Thank you sirm said Sir Ashley; anything
from you is acceptable and he put the cap into
his pocket.
Upon examination it was found TO contain a
check for one thousand guineas.
One other anecdote must he related as singu-
larly illustrative Of his character.
Mr.. Steere consulted Sir Ashley at his own
residence, and having received his advice depart
ed without giving the usual fee Sir Ashley took
no notice Of this, but gave him his assistance
cheerfuly under feeling that he was gentle
man who had seen better days but who WAS now
in indifferent circumstances. Shortly after, how
ever, Sir Ashley received a note, acquainting him
that on going to the Stock Exchange, he found
that he had some omnium, which be had disposed
Of and that he had taken the liberty 10 put f3 900

Sir Astley's amount Of fees far exceeds that Of
any member Of the profession. lp one year he
received no less sum than E2k000, and for
many years from { 1000, upwards Ills patients
have comprised all classes Of society, and his
friendship was bestowed equaly,on the wealthy

The abolition Of slavery in the British West
India islands was preceded by strenuous and sue
cessful efforts to induce the people of Great Brit
ain to dsuse the products of slave labor. These
efforts originated mainly with those who call
themselves Friends, among whom have always
been found earnest, patient, and persevering adj
vocates Of the suffering slave. Within the past
year new and vigorous movement has COM
menced in England, which in the result may
largely interest this country.
Coffee rice, and sugar, Of the product OF free
labor, can without difficulty be obtained but The
question from whence free cotton can be had, has
been one of difficult solution The efforts in
India to grow the better qualities, are not as yet
successful, but there is some improvement, even
there. There is also a probability that cotton
will be largely produced in other British posses
sons In Jamaica and other West India islands,
many plantations have been commenced, and are
reported as doing well From Port Natal, South
Africa, samples of cotton have been received,
valued by brokers in England as worth one
shilling per pound and an influential colonist
writes" From one tree of the green seed variety,
that | have growing in anything but good
situation near my house, ] have gathered full six
and half pounds annually for the last three
years, about three pounds the first year, Six
pounds of cotton "a il comes from the tree, yields
trees can be grown on an acre of ground"
There is also in this country Free Produce
Association, the organ Of which is the Non
NayehOidey,o published in Philadelphia. IL Ia a
paper of admirable spirit and has contained a
great amount Of information ss TO that portion Of
the population Of the slave States who hold no
slaves, and who, IL they knew their strength, as
many Of them already know their rights and in
teres,s, would speedily overturn slavery.
Recent letters from England state that the Rev.
Dr. Pennington and the Rev. H. II Garnet both
once slaves in this countryJ are now discuss
ing the question Of the dsuse of slave-grown pro-
duce before English audiences. The organi1a-
ton in England is very active and efficient, and
il seems probable that it will be able TO lessen the
demand for slave-grown cotton. Ia the effort to
do 80, no war is proclaimed against this country,
or even ngains, the South; nay, the enterprise Is
already, TO some extent, appreciated and befrend-
ed by the non-slaveholders Of the South, who
have furnished some hundreds Of bales Of free
cotton and are ready and anxious to make ar
rangements for largely increased supply.

STICKING TO ONES RIGHTS.

Old stories very often have forcible applcn-
ton to present times The following anecdote we
met with lately in an exchange paper.
How is it, John that you bring the wagon
home in such a condition y
81 broke 10 driving over a stump
Whereof
Back in the woods half mile or 500
But why did you run against the stump
Couldn't you see how to drive straight7n
did drive straight, sir, and that is the very
reason that drove over IT, The stump was d.
rectly in the middle Of the road"
Why, then, did you not 20 round i'll"
4" Because, sir, the stump had no right in the
middle of tho fogd1and had right In IN
"True, John, the stump ought not TO have
been in the road but wonder that you were 80
foolish ns not to consider thnt it was there, and
that II wis stronger than your wagon
why, father, do you think that am always
going to yield up my rights Not ! am de-
termined to stick up to them, come what will"
I" But what Is the use, John, Of standing up to
rights, when you only get greater wrong by so
doingP
81 shall stand up for them ut all hazards
"Well, John, all | have to say IL this hercaf
ter you must furnish your own wagon
In the political world there is q very large and
ugly stump, placed directly ia the middle OF the
high road over which our great legislative wagon
has to pass What is worse, too, some of our
Southern fellow-citizens helped the North to place
the stump exactly in it's present position or rather
to dig away the earth which had previously hid
den II. These very same politicians now insist
in driving directly the stump, because il is in
the middle Of the road, it being one of their uu-
doubted rights to use that portion of the highway.
Little care they whether the wagon is broken or
not In the passage-'hey insist on their rights at
all hazards. Would it not be proper for them
to reflect upon the agency they had in giving the
stump Its present position before they put in prac-
tice their threats to break the wagon upon It,
merely because those who helped them TO put IL
there, Kancying il a great improvement to the
highway, will not assist in its removal
There Is one thing very certain; the people who
own the vehicles that travel over this road, will
take very good care that their rash drivers in
future Z" must furnish iheU 0wm magons "--Natehss

SIR ASHLEY COOPER.

In Pettigrew's Medical Portrait Gallery, Part
v, are the following amusing anecdotes Of the
celebrated surgeon, Sir Ashley Cooper:
lie received, perhaps, the largest fee given at
one time for an operation. IL WAS upon an old
gentleman, named Hyatt who was resident in
the West Indies; and when he arrived at the age
Of seventy, being afflicted with stone in the blad-
der, determined on going TO England, to undergo
an operation for its removal II was performed
with his accustomed ability and upon visiting
him one day, when no was able TO quit his bed
he observed 10 his surgeon that he had feed his
physician, he had not yet remunerated his sur
geon. He desired 10 know the amount Of his
debt, and Sir Ashley stated 1.-TWO hundred

"Pooh, poohw exclaimed the old gentleman,

Three years and more had flown away Charles
Franklin's visits to his adopted home had grown
more frequent and flying than the yearly ones of
yore Bessie was evermore his faithful cores
pondent, and her lively letters kept well-spring
gushing in the sober heart of his theological life
Three years had not left her little girl although
womanhood Wilful and winning ever, she
was almost dangerously fascinating in her young
beauty and awakened wit From the pupil of
her cousin, she had risen to be the confdant of
his every purpose--the sharer Of his every joy
and sorrow Books were strong links in the
their hearts The dashes of her light pencil en-
lvened the margins of his Shakespeare" and
{" Ivanhoe" and lock from the brown braids Of
her hair lay nesting among the sublime mystic
ries of his Paradise Lostn
Unconsciously, Charles had grown to regard
her as something belonging to himself, and now
the thought was at times most painful. His own
vow at his mothers death-bed and his own plans,
purposes, and wishes ever since, had bound him
to the sef-denying life Of a missionary. Was
the thoughtless, wild-spirited girl fitting cand-
date for the HCross and Crownp Yet he knew
how strong was the tie that bound Bessie's heart
to his and he trusted firmly by this to draw it
into the same path of selfdenial. lie sought not
TO break that tie She had often told him-and
her eyes had said more than her impulsive lips

Strong is the power of mighty-a master
spirit. 1t bursts, with the sweep Of the uncurbed
ocean, over all obstacles, and bears down human
hearts in myriads at its own wild will. But there
is point where Omnipotence saith to the might
lest human influence, as it said to that stormy
wave, "Thus far shalt thou come, and no farther
and here shall thy pride be stayedp Charles
had yet to learn the truth, that to angel or NOR
tai WAS never delegated the power to touch the
chord that draws the heart beavenwardl His
theological studies were ended but circumstance,
