THE GOOD PHYSICIAN-
HV W. O EATON.
After a colK'i itn's education ,nnd 6tudy
inj; Hicdioine with a physician of liiuh rc
putc iu an Atlautie city, Dr. Albert Her
man, young, poor, modest, nnd sensitive,
put up his sign, and was duly prepared
to commence medical praetioe. Long be
fore a year ol'bis patient and painful wait
ing had dapped, he became disheartened,
for he pojse.-scd none of the rude hoaet
fulneas of a charlatan ; and the young
physician had to contend with great com
petition, unfriended, and without cnpitul,
with which he could well have atToidcd
to wait.
The wealthy preferred and oould com
mand the services ol established and ex
perienced praoiioiiors ; and ffw v. ho came
to Dr. Herman, were poor, and eomc of
tin iu. so poor that humanity made his aid
to them gratuitous.
Moreover, ho was tnorbtdlv sensitive in
regard to a slight deficiency in I lis hoar
ing, coirraeted from a severe cold, and
become chronic ; and this partial deafness
he w.is compelled to admit, when in the
chamber or the sick, who wore, therefore,
obliged to apeak more loudly than thoy
could without painful and unsecmingly
effort
Under these mortifications, he consulted
with a friend, who told him that if he
would succeed he must subdue his bash
fulness, and bo rough iu n rough world ;
aud he was obliged to seek better furtuno
in the growing West;
IIo adopted this oounsol, removed to a
small town iu tho Western country, nnd
now, Irom sheer nerecsity , pushed his way
into practice, lie was found skillful, his
reputation grew up with the lising towii)
and at tho age of fifty ho was a rich man,
with a fine estate, made elegant by his
liberality and good ta.sto ; groves, lawns,
hills, streams, shrubbery and flowers
adorning and diversifying tho quiet and
healthy derncMit!, and presenting obeerful
views from tho mansion they surrounded.
He had married early after bis arrival
in this town , but at tho time of which we
now speak, ho had been a widower, and
tbo loss of his children had left him child
less. Kind to all, his deportment was yet
shaded by melancholy, Somo attributed
this to tho loss of his wife and children :
others romantically adding that ho bad
been remarked for a sad way at times,
and that it might bo owing to tbo loss of
some early lova, or some otbor ecoret din
appointment; and in reality it might bo
tho rcgrolful memory of old homo friends
and plaoos bo could not now livo among,
grown wedded to this long-acoustomed
spot, wkoro, undor Providence, bo had so
long prospered, And religious and char
itablo without oetontation, as ho was, n
U'oud advisor among hta neighbors, a set
tlor uf disputes, nnd generally beloved
tho townspeoplo hardly know what to do
without him.
Ono summer night, Dr. Herman was
roasod from slumber by his man-servant,
wno stated that a htllo boy was below,
who said that bis mother was suddenly
taken ill, and ho feared sbo was dying.
Hastily drosoing, tbo physician descended
and found tbo boy, a child of ten, sobbing
in the hall.
On inquiry, he learned that the boy'o
father, a poor man named Frederick Lane,
hod been long absent in tho war, leaving
a wifo and ohildrcn at homo. With her
fiusband's pay and bur own offorts, Mrs.
Lano had contrivod to eke out a icanty
subsistence for herself and her littlo ones;
but for several weeks past her onlcebled
health had rendered her unable to work,
and tidings had now come that tbo soldier
had been killed in a Iato battle; and this
shock, added to her long privations, wor
rimonts and aioknass, had imperiled tho
unfortunate woman's life.
The story of such distross did not fall
upon a cold car ; and taking tho boy by
tho hand, tho physioian went with him to
a remote part of the town, in an obsoure
abode, whero tbo poor family dwelt.
On his entering, tho suffering woman,
apparently about thirty years of oge, was
found sitting up, thin and deathly palo.
her daughters beautiful child of six years,
bathing her temples with water, her own
young face wot with tears.
The invalid oould scarcely speak at
first, but by tho aid of omc rcstorativos
which tho physician bad brought, she re
covered sufficiently 'to converse with him,
but in a feeble voico and broken senten
ces.
