"Will yoiihu.- my body, sir7M
I, Chark-s MarKham, a youns physician,
was sitting alone in a dusky littlo room that
the sign without dignified with the t":;lu of
'Vffii-e" rrhen these words fell upon my
rar. I had jt returned froui viaitijj the
few patients I could boast of, thoroughly
heartsick at the want of humanity in thevorld
wet to the kiti, an ! more than half frozen.
I cannot remember a worse nij:hl, in nil
tespcets. It was cold as the Arctic regions,
and the .-let t that rattled upon the windows
hmiii covered them with a coating of ice. It
had stormed heavily all the day, the stores
were closed, and the r.ide walk venders had
pone under shelter.

when the slransre ami henrt chilling words

' Will y..u Ltiy my body, .sir?"

and turned to see who it ks that-,

And he swallowed it without a murmur,
of thankfulness.

" bvl!" she eselaimed, '"I here amid

"Sit down, and tell me the reason of your
coining here," I almost commanded, as I
placed her in my chair. .-...'
"Ah 1 I remember it all now 1 Remem

"Be calm f I understand that you are in
need and came here for assistance."
"1 came," sho replied, lookii g upon me
with such utter despair thut it made my
blood ruu cold, "I came, doctor, to sell you
my body."
Was I talking to a saue woman, or a ma
uiac ? The latter was certainly my thought,
but I could see nothing in her clear blue eyes
of tbo wandering of insanity. "Sell my bo
dy!"' She Fpokeof it as an every-day
transaction.
"Great heaven!" I exel .imed, laying
my finger upon her pulse, with the expec
tation of finding it bounding with race horse
rapidity, but on tho contrary finding it far
more caliu than my o n ; "you cannot be in
earliest?" - ...-
"I am in earnest God alone knows how
much m earnest. It is'my last resort. Will
you buy it?' Will you give mo some mon
ey for it ?"'
And sho readied out her hand towards
me as a miser would hive done upon hear
ing the sound of jingling gold.
"How can I purchase it? You are yet
alive," I said.
"But 1 will soon die, and then you can
claim it. For the love of heaven, five me a
little, just a little, money,"
And the hitherto dry eyes were flooded
with tears. '
"Why do you wish to sell it? You can
not but understand that it is an unheard of
proceeding. Our profession do not pur
chase bodies before death, no matter what
we may do after."
"I know it I know it ; but I must have
money, and there is no other means left me
to get it. I must have it now."
She wonld have arisen again, but I reso
lutely held her down.
"For what purpose Jo you want money?"
I a.-ked.
"To purchase food, fire, medicine."
"For yourself?"
"Ah, no. Had that been the ca.'o, T nev
er could have come hither. I would have
lain down in the gultcr and died, God knows
ho willingly. But tell me," she contin
ued, almost -fiercely, "will you give me some
money? I must have it."
"If not for yourself, then in ths nni-3 of
heaven for whom would you make such an
awful sacrifice? I-s it one that is near and
dear Irt you?"
"It is my little sister."
The words dropped from her tongue as
the-y miclit have dropped from an anirel's,
and her face wore as holy a liht as if she 1
had been s-Hr -crowned. j
T'.l'r-n she is "sick ?''
"I'.ving! dvina! and I sitting idly here."
"Whydidydli notteil meof this before?"
"lJocaUse I bad begged so long in vain. I
had Muiey to psy a . doeWr, and who
would go forth oh a charitable errand such a
nitrht as this?"
My blood boiled so that I could n"t an
swer. CMuld there be such men? Alas!
reason totd me in a moment that her words
were too true, and I utmost cursed my race.
Without delay I gathered such things as I
thiuaht might be of service, wrapped the
delicate form in a heavy cloak, and with a
few words of comfort frc Sailed out together
into the black nigbt and merciless storm and
coll. I-Virtunately the distance we had to
travel was a short one. A few blocks were
passed, and she led me up several flights of
dismal, creak in p stairs into a room.
"Florence, is that you?"' I heard asked
by what my e:-r convinced hie was a pair of
childish, infantile lips.
"Yes, my darling ; lie still for a mo
ment." "I am so glad. You have been so long
so very, very long away, and I am so. sick,
and cold, and hungry, and it was so dark,
and I have been so frightened at the stiange
noises."
"Excuse me, sir," she said, as she turn
ed and lighted the remnant of a candle;
"excuse ine, but I have been so long away
from L5es-ie."
1 answered not. Her voice bad a melodi
in it, now attuned by love, that I wished to
linger upon my ears unbroken, like the
strains of some sones I have beard, and
which haunted me ibr years.
In a moment, the candle shod a sickly
light around tha little room. Little, in
deed, a-.d unfinished to nothingness ! One
scantily covered bed was all. But within I
saw a sweet, wee faco that tnade me forgvt
all else. I approached it, and laid my hand
