eWhile there is life there is hope" is an old
adage and it is sometimes euriously illustrated.
Persons given up to die are often saved by the
superior energy Of o nurse who has hope; but
many keep off the king of terrers, for time at
least, by their superior determination. Old
Major DASH who won his breVet in the war OF
1872, was suddenly taken down with the cholera
Ii was at the time of its first appearance on
this continent, and our physicians had very lit
tie experience. The Major sank rapidly, and
consultation was called. Several doctors. after
putting their heads together" came to the
conclusion that the patient was fatally sick,
past recovery. No one, however, would make
the announcement; when the Major, suspect
ing the cause, turned to ayoung doctor present
and said, What is the report :"
ssThat you can't live
| "Net chance :" asked the Major with Sc
verify. fa
$ Yes,'. continued young hopeful, Sc just one
j chance in a hundred thousand"
Then why the don't you work away on
/ that chance - returned the Major, with a voice
i of thunder.
The hint was taken, and the inyincible SOL
dier was saved The white hairs and the gis-
tening sword ef this old soldier waved along the
victorious lines of our troops in Mexico; but he
at last had to yield to a foe, if not more eour-
ageous, yet more Unsuitable, and he now sleeps
upon his native banks of the Hudson.
