a suggestion about trying what he can do for
her.. Uncle Abraham hasn’t mueh hopes. He
thinks. the.Doctdris a .rather nice man j‘ and
some day when Tie’s coming along, maybe, he
will speak to. him], and' boo what he thinks.
The Doctor’s friend marks the condition, and.
It Isn’t long before that clever medic|iier it oh,
uncle Ahmham’s'poroh talking pleasantly, and,
thethlpgis. settled. ■ - 1 .
Therb Is no hurry at all in these; things. 1 It
just happens that the preacher, oh the circuit
stops at.unclc Abraham’s because , if 'is handy
to theinoeting house, and aister Haney is. not
vcry weli able to be out. The Doctor is going
by and stops, throws the telh over the hitching
post, refusing to liave hishorse pntup, because
ho wants to be going oh again directly j hut he
con take'a minute to pay his respects, to the,
preacher, . The wemen are getting early sup-'
per, jhe Doctor, consents to wait for it, just for
the'sako of "sociability, and the party at leisure
—consisting, ofa!! the meninvited after preach
ing; atidali the Women, except one or two who,
have turned in to help the girls to get up the
up in expectation of what
_ tho fwo professional gentlemen will say to
each "other. The conversation is sure to be left
' entirely to them. Nobody else will ever think
of putting hi a word, other than some interjec
tional phrase to mark tho attention given, and;
the'pleasure fiilt, in it, suCh as i • “ Well, did.
evet-f”-- “I dp declare!” “ That’s just it.”
It tiirns out, that tho Doctor’s grand-motlier
once heard Mr, Wesley preach in Ireland,, and
that he has himself read Watson’s life, and
knows that Adam Clark wrote a very" learned
commentary oii thewhole Bible, without miss-,
Ingasinglo verso in it; and so; ho is a sort of
half-brother, ? and must feel a.tather warm
sida fpr' .thp church that he’ knows so much
about. .Besides, if is a good sign of. him tliat
he has. paid so much attention to serious things.
, Hncle Abraliaih is.curious to know.whep) he
was «< raised, ’’ and where he studied, and as
the names of the towns “ down below” are res
’ jpectable, one of them having a bank in it, and
the other being tlieresMoncoofthoWhlg can
didate for . Governor, whom the Doctor knows,
and speaks well of, and especially as the young
gcntleman’s maniiera are .easy and confident,
the old gentleraan has faith in him, and he is
installed as - family- physician incontinently,
which.meatirin this household, pnlUhgatooth
, occasionally for the girls, bleeding the hired
hands when they a’nt very well, add, ho Can’t,
find out whit, If anything, is the matter with
them, behaving himself generally like a son to
Aunt Nancy, l who never had any of her Own,
and, ,telling unelo Abraham, every, thing he
knows about “down below.” The profit being
a ainall medical bill paid cheerfully at the end
of tho year, and the good old folk’s best word
for hiiii all yoiind the neighborhood, which
pays handsomely in good time.
Wo have-just how seen how the Dpctpr got
into a family, and established adcpotothiß pro
fessional popularity at Uncle Abraham’s.. .He
had done a fair day’s work for a beginner, he
thought,jisTie mounted his horse to wonid his
way leisurely homewards; buthe,had some
thing, to learn on this subject of acquiring prac
tice ’which : hie . three months’experience.'of
« early strugglea”,had not yet thrust into his
reflections. Slugsburg and uncle Abraham’s
connections would do well enough, If they did
. himno harm elsewhere. The patronage ofa sot
is so much capital, but there are parties every
where, and they have prejudices, which the
young candidate for the cure of bodies through
out tho'distrlct will fbel, if ho is slow to appre
hend and evade them. .. If he commits or seems
to commit himself too decidedly, to one'set; be
wlllhave some trouble in annoxing any more
of the territory, upon which ho has squatted to
his professional domain, . ...
Our, young frietid had never thought of those
things, or of any thing else that concerned his
prosperity; except so far as a reasonably fair
preparation to deserve success might.command
it. He had the good luck to get a good lesson
on his way home, and from the most unex
pected quarter. ■ , . -
As he was riding along, wasting thought in
thinklbg, under the direetion of a vagrant fan
cy, be war. suddenly pulled up as ho was cross
ing the creck, by a very lazy-toned salutation
from Jim Devlin, one of the rowdies of the
group,that we had a glance at as they lay un
der the service-tree in tho lane, during the.
morning service a week or two ago.
