After a collegiate's education, and study ing medic!" r:-th a of hlglj venule n an Atlantic city, Dr. Albert Herman, young, poor, modest, and sensitive, put up his sign, and was duly prepared to commence medical practice' Long before a year of his patient and painful waiting had elapsed, he became disheartened, for he possessed none of the rude boastfulness of a charlatan ; and the young physician had to contend with great competition, unfriended, and without capital, with wh ch he could well have afford ed to wait. The wealthy preferred and could command the services of established and experieneed physicians j and the few who came to Dr. Herman were poor, and some of them so poor that humanity made his aid to them gratuitous. Moreover he was morbidly aensitive in regard to a slight deficiency in his hearing, contracted from a severe cold, and beoom-* chronic ; and this partial deafness he was compelled to admit, when in the chamber of the sick, who were, therefore, obliged to -p.-ak in -re loudly than they could withon' painful and unseen ly effort. Under these mortifications, he consulted with a friend, who told him that if he would -ucceed he must subdue his bashfuluess, and be rough in a rough world; and he was obliged to seek better forlnne in the growing West. He adopted this counsel, removed to a Moall town in the Western country, and now man shoe necessity, pu-died his way int< practice. He was found skillful, his reputa tion grew up with ths rising town, and at the age of filiy he was a rich man, with * Hue estate, made elegant by his liberality and tine taste ; groves, lawns, hills, stream*, shrobety and float rs, adornii g and dm is • I v ing the quiet and healthy demesne, arei niesonting cheerful news from the mansiot. hey Mirr unded. II had tnatried early after his arrival i' til* town ; but at ihe tin t i f which we now peak, he had been a widower, and Ihe los • 1 his children had left him chdd!es. Kind to all, h's deportment was yet shar • led by melancholy. Some attributed thi 'o the loss of his wife and chddren ; other lomautically adding that he had been r< ■narked for a sad way at times; aud that n might be owing to the loss of some early love or some other secret disappointment ; and really it might be the reprfliful memory of old home friends and places he could not now live among, grown wedded to this long accustomed spot, where, under Providence, he bad so long prospered. And religious and charitable without ostentation, as he was, a good adviser among hii neighbors, a settler of disputes, and generally beloved, the town people hardly knew whot to do without him. One summer night, Dr. Herman was rous ed from slumber by his man-servant, who slated that a little boy was below, who said that hi#mother was suddenly taken ill and he feared she was dying. Hastily dressing' the physician descended ami found the boy, a child of ten, sobbing in the hall. On inquiry, he learned that the boy'a fa ther, a poor man named Frederick Lane, had been long absent in the war, leaving a wite ar.d children at home. With her husband's pay and her own efforts, Mrs. Lane had con trived to eke out a scanty subsistance for herself and her little ones; but for several weeks past her enfeebled health bad rendered her unable to work, and tidings had now coma that the soldier had been killed iu a late battle; and this shock, added to hei iong privations, worriments and sickness, had imperilled the unfortunate woman's life. The story of such distress did not fall upon a cold ear ; and taking the boy by the hand, the physician went with him to a remote part of the town, in an obscure abode, where the poor family dwelt. On his entering, the suffering woman, ap parently about thirty years of age, was found sitting up, thin and deathly,pale, her daugh ter, a beau'iiul child of six years, bathing tier temples with water, her own young lace wot with tears. The invalid could scarcely speak at first, but by the aid of some rcstoranves which the physician had brought, she recovered sufficiently to converse with hitn, but in a feeble voice and broken sentences. She was in rapid c >n*uuption, she thought induced by hard work and prolonged anxiety on account of her husband. Since her sick ness debt had stared her in ihe face; and the hope which had kept complete despair at bay, had brn the thought that, as the term of her hutbaitd's enlistment was soon to ex pire, his return wot.ld set matters right wiili the creditors, and furnish her the protection and support wotch she and the children so inucn needed. But yesterday she received a lettir from a comrade of Mr. Lme, stating thai he had fallen i* battle, and a mortal faintueas had seized upon her, while brood ing alone upon her woe*, and she felt com pelted to send for medical aid, as her last h-jur seemed approaching. ' You in-nt have courage, my dear madain, said Dr. Hirtnin, "an l rely up >n it I wil render you every assistance in my