that you know him now. At that lime lie
was neither oflicei of the Legion of Honor,
nor Profes4r of the Faculty of Paris. Hardly
was he known to some few 'companions of
his studies. The horses (bat drew his car
riage were not then born; the pole of his
landau was flourishing green in the ;lorest.
He had obtained his title of physician, and
lived in a poor garret—as one says—as if there
were any garrets tliat are rich ;and to accom
plish this mi.° able result, to have his paint
ed bedstead, his tuble of sham trahoga4,
two chairs-wretchedly stuffsrd, and his books
—what efloos hid it not cost him !
Have you ever known any of these imfe•
fatigable young sindots, bola in the hum_

their ten, twenty best years of life, without a
thought or a care for the pleasures of their
age or the passing day?—youthful stoles
who ❑Xarclr with firm step and alone towards
an end which, alas! all do not attain !

so' modest”—so. silent, that hardly was he
known in the house. On Ihr:filmy - el his ar
rival, he had said M the porter, or rather
porteress, , Madarn, 1 am .a doctor—if any
one should want me." This was all the p.ulc
lieify of the dew doc s ior—his sole announce
ment, his only advertisomenti As his fellot
lodgers could gather nothing4l:tim to t rnfi
ty or excite curiosity—as Inarti, nirequenten
door wa, always Foreny elosO, they soon
ceased to concern themSelves.about him.--
His name even was.fergotten ;.they simply
called him the doctor—and wits this title our
readers also must Le contenietindess•then
own ingenuity should enitblet hem to dis..
cover another.
One night our doctor heard tiinccustorneti
noises in the house, doors starr4ing, people
walking to ant; fro. Presently sonic one
knocked at his door—verily at his duar.—
What Wasitl fas-the patient come at'last
—that first patient? so anxiotuly expected!
He was dressed in an instant,
'The Counaeseis:tlying I' some one ctietl
through the door. 'Come tlirettly!'
Ile/was at her bedside iii a minute
The Countess! Sea was the title given
in derision.to_recisely the poorest and most
miserable old woman in the house. She
had been at one period of tier life in the sir
vice of a noble family as' fernnre•de clumbre
and as -a woman who had seen soideihMg of
the great world, she held unqualified stran
gers at a certain distance, and, to use a com
mon phrase, kept herself to herself. This
had procured her the ill will and ill opinion
of several other old clones inhabiting the
house, who made her the subject of their
perpetual scrThdal. ‘Vithout doubt she had
poisoned her last- master ) and could Lot look
a Clnistian m the lace ; or at vary least she
had robbed him. Did you ask for proofs?—
she had a treasure stitched into a mattress.
But she was_neat ly dying with hunger I Yes
the niggard'. She starved herself,— she
Could not spend her treasure.
Monstrous inventions! The povetty of
the Countess as tltey called her in mockery,
was complete. Niggard she was, and had
good reason to be so, in order to subsist on
the little annuity she had connived, in the
days of her service, to scrape trelier. For
the rest, as we have no a islioe disguise the
truth, the Countess was s by no means -an a
miable person—bitter and selfi,h, hostile to
all the world, as ye:lumen:. ash.r dc-tractors,
and wiktiout Fitg. for others, utro LLttJr.tsd nlutu
are who have suffered much themselves.
,
She was noteStretchedmoiloVileas on her
bed. The old crones had comif'ithout her
lees.from monthly than to discover the se-
crets of 4 lier den, the ncecss,tp tvluch Old had
hitherto strictly defended. :ho held in her
left hand a small packet, wrapped up in half
a pocket handkerchief, which she grasped
convulsively. It was the trcasure,:hey all ex
claimed.
11cr case was a grave one—a congrstion
ot the brain. The doctor bled her, and then
wrote his prescription—his fiat ! The bleod•
Mg brought the Countess to, herself. When
op heard him tell one of. the bystanders to
;go to the chemist and get the potion,—
'Potion P she exclaimed, laying hold of
the paper, tl." want no potion—l am not-111.—
Do you Min , I have money to pay fur your
drugs? Go away ! all of you—go{'
She crumpled the prescription lth her hand
and was about to throw it on the floor, when
something in the paper apparently airested
• her. She read the prescription, and turtling
tot the doctor with a manner quite changed
and subdued, and asked how much it would
oust? She then opened the little packet she
had held till then so jealously in her hand.-:
All the old crones stretched forwent. A low
franc-pieces and some'great sous, were alt

The next morning when the Doctor visit

. visit was an early one—to his surprise, the
was on foot, with sleeves tucked up, sweep

abode. Ile was aoonished. The shock
whieli she had ree:eiv'ed the darbefor?, in

her restoration. She was quite gay;

pleased, only yesterday she was obliged to
go out—:it'was absolutely necessary. There
was so rn,uch gentleness in her altered none

tins us an.alattniq symptom in her case.
However, it was not so. Iler health, day
by day improved, and the relOon between
the patient and her medical attendant became
more and more amicable. She ploposed,
by way of some return, to assist him in his
bachelnr housekeeping. It would give her

