and some in favor of medicine.) But
little did / think they were going to
take the course with my patient they
did.
As soon as left, they took possession
of my patient, and commenced what
in my humble opinion, was work Of
death to the young man. They raised
a window and admitted all the cold all
possible into his room; when had been
very careful to preserve an even tenn.
perature; took the patient from the bed
where he was warm and in free per.
spiration; removed large blistering g
plaster from his chest, which had we'll
nigh drawn to fullness; removing
mustard from off the extremities and
applied to his bare blistered breast ice
cold water. Under this treatment the
young man survived some seventeen OF
eighteen hours.
And, to conclude the heart-rending
scene, they stood over the young man
while he was gasping in the agonies OF
death, shouting and singing, writhing
and clapping their hands in apparent
exstacy in their blasphemous works.
The old disappearing, God mocking
demon (BansiD stood by him with bis
hands closed, in which he said he held
Johns spirit, had held it for some time,
and could hold it as long as he chose.
And the woman, or rather maniac, who
ordered me to leave the room the night
previous-exclaimed that it was the
happiest day she had ever witnessed.
And thus they kept up a constant
harangue of indicrous and disgusting
expressions, accompanied by immune
rable and indescribable gestures and
manipulations until the young man
died; while all that he seemed inclined
to utter in his last Struggle, was "Jesus
have mercy on my SOUL"
Without further detail or comment,
l am Truly yours, &C.,

Dear Nefea.-I hevn't sent We a
lether since the last time / wrote to ye,
because we have moved from our former
place of living, an l didn't know
where a lether would find ye; but l
now wild pleasure take up my pin to
inform you of the death of your living
uncle Kilpathrick, who died very sud
denly last wake, after lingerin sick
ness Of six wakes. The poor man was
in violent convuIsions the whole time
of his Hines, lying perfectly quiet
all the while spachless entirely-ta talking
incoherently and crying for wather.
l had NO opportunity of informing ye
of his death sooner, except | wrote
you by the last post, which wiht two
days afore his. death, and then you'd
had the postage to pay. I'm at a loss
to tell-what his death was occasioned
by, but | fear it was by his last sick
ness. He was niver well tin days
together during the whole time of his
confinement; but be that as it will, as
soon as he braithed his last the docther
gave up all hopes of his recovery. 1
needn't tell We anything about his age,
for you will know that in May mkt he
would have been twenty-five years
ould, lackin tin months; and had he
lived till that time, he would have
been six months dead. His property
is very considerable, it devolves upon
his next kin, who is dead some time
since, so that expect it will be equally
divided between us-and then my dear
Larry yell get two-thirds of the whole,
and you know he had fine estate,
which was sowld to pay bis debts, and
the remainder he lost on a horse race.
But it was the opinion of all the ladies
present, that he would have won the
race, if the horse he ran against hadn't
been too fast for him-bad luck to the
baste. But poor soul, he never will ate
or dhrink more; and now, Larry, We
havn't a livin relashun in the wide,
world, except meself and yer two cous-
ins that was kilt in the last war.
But / can't dwell upon this mournful
subject, but will sale this lether with
black saleing wax, and put on yer
uncle's coat of arms. So beg We moi
to brake the sale, when we open the
lether until three or four days after ye
rasave it-by that time ye will be
bether prepared for the mournfull It'd
ings.
Yer ould swateheart, Mary, sends
har lova to va unheknonst tO me
When the bearer of this arrives ir
Hamilton, AK him for this lether, an6
if he doesn't know which one it is, tel
him it's the one that spakes of yel
uncle's death and sailed in black.
Yer affectionate aunt, in dape disthress,

Too late to plant the tender seed,
The sowing time is past;
Too late to prop the tender vine
That feels the wintry blast!
Too late to rear temple new,
The building time is o'er;
Too late to shift the rudder now;
l hear the breakers roar
Too late to gather fruit again,
The orchard trees are bare;
Too late to search the fields again;
The cleaners have been there.
Too late-alas to win me back
My long neglected love!
Too late-ah, no-not yet too late
To hope for rest above.

Comrades, Fill NO Glass for Mo.
BY STEPHEN c. FOSTER,

Oh, comrades fill no glass fer me,
To drown my soul in liquid flame;
For if l drink, the toast should be-
To blighted fortune, health and fame;
Yet though long to quell the strife
That passion holds against my life,
Still boon companions may we be;
But, comrades, fill no glass for me!
l know breast that once was light,
Whose patient sufferings need my care
know heart that once was bright,
But dropping hopes have nestled there.
Then, while the tear-drops nightly steal
From wounded hearts that / should beal;
Though boon companions We may be,
Oh, comrades fill no glass for mel
When l was young felt the tide
Of aspirations undefled;
But manhood's years have won the pride
My parents centered in their child.
Then, by the mothers sacred tear,
By all that memory should revere,
Though boon companions We may be,
Oh. comrades, fill no glass for me!
