MISS TODD, M. D.,
A DISEASE OF THE HEAET
FROM TUE PORTFOLIO OF A YOUNG LAWYER
The days of my clerkship were
;ended; my examination was over, I
.was admitted; wrote myself "Nehe-•
miab Hobbs, Attorney," put up my
new, bright little sign, and in my
native village is. an my professional
career. No, I did tot . either; lam
mistaken; I iiacnded to pursue the
i: , morable practice .of the noble pro
ion to which I had dedicated my
nts and learning, in the place of
birth. but never was a truer word
wimed, than the time-honored prov
-rh, "A prophet has no honor in his
own country." I believe if I had
reniaiuml in the village of Green Briar
till my head, was white, they would
hav6 thought of me as nothing but a
boy, and would have feared.to trust,
me.. Even after my sign was put up,
nobody called .me Mr. Hubbs ; I was
"Xe" with old and young, and
"lc" I would hare remained •to this
' day, had I remained in Green . Briar.
Only one case claimed my attention
during the three months of my patient .
conti:oiance in Green Briar, after
; being admitted to the. bar, and that
was the case of an unjustly impounded
pit;; "1121, , niously abstracted, your
honor, from the small but secure spot
in which "my client had trustingly de
posited him, and maliciously driven to
the public enclosure called a pound,
' thr the vile purpose, doubtless, of
coinpelling my client in his poverty
and destitution, to pay the enormous .
fee which has been demanded of him,
-in order to extricate-the animal from
his unpleasant 'position and restore
him to the bosom of his family."
By this Line= the client's family,
the pig having none of his own; it
was a figure of speech undoubtedly,
the family not inhabiting an Irish cab
in, but still it rounded off -the period,
and sounded-well to me, as I repeated
over and over again my maiden speech,
pacing up and down the floor of my
little office. In this, my first case, I

was successful so far as to rescue the
impounded animal and save my client
from the payment of an unjust demand ;
but it brought no silver to my pocket,
neither, to my surprise, did it seem to .
1)1.111 , 4 honor to my name.. The elo
quence of my speech did not form the
theme, as I fondly hoped it would, of
parato;aphs in the village papers, or
of discussion at de corners of the
streets, neither did it bring to my
office the t ush of clients for which
each (lay I vainly Made ready. It was
plain that I should never rise to dis
tinction in Green Briar, and so I. came
to the sudden determination to remove
from that pleasant spot, and settle in
some great city - -where nobody knew
or had ever heard of me; where,
above all, there was not a soul to call
me “Nc."
There I was more successful, and
soon had the opportunity of fbrming
very advantageous partnership; busi
ness increased; money began to come
in, slow at first, but after.a time mac
plentifully, and all things seemed pros
perous in my outward circumstances.
_lint alas! as we are so often told poet
ically; there is no sweet without its
bitter, no rose without its thorn; and
trouble came to me in the shape of
diseai;e, insidious, and slow in its ap
proaches at first, long feared and sus
pected, but at length betraying itself
so plainly, that I would blind myself .
m) longer to the truth.
Yes ! I was without doubt a victim
of disease of the heart; not metaphor-.
icaliv, dear reader, for never hid that
~ruan beat with a quicker pulsation
at - the approach of mortal \vernal' ;so
tar as the gentler sex was concerned,
was a perfect 'stoic; but that there
wa wiqanic disea-ze about my heart,
I could not doubt, and if ever.the
symptoms disclosed themselves un
mi,takably, they did so. in my case.
There was a fluttering, palpitation,
irre2uhir action, •and at length pain;
I could not work; life had lost its
ze,t; the fear. of sudden death was
ever with me; I could enjoy nothing.
If 1 ht:d anything to leave,. or anybody
to leave it to, I should have trade niy
will, for 1 was quite .sure now that . I
should drop some day dead •in the
street, or that the morninKwould soon
come, when the power lfo rise froni
my bed would have left me.
I remained at my boarding house,
and fliund.no comfort in anything but
my cigar, and my dread disease grew
worse mid worse. As yet I had con
sulted 110 physician, partly, I think,
from the apprehension of having my
fears confirmed; but as I sat by my
window ono day, smoking as vigor
, ously as ever, my attention was ar
rested by a modest little sign upon an
opposite blind—"C. L. Todd,.M.D."
While .thinking whether or not it
would be best to make atrial of a
a phisician's skill, • a sudden tinge and
flutter decided me; yes, I would send

for Dr. Todd, and know the worst at
once! • "
Summoning the only male servant
belonging to the establishment, I told
him to step and ask Dr. Todd to come
and' see me as soon as possible.
The boy grinned.
