Consulting a Physician.

| DIR. B. E. Getting, of Boston, told, al
recent gathering of doctors, the fol
lowing anecdote, which shows that
self-sacrifice has been a part of his per-
sonal experience:
y had been in practice year or two
when a prominent family, old friends
of my parents, sent for me. They had
sickness; and their family physician
had become SO deerepid by age and in
| firmities as to be unable to attend them
any longer. In those days it was a
very serious thing to change family
physician. 1t was an affair to be
talked over and well considered by the
whole family. Nowadays, YOU know.
| it is quite different. A family now
may even have at the same time sew
eral physicians in occasional attendance;
and. for merest whims, dismiss and re-
call them.
They cast off their doctors as a hnntaman his
For they l know # they wish it, they can whistle
Well, my friends were compelled to
elect new family physician, and after
due deliberation, they had sent for me !.
The family were assembled, and was
before them. They told me that they
had known me from youth, that they
had watched my progress through col
lege and through the Medical School,
that they had heard good accounts from
my teachers, and knew of my acquire
ments and satisfactory position in the
profession. They felt, they said, that
was Trustworthy; and that, putting
great confidence in me, they had sent
for me in their trials to tell them whom
they had better have for family ply
stefan!
| endeavored to be equal to the occa-
sion, and at once named practitioner
whom i would send for If i'll myself.
They thanked me; said that they knew
I would give them good advice, and let
me depart. They sent for the physi-
clan named, and he and his successors
have ever since attended the family.

cabinet or ParIor organs.

Among Cabinet or Parlor Organs, those made
by the Mason q Hamlin Organ Co. stand indis-
putably highest, having a most remarkable
record. In its present form, this instrument
was introduced by these makers, seventeen
years since, and the almost universal result of
comparisons at competitive exhibitions, and
testimony of musicians, is that the organs of
their make are unequaled by any others. Such
reputation have they obtained in foreign coun-
tries that London alone has purchased more
than one thousand of them in a single year.
At all the great Worlds Exhibitions for ten
years, at Paris, Vienna, Santiago and Phila-
delphia, they have carried off highest honors.
In the whole range of almost innumerable ar
ticles placed in competition in our great Cen
tennial Exhibition, last year, there is scarcely
one respecting which the report of the Jury is
SO emphatic in recognizing its superiority to all
competing articles They unanimously assign
TO these organs the first rank in the several
requisites Of the class" which is equivalent to
saying that they excel in all important quail
ties. Mr. George F. Bristow, the distinguished
composer, of New York, who was one of the
examining jurors, writes that the Jury had no
difficulty in deciding which reed organs were
entitled to highest commendation; adding, 81
believe that every member of the Jury heartily
eoncHrred in assigning to those of your make,
and yours only, the first rank in all important
qualities of such Instruments

and cover with pastry leaving an open

The following bits of agricultural
and domestic wisdom are taken from
the IoDa State Register:
Cows at any time should never lack
a full supply Of food and water.
-Fattening hogs should be pushed as
fast as possible before cold weather.
| The fact is established that if you
raise hogs it is not necessary to be one
yourself.
Profits come from lands which are
rich enough to produce good crops in
poor years.
Recollect Gala lilies are natives OF
ponds. Ihey cannot be Kept too wet
in pots for successful blooming.
No man can controvert it. We must
keep good stock as well as raise large
crops, if we would be good farmers.
In taking up plants from the garden
and putting in pots for windows
through the winter, do not take them
at once into a warm room, but keep
them for a faU davs in q cool room
Late growth of grass for pasture con-
tains too much water and too little
nourishment to keep cattle or horses
up to their flesh. Both need something
additional until taken in from pasture.

do it well. Not only to do it well, but
to love and respect the work. In this

How Great Men Escaped.

Some years ago young man hold
ing a subordinate position in the East
India Company's service twice at
tempted to deprive himself of life by
swapping loaded pistol at his head.
Each time the pistol missed fire. A
friend entering his room shortly after
ward, he requested him to fire it out
the window. 1t then went off without
any difficulty. Satisfied that the weapon
had been duly primed and loaded, the
young man sprang up, exclaiming, II
must be preserved for something
great" and from that moment gave up
the idea of suicide, which for some
time previous had been uppermost in
his thoughts. That young man after
ward became Lord Give.
Bacon, the sculptor, when tender
boy of five years old, fell into pit of a
soap boiler, and must have persisted

yard, observed the top of his head.

house. The utmost alarm was excited
among the inmates, and various devices
were used to rescue the child from the
guardianship of his newly-found pro-
tector. All was unavailing, his would
be rescuers had lost courage, and were
in despair of ever seeing the baby alive
again, when the monkey quietly re-
traced his steps and deposited its burden
safely upon the bed. On subsequent
occasion the water had well-nigh
quenched his Unsuitable ambition. He
fell into deep pond, from drowning in
which a clergyman was the sole instru-
ment of his rescue.
Doddridge, when born was SO weak
ly an infant he was believed to be dead.
A nurse standing by fancied she saw
signs of vitality. Thus, the feeble
spark of life was saved from being ex-

served to the world.

Duke of Wellington.
The life of John Newton is but the
history of marvellous deliverances. As
a youth be had agreed TO accompany

He arrived too late; the boat in which
his friends had gone was capsized and
all its occupants drowned. On another
occasion, when tide-surveyor in the
port of Liverpool, some business had
detained him. to the great surprise of
those who were in the habit Of ohSprv