upon the pulse of tho little suffeier.
"Who are you?" she asked, drawing
back in alarm. 5
"He is a doctor, Bessie; a dear, good,
kind friend," replied her sister ; and from
that moment she became perfectly passive
in my bands.
It did not require one much learned in
materia medica to see w hat was required.
I made the projwjr prescription", saw that it
was tend -rly . administered, told i the elder
sister that I would be back in a few , mo
ments, and resisting all her attempts to
licht me down the stairs, groped my way
into the street. I had noticed an eating
house at but a Tittle distance as we came
along, and a statement of the case, backed
by the all powerful king of the world, gold,
soon procured the loan of a disused stove, a
couple of chairs, fuel, light, and proper
food, and in a brief half hour that little
room wore something like an air of comfort.
CLEARFIELD,
Another hour, and the eyes of the child
were closed in slumber, and I urged her sis
ter to seek repose, but in vain. "
"At least, lie down and let nie cover you
with my cloak," I urged.
"No, doctor," was the constant reply, "I
cannot. I am so happy. "It must have
been God ibat directed my wandering steps
to you."
And so we sat, with the night wind roar
ing without, watchidg the almost angelic
face of the. peacefully slumbering child sat
and talked of what I was mont anxious to
hear. But the conversation of those long
hours can be condensed into a very bncf
space.
She who would have sold her body for the
sake of giving a little longer of life to her
sister was the daughter of wealthy parents.
But a few years previously, she could have
held her head as high as the highest. But
misfortune came a series of disasters upon
land and sea, against which no human fore
thought could have gturde 1, combined viitb
treachery and ingratitude of the deepest
die, swept away all. In their footsteps
followed the death of her mother, leaving
an infant of but a few months old. The
fond father struggled manfully against the
tide for a brief time, then his health gave
and he followed his wife through the dark
valley and beyond the shining river, leav
ing the cider sister to provide for the
younger.
"For a time," condoned the girl. "I was
able to live comfortably by the sale of the
furniture and articles of value I possessed.
Then but why should I unbosom myself to
a stransrer ?" she aked, stopping suddenly
and looking ni3 fall in the face.
"Because," I replied, wiih a smile at her
earnestness "le ause you have found a true
heart, and one that can feel for you."
"Yes, may kind heaven be thank !"
she replied, ''I feel that it is so. Well I
struggled on fought on were the better
word," she continued, the lines about her
mobile mouth suddenly becoming bard. "I
fought for life, soa.etiuies teaching, some
times obtaining a little sewing, in short
doing anything that my strength permitted,
until sickness came. Still, I gave not away
to. despair. Truly, I was bound to the
stake a sweet one my darling sister. 0!
the insults I received whi'e seeking work, I
shall not speak. They must remain for
ever locked in my breast," and the pabd
face flushed scarlet at the thought.
"And found no employment ?"
"None! 1'iece by piece I ported with
the little furniture I was the possessor of
until what you sl'c was all that remained."
"My poor child!"
"It is true " I saw that she was nerving
herself to tell me something that was pain
ful, nnd would have stopped her, but she
resolutely continued, "It is true, some mon
e3 was offered me by more tht n one man,
but I instantly and indignantly hurled it
back in my insulter's face. Then, great
Heaven! upon t hiss bitter night, with all
hope gone-. I determined to sell my body to
so?Ve surgeon."
What in the name of Heaven could
have put such an idea into your head?"
"I do not know, I cannot tell. Some
where. I had either beard or read of some
thing of the kind."
"You must have been very desperate?"
"On the verge of destruction 1 I had but
one dream, one desire, to save a.y darling
even a single pain."
"Have you no relatives?" Y
"Not a siile one that I know ot. ' Both
of my parents wereouly children, and their
parents came from foreign lands."
She paused and turned to smooth the
hair of the slumtering Bessie.and imprint a
kiss upon the curl-wreathed and snowy
brow ; and I thetignt what desperate trials
one like h'dr must have passed through in
order to bring her mind to look camly upon
giving herself to the knife and the ribald
jestsof the dissecting room ! And I thought
of the sterling truth of her young heart that
cou'd resist the allurements of gold when so
hedged by want and pain in their terribb
shapes. I thought too but she iiitcruptct
me with :
"My kind indeed, I might say my only
friend whom God raised up to me in the
hour when all was darkness and misery, and
