MY P ROTEG E BT GEORGE S. KAIME. - I have just returned from a visit to my proUge.- It is twelve years to night since I first ssw ltim, a poor, weakly lad of twelve, cold, tired, hungry and ragged. . It was in the far, far West. I went there on business, and one night, just at dark, I overtook him trudging along, so wearily that I took pity on him. . ; ; , 'Which way to night, my lad ?, I -.To S r-, sir.' : : ' 'Then jump up Toehind,' '..said I, 'and I will give you a ride.' He gave a quick glance at his shabby attire, and for a' moment ' hesitated, bat he was very tired,-and before'I could fepeat the request; he was on the horse. I am. very , tired said he, by way of apology' 'I Jiave, walked twenty miles to day, and still it is a long way to S . ' 'You must be weary; but what calls you so far?' . Work, sir ; :' ,. ; . 'You' have started out to seek. your fortune, have you ?' ' " ' ' ' ' . 'I ; hope, to - find it, sir,' said the little fellow, and then added .more as though communing with himself: than addressing me : -. If I get a living I shall not be discouraged fur a good many year3.V; . . ; -..'And your name, tny; lad V : ' ' -j 'Ilarry Willard, sir.' ; -. : Darkness came ;on suddenly; for the' sky was overcast with' thick clouds.. I looked to my revolvers no person felt safe iri that wild country without weapons and then rode on in silence. i Suddenly a soft, low voice behind me said: 'Take care, sir. I saw some men just ahead, near those, bushes.' ' As-he' spoke, my horse began'to prick up his ears and show fear, but the warning came too late to avoid the danger.' A man stepped into the path, and, grasping the bridle with one had, he present ed a pistol with the other, and demanded ''money. 'Knowing the desperate character of these ruffians, I replied to him with a pistol ball, and -then put spurs to my horse and dashed past him. I think tny "aim 1 was "not good; for I beard the report of a pistol just behind; but I escaped it. ' "' ' " '" ! "' "'i Little Harry heard it too, and he gave a start that almost threw him from his seat i I reached back just in time to save him; and at the same time he said ; 'Don't mind me; don't stop. - I can hear the gallop of a horse. ' ' ' -: . Oa - we rode, pursued and pursuers. I felt - the little arms that clasped me gradually relax their hold; but I had not the remotest idea of the cause. " Don't stop, sir; they are " gaining 1 Another mile and you will be safe.' What is the matter, my lati Y. said I, alarmed at the difficulty with which he 8poke.. V..Ii I f-di '. Hiir , .'I ' 'Don'tmind me,' said he, 'unless you want me to get off.' i i - I made no reply, but threw my arm around him, and, urging my almost exhausted: horse onward, fortunately reached a place of safety. : ! .". i j i Then I learned how narrow the chance that saved; my Ufa. -Harry .fainted the moment we stopped, and upon examination I found that the bullet that was sent after me struck his arm, which was clasped round my waist, and thus my life was saved., All. through .that ride, the little hero never murmured; with the warm blood trickling from' the. .'..wound and running his life away, he never uttered a cry. What,, with the fear that he might lose that good right arm, the certain knowledge ( that he, could not work for a long, time,and the thoughts of his dear. mother, toiling, and waiting for the little pittance he had promised to' send her, his sufferings must have been great; but he bore it in silence, and urged me on to safety. . J This was my introduction to Harry Willard. Poor little fellow. I can see even now how piteou9ly be looked up to me after we laid him upon the bed, and asked how long he would be obliged to lie there. . ? 'I came away with only a dollar in my pocket, and : poor mother hadn't much more, said he, with tears in his eyes I don't know how she will get along. - I shall not forget the look of joy and gratitude that came into his eyes when I told him be need not fear for his mother, nor himself. It was the first time that I fully realized the truth of those beautiful words, 'It is more blessed ' to give than to receive.' .t.." . Business called rne away the next day, and it was two years before. I saw Har ry again; but I left him in good bauds aud . heard Irom him often.., I, hardly knew him. He had grown . taller and more manly. The pinched and hungry look had left his face, and the wistlul, sorrowful gaze had gone out of his eye. To gratify me, he had attended school all the time; but he felt that he ought to be at vroik, and told me so before I had been with him half an hour. The little fellow was proud, and dependence was i.ksome. . ( And what sort of work would" you like ?' I asked, curious to know what his inclinations were. r' T I am not particular, sir, if It be honest, said he. 1 ; . - " '; You shall choose for yourself, Harry; so look about you.' ' ; He thanked ' me, and, putting on his hat, started out immediately.' He was eager to begin the struggle. - ; It was nearly dark when he returned,3 quite despondent, and, in reply to my question, said that he had not found work yet of any kind. " II 'But I shall try againsir. r ; T Where did you seek' it?' I inquired, 'Everywhere, sir. In the blacksmith's shop, at the carpenter's, at the tinman's, at the machine shop, and I can't tell all the places.'- fo f.ia i-u . r 'Hut have you no preference ?. : ; . 'Oh, sir, I know what I would like to be; but it is so much that I daren't think otilS " r ' ; . i He was up and away long before I arose the next morning. About the

