I WAS sent for in great haste, to attend a man of responsibility, whose wife a lady of intelligence and refinement, bad discovered bim in his room lying senseless upon the floor. On arriving at the bouse, I found Mrs. Harris in great distress of mind. 11 What is the matter with Mr. Harris ?" I asked on meeting bis lady, who was in tears, and looking the picture of distress. " I'm afraid it is apoplexy," jibe replied. "I found bim lying upon the floor, where be bad, to all appearances, fallen suddenly from bis chair. His face is purplo, and though be breathes, it is with great diffi culty." I went up to see my patient. He bad been lifted from the floor, and was lying upon the bed. Sure enough, bis face was purple, and breathing labored ; but some how the symptoms did not indicate ap oplexy. Every vein in bis bead and face was filled, and be lay perfectly stupid ; but still I saw no clear indication of an actual or approaching congestion of the brain. " Hadn't be better be bled, doctor ?" asked the anxious wife. " I don't know that it is necessary," I replied ; " I think if we let bim alone it will pass off in the course of a few hours." " A few hours I he may die in balf an hour," sbe exclaimed. ' " I don't think the ease so dangerous as that, madam." "Apoplexy not dangerous ?" . " I baldly think it apoplexy," I repli ed. "Pray, what do you think it is, doc tor?" ' Mrs. Harris looked anxiously into my face as sbe spoke. I deliberately hinted that he might pos sibly bave been drinking too much braudy ; but this she positively and almost indig nantly objected to. " No, doctor. I ought to know about that," she said. "Depend upon It, the case is more deeply seated. I am sure be bad better be bled. "Won't you bleed bim, doctor ? A few ounces of blood taken from bis arm may give life to the stagnant circulation of the blood In his veins." Tbus urged, I after some reflection, ordered a bowl and bandago, and opened a vein, from which the blood flowed freely, and relieved bim of about eight ounces of bis circulating medium. But be still lay insensible as before, much to the distress of bis poor wife. ''Something else must be done, doctor," sbe urged, seeing that the bleeding bad accomplished nothing. " If my husband is not quickly relieved be must die," By this time seveial friends and relatives who bad been sent for, arrived, and urged upon me the adoption of some more active means for restoring the sick man to con sciousness. One proposed blisters all over the body, and another a blister on the bead ; another, immersion in hot water. I suggested that it might be well to use a stomach pump. . 'Why, doctor?" asked one of his friends. " Perhaps be has taken some drug," I replied. , "Impossible, doctor," said bis wife. " He bus not been from borne to-day, and there is no drug of any kind in the house." "No brandy?" I ventured the asser tion again, '' ' " No, doctor I No spirits of any kind, not even wine in the house," returned Mrs. Harris, in an offended tune, i I was not tbe regular family physician, and bad been called in to meet the ularm- ing emergency, because my house happen ed to be neatest to tbe dwelling of Mr, Harris. Feeling my position to be a difficult one, I suggested that the family pbisiolan bod better be sent for. , "But tbe delay, doctor," urged tbe friends. . -nonarm win result from it, be as sured," I replied. . But my words did not assure them. However, as I was firm in my resolution not to do- anything more for the patiout until Dr. Solly came, thoy had to submit, I wished to make a call of importance in the neighborhood, and proposed going to be back by the time Dr. Solly arrived but tbe friends of the sick man would not suffer me to leave tbe room. When Dr. Solly camo, we conversed aaiilo for a few moments, and I gave him my viows on the case, and stated what I had done, and why I had dono it. We then proceeded to the bed-side of the patient. There was still no signs of ap proaching consciousness. " Uon t you think bis head ought to be shaved and blistered ?" asked the wife, anxiously. Dr. Solly thought a moment, and thou said, " Yes, by all means. Send for a barber ; and also a fresh fly blister, four inches by nine." I looked into the face of Dr. Solly with surprise. It was perfectly grave and earn est. I hinted to bim my doubt of tbe good that mode of treatment would do ; but be spoke confidently of the result, and said that it would not only cure the disease, but be believed take away tbe predisposition thereto, - with which Mr. Harris was af fected in a high degree. Tbe bead of Mr. Harris was shaved, and Dr. Solly applied the blister with bis own bands, and which completely covered the scalp from forehead to occiput. " Let it remain on for four hours, and then make use of tbe ordinary dressing," said Dr. Solly. If be should not recover during the action of tbe blister, don't feel uneasy. Sensibility will be restored soon after." I did not call again, but heard from Dr. Solly tbe result. After we left, tbe friends stood anxious ly around tbe bed-side upon which tbe sick man lay ; but though the blister be gan to draw, no signs of returning con sciousness showed themselves, further than an occasional low moan, or an uneasy tos sing of the arms. For full two hours the burning blister parched tbe tender skin of Mr. Harris shorn bead, and was then re moved. It bad done good service. Dress ings were then applied, repeated and re peated again, but still the sick man lay in a deep stupor. " It has done no good. Hadn't we bet- send for the doctor?" suggested