black death and a pauper's grave were stat
ing me in the face. My kind friend but I
am have been keeping you from rest."
"Me! A physician's life is one that is
constantly broken in upon and will you par
don me? I have never had u:y heart so
deeply touched, or my feelings so much in
terested in all my fife." "
A faint rose blush crept up from the ex
quisitely moulded throat and mantled the
soft cheeks. She took my hand and pressed
it to her lips, leaving a warm kiss lingering
upon it. Did I suddenly build any castles
in Spain I '
V hen the morning light broke again over
the gay city the storm had ceased and na
ture smiled oold, it is true, but brilliantly.
There was a plentiful breakfast served in
that little room, but the dinner was taken
in far other quarters. " '
As I wi ite these lines, I (with some, at
least, of my dreams of wealth and position
realized) sit in a cozy study and listen to
the wrathful howling of the storm without.
There is a beautiful brown-haired woman
sewing near a sprite of a girl decorating a
snow white kitten with crimson ribbons on
a nig in front of the glowing grate." I look
up suddenly from the book I am reading at
the former. Our eyes meet. ' Are we both
thinking ot the past? It may be so. She
steals softly behind my chair and twines her
arms arouud my neck.
"Darling, do you remember such a night
as this scarcely a year ago T' she asks.
PA., WEDNESDAY,
"Yes. I was thinking of it." ! '
"And of what brought me to yoa?"
"Yes." .
She bends still nearer to me. I feel her
fervent kiss suck a one as only a young
and lovely wile can give; and I hear, as it
were whispered rather by spirit than by
mortal lips ;
"Now, my darling, I am yours body and
soul."
Thank God that is so.
One Hundred Years Ago,
On bund red and ten years ago there was
not a single white man in Ohio, Kentucky,
Indiana and Illinois. Then, what is now
the most flourishing part of America was as
little known as the country around the
mountains of the moon. It was not until
1707 that Boone left bis heme in Noith
Carolina to become the first settler in Ken
tucky. The first pioueers of Ohio did not
settle until twenty years after (bis time. A
hundred years ago, Canada belonged to
Franco, and the whole population did not
exceed a million and a half of people. A
hundred years aco, the great Frederick of
Prussia was performing those great exploits
which have made him immortal in military
annals. ami with his little monarchy was sus
taing a sinvlc-handed contest with Austria,
Itussia and France, the three great powers
of F.urope combined. A hundred years ago
Napo'eon was not born, and Washington
was a modest Virginia colonel, and the great
events in the history of the two worlds, in
which these great but dissimilar men took
loading parts, were scarcely fore-shadowed.
A hundred years ago the United States
were the most loyal part of the British em
pire, and on the jioiiiical horizon no speck
indicated the struggle which within a score
of years thereafter est abli.-hcd the great re
public of the world.' A hundred years ago
there were l ot four newspapers in Ame;ica.
Steam engines had not been imagined and
railroads and telegraphs bad not entered into
the remotest conception of man. When we
come to look back at it through the vista of
history, wo find that to the century passed
has been allotted more important events, in
their bearing upon the happiness of the
world, than almost any other which has
elapsed since the creation.
A Beautiful Passage. The following
is from the revTrics of a bachelor by Ike
Marvel: "A poor man without some kind
of religion is at best but a poor reprobate,
the football of destiny, with no tie linking
him to infinity and the wonditius eternity
that is even worse a flatna witho it heat, a
rainbow without color, a flower without per
fume, A man may in some sort tie his hope
and bis honor to this sbiftingground tackle,
to his business or (he world, but a woman
without that anchor railed faith, is a drift
and a wreck. A man may be in sort of
moral responsibility out of relation to man
kind, but a, woman, in her comparatively is
olated sphere, where affection and not pur
pose is the controlling motive, can find no
basis in any other system or rinbt action but
lhat of faith. A man may ciuze bis tho'ts
to trustfulness, in such poor harborage as
fame and reputation may stretch before him,
but a woman whore can she put her hopes
in storms if not iu heaven ? and that sweet
truthfulness that abiding love that en
during hope mellowing every page and
scene in life lighting them with radiance,
when the storm breaks like an r.rmy with
c mnort. Who can bestow its all but holy
soul, tied to what is stranger th;n army with
cannon? Who has enjoyed the love of a
christian mother, but will echo tho thought
with energy and hallow it with tears?"
Deacon B.. of Ohio, a very pious man.