middle of ; the forenoon, I ' went down r town, intending to look op a situation for him; but he forestalled me. ; I waspassing a building just erecting, when I e heard my name called, and, looking up, saw little Harry tacking the shingles on as fast as he could .make his hands fly. I've found it, said he:irMr. Saxtonwill hire me right along if you are wil--ling. .You will ' tell 'aim' 'yes won't1 yoa V : I confess that I was quite disappoint" ed and annoyed, for , I had other plans ? for him; but I yielded. I .had a - long r talk with his employer, told him how' we met, and bade him be kind to him and help him along. . -; : - , I remained but a few s days at S , and ten long years slipped by .before 1 saw Harry? aain- We" correspond ed , regularly, but I never could learn how he was -progressing. r He was doing very -well, was all that I could ever get fromi him. At last my curiosity w&s'aroused,and I decided to visit S ' j I had not yet become quite reconciled" to his occupation To my 'shame, bo it " said, I think I cared less for poor "Har--ry after I saw him apprenticed to a carpenter. Not that I considered him too good for the trade, (?) but I had intended him for a profession. . Perhaps the -picture my imagination conjured up a" rough, weary, stooping man, bending' over, the , bench day after day, with no' thought for anything; higher might' have influenced me, forgetting that true genius -will make itself known and felt" whatever the situation in life. It was, therefore, with no. great expectations' that I alighted in S once more. ri I, was not prepared for the changed, appearance of the town. It had become a busy, beauiifuL city, with crowded : streets, splendid Btorcs, palatial ' residences, and .vast ; ware-houses.. While gazing about me in pleased surprise, a little sign upon a largo iron front build-.' ing, caught my eye. - - -4 - 1 ' ! Hauht WitLARD, i .;??, : '" ARCHITECT AND BUILDER. ' 1 'Can it be my protege f thought I, and the next moment I laughed at the absurdity of, the idea. .-. I did not feel sat-, isfied, however, and I crossed the street, ascended , the stairs, pushed open the door to . the right, and entered a neat and spacious office. . At the table sat -my protege. ' ; He recognized me instantly, and, with glad surprise, gave me a most cordial welcome. ''-' ' : 'My best friend, you have come atK last !', "said he. .'I almost feared that you had forgotten me.' . 'Oh, no, Harry!' .'I replied, feeling quite guilty:' 'But how, .is it that you have got along so well ?' f-t .' ; st. 1 hardly know myself,' said he, . unless by doing everything well that I jiave" undertaken. ' Dj ? you know that I saw yonr disappointment when, I told, you I. had apprenticed myself to Mr. Saxton ? I did see it, and, to pleaso you, I looked; for other employment.. I failed to find it and went back to -Mr. , Saxton. : I am now glad of it. He was very kind, and' I think each of us tried to advance the other's interest.- When I had been with-' him six'years, he gave me a foreman's ' position, and from that time I have been very successful.; About that time the city offered a handsome snm'; for the best plan of a city hall. I was fortunate enough to get the ; award, and I, also,' got the job of. building it. You see ityonder. I made considerable .money" out of the operation, besides establish-"' ing my reputation as an architect and' builder. With the money I bought the lots on which this building stands, and, those adjoining. ' Last fall I sold half ; the land for enough to erect this building, the rent of which is sufficient for our support.'0r, Harry ?' - . Mother and I, uaid he, with a smile. , 'Let us go and see her.' ( Pointing to a single team that stood at the door, he .bade me step into the buggy and seat myself. ,ur. , 7x I have so much to do that Billy is indispensable,' said he, patting' the horse affectionately.: . . . i He drove along at a smart trot, chatting merrily the while, and at last drew up at the very spot where 1 had left him ten years ago. The house had been enlarged, and remodeled into a splendid mansion In answer to my look ot iu' quiry, he said : It was a dear old place to me,hnd I" bought' it' and fitted it up for mother How glad she will be to see yOn.' What else could I expect but a happy Lome ? And I found it, and hearts overflowing with gratitude. By steady perseverance and never-i, failing courage, my littlo ragged protege had risen, to affluence and distinction. He had more than repaid mt for the lit tie I bad done for him. I am still indebted to hi en for the service rendered on that, dark night, twelve years ago, when his little arm clisped about me, shielded me from death. What shall I do to cancel that debt?-'4; As I write I can hear the whack, whack, whack of a carpenter's hammer. A boy, scarcely larger than my protege ten ' years ago, is wielding it. I think as much of him in his rough attire, as of the broad -.clothed clerk at the desk in the store beyond, and I wonder whether . he will be as successful as my ; ' protege Perhaps I , will; give i yoa his history at ' some future 'lime.

