Ma. EDlTolL—Sinco my let= home I have been frequently called upon to relieve the sick, and have done so cheerfully when the patient was pour and the service a char .ty. My time, however, became so much taxed by a class of invalids who were quite able to compensate me for my services, that tumid it necessaty to put on the Immo+s of labor, and go regularly to work with a will. It is now probable, since so many are seeking health at my hands, that my ..tay at home will be somewhat inure pr, - longed than originally contemplated. Those therefore, who may desire my services, may commit me, until further notice be given, at he residence t.f my mother on Fourth street, Columbia. Pat. The people in whose services I am en gaged, may feel on interest in knowing some of nay method 4d teeming ,11-ca-e, al, the success which attends illy practice; and this is one reason for addressing them. To give them an intelligent apprehension of the subject, I would say, that toy theory for the origin of disease is as essentially different from that of any pathological writers known to me in any of the popular schools of med ical science, as cause and effect are from each other; and its truth or falsity must he determined by the facts of cures or failures. To this test tribun I, only, will I submit the case fur judgement; fur facts are the basis of philosophy, and philosophy but facts seen in their right relation to the producing causes. Writers have labored assiduously to re Wee the practice of medicine to the conditions of an exact science, and hare produced volume after volume upon ovary subject connected therewith, until we have a medical literature as VOill Milli/US, and an most instances as worthl .55 too, as the records of the "Sacred Vedas." Symptoms of disease, have heel, ca efii Ily grouped and classified under a gr,,- tesque and obscure naineocht u re, and cer tain vegetable and mineral drugs have been mar-hailed to stand as antagonists to these symptoms; and yet, De,tth is ever bust :,m ing all ages, sexes and conditions of life, wane in his fell work the sinitruments of fe ver, a heinnatism, consumeti,in, dropsy and kindred disorders, with its unneh impunity .as if :wiener.

Jie licine may be used beneficially by the intuitive physi cian, but thefollnwersof G lien, .11thnononn, Thompson or Dickinson, can nu more be re lied on in their adinitistrntion, than can be the strength of n blind titan to rescue him self front the intricate paths of a wilderness, or the miry sands of a morass. In making this declaration I wish not to detract from the merits of their systems of practice, as is evinced in the sciences of anatomy, surg ery, chemistry and physiolegy , but simp ly to state, that not having traced out the true origin of disease, their pathology is wrong, and hence their practice is the sheerest guess work, and the rankest empiricism. I am not going to preach to the public, but as "a priest of the holy fla.ne of life," I must speak truthfully of man as I find him. To me lie presents a dual organization— Spirit and Body. The body is the house in which the spirit lives, and the spirit is the intelligent artisan and architect, that con structs, repairs and beautifies the tenement, by nice adjustments and facile appropria tions of chemistry in matter. In health, this temple, fitted ° for a god to dwell in, is brilliantly illuminated by a million blazing intelligences, while intuitions, and love, and beauty, and harmony fill its imperial cham bers with never ceasing praise to God ineffa ble, 01 man's body is no vile dust, •.• I rI•il \ OWN ...11.11 , . o• v.

You "_Assured ¢n3 hmetut to the :he InEnite:' , When these indwelling principles of life are disturbed, and the laws which regulate their harmony violated, the dissonance of life's "billowy music," constitutes the u idition of di , eord, called discaec. It will thus he seen that Disease and Health are cm:W arm. not objeclx; that harmony in the indwel ling spirit of men is health, and its opposite condition, discord, is disease, and that the lat ter must necessarily have its origin in the disturbance of the spiritual or vital forces of min's nature. Hence all diseases have a litzitarp origin, and that origin is in his spir itual not the physical part of his nature, ac we have been taught. Advanced minds have already admitted this as the true pathology of di-ease, and have consequently lost much confidcm a in the efficiency of mineral and vegetable drugs to restore health. It is equally cle it that a vast majority of the chronic diseases, or local disturbances of the vital element, which, in effect. we see every day around us, are super-induced hypoisons introduced into the system under the directions of physi cians, disguised under the name of Medi cine. Such minds are daily turning from ancient errors. and arc breaking Me moulds in which they irerc cast Thinkers have turn ed iconoclasts, find now 1v0r...10p only nt the shrine of an inspired and truth-loving Eclec tic is,o, The wrong doer, or bigoted de otee, only. are found at the foot of these idols shum.ing the light id* the, new Day for the Cimmerian gloom of the olden Night. But Int as turn from theories to fuels, for thew: are the ha es or the only philosophy that prudent minds will incept.

