There was a little conversation
took place one morning pn the top
floor of a dingy old lodging house in
the metropolis, that led ito strange
results. It was in the front room,
'but made its way . very readily
through the chinks and crannies in
the mortar to the neighboring apart
ment; where little Miss Turpin was
preparing her frugal breakfast. The
toastink, fotic nearly fell from her
hand, and her dimity apron narrow
ly escaped being seduced by a pre
sumptuous . flame from the grate,
when the harsh, gruff voice of her
landlord fell upon her ear.
"I want my money," said Shad
rach.
"So do I,"—replied the doctor ;
::and more ; Ile that wants money,
means, and content, is without three
good friends.' "
" Can I have my money to-night?"
•
I think . s not."
To-morrow?" , ,
It is extremely doubtful."
"Then you must go out of here.
I want my room as soon as possible."
, " Will to-morrow do ?"
"Yes."
k Then leave me, friefid ; the room
shall be yours .to-morrow morning."
The ; young medical student was a
man of spirit, and would have vacat
ed these not very alluring premises
at once, but he had not known where
'to lay his head, and there seemed a
vital necessity just then for some
such proceeding on his part. Ile had
discovered two days before . that the
faltering and shabby source of his
pecuniary supplies had suddenly
failed, and the 'knoWledge that he
was without money or friends, in a
strange city, together with an ina
bilkty 'to beg, borrow, or steal,, had
robbed him of sleep. The loss Of
this necessary rest to a tired brain
and worn-out body, rendered him the
rey to many ditterent',sensation's
during and after Mr. Shadrach's visit.
An iron band seemed to compass his
forehead, his eyeballs . burned, his
hands Shook, 'his knees seemed at ,
times about to collapse, beneath him
as he walked to and fro the length of
the dreary apartment, for lack of
more nourishing food chewing the
end of marry a bitter fancy. He
asked himself offer and over again if
this was to be the end of it all, and
why had he been such a fool, as to
fancy he could pursue the study of
medicine with the wretched capital
of a worn-out body, a distracted
mind, and scarcely money enough to .
keep flesh upon his bones. That an
indomitable'spirit had prompted him
to go on, loping for a little desul
tory practice by the way ; that the
rose color with which youth' and in
experience are apt to tint those falla
cious dreams . hail been all too vivid
i in his case—that these and many
other excuses could be made for his
folly availed little just now A sys
tematic course , of semi-starvation
anti overwork had 'broken the in
'lonlitable spirit, and turned the rose
colored dreams to an exceedingly
greenish-hued night-mare.
' The. only patient he had had during
his nine months' stay with Mr. Shad
rach was a poor little work-woman in
the neighboring room, a washed-out,
timid, wretehed little creature, with
scarcely enough stamina about her
to rally after a slight attack of pneu
monia. Her little fee had been
ready for him after every visit—in
fact,' obtrtisively ready, for" it was
out of the question, of course, to
take the money. "It was merely a
neighborly service," he had said,
when he hadstainmered out some
. thing about' his bill . . " I am only
too glad, Miss—Miss."
" Turpin," she had whispered.
"To be of service to you, and beg
you will call me in whenever my pres
ence -is desirable."
Miss Turpin faltered out her
thanks it. burning blush chased
the pallor out of her face, as warm
ly he pressW her trembling hand in
his nod bade' her good-bye.
" Poor little devil!" he said, as he
strode away to • the lecture room.
It's bid enough for a strong ox like
myielf to battle with this grim old
grindstone of a world, but for a mis
erable little waif like that—phew !
it's monstrous!' "
• He thought of her pityingly till he
crossed the threshold of the college,
then gave himself up to the subject
in hantl, which so engrossed-his mind
that he forthwith forgot the -exist
ence of little Miss Turpin. ,'But she,
[upon her . part, repeated over and
over the words of young Dr. Blake,
blushing again when • she became
conscious of the fact that she ,really
had the temerity fl ity to dwell pon this
_genial but commonplace courtesy.
Miss Turpin's work was , delicate
And artistic, but not soul-absorbing,
;like the doctor's. She could tint her
photographs all the better for this
little episode in her life. The vines
and tendrils took tender shapes •un
der her deft little fingers ; a shy,
sweet expression, helped to . make
the shadows at least more and more

