- THE SURGEON’S STORY, “Will you buy my body, sir ?” I, Charles Markham, a young physician, was setting alone in the dusky little room that the sign without dignified -with thie title of “Office” when the words fell upon my ears. I had just returned from visiting the few patients I could boast of, thoroughly heartsick at the want of humanity in. the world, wet to the skin, and more than half frozen. I never remember a worse night in all respects. It was as cold as the Arctic, blustering, and the sleet that rattled upon the windows soon covered them with a coat of ice. It had storn]\ed heavily all day, the stores were’closed, and the sidewalk venders driven to shelter. — i “God help any one that is forced to be abroad to-night,” had been my thought, as I hurried along after finishing my professional duties, and breasted my way homeward. But scarcely had I reached it, changed my saturated garments, coaxed the sparkling anthracite into a cheerful glow, made m;yself comfortable and began buildingicastles in Spain,jof the time when I slhiould have a lucrative practice, ride in my carriage and own abrown stone front, when the strange and heart chilling words fell upon my ears, causing all my pleasant fancies to drift away in an instant. : “Will you buy my body, sir?” - I sprang from my easy chair, dropping my colored meerschaun in my astonishment, and turned to see who it was that, like Poe’s raven, had uttered the terrible words. “Will you buy my body, sir ?” The- question was repeated for the second time before I had sufficiently recovered myself to become convinced that it, came from no ill-omened bird, but from a form of human semblance, at leadt. Yet the question was so utterly unusal, 5o much at variance with all preceived notions of barter and sale, that all Icould do was to push a chair toward the-intruder, and stand in silent wonderment. s In a few moments the self command. I had learned during ry hospital practice came to my aid, and I.saw that my visitor was a woman—or girl, rather, for she could not have been more than nineteen or twenty at:-the utmost; and, that is if it had not been for the extreme pallor of the face, the pinched-up look about the mouth, and the sad, sunken eyes, she would have possessed, far more than isordinarily the case, the rare gift of beauty.. _ The flickering light of the fire flashed upon the soft brown hair, giving it a more golden glory, and dissolving the snowflakes that had lodged there, and" made them glitter like liquid pearls.— This much, and that the dress and shawl were of the cheapest material, and but a poor defense against the howling storm and pitiless cold, and the strange request darted again with lightning rapidity through my brain. “Draw mnearer to the fire,” I said. “Y(l)uare benumbed. Warm yourself ande et G

“I have no time, and must not stay,” she answered with a sigh, though she dropped -heavily into a chair and brushed away the snow drops froni her face with her thin hands. ~Without waiting for further remonstrance I hastened to get some reviving ‘medicine, of which I saw she stood much in need, and with gentle force held it toher lips. : : “I cannot, cannot,” she grasped, half pushing it away. o ; “You must,” I insisted. “Remember I am a physician, that this is a preseription, and that your life may depend upon it.” S “Life! Oh; God! How long-and sad! Will it give me strength ?” : “That certainly is the object I have in urging you to take it. What else should it be ?” i . “@Give it to me.” - And she swallowed it without a mur- - mur, save one of thankfulness, - I wheeled her chair up nearer tothe fire, and stirred the coals to a more brilliant glow—hopingthat the potion ‘would quiet her excitement, awake the chilled blood to a warmer, swifter flow and that sleep would follow. ' And, for a moment, I fancied that I was right. The'little hands dropped nervously into her lap; the softly veiled. lids dropped over the deep blue eyes; the head fell forward upon the breast. But, alas: it was a’ momentary delusion. In another instant she sprang to her feet again, pressed her hands upon her temples, as ifto still their throbbings, and looked wildly. argund, : 0, God!” she exclaimed; “I here, aniic}’ warmth and comfort, ‘and, and

Convulsive sobs choked any further utterance. ity “Sit down and tell me the reason of your coming here,” I almost commanded, as I placed her in the chair. ) “Ah! I remember all, now. Remember! Is there no such thing as forget~ fulness? Yes I remember all, T came here to—to—-" Ty -“Be calm. I understand you are in need, and come for assistance.” - “I came,” shereplied, and looked upon me with utter despair, and spoke so calmly that it made my blood run cold, “I came, doctor, to sell you my body” . o

Was I talking to a sane woman or.a maniac? The latter was certainly my thought; but I could detect nothing in the clear blue eyes of the wanderings of insanity. “Sell her body!” She spoke of it as an every day fransaction. : S “Great heaven!” I exclaimed, laying nty finger-upon her pulse with the expectation of finding it bOulld_i:ng with race-horse rapidity; but on the con-