GOD'S, THY COUNTRY'S AND TRUTH'S!"

. JOiTB 39, 1869. I . . iJi.i From the Scientific American.! . ' The Present Status of Medical Science. The present status of medical science presents some singular aspects." ; While the majority of the people, perhaps, res tain their faith in drugs; the doctors at least, those of the allopathic schoolare daily losing faith in them, and relying more upon good nursing, proper di ; etetic regiment '. and rest, for the cure of disease. ,. ". , n - ' . i ' .-. ; t Homeopathy,', with its infintesimal doses, has greater faith in its drugs ; but, ,whether this faith arises from the really greater success in the use of the remedies than is attained by. the .allopathic system, or whether that success is falsely attributed to the effect of drugs, given in so small quantities that their influence upon disease is imperceptible, and therefore harmless, is a question, we be-, lieve, not fully decided. - And it cannot be decided so long as many professed homeopathists do not conform to the practice -they profess, and jiersist in substituting the allopathic dose for the homeopathetic one. ' ' : ! '- ' There are quacks in all kinds of medical practice, quacks admitted into full communion and of good standing. In the allopathic practice the strictly honest physicians, who always give the remedies they pretend to give, who eschew bread pills, and 'give the real old fashioned 'kill or cure', dose, are the men of inferior talent and small reputation ; secretly laughed at by the knowing ones and' publicly praised in consultations. The treatment has been perfectly cor-, rect, ma'am,' says the wisehead,. whom the weaker brother has called in to reassure the anxious mother, who has had some , misgivings as to whether her old family doctor was not possibly treating her sick child erroneously. ' ;'The treatment has been perfectly correct. The constitution of - your child has been ad-' mirably prepared to receive the benefit of a course of tonics which I shall now Tecommend.' :' 'What tonics ? timidly asked'the weaker brother of the one of great repute. " 'A little wine and plenty of freef tea are the best for children, with perhaps a little, a very little, of any other simple tonic remedy,' says that oracle,'as he steps into M3 carriage, endeavoring to save, at once, the child and his own standing as a 'regular.' , , " , . 'Talk about the inefficiency of homeo pathetic remedies, says the practitioner of that school. 'See, ma'am, I will place one of these little pellets of stibium upon the tongue of your; Spanish greyhound, and presently he shall be literally . as ,sicki as a . dog.' Now, stibium, worthy -reader$ is antimony, and this metal and jtS7 salts are deadly poisons. The stomach revolts against a very small quantity of it, and it is never used in the allopathic practice except in mu nuto doses. This experiment, often per; formed to convince people' of the power of homeopathetic remedies, ' is convincing to people who know-nothing of the nature of the drug ; ' . ' r . '1 - We believe homeopathy "( is doing a good work, and that it will '. ultimately teach the world the utter, powerleesness of drugs, to cure diseases, but its prac .Uce ia not free from quacks,,who are, so to speak, 'neither fish nor fowl,' neither allopathists nor . homeopathists, .but simply, eclectics, doctoring as they think best for the good of the patient; that is, in nine r cases out of ten, not doctoring at. all, but humbugging patients into, the belief that they are doctored. This class of eclectics are , the most successful of physicians in all kinds of practice. What is disease is a question never yet satisfactorily 'answered. The alio"pathists affirm that the homeopathists treat only symptoms. But what do the former know of disease except symptoms ? Can they point out the subtle cause of smallpox? show how' it operates in the blood and taints the entire system?' Can they give you the origin of Brightst disease, or throw a single obstacle in the way of its progress ? Can they show the primary cause of tubercular deposit, or explain the myste-. rious nature of the scrofulous diathesis? Yet these are the men .who. claim, par excellence, to treat causes and not symptoms.-; ivr , - -;.- , - . , ' . " . - The following statement in the Radio cal, for June, is not exaggerated ;..,No branch of science ia in a more unstable and chaotic state than the science of medicine. : 'Earnest young men gradu: ate from the medical schools, and then throw pp the "profession with the frank avows 1 that they do not understand how an honest man can be a physician. Grave professors close their learned lectures "with the nat"r confession, that, although these 8 re the accepted theories of to day, a few years will undoubtedly sweep them all into the waste basket of posterity. Undoubtedly they will; and with them will go what Egyptian pyramids of pills and powders"! what rivers and seas of wine bitters and cherry pec torals, of pain killers and panaceas of every conceivable.,? sort, that have brought ealth to their venders and woe to humanity ! Every day marks the birth of some- new, and the. burial of some-old, nostrum more worthless, even, than ephemeral while temperance, cleanliness and exercise the