Zclections. I was sent for in great haste to attend a gentleman of respectability, who had been discovered in his room lying senseless on the floor. On arriving at the house I found Mrs. El— in great distress of mind. 'What is the matter with Mr. H—?' I aslced, on meeting his lady, who was in tears and looking the picture of distress.. 'l'm afraid it is apoplexy,' she replied ; found him lying upon the floor, where he had, to all appearances, fallen suddenly from his chair. His face is purple, and though he brerithes, it is with great difficulty.' I went up to see my patient. He had been lifted from the floor, and was now ly. ing upon the bed. Sure enough his face was purple and breathing labored ; but somehow the symptoms did not indicate apoplexy. Every vein in his head and face was turgid, and he lay perfectly stupid ; but still I saw no clear indications of any actual or approaching congestion of the brain. 'Hadn't he better be bled, doctor ?' asked the anxious wife., '1 don't know that it's necessary,' I replied. 61 think if we let him alone it will pass oft in the course of a few hours.' 'A few hours ! He may die in half an hour.' don't think the case is so dangerous, madam.' 'Apoplexy not dan gerous?' •'I hardly think it is apoplexy.'— .1 3 .,rhy what do you think it is doctor l' Mrs. If— locked anxiously into my face. 1 delicately hinted that be might pos sibly have been drinking too much brandy ; but to this she indignantly objected. 'No, doctor. I ought to know about that,' she said. 'Depend upon it the disease is more deeply seated. lam su'l he had better be bled.— Won't you bleed him doctor? A few ounces of blood taken from his arm may give life to the now stagnant circulation of the blood. Thus urged, I, after some reflection, or dered a bow and a bandage, and opening a vein relieved him Of about eight ounces of blood. But he lay as insensible us before, much to the distress of his poor wife. 'Some thing else must be done, doctor,' she urged, seeing that bleeding had accomplished noth ing. 'lf my husbuand is not relieved quick he must die.' By this time several relatives and friends who had been sent for arrived, and urged upon me the adoption of some active means of restoring the sick man to consciousness. One proposed mustard plasters all over his body ; another a blister on the head, and . a third ,his immersion in hot water. I sug gested that it might be well to use a. stomach pump. 'Why, doctor ?' asked one of his friends. 'Perhaps he has taken some drug,' I replied. .Impossible, doctor,' said the wife; 'he has not been from home to-day, and thdre is no drug in, the house.' 'No brandy ?' I ventured this suggestion again. doctor, no spirits, of any kind, nor even wine in the house,' returned Mrs. is an ofitmded tone... I was not the regular family Physician, and had been called in to meet the alarming emergency because my office happened to be nearest to the dwelling of Mr. H--. Feeling my position to be a difficult one, I suggested that the family physician had better be called. 'But the delay, doctor,' urged the friends. 'No harm will result from it, be assured,' I replied. But my words did not assure them. However, as was firm in my resolution not to do any thing more for the patient until Dr. S., came, they had to submit. I wished to make a call of importance in the neighborhood, and proposed going, to be back by of time Dr. S., arrived ; but the friends of the sick man would not suffer me to leave the room. When Dr. S., came we conversed aside for alew minutes, and I gave him my views of the , case, and stated what I bad done Ind why I had done it. We then proceeded to Treating a Case Actively. ALLENTOWN, LEHIGH COUNTY, PA., NOVEMBER 30. 1853. the bedside of our patient; there were still no signs of approaChing consciousness.— , Don't.you think his head must be shaved and blistered ?' asked the wife anxiously.— Dr. S., thought a moment, and then said, 'Yes, by all means ; send for a barber, and also for a fresh fly blister, four inches by nine.' I looked into the face of Dr. S., with sur prise ; it was perfectly grave and evnest. I hinted to him my doubt of the good that mode of treatment would do ; but he spoke confidently of the result, and said that it would not only cure the disease, but he be lieved take away the pre-disposition'thereto, with which Mr. 11— was affected to a high degree. The barber came. The head of ll— was shaved, and Dr. S. applied the blister with his own hands, which completely cover ed the scalp from forehead it remhin on f3r two hours use of the ordinary dressin If he should not recover of the blisier don't feel un will be restored soon after.' I did not call again, butN S. the result stood anxiously around the bed upon.which the sick man lay ; but though the blinker began to draw, no signs of returning con sciousness showed themselves, further than an occasional low moan or an uneasy toss ing of the arms. For full two hours the burning plaster parched the tender skin of El.'s shorn head, and was then removed ; it had done good service. Dressings were ap plied, repeated and repeated again, but still the sick man lay in a stupor. 