imbibed at all hours, morning, noon and
night, had caused him To aide from intel.

bodily labor, till at last, to adopt his own
phrase, he aid into Boap.yat. In other
words, Giles was now soap.boiler, in q
small way. he had come 10 be but the
fragment Of human being, a part oil
one foot being chopped of by an axe, and
an entire hand torn away BY the deyilish
grip Of steam engine. Yet, though the
corporal hand was gone, q spiritual
member remained; for, stretching forth
the stump, Giles steadily ayerred that he
felt an invisible thumb and fingers with
as vivid sensation as before the real
ones were amputated. A MANNED and
miserable wretch he was; but one, never.
theless, whom the world could not tram.

as q wild beast, and as miserable rs lost
soul; but there was supposed tobe in him
such wonderful skill, such native gifts OF
healing, beyond any which medical sci.
ence could impart, that society caught
hold Of him, and would not let him sink
out n its reach. So, sWaying to and fro
upon his horse, and grumbling thick &C.
cents at the bedside, he visited all the
sick. chambers for miles about among the
mountain towns, and sometimes raised a
dying man, rs Il were, by miracle, or
