from the T.aily's Hook. BY T. S. ARTHUR. After a day of unusual anxiety and .aliguf. Dr. Elton found himself snugly wrapped up in a liberal quantity of blankets and bed quilts, justas the clock struck twelve one stormy night in February. Tor over half an hour lie had Iain awake racking his brain in reference to two or three critical esses which were on his hands; but tired nature could keep up no longer, and the sweet oblivion of ideep Hf.j ste ling over his sense. But just as he had lost himself, the bell over his head began to ring furiously, and brought him into the middle of the floor in an instant. Pushing his head out of the window, he interrogated the messenger below, just to save tli3t individual the trouble of giving the'bell-rope another violent demonstration of His skill. 'Mr. Marvel wants you to come and ee Charley immediately,' replied the ,'ncssenger.

Why, what's the matter?' 'lie's got the croup, I believe.' Tell him I'll be there in a moment, r ' Dr. Elton, drawing his head. II ur ig on his clothe?, he descended to his office, and, possessing himself of some necessary medicines, it being too late for the family to send out a prescription, wrapped his cloak around him. and turned out into the storm, it ira at least half a mile to the resi '?nce cf Mr. Marvel, and by the time the Doctor arrived there, he w as cold, wet and uncomfortable, both in mind and body. Ascending to the chamber, he was not a li'tle surprised to find Charley, a bright hu.e ieilow of some two years old, sitting tip in his crib as lively as a cricket. 'O Doctor! we've been so frightened! id Mr. Marvel, as Dr. Elton entered We thought Charley had the croup, he breathed jo loud. Hut he don't seem to ''t n;iv worse. What do von think of I. in. Doctor!' Dr. Imiou ftlt hi pulse, listened to his i 1 spin'.iou. examined the appearance of hi- -kin. ami then s -id, emphatically. 'I think you'd better all be in bed!' If e better to be scared than hurt, Docr,' i r-p :i'!e I Mr. Marvel. Ilumf Id tj iailated Dr. Elto t. Don't you think you'd better give him something. Doctor?' said Mrs. Marvel. What lor, ma'am?' 'To keep him from having the croup. Don't you think he's threatened with it?' 'Not hail" as much as I 3m,' replied the Doctor, who made a quick retreat, fearing hit he should give wav too much to his rritated feelings, and offend a family who were able to p'iv. Next morning, on the debtor side of his ledger, under the name of Mr. Marvel. Dr. Elton made this entry: To one night to son, so. 'And it's we'd for me he's able to pay it,' added the Doctor, ntally, as he replace ! the book in the .iwer from which he had taken it. ocarcely had this necessary part of the business been performed, when the same messenger who had summoned him the night before, came post haste into tha office, with the announcement that Mrs. Msrvel wanted him to come there immediately, as Charley had got a high fever. Obedient to the summons. Dr. Elton soon made his sppearance, and found both Mr. and Mrs. Marvel greatly concerned about their little bov. 'I'm so Trai.I of the scariet fever, Doctor!" eaid Mrs. Marvel. 'Do you think it's any thing like that?' she continued with much anxiety, turning upon Charley a look of deep maternal affection. Dr. Elton felt of Charley's pulse, and looked at his tongue, and then wrote a prescription in silence. 'What do you think of him, Doctor?' asked the father, much concerned. 'He's not dangerous, sir. Give him ih s. and if ha should grow worse, send lor me. i The Doctor bowed and departed, and the fond parents sent off for the medicine. It was in the form of a very small dose of rhubarb, and poor Charley had to hare his nose held tiht, and the nauseous stuff - - - - - try poured down his thioaL In the afternoon, when the Doctor called, on being sent for, there were some slight febrile symptoms, consequent upon excitement and loss of rst. The medicine, contrary to his expectation, heightened, instead of allaying these; and long before night-fall he was summoned again to attend his little patient. Much to his surprise, he found Mm with a hot skin, flushed face, and -"i.-kencd pulse. Mrs. Marvel was in a ; of terrible alarm, knew there was more the matter with than you thought for, Doctor!' said 1 mother, while Dr. Elton examined ... patient. 'You thought it was nothing, but I knew better. If you'd only prescribed last night, as I wanted you to, all this might havo been saved.' 'Don't be alarmed, madam,' said the Doctor, 'there is nothing serious in this fever. It will scon subside.' Mrs. Marvel shook her head. It's the scarlet fever, Doctor, I know it is" he said, passionately, and bursting in'o tears. 'h

