Let me Slide, Doctor.

A friend Of ours, who is a firm believer in
the utility Of good eating and drinking, was at
tackled, few weeks since, with typhoid fever,
the symptoms Of which assumed SO dangerous
form. that two attending physicians deemed it
expsdient to call 10 other medical aid. The
consulting Physician, rot knowing the habits OF
life pursued by bis patient, proceeded 10 ques-
ton him as follows
''Mr. A., how old are you - The sick man
replied, "According TO the family record, for
ty: but l have had as many good times as most
men of seventy ~
'sWhat have been your habits-have you ac-
cusomed yourself 10 use stimulants 7" "Yes."
aIIow many drinks have you taken daily 90 81
never kept tally, doctor, but have been 'iair
drinkrr' and good feeder all my life"
The doctor gazed at his patient, felt his pulse,
then shook his head. On seeing this, the sick
man looked the physician earnestly in the eye,
aud said, 'sDoctor, what kind of a chance is
there ofmy recovering % After hrsitatng 4
moment, the doctor said, sWeli, Mr.. A.,
think you will recover, but you will have to be-
very careful how you eat and drink hereafter,
as your constitution has been somewhat strain
ed.' The sick man gave sigh, and replied,
'Doctor if you can't get me we'll enough to al

Our friend, however, did recover. and as his
health improved. SO did his appetite; every
morning he urged his physician TO allow him
something in the way OF substantial nourish-
ment. After about two weeks the physician
told him she might have a bird" The sick
man was delighted, and immediately sent for an
old friend and associate to come and see him;
who, upon entering the sick room of his friend,
was accosted thus Sam, my doctor says may
have bird for dinner, and want you TO go
down to Robbins and tell him 10 send me the
biggest and fatest mid goose he has in bis stal'
But instead OF sending wild goose, Sam sent
SQUAD. at which our sick friend was at first in
dignant, but finally al it, and fully recovered
his health. Judging from his appearance a
few days since, he is likely TO live many years
to enjoy his dinners, as well as the society of

WONDERFUL INSTANCE OF SAGACITY.-We
bear. says the Saadusky Register, ofan instance
OF sagacity prscticed by the elephant attached
TO Herr Drsesbach's Menagerir. which deserves
record. Coming into New-wark, O., last Sat-
arday, the elephants keeper fell in fit from
us horse. The whole menagerie immediately
came TO halt, and some members OF the COM
pany went forward to pick sp the man. But
the Elephant woald not allow any person TO ap-
proach the SenseiesS form ofhis keeper. Taking
MN up with his trgHk. softly he would place
MN on his horse, but finding that the man was
senseiesS, he laid ham on the ground, and kept
watch over him. Many members ofthe mena-
gerIe tried TO seothe the faithful elephant, who
had now become furious at the supposed death
oil his master, but TO no purpose, and there the
man lay watched by the sagacious animal. AZ
Ter lying in this condition for some time phg-
*,cian, who had been sent for, arrived, and vet
ahe elephant would allow NJ one to approach.
NJ length the keeper became so far conscious as

come near, and the animal was dociie obedief

What else was this but the exercise of hu-

MY MOTHERS VOICE.

There's music in the autumn wind,
Around the dripping caves;
Aud where its pinlons stop to play,
Among the fallen leaves.
There's music in the rivers flow,
Along The pebbIy shores
When all the winds have gone TO sleep,
And boaghs are swayed no more.
There's music in the cricket's song,
hear through evening shade,
And in the low OF distant herds,
Returning from the glade.
There's music in the household tones
That greet the sad or gay,
And in the laugh of innocence
Rejoicing in its play.
But there is music sweeter far
In memory than this
l he musie of my mothers voice
Now in the land of bliss.
A masic time may never still
hear il in my dreams,
When all the fondness of her face
Once more upon me beams.
know not what the angels hear,
In mansions in the skies
But there is not sonnd on earth.
Like mothers gentle voice.
The tears are in my clouded eye,
And sadness in my brain,
As nature whispers 10 my heart
She will not come again.
A mother, oh, when she departs,
Her like is never known;
The records of affection speak
OF only, only one!
And brighter will that record grow
Through all the changing years
The oftener 10 the lip is pressed
The cup of sorrows tears.

An Affecting Scene In Western Log Cabin.

