Patty had lifted the latch, and sprung into_

*Well, you must kdow, that the vicar's lady

,was giving me my lesson'; and wondering how
it was that the kind gentleman should take so
mush pains imlearning a poor little girl like
me to sing,:eli asked how it was, and tho doc

when he dad done, as I can't tell you. And
she said lie was a kind, good.lienittid Creature,
and thanked him fur doing such service. just as
it 1 liad bean her own child. Then she asked
me to sing something, and the doctor whipt up

body, but hb said nothing to mo. And when
the vieer came, he told him that I was the little

But we must tell how the doctor aforesaid
managed to pick up his -young papii. The
worthy man was a respectable parrot trier on'
the violoncello, entertaining sundry quartette
and glee parties at 'his home, aftor his customa
ry day's visits were paid.. True, ho was often
Interrupted in those delightful_home _6 2 oncerts,
by some sudden call to a follew being in dis
tress • und, however unwilling he never failed
to 'go. But he carried melody about with him, I
and his mind andboarimoromiwayi Strung in '
music. Into the hMisan:cit tho poor _hg went,.
carrying cheerfulness and kindness with him,
His was a gentle, loving nature ; and' many a
pillow be had softened, many a tear ho had
dried, by his undeviating attention, and unva
rying kindness ; no matter how poor and lowly
were the houses he visited. And, really, there
is no mom efficient minister of tho poor, than a
kindly heal - 46d poor man's doctor.
In the course of his visititionsOle - lacriteMi
called to-the house of Job Grayson, - whoa', - wife
was laid up with the fever. Little Patty tend.
ed her so kindly end gently,, ted t h e
_decto!!tt
prescriptions worked with such potency, that
the good woman was soon pronounced conva
lescent, to Patty's great joy. One day, when
about to tiny his last- visit, he was arrested at
thp tloorofilanottago by_the clear_ mellfluons
voice of little Patty, who wan cheerfully sing
ing one of her favorite songs. It was like the
carol of a' lark, - end mado the place glad in
which_ it hounded __-a _fulltthranted melody,
breathing joy, hope and youthful gladness—
then a buret of rapturous silver treble notes,
tlike pearl beads dropping suddenly from their
string.' The.girl sang aloud, as if in the very
fullne l ss of her heart:
The doctor weal - scat-to catranced, and , did
not venture to lift the latch till a pause in the
melody, when ho quietly ventured in. Patty
was standing nour the windoiv sill, and a flash
of sunshine poured upon her face and neck,
stroaining through the green branclls of a
bright red fellable in full flower, which she
was watering. Her dark heir win: , pqrt6,l4,'ma

'black, speaking oyes. tier cheek was mantled
with a slight flask, making the pale brow• still
fairer by the contrast. She was dressed hum
bly, as became a poor girl, but cleanly rind
neatly, and looked the good fairy of the pla6c.-
She rose up as the worthy doctor entered, and
the worthy man felt es if lie had never seen
her till now. Had ho not been a confirmed
bachelor and she,o child, he would have fallen
in love with her on•tho spot. But he did fill
in love with her.; and he determines', there and
then, to cultivate th 6 rare and beautiful gift of
song which- the child possessed. All God's
gifts,'said he, 'aro . beautiful, bestowed for, good
purposes, and calculated to' make .man bettor .
'and-happier. Let us-take- care--thai:- - wis -use

gift of your child's,' he wan t on, addressing
the mother, 'is too rare to lie hid; lot her come
to me, and we Shall she if it cannot 6o brim&

doctor's numerous kindnesses, and trustful in
his good sense and manly generosity, column

few lessons 'out of his own-head,' in singing ;
antP"Job was on exceedingly happy man whop
he hoard of the result of the interview we halo
described, and gave his entire- sanction to the
moceeding. The mother afterwards had her
misgivings as we have seen, but Joh watched
the child's progress with immense pleoeuraand
hopefulness; and the story: of her 'enemies

Wasn't it a happy day for JOb: and Ills wife
when they went to Chtileeh that Christmas Day
niurning,oarlieord the clear voice of thoir
child filling the lofty root and the whole , 'body
of the'cburcli with the sweetest melody ! Far
'above the organ tones, dad the full volumed
voice of the - choir, was heard her simple, thrill
ing voice 7 full, sustained, true and until:tooted.
Now though elm was to each a position, inex

did not know what a "debut' was, it Is true
but she guessed the cloolor'e meaning ; and full
of tremblingWaoitoment and joy, alto thanked
with brimful oyes and heaving breast.
`This happy day oPoned an entirely_ne_w