tress vourself. I assure vou there is no

danger!' So yo;t said last night. Doctor; and just see how much worse lie is getting As Dr. Elton was generally a man of tew words, he said no more, but wrote a prescription, and went away, promising, however, at the earnest request of Mrs. Marvel, to call again that night. About nine o'clock he called in again, and found Charley's fever in no degree abated. Mr.". Marvel was in tears, and her husband was pacing the floor in a state of great uneasiness. C). Doctor, he'll die, I'm sure he'll die!' said Mrs. Marvel, weeping bitterly. 'Don't b? alarmed, my dear madam,' replied the. Doctor. 'I assure you it is nothing serious.' O, I'm sure it's the scarlet fever! It's all about now.' 'Xo, madam, I am in earnest when I tell you it is nothing of the kind. His throat is not in the least sore.' 'Yes, Doctor, it is sore'' 'How do you know?' responded the Doctor, examining Charley's mouth and throat, which showed not the least symp tom of any irritation of the mucous mem brane". 'It can't be sore from any serious cause. Sonl3 trifling swelling of the glands is all that can occasion i!, jf 3ny exists.' 1 Thus assured, and in a positive manu?r. Mrs. Marvel's alarm in some degree abated, and after ordering a warm b-th, the Doctor retired. About three o'clock the Doctor was again sent for in great haste. On entering the chamber of his little patient, ha found his fever all gone, and he in a pleasant sleep. What do you think of him, Doctor!' asked Mrs. Marvel, in a low, anxious whisper. I think he's doing as well as ho can.' 'But aint it strange, Doctor, that he should breathe so low? lie looks so pale, and lavs so quiet! Are you sure he's not Dying!' exclaimed Dr. Elton, 'he's no mors dying than vou are: Keallv, Mrs. Marvel, yon torture yourself with unnecessary fears! Nature is only a little exhausted from struggling with the fever. he will be like a new person by morning.' 'Do not mistake the case, Doctor, for we are very much concerned, said Mr. Marvel. I dt) a?-wre vou. sir, that I understand the case precisely; and you must believe me, when I tell you that no patient was ever in a better wav than your little bov.' Next morning, among other charges made by Dr. Elton, were two against Mr. Marvel, as follows: o four visits to son, sl. To one night visit to so7i,v'u 'Not n bad customer!' said the Doctor. with a smile, as he ran up the whole ac count, and then closed the book. In the constant habit of sending for the Doctor, on every trifling occasion, whether it occurred at noonday or midnight, it is not to be wondered at that apietty large bill should find its way to Mr. Marvel at the end of the year. And this was not die worst of it; the health of his whole family suffered in no slight degree from the fact of each individual being so frequently under the influence of medicine. Poor Charley was victimized almost every week; and instead of being a fresh hearty boy, began to show a pale thin face, and every indication of a weakened vita' action. This appearance only increased the evil, for both parents, growing more anxious in consequence, were more urgent to have him placed under treatment Dr. Elton sometimes remonstrated with them, but to no purpose; and yielding to their ignorance and their anxietv, became a parly in the destruction of the boy's health. 'What is that, my dear?' asked Mis Marvel of her husband, Eome ten months after their instruction to the reader, as the latter regarded with no pleasant countenance, a small piece of paper which he held m his hand. 'Why, it's Dr. Elton's bill 'Indeed! How much is it?' 'One hundred and fifty dollars!' O, husband!' 'Did you ever hear of such a thing" One hundred and fiftv dollars, did you say?' Yes, one hundred and fifty dollars! Aint it outrageous?' 'It's scandalous! It's downright swindling! I'd never pay it in ihe world! Who ever heard of such a thing! One hundred and fifty dollars for one year's attendance! Good gracious!' and Mrs. Marvel held up her hands, and lifted her eyes in profound astonishment. '1 can't understand it'.' said Mr. Marvel. Why, no body's had a ppell of sickness in the family for the whole year. Charley's been a little sick once or twice; but nothing of much consequence. There must be something wrong about it. I'll go right off and see him, and have an understanding about it at once Carrying out his resolution on the instant, Mr. Marvel left the house and ptoceeded with ranid steps towards the office of Dr. Elton. ' He found that individual in. Good morning, Mr. Marvel! How do you do to-day?' said the Doctor, who understood, from his countenance that something was wrong, and had an instinctive perception of its nature. I

