When a young man I had a pasiOn
which almost amounted to mania fOr

was;Wearied with professional toil I
usectto take my hammer and my

locality where I might be likely to
find good specimens. Ofeourse,dnr-.
big such excursions I met -with -ctir

,adventnres- Some. ignorant .
people, who could not deVine what
use I made of fragments of stone,
thought I was a harmless lunatic.
Others supposed I was in' search of
gold. Now and then a person would
be encountered 'who beleived I made
money in some mysterious way by
myi collection: In one instance I

and saw that a farmer was engaged
in Carting off the superfluous stones
in his field and filling a hollow iiith

deri_in that quarter were frequently
of anthophyllite. a rathei scarce min

andlbegan to examine it._ The far

"Well, you can't have a stone out

with a tine string in lieu of ribbOn;

"Ito* do you manage, to know 'em
all?"
I tried to explain to him. that the
knowledge.he thought so. wonderful
could be acquired - I.?j , study.
"Could I learn it?" he eagerly
demanded: •
"Possibly, after you know more of
other things. However, if you would
like,to try, I can' help you. I'll be
liere again, and if you will show me
the other old quarries You spoke of
just now I will not only i pay you for
your trouble, but I'll give yQU a
child's book on botany, that you can
Understand if you have a little perse
verance and patience."

"Will you, then? ' When 'r' you

ears to Norristown, the extreme limit
then of railway journey in that quar
ter, crossed the bridge, and walked
up the river-bank to Valley Forge.
'inlet the boy, on the Watch, before
I got there. lie brightened up when
he 'saw me.
"Rare you got it?" he asked.
I nodded affirmatively, and- he led
the way, with a skip and a jump, to
the quarries I *anted to see. !: As I
was engaged turning over the frag
ment of the rocks he was busy exam
ining the book Which I had mean
while handed him. Presently I went
to where he sat.
"Well," I said, "can you • make it
out!"
"A little; but it's mighty hard."
sat down on a howlder; and
went through several pageswith him.
I found he was very quick to catch
the pronunciation of tile technical
terms; and, taking np E a buttercup
which grew near, I taught him the
names of the parts and (the little
book being after the Linuwan system)
the modes of determining the genus
aid species. , I found him very qUick,
and, paying him for his:service, :dis
missed him.
'lNly bag was rather to weilfilled to
carry in comfort; so I went i i to the
village store,
to have the specimens
carefully packed in a boy, to be sent
Wilily address in town. While there
I Made some inquiries about the boy, -
William Miner, as J called him, not
giving his real name, for evident
-
reasons. The shopkeeper told me
th.it William's father, a quarryman,
had been killed font- years before by
the premature explosion of a blast in
one of the quarries I , had visited.
His wife an Irish woman, from the
County Tyrone, was well liked in
the neighborhood and eras an indus
trious, deeent'person. The boy was
well enough, - but a nuisance in ask
ing questions. . He alWays wanted
to know how every thing was done
and where ,every thing came from;
but was easily put down, and hits
curiosity i3eemed to , be suspended
foil a while after a sunbi
/.I went home, and my box of min
,rals arrived in due season:- My min
eralogical explorations'took a differ
ent direction after that, and I soon
_forgot all about William - Miner and
the "Child's First Lesson in Botany."
I-think it was fhur years after that
;that I was in a drug house in Phila
delPhia, inquiririg the price of a cer
tain article desired by a friend in the
country, , when 'I heard the :senior
partner inquire of a clerk:
" Have you shipped that lot of yel
low dock to Prout ?"
"'No, sir," was the 'answer ;',",there
isnft enough in the store. The Root
Boy is to furnish i4'4iree hundred
weight to-day, anti we'll close the
peeking and send all in one lot.
There it is now, and there he is with
it.
411 be bound for said the
partner. "lie always looks sharp for
the cash."
And in stalked a tall, srendef boy
of 'sixteen or wtenteen, and without
a Word handed the dealer a paper.
Well, Miner," said the-old gentle
man, " I needn't look at the goods.
YOu're always up to sample. Here - is
an Order on the cashier TOr the money."
Miner took it,. glanced at me, and
then recognized me.
" Why ~Doctor," he said, how do
yoi l c do? You don't remember me,
perhaps ?"
II do," said I, for ;there was no
mistaking those eyes. :" You're reg
ularly in the root buihtess, I see,
Hqw do you make out ?" , •
Very well, Doctor..,
"To you live at Valley Forge now?"
Oh, no ' • my business won't per
mit it. I live' in town no*, and my
moLther keeps house for: me."
‘ 1 So you haye a house !"
Oh ! eyes. - A little one up an
alley—four rooms in it;• but that's
en ugh." •
walked down the street with him,
a 4 he told me his history. from the
ti e I had first seen him. -He had
m l stered the element* work I hall
gi en him, and -Obtained another on
th subject . ". Everybody helped tO
i .
shove him along," he said ; and so he
becaine_quite a respectable botanist.
Ho managed to Make enough by col
lecting. roots and barks ! to maintain
his mother and himself, and all the
enterprising and ragged boys of his
own former pattern whom he Could
pi& up he employed as journeymen,
an,il was doing a thriving bnainess in
saMples. i‘ And," said he, " I have
osjer a hundred and fifty dollars laid