FITTING FOR A PORTRAIT $1.50 PER YEAR INADVACE; $2,00 IF NOT IN ADVANCE "So?" asked the docile and pretty lira. Beauchamp, whose portrait was slowly taking shape on the canvass. "Charming," said the painter, sweeping a bald lino down the hair. Nothing could be prettier than the young widow, whose features he .vas intently pe rusing, while her affianced second husband was wearily perusing the Times, trying to extract mental nutriment from offers of de sireable family mansions, self-acting boot jacks, and articles of common use and un common names; occasionally interested by the appeal to a runaway husband, who was earnestly implored to return to his disconso late family and duns; but feeling. on the whole, a languid interest in the ninety-six columns of intormution. Mr. Smithe Brigge, the gentleman in question, was an ornament to the Corn Exchange, but his views of art were not lofty, and his interest in this por trait of his "intended" simply showed itself in a not unreasonable impatience to see it finished. In vain his friend, the painter, tried to rouse "a noble enthusiasm." It wouldn't do. Briggs was not enthusiastic— and he wanted to get married. Until the portrait was finished, the marriage was not to take place. Mrs. Beauchamp had said so; and what Mrs. Beauchamp said, she meant. Now I don't know whether you agree with Briggs—(l do)—that sitting by, while a portrait is being taken, is one of the least flattering and exhilarating of positions.— You are so obviously pl tying dummy. It is not your noble features that are being contemplated; and if you are jealously disposed, it is not very pleasant to sit by and see another man scrutinizing the features which you regard as peculiarly your own. Suppose you not to be of a jealous disposi tion, the situation then becomes simply fatiguing. You feel that you are outside the real business and interest of the scene. You are "playing propriety," and perhaps both the others wish you away. Briggs was not jealous, but he was bored. lie had made some novel observations res pecting the weather, and foreign affairs, sprinkled with personal details as to the purchases ho had male, or intended to make; he had read the 2iines; and he had for the fifteenth time looked nt all the paintings, sketches, casts, and odds and ends, in the atelier: and now there seemed nothing left to do, until Rakit suggested that he should step up stairs and see his sister. "Is your sister at home?" said Briggs, eagerly catching at the offered relief.— "Then I'll step up. Meanwhile, old fellow, do be a+ quick as you can. Let it be a speaking likeness, but never mind about chiaroscuro, and all that, you know." "Ile's dreadfully bored," laughed the widow as Briggs left tie atelier. ••(v he jealeu. , :" "Jealon.? -Why * your head a riffle more this way * *he doom% seem to like my having. to look at you so intently.

There was a p.tuse. Lie felt that he had said too much, so he begau vigorously paint ing. Charles Rackit was not an R. A., not even an A. It. A.; but he NV tVi a painter of fervid genius, I have been told (by himself); and he was, I observed, a man of flighty imagination, and not very se late habits.— Ho wore T. ery long hair, and took extremely long credit. Bills he considered to be "proofs of the egotism of our ago." He was generally eloquent on "our age," speaking as if be were intimately acquainted with other ages; and complained loudly of the "prosaisms of the day," which robbed life of its romance. In an unguarded moment I once asked him whether romance were really iudespensible to existence? A look tyros his reply. Ho liked me, though ho said I was "ut terly respectable;" and I liked him, though I could have wished to see him less unsettled, as I once remarked. "Unsettled?" ho replied. "It is true lam unsettled; so ie the eagle!" It is not clear to me how the habits of eagles could servo as exemplars to portrait painters. "The pnlype," be continued, dashing the long hair back from his face—"the polype is settled. Go and admire it. There it is, fixed fur ever to its bit of rock,passise amid the noble tumult of life." As I knew nothing of the domestic econo my of polypes, and had but the dimmest perception of what bearing they could have on the present question, beyond the very obvious proposition that be, Rackit, was not a polype, I was sawn. lie fancied he bad answered me. Raving given this glimpse of the painter, let us return to his atelier, and the scene which is being acted there. Ile is still painting silently, and feeling every moment his embarrassment increase; but observing that Mrs. Beauchamp seems quite calm, he re:Aimed the interrupted conversation. •"I said that it was mechanical work, in geiralo, painting the portraits of