She was in rapid consumption, she tbo't,
induced by hard work and prolonged anx
toty on acoount of her husband. Since
her sickness debt had stared her in the
faco; and tho hope which had kopt com
plete despair at bay, had been tho thought
that, as the term of her husband's enlist
ment was soon to expire, his return wo'd
set matters right with tbo creditors, and
furnish bor the protection and support
which sho and tho ohildrcn so much need
cd. Rut yesterday she received a loltor
from a comrado of Mr. Lano, stating that
he had fallen in battle, and a mortal faint
ncss had soiscd upon her, whilo brooding
alone upon bcr wocs,and she felt compelled
to send for medical aid, us her last hour
seemed approaching.
"You inu't have courage, my dear
madam,"' said Dr. Herman, "and rely
upon it I will render you every assistance
iu my power. This is a deplqrablo caso
truly ; but your oondition is not so serious
as your distress oasses you to im ngine
Iltvo you no friends ?"
"I have, but they are few, and, alas !
poor also Thoy havo supplied m with
the little they oould sparo from their own
necessities, but oh, it could bo but little
and I delayed anplyinrr to the town a
long us I could, because I thought that
Frederick would soon be with mo again,
and then the humiliation would bo un
necessary.
"1 wish
had known of this beforo,
Mrs. Lmo. It would havo sparod you
much privation and aching of the heart.
God alone can console you for the loss of
your husband ; and though I feel howdis
trciaing it must bo for you to reflcot upon
the helplessness of these young ohildrcn,
let that very reflection ncrvo you to livo
for them. Trust me, you shall want no
longer for the necessaries of life. Feel
no delicacy in acoepting this trifle of mon
ey, and when morning comes supply your
immediate wants. Proper food and re
poiio of mind aro what you maiuly ncod,
and that composuro will bo bastenod by
the assuraiico that I am aware of all and
consider it a privilege to assist you, out of
the itb'uudauco with which God has bleat
me. Try and cheer up. madam. Brighter
days will surely como to you and your
affectionato children. I will say no more;
You nocd sloop. To morrow I will call
again ; and, in the meantime, rest in the
consciousness that you and your ohildron
have found an able and a willing friend
in ut, Herman, boou nignt, ana goou
night, children. God will bless you for
the lovo you bear your mother.
With these words, the physician re
turned bomo,and slept none the less sound
ly for bis long walk and his bsneyolont
act. '
As soon as ho had gono, tbo widow
bade bcr ohildron kneel with her, and with
bands upraised above their orphan heads,
bo uttered a prayer for their dead father,
and entreated the blessing of Heavon upon
thorn and upon him who had been so
prompt and kind at the oall of her wrotok
cdnosi : and then retiring to rest, tho
poor woman sank into n calmer and doep
or steep than sbo had for a long time
known ; for tho kind voioo and looks of
tho good man haunted even her droams
and did much to "raze out tho written
troubles of tho brain" which had for years
oppressed her.
Surely, if there aro guardian angels
commissioned to watoh over tho friendless,
and lift the soul suddenly out of darkness
when alllioiions crowd inoit thickly, Bomc
suoh good spirit had that night takou oom-
passion upon her, converting hor cxtromi
ty into an agent of reltef,and smiled upon
tho clouded sorrow to leuvo a rainbow
there.
The sun was not an hour high, when a
knock at tho door, answered by lttlo Fred
dy announced the arrival of a man who
landod tho boy a sealed cnvelopo, saying
that it oontained money due to her. Tho
man thon left without stating who had sent
him. When his mother tobo the hov rravn
- -
her tho packet. It was oponod and found
to inclose fifty dollars ,but'no nolo by which
she might have told from whom it had
come,
Freddy stid tho man seemed to think
he did not know him, but tho bearor was
Thomas Winsbrow, the hired man of Dr
Herman ; and this satisSod Mrs. Lano
that thcro had been no mistake, and that
the bounties of tho good physician were
not confined to mere words of reputation.