and found he was. getting along very

'him; but he was very industrious

for him the gerieral conlidetice'iaf the
trade.
I 'went to .West Virginia shortly
afterward and remained there for five
years, during which time I heard
nothing of Miner, and hefilipped out
of my Memory. - When r'returned,
in 1857, I came to New York to re
side.. One day I had 'occasion to visit
Philadelphia, and :vhile there I fin=
quired about Miner. I learned that
he.had Studied medicine / wits 'gradu
ated, and had set up practice in' a
[thriving Western town. And that
;was all 3. learned'then. • •
lie turned up again, not in person,
but through a paper in a Western
medicaljournal, whidh he sent tome,
a very able monograPh, and through.
a colleague . ofwell-infortyed
physician, who had visited the' Mast.
The latter inforined me that Miner,
though, fa young man,, stood in the
front rank of his profession in the -
town, and was very much liked by
his medical .brethren. He had some
peculiarities, however, one of them
being a habit of prescribing, when
ever poSsible, indigenous remedies,
instead.. of those: imported,
" Is he married ?'!
" Yes, very well, and in a romantic
way. ~Hp attended a rich young girl
andsot her out of a dangerous attack
of typhoid.
,They fell in .love with
each other and married. The.
girl,
who was just of •age t settled. her'
whole fortune on him, though lie knew
nothing of it until the morning after
the wedding."
"A rather dangerous experiment."
" lie thought, so himself, I fancy,
for he turned `around at once and
settled it all back on her—all the real
estate, that is:'.'
"Is his mother living r'
‘.‘ Yes, but quite infirm. She resided
with him, and the wife is', very fond
of her." .
Why I came to give these points
in his history is this : I received In
formation of his' death the other'day,
the result of sickness acquired in the
too, ardent pursuit of his professional
duties. The facts were .stated in a
letter from the e:ectitor, who in
formed me that by directions in the
will of the deceased_ all the botanical
workli in his library were to be culled
from the rest and forwarded-to me.—

