in tny farther experience.
It was not long after finishing our summer
course wit 6sellool- ma'am' Mary —, that we
were transferred to a 'man-sehool,' kept in the
district. And here I must go hack, for jmat ono
inoMent, tr any that, among, the ple - asantest
things th..t I remember of that period, seas the
calliniz upon us in the morning, by the' neigh
bors' children--nod especially two little girls

I think of illotherwell's going to scltuol -with
tin 'dear Jenny 'dorrison,'• so touchingly de
scribed in his leautiitl poem of that name, ev
ery time those- scenes arise before use.
Well, at this 'man-school' first learned the
lesion which lam about to illustrate. It is a
lesson for prtrehls, a lesson for in6tructers, and-
I Chiba, a lesson for children also. - I remember
names here, tar one was almost burned Into My
brain for years af4rwarde.
There was Fometliing very imposing about
'opening the animal' on the_first.dayolthe wine

present ; n hard headed old farmer, who sent
long piles of 'cord-wood,' beach, maple, bass

used to say--end Ite . might, with equal propri

there was no lack of 'timber ;' Deacon
an educated Puritan, who could spell, read,•
write, 'porictif,,' and—`knew grammar,' as lie
himself expressed it ; n iliih-fuced doctor whose

that occasion, with his saddle-bags crossed on
his knee, being in something of a hurry, cxpec

oil events, I well reincmber'•peeping under the
wrinkled leather flaps 'of the 'bus' and seeing
a - wouden- cnitridge-bon, , with holes' for Alio 1
death dealing vials ; and last, but not least, the
town blacksmith, n Ito was, in fact,.worth all
the Other trustees list together, being a man of
sound common sense, with something more
titan a sprinkling of useful education, Under
the.auspices of these trustees, this 'inim.school'
was thus opened fur the 'w'mter. 'Now look
'you what befell.'
For the first four or five dens, our acheclina.

were given out en the second day ; five sehol

I Was fearing this, and had reached the end of

now, so I can afford to be a-little candid -now
and then. •
Neatly twenty years ago, there lived in
Blownsbuty Square one of my best patients,
by name Mr. Adgusttl . ; Brown.
'Mr. Broth was a gentleman of competent
intkpcncience, and e 4of a literary and virtuous
turn of Mind. At about forty yeara of age, he
began to study. medicine a little and to tabu
care of .his health a great deal. He, bought
medicine batiks, prowled :donut the tvardy of
.hospitals, and mode himself is unhappy as any
comforgble, middle-aged, single - gentleman
could wish to be. I !carnet these particulars
of hint from a friend who recommended him to
me,
WLun 1• was first called to attend him, not
knowing that his disease all imaginary, I
was quiletaketipfor ahaut, n q ..rter of an

'Yes.'. .
'I never hoard of them.'
'Yery likely.'
'But my dear sir,' lie eaclaimed, bolting up
right.
'Dear me, Mr. Brown,' I said, 'you are bet

'No 1 ain't—ohl oh eh?'
'Well, I can remedy your disease.' „
'You can ?'
'Yes, by the preponderating pills.'
'They will increase my density, I stiFinciirl,
by contracting the—the absorbents, and so on.'
,'Exactly.'
'Astonishing ! My dear sir, you aro the on

'Why, he told me to squat down like a Chi

'Yoiand when I,rautonstrated he actually

I flattered myself that I had made 'a great

only astonished at the amount of his credulity
upon .the subject. I sent him some' extrernety_
'mild pills, composed of a common harmless
drug:B . 6a - wailed the result with 'Bonne degree
of patience and a considerable degree of ex
pectation. (7
In a few days a message came to me to go to
Mr. Brown immediately, for he feared he was
sinking fast.
'Sinking fast P said 1. 4
'Yes, sir.' • -
‘ls he so weak ?'
•
•
'Yes ; you say he
'Uh, i.t.is cos he's too hinny
'Too .vhat P
'Too hoary, sir.'
'Ridiculous P
'Master says he's got too heavy he's obliged
to be on the ground floor.'
'Tell him I'll be with him immediately.'
The boy who had tome from , Mr. Brown's
departed, and I felt myself thoroughly posed by
this second extraordinary fancy of Mr. Angus-
Ms Brown.
'So much;' thought I, 'for my extreme elev.
erncis in inventing the', preponderating Pills."
I however, lost no time in going to my ec
centric-paiient. 1 found him in the kitchen,
lying on his back, in the middle of the floor,
and groaning as usual.
'Oh t -ith-!t he-Cried-when he-saw me, -"you.

with a heavy dab,