'lt has dope no good ; hadn't we better send for the doc tor ?' suggested the wife% Just then the eyes of H— opened, and he looked with half stupid surprise from face to face of the anxious•group that surrounded the bed. 'What in the mischief is the mat ter ?' he at length said. At the same time, feeling a strange sensation about his head, he placed his hand rather heavily thereon. 'Heavens and earth (he was now fully in his senses.) 'Heavens and earth, what ails my head?' 'For mercy's sake keep quiet,' said the wife, the glad tears gushing over her face. 'You have been very ill ; there, there now !' and she spoke soothingly, 'don't say a word, but lie very still.' 'But my head I What's the matter with my head ? It feels, as if scalded. Where's my hair Heavens and earth Sarah, I don't under stand this. And my arm, what's my• arm tied up in this way for ?' 'Be quiet, my dea4 husband, and explain it all. Oh, IA very quiet ; your life depends upon it.' Mr. H— sank back upon the pillow from which, he had risen, and closed his eyes to think. He put his,hand to his head and felt it tenderly all over, from temple to temple. and from nape to forehead. 'ls it a blister ?' he at length asked. 'Yes, dear ; you have been very ill : we feared for your life,' said Mrs. El—, affectionately ; 'there have been two physicians in attendance.' H—closed his eyes again ; his lips mo ved. Those nearest were not much edified by the whispered words that issued there from. They would have sounded very strangely in'a church or to ears polite and refined. After this he lay for some time quiet. "Threatened with apoplexy, I sup pose I" he said interrogatively. "Yes, dear, d replied his wife. "1 found you lying insen sible upon the floor, on happening to come into your room. It was most providential that I discovered you when I did, or you would certainly have died." H—shut his eyes, and muttered some thing with an air of impatience : but its meaning was not understood. Finding him out of danger, friends and relatives retired, and the sick man was left alone with his family. "Sarah," he said, "why in the name of goodness did you permit the doctors to butch er me up in' this way ? I'm laid tip for a week or two, and all for nothing." "It was to save your life dear." "Save the devil." • ! there, do for mercy's sake be quiet everything depends upon it." With a gesture of impatience El—shut his eyes, teeth and hands, and lay perfect ly still for - some Minutes, Then he turned his face to the wall, muttering in a low, petu lent voice, "too bad'!" I had not erred in my first and last im pression of El.'s disease ; neither had Dr. S. although he used a very extraordinary mode of treatment. The facts of the case were these : H. had a weakness ; he could not taste wine nor strong drink without bring tempted•into ex cess. Both myself and friends were griev ed and mortified ai this; and they, by ad monition, and he, by good resolution, tried to bring about a refaran ; but to see was to taste, and 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 so as his coachman kept a well-filled bottle for him in the carriage house, to which he not unfrequently resorted ; but an ardent devo- - tion to this bottle brought on the supposed' apoplexy. Dr. S. was right in histmode of treating the disease after all, and Otd . ,not err After we in supposing that it would reach,,the. pre disposition. The cure was eflectdal. H. kept quiet on the subject, and bore his shaved head on his shoulders with as much philosophy as he could muster. &wig, af ter the sores made by the blister had disap peared, cone ealed the barber's work until his own hair grew again. He never ventu red upon wine or brandy again, for fear of apoplexy. When the truth leaked out, as leak out such things always will, the friends of H. had many a hearty laugh ; but they wis ly concealed from the object of their merriment the fact that they knew anything more than appeared of the cause of his sup posed illness. A Texas Ranger's Best Shot. Wilson and Cameron stood apart from their companions. With (aided arms and thoughtful laces, they watched the shadows of night stealing over lake and chapparal. "An hour like this casts a spell upon my spirit," said Cameron. "I love to see the glare of the day lade and give place to the dim, placid twilight." • "I have eimilar feelings," replied Wilson; "but I like night best when more advanced towards the slow hours, and the moon and stars 'are - bri o fly beaming. —Cameron in de. rw reply, and the parties remained silo t. Wilson was the first to speak. "That's a h avy rifle of yours," he said, glancing at the weapon upon which Camer on was leaning. "I dare say it bus been of service to you in its time ?" "No money could induce me to part with it, lecause 1 have proved its metal on many occasions. Did I ever tell you of an adven ture that Ponce had near the Red River?" 