The possef-sion of so much money, with
whioh she could pay hor most pressing
dobts,was better than medicine to her,ond
sbo did not hesitate to make use of it that
very morning when her most craving cred
itors oallcd to know what she was going to
do, now that her husband was rcporiod
dead. She paid them, and their anxiety
concerning him was greatly lessened.
The payment of these debts eaused the
money to go as suddonly as it had come,
vanishing like shavings in tho fire; so that
in the courso of tho day, when a few poor
but sympathizing neighbors called, sho
consulted with them as to tho best moans
of parting with tho greater portion of her
furnituro, for she did not now hope for
much farthor assistance from tho kind
hearted doctor.
Alas, lor hor ! sho hatl not been used to
evidences of continued generosity, save
from hearts whoso emotions are their grca
test riches.
Thcso poor proplo could not but ill ad
vise. They were reluctant to say how ;
for to part with hor household goods,thosc
dumb but constant friends, so dear to a
domestic heart, from long sorvico and as'
socistion, seemed like a step toward utter
desolation,
In tho midst of their sad intorview,Dr
Ilarman callod again, according to prom
ise, and his cheerful faoo presontcd a sin
gular contrast to the gloom around him.
After further inquiries he proposed a solu
tion of the difficulty.
"You aro aware, Madam," said he,with
a smilo, "that I am an old aud cxporione.
cd physician, and I havo seldom failed in
any oases which I did not consider hopo-
lcssfrom the first. Yours is not hopeloss
As your medical adviser, I will say that I
know of a remedy. It will bo a partial
one, to bo suro ; but it ts, to lrut in God'
to hopo on, and to follow my prescriptions.
Mrs. Lane said that Bho felt satificd to
trust entirely to his better judgment.
''Then, my dear Madam, my first pre
scription is for you to give up this gloomy
house ; keep all your furnituro, and btorc
it at mine, and remain there with your
children, making my homo your homo, at
least till your health shall bo completely
restored. You will find that my house
keeper, Mrs, Janet Winsbrow, is a kind
and worthy woman. The sohoolhouso and
ohurcb aro as near thoro as here ; and tl o
pleaeanter place will aid your rccdvery."
There was a prescription whioh the
dewncast and now astonished woman did
dot Gnd difficult to take ; aud tho speedy
resuit'was, that by tho aid of tho faithfu)
man.sorvant,Thomas Winsbrow,lho goods
were all carefully removed and stored, and
Mrs. Lano and her children wcro placed in
possession of two handsome adjoining
rooms, from tbo windows of whioh sho
could daily bo regaled by braoing air and
charming landsoapo; and here, in hor new
homo, how long to last tbo knows not, sho
was enjoined to road, walk, rido, and keep
her mind as oalm as possible Sho found
the medicino he ordored but trifling, and
hit conversation a solaco ; and one day
sho alluded to this, and etatod hor opinion
that plaeo, rathor than mcdioino, had
gradually inoreascd hor strongtb and
chcorfulnosa.
"You are right," he replied, with a
smilo, "Tho harmless stuff; I havo roo
ommonded has boon moro to inspire faith
and hopc,than to act othorwisoon tho ays
torn. This scenery -God's painting and I
His breath, tbispuro arc, aro oporating
very favorable for you. Tho mind cor
rodes tho body often ; and when I can
''minstor to a mind diseased," it sometimes
claims almost cxolusivo attention."
'This beautiful placo U as obeerful as it
i romantic," she roplicd ; ''though I havo
been aeoustomcd to oouplo romanco with
what li melancholy, for my own early his
tory had much of romanco in it, joined
with as much of sorrow,"
This vaguo allusion, led her, at bis de
sire, to an explanation,tho substanco being
that in hor native city, from whioh her
father's family wcro moving when sho was
but four years of ago, sho strayed away
from the housn, while thoy were busy with
iho confusion, and becamo lost. She had
contrived to stroll on board a vcsscl,whore
tho little wanderer was discovered fast
aslcop after the vessel had put to sea.
On bia return, tho captain made fruit
loss inquiries as to tho whereabouts of tho
child's parents, and conoluded to adopt
her as bis own.