trary, finding it far more calm than my own. “Great heavens! you cannot be in earnest?” . ;- e 2 “I am in earnest. | God alone knows ‘how much in-earnest. It wasmy last .resort. Willyou buydt?” .1 /. And she reached out her hand toward me as a miser would have done wlllg heard the dear sound of jingling go $ B 4 1 ‘-' e “How can- I ptirchase it when you" are still alive?” 3 “But I will soon be done, and then —then you-claim it. For the love of: heaven, give me a little;, just a little. money.” And the hitherto dry eyes ‘ were flooded with tears, j e “Why do you wish tosell it? You cannot but understand that it is an’ unheard of proceeding. ‘Our profession never. purchase bodies (how I shuddered as I gazed in her face, while I was forcing myself to calmly utter the words) before death, no-matter ‘what we might do after.” : ' “I know lit, I know it; but I must have money, and there is no other means left me toget it. I must haveit now—instantly.” ' ' * And she would have risen again,but I resolutely held her down. “Fdr what purpose do you wish it ?"* “To purchase food, fire, medicine.” . “For yourself ?” - “Ah!no. Had that been the case I never would have come hither. I would have laid down in the gutter and died. God knows how willingly. But -tell me,” she continued, almost fiercely, “will you give me some money ? 1 must have it—must have it.” “If not for yourself, in the name. of heaven, for whom would you make such- a fearful sacrifice. It is one who is very near and dear to me.” “It is—is—my little sister.” : The words dropped from hertongue as they might have dropped from that of an angel, and her face wore as holy a light ag if she had been already star crowned. v o

“Then she is sick ?” ‘ “Dying! dying! and I am sitting idly herel! i P : “Why did you not tell me this beforerd it “Because I had begged so long in vain, I had no money to pay a doctor, and who would go forth upon such a night as this without it ?” j My blood boiled so that I could not answer. Could there be such men ?— Alas! reason told me.in a moment that her words were but too true, and I almost cursed my race. Without delay I gathered up such things as T thought might be ‘of service, wrapped 3‘lB delicate form in a heavy cloak, and yith a few whispered words of comfort we sailed out together into the black night, and the matchless storm and cold. e ° Fortunately the distance we had to travel was but a shot one. A few blocks passed, and she led me up several flights of dismal, ereaking stairs into a room. o | “Florence, is that you?” I heard asked by what my ear convinced me ‘was a pair of childish, almostinfantile lips. 2 “Yes, my darling, lie still for a_moment.” ‘ e “I am so glad; you have been so long—so very long away, and I am so sick and cold and hungry, and it .was so dark, and I have been so frightened at strange noises.” o i My fair guide had been making preparation to obtain alight;but when she heard these words she flew to the other side -of the room, and I knew that many warm kisses were given and Teturned. ! I answered not. = Her voice had a melody in; it, now attended by love, that I wished it tolinger unbroken upon my ear, like the strains of some songs I have heard, which have haunted me for years.

In a moment the candle shed a sickly light around the little room. Little indeed, and unfurnished to nothingness! One scantily covered bed was all! But within I saw a sweet wee face that made me forget all else. I approached it andlaid my hand upon the pulse of the little sufferer. “Who are you?” she asked, drawing back in alarm. “Ie is a doctor, Bessie; an@ dear good kind friend,”’replied her sister,and from that moment she became perfectly passive in my hands. . It did not require one learned in the science of materia medica to see what was required. I made the proper prescription, saw that-it was tenderly administered, told the eldest sister that I would be back in a few moments, and resisting all her attempts to light me down stairs, groped my way_into the street. I had noticed an eating house at but a little distance as we came along,and a statement of the casge, backed by the all powerful king of the world, gold, soon procured the loan of the disused stove, a couple of chairs, fuel, light and:proper food, and in a brief half hour the little room wore something like an air of comfort. Another hour the eyes of the child were closed in slumber, and I urged her sister to seek repose, but in valms e i

“At least, lie down and let me cover you with my cloak,” I urged. . *“No, doctor,” was the constant reply, “T cannot, I am so happy. It must. have been God that directed my wandering steps to you.” And so we sat, with the night wind roaring without, watching the almost angelic face of the peacefully slumbering child — sat and talked of what I was more than anxious to hear. But the conversation of those long dark hours, can be condensed into a verybrief space. i { She who would have sold her body for the sake of giving a little longer life to her sister, was the daughter of at least supposed wealth., But a few years previously she could have held her head as high asthe highest. Both birth and:education fitted her for it.— But misfortunes came—a series of disasters upon land rand sea, against which ne human: forethought could gnard, combined with trea(ﬁx'ery and ingratitude of the deepest dye, swept away all. . In their footstep followed the death of the mother, leaving an infant of but a few months old. = The fond father struggled against the tide manfully, for a brief time, when his health gave away, and he followed his wife through the .dark valley and beyond ' the shining river; Jeaving' the eldest sister.to provide for' the younger. s ey