Jim was the manliest scamp of the set, and
something better worth the stndy than a vol
ume, of metaphysics, to' any one,: capable of
understanding him. He was sitting on tho up
per rail of the worm-feneo making a willow
whistle for young Jim—a diamond edition of
himself, about five years old, who was all the
time perellod upon the foot-log fishing formin
nles.with'a piu-liook. The two had been de
scrlbed.by one of the old one’s cronies, very,
happily, as old Jim and now Jim; and every
body who'khewthe subjects, was delighted With
the nice, distinction without a difference which
ho so fairly hit.
Old Jim, who by-the-by, was not a minute
over thirty, was as well,- made, bodily, as any
man need he; either for use or beauty, and he
hadbrains enough to work both to good profit;
bufiPthia own phrase, there Was nothing going
on tliatihe cared much about, and the small
farm which his father had givoahim, rent free,
to nille himself on When ho married ten years
befbre; .which kept him as poor as Job’s turkey,
had held him also, in a sort of fast-and-loose
way, from turning his hand to any thingbetter.
So ho had, for,a decade ofh;s young manhood,
done half-days .work negligently, gone hunting,
attended vendues, swapped horses, anff edited
tho gossip oftbc country, very little' to the
profit.or pleasure of himself or any. body elso,
In the absolute leisure df such' occupat ion and
such jclloneaSj hb wtta driven into the company
in which, wo first' found him, and which he
rather likedTittt did not at all respect.
110 had been.a wSdowernow for about a year,
and as usual with such jpeople. when anything
happens to throw theiu bift of their - calcula
: tions—which means breakihg hp their habitual
reliances—he had aome thoughts of moving to
Ohio."-1 But Ms, children were in. the way, very
helpless and very unmtaagahle, and all that his,
wife’s family oould do forhis relief, was to de
tail. onif df his sisters-ih-lkw to serve as house-'
keeperfq'tjilnt, and fostefmotherfo'them. In
this way liohadheen getting alongfor a twolye-,
- month;<tolerahlyivell/xed as;be would say,
and as every body else would pay Who knew
hishahitSiTjffMßia difference;in tile meanlnj;
of that he. meant., provided for, and:
thewmaint fastened where he Was, a--.
. jyhenjim was under twenty he was the com
panion of all the dashing, young Modes of. .the.
neighborhood, and ftilly at par among them;
Butsome of them had gOt married and'gone to
work soberly ami grown stnpid; sonie of them
had gvown industrious and mean; some of thorn
had gone to Ohio, and some to the d—l
- the originals only- remained , tq him—John
Brooks—who was a very skilful and indus
trious laborer, without a trade. Ho worked
hard all the year round at all sorts of season
able jobs, such as digging wells, tending ma-
Bons, building fence, threshing with the flail,
rough-hewing timber, mowing, reaping, pitch
ing hay and grain; (ft all of which be was first
rate, and at cradling wheat and rye he was
tho best hand in the country. John always
worked by the day,, every day of tho week,
and gave his Sundays to Jim and moderate joli
ty. His‘family was already large, his wife
pickly,and,if Johhhadmot been hgood fel
low and a .wit, he would not have been as hap
py and well-behaved as ho was. .Johndid not
earn over a hundred and seventy-five dollars a
year—his .wife earned : nothißg; arid they had
about six children on their hands. He owned
neither house or land, or any thing else, except
the scantiest and cheapest supply of household
-frirniture; a milk, cow and a couple of pigs. He
might have taken all this together as a pretty
hard lot, hut ho did’nt. Ido’htknow who it
was that ho envied, and I am quite sure that ho
felt as much respect for himself as ho did for
any body, else, and fob good reasons; for, ;
wherever he. went, his reputation was a com
fortable one. '. - ;
Jini is still'sitting on’the fence, and his
abridgement is still fishing for a nibble; hut
they are in no hurry, and can wait till I have
presented our jolly laborer at five shillings a
day, as he exibited himself to mo on two of the
occasions which brought him out a litlle.