'You never did ; I should like to hear it,' said Wilson. "Several years ago," resumed Cameron, "I was hunting near Cross Timbers, not far,-, from Red River. The Indians were then troublesome, and frequently committed their devredations on the Irontier settlement ; but I was fond of hunting, and cared little for them willing to trust to my own courage and ingenuity in any emergency that might oc- ' cur. 1 carried the same rifle, and was cal led one of the best shots in the country., Many people said the piece was too heavy for common use ; but I was accustomed to it. and it didn't feel burthenaome to me—and when I lifted, it was sure to do the right thing, for what animal could carry oil an ounce and a half of lead, skilfully spread on its errand ? HavNiti discovered Indian signs one day, I thought it best to change my hunting ground, and so put a considerable distance between me and the spot, and encamped on the wide prairie, bounded on the east by the Cross Timbers. Not long after this event lewas sitting on the batik of a small stream, resting my weary limbs after a long and fa tiguing hunt, when I was fired upon and slightly wounded. I was fortunate enough to. discover the marksman, who proved to be an Indian, of what tribe I do not remember. I instantly shot him dead, and then preceived that he was not alone, for one of his bretbren was with him, who made good his escape. Time passed on, and I was undisturbed in my amusements for a long time. One day, not feeling very well, I returned to my camp sooner . than usual. I had laid down to sleep, but Could not. 1 felt uneasy and nervous, and so arose arid went on the prairie. The grass was not very tall, and the hot suns of the season had dried it until it was crisp, and tattled as I walked through it. I ascended a gentle swell and lociked around me. The scene was a grand one. On one hand were the. Cross Timbers dim ly seen in the distance, 'resembling a dense wall of wood built with human hands, while in every direction the prairie stretched away until lost in the distance. The sun was set ting lowond looked like a sunset on the sea. As my eyes Wandered from point to point, they were suddenly fixed upon a %solitary figure several hundred yards distant, at the foot of the lung swell or roll upon which 1 •was standing. He stood in open apace, and I at first won dered how that could be, as the grass was so high in every other place; ,but the affair soon explained itself. More careful exami nation showed me that the solitary object was an Indian, and his object in packing up the dry grass Was evident ; he was going to fire the prairie it was doubtless the same fellow that had escaped at the time I had fired upon. Ho had discovered my retreat and was about to revenge himself in a sin gular manner. The wind was blowinefresh towards me, and if the grass had-been set on fire, no pow er on earth could have saved• me, for the fleetest horse could not run fast enough to escape its devouring flames.' A terrible dread of that kind of death came over me. I stood like one fascinated, and gazed at the preparation of the savage. He stood in the middle of the open apace he had made, with" a blazing torch in his hand. Innumerable, thoughts rushed through my mind in,anin-• scant of time,: I was never so completely' pnralyed and ituPified before in .my, life.— The power. of fh'ought seemed to be the 'only power left me; and ,thatmaa stimulated to an unnatural degree. The past, present and future were reviewed and speculated upon in that brief and broken fragment of time in which the savage stood waiting for the brand to burn more brightly before he thrtist it into the grass. Yes, my destiny was to be burned 1 Some hunter or traveller would find my,.body charred or blackened ; and others, after a time would pass my boned bleaching in the sun. 1 shuddered, my eyes felt hot, my throat dry, and I imagined that I felt the flames creeping over me, If it had been a danger that 1 could have battled with, or if 1 could have seen any chance of escape depending upon my own exertions it would have been different; but now all 1 could do was to stand and stare the most dreadful of all deaths in the face. You must remember all these ideas and reflections run through my mind in the short est appreciable space of time ; for you must know that the sudden proipect of great dan• ger, - front which there is no apparent Mode of escape, impart to the brain a horrible fa culty of thought of which the mind at case can form no possible conception, I closed my eyes in