day morning, as was his custom, the deacon
prayed, after breakfast, but having an unu
sual amount of work to do that day, he cut
his prayer short, took his hat and started
to his work. His wife, being deaf, did not
hear him go out. ind thought he was still
praying. On his return iu the evening, he
was surprised to find her kneeling. . He
stepped up to her and shouter? "Amen,"

"Twenty-five cents apieoe."

"Xo indeed ! they will be dearer yet next
year."
"Wisha, is that so?"
"Yes, sir. and no mistake."
"If that's the case give me four of them,
and that will be enough before they rise."
One night while I lay sleeiiing I had a dream
of joy : I thonght I had a charming wife, a
dariing little boy. I loved, I hugged, I
kissed them I ate them almost whole. My
little boy got angry, my wife began to scold.

JULY 14, I860.
How Mike Eode tie Bull.
iMike took a notion to go in swimming,
and had just got his clothes off, when he saw
Deacon Smith's bull making at hiui. The
btrll was a vicious animal, and had come near
killing ti?o or three persons, consequently
Mike felt rather "jubus." He didn't wart
to call for help, for he was naked, and the
nearest tdace from wl enee assistance could
arrive was the meeting house, which was at
that time filled with worshippers, among
whom was the "gal Mike was paying his
devours too." . So he, dodged tho, bull, as
the animal catue at him, and managed to
catch its tail. He was dragged round till
nearly dead, and when he thought be could
btand it no longer he made up his mind to
holler. And now we will let him tell his
own story :
"So. looking at the matter in all its bear
ings, I cum to the conclusion that I'd better
let some one know wbar I was. So I gin a
yell, louder than a locomotive whistle, and
it warn't long before I seed the deaeon's
two dogs a coming down like as if they were
seeinir which could get thar first. I know'd
who they were arter they'd jine the bull
agin me. So, sez I, old brindle. as ridln' is
as cheap as walkiu' on this route, if you've
no objections, I'll just take a deck passage
on that or' back of yours. So I warn't very
long getting asl ride of hi in. Then, if you'd
been thrr, you'd have sworn that thar
warn't any thing human in that ar' "mix,"
the sile flew so orfully as the critter and I
rolled round the field one dog on one side,
and one on the other, trying to clinch my
feet. , I prayed and cursed, and cursed
and prayed, until I couldn't tell which
I did last, and neither waru't of uu use,
they were so orful'y mixed up.
"Well, I reckon I rid about half an hour
this way, when old brindle thought it time
to stop to tako in a supply of wind and cool
off a little.' So when we got round to a tree
that stood thar, he naturally baited, so sen
I, old boy, you'll lose one passenger sartin.
So I jist clum up a branch, kalkcrlating to
roost till I starved afore I'd be rid around
that ar' way any longer. I war a making
tracks for the top of the tree, when I heard
snthin' a makiu' anorful buzzin' oveiheard.
I kinder looked up, and if thar wasn't
well, tbar's no use a swcaiiu' but it war
the biggest hornet's nest ever Lilt- You'll
gin in now I reckon, Mike, 'cause tbar's no
help for you. But an lie struck me then
that I stood a heap better chance a ridln'
the bull than whar I was. Sez I, old feller,
if you'll hold on I'll ride to the next station
anyhow, let that be whar it will.
So I jist dropped aboard him agin, and
looked aloft to sec w hat I had gained by
cbangin' quarters,. and, gentlemen, I'm a
liar, if thar waru't nigh half a bushel of the
stingin' varmints Teady to pitch into me
when the word 'go' was gin. Well. I reck
on they got it, for ail hands started for our
Company. Soir.e on 'em hit the dogs.about
a quart struck me, and the rest charged on
brindle.
"This time the do?s led off fust, dead
bent fur tho old deacn's.and as soon as old
brindle and I could get under way we fol
lered, and as I was only a deck pasciiger, .1
had nothin' to do with stceriu' the craft; if
I had, we shouldn't have run that channel
anyhow. But, as I said before, the dogs
took the lead brindle and I next, and the
hornets dre'kly arter. The dogs yellin'
brindle hollerio,' and the hornets buzzin'
and stingin.
"Well, we bad got about two hundred
yards frour the house, and the deacon heard
us and cum out. I seed him hold up his
hand, and turn white. I reckon he was
prayin' then, for be didn't expeel to be
Called for so soon ; and it waru't long afore
the whole congregation men, women and
children cum out, and then all hands went
to yellin'. None of 'em had the fust notion
that brindle nnd I l-clonged to this world. I
just turned my head and passed the whole
congregation. I seed 1 he run would be up
soon, for brindle couldn't turn an inch from
a fence that stood dead ahead. Well, we
reached that fence, and I went ashore, over
the critter's head, landing on the other side,
and lay there stunned.
"It warn't long afore some of them as
wasn't sared cum runnin' to see whar I war,
for all hands kalkcrlated that the bull and I
belonged together. But when brindle walk
ed off by himself, they seed how it war, and
one of. 'em said : 'Mike Finake has got the
scrummage once in his life.'
"Gentlemen, from that day I dropped the
courting bizness, nnd never spoke to a ga'
since, nnd when my hunt is nn on this earth
there won't be any more Fim-ks, and its all
owin to Deacon Smith's brindle bull."