Wo were all together ono day at the neigh
boring church, gettingup the first temperance
society instituted in the valley. The I’resby
.terian parson, squiroDlckoy,onooi his elders,
a prosperous and verypropermun,two'or three
farmers, frightened at tl;o prospect of having
their tipple stopped, or discredited, and their
field-hands in a rumpus iftho restriction should
be attempted; the young Doctor, fifty women,
twoboys,,and Jim Devlin and John Brooks,
constituted the congregation. - -
The preacher had read Doctor Beecher’s
six discourses, and thought it was time to do
something; and his principal men in tho chnrch
felt that It was necessary to moderate the move
ment, for-fear, of consequences which they
anxiously appreliendbd. Thoy must patronize
the movoment, and, they must mollify it; nnd
Jim and John wore there for tho express pur
pose of seeing how they would do it;.for those
two fellows understood those dignitaries a lit
tle better than any body else in tho whole
cbnntry did, and thoy were sure of some, fun
for themselves in witnessing and helping the
worry of the compromise.
After the constitution Was read, squire Dickey
gavo us to understand that he was habitually
temperate, and had no objection for himselfto
any practicable measure which would rid the
country of tho evil of cxcessiyo drinking; ho
would therefore willingly sign the plodgo lilm
self, hut for the sake of others who must be
brought into the measure, he would suggest,
that it be so amended as to allow of giving
liquor, to laborers in the employment of the
signers, who, he was sure, could not be got to
work if it were refused to them. The preach
er was fairly shut up by this' proposition which
so nicely cut the heart and knocked the brains
put of the pledge., One of the farmers thought
it hot bestto be rash in reforms, and another
was ofthe opinion that it was always best to
bajmoderato,' The Doctor grew indignant and
pitched into them accordingly, till they were
fairly enraged, and the woman were confused
and frightened.' The preacher, whose business
it was to oil tho binges, andgot the thing going
some way or other, was about rising to agree
with all parties and reconcile them, when John
pulled himself up, and all. eyes were turned
upon him, “ Mr. Chairman,” said John, «I
reckon I‘ ought to take no partin tMs meeting.
I- came, only to see what was going .on, and I
know how to behave myself wherever I am j
.bni I liave a right to answer squire Dickey.
He drinks more than Ido, and he is as fond of
treating people as they are of taking it from
him. It’s the best way ho knows of for makin;:
people welcome to his house, or working we]
in Tiis fields. Ho hos’nt .got any more good
senso than the law allows him, (this flno figure
of speech ia an illusion to the minimum of'an
insolvent’s household stuff exempt from execn
tion,)and he could’nt get himself along com
fortably, if he bad to pass in company for what
he is. Worth, without tbo.help of afewflpenny
bits, spent in whiskey to make him look big and
liberal; and what’s more of it, he has a fair
chance next full for tho Sheriffalty, and the
plcdgo-would be mighty inconvenient to him,
ifhehas to run against Tom Parker. He
might go against the. pledge for all. mo, if ho
would' put it on the right ground. If ho
would only confess judgment, I’d bo willing
for one, to let him take, the stay (of execution)
till it ’ll he eaiser to go the temperance figure
than to holdback. But I’m not going to sit
here and bo shy, while ho tries to. throw tho
blame on the, werkies. I’m one of them, and
I tell him that I can better do without his
liquor than he can do without my vote.”
' “There, there, John,” interposed. Jim.
“ You’ve skinned your possum, and the next
out will spoil the bide. Have a little mercy,
than, I’m getting ashamed of you!”
J ohn’s other affair was in this wise: I was at a
vendue one day a little afrcr'harvcst, standing
with a group of farmers who were near neigh
bors, good friends, the’most respectablo men
in the valley, and bod the largest harvests to
put in., This ycartho wheat ' had ripened all
over tho country at once, apd tho press for
hands to savo tho crop had been ono of tho se
verest. John Brooks, had been in great de
mand. . Ono of these farmers happened to spy
John coming across the field toward us. “There
comes that scamp Brooks,” said he, “He
promised to cradle wheat for mo all through
harvest, and ho never came near mo.” “Why,”
said another “he promised mo tbithftilly and
disappointed mo just as badly.” “ Confound
the rascal,” said tho third, “ ho served me ex
actly the same way. Let us attack him, and
see what ho can say for himself.” To get him
fairly at bay, wo opened a ring for him, and
ono of them calling to him, said, “See hero,
John, come hero.”