world old "healers of humanity lose not one jot or tittle of their ancient virtues, though the world comes to a knowledge of and adherence to them by slow and painful" steps. It certainly has not learned that temperance means the intelligent nse of air that is good, and the rejection of 'all that is evil ;" that cleanliness includes' purity of person, purity of surroundings, " purity of soul and that, exercise, in its true sense, means a full and perfect development of the body in harmony with all the laws thereof.' ,t Says the London Quarterly Review : .The acknowledgement seems to become daily wider spread, that 'the man is greater than his maladies ,'. that his general: condition 'is of -more importance than his local ailments ; that .disease is a chance in him. . rather than in some parts af him ; and that no treatment can J

be of real ; service which sacrifices the greater to' the lesser. . . ', , ,n r. -f : This is what Dr.' Wisehead reasoned to himself,' when hen spoke to Weaker Brother, M. D., about the wine and beef tea, shrewdly , covering up his wisdom by the , , 'little. . tonic remedy,' . lest he should risk his standing with the Coun ty Medical-5 Society, and ' thus deprive himself of the opportunity of another consultation. . : - ' t r The London Quarterly Review fprth er remarks : It may be easily seen that ' a prime moving spir to a great deal of the practice, from which our medical guides are now . drawing: back, was a certain awful 'idol of, the marketplace,' called Inflammation., With fiery limb3 spread aloft, wielding weapons labeled Tumor, Rubor Calor, Dolor,1 -Effusion, ' Suppuration, Fibrinous - Exudation, Phlegmon, Fever, Ac, it has made all . fall down before it : and the more it has been sacrificed to the fiercer it. has ' seemed. It has been a veritable, Kalee. Of late, men of science have been picking at the skin of this ' hideous object of ,- faith, and have seen reason to pronounce . somo of its weapons ; of ; offense mere wind bags and tinsel. Though they can 1 not say but that there; is a sort of life in it, yet its destrnctiveness consists main i ly in the pitfalls encountered by . those . running away from the Bogy. Laying aside metaphor, it would seem, that inflammation 'consists in the'phenomena of a lower degree of lire.' The process of nutritive growth in the various ttis -sues of the body is arrested at an incomplete stage. For example,, what should have been the intricate meshes of skin, ' elastic, sensitive muscle, or mysterious gland, gets 110 further i than being a thickish liquid, ; which v can assume no, comely .form, can only multiply itself, -and appear in the. shape Of mucus or ' pus. This is suppuration. Again,, the swelling (ttsmor) of inflamed 'parts is a ' loss of one of the vital properties of the , small .blood ?e89el9 elasticity. .Spur them up to more life and the swelling vanishes. And so on. .. 'What is now principally" feared by the shrewder class is, not so much in -flammation as the panic which it causes. They almost prefer that those who have to deal with it should, shut their eyes than ' open them aad act upon their (right. A fashionable physician, who is la7,lAarn -hvfliloaiat , and acnte observer, was summoned to a case of rheumatic fever ot some days', duration. s ' -s...m.a. In the consultation, he pointed out that there was extensive inflammation of the heart,-to the extreme terror ot the ami ily doctor. , 'Oh dear, dear !rwhat, will you think of. me ? How can I forgive myself for r ' so ' neglecting my poor friend's case V Pray do not be dlsl ; tressed,' was the comforting answeri'it is just as well yoo did ; not find out the pericarditis ; you might, perhaps, haye treated it.'" - I' ' ; On the whole, we do not think the prospects of -the drag" trade,- for "a brisk ? business, during the latter half of the r twentieth century, are altogether flattering. , Before the expiration of that peri-" od, man will, perhaps, not have practically-learned that diseases may be warded off by a 'clean, temperate life ; but he will, at least, have learned that dis ease... once acquired, cannot be cured by cathartics, emetics, or any of the other 1 res,' and, throwing ' himself upon nature, will ' give her the best chance to. work be can,, and thus, secure the only possible chance he .has for recovery.

It is sometimes T: deemed unwise to speak at all freely in the presence of children; but a well-brought-up boy br girl is to be trusted ten times over rath-. er than a confirmed gossip. If the sexes are to be compared in this particular, by far the less respectable and less safe . gossip of the two is a full grown male gossip. We never hear it said that lit-. tic pitchers ' hare' long -ears', without feeling; that for the sake orjustiee andj fair play , that 'proverb should be capped t by some other, to' tho 'effect that an old; kettle may have as long a nose' for mis .1 chief as a new', one, or that large p Atch-. ers have wide spouts. f 1 '-' ' 1 Our incomes should be like our shoes; , if too small they will gall and pinch us;g but if too large " they, f will cause us tos stumble and trip. Wealth is, after 11 a relative thing, since he that has little and wants less is richer than he that has much and wants more.
