or without the pale of iolfie toleration; the difficulty ari
sing from their standing juat'on the line where gentility
ends and vulgarity begins. and beim& in fact, the worst
of the best, or the best of the wont, nobody being able to
decide whisk, eaeopting.the inhabiiants, and they can
give a positive opinion, because they know that the street,
wherever it may happen to stand, is second only to Gros
venor Square. Our doctor's soinmona was answered by
a maid of the same nondescript character. The inside
el tbs house was in exact keeping with its external court
teinance; the'farniture and arrangements being all' of a
similar class of shabby gentility, and our hero saw at a
glance that it was '•Lodgings to Let."
The oporLineut into which he wim where& looked ant
finkntly uncomfortable; there were marks in the fire
place that there had once beim a fire, but it might have
been a week ago. for any symptoms which appeared to
the contrary. Our doctor felt the gloom of thee / place;

'eerie was still more desolate. A faint, untrimmed lamp,
burning low In its socket. emitted flickering flashes of
light use: the oatmeat, jistaufficierd to.show a woman
i n th e tnld i lip of life, burning with fever, anti riving with
delirium, lying on a bed; and a girl; the perfect, image
of fear and misery; weeping over her.
The doctor eat down by the side of that solitary bed.

and proceeded to speak of hope and comfort; and the
young nurse dried her tears. and listened to his words as
If they had been syllobled by au angel.
"You are not alone?" asked the doctor.
"Yes." replied the girl. with a sorrowful shake of the
bead. '
'`lt is not fit you should continue so. Had you not bet

Fresh tears same in the young girl's eyes es site an

"We have been here only a month."
"And have you really no' connections in town?"
"No; mamma came on law business."
"And are you sole nurse" '
"We are alone." replied the girl. "alone in the

the objection.
"You will not be able to endure much more fatigue,",
said the doctor, looking on her flushed cheeks, her blood•
shot eyes, and her evident exhaustion.
"Yes, I can endure anything; you have strengthened
me with hope,"
"But to-night will be an anxious night—a crisis n
this disorder; and, in the midst of feier and delirium, I
am obliged to warn you—it is not right that you - should
be left unsupported."
"You know that she will die!" exclairind the girl;
and, In a paroxysm of frantic grief, she threw herself
upon her knee, by the bed-side, hiding her face in its
futile, and clutching handfuls of its drapery in her; con
vulsive grasp.
"I have already Old you," said the doctor. "that I do
not know it. that Ido not even think it; but certainly
something better then tho indulgence of a childish Isar
row is imperatively called for."
The girl rose tip again with an offended air, notwith
standing her grief. shall do all that I can do." -
"And I shall do the same," replied the doctor.
Our doctor went from that shabby genteel house; loons
of much less doubtful aspect: it ivas so thoroughly and
perfectly miserable that no one in his senses could shut
his eyes on its wretchedness and desolation.
It was not quite dark, and the streets were like the
black sea. perfectly fluid with mire and mud. Not a light
glimmered in the obscure court into which the doctor
entered, for the commissioners of lighting and paving left
the one to the moon and the other to the mud, and as the
moon happened to be absent on other duty, it required
some courage and perseverance on Mr. sendrick•a part
to steer himself into the farthest extremity of the court,
and up three pair of stairs into a back attic. where be at
length found his patient.
Alaet ata.,t .hot tuulina ammo should be tho avenues
of so much miser•. , Not a nerve of this corporeal
frame but opens a channel to suffering—not an atom that
may not vibrate with agony!
Very drenry and desdlate was the miserable chamber—
the fitting scene for human suffering. Not a spark of fire
to lighten the aspect of its squalid poverty; a deal table.
a chair with broken spindles and a worn•out rush bottom,
and a truckle bed, were all its garniture; and on that bed
wee lying the second patient.'
Ouidoctor drew the rickety chair close to him and Sat
down. A wretched rushliglit made darkness visible. and
cast its pale tight on the features of the miserable man;
he use cadaverous and attenuated; his features almost
incredibly sharp and thin; a pair of wild buellided eyes,
deep sunken in their sockets. shot out fierce glances of
anger and suspicion; lowering, shaggy eyebrows, a bald
forehead, and a few white locks on either side, completed
the picture: The osprosaion of his counteuace was that
of distrust, end,fenr and fretfulness.
•'And who are'you?" exclaimed the sick man e starting
fiercely as the doctor took his' station by his bedside;
'• Who are you?"

the doctor in soothing tones.

"You mutt not be so sure of thst. It is worth the trial,"

want no doctors! they kill more than they core. Don't

"Better out of the way," grumibled the impat i ent pa.