Behold our little singing Patty at length ex

however, without much hard work ; though,
as with all true workers, it - was not toil to her,
but rather. a great blessing 'end joy,'The many
hours together, which she devoted to study and
practice, were golden hours to her; for through
- arid beyond all, she saw independence fur her
self in after Hui. and comfort and abundance
for her poor parents• in their old age. . .
And now eho appears , on a new stage—•now
she is make her beautiful gift.a gladness and
joy to others—nowiehe appears as a messenger
of happiness and a dispenser of pure delight.
'The Creation' is announced for performance in
her native town-; and who-should bp selects
to take tbe place of principal sophrano, but our
gifted pupil! The, every ono expected this,
for she had distanced all bar competitors; and
Tame hid trumpeted praise - a .of her .genius.—
But it was nut without a groat flutter of heart
that the intelligence first broke upon Patty.—
A' first appearance! What issues bang upon,
it! Asia the barrister who has pleaded his first
cause, the minister who has 'preached his first
sermon, the professor who' has delivered his
first lecture, and they will tell you what a
whirl of excitement possessed , thorn before,
andiluring,.and. after the- first appearance.—
But /10110 of those suffer en anxiety so intense
_ as that of a . public singer on. her first solo per
former:al before the public.- The whole ?roman
in her
,nature shrinks—timidity, -modesty,
blushing bashfulness, all must down, down;
and then the perfect stillness thrall - 0.-which
that ono solitary voice rises up, a thousand ears_
listening to As every cadence, and thrill, and
shake, while Oat thousand eyes-watch the every
movement of the singer. A singer's first ap
pearance; Truly it is a vary. formidable trial
.nerve and courage. But Patty had fore
seen all, and dared the trial. ..Slie.-had master
ed her part, and felt equal to deliver the great
ideas of the master. Her soul had fod upon
the inspired melody and she longed to pour it
trirth ; the genius of 'the true artist was strong
in her,
The iiltuic Hall was crowded almost- to suf
focation. The sea of upturned faces, beheld
from the orchestra, would have made a stout
heart quail--laces beaming with anticipation,'
hope and pleasure—such faces as one meets
with in a concert tome, alai nowhere else.—
„the fide orchestra opened with that wonderful,
, musical picture of-Chaos—perhaps the most
- extraordinary piece of-musical painting_ ever .
COMP - O;Cd—itselfa . great creation, out of which
there at length rises a 'spirit of order, grace,
and beauty - , truly marvelous. Then , the mag
nificent chorus, 'And the spirit of God moved
upon the waters,' and the soul entrancing burst
of 'Let there be light,' which never - audience
listened to without a sudden thrill Dathing
through eveetnerve _You now heard Patty's
voice clear above the host of sound whieh . filled
the ball. Always . alive to the magic influence
of sound, her heart had already caught the ex
citement, andithe no longer ihought of - herself,
but of the !tousle she° Was rendering. She was
dressed—but why describe that, fof there was
nothing to dwell npon there. She woe plain
and neat, in a .becoming white dress ; her hair
-flowing- do w n-lter-neelz- in-the old-ringlet-style;
her face was pale, yet a slight flush might have
been detected by the curious observer, and
her forehead w,as bedewed as with Heaven's
ether. You - thought - littleof her figare,tlll in
progress of the Oratorio She stood forth to sing
the exquisite air, 'WM verdure'elad,' and she
then . seemed to dilate and expand, and glow
before you , the fire of true genius darting from
her eyes, a religious glow animating her fea
tures and warning her heart, while die hall
rang - with that exquisite voice,' pouring forth
those lofty accents - which could only proceed
from an intelligent mind and a sensitive heart.
A burst of tremendous applause, such as had
never before been-heard there, bailed the con
elusion of. it r e song, and the encore was
elastic and unanimous. The singer's success
was complete, and her performance throughout
the remhinder of the work, especially in the
thirdpart, was a Succession of triumphs.
There was no happier hearlioin that great au• .
dionee than that which ,;beat under the kind
doetcir's waistcolit ; and a proud man was he
that night, and a happy woman was Patty,
when he stroked her head and said— ' ' •
'NOV, my lass, thy fortune's made, and thou
halt no more need of thy old doctor, and . his
great fiddle.'
said Patty, and the - tears - were in
her eyes while nhe Said it, 'but for you, 1 Lad,

cuss to you—thy first teacher, first friend, lint
counsellor:" and 1 shall never forget you—come

