BY W. O. EATON.
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 •

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

but His to trust in God, to hope on; end to

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