perfect; under the rose buds grew
the ; but there seemed to lurk
even inOeir cruelty a, slibtili, mys
terious ieharni. It was enough for
Miss TUrpin to dream. The physic
al and practical reality of the doc
tor's nearness, pethaps had its
weight put not consciously so, to the
little woman. She never ventured
to get Up a cough or cramp for the
sake of stamping more clearly his
shape to these vague but extravagant
feats of fancy. In truth, so timid
and afraid was she of a pulsation of
practical joy, she actually shunned
and shrank from its approach.
• But more and more imposing,
grander and grander grew this one
figure of her fancy, around which re
volved the satellites of health and
wealth, popularity and fame—allthat
could render life sweet or desirable:,
• Perhaps it is detrimental to my
heroine to say that she would have
been quite content to have Jived up-
on. the fruit of her own fanCy for the
remainder of her natural life: Had
circumstances
compelled her to
change her abode, and had she thus
lost sight of Dr. Blake, the dreams
would have gone along just the same,

and the ',quenching of all her mater

~fulnie. It would have been
impossible to convince Miss Turpin
hat he could reach so dire an ex-
tremity had not the knowledge been
forced in upon her hut way that she
could mat refuse.
She absolutely heard . the gruff
voice of Mr. Shadrach upon the morn
ing In qnestion, and the low musical,
but bitterly mocking words of the
doctor in reply.
" Ile, that,' wants money; means
and content is without .three good
friends,'f had quoted the doctor, in
relationi to his own lack of these
blessingS, and the toasting fork shook
in !Hiss Tnrpin's trembling hand.
Then followed the coarse and ern-
el demand for the room, the doctor's
acquiescence and Miss Turpin near
ly fell into die grate. At least the
neat white apron which had flirted
with . the flane for many a day was
almost caught in, a very ardent em-
brace.

clasped both her hands. Ile was go

come a prey of an adverse destiny..
Miss Tiapin's breakfast that morn-
ing was a failure: By dint of long
practice, and 'an exceedingly gra
cious gift in housewifery, she had
always managed to get up extraordi
nary little meals ;for herself. It was
as if a little soot angel sat up aloft
in the chimney and assisted the culi
nary, efforts of the lone little woman.

poor Blake in the neighboring room,
with some chunks of brown bread

before him, finding this savory odor
under his nostrils, raised his clinch

them in envy and despair.
But even the little angel in the

behavior of little Miss Turpin that
morning. The little woman, .usual

deliberately burned the toast and
boiled the coffee, and the sooty
wings spread theinselves. taking
flight in disappointment and disgust.
She held her breath as i the famil
iar footsteps passed her - door, and
slowly, one by one, went down the
worm-eaten stairs. Oh ! where was
he going? What would he do ? She
had' read sometimes of an evening
when working hours were over, the
shaded lamp upon the table at her
side, the coals leaping and blazing in
the refulgent grate, her little slipper
ed feet upon the fender—site had
read of-,people who, having neither
money, means nor content, had drift
ed into a moment of frenzy and des
pair, and thus leaped the awful bar
that separates the known from the
unknown, content to risk atiy , fate
but that which awaited than here.
She had read thus of- poor, strange
unfortunates, and her heart had ach
ed in their behalf. But now? Well
now hei heart almost ceased to beat.
She put away - her work—of what
avail was it, all blotted and blurred
.by her tears, or ruined by her stink
ing brush? All day she feared and
trembled ; at night4all some intui
t tive Hope caused her to brighten the
flre, look a dainty meal, and placing
the table opposite the door, leave the
tempting, eozy room open upon the
windswept, gloomy corridor.
Then she waited and waited. The
clock struck ht midnight, then one,
two, three, from a neighboring belfry;
the meal was- cold, the fire burned
low ;I•the chill gray morning had al
most daWned, when at last it came
yes—thank God ; faltering but slow,
but it was his footstep ; none other
could -quicken little Miss Turpin's
pulse.
He reached the landing, the door
of her room. Why, truly, he did
pause—yes, and stagger in.
Any other TromAn but- this, per
haps, would hive recoiled with dis

