The Surgeon's Revenge

The following deeply 'interesting story was related bv Dr. Gibson in 'ono o f his medical lectures before the medical class of the University of Pennsylvania. The hero of the instructive story is Vesale, one of the most eminent surgeons of the 15.h century. " !. . . . ..... .. Andrew Yc3 lo first saw the light in the city of Brussels. Iiis fuller wis an apothecary attached to the service of the Print-ess" Margaret, aunt of E.nperor Charles V.. and governess f th? Lv' C lu vi.'.s. .

" . ; 'It was during his sojourn at Basle, after his return from Italy, Vesale first beheld at the house of llans Halbein, the piainter. Isabella Van Steenwick, who was destined to exercise some influence over his futuro life.. He was scarcely 28 years of age, and had already attained tha summit of well directed ambition. Tho family of Vau Steenwick was a wealthy and honorable one, far superior to that of Vesale in birth and fortune; but the distinguished position the latter had acquired for Onself, entitled him to an alii-; ance even fm9roi elated. .The son of. the Princess Margaret's apothecary would have ! been rejected by the rich Uarlaem burger, but, as the Emperor's first physician, wa3 accepted as a most eligible son-in-law. The marriage solemnized, Vesale, accompanied by his young bride, sat off for Seville.where Charles then held his court. Though she loved hor husband there was so much awe mingled with her affection as to thiow an appcarace of restraint over her demeanor towards him, even in the privacy of domestic life.' The very nature of his profession and occupation was calculated to increase that awe, and ev in create some degree of repugnance in a shrinking mind, which nothing but strong affection could overcome. Isabella's nature required skillful drawing out and tender fostering. Vesale unfortunately, mistook her temerity for coolness, and resented it accordingly . This lead to estrangement on her part which he attributed to dislik; and jealous distrust at last took possession cf his soul. Vesalo's house became the resort of all that was noble and gallant in Seville, and he for a time believed his own scientific conversation to be the attraction. At fir-. ! young wife showed her usual ?ndith:eice to the admiration that fallowed her wherever sh was s'.Hjn; but at last, s nvatdiig in h.-r ina:inT aa 1 MtiiiiiVifi', whi"Vir ttif jiartiiuil ir pr- n upji!'-1 t ' !- was in' ri ieJ. b Vay i h' a 'r- v Lx is;, a h i.i ' who La ! ii-cVw-.';.i -hi scrj of i l l'i thrt 1)1 ! I il t.r M 'lUiKl! uoasly through her veins. That person was D.:i AlvaV de Sulis: and as he was voim and iiand'mc'the .. suspicions of Vesah; were painfully ' aroused. ; He took feilen', note of the unusual emotions that aghatod Isabella whenever the young man iwai in her presence. . . - The general conduct of Don Alvar was calculated to bafflo suspicion, being masked by indifference. This would have misled the valiant husband, had he not on one occasion when his back was turned towards Don Alvar perceived him, in an opposite mirror, fix his kindling eyes apon Isabella with an expression not' to be mlstiken, while she grew red and pale by turns and then as though unable to surmount her agitation, rose and left the room. Shortly afterwards Vesale received an 4 anonymous note, 6aymg. Look to your wife and-Don Alvar de Sol is, and be not deceived by appearances. For they only want a fitting opportunity to dishonor you. Even now he carries about the gloves she dropped for him at mass.".. Vesale shut himself up to ponder over the most effectual means to avenge himself. His resolution ' was soon taken. .Having 'established schoob of anatomy at San Lucar and uaruova, lie ootamea ins .emperor's permission to visit them, quitted Seville for that purpose, but returning tho same night he concealed himself in a tenement belonging to him at some distance from his abode in Alcazar, which he devoted Jo the doublo purpose of a labratory and dissecting room.- He had taken no person int his vengeuce, and "he listened to his own council. . : ' , At dark on the following evening, ho issued forth muffled to the eyes in ä woman's mantle-hood, and left a note at Don Ajvar'g habitation, containing an embroidered glove of Isabella's, "and there words: ; "I have obtained the key ; to Vesale's Jabratory; during his ! absence; be at the p-alo an hour after midnight, and you . will be admited on pronouncing the nama of t kii-- ' .

PLYMOUTH, INDIANA, THURSDAY, EEBRTJAEY

UJiJIUB The assignment was promptly, kept by Don Alvar. At an hour' past midnight he left his house alone; but never returned to it. AYhiiher he h:;d gone via One could say, nor could any trace of him ever be discovered. , It was supposed he must have missed his footing and fallen into the Guadalquirer, near which his abode was situated, and that his body had been swept away by the wavos into tl e ocean. ".Stich an occurrence was calculated to prilnce a great ' sensation in the place where it h i:l happr;ifd;: and Vesale recall--d V '.i at' er by he illness of his wif,. fun I ,!-. di-Jtpp.'M-a .ce if Don AlVI1'' Iii' 'I ..;)! r- ..verv tngu?.