prayer, and commen ed my soul to God ; but it was impossible for me to close my eyes against the one great and absorbing idea in my mind—that of he. ing burnt up like a vile reptile that crawls in the %yeas. My lids unclosed and as they did so, my eyes rested upon my trusty riff ; it was the first time I had thought of it, for the distance was great between me and the enemy ; but now it looked like an old friend, the only one that had the power to save me. 1 embraced the thought that the sight of my rifle called up—a species of joy which is nearly overpowered by an agonizing feel- mg. One chance still remained ; a small chance it is true ; but still a chance; and despair cannot paralyze and subdue the heart, while one faint hope remains. I lifted the instru ment upon which hung my destiny. As my glance ran over the intervening distance, felt bow desperate indeed was my prospect of life, for an hundred good marksmen might try their skill in vain in aiming at an obj-!ct so far off. Then I remembered that my weapon was of uncommon calibre and weight, and would throw a ball farther than any I had ever seen. I recollected also that I had loaded it that very d,ay with uncommon care, and for a long shot. The Indian moved the torch, and was about to apply it to the combustible rnateri al ; there was no time to lose. The rifle came to my shoulder quick and firm, and I braced up my nerves for a steady aim with a strong effort of the will. I looked throUgh the double sights and the muzzle covered the Indian's head. My heart seemed to stop beating, held in the grasp of that terrible sus pense. It was but an instant—then the rifle sent an ounce and a half of lend on its mis sion, with a crack that was unusually loud and sharp,and a rectal which threw me back a few paces. 'The smoke curled away, but I dared not look., I passed my hand slowly across my forehead, for my brain was throbbing pain fully. Every moment I expected to be greet ed by a dense smoke from the burning prai rie, and to hear the hissing of . the burning flame ; but nothing orate kind occurred, and I ventured to look towards the spot where the savage had stood with his torch ; I took courage; reloaded my rifle, and hastily walk ed towards the place. 'I reached it—the Indian lay upon his back, the brand, half extinguished, beside him : an ounce and a half of lead had pass ed through his head. I sank doWn 'over powered with gratitude, and the various emotions which such an incident was calcu lated to inspire. 'This was the greatest shot I ever made. and probab ly shall wondernever equal it again.— Can you that I tun attached,twiny rifle ?' "Not at all I" said the Captain' earn, estly—"l should never part. with it if it was mine !"

A man Who then lived on the farm now, occupied by Mr. H.- , --,was one ,autumb NUMBER 9. engaged in felling trees at some distance from his house. His little son eight year* old, was in the,.habit, while his mother wa' busy with household cares, of running ont into the field and woods around the house and often going where the father was at work. One day, after the frost had robbed the trees of their foliage, the father left his work sooner than tisual, and started for home. Just by the edee of the forest he saw a curious pile of leaves—without stop ping to think what had made it, he cauti ously removed the leaves, when what was. his astonishment to find his own darling boy lying there sotrnd asleep l Twos bin the work of a moment, totake up the little "steep- er, put in his place a small log, carefully re placed the Itetves, and conceal himself among the nearest bushes, there to winch the result. After waiting a short time he heard a wolf's diStant howl, quickly followed by an nother and another, till the whole woods seemed alive with the fearful sounds.. The howls came nearer, and in a few min utes a large gaunt, savage-looking wolf leap ed into the opening, closely followed by the whole pack. The leader sprang directly upon the pile of leaves, and in an instant scattered them in every direction. As soon as he saw the deception, his look of fierce; ness and confidence changed to that of the most adject fear. He shrank back, cower ed to the ground, and passively awaited his fate ;,for the rest enraged by the supposed cheat fell upon him, tore him in pieces and devoured him on the spot. When they had finished their comrade; they wheeled around, plunged into the for- ! est and disappeared ; within five minutes from their first appearance not a Wolf was in sight. The excited father pressed his child to his bosom, and thanked the kind Provi dence which led him there to save his dear boy. The boy, after playing till he was weary had lain down and fallen asleep, and, in that situation the wolf had fond him, and cover ed him with leaves, until he could bring his comrades to the feast ; btu himself furnished . the repast.