“ ’Morning, gentlemen,” said John, walking
right into fho.uoose, « what’s up ?”
Mr. A—“ John, did’nt you promise me pos
itively to cradle for me oil tho Monday that I
began to cut. my wheat ?”
u Yes,” said John without tho least embar
rassment.
- Mr. Why, Jolm, you promised me for
the very same day ?”
“I did,” said John. ' ;
Mr. C —“ And mo too, for the very same day.
Oh, John!”
John was cornorned, snrrotmdcd, caught;
but woo to tho hounds that had gone in to tho
hunt. '
"With a look that showed all that John had been
garnering up for them for years, he gazed long
and steadily enough at each of them, in turn,
to : make them visibly uneasy; then beginning
with Mr. A—, “You canto to mo on Saturday
night, nnd asked me to cradle for you on the
next Monday. I told you that I was engaged
to George Graham tor that day, and all the
week after. You answered that Graham conld
got along witliont mo. I told you that I was
engaged, and that was all I could say about it.-
Then you went to coaxing and persuading, till I
gave you the promise that you are now throw
ing in my face. There is Graham on the porch;
shall I call him to prove that I kept my en
gagement fiiithftilly. with him?. I guess you’d
rather, riot. But, do’nt go away now, for I
Want yon to hear a little of your next neigh
bor’s kindnqs and fair dealing. It will balance
your own to Mr. Graham.
’ “ Mr. B—, when you came for mo, did’nt I
tell you that I had half an hour before promised
Mr. A—? The last time I saw you taking the
sacrament together, I thought you were
brethem as well as neighbors, and would do to
each other as you would like to he dono by.
Shall I remind you of what you said about Mr.
A—not being as good a friend ofmlneasyou
were, and telling mo how hard he talked about
my impudence at tho temperance meeting 7
On, you’d ratner not. And Mr. C.—”
Mr. o—“ Stop John j you have such a tongue
in your head, you’re, fit to set the whole
country to quarrelling. I do’nt mind what I
said to get you to cradle for mo. Not much of
anything, and nothing at all very earnest.”
John. “ But X remember it well, and it was
only too unnoighborly to both these friends of
yours to repeat—don’t contradict me now, or I
'will have to settle you, once for all.”
You see, gentlemen, you all three tried
your best to make n liar and a slink of me,
and! just thought I’d lot you lie down com
fortably in the beds you had made for your
solves. I kept fairly the only promise that I
made fairly; you wero very 1 happy expecting
me till the day came, and you have been en
joying yourselves abusing me over since, I
hear, but I rather think you have waked up
the wrong passenger this time, and would bo
very willing to hear the last of the joke as
soon as possible.”
Here Jim, who was nevermlssing when there
■Was any, mischief afloat, and had joined the
group when he heard John cnllod to sco “ wliat
was up,” broke in with a clincher i
“Why, John, you’re ns b great a hypocrite
hs oitlicr of them, and ail the, worse fur doing
itin pare fun, while those gentlemen wero at
least in carhfcst, andseriously intending to do
the very best they'conld for t&emscives. John,
you’re always making mo ashamed of yon.
Come along: I’vo been waiting for you'- to
Jlnish that gamo at horse-shoes.”
>' 'We said,’hall aq hour ago,' that Jifh arrested
the Doctor with a slow-and-easy salutation. It
was something on this wise: “ Evening, Dec.
—just coming from uncle Abram’s, arc you ?
Most made np yonrmind to join the Methodists
a-purpqse?”,. Hero ho tried the whistle, and
looked at It as if it would’nt exactly do yeti
The Doctor, to adjust himself for the expected
confab, slewed his left leg round and sat in the
Simula side-wise, with his back bowed in a very
epy imitation-of Jim’s position on the fence,
and replied drawllngly: Havon’t quite decided
yet,—want- your advice, you know.”
