yawning chasms below; the mountains

in Germany my native home in N. Y. City & in
Buffalo, n. Y, and have been in the high estimation
known, which referance to DR.. L. A. Wolfe of N
Y, Professor White of Buffalo will testify. The
circumstance which calls forth this card is certain
false and slandcrous remarks which have come to
my ears from one calling himself a physician.
The last / heard was a sarcastic remark that :" he
would like to see me in difficult case of midwifery
Now it is sympathy with my at the cruelties
practced on them by men in medical practice for
want of knowledge in the profession, that chiefly
induced me to remain here, and if that gentleman
any other will be kind enough, to present me
difficult case, will attend it with great deal of
pleasure, that he and the public may form an esti

challenge any one number of physicians to prove
me inferior, in female practice, to any physician
in California: My diploma can be seen at my

The last part Of his speech had been
made with the old mans hand in bis
grasp for even then the thought had
not worked itself into Jareb's honest
mind that any pecuniary good was to
grow out of this.
But it was indeed Heppy's own broth
er; and one of the chief objects he had
in view when he first set out on his trav-
els, was to find his sister il possible
He had forgotten her husbands name,
having heard it but once in India, and
then only casually in conversation with
man who had just come out The old
man was rich and now that he had
found the only living relative he had on
earth, he resolved to settle down with her.
A large house on beautiful eminence,
the wealthy owner of which had died,
was for sale, and Uncle George bought
it; and thither he took his sisters family.
And in after times there were some great
things in that large house. The little
Crops had competent teacher, and
they became prodigies of learning ia
reb was utterly astonished at the won
derful intelligence they displayed.
But the balance was kept up. AS the
little ones became more and more adyan-
ced, and threw off childish things, Jareb
and Uncle George put them on, and be-
came children themselves. One day the
two old men were caught in the act OF
jumping leap-frog over each Others
shoulders, and had not Heppy came out
and stopped them, there is no knowing
how many necks might have been bro

good dame retained all her strong sense,

height of their childish joy, they might
have done much mischief, had she not
been ever near to watch over and protect
them and once | have it from good
authority }, when she caught them wrest-
ling at " sidehug," she took them by the
ears and led them into the house.
But they had to indulge in rough
sports sometimes /; for as Uncle George
had suddenly become thawed out from
the ice of misanthropy, and lonesome
ness, and as Jareb had full as suddenly
been lifted up from the dark depths OF
poverty and want. they found themselves