THE DROWNING OF DR. PORTEOUS.
The intima 4 ion that the Rev. Dr.
Porteous Caine todilii death through
foul means have dissiPated. All sto
ries to such effect - Thave been relega ,
tell to the realms of sensationalism,
as inquiry has failed to find any ba
sis for the reports. The plain facts
in the case are however sufficiently
startling without the addition of fic
titious 'circumstances, and P, form
a text for temperance men, especially
against; clerical tippling. It appears
that on Tuesday afternoon ,the party,
consisting of the late•Rev. - ,Dr. Por
teous, his wife, two children. a lady
-friend; Mr. R. L. Benjamin, Mr John
Koop and two children of the latter,
left Sea cur shortly after dinner for
a sailing excursion. There was . in
the yawl a quantity of liquor, of
which those on board generally par
took until it was exhausted, when the
ladies and children were:landed. All
would have been well had the excur
sion stappettlere,lmt unfortunately
Dr. Porteous had not satisfied his
Craving for liquor, and - as there was
none obtainable at Sea Cliff,•he pro
posed that the gentlemen should go
to Glen Cove and get a drink. This
advice was put into- execution, and
not'only onebut seiteral imbibations
were made. The result was that
when the party started on their fa
tal trip for home-Mr. Benjamin. was
"quiteintoxicatedi" Mr. Koop .was
"not altogether sober," and the Rev.
Dr. Porteous is said to have been
"somewhat under the influence of ar
dent spirits.," - 1 This is the explana
tion of the catastrophe, and very
simple; natural and sad it . is. Any
theory that the doctor was murdered
by his companions for his valuables,
or any whispered surmise 'that the
refractory clergy Man was put out of
the way at the instigation of Bishop
Potter 'or Bishop Littlejohn, is alto
gether superfluous and quite unnecess
ary. The .whole party,' clergyman
included, were drunk and unable to
manage their craft. It consequently
capsized, and but one' of the patty
was in condition to . make the shore.
It will no doubt shoCk a great many
people to hear of a clergyman of such
evangelical views as those proposed
by Dr: Porteous, being unmanned
from the effects of intoxicating liq
uors bilt,lat the same time, there is
nothing surpOsing in it. Soon after
his arrival home, it was noised
through the press that on 'his pass- .
age across the Atlantic he .was almost
constantly' in an inebriated condition.
But he took refuge-in Brooklyn, that
haven of scandalized clergyman,
where his foibles and weakness were
soon lost sight of, and almost forgot
ten only to be revived iu the memor
ies of men by the manner of his tak
ing off. •No doubt the circumstanc
es surrounding the death of Dr. Por
teous will lie the occasion and pre
text for - many a theological homily
and temperance discourse. But it
should be remembered by those who
are disposed to judge of the unfortu
nate man too hastily, that those on
whom the tower of Siloam fell were not
inners above all that dwelt in Jeru
salem. There may be more than one
Porteous in our Midst. A lesson
certainly is -to be learned, : but that
can be 'done •withnut offering the
memory of the unfortunate victim
on the altar of self-righteousness.. '
A WORD TO YOUNG LADIES.
" Gtrethongbt, give energy, to themes
That perish not no folly's dreams." •
It iEt 4, matter of sincere regret that
so many young women of the present
day, who are free from ev=ery care,
and surrounded by that elegance and
leisure,Which wealth and refinement
command, neglect oppertunities for
self-improvement. Finding time weigh
heayily upon their hands, they too
often flitter' away golden hours in a
senseless round of pleasure seeking,
or delight in expending their thoughts
and energies upon the 'mysteries of
the toilet. -.Like the scriptural Eg

The connection of verse 1 is substantial
ly clear. It relates in the closest manner
to the preceding chapter. But there is
some discussion as to the order of events
in this (xiii) chapter. Olshausen
es that the institution'of the Lord's Sup
per.(not.thentioned by St. John, bbciuse
well knOwn and accepted) occurred at
the close of it ; filling a gap between
chapters xiii and xiv. " The affecting
representation of the 'distribution of his
lle,sh and blood had,
_as it were, placed
them in the: midst of his sufferings, and
the first impression made upon their lov
ing hearts was full of 'pain and grief. On
this account the Lordzgracionsl,y consoles
their, and exhorts them first to exercise
faith." Others place the institution of
the.: Supper, somewhat earlier in chapter '
xiii. Lange finds.it described in verse 34:
" new commandment (or. ordinance) I
give unto you, iii order that ye love one
another: as I have lo v ed you in order
that ye love one another." The italicised
words aie literally translated from the
original. Could we be justified in trans
lating Mole (E. V. commandment) ord
;lance, as Lange does,. this view , would bo
worthy of all acceptation: for _m-e know
that the Lord's Supper. was' designed• to
promote brotherly love, by bringing be :
lieversinto a fuller realiration'sof the di
vine love. Tholuck connects the Lord's
Supper With v. 34, a'.4 an antecedent event.
Neander and Ebrard place the institution.
-after v. 32. Any way we can