] “ Well then, don’t—it wont pay,” said- Jim,
> still busy with the whistle; and not in the least
hlmihugged by the Doctor’s professed defer
ence to his opinion, '« You see,” continued
SA^uß&iV,"September
ho, 1 “ they ain’t of much account, ' and it is’nt
worthwhile for ycratnpifr hack your ears and
butter yijui l head for them to swallow you.”
Tho Doctor opened his eyes,
i Jim was done with that subject. Ho tried
the whistle; got a note out of it, shut up his
knifo, changed his position a little, and resumed
tho conversations
1 “ How’s tho old pensioner J”
Doctor, “ There’s nothing tho matter with
him but old ago and loneliness.”
Jim* “I reckon. You tend very regular con
sidering, and I like that. Can you do any
tbiug, do you think, for Botsy Wingert 1 She’s
a nice girl; and ft tan pity of her. She lived
with me a while, and I want her to get well. I
told Boctor S— a hit of my mind, tho other
day at Harker’s vendue, about his neglecting
of her, For I nevor saw a healthy young per-
Bon get the dropsy from tho aguo, if they were
rightly treated. It won’t be much trouble for
you to give her good attention, and you aha’nt
loose any thing by it.”
Doctor. “Look here, Jhn, did you ever hear
ofthe medical student of Doctor Kush who
swallowed a glass frill of the black bile thrown
up bya dying yellow-fever patient, to prove
that the disease was not contagious ?”
Jim. “Tlio mischief lie did!”
Doctor. “ I don’t know. Won’t swear to
it; but,” straightening himself up, “ I know
that a man of tho right grit works in his pro
fession for something else than pay. I’ll cure
Betsy, on my own account, or, I’ll quit phy
sic and turn secretary to a lime-kiln.”
Jim looked as if ho had seen fire before, and
know it from smoko, and was half disposed to
look as earnest as ho really was, which, by-the
by, would have been an act of desperation for
him. He slid himself slowly down from Ills
perch, shook himself up, yawned purposely,
took another look at tho Doctor, which satis
fied him, and calling to new Jim, “Haul in
yoUr tacklo, old fellow, and take that,” pitch
ing the perfected whistle to him, “and make
tracks for home, you’vo fished enough for one
Sunday,Vy Then turning to the Doctor, “You
really think you’vo cured that girl from over
the river, of the rheumatism. [Jim knew he
had.] Was it after all, si real case of rheuma
tism ? [Tlie scamp knew all about it.]” But the
Doctor, if not a tactician, was at least a good
imitator, and after the invariable trick of the
gentleman before him, ho walked into the trap
set for him, knowing that ho could not be
■ caught. ' '
Doctor. “ You were in my shop .(office was
not the name for his half-druggery and half
dormitory,) when she came to mo, and gavo it
as your opinion that her wrist, was out of joint;
it was that bad. She said thilt she had not been
free from pain in it for three years, a minute
while she was awoke, and dream’tof it while
she was asleep. That is six weoks ago, and it
iB as sound as the other wrist now.”
Jim.' “Did you never do any thingforitbnt
bandage the arm just as if it had been broke ?”
Doctor. “ Not a thing, lam a mechanic, if
I’m nothing else.”
Jim. “That’s a fact. When you told the
poor girl that when tho leaders and muscles
were put quiet a whilo, tho thing would get
well of itself, I began to think you’d either
make a spoon or spoil a born before long, and
it was either good luck or good guiding,' for
she is as sound as a horse I believe. But, could
you do any thing for that poor devil. Bob Alter
—that’s another sort of a caso, ain’t it ?”
. . Doctor. “The old Doctor describes it as a
case of inflammatory rheumatism, and one of
the very worst. Do you take any interest in
liim 1 He’s a very had friend of mine, I be
lieve.”
Jim. Well ho is, for he’s not afraid of
you.”
Doctor. “Aha, is that the sort of stuff lie’s
made of?”
Jim. (very quietly,) “Yos, he’s an uncom
mon nice mixture of slink, coward and bully.