fear, for the paling man was evident

by all means, water-;-waier—water 1".
Then he fell back with a groan of
agony. I
Miss Turpin ran out of the rimm
and down the stairs ;. pounded on the
door:of the German tailor below,
.who with his wife and five children
were enjoying in• sleep the only im
munity granted them from endless
labor and toil; bade Vim fly for .the
best doctor in the neighborhood ;
ran up the stairs again like a deer,
and found Dr. Blake insensible, his
head•thrown back upon the chair, his
eyes half closed, his . sterto9ous
breathing audible in the cortidor
The little German returned ,with
the very best medical aid in the
cinity, even that of the eminent Dr.
Havershaw
All this fuss and confusion had
aroused Mr. ghadrach, who followed
them up the stairs, and protruded
.his long, hairy chin in the doorway.
"It is, perhaps, best ihat you
should know / madam," said the sur-.
aeon to little Miss Turpin, " that it
is a doubtful case. -Your husband is
in a very critical condition. If this
worthy man will; assist me, we 'will
get him to bed. Our only iope is a
powerful sedative at once.".
'llhe worthy man alluded to was
Mr.lShadrach, whose eyes almost left
their sockets when he found the doc
tor preparing to at his young lodger
in Miss Turpin's bed.
i; Why—why," he gasped, looking
over at Miss Turpin," this-won't do,
•
will it?"
Miss Turpin bowed her heal. She
could not speak, but it seemed to her
that her . heart made all the noise
that was . necessary. Its convulsiVe .
throbs moved the shawl that She had
thrown about her shoulders.
Don't chatter here," said the
doctor, thinking that Mr. Shadrach
was addressing him. "Justido what'
I bid you, and the more quietly the
better."
' Half an hour after, -MisS Turpin:
was alone again, save for the body of
the, doctor that lay upon the bed.'
Ile was helpless there, perhaps dying;,
his fake was strange and distorted,.
his eyes half closed. A contu -ed,
unintelligible murmur flowed from
his lip, hist hands clinched and un-,
clinched ; at Hines a groan seemed
wrung from his vitals.
Miss Turpin's features were pale
and haggard, her eyes streaming with`
tears. Yet in the midst 'of an an=
guish that partook of despaft:, , with
throe of pain and terror tinspeakabl4
there was bou n to her a solemn and
almost sini4ter joy, the first ever giv
en to that sterile soul.

So patient and,nohle a face.. There;

" Be comforted," he saidi• "let tr - )

The incoherent mutterings of liisJ .
iatient attmcted the doctor's atteo
tion. Sharp and strong sentences
fell upon his ear that exeitefl pro:;
fessional curiosity. When.he heard
from Miss Turpin ot: the euthusiasui;

about five o'clock. And as I have
some leisure tithe; at my inn, I cannot
spend it more to My own satisfaction,
and j Our benefit, than,. by a letter, to
give you some good counsel. The
subject shall bp concerning your
speech ; because! much of the • good
or evil that befalls persons arises
from the well or ill managing of their
conversation. When I have leisure
and opportunity I shall give you my
directions on otlicr subjects. -
Never speak anything for a truth
which you knowlor believe to be false.
Lying is a great sin against God,
who gave us a tongue to speak the
truth, and not 1 falsehood. It is a
great sin againSt humanity itself;
'for, where there it no regard to
truth, there caul be no safe _ society
between! man an I man. And it is au
injury to, the s ieaker; for, besides
the disgrace wl ich it brings upon,
him, it oecasiolai so, much baseness
of mind, that he can scarcely tell
truth, or avoid lyit g, even when. he
has no color of necessity for it ; and,
in time, be conies to.
,such a pass,
that as other people cannot believe
he speaks truth,iso he himself scarce
ly knows when he tells a falsehood.
As you must Le careful not to lie,
so you must avoid coming near it l .
You must not equivocate, nor speak
anything positlYely for which you
have no authori,y but report, or con,
jecture, or opinion.
Let your wiirls be few, especially
when your supiTiors, or strangers;
are present, lest you betray your
Own weakness, and rob : yourself of
the opportunity, which you might
otherwise have bad, to gain knowl;-
gain
edge, wisdom, land ekperience, by
hearing those whom you silence by
your impertinent
Be not too e+est,loud,or violent'
in your conversation. Silence your
opponent with reason, not with noise.
Be careful not to interrupt another
when he is speaking; hear him out,
and you will understand him the bet
ter, and be able to give him the _bet 7
ter answer.
Coaider before you speak, :espe
cially when the business is of moment;
weigh the sense lot what you mean to
utter, iiud the lexpressions you in
tend to use, that they'may beYsignifi
eant, pertinent, inoffensive. In