'Good morning, Doctor! I trot vour bill

'But there muot be, Doctor. How' in the world could you make a bill of one hundred and fifty dollars against me? I ve had no serious sickness in my family.' 'And yet, Mr. Marvel, I have been called in almost every week, and somelimes three or four limes, in as many davs. ' Impossible!' 'I'll show vou mv ledger, if that null satisfy you, where every visit is entered,' No, it's no use to do that. I know that you have been called in pretty often, but not frequently enough to make a bill like this.' 'How many night viit do vou sup pose I havo made to your family, during the year. 'I'm sure I don't know, three or four.' Not more than 'I've maile tnn!' 'You must be mistaken. Doctor.' 'Do vou remember that I was called in last February, when you thought Charley had the croup!' 'And the night after?' 'Yes. That's but two And the night you thought he had the measles?' Yes And the night after?' 'Yes. But that's only four.' !.nd the three times he fell out of bed?' 'Not three tiiaes, Doctot!' Yes.it was three times. Don't vou ... ... reen ect the kmih on his head 'Yes, indeed' 'And the sprained finger?' 'Yes.' 'And the bruised cheek?' 'Well, I believe von are right about that, Doctor. But that don't make lent times.' 'You have not forgotten, of course, the night he told vou lie had swallowed a pin?' 'No. indeed.' said the father turning ------ F3 pale. Do you thijik there is any danger to be apprehended from its working its wav into the hear.. Doctor." 'None at all, I should think. And you remember ' 'Never mind. Doctor. I suppose vou are right about Vhat. But how can ten visits make one. hundred nd fifty dollars?' Thev w ill make fifty, though, qnd that! is one-third of Jie bill.' You don t pretend to charge five dollars h visit, though. Doctor?' T'or all visits after ten o'clock at night, we are allowed bylaw to charge live dollars 'Outrageous!' Would you get up out of your warm bed after midnight, turn out in a Decernber storm, and walk half a mile for live dollars?' I 'I can't say that I would. But then it's your business Of course it is, and I must be paid for it Any how. Doctor, that don't account for the whole of this exorbitant bill.' But one hundred day and evsning visit here on my ledger will, though.' You don't pretend to say vou have paid my family a hundred visits, certainly?' I 'I will give you day and date for them, if necessary.' 'No, it's no use to do that,' said Mr. Marvel, whose memory began to ba a littie more active. 'I'll give you a hundred dollars, and sav no more about it; that p enough in all conscience.' I can't do no such thing, Mr. Marvel, I have charged vou what was right, and can take nothing off. What would you think of a man who had made a bill at your store of one hundred and fifty dollars, if he were to offer you one hundred when he came to pay, and ask for a receipt in full?' 'But that aint to the point." Aint it, though? I should like to hear of a case more applicable. But it's no use to multiply words about the matter. My bill is correct, and I cannot take a dollar off of it

'It's the last bill you ever make out of idea respecting a case like this. I have me. remember that, Doctor?' said Mr. seen many much worse recover, and have Marvel, rising, and leaving the office in a no doubt, as far as human calculation will state of angry excitement. go, that your daughter will get well.