tbe wife. Just then the eyes of Harris opened, and he looked with balf stupid surprise from face to face, of tbe anxious group that sur rounded the bed. ' "What's the matter?" he at length said. At tbe same time feeling a strange sensation about bis bead, be placed bis band rather heavy thereon. "Heavens and earth !" He was now fully in bis senses. " Heavens and eartu I what ails my head?" "For mercy's sake, keep quiet," said bis wife, the glad tears gushing over her face. You bave been very ill. There, there now 1" And she spoke very soothing! ya " Don't say a word, but lie very still ?" "But my bead. What's the matter with my bead? It feels as if scalded. Where's my bair? Heavens and earth, I don't understand this I What's ray arm tied up in this way for? " Be quiet, my dear husband, and I'll explain all. Oh, be very quiet. Your life dopeuds upon it." Mr. Harris sank back upon tbe pillow, from which be bad risen, and closed bis eyes to think. He put his band to bis head, and felt it tenderly from temple to temple and from nape to forehead. " Yes, dear. You bave been very ill. We feared for you," said Mrs. Harris, af fectionately. "There have been two doe- tors in attendance." Harris closed bis eyes again. His lips moved. Those nearest wore not mucb edi fied by the whispered words that issued therefrom. They would bave sounded very strange to ears polite and refined. After this, he lay for some time quiet. "Threatened with apoplexy, I suppose?" he then said interrogatively. "Yes, dear," replied bis wife. "I found you' tying insensible on tbe floor on happening to come into your room. . It was most providentiall discovered you as I did, or you certainly would have died." Harris abut bis eyes and muttered some thing, with an air of impatience, but its meaning was not understood. , Finding bim out of danger, friends and relatives retired, and tbe sick man was loft alone with bis family. "Sarah," be said, "why iu braven's namo did you permit the doctors to butch er me In this way ? I am laid up for a week or two, and all for nothing." " It was to save your life, dear." t "Save " " Hu-u-sb t There, do for Iieavena sake keep quiet, everything depends on it." .' With a gesture of impatience, Mr. Harris shut bis eyes, teeth and band and lay per perfectly still for tome minutes. Tben be lurueu uis iace w tne wan, muttering in a low, petulant voice, 'f Too bad! too bad 1 too bad 1" ; . , , I bad not erred in my first and last im pression of Mr. Harris's disease, neither bad Dr. Solly, although he certainly used a vory extraordinary mode of treatment. The facts of the ease are these : Harris had weakness. He eould not taste wine nor strong drink without being tempted into excess. Both himself and friends wore mortified and grieved at this ; and they, by admonition, and be by good resolution, tried to bring about a reform. But to see was to taste ; to taste was to fall. At last his friends urged him to shut himself up at home, for a certain time, and see if total abstinence would not give him strength. He got on pretty well for a few days, particularly as his coachman kept a well filled bottle for him in the carriage house, to which he not unfrequcntly re sorted ; but a too ardent dovotion to this identical bottle brought on supposed apo plexy. Dr. Solly was right in his mode of treat ing the disease, after all, and did not err in supposing that it would reach the pre disposition. The cure was effectual. Harris kept quiet on tho subject, and bore his shavod head on bis shoulders with as much philosophy as be could muster. A wig, after tho sores made by the blisters bad disappeared, concealed the barber's work till bis hair had grown again. He never more ventured on wine or braudy for fear of apoplexy. When the truth leaked out as such things always will, the friends of Harris had many a hearty laugh, but they wisely concealed from the object of thoir mcrri mont the fact they knew anything more than appeared ou the supposed illness. Such Fun. A PERUVIAN, officer stationed en ut. board a man-of-war lying iu Calleo harbor (writes a correspondent), bad a lovoly and devoted Peruvian wife,and both were devoted to each other, but both un reasonably jealous. Au American officer fond of a practical joke, and a great favor ite with husband and wife,conceived a very clever trick, as be thought, to break them of their unfounded jealousy. He caused a note to be sent to the wife that her husband was in the habit of going to a certain street and number, and asking at the door for a Signorita Mercedes, each week, on such a day and hour. He also had an anonymous note sent to the husband that tho wife was seen weekly going at the same day and hour to such a street and number and ask ing at the door for Siguor Mercedes. It was a large dress-making establishment, but never patronized by the wife. Secur ing in some way the aid of a servant of the establishment, be awaited the " fun," as he supposed. The wife, true to her womanly curiosity and jealousy, came first, closely veiled, and in a trembling voice, said, "Signorita Mercedes," and was shown into an ante-room. The husbaud, a few minutes later, and punctual to the hour specified, presented himself at the door and rung. To the boy who opened it he said simply, "Signor Mercedes," and was at once shown into the room where sat bis wife 1 Both commenced at ouco : " I have found you out 1" " I have caught you !" &o. Neither would listen to explanation or reason. The wife screamed and cried ; the husband swore and stormed, each ac cusing the