The last visit is to a pretty house,
where roses and jasmine cluster round
the windows, and all looks fair without ;
but within, in her little crib, fair
haired, lovely child lies gasping for
breath Group has seized her, and as she
struggles in his grasp her agonized pa
rents hang over her despairingly. The
doctor examines the little sufferer with
critical eye, and then turning hopeful
ly to the parents observes, "She has i'm
proved since last night; go on carefully
with the same remedies, and have eve
ry expectation that she will be all right
in few days."
Leaving renewed hope where agony
and despair had been, the doctor drives
home to receive visiting patients, occu-
pying himself once more with his book.
After ta,iguing day he has just re.
tired to rest. when he is summoned in
all haste to the gentleman to whom his
first visit in the morning had been paid
Feeling that no time is to be lost he
hastens to his bedside, but sees at q
glance that hope is at an end. The gout
has seized the very citadel of life; and
after few hours anguish the poor vic
tim of his own appetite has passed away.
As the doctor leaves the house SER
want of the second visited patient ar
rives, sent on from his own house to find
him. He announces that his mistress is
very i'll, and requests the doctor to visit
her at once.
The weary doctor drives to her door
and ascends to her room. What sight
meets his view Arrayed in her gauzy
ball-dress, the poor votary Of pleasure is
laid on her bed, the crimson life-blood
streaming from her pallid lips. A low
sigh heaves her bosom as she meets the
doctors Mortified look, and then all is
still-she has paid for her folly with
her life.
Sadly the doctor descends the stairs,
and reaches mis- home with sleep ban.
ished from his eyes. Nevertheless he
must try to rest, for out few hours will
elapse until eager eyes and anxious
hearts will anticipate the arrival of " the
doctors carriage"

Mr.. GREELEY AS A PoET.-Horace
Greeley INDUCED very sparingly in po-
etry in his younger days, and entirely
recovered from his disposition to do so
sooner than most men coyeting the priv.
ilege of print. His lines on the death
of VIM. Writ were noticeably good
however, and they apply very forcibly
to his own death and will be thus quoted
by million of his admirers
Rouse not the mufied drum.
Wake not the trumpets mournfu sound
For him whose mighty voice in death is dumb
Who, in the zenith Of his high renOwn,
To the grave went down.
Invoke no cannon's breath
To swell the requiem DER his ashes poured;
Silently bear him to the hyuse of death
The aching hearts by whom be was adored
lie won not b. the sword.
MOI let affections tear
Be the sole ribute 10 his memory paid
Earth has no monument so justly dear
To souls like his D. purity arrayedi
Never TO fade.
Then take thy long repose
Beneath the shelter OF the ieep green sod;
Death but brighter halo round thee throws
Thy fame. thy soul, alike nave spurhea the elod:
Rest thee in God.

TRUE PRIDE.

A YOUNG man named Parks, from
"a Worcester, entered the store of the
Lawrences, in Boston, and found Amos in
the Office. He represented himself as hay
ing just commenced business, and desired
to purchase lot of goods. He had recon-
mendation as to character from several in
fluential citizens of Worcester, but none
touching his business standing or capacity.
The merchant listened to his story, and at
its close shook his head.
81 have no DOUBT he said kindly,
that you have full faith in your ability to
promptly meet Che obligations you would
now assume; but have no knowledge OF
your tact or capacity, and as You are just
launching out on the sea of business,
should be doing you great injustice to al
low you to contract debt which did not
feel assured you could pay at the proper
time"
But Mr.. Lawrence liked the appearance
Of the young man and finally told him that
he would let him have what goods he could
pay for at the cost of the manufacture
about ten per cent. less than the regular
wholesale price. The bill was made out
and paid, and the clerk asked where the
goods should be sent
81 will take them myself" said the
purchaser
You will find them rather heavy sug
gested the clerk smiling.
"Never mind; / am strong, and the
stage office is not far away, aud besides,
have nothing else to occupy my time
"But," said the clerk, expostulating,
it is hardly in keeping with your position
to be shouldering such ponderous bundles
/ through the CITY,"
4 ''There you mistake" replied the young
man, with simple candor. 'My position
Just now is one in which must help myself
if would be helped at all. am not
ashamed to carry anything which honestly
possess, nor am ashamed Of the strength,
which enables me to carry this heavy bur
den."
4 Thus speaking he shouldered large
bundle, and had turned toward the outer
door, when Mr., Lawrence, who, from his
office, had overheard the conversation,
called him back
Mr.. Parks, have concluded to let you
have what goods You want on time. Select
Ia your pleasure"
The young man was surprised.
"You have true pride fora successful
merchant, SIR" pursued Mr.. Lawrence
"and l shall be disappointed if youdo not
succeed
Amos Lawrence was not disappointed
Within fifteen years from that time, Samuel
Parks was himself established ON Milk
street-one Of the most enterprising and
successful merchants in Boston. - Erchanqs.