power This is a deplorable case, truly ; but your condition is not so serious as your distress causes you to imagine. Have you no friends?" "I have, but they are few, and alas ! poor also. They have supplied us with the little they could spare from tneir own necessities, but oh, it could be but little ; and I delayed applying to the town as long as I could, be cause I thought that Frederick would soon be with me again and then tne humiliation would be unnecessary." "I wish 1 had known of this before, Mrs. Lane. It wuuld have spared you much pri vation and aching of the heart. God alone cau console you for the lose of your husband ; aud though I feel how distressing it must be [ for you to reflect upon the helplessness of these young children, let that very reflection nerve you to lire for them. Trust me you shall want no longer for the necessaries of life. Feel no delicacy in accepting this trifle of money, and when morning c<>mes supply your immediate wants, Proper food and re pose of mind are what you mainly need, aud that composure will be hastened by the as surance that I am aware of all an(Lonsider s it a privilege to assist you, out of,the abundance with which God has blessed tae. Try and cheer up, madam. Brighter days will surely Come to you and your affectionate children. I will say no more. You need sleep. To rn orow I will call again ; and, in the mean time, rest in the consciousness that you and your children have found an able and a will ing friend in Dr. Herman. Good night, and good night, children. God will bless you for the love you bear your motbet." W■ th these words, the physician returned home, arid slept none the less soundly for his long walk and his benevolent act. As soon as he had gone, the widow bade tier children kneel with her, and with hands upraised above their orphan heads, she utter ed a ptayer for their dead father, and entreat ed the blessiag .f Heaven upon them and up ui him who ha 1 been so prompt and kind at :he call ol her wretchedness; and then retir uig to rest, tlie poor woman sank into a y.i'mer and deeper sleep than she had for a I rig time known; for the kind voice and looks of the good man haunted even her 'reams—and did much to "raze out the written troubles of the brain" which had for veais troubled her. Sureh , if there are guardian angels com missioned to watch owr the friendless, ana 'iff the soul suddenly out of darkness when afflict ions crowd most thickly, some such good spirit had that night taken compassion upon her, converting her extremity into an agent of relief, and smiled upon the clouded sorrow to leave a rainbow there. The sun was not an hour high, when a kn-ck at the dopr, onswered by little Freddy announced the arrival of a man who handed 'he boy a sealed envelope, saying that it contained money due to her. The man then 'eft, without stating who had sent him.— When his mother rose the boy gave her the packet. It was opened and found to inclose fifty dollars but no note by which she might have told from whom it had come. Freddy said the man seemed to think he kid not know him, but the bearer was Thom as Winslow, the hired man of Dr. I ? e -nan ; and this satisfied Mrs Lane that there had been no mistake, and that the bounties of the good physician were not confined to mere words or reputation* The possession of so much money, with which she could pay her most preaaing debts, wasjbetter than medicine to ber, and she did not hesitate to make use of it that very morning when her most craving creditors called to know what ahe was going to do now that ber husband was reported dead She paid thetn, and their anxiety concerning him wan greatly lessened The payment of these debts caused the money to go as suddenly as it had c ime,van ishing like shavings in the fire ; ao that in the course of the day, when a few poor, but sympathizing neighbors called, she consulted with them as to the best means of parting with the greater part of her furnithre; for she did not now hope for much furtheras sistance from the kind hearted doctor. Alas, for her! she had not been used to evidence* of continued generosity, save from hearts whose emotions are their great riches. These poor people could not bat ill advise. Ther were reluctant to *ty how ; for to part with her husband's good*, those dumb bat constant friends, so dear to a domestic heart, from long service and association, seemed like a step toward ntter desolation. In the midst of their sad interview, Dr. Herman called seain, according to promise, and his cheerful face presented a singular con trast to the gloom around him. After far ther inquiries he proposed a solution of the difficulty. "Y 'U are aware. Madam," said he, w'Oi a smil*. "'ha* lam an old snd experienced physte an. and I have seld -m failed in any rsaea which I did not consider hopeless from the firi. Ymr* is n<t hopeh ss. At Jr<>ur medical adver, I will sat that I know of a remedy. It will be a partial one, to