ordinary [WHOLE NUMBER 1,617. people. But the soul has its sympathies— its floor instincts," Not distinctly comprehending the full sig nificance of this proposition, Mrs. Beau champ merely smiled, and said. "Oh yes." lie quitted the easel, and said. as he ap proached her, "Your shoulder is a little tco advanced: your hand should be here." He took her hand; but instead of placing it in the eminently desirable position, ho held it lingeringly in his. "There," she said, with an arch smile, which quickly broke out into a ringing laugh. Rackit felt ridiculous, so letting the hand fall, he returned to his easel. "What an original you are!" said the laughing wicked widow. "Would you have me a stone when a god dess sits to me?" "Den's ho mythological, please," s he said '•I would rather you should be serious than throw Lempricre's Dictionary at my head." "I am serious," he replied. "People think mo gay and careless. Its a mistake. By nature I am profoundly serious—tho income tax not more so." To this Mrs. Beauchamp made no reply. "I should have thought," he continued' "that you would have better underAood me." "Surely," she said. "it W:l9 the kindect thing I could do, not to understand you." "What do you mean?" "Nay, you will force me to ask you wha: you mean?" "And if—if I were to speak plainly!" "In that case, I should be forced to re mind you of a detail, a trilling detail which you seem to have forgotten." "And that is?" She hesitated a moment; then looking fix edly nt him said: "Mr. Smythe Briggs is your friend." "I know it," passionately exclaimed Rackit—"know it but too well." "You seem to have forgotten it, though." "Never, not for one instant. Don't be offended with me. 1 know you belong to another—are about to belong to him. 1 know that you never can be mine—" "Mr. Rackit!" "I must speak now, I must tell all.— You have misunderstood me. I must clear myself." "It will be much better to let the subject drop altogether. Too much has been said." "You must hear me now. Mrs. Beau champ, sweet Mrs.Beauchemp understand me. I know the respect due to you, but I cannot help my feelings. The beam cf sun shine gladdens the artist's room, though he can not call the sun his own." The slightly theatrical tone in which this was said throw the widow into a provoking fit of laughter, during which Rackit looked supremely ridiculous. No man likes to bo laughed at when ho is not deliberately hu morous; and to be laughed at when you aro deliberately sentimental, is oneof the cruel est of p isitions. Real passion resent ridi cule with savage energy; but affected passion is powerless in the praence of ridicule, be cause it feels itself detected. "I did not know that 1 had said anything fanny," he grimly said, at length. "Excuse my rudeness," she said' "but the idea tickled me so immensely." "What idea, if I may ask?" •''rhe idea of all your sitters ns beams of sunshine, and this as the hot-house for such rcr, exotic plants." am glad you can laugh. It proves that you are not angry. I have stood befora your portrait, agitated, vexed, discouraged Hero he took her hand and pressed it WI- derly "You seem to have regained your cour age," she said. "While I hold this hand I feel capable of anything. Continuo, as before, to ben beam of sunshine,—it will give me strength—gen ius. I will Faint pictures that shall drive Millais to despair, and make the Academi cians aghast at my nudacity," "As to audacity," said the widow, with drawing her hand, "that is likely to Le in default." "Be my load•star." "llou'i be ridiculous." '•I am serious. Listen to me. I will be frank with you. You have discovered my secret; but as my passion paeem no limit of respect, you cannot object to it." "But I can, and will, and do object," •ail the widow resolutely. "Never mind," ho said. "you can't pre vent it.. I demandpo return, observe." "Very eonsideratel" "I know you aro to ba another's. To be —ye gods! To be Mrs. Briggs?" "Mr. ituckit!" she exclaimed in a uo• of severity. "You may command me to be silent: '-- "I do." "And I obey. But you cannot command me to be insensible. Yon may tear out my tongue with red-hot pincers. but you roust tear out my heart before 1 can be dead to such loveliness, such grace, each winning ways—" Airs. Beauchamp rose aild quickly put on her bonnet. •What are you going to dot' "To join Mr. Briggs and your sister." "Go, then, 'beautiful statue. Yon. bay. no heart, no feeling." Mn. Beauchamp scarcely looked at him, as she quietly said— " Rave I not?" "None; as cold as ice." "Don't be too sure of that." she said. Rho opened the door and disappeared, tear ing Rackit dazed. Instead of following.her he took up his pallotte and began in zing the colors with an air of preoccupation. tro EL covattrcenl