But whilst her eyes were vainly , fixed upon the path by whic'n she expected hira, to appear, a hand was laid upon her shoulder, and turning round beheld Vesale standing by her side. "I have ordered tho supper, to be laid in my study! ad taking her by the hand he led her away to the room in question, dismissed the attendant and closed the doors. Everything wore a festive air; yet the repast was cheerless. Perceiving, that', she had tasted nothing. Vesale poured a few drops from a vial of elixir in a cup of Malaga wine, and presented it to her. "Drink this," said he "it is a sovereign cure for the complaint 'you are suffering from." "Pledge ma in tho draught," she returned, tilling a goblet from The flask, and handing it to hira, '.'and it will bring a quicker healing to me.' Let us drink .to our absent friend Andre." . i Vesale accepted the .'offering, and they emptied their goblets togither. . . vTalking cf friends' said he, and suddenly fixing his eyes upon her. ' you have not spoken to mo. of Don Alvar do Soli. Are all tho hopes of. hearing from hira relinquished? He was a braggart rnd a libertine, and boasted that no woman ever resisted his seductions, that no husband ever suspected the injury he was preparing for him." .. . ' ' . Then grasping his wife by the hand, he led her up to a door, at the further end of the room; and throwing it wide open, revealing to her viw a skeleton, suspended within, holding in one of his bony, hands ono of her embroidered g".ove3. , " Behold, " , he eaid, pointing : to the ghastly spectacle, "the gallant and'. beautiful Don Alvar de Soli, tho object of your guilty love contemplate him well, if the sight can render, your moments happier, for you are about; to die, too ihe wine I gave you was poisoned!" . When the. last dreadful sentence, and its more.dreadtul illustration burst! upon her aifrighted senses, she became paralyzed by excess of emotion.' the scream that had arisen to; her throat died; there in: strangling murmurs, and Making, fdl bit-k as one deal upon the arms oi' P.-sit. ..

' m .; i -:i ."AudreV'aid she, fixing her eyes upon her husband, "I am dying by. your . hand, yet, I am innocent; I never .wronged you by thought or d.ed; Don Alvar. pursued mo with hii love and threats, but 1 repulsed hira. 1 I never loved but you. I feared and honored you as much. as : I loved. But I dared, not tell you of hia pursuit. Oh, Andre, believe my. words; the dying deal not in falsehoods; should I be , thus calm were I guilty?" - ; . - .; , . Vesale, sinking upon his knees, solemnly protested his faith in the innocence of his wife, and with choking sobs abjured her to believe that he only feigned to give her poison, that he could not nerve his hand to take her life; but the terror, not death itself, was upon her! . And while he yet spoke, Isabella murmured: .. . -... "'Thanks be to( heaven. for this!" and drawing! his hand towards hers, laid it on her heart, and as she di J, it ceased to beat. i i t- i - : - ' . ' . , 57 Already" a bigger ship than the Leviathan has been projected in England a ship to which tha monster herself will be a minnow. It is. proposed to make her C,000 tons larger than the 'Leviathan, she is to sail faster and 'draw less water. , An engineer of Liverpoolnamed Clare, has come forward with a proposition for building an iron screw and paddle steamer, by way of testing a principle greatly the superior of the Leviathan. His . experiment is ; to , be tried on a scale, of startling magnitude, and he has already 'exhibited his models, which are attracting the attention of scientific men in England. . He .proposes1 to.buid a ship 1,000' feet in, length, 70 feet beam', and only thirty feet from deck".u .ke'eli ! raaking .her perfectly flat botto'nie J,' and her sides nearly square." In she would be 30,000 tons.

