Many years ago these thoughts suggested them
selves TO the mind OF Dr. JOSEPH II. SCHEHcK, now
OF Philadelphia, but at the time OF VIII ch we speak

consumptive, and with little or no hope Of recovery
but with sufficient love OF life to prompt him tc

hope had faded away. His friends, who from time