"Have you tried them?" asked the doctor.
"No. nor intend it."
"Then you condemn in ignorance; a wise man ought

"Hark ye. air!" exclaimed the aickman Falling him*

(Part 4 next week.)
Otter of noses.
Newspaper readers have no doubt wondered w,hy the
small vial of Atar GM, or Otter of Roses, purloined from
the •Patent office, should be esteemed of such value. It
is esteemed in the East "more precious than gold," and
is made chiefly in Persia. Turkey and Egypt. The fol
lowing brief account of it may not be uninteresting t.t the
present lima:
The usual method of =kWh it is, to gather the rose
with their calyxes. and put them into a still with nearly
double their weight of pure spring water; which, when
sufficiently &tilled, will be highly scented with roses;
this is then poured into shallow vessels and exposed 'to
the nocturnal air. 'Next morning, the Ater. , or essential
oil of the flowers is found swimming in small congealed
particles on th'e surface of the water; it is carefully. collec
ted and preserved in small glass bon, s.i A. hundred
pounds of the flowers scarcely afford in India limy drachms
of the essential oil. "Cent lima palates ties noses," says
a French chemist, "n'enfournissenet par la • distagtion,
gue giraffe drachms." Tachenius from the same quart
tity obtained half an ounce, and Hoffman a much larger
proportion. The trials of other chemists have boon nt•
tended with emriou• roattlts. It is most difficult to pro
cure the genuine Otter of Roses, since even in the coun
tries where it is made, the distillers are tempted to put
sandal wood, scented grasses and other oily plants, into
the still with the roses, which alter their perfume, and
debase the value of the Ater; cider is no test of genuine
ness; green, anther, and light red or pink. The hues
of the teal Otter, are also those of", the adulterated: the
presettee of sandal wood may ha detected by the simple
sense of smelling; but in order to discover the union of
a grosser oil with the essential, drop a little Otter on a
poice of clean writing paper, and hold it to the fire; if the
article is genuine. it will evaporate without leaving a
mark on the paper. so etherial is the essential oil of ro
ses; if othinwise, a grease spot will declare the imposition.
I need scarcely expatiate upon the delicate and tong.con
tinned fragrance which thisiusuriant perfume imparts to
all things with which it comes in contact; it is peculiarly'

"Why." replied the clergyman. I generally take what

"Yes. how much dciyou as. I say?" repeated the bap.

We will now look to the left of the chief-justice. The
first is Justice Wayne, from Georgia, formerly a Member
of Congress from that State, and a very warm personal
and political friend of Secretary Forsyth. Ile is an: ex
ceedingly handsome Wen—about five feet too inches
high, of stout bat graceful figure. caddy complexion, fine
teeth, and clustering, wavy hair, now mingled with gray;
very courteous in manner, and with a tone of refinement
in his elocution and address that is very pleasing. Ile
has cultivated the gracee,ata has rffined (it is said not
without success) to he in favor pith the ladiet. He has
an ingenious, copious naiad--is fluent and rapid In ex
pression, but lacks conciseness, lucid arrangement and
vigor. He is, however, by no means deficient in learn
ing, even of a technical character.
Next to him is Judge Nelson, a man ethandscime fee

He possesses much good sense, and is ati excellent low -
'yes. , appeehepsion Is not rapid. but he thinks elssrly
and reasons strongly. Ho is probably the best commer;
clatlawy,er on the bench, thanks to his New-York
odu-
Cation. Since bib elevation to his preseitt place Inf, has
shown an unusual degree of energy and industry; alO is
evidently working for a reputation. lie is not suspected
of ulterior political views, and his integrity and indepen
dence are not doubled.
Judge McKinley, of Alabama, is not hare. He is in
New Orleans, holding his circuit there, nod principally
with a view to attend to the trial of Mrs. Gaines' cases.
Judge Grier, of Pennsylvania, has a large, broad form.

his descent. [More probably Scotch. .Ed. Tribune. ] llis voice Is very curious; he reads in a low, rapist mo

lion, Chas. H. Carroll, of Livingston county, New-York-
Ho Is a model of what a clerk should be—neat, prompt.
assiduous and courteous, and is in every respect an hon
orable and accomplished gentleman.
On the left-hand side we find the desk of Mr. Wal
lach. tho youthful marshal of the district. Ho is very at-•
tentive to visitors of the court; takes care .of the ladies
who drop in, and provides them with seats, and Is ever
ready to extend kind attentions to all strangers.
' The attorney-geoertal has a separate desk in the court
room. and an adjoining office. Mr. Reverdy Johnson

a learned lawyer and able reasoner. There is a great

and mode of speaking. lie is of good stature, erect and
strong. but powerful figura strongly marked features. and
wills no softness of speech or manner. His style of ,rea
soning is clear nud strong, but diffuse.
I will allude to but one other officer of the court—its
oldest counsellor in attendance, and a most able and dis
tinguished lawyer--Gen t Walter Jones, the rival of
Pinckney. and Wirt, and Webiter, and other leading
counsel in put days. As 'common-law counsellor. he.
excelled them all in depth and variety of learning! Ile
has received enormous fees inlormer times..and has had
several large legacies, but is now without fortune. and
still engaged in practice, although he must be more than
seventy years old. He speaks slowly and in a low tone.
but with great purity of diction and clearness of thought.
There is, however, a great want, of force in his manner,
and few listen to him'. Some years ago a citizen of Ohio,
after being in court during an argument of General Jones,
said to one of his acquaintance that he had witnessed
that day the greatest curiosity which had ever met hie
observation: hp had heard is man talk for two hours_ in
his slurp! Tho appearance and dress of this distinguish
ed and worthy geinleman are most peculiar, but it tvould
be hardly fair' describe them. He is universaly re
spected, and; by,those who know him, warmly beloied.
Such are the men who compose this elevated tribunal.
As men and jurists they are respectable, but not of the
lofty and commanding character that will be expected in
such a station!' Every one of them has been selected for
political reasons—and some of them certainly would
never have been' hosen by a popular vote. What abour

The construction of railroads has wrought a great
change, not only in the mode of traveling, but in the
character of the people who make use of them. This
change is particularly visible in New England, owing to
the fact that our people very generally travel. by railroad.
