Oliver Wendell Holmes physician, phi
losopher and poet) gives the following ae-
count OF some mistakes which have been
made in medicine:
Sooner or later everybody is tripped up
in forming diagnosis | saw Velpau, the
great French surgeon, tie one Of the caro-
It'd arteries fora supposed aneurism, which
was only little harmless tuDor, and kill
ed his patient DR.. Dease, of Dublin, was
more fortunate in a case he boldly declar-
ed an aneurisln. He thrust lancet in
to it, and proved himself in the right
Soon after, he made similar diagnosis
He thrust in his lancet as before, and out
gushed the patients blood, and his life
with it. The next morning DIR. Dease was
dead and floating in his blood. He had
divided the femoral artery. | have DOOM
ed people, and. seen others doom them,
over and over again, on the strength of
physical signs, and they have lived in the
most contumacious and scientifically un-
Justifable manner as long as they lived,
and some are living still. l see two men
in the street very often, who were both as
good as dead in the opinion of all who
saw them in the extremity. People still
insist upon living, sometimes, though
manifesty moribund. In DIR. Elders life
of Kane, you will find story of this sort,
told by Dr. Kane himself The captain
Of the ship was dying of scuryy, but the
crew mutinied, and he gave up dying for
the present to take care of them. An old
lady in this city, near her end, got little
yexed about proposed change in her will ;
ordered a coach, was driven twenty miles
to the house of relative, and lived four
years longer Cotton Mather tells some
good stories which he picked up in his ex-
perience or out of his books, showing the
unstable equilibrium of prognosis. 81
mon Stone was shot in nine places, and as
| he lay for dead the Indians made two
hacks with hatchet to cut his head off.
He got WELL however, and was a lusty fel-
| low IN Cotton Mather's time. Jabez Mus
grave was shot with a bullet that went in
his ear and came out of his eye on the
other side. A couple of bullets went
through his body also. Jabez got well,
however, and lived many years.
Pre- contra, Colonel Rossiter cracking a
plumb stone with his teeth, broke tooth
and lost his life. We have seen physicians
ldying, like Spigellus, from scratch; and
man who had crQwbar shot through his
head alive and well. But you can never
be too cautious in your prognosis, in view
of the great uncertainty of the course o
tany disease not long watched, and the
many unexpected turns it may take. o

Z I.SKINDLING.

The country is fall of fswiRdleFs, and, they
play their vocation with an ease that as
tonishes many people. They are called
confidence men, and they may well be,
inasmuch as so many people place conf
dence in them. This swindhng does not
astonish us; and never did, Whoever
heard of person who reads, the newspa-
pers, being swindledl Werqusstion if
many, or, any, cases of the kind can be
found. But those who are too penurious
to take newspaper, are the ones who get
their ''eye teeth cut by the confidence
men. In Muskingum county, few days
since, two men in different parts of the
county, we're diddIed out of a sumof $500
and $3.50, by two swindlers. In the lat
ter case, the fellows were arrested and the
money returned The money was bor-
rowed and worthless articles 1eft IN pledge
for it. i s'e.f.ai. s'a's baesail5isi 7ii =.
Not long since, several farmers were
''done for by confidence men who were
selling churns. The farmers gave their
notes for the chuFns but never got them.
Of course the swindlers sold the notes, and
got the money, but the green ones never
got the ehuFns. l.iH ,E,q ati .rla'aa1sr,
In Chicago, not long sinoepal green fel-
low from the country, lost a snag sum Of
$3.50 by reposing too much confidence in
an entire stranger. y9ae .sssz' sssi5 -
. Last week Elady purchased $50 worth
of goods in a Cincinnati store. Assboy
presented himself and begged to carry the
package home. The lady toOkcompassion
on the boy, and conided the goods in his
care; but neither boy nor the goods have
since been seen. ya.- -sl sslars- sif
"A fellow in Cincinnati goes round and
finds where boys are saving wood. He
goes into the house and asks for portion
of the pay, saying lIe'is their father, and
of course it ispaid him. = iof
We could readily fiji our column with
such incidents. We give the above as
sample of the thing. If persons would
only take the newspapers, they would not
be so easily eFiddled by confidence men,
Some people never learn wisdom-they
prefer to buy it at a pretty dear rate.

While here | have heard a romantic
story that l am assured is true, and which,
assit reveals the Inconsistency Of woman,
and the elestic character Oflthe feminine
heart am not inclined to-reject A
young woman, possessed of fine person
and property, a member Of one of the
oldest and most fashionable families in the
State, became engaged to-a young man
in her own grade in life, who was a Major
in the rebel service, and was to marry him
at the termination of the war, if be sur
yived. If he did not, she was to remain
ever true to her vows, and, being Cath
lie, had promised to enter convent and
become only the bride of Heaven. They
were model pair of lovers, and all who
knew them believed they were embodi-
ments of poetry, tenderness, and devotion
to each other; that they lived what bards
had sung, and romances had described
They were like two blossoms on one stem
planet and its ray, -.i...-...-se
As usually happens, fate frowned on
their felicity, and, jealous of their love, cut
short the sentimental Majors being at
Fort Wagner. Elosia was mad with grief,
and inconsolable forevermore. Her par
ents believed she would not, and could not
live; and that if she died not, she must
be reft of reason.
Months passed. Charleston fell Co
lumbia was threatened. Elosis remained.
She was anxious to be slain by the barba-
rians who had murdered her lover. The
union forces arrived, but had something
else to do than to kill women, and Eloisa
survived in spite of herself. 7oe.
She heard the regiment was IN town
that had charged upon the battalion led
by her best beloved, and she resolved to
see the Colonel and denounce him as the
slayer of her prince and peace. Eloisa
saw him and had a tremendous seene.=
The Colonel was handsome and gallant;
and when the fair girl thundered, as all
her sex do at first, and then rained, he
was touched and interested in the un-
known woman. He comfoFted and con-
soled her, realizing the truth of the idea
that the heart is never so susceptible to a
new attachment as when it is recovering
from an old one. isai' = +"isti,aa7 -7eis.,
aa In four weeks she had learned to love
the Yankee savage, and expressed herwilL
ingness to be his; while he was resigned,
as. most men are, to be worshipped by her
if she was bent on such a folly. -.
They were married in spite of the
threatened anathemas of all her relatives
and friends, and are now in Europe, no
doubt renewing on the continent the war
that in America has ceased, but. which in
dominions domestic has no end. -

woNpERRUL CALCULAFIoN.

A writer thus undertakes to convey
some idea of the greatness of the popula-
ton of China =st, Ills bos t-q.g
''The mind cannot grasp the real i'm

He also supposes this mighty multitude
to take up its line of march, in a grand
procession, placed in a single file six feet
apart, and marching at the rate of thirty
miles per day, except on the Sabbath,