.. . - . Eloquent Speech, Senator Pugh, of Ohio, delivered the following eloquent speech on the death of Judge Butler, ot South Carolina: Mr. President and Senators, in the utterance ol a few simple words, appropriate on this occasion, I shall not admonish you with reference to the public services, or the public character of our departed and illustrious associate. Ho was, in truth, "A man from whose example, , As.from d compass, we may steer our fortunes, OuV action, and our age, and s.ife arrive at - A memory that shall become our ashesl" But this all know; this .would seem to be the shaie which all have, alike in tho memorial of r his lifo and achievements. I shall speak of him as he was known- to us, and to tltose whom, he honored with his acquaintance . . When the Senate assembled, ono week ago, pursuant to the requirements of the Constitution, three vacant places were found in our midst. The experienced and venerable Senator Mr. Rusk whom we selected to fill tlu chair at the last hour of the preceding session, and whose manly accents pronounced . our separation; the modest, amiable and accomplished Senator from New Hampshire, Mr. Bill with whom sereral of us had just concluded the firs stage of our allotted service heie the virtues of these niany as their virtues were, will be celebrated .by other a-id more eloquent ou;ea than mine. But the third place oh, sir, that hardly seems vacant. He has not come, as yet, to our session; but so vivid arc his countenance and his imae ia our recollection :so familiar the tones of his voice to the ear so close in our'hearts the pressure of his genial, bright, noble affection that we. rather expect him upon-the instant, again to enter those poitals, onci m re to bj with us and of us. than assure ourselves that ho has

gone, forever, to ilie portals'ol death. Whatever the' vacancy here, Mr. President and Senators, there is none in our memories, or in our love. Where only pure remembrance dwells; where the holiest of our affections, our sympathies,' our hopes, are gathered; '.where the controversies and mean ambitions of the hour cannot intrude; in that sacred chamber, with all the freshness' of his life, an expressive figure still abides, tha benignant eyes are beaming on us, and the tender voice is almost heard. He has onc from the bitterness which often, too often, distracts our counsels, which, causes us to forget the kind words of another time, the constant and indispensable acts of . courtesy, forbearance and personal regard, even ' the tried friendships and lh experience of troubles' and danger in common. lie is beyond all that could alienate him from us. The pasl will never be obliterated. Hu is our friend, and we arc his frbnds, until together (as I hope) in happier circumstances, in a blessed sphere, spirit with spirit unobstructed ' can eyeralsting communion hold. ' Lot us not mourn for him. The measured 'of daily cares and toils, of continual annoyance, of perplexity, misfortune and sorrow ho has tilled that, and with tha. has fiikfd the measure of his fame. He has obtained at length, as well as earned, a discharge from the service of his grateful country; and now retires, silently, in the ripeness of, aire, to its eniovment. In the .fragrance of that jrrove of laurels through which from cri high the ancient Eridanus rolls its copious flood in the company of those who, in all past' time, by wounds sustained in the public defense, by lives of purity and just example, by genius devoted to pious' ends, by the invention ; of useful arts, and other deeds worthy to be remembered, . have won the snow white fillett his temples are crowned with eternal felicity and houor. For ourselves, Mr. President and Senators, to have. been his associates, to have learned the beauty of his character and disposition such an advantage does not happen to all,' nor often to any man; It is for us to make the most of this; and, by this to imbrove the tenor of our conduct and conversation exalting to more lofty purposes the actions, the endeavors, the hopes of a ifetime. We shall thus derive from the inspiration of our departed associate, that lesson he would most have desiied to teach; and thus, diko him, finish our days on earth with the glory of a complete example to our, children änd our countrymen.