At the age of fourteen, the captain s
wife, who had long been unkind to her,
lurncd her adrift,whilo lie Wae absent from
homo. Making her way to a faotory-town
she had earned her livelihood lor a number
of years, till her marriage and removal to
tho West, never having heard further ol
hor parents; but the dreas whioh sho had
worn when sho was lost, had been cara
fully preserved, and was 6till in her pos
session.
Dr. Herman had listened gravely and
with fixed interest to this brief narrative
and at its conclusion he oddly remarked
"Do you believo in second-sight ?"
She answered in the negative
"I do ; I am possessed of it, and wil
prove it." And ho now describcd.minute
ly, the child's dress of whiob sho had spo
ken.
"It is correct ; but you do not surpris
me, for my children must havo shown it to
you
"No," was his reply ; "and I can toll
vou more about this dress. Tho city o
which you speak is my nativo city ; and I
havo good reason to remember tho detail
of this Itttlc dress,for I am the elder broth
cr of the child who wore it, and advertise
for the recovery at tbe timo, when wo
woro moving to a distant city. Were you
too young to rcrccmbcr your name?
"Oh no I" replied Mrs. Lane, pale and
tremulous at this disclosure. "I remem
bor very clearly. It was Maud Maud
Herman."
That is tho namo 1 Ob, Maud ! my dear
sister, what marvel of Provideneo is thi
which has so wonderfully brought us to
pother, in this distant place, and afters
manv vcars of separation i i was a man
then, and you but littlo mors than an in
fant. It makes mo think that tho interest
IJiave taken in you was inspired, not by
any common sympathy for distress,but by
some mysterious law of instinct, which
moved mc, a brother, to show a brother's
lovo."
"It seems so. But, perhaps it was seo-
ond sight," she auswerod, smiling through
her toara.
"I certainly have had a second-sight at
you," replied he ; "and now that you aro
old enough to go alone, I am sure it will
not bo tho last."
It is only ncoessary to add, of Dr. Her
man and his lato found sitter, that as her
troubles bad como in troops, so, too, did
her blessings ; tbo roturn of hor husband
from a Southern prison, filling tho arms
of a fond wife instead of a patriot's gravo,
completing tho sum of hor happiness
whilo the good physioian basks in the sun
shine of rewarded benevolence, without
which he might nover havo seen his sister
more.

National Debts and U. S. Stocks.
Tho creation ol national dobts is not a I
modern improvement, but tho ability of a
great nation to provido for a great dobt,
and to mako it tho most convenient and
best form of personal proporty, is a mod-
em wonder. Tho dobt of Groat Brition
was begun by raising u million stcrimg

A Singular Tradition. Among tho
Sominolo Indians there is a singular tra-
dition regarding tho white man's origin
and superiority. Thoy say that when tho
Great Spirit made the rarth, ho also made
throe men, all of whom were fair complex-
ioncd ; and that after making them, he
led them to tho margin of a small lake,and
bado them loap in and wash. Ono obey-
od, and came out of tho water puro and
fairer than beforo ; tbe second hesitatod a
moment, during which timo tho wator.ag-
itatod by tho first, had beoomo muddied,
and when ho bathed he come up copper-
oolored ; tho third did not leap in until
tho water became blck with mud, and ho
camo out with his own color. Then tbo
Great Spirit laid beforo them three pack
ages, and out of pity for hia misfortuno in
color, he gave tho blaok man tho first
clioioc, lie took hold of each of the pack-
ages, and having felt tho woigbt, ohooso
tbo heaviest ; the coppor-colorcd man then
ohooso the next heaviest, leaving the whito
man tho lightest. When tho packages
wero opened the first was found to contain
ppados, hoes and all the implements of la-
bor ; tho eocond unwrapped hunting,Gsh-
ing and warlike apparatus ; tho third gavo
tho white man pens and paper, tho on-
ginca of the mind the means of mutual,
mental improvement, the social link oi"
humanity, tVo foundation of tho whito
man's superiority.