In a moment lie was at the door of the
Countess. Ile paused a moment before he
knocked. There was from the landing

Ile was soon installed in a more conve
nient rip:tit:nem, better famished, acid sup
plied; above all, with a more abundant li
brary. The young Doetorwas radiant . With
v.pe. Yet he did cot twit his old quarters
of the tarn. It need tmt be said that he
took formal laava . al 1/ le first' patient . , the
Countess.
From this time every thingprospered with
him. As it generally happens, the first dif
ficulty conquered, everything , succeeded to
his wish. It is the first turn of the wheel
which , costs so much; once out of the rut,
and the carriage, rolls. fly degrees a ICtle
circle of clients was formed, wl - ich augmen

Like the generality of the profession, he
now divide his day into two portions; the
morning lie devoted to his visits, the after
!entrain to the reception, of his patients.—
Returning t..) his. home one day' little be-
'tore the accustomed hour, he perceived a
crowd of persons collected in the street
through which he was passing—Perhaps
some accident had happendd, and his pres
ence might be usefal. -Ile made .his way,
therefore, through the crowd. Vetno where
discovered any 'object which could have col
lected it. Ile was merely surrounded on:
every side by groups engaged in earnest yet
subdued conveisation. 4 The greater part
were women, and both men .and women
,wero generally of a mature age, and of that
sort of physiognomy which ono can only
describe as odd—laces ready made for the
pencil-of the caricaturist. -The Doctor who
had no idle :nue, was about to make his es•
eape, when a general movement todk place
r tiro crowd, and Ile found himself bore
along irresistibly with the rest 'through a'
large door, which it seemed had just opened,
into a spacious hall — or - amphitheatre; At
the upper end a stage; on the stage a large,
ssrangely-fashioned '•heel was placed, and
I,)y the side of the Wheel stood a little child,
dressed in a sky-blua tunic, with a rod girdle
round its waist, its hair curled and lying
upea its shoulders, and a 'bandage across its
eyes. The Wheel moil the child formed to.

That very evening, however, lie Was wai-'
ted on by the swne old gentleman in brown
chat alid,,grey hairy, who was seen speaking
to her at the lonely. Ile came with a rue
ful lace requesting him to visit / immediately
Madame —, giving the Countess her right
name, which it is now too late in our story
to intioduce. Whatever may have been the
case at some previous time, the wheel of
Fortune had that day bitterly disappointed
her hopes. She had been carried home In
sensible. The Doctor hastened to her. It
was too late. Slij had been again-attacked
by a congestion of l tho brain, which this time
proved fatal. •
Tnere appeared no hopes of a comrlete
solution of the enigma.
said the same old gentleman as he
stood lioralizing% by his side,'the same luck
never tomes twice—she should have tried
a .
other numbers.'
The Doctor saw immediately that the old,
gentleman had been in the confidence of the
deceased. He enestioned him. There was
a Ibok of significance which betrayed plain-
that he bitty all. lie was in lad one of
lose who. earn ',heir subsiitenee by n.riting,
letters for those who are deficient in theskill
of penmanship or epistolary composition.—
Lie had written the verfiettir itself; to his pen
was owing that sort of copy book phrase ;
, May the gilts of happiness, - conduct to the
Temple of Happiness The Docioi- had in
truth, as he ofter said when alluding to, the
subject, made his fortune in the lottery.
We wish we could leave the story here,
and let the reader rather suppose that grati
tude alone had induced the old woman to
act so generous a part. But the whole truth
should be honestly told. It was his number
rat had won thitpriie, and he considered
it, as expressed in the letter which accompa
nied the notes, in the light nt his property:
In all countries where a lottery has been long
established, the strangest superstitions grow
up concerning what are called lucky num
bers. In Italy, where this minder oI raising
the Piiblic revenue is still resorted to, hot
only is and number which has 'presented
itself :trader peculiar circumstances sure tu
be propitious; bat there is a well known
book, of acknowledged authority we believe,
containing a list of words, with a specriaL
number • attached to each woid;.by'llie.aid
of which you can convert into a funky num
ber any ostroordinary event which has
occurred to you. Let anything happen of
public or private interest—let anything have=
been dreamt, err even talked of that was at
all surprising ; you have only to look in this
dictionary for the word which may be sup
posed to contain the• essence of the matter ;
as, for instance, fire, death, birth—and the
number that is opposite that word will assn..
redly Win your fortune.' When the Countess
first saw the prescription of the young Doc
tor, she was going to throw it away but the
numbers in it—the number of the grains and
ozs. in the calistic writing—and she felt apu
red that in these lucky numbers her fortune
was made. The first stake she played ; she
played for him; and singular enough, She
won ! But as the old gentleman in the
brown coat observoCl, the virtue of the
preserilitiOn was exhausted. should
have sought for numbers from some other
quarter; the second trial she made ended in
a severe loss, and was the immedisde cause
of • her (teeth.