• "What are you laughing at?"• I
asked, "is not Dr. Todd a good phy 7
sician ?"
"(5, yes sir," Ile answered, :" I be
lieve she is a
,very good physician,
but she ha'nt 'never tended- nobody
litre."
"S'ke.?" said I to myself, "the boy
surely has Welsh, blood
they, always Say, she everything."
The boy soon returned,- saying,
"the Doctor Wasn't home, sir, butl
left your name on the slate."
In the course of the afternoon, as I
lay upon "The sofa, .with my hand,
pressed.upon my head, to still its ir
regular pulsations, there was a soft
tap at my door. "Come in," I called
out, and bo my surprise, in came the
neatest, brightest, most 'Cheerful look
ing little woman it had ever been my
lot to meet.
" You sent for me, I believe sir?"
she said in a quick, brisk, pleasant
way.
"I 1 No, madam; you are laboring
under a mistake."
"Ah! 1 beg pardon," said the little
woman, "I found on my slate the
name of Mr. Hubbs, number fourteen,
Mrs. Grey's boarding house, with a
request that I would call and see him."
" Your slate, madam?" I exclaimed,
my astonishment increasing cvery.mo
ment, "you surely are not a—" .
"Physician! yes sir;" she inter
rupted quickly.. "I'm a physician;
Br: Todd."
"Ex-traordinary'!" was all I could
say, for though I had heard at a dis
tance of the existence of such beings,
this was the first introduction to a
female practitioner of the esculapian
art. It was rather awkward, but
since she had come, I determined to
make the best of it, and acquaint the
lady Doctor with my case.
,She felt my pulse, asked numerous
questions as to my symptoms, and
then in her quick, 'bright way ex
claimed—
• "Nervous! nervous! that's all, de
pend upon it! Excuse me, sir, but
by the air of your room, I suppose
you are much given to. smoking."
I plead guilty.
" And how many cigarki do you usu
ally smoke in a day ?"
" I could not tell : I never counted,
as soon as I threw one away I took .
another, usually.
• " Hum ! a cigar in your mouth pret,..
ty much all the time, eh ! Chew, too ?
Again a -reluctant confession was
rung from me.
" I presume . you sit up late, *smok
ing all the time. !"
"Yes, ma'am, smoking and reading."
" That's it ! No disease of the heart
at all, sir ; nothing hut tobac'co ; de-
pond upon it ; nothing but tobacco ;
it'll make you fancy anything ;
drive you crazy if you don't take care.
Now will you promise. to follow my
advice closely, or not ? if not, I will
take my leave immediately."
I promised, submissive as a lamb.
"In the .first place, then, throw
away all your cigars and tobacco, and .
promise to buy no more."
With a sigh given to my sole On,
solations, I said I would do as he di
rected, Many .more directions she
gave me as to diet, exercise, early
hours, &c. Perhaps she saw too that
cheerful companionship was one thing
1 needed, and so she remained awhile,
talking with great glee and spirit,
about matters and things in general ;
and promising to call and see me the
next morning, she left.
I had - not felt so well in a great
while ; indeed, I had not given my
heart a thought siiicC the little wothan
entered the room.
The next morning I found myself
watching impatiently for the arrival Of
my little doctor. She came, bright
and cheerful as the day before. What
a perfect little sun beam she was
could not help growing better under
her care, and the influence of her
cheering, and yet I 'contrived some
achd or pain every day, as , an' xcuse
for the continuance of her visits.
At length I found my heart, which
had long been quiet and
,apparently
free from disease, began to flutter and
palpitate again, hut I observed it was
only when I heard the little woman's
tap at my door, or felt her soft fingers
on my wrist. In short, as she . had
driven the disease out of my heart,
the little woman herself had walked
into it. I could no longer blind my
self to the fact ; and when she one
day told me that I was now off the
sick list, and out of her hands, I de
termined that she should not so easily
get out of mine.
So I told her that as she had now
given ease to my heart in one respect,
she must. not leave till she bad done
so in. another, or 1 should be worse off
than I was before. The little woman
looked perplexed.
Then stated my case, and ex
plained my symptoms "asecond time,
showing her the distressed, state of
my heart, and she alone could Cure it.
The former disease she had removed
by an occasional visit; the latter amid
only be cured by her promising te
come and take up her abode with me
as resident pl4ysic;an. She understood
me now, and by the way she pressed
her hand on her. own little fluttering
heart, one -would have ' thought the
disease was contagious; 'and, 1: verily
think it.was. So-noW we determined
to cure each other, and ut-:.t. we are
both to apply to a clergyman, who is
to fo rni between us a life-partnership,
as lawyer and physician.