Some men excel in laNbandry,

near as you can, where the skill of•
excellence of any person lies; pit
him upon talking on. that subject,
observe-what Lu says, keep it in your

When . you, are ,ih Company with

be not too forward' to contradictiiiin.
If the occasion requires you to de
clare yOur opinion, do, it modestly
and gently, not pltintly nor coarsely;
liy thii! means you will avoid giving
oilencei!or being abused for too much
credulity.
Be Careful that you do not corn-
Mend Yourselves. tit is a sign . that
your reputation issniall and sinking,
if your. own tongue must praise you;
and it ls fulsome and unpleasing to
others, to hear such commendations.
Speak well of the absent whenever
you hdye a suitable opportunity.
Never Speak ill of them, or of any
body, tthless you are sure they de
serve it and unless it is necessary
for theii ainendin4it, or for the safe

Avoid, in your ordinary communi

„
lie very careful' hat yon give no,
reproadbful, menacing, or spiteful
words to any perliOn: Good words
make friends; hid words make ene
mies. It is great prudence to gain
as many friends as we honestly can,
especiaily wheri it may lie done. at so
easy a rate as a good word ; and it is
great. folly to make jin enemy by ill
words, Yhich are of no advantage to
the party who usesl them. When
faults a7re committed, they may, and
'by a superior they must, be reproved;.
but let): it be done without ri r liroach
or bitterness; otherwise it Will lose
its due Vivi and use,and,ifistead of re

If a 2 person be passionate, and
giveyquill language, rather pity
him thin be moved to anger. You.
will find that silertee, or very gentle
words,' are the most . exquisite re-
Venge For reproaches: they will ei

man, and make him sorry for ;his

severe Repablican simplicity; the
following anecdote of President Jeff

streets, called the Indian• - Omen.
Shortly after Thomas Jefftirsoi was
elected President he eame'lci Balti

Fountain Inn.• A large party - was
i
gathered. They waited and waited,l
but saw no signs of thetexii'ected
guest. A gentleman came :into the
hotel with a pair of saddle , bas and
asked for a room.' He was told that
there was no room for ontSVle:s 'to
day, as the President was ~11)detecl.
Soon afterward a gentlemanrWalked
up iind asked for the President.' He
was told he had riot yet come :' Why
he was seen walking down 'this i way
with his saddle bags.' , They'all ;went
lip to the Indian Queen and'enqUired
for ..Jefferson, but the proprietor knew
nothing about him. He said an old
farmer with.a pair of saddle lbags
had 'come there a while ago and taken
a.room. Upon investigation it was
discovered to be Mr. Jefferson: They
then begged him to return to the
Fountain Inn, where the most:ample
preparations ad been made for his
reception ; but he declined, saying
he had asked for a room there and
they told him they , had none: If
they couldn't give a common farmer
a room, he . saw no reaSonwhY the:
President should be more favorably
treated. Qn another occasion; while
President, Mr. Jefferson gave: a, din-'
ner to,the foreign ministers: One ~11

awarded an improper position at the,
table, and in the Morning they de