Magistrate: How came ' you in this wretched condition, Marcus Poole? Poole: With much composure, I don't understand what you mean by "wretched;" my condition is quite comfortable. M. Have you tried to get work? P. What's the use of trying? Don't they say there's no work to be had? " And if thero was any, I dou't want to take it awav from them that need it. M. Have yau no need of employment? P. "Not the least. I can -beg. a few pennies every day, and that's enough to keep me supplied with the necessaries of lif?. M. What are the necessaries of life? P. .What are they? Why, grog and tobacco. M. But you seem to want necessary clothing. P. 'That's "a mistake. I've got just about as much as I think is good for me. I'm warm enough, and what more do I want? M. ' Your drefs scarcely, answers the purpose of decency. P. Ah, whose 'fault is that? Was'nt I making repairs when; one of your fellows overhauled m-? If he had let me alone I should have been done up fit for anv kind of company. M. I think you must feel chilly with no covering except those '.wo garments? P. 'Pon my word and honor, Icould'nt bear another rair on me. Habit' evervthincr. Look at Adam and t'other anostles how' d've suppose they stood UV The thinner you learn to . drezs yourself, the nigher you come back to a slate of innocence. M. I'm afraid vou are not a living illustration of you doctrine. But as you have not committed any actual breach of tho paaee. I suppose I shall have to set you at liberty. However, I advise you to keep as as much out of public view as possible. P. I'm not anxious to show myself to anybody that don't like to look at me. After glancing defiantly around on the court and spectators,' Mr. Poole was conducted to the door of the -office and dismissed. Education oi Woman. Our people at large take too" little thought about the infinite importance of education, cspociallj' a right one for their children; and this is more eminentlv true i:: repaid to their precious daughters. Women of a soon coming aire! Neglect' woman aim ruin men i YY hat use m educating a woman? A hat I ind ruin men! use. l.et barbansm in Madegascar, or protligacy in Utah, or all manner of pollution in the dark realms of heathendom, be left'to ask; what all civilization, and all Christian philosophy answers with rational and conscientious triumph. Woman is the criterion of society. To improve and elevate the sex, is to advance and meliorate the species. What great and good man can you ordinarily show us, who had not a great and good mother? Is the influence of a mother, that U a mother, less potential, when excellent, because bores and fops and fashionable simpletons, never think of it? Because infidels, who believe in lourierism and communism, in polygamy and seraglios, in Turkish and Circassian slavemarts, and Oriental sensualism, utterly forget or discredit it? Should we not educate the greatest educators in the world? A mother first influ ences a man a son or a daughter, born into the world. For the infantile and formative years of life, she develops nurtures, forms, impresses, disciplinesand blesses or curses, a poor human stranger. What if every mother wa a Eunice, Lois, a Hannah, an Elizabeth, or, I had almost said, a Mary; what, in the constitution of God, might ve expectwith his own added blessing, on their duties and services and pieties in educating our successive generations of mankind liev JJrt Vox. Romance or Crime Iliad, Gottfried' the Murderess. The journal - of commerce 6peaking of the "National Hotel sickness, says, we fear the science has been but too successfully studied Jti; this age, both in Europe and America and illustrates with the fol lowing: v.Our readers may have heard of the noted woman Gottfried,, who lived in Bremen a quarter t-f a centnry ago. . She was a widow of fascinating appearance; in her youth beautiful, in more advanced life still attractive by .those preparative and decorative arts, of which a woman , knows so. well how to avail herself. All connected with her sickened and died in strange ways. Two husbands, her father, her mother, her brother and several children ' disappeared in a shor period of time. It was her lot to order no less than thrleen coffins! from the undertaker, who lived opposite to her, and for near and , dear friends. . Gottfried faithfully nursed them during their painful illness. :' She was an object of pity and sympthy, while she seemed .wonderfully resigned to the inscrutable decrees of Providenc. . A perfect Niobe she was, for her heart was as hard as that: celebrated statute.

but her love kilhd every object on which it alighted. The venerated parent, the man;: ly husband, the beautiful children withered and died. A Mr. Itumpff and his wifo, though dissuaded by friends, took lodgings in the same house with Madam Gottfried. She was all kindnes3 to them and theirs.. . But Madam R. was seized with vomiting, and died under the assiduous nursing of this disguised Alecto. The children and servants, met the same fate, and received the saue attentions. She gave them all their death, potion and smoothed their dying pillow. . Mr. Kumpff himself was seized; he ransacked the housa from garret to cellar to. find the cause; he believed there was some decaying substance some feted exhalation, like that of the National, which did all the mischief; he had the boards lifted, and the . walls examined, all in vain, but at length a white powder was observed on a bit of, meat, which had been left, and it proved to be arsenic. Madame C wa3 arrested, imprisoned, and though at first affecting great horror at the idea of be:ng ' accused as a murderess, finally confessed to all, and to much more than she said she could remember! She was sentenced to be beheaded, and that head preserved in spirits, and her skeleton in a case, may ba seen in the museum at Bremen. Have we such a murderer stealthly moving about in the public . places of the land, perhaps aiming at its highest dignatries?" Ax English View of the Negro. The Liverpool J'ost s&js: . : There arj twenty times as many 'niggers' in Africa as in the West India Islands, aud on .the American continents, and they are a hundred fold worse used. They are most miserable of human beings the most degraded of men. They have always been so; the cun for six thousand years at least has lookid down upon and found that not only 'black and curly but the most debased of slaves. It was not the white man who did' this the black man was the ty-. rant. A transfer to the white man was a blessing; bondage remainedj but how different from chains imposed on them in their , native soils, and original dwelling places.' The Post again asks, 'is the:e any hope for the future?' which it answers 'not . if things are allowed to remain as they are.

The whole mortality of the' last half century in tho city of New York amounted to 363,243, of which, the number of deaths under five years "of age was 176,043, or nearly 49 per cent. Tho fact appears that infant mortality in this city, which is fearfully increasing from year to year, is greater than in Paris, eight per cent above Glasgow, ten per cent above Liverpool, and nearly thirteen per cent above London. Much of this mortality is caused by impure and adulterated milk,especially that from cows fed on distillery slops, "which is a poison destructive cf and health life.