But one thing - or which
I had not -thour.,Lt ail now; that it- is
necessary to 1— our cards engraved.
Married poople ~ lre usually "Mr. and
Mrs. so and or "Mr. such.a one

Xpro Territories—lnd in Ropmentativea in Con-
BM
It is said by the \Vaahington corres
pondent of_tho New :York Tribune,
that the national administration has
sent to the Chickasaw, Chocktaw, and
Cherokee tribes of Indians a proposi
tion,.accompaniedby bills drafted in
three ditkrent tongues, to organize
the Indian territories below the south- -
ern boundary of Kansas . territory, and
give them- a representation in Con
gress. The wife of a. missionary resi
dent . among the Chickasaws,Am is
now in Washington, furnishes this in
formation, and states that the proposi
tion and bills had arrived in the Indian
country before she left there, which
was in April last. The Chickasaws
were very suspicious of the ufiair, and
did not know but that it was a scheme
of -the government at Washington to
cheat them out of their lands. Ac
cording to the letter we quote from,
the proposition embraces a plan. for
three separate territorial governments,
one extending over the Cherokee na
tion, a second over the Creeks, and a
third over the Chocktaws and Chicka
saws. These tribes were to be al
lowed six months to consider the mat
ter, and the government has made
glowin g promises of aid for their ter
ritorialorganizations in case of 'their
agreement. If this be true, it may be
taken for granted as accomplished
already, for it is an easy matter to
procure the assent of these Indian
nations to the plan, and with the pres
ent
Democratic • majority in both
branches of Congress, the Administra
tion may carry through any measure
which is deemed desirable. Theater=
ritory in question comprises nearly all
the remaining unorganized territory
of the United States; and extends
from the Red River to the thirty-sev
enth parallel of latitude, which is the
boundary of Kansas, and from Ar
kansas on the east to Texas on the
west. The area covered is. about
equal to that of the State of Arkansas.
The ChocktaWs and Chickasaws have
been for a number of:years consolid
ated under one government of their
own; though latterly , 'there has been
some disagreement between them.'
All of the tribes mentioned are con
siderably advanced in civilization, cul
tivzite the earth as farmers, have schools
and academies, live like the whites,'
and conduct their 'government affairs
in the same way, by means of elections
by' ballot, legislatures, and elective
chiefs. The Cherokee ration is quite
a promising specimen of a native
Commonwealth. As Slavery is air es
tablished institution among these tribes,
no doubt the principal. reason for- the
proposed'terrnorial organization is to
secure, another slave State, or perhaps
three of them. A bill is already be
fore Congress to enable the whole of
the : civilized Indians to become
citi
zens, as well as to enable theM to sell
parcels of their lands to white . settlers.,
This plan will doubtless be combined
with the proposed territorial bills, and .
so open to White slavehOlders froin the
Southern States a new area: it is'by
no means a new idea, 'but has been
long entertained. It is pressed at the
present tithe because everything fa-'
•ors its success.—Phila. N. Anzeriaan.

WASIIENGTON'S OPINION or SLAVERY
We published in the Tribune of
July 21 some observations on the char
acter of Washington, vindicating that
great man from the imputation of ap
proving Slavery, and showing beyond
all question from one aids own letters,
that he continued to hold slave prop
erty only -because circumstances be
yond his control rendered it impossible
for him to do otherwise. To exhibit
the manner in which subjects of this
sort arc apt to be treated in southern
and other pro-slavery journals, we
copy in another
. column a leading arti
cle.from one of
s the oldest and most
influential papers of Virginia, the
Petersburg Intelligencer,, in which
reply - to our remar' ks is attempted,
and the extract of a hitter of Wash
ington,. which we published, is
posed of in - a manner peculiarly Vir:
ginian.
It will be perceived that our Peters
burg cetemporary admits without he
itatidn that Washington's letter, which
first appeared in print in the columns
of the Tribune, pores that Washing
ton /pi an utter repugnance to Slarerg,
and-was anxious to be rid of his slaves
—if that letter was riot a forgery ; and
on this point we have great pleasure
in , being able to give the Intelligencer
such hill - a-illation as cannot - fa of being
perfectly satizZfactory to its ingenious
and suspicions soul. It asks with
amusing simplicity: " - Who ever heard
before of Tobias Lear, as an intimate
and confidential friend of Washing
ton?" We answer, that all those who
had personal relations with Washing
ton during the eight. years in which he
was President of the United States,
must.have "heard•of Tobias Lear," as
his private secretary, and it should not
have been a difficult conclusion that
this officer was a most "intimate and
confidential friend." He must have
been sometimes beard of in this ca
pacity by those persons also who
visited the venerable chief after his
final retirement to Mount Vernon,
where :Mr. Lear resided with him till
Iris death, having been solicited in an
affectionate letter to accept the gene
ral superintendence of his private af
fairs, and to reside in his family. The
editor of the Intelligence'. may have
seen an engraved picture, once not
uncommon irk 'Virginia, representing
the Closing Scene, in which the wife
of the hero is led to his bedside by
this same " intimate and confidential
friend," to take her last leave of him;
and if he will consult Marshall, Sparks,
or the other biographers of Washing,-
'ton, he will perceive that about ten
minutes before he expired, he gave to
Mr. Lear directions 'respecting his
burial, after which he never again
spoke.