It was nearly midnight of Saturday night
that passenger came to Col. s., requesting
him TO go to the cabin of settler, some three
miles down the river and see his daughter, a
girl OF fourteen, who was supposed to be dying.
Col. S.----awoke me and asked me to ac-
company him, and | consented, taking with me
small package of medicines which | always
carried in the forests; but | soon learned there
was no need of these, for her disease was past
cure.
"She is strang child,p said the Colonel
"her father is a strange man. They live to-
gether on the bank of the river. They came
here three years ago and no oRegkneNs whence
or why. He has money and is Keen shot,
The child has been wasting away for year
past. | have seen her often, and she seems gif-
ted with marvellous intellect. She seems
sjmetimes to be the only hope of her father"
We had reached the hut ofthe settler in less
than half an hour, and entered it reverently.
The scene was one that cannot be easily for
gotten. There Were looks and evidence of lux
ury and taste lying on the rude table near the
small window. and the bed furniture on which
the dying girl lay was as soft as the covering ot
sleeping queen. | was Of course startled
never having heard ofthese people before; bnt
Knowing it TO be no uncommon thing for mis-
anthropeS to 90 into the woods 10 live and die,
was content 10 ask no explanations, more espe-
caly as the death hour was evidently near.
She was fair child, with masses of long
black hair lying over the pillow. Her eyes
were dark and piercing, and as they met mine
they started slightly, but smiled and looked up
ward. ! spoke few words 10 her father, and
turning TO her, asked if she knew her condi-
ton.
II know that my Redeemer Iiveth," said she.
in voice whose melody was like the sweetest
totes of an H,oian. You may imagine that
her answer startled me, and with few words
Of like import, | turned from her. A half an
hour after and she spoke in the same melodious
.voce:
'EFather, am cold, lie down beside me" y
And the old man lay down by his dying child
and she twined her emaciated arms around bis
neck, and unrmurpd in dreamy voice, 'sDear
father. dear father"
ssAly chiId,' said the old man, 'sdoth the food
seem deep TO thee O.
sNay father my. soul is strong"
s'Seest thou the opposite shore %
81 see it, father, and its banks are green with
immortal vrrdure.'
"Hrarest thou the voices of its inhabitants !'

falling from atar in the still and solemn night
time and they call me. Mothers voice, too

BY SEBA SMITH,
The night was clear and mild,
And the breeze went softly bv,
And the stars of Heaven smiled
As they wandered up the sky;
And they rode a gallant ship the wave
Bat many hapless wight
Silent the sleep of death that night,
And before the morning light
Found a grave
All were sunk in soft repose
Save the watch upon the deck;
Not bodng dream
OF the horrors OF the wreck
To the mother, or the child, or the sire;
Till d shrek Of woe profound,
Like death -kneIl echoed round,
With wild and dismal sound
shrek OF s'fre!'
Now the flames spreading fast
With resistess rage they fly,
Up the shrouds and up the mast,
Are Pickering TO the sky;
Now the deck Is in a blaze; now the rails
There's no place TO rest their feet,
Fore and ait the torches meet.
And winged lightning sheet
Are the sails.
No one heard the c ry of woe,
But the seal bird that flew by;
There hurrying TO and fro,
But no hand TO save nigh;
Still before the burning foe they were driven
Last tarewells were uttered there,
With wild and frenzird stare,
And short and broken prayer
Sent TO Heaven!
Some leap over in the food
To the death that waits them there
Others quench the flames with blood,
And expire in open air;
Some, a moment 10 escape from the grave,
On the bowsprlt take stand
But their death is near al hand
Soon they hug the burning brand
On the
From bis brimy ocean-bed
When the morning sun awoke,
To! the gallant ship had fled!
And a sable cloud of smoke
Was the monumental pyre that remained;
But the sea-suls round II fly,
With quick and fearful cry,
And the brands that foated by
Blood had stained.

water from spring at the sea shore, and as she

she has been gradually getting out of health,

alarming that her life was thought TO be in great
danger No medicine or physician could give
her relief, till las. week. DR.. Huntoon being
called in, gave her potion that, on Saturday
morning, relieved her Of live eel foot in

.Hfempt 70 Destroy a Passenger ITa7n on
the Michigan Southern Railroad.-The Chica-
go papers bring us the details Of a fendish at
tempt made last week TO destroy the Evening
Express train nut of Chicago Some wretch
had placed pile of ties and rails across the
track, and chained them down. A freight train,
which happened to be behind time, coming first
10 the obstruction, was dashed into pieces, not
a car remaining whole. The engineer and
fireman were badly hurt, and sixteen valuable
horses instantly killed. The accident preserved
the Express train, and we shudder TO think
what might have been the result had the latter
reached the impediment first. No clue has yet
been found to the perretrator of the diabolical
act, nor can any cause for il be snrmised.