'No doubt of it. I've heard of these

! tricks before; but it's . the last time I'll 'submit to have them played off upon me. The visit of Mr. Marvel somewhat dis I composed the feelings of Dr. Elton, and - he had begun to moralize upon the un - thankful position he held in the commundv, when he was aroused from 1ns re verie by the entrance of a servant from one of the principal hotels, with a sum , mons to attend immediately a young lady who was thought to be exceedingly ill. 'Who is she?' asked the Doctor. 'She is the daughter of Mr. Smith, merchant from the east.' I 'Is air' one with her?' Yea, her fuller.' Tel, liim I will be there immediately.' In the course of fifteen minutes Dr. Elton's carriage drove up to the door of the hotel. He found his patient to be a young lady of about seventeen, accompanied by her father, a middle aged man, whose feelings were much, and anxiously excited. At a glance, his practised eye detected svmptons of a serious naturp. and a closer examination of the case con vinced him that all his skill would be called into reouisition. With a hot. drv skin, slightly flushed face, parched lips, and slimy furred tongue, there was a dejection. langour, an ! slight indication of delirium and much apparent confusion of mind. Prescribing as he thought the case required, he l"ft the room, accom panied with the father. 'Well, Doctor, what do you think 01 her?' said Mr. Smith, with a heavy, oppressed expiration. 'She is ill, sir. and will require atten tion. But, Doctor, vou don't think mv child dangerous, do von." said the father with an alarmed manner. I ..... 1 1 1 'it is rnrht that vou should Know, sir that vour daughter K to all appearance threatened with the typhus fever. But I don't think there is any cause for alarm lonlv for grat care in her physician and attendants 'O Doctor, can I trust her in your hands But I am foolish; I know that there is n. one in this city of more acknowledge) skill than yourself. lmi must pardon father's fears. Spare no attentions. Doc tor visit her at least twice every day and vou sha'l h? well paid for your atten jtior.a. Save mv child for me, and I will owe you eternal gratitude.' 'AlVihat I can-do- for her, shall be done sir,' said Dr. Elton. Just relieved from tho care of a dange rous case, in its healthy change. Dr. EI I ton's mind had relaxed from the nnxietv which too freqently burdened it: for a physician s mind is always oppressed while the issue of life or death hangs upon hi - - J power to subdue a disease, which mav be too deeply seated to yield to the influence of medicine. Now. all the oppressive I sense of responsibi.ity, tlie care, the anx ietv, were to be renewed, End felt, witli even a keener concern. In the evening lie called in, but there was no perceptible change, excepta slight aggravation of all the symptoms. Th medicine had produced no visible salutary effect. During the second day, there was I exhibited little alteration, but on the morndecided character had supervened such as suffused and injected eyes, painful deglutition, an oppression in the chest, ac companied with a short, dry cough, pains in the back, loins, and extremities, and soreness throughout the whole bod-. These had not escaped the father's obervalion, and with the most painful anxiety did he watch the countenance of the physician while he examined the case in its new presentation. Much as he tried to control the expression of his face, he found it impossible. lie felt too deeplv concerned, and was too conscious of the frequent impotence of medicine, when ad ministered with tho most experienced skill In the afternoon he railed again, and found the father, as usual, by the bed-side His patient seemed to be in a narcotic sleep, and when roused from it, complain led of much giddiness, and soon sunk down again into a state of torpor. 'What do you think of her now, Doe tor?' asked the father, in a hoarse whisper, on the physician s leaving the chamber of bis patient. ,s impossible to iorm any correct and then assist nature, when the disease has abated its violence.' It w not necessary to trace the progress of the disease from day to day, until it leached its climax. When the fever did break, and a soft, gentle moisture penetrated the skin, the patient had but a spark of life remaining. Hut, as Dr. Elton, in his judicious treatment, had not resorted to venesec ion. nor to any powerful exhibitions of medicine, nature had only to read against the disease, and not against Dr. El:on. as a nuinaH agent, din tnc patifn' owe nsr 1 i cove 1 uuon-

physieian, by a single mistake, would have brought rdi to a fatal end. At the close of the fifteenth day, when every symptom indicated that convalescence or death would soon ensue, no one but a physician can imagine (lie painful, restless anxiety, which was felt by Dr. Elton. He took but little food, and slept hardly any during the whole night, frequently starting from his brief period of troubled slumber, in consequence of great nervous excitement. Early in the morning h called at the room of his patient, trembling. least a first glance should dash every hope to the ground. He entered softly, and perce ived the father bending over her with n pale, anxious face. She was asleep, lie took her hand, bullet it drop instantly. 'What is t he matter?' asked the father