The Intelligencer procepds to ask
where this important letter, which
takes from Slavery every substantial
'vestige of support which it has hith
erto received from Washington, "has
been all 'the years that have elapsed
sinne its date." The knowledge we
.possess of the destruction of so many
documents of this-kind by the ageing
of Slavery, might render us somewhat
cautious in our reply; but considering
that the original letter has been seen
by so many, and that its past and
present existence might be so easily
established should it be destroyed,
like:many other letters by Wasl:irigtcn
and Jefferson on the 'same subject, we
will inform the anxious editor of the
Intelligencer that it is in the possession
of the surviving heir of Mr. Lear, in
the city of Washington, who - inherited
it with some two 'hundred and fifty
other letters which were also addressed
from time to time by Washington to
the same "intimate and confidential
friend."
The Intelligencer wishes to know
" why it is that this letter makes its
appearance now -for the, first time?"
We are reluctantly constrained to re
fer our cotemporary on this point to
Dr. Jared Sparks. Wo have no dis
position to retipen the controversies
respecting the manner in which that
distinguished gentleman edited the
writings of Washington; but others
beside ourselves arid 'Our brother of
the Petersburg Intelligence may be
curious to understand why he sup
pressed a paragraph of profounder
and more important significance—per
sonal and political—than almost any
which he has chosen to include in his
twelve volumes of Washington's wri
tin„ns. The original letter, we happen
to know, was placed with the others
addressed by Washington to Lear, in
Mr. Sparks's custody, to be printed
by him if he thought proper. In pages
408 and 411 of his tenth volume, he
copies the rest of it, omitting, alto
gether that pregnant:portion which - we
have given to the readers of the Tri
bune, without any intimation whatever
—even such as is conveyed by two or
three periods or asterisks—that he has
failed to transcribe the whole. • We
shall be happy to hear from Dr. Sparks
on this subject, and hereby tender hitn
the columns of the Tribune for any
explanation he may have to make of a
fact so extraordinary.
=We trust the Petersburg Intelli
gencer is sari:-fled there was:once suck
a person as Tobias Lear—that he was
"an intimate and confidential friend"
of - Washington—that the extract of a
letter a4dressed to hint by Washington,
wuich we have printed, is not a for
gery--and that Washington was really
" utterly repugnant to such a species
of property" as slave's, and "extreme
ly anxious to be rid of their posses
:ion."—N. Tribune.
THE MonmoNs.—Twenty-eight years
ago, "Jo Smith," the founder of this
sect, and "Harris," his first convert,
applied to the 'senior editor of The
Trxrnal, then .r'esiding at Rochester,
to print his "Boy i rc of Mormon," then"
. jti t. transcribedOem the "Golden Bi-
Isle" which "30*d-found in the cleft
of a rock.to which he had been guid
ed by a vision. We attemtcd to read
the first chapter, but it seemed such
unintelligible jargon it was thrown
:vide. "Jo" was a tavern-idl&r in the
Village of Palmyra. Harris, who .of
ferred to pay fin• the printing, was a
sttb,tantial_ fat mer. Disgusted with_
what we deemed a "weak invention"
of an impostor,.and not caring to strip
Harris - of his hard earnings, the propo
sition was declined. The manuscript
was then taken to another printing
ofliec across the street, whence, in dial
time, the original "Mormon Bible"
made its advent.
" Tall mks from little acorns gro."
But who would have anticipated,_
from such a bald, shallow, senseless
impo,ition, such world-wide conse
quences ? To remember and contrast
"Jo Smith" with his loafer-look, pre
tending to read from .a miraculous
sintestone placed in his hat, with. the
Mormonism of the present day, awa
kens thoughts alike painful and morti
fying. There is no limit, even in this
most ,enlightened of all the ages of
Knowledge, to -imposture and credu
lity. If knaves, or even fools invent
creeds, nothing is too monstrous for

We are not aware that we have
