Some people dream their lives
away. Then seem to live, not in
the present which they might enjoy,
but in a future theygmay never pos.
sess. They think, how happy they
would be if they were rich-if they
were learned-if they were influen.
tial; but they do not labor to get
influence, knowledge or wealth.
They only form to themselves bright
pictures of what they would do and
be, if they only had what they de-
sire; and the vision is so fascinating
that they turn with disgust from the
reality of the ever present. Pre-.
cious time, fair talents, golden op-
portunities are wasted, and their
dreamy existence closes with the
dreamless sleep.

COUNTRY Doctor.

In an intercourse extending
over many years with profes-
sional brethren both in the city
and country, we have often felt
how unjust is the appreciation
of country practitioners, as a class,
not merely by the public but by
the medical men who have been
trained and reside in the COM
mercial centers.
AS a rule, the country doctor
is a better educated man than
his neighbors; he has seen more
OF men; he knows their physical
and moral nature better; he has
daily opportunities to watch
them in the great crisis of life;
his sympathy is educated by the
frequent light of suffering; he
has learned the deep ingratitude
as well as the warm thankful
ness of the human heart. His
life is a hard and a poorly paid
one; and hard as it is, he often
does not insist on the reward
which he could obtain. % How
often do we hear of such one
that she is not a good collector"
Such experience and such
training do not tend to make a
man as sharp in money matters
as his neighbors; but it refnes
and cultivates the better portion
Of his nature. Who can estimate
the amount of unobtrusive char
ity which country practitioners
do every year? There is no pos
sibility of sending the penniless
applicant to some other doctor.
There is no "physician of the
poor" who has it a paid duty to
attend them. AT all hours and
in all weathers, to rich or to poor,
to the grateful and the thank
less, the country practitioner
must render his services; and he
does it cheerfully and willingly.
This solitary education of the
heart and intellect makes them
a distinctive class. In no other
do we find stronger and more in
dependent views, verging, we
grant, occasionally to DOGMA
tism, but, considering their lone
ly study, wonderfully rarely.
1t is not enough considered,
and yet it is strikingly true, that
many of the most beneticent dis
coveries in medicine, surgery
and physiology have been by
country practitioners, men, who,
in the retirement of rural life,
devoted their spare moments to
study and reflection on the hu-
man economy. For ourselves,
the most original and bold think
ers, and some Of the most skill
full combatants of disease we
have ever met, belonged to the
class Of whom We are writing.
They care less for therory than
for practice; less for words than
facts, and undisturbed by the
advocacy of therapeutic princi-
pies, they learn more of thera-
peutic possibilities"