And she never did. , Patty became a great

OUT OF HEART.
.iyhy so sod, Earnest 1 7 said the young wife
to her husband, - affectionately twining her arm
around his neck and kissing
Ho looked up with a sad simile, and replied:
am almost out of heart, Mdry. 1 think of
all pursuits, a' physician's profession i 3 the
worst. Here I have been, week after week,
and month after month-1 may 500 I) say year
after year'— waiting for practice, yet without
Success. A lawyer may volunteer in a cele
brated case, and stake himself known, but a
physician must sit ifatieutly in his office, and if
unknown, see men vit half of his acquire
ments rolling in w alth, ; bile perhaps ho is
marring. And it will so n coma to that,' he
added bitterly, 'if 1 do not g t employment.'
Au unbidden tear stolo in the wife's eye, but
she strove to sibile anirsaid
• ,
'Do norilespnind, Earnest ; I"knoW you haie

hour has never yet come,' said her husband
despondingly, and now every cent of my little.
fortune has been expended 'and our credit will
s.ooq, be gone when it is found we do not pay.—
'What then is to become of us ?'
Earnest 'was in o mood which the most san
guine soimetimes experience, when disappoint
ment after disappointment had ere - abed the.spi
rit and' the voice - of hope is no longer heard
within. His uric° would have given away to
tears, if she had been alone, but she felt the
necessity of sustairig hini, and answered
cheerfully :
, Ana what if every cent is gone? Have no
fear that we shall starve, God sent the ravens
to feed Elijah, and Ho will intlrposn for oar
aid. Trust in Him„ dear Earnest. __..__ _ .._ _.__
The husband felt rebuked, as she thus spoke
and answered less despondingly. -
'But really, Mary, this want of success would
try the stoutest:spirit : Thc mechanic, the _day.
Liborer, the humblest farmer is sure of his food
and raiment but 1, after having spent years in
study, have wasted years besides. wasting for
practice, and now when all my fortune is gone,
if I.resort to Wicr means of livelihood, 1 loso
all that I have spent, WTI) time and money, arid
roust forever abandon the idea of niy profeSs
sion. It is too hard !' and he arose and.walhed
the room with rapid strides.
His wife sighed and remained silent, but af
ter a momentor two she arose, went up to him,
and-fondly encircling him with her arm she
'Dear Earnest, you must not weary yourself
so. - You think it painful for me to bearpoyer
ty, _I know, or you would not - take it so hard ;
but - a woman *lever regards Buck things ' when
she loves. -A crust of bread, a lug cabin, would
be preferable to melf shared with you, than a
palace- with any other. But it will not come to
this. Something within assures me that you
will be great and rich. Hare patience only a
little while longer. There—there is a knock
at the door now—at may be-for you.' .
As if her words had been prophetic, the lit
tle girl, their only servant, appeared at this cri
sis, and said the doctor was wanted in d great
hurry. With an exulting smile his wife ran
fur his hat, and. an_n sat down with a beating
heart to await his . return.
It was altnutt the first summons the young
physician had received, although he had resi
:ded-to the - village - for - more 'llistil'h — fear. — The
plane, too, was large and populous, but there
resided medical men of large practice, and. all
these combined to put down their younvival.
; More .than 011 CC, heretofpre, Earnest would
have:abandoned the field in despair, but his
young wife cheered and encouraged hiM,
though someticainet own heart seemed•ready
to give up. Mary,. was indeed, the greatest
of all blessings, a good wife ; she sympathized
with her husband, economized to,the utmost,
and by her sanguine words chased despondency
from the heart. •
Hour after hdur she out there awaiting her
husband, yet still he came not. At last dark
ness sat in and she began to feel uneasy. She
was about rising to go to the door whinAhe
heard 14r husband's• foot . upon • the stop, and
hurrying out'she met him in the hall,
• 'God bless you, Mary, for au angel as you
are; were his first wards: If it had not been
for you, l should have given up long ago, and
now my fortune is made.'
Breathless with anxiety to hear all, yet mind
ful of his probably wearied condition, Mary
hurried her husband•into the little sitting room
where the tea things were laid, and began to
peer out the refreshing beverage, with a tram
bling hand, while Earnest told; tho(..tistory of
his day's ahsenco. '• •