in an alarmed whisper, his face growing paler. 'She is safe!' responded the Doctor, in a low whisper, every pulse thrilling with pleasant excitement. The father chped his hands, looked upwaros a moment, and then burst into tears. 'How can I ever rep-iy vou for your kill in saving my child! he said, after his feelings had grown calmer. It was nearly a month before the daugh ter wa? well enough to return home, during most of which time Dr. Elton was in attendance. For fifteen days he had attended twice a day regularly, and for neary as long a period once n day. While sitting in his office one dnv about three o'clock, waiting for his carriage to come up to the door, Mr. Smith entered, and asked for his bill, as he was about to eave. On examining his account book. )r. Elton found that he had made auout uuy visus, ana accordingly tie nvide out his bill fifty dollars. How much is this Doctor?' sii 1 Mr. Smith, eyeing the bill with something of doubt in the expression of his countenance. 'Fifty dollars, sir.' 'Fifty dollar"! Why surely, Doctor, you nre not going to take advantage of me i:i t'mt way." 'I don't understand yon, sir.' 'Why. I never beard of such an extravagant bill in my life. I have my whole family attended at home for fifty dollars a year, and vou hare not been visiting one of them much ovr a month Such-h th? bill is. you will have to pay it, sir. It just, and I shall not abate one dollar.' responded Dr. Elton, considerably irritated. Mr. Smith drew out his pocket-book slowly, selected a fifty dol'ar bill from 1- r. . t 1 . arge package, handed it to the Doctor, took his receipt, and raising to his feet, said emphatically I am a stranger, and you have taken advantage of me. But, remember, the gains of dishonesty wi'l never prosper!' and turning upon his heel, left the office. 'Who would b1? a doctor?' murmured Dr. Elton, forcing the unpleasant thought occasioned by the incident from his mind. and endeavouring to fix it upon a eae of more than usual interest which he had been called to that day. A word to the wise is sufficient: it h therefore needless to multip'y scenes il iustralive of the manner in which too many people pav the doctor. When any one is sick, the doctor is sent for, and the family all are impatient until In arrives. If the cacc is a bad one. l ei- looked upon ns a ministering angel; the patient's eve brightens when he come. and nil in the house feel more cheerful for hours after. Amid all inclemencies of the weather, at all hours in the day or night, he obeys the summons, and brings all his -kill, required by long study, and by much laborious practice, to bear upon the disease. But when the sick person gets well, the doc tor is forgotten; and when his bill appear. complaint at its amount is almost always made, and too frequently, unless he pro ceed to legal measures, it is entirely with held from him. Thse things ought not so to be. Of course, there are many hon ourable exception; but ever physician can exclaim 'Would that their number wa: greater.' Some persons .vho aro ready to sem for the doctor, on every trilling occasion seem to forget, that every time this indi vidual is called in he makes a charge. Others are strangely oblivious in reference to the number of visits mnde, and when in the course of a year, the doctor ha? been summoned some forty or fifty times. will contend that he has not been in ihe louse ten times, during the whole twelve months. But, as just said a word to the wise is sufficient, and so we drop the subect. AS IT WAT IX THi: DAYS OF 3I0XT1".ZT'MA. When Hernando Cortez conquered Mexico; in lolO. the citv of Mexico con tained a population of upwards of sixty thousand families. It was divided nit two distinct parts, 111 one ot which lived the nobility, and in the oihnr the lower classes. The public edifice nn 1 the dwellings of the court and nobility M ere built of stone. The temp! s were mag nificent. The one dedicated to it;nz:i.l the god of war, ami the most wohippedj of all their deities, was the in'o-t spciou. Bfsides the dwelling of the priest erected on the inside, a-sd the gr'.r. number "

squares, it contained many for other inferior deities, to which the people had to pay homage on their entrance this great edifice would accommodate more than ten thousand persons, who came to danen at their festivals. One of the squares was set out with trees, t regular distances, through which iron bars were passed, whereon were suspended the heads of victims who had been sacrificed to the gods. In another department was a large stone, terminating in an acute angle, upon which the priest suspended the victim to be sacrificed, cut open his breast, and took out his heart. A splendid chariot contained the grand idol. It was 'he figure of a man skiing upon a high nlt-r. flis head wan crowned with a helmet of burnished gold. In the right hand is held a c-pen?. and in the left a shield with four arrow?. The countenance was most horrific. The priests slowly withdrew the curtains when

they permitted the people to pay their adoration to this deity of their worship. On the left was another idol of similar display and charaeten'stie, pretending to ho his brother, and equally an ohjyci of profound adoration. The city contained eight temples of n similar description. The chapels in these edifices amounted to not fir from two thousand, dedicated to different deitic.-. They were constructed with great rnng-niitf-encc, ami their appendages and trappings were of etimab:.; value. No one cou'd ,appru:i('h ihe royal presence except being barefoot, with profound awe, and "a-d my gr-u lord" uttered in a suppies-ed tone.