I used to lick him every now and then, when
we were hoys, but it did no good. If ho
had’nt been a sneak,, ho would not havo been
so fat and sassy just yet. But he lias fooled his
father-in-law, and got a-head fast. You ought
to see him behind his counter trying to look
respectable to the old Doctor, and old-fashion
to, me, all at once, you know. It almost puts
him out of joint. He’s terrible, when tho com
pany is all right, on the temperance pcoplo;
and he’s all right with them, too, for the blamed
skunk has’nt tho heart to drink himself. Ila sells
by the quart, because if he did’nt, somebody
else would, nnd, get the profit.”
Doctor. “I thought ho was an old friend of
yours.”
Jim. “Friend of mine I I’d like to see the
man' lie ever was a friend to. It would bo good
for sore eyes.’’
Doctor. “Wollthen, what about his rheuma
tism?” v
Jim, “Why, it you really think you could
do any thing for him, I’ll make him send for
you. I’d just like to do it any how, but lie’s
rather too low to play tricks on. What do you
think ?”
Doctor. “ Jim, yon can behavo yourself? ra
knowing and assuring nod for reply.] Well, this
is tho fix ho is in; the doctors liave bled him,
slaughter-house fashion, to reduce tho inflama
tion; bis pulse got wiry and hard under it,
which they mistook for vigor, and they went on
bleeding away for tho symptoms which the
bleeding itself produced, until tho devil’s to
pay and no pitch hot—that’s tho wholo of
it.”
Jim. “By George, you’re right. Can you
do any thing for him?”
Doctor. “That depends upon whether I
can Or not.”
Jim. Ugh I don’t pu'ltho wool over my
eyes. I want him cured. Will you act like it
white man ought towards him ?”
Doctor. “Lcthim sendfor mo, and you’ll see;
and, if he'don’t—”
Jim. “ But ho will. I’m going up there
now.”
Tlio Doctor resnmed his seat, and his home
ward way, reflecting alter this fashion: “ So,
this is tho leader of ali tho vagabonds of tho val
ley, a general mischict maker, and generally un
derstood to be good for nothing and wholly
irreclaimable I But ho Ims a good word to say
for the poor old pensioner, and for Betsy Win
gart; ho watched the tamo girl with a genuino
sympathetic interest, nnd would as lief pay mo
her bill as spond tho amount at a scrub-race;
and is even anxious for that curmudgeon, Bob
Alter. Ho knows men, too; reads tliem like
a book, and accommodates himself to the mis
judging goody r good peoplo around him here,
with ns proud composure as a Greek philosopher
could feel. A strong built, big-brained, good
looking follow, with a hearing faulty in noth
ing hut its weli put-on recklessness; playing
with tho antagonisms of society as provokingly
as an Indian at the stake, but without bis spring
of passion! What is tho wrong in the caso ?
a dislocation; aye, that’s it. Jim must goto
Ohio. Supply him with tho capital, tempt
him with the objects that are on the level of bis
best powers and aspirations, put Idm in tho con
ditions, and he’ll answer the purpose. What a
waste of human worth this mcagreness of things
costs to society. Tho barn-yard fowls arc de
.cidcdly of opinion that if Jim’s wings wore clip-
Eed, and bis claws pared, lio might bo a useful
Ird. Thoy arc tied down nnd held in now,
and that is just what has mado him tlio bird
that he is.”
i The proof of tho proposition is in tlio facts
of his after history. Ho did go to Ohio; got
a quarter section, went to work with a will, was
recognized for what ho was, and became what
ho was intended for. Tlio deviltry of now Jim
got a safe drift, and the Devlins are to-day In
the front rank of progress in the country which
they have so ably contributed to improve.
If there is nothing of yellow-covor interest
in these idlers with whom wo havo been
concerned so long, it is because tliey Crave
only a matter-of-fact portraiture at iny bands.
There is the material tor a dozen novellcttos in
? hem; but there is a social and political philoso
phy still richer 'in servlcablo interest than
all noveldom can yield. I will do what I can
to bring it to the surface; but tho reader must
wait until twenty-five years shall havo wrought
those changes in the condition of tho country
whicli havo moulded tlicso materials into somo
very unexpected forms of manhood.
In my next, I shall bo seriously engaged
with more serious subjects—the Gcrinan fann
ers of our little valley.