be sure, but His to trust in God, to hope on; end to THUMB SHOO 3PEH ANNTJM follow my prescriptions." Mrs. LaDe said that aha felt satisfied to rust entirely to hia better judgment. "Then, my dear Madam, my first prescrip tion is for you to give up this gloomy house ; keep all your furniture, and store it at tnioe, and remain th;re with your children, waking my house your home, at least until your health shall be completely restored. You will find that my housekeeper, Mrs. Janet Winsbrow, is a kind and worthy woman. The schoolbouse and church are as near there as here ; and the pleasanter place will aid your recovery. There was a prescription which the down cast and now astonished woman did not find difficult to tako ; and the speedy result was, that by the aid of the faithful man servant Thcmas Winsbrow, the goods were all care fully removed and stored, and Mrs. Lane and her children were placed in possession of two handsome adjoining rooms, from the windows of which she could daily be regaled by brac ieg air and a charming landscape; and here, in her new home, how long to last she knew not, she was enjoined to read, walk, ride, and keep her mind as calm as possible. She found the medicine he ordered but trifling, and his conversation a solace ; and one day she allu ded to this, and stated her opinion that the place, rather than medicine, had greatly in creased he strength and cheerfulness. "You are right," he replied. "The harmless stuff Ihave recommended has been more to inspire faith and hope, than to act otherwise on the system. This scenery —God's painting—and His breath, this pure air, are operating very favorably for you— The mind corrodes th* body often; and when I can 'minister to a mind diseased,' it some times claims almost exclusive attention." "This beautiful place is an cheerful as it is romantic, she replied ; thcugh I bare been accurtomed to couple romance with what is melancholy, for my own early history had much of romance in it. joined with as much of sorrow." This vagne allusion, led her, at his desire, to an explanation, the subject being that, in her native city, from which her lather's fami ly were moving when she was but four years of age, she strayed away from the house, while they were busy with the confusion, and became lost. She bad contrived to stroll on board a vessel, where the little wanderer was discovered fast rsleep after the vessel had put to sea. On his return, the captain made fruitless inquiries as to the whereabouts of the child'* parents, and concluded to adopt her as his own. At the age of fourteen, the captain's wife who had long been unkind to her, turned her adrift, while he was absent from home.— Making her way to a factory-town, she had earned her livelihood for a number of years, till her marriage and removal to the West, Dever having heard further of her parents ; but the dress which she had worn when she was lost, had been carefully preserved, and still in her possession. Dr. Herman had listened gravely and with fixed interest to this brief narrative, and at its conclusion he oddly remarked : "Do you believe in second-sight ?" She answered in the negative. "I do; lam possessed of it, aud will prove it." And he now described, minutely, the child 'e dress of which she had spoken. "It is correct ; but you do no t *urpris me, for my children must have shown it to you." "No," was hU reply ; "and I can tell you more about this dress. The city of which you speak is my native city ; and I have good reason to remember the details of this little dress,for lam the elder brother of the child whowore it,and advertised for the recovery at the time, when we were moving to a diatant city. YYere you to young to remember your name ?" "Oh no!" replied Mra. Laue, pale and tremulous at this disclosure. "I remember very cleary. It was Maud—Mau<l Herman." ■'That is the name ! Oh, Maud !my dear sister, what marvel of Providence is this which has so wonderfully brought us togeth er, in this distant place, and after so many years of separation ? I was a man then, and you but little more than an infant. It makea me think that the interest I have taken in yon was inspired, not by any common sym pathy for distress, but by come mysterious law of instinct, which moved me, a brother) to show a brother's love." "It seems so. But, perhaps it was second sight," she answered, smiling through ber tears. "I have certainly had a second sight at you," replied he ; "and now that you are old enough to go alone, lam sure it will not be the last." It is only necsssary to add, of Dr. Herman and hia late- found sister, that aa her troubles had come in troops, so, too. did ber blessings; the return of her husband from a Southern prison, filling the arms of a fond wife instead of a patriot's grave, completing the sum of her happiness; while the good physician basks in the suushine of rewarded benevo lence, without which be might never have seen bis lists r more.