other. After both were ex hausted, the lady of the establishment, bearing the noise, came in, listened to the parties in astonishment, and protest ed that she had seen neither of them evet there before. The boy was called in j in fright he confessed the money paid bim for the " fun ;" was cuffed, kicked, and dis charged ; and the husband and wife went bom arnie iu arm, happy and ashamed. But tbe friend who baootteu up tbe 'fun': Tbe evening of the denoument, while in bis room a knock came at the door. He said, "Come in," and in walked the hus band and wife. Without a word tbey " went for" him tben and there. They scratched bim and tore out bis bair ; they banged and beat bim, and pulled out bis beard ; they cuffed and kicked them, and loft bim with torn clothes, bleeding and disfigured. He kept his bed for a week. bis eyes were closed for a fortnight, and bis friends on shipboard never dared to ask bim what was the matter with bim. IW A good looking Irishman stopping at a hotel to warm himself, inquired of the landlord "What is the news?" Tbe landlord, disposed to run upon bim, replied " They say the devil Is dead." . "An sure," says Pat, "that's news indade." Shortly after, he went up to the bar, laid dowu some coppers and resumed bis seat. Tbe landlord, always ready for a customer, asked bim what he would take. "Nothing at all," said Pat. " Then why did you put this money down." . i "An sure, sir, it's tbe custom in my own country, wbeu a chap loses bit daddy to give bim a few copper to help him pay for the wake." i ; , tW The most noble fueling of the heart is true love. Scene at a St. Louis Bank. i . ' V7"ER ish der gasheer?" ejaculated T the breathless Teuton as he . bounded up tbe steps and in the door. A Courtly gentleman made the bland response, " I am tbe cashier, sir ; what can we do for you to-day ?" " Vot gan you do vor . me, sncrement ! Dot ish a pocty node, ai nd it ? Do vor me ? Ierr Oot donnerwetter und zeifen blizen I I vants dot inonish mine gold vot I make deposit mit dis bore pank pooti-y soon last summer, und" " We have temporarily suspended pay ment, sir, by an arrangement similar " "Arrangements similar, der tuyfelt" broke in our Hebrew friend ; " vat do I vant mit your arrangements ?

The Chicago dealer in " sheep clothing" nervously drew up the chock and tbe ur bane teller counted out the sum it called for. Tbe Teuton drew in one good long . breath, counted his money carefully, put it in his breast pocket, and went his way a happy man. The cashier went back to his office, and bad been seated there some min utes when the prominent nasal appendage of his Teutonic customeagain overshad owed the counter and his voioe was again beard : " Mr. Gasheer, I vood like to speak mit you some dings." Thinking that perhaps his customer had recovered from bis fright arid desired to re deposit bis funds, the cashier responded quickly and came forward to the counter. " Well, sir, what is the matter now?" "Veil, you sco, veil I hear about dis dings mit der panks I was iu .Shecago, und I must gum righd avay queek here und I dhinks dot it vill pe all righd ven you bay mine leedle expenses down here uud pack home und" " Pay your expenses I" broke in the cashier. " Pay your expenses I Well, that is an idea, to be sure. See here, my friend, how many brass bands do you suppose could be supplied with instruments from that cheek of yours, and then bave bronze enough left to make a equestrian statue of Jim Fisk ? About how many six-gun bat teries of twelve-pound Napoleon howitzers were melted down to make that cheek, anyhow ?" Tbe excited individual . from Chicago eyed his interlocutor with tbe injured air of one who thinks he bas been refused a very reasonable request, and tben sadly preceded his coat tails out of the bank. He had got his money. Right theViTiiner " A I was riding along the road some time ago," said the eccentric old Peter Cartwright, in one of his luBt sermons, "a man overtook me who looked as though he might be a preacher. Ho called me by name, and after some talk asked me if I was ready to hear the truth. I told him that Cartwright was my namo, my debts were paid, my will made, and I was ready for anything. 'V ery well,' said be, "you old ignoramus, or hypocrite, you ought to kuow too much, or be too honest to remain a Mothodist. I used to be one myself yes, a Methodist preacher until I found out the error of my way.' Ho I ho 1' said I, ' and what are you now ?" Cartwright mentioned the name of the denomination to which .bis interlocutor had gone, but which I need not repeat, and then proceed ed : " Now, brethren, I knew well enough that the devil bad only one of three ways to get a man out of the Methodist Church into that denomination ; and that there must be rascality in money matters, a woman scrape, or liquor at the bottom of this fellow's change. So, judging from bis looks, I pulled a bow at a venture and said: " What was the fuss you bad about a woman?" " Cartwright, you old rascal!" he shouted In a rage, ' how did you ever bear about that !' And, putting whip to bis horses, be was soon out of sight. I never saw or heard of tbe man before ; but that' tbe way I treed that coou no, drove that skunk td bis hole." tW Gain a friend by a' quarrel, if it Is possible never lose one however, this is possible ; for there is peculiar mode of conduct, even when dissension, reigns, that oommanda veneration and generates es teem.: ' tW Conceit and confidence are both of them cheats, the first always imposes on itself, tbe second frequently deceives other too.
