flashed upon him that the doctor himself be-
trayed symptoms of being an opium slave.
He bluntly put the question.

The doctors pallid face, his trembling
nerves, his lustreless eyes, gave one answer,
but the honor of the man made him pause
been deyoting so much labor and time to the
study of this case, he said, that bis health
had felt some ill effects; but he had now be-
come even more hopeful than ever, and he
felt that the future was bright with almost
assured hope. He said it was clear that the
father himself had become the prey of his
unfortunately morbid surroundings, and
that he sorely needed change Of air "In
short, you should go on a sea voyage, hope
for the best for your daughter, and when you
return you will receive good news; L assure
you that you will"
Reassured by his confident tone and man
ner, the Baronet acted upon DIR. Fielding's
suggestion. He was away for a considerable
time, and, being continually advised of the
rapidly progressing recovery of his child, re-
turned at last, improved in health
and full of joyous anticipations.
His arrival was quite unexpected. The
butler admitted him, but he rushed rapidly
by and entered the room where it was indi-
Gated he would find his child. There he en-
countered the doctor, who was just arousing
himself from an opium sleep. His daughter,
half awake, was reposing in an armchair,
her eyes half closed, the lines OF her face
softening and changing as her mind swayed
in the elysium of the opiate. Horror-strick-

a look upon his face that told of murder
But, at that moment, natures hand stayed
him, his heart ceased to beat, his eyes closed.
Apoplexy, brought on in the moment of
wild excitement, had claimed victim. The
doctor made a feeble effort to restore him,
but his vascillating mind could not grasp the
necessary treatment. When the servants
came in, they found him by the body, glib
bering idiotically They carried him away
leaving for the time the beautiful victim Of
an incurable malady, asleep in her chair.

In the same salon where 1 met my political

comical account of the laborious life which
he, in common with most of his confreres,
leads in this whirlpool of Paris. 1t was past
midnight, and he was just calling on his wife
to accompany her home; but as people were
only beginning to come, l suggested that he
was going away too early. Mon cher,

up at $50, taking cup of chocolate and get

butt against the barriers of overwork always
rising in front of him.

seIf-Care in Nursing the Sick.

81. raul Pioneer Gress.
To those who are called upon to nurse the
sick through a long and severe illness it is of
the utmost Importance, not only to them
selves, but to their patients, that their own
health should be preserved and their own
strength maintained, not only throughout
the critical stage, but during the period of
convalescence, oftentimes so tediously pro
longed. To all such we submit the following
simple precautions to aid them in preserving
Their own health while nursing the sick: If
the malady of the patient be such as to cause
any marked odor of the breath or noticeable
exhalations from the skin, take care always
to sit on that side of the bed or sick person
which is opposite to or away from the direction
which the etfluvium takes toward the windows
or draught of Il fireplace. Sit so that their
BREATH etc, is carried away from you. Do
not sit too close to them, or take their breath
if you can avoid it. To keep ones own
strength in a case of prolonged care and par
ticularly if obliged to sit up all night for
many nights in succession, great benefit will
be derived from taking warm bath early in
the morning and putting on fresh under
garments every second morning; or if the d.
sease be particularly infectious in its nature,
it is best to change the Undertaking every
morning. 1t will be found that the warm
bath, followed by brisk rubbing of the
whole body with a coarse Turkish towel or
flesh brush, will refresh the wearied body
almost as much as sleep. At the same time
keep up the appetite and strength by small
doses of quinine. two to five grains three
times day, and nourishing diet.