“For a time)” 'continued tire poor girl, “I was able tolive comfortably by the -sale of the ‘furniture and articles of value that I possessed. Then—-why should 'l' unbosom miyself to a stranger?” she asked, stoppi,n% suddenly and Tooking me full in the face.' ' ~ “Because,” T réplied with a smile at her earnestness, “because you have found a true' heart and one who can' feel for you,” 1" L ,“Yes, may heayen be, thanked! I feel that it is sa, Well, I struggle b? —lo, fo'ught"w*é’fé{hgfl‘m_ “word/”’

she continued, with the lines about her mobile mouth suddenly becoming hard.. "“I fought for life, sometimes teaching, someétimes sewing, in short doing anything that my -strength permitted, until sickness came, still I gave not -way to despair.’ Truly I was bound to the stake —a sweetone —my darling sister. Of the insults I received while seeking work I shall never speak. They must remain forever locked in my own breast;” and the pallid face was flushed to scarlet even at the thought. TN “And found no employment?” “None! Piece by piece I parted with the little furniture that I was the possessor . of, until what you see was all that remained.” e -“My poor child.” : “It is true”—l saw that she was nerving herself to tell me something that was painful—very painful—andwould have stopped her, but she resolutely continued. ' | i * “It ig true some money was offered me by more than one man, but I instantly and indignantly hurled it back in my insulter’s face. ‘Then, great heaven! upon this bitter night, with all gone, I determined to sell my body to some surgeon. : “What in the name of heaven could have putsuch an ideain yourhead ?”

“I don’t know. I cannottell. Somewhere I had either read or heard of something of the kind. - : “¥ou must have been very desperate. i ™ “On the verge of distraction. T had but one dream, one desire—to save my darling even ‘a single hour of pain.” © “Fave you no relatives.” . ' “Not a.single one that I know of.— Both of my parents were only children ‘when their parents came from foreign landg’’ i ) 'She paused and turned to smooth the hair of the slumbering Bessie, and imprint a kiss upon the curl-wreathed ‘and snowy brow; and I thought what desperate trials one like her must have passed through in order to bring her mind to look calmly upon giving herself to the knife and the ribald jests of the dissecting room:. And I thought, too,, of the sterling truth of her young heart that could resist the alure‘ments of gold when so hedged by want and pain in their most terrible shapes. I thought, ‘too—but she interrupted me with: “My kind—indeed, I might say my only friend—whom God raised up for me in the hour when all was darkness and misery, and black death and a pauper’s. graye was staring'me in the face. My kind friend—butlam keeping you from your rest.” “Me? A physican’s rest is one that is constantly broken in upon and —will you pardon me? I had never had my heart so‘ deeply touched, nor my feelings so much interested in all my life.” ' ' A faint rose blush crept up from the exquisitely moulded throat andmantled the soft cheeks. She took my hand and pressed it to her lips, leaving a warm, lingering kiss upon it. Did I suddenly build any castles in Spain ? -. ‘When the morning light broke again over the gay city the storm had ceased, and nature smiled—coldly, it is true, but brilliantly. There was a peaceful breakfast served in that little room, but the dinner was taken in far other quarters. - s - As I write these lines I, with some, at least, of my dreams of wealth and position realized, sit in a cozy study and listen to the wrathful howlings of the tempest without. There is a beautiful, brown-haired woman sewing near, and a sprite of a girl decorating a snow-white kitten with a crimson ribbon, on the rug in front of the glowing grate. I look up suddenly from the book I was reading at the former. Our eyes meet. Are we both thinking of the past? It may be so. She steals softly behind my chair and twines her arms arouhd my neck. : : o “Darling, do you remember such a night as this, scarcely a year ago?” she asks. - “Yes. I was thinking of it.” “And of what brought me to you?” “Yes.” She bends still nearer to me; I feel her warm breath upon my 'cheeks; I feel her fervent: kiss—such a one as only a young and lovely wife can give; and I hear, asif it were whispered rather by spirit than mortal lips: “Now, my darling, T am yours, body and 50u1.,” SRI

Garments Made Waterproof. A writerin an English paper says: By the way, speaking of waterproofs, I think I ean give travelers a valuable hint or two. - For many years I have worn India rubber waterproofs, but will ‘buy no more, for I have learned that good Scottish tweed can be made entirely impervious to rain, and, moreover, I have learned how to make it so; and, for the benefit of your readers, I will give the recipe: In a bucket.of soft water put half a pound of sugar of lead, and half a pound of powdered alum; stir this at intervals until it becomes clear; pour it off into another bucket, and put the garment therein, and let it be in for twenty-four hours, and then hang it up to dry, without wringing it.— Two of my party—a lady and gentleman—have worn garments thus treated in the wildest stornis of wind and rain, without getting wet. The rain hangs-upon the cloth in globults.” In short, they were really waterproof.— The gentleman, a fortnight ago, walked nine miles in a storm of rain and wind, such as you rarely see in the South; and, when he slipped off his overcoat, his underwear 'was .as dry as when he put them on. This is, I think, a secret worth knowing; for cloth, if it can be made to keep out wet, is, in every way, better than that we know as most waterproofs.

—The Benton correspondéent of the Goshen Times, of the 4th inst., writes as follows: “We witnessed a sad spectacle on the streets of Benton a few days since. A blind woman led by a boy 13 orl4 years old with two smaller children—a-girl and a boy—clinging to her, was going from house to house soliciting aid from those upon whom she called. Why3s it that such- persons are permitted to wander over the country in this manner, when every State in the Union provides liberally for the support of the poor and unfortunate? It makes us shudder: when we contemplate the future of those innocent children, if permitted to be thrown upon the “cold charities” of the world, unprotected as they dre;at such an early period in life.” The same writer says that “a few days since a flock of cranes passed over this place in an easterly direction.
