A DISEASE OF THE HEART.
The days of my clerkship were ended ; my
examination was over; I was admitted;
Wrote nivsclf “ Nehciniah Hubba, attorney *,”
put up mv new, bright little sign, and in my
native village began my professional career.
No, I did not. either. I am mistaken. I
intended t pursue the honorable profession
to which I had dedicated iny talents and
learning in the place of mv birth ; hut never
was a truer word penned than Lite time-honor
ed proverb, ** A prophet has no honor in his
own country.*" I believe if I had remained
in the village of Green Briar till iny head was
white, they would have thought of me as noth
ing but a lo}*, and would have feared to trust
me. Even after mv sign was put up nobo
tly called me Mr. Huhbs; it was still ” Ne.' f
with old and young, and “ Ne” I would luuc
remained to this day had I remained in Green
Briar.
Only one caseclaimel mv attention dur
ing the three months of my patient contin
uance in Green Briar, after being admitted
to the bar, and that was the case of an unjust
ly impounded pig. “ feloneously extracted,
your honor, from the small but secure spot
in which my client had trustingly deposited
him: and maliciously driven to a public en
closure called a pound, for tiie vile purpose,
doubtless, of compelling my client, in his
poverty and destitution, to pay ‘lie enormous
fee that has been demanded of him, in order
to extricate the animal from his unpleasant
position and restore him to the bosom of bis
family !”
By this I meant the client's family, the pig
having none of its own. It was a figure of
speech undoubtedly, the family not inhabiting
an Irish cabin, but still it rounded off the
period snd sounded well to me as I repeated
over and over again my maiden speech, pac
ing up and down the floor ot mv little office.
In this mv first case. I was successful so far
us to rescue the impounded animal and save
thy client from the payment of an unjust
demand ; but it brought no silver to my pock
et, neither, to mv surprise, did it bring honor
to my name. The eloquence of my speech
did not form the theme, as I fondly hoped it
would, of paragraphs in the village papers,
or of discussion at. the corner of the streets :
neither did it bring to my office the rush of
clients for which daily I vainly made ready.
It was plain that I should never rise to dis
tinction in Green Briar, and so I came to the
sudden determination to remove from that
pleasant spot and settle in some city where
nobody knew or beard of me ; and where,
above all. there was not a soul to call me “ Ne.”
There 1 was more successful, and soon had
the opportunity of forming a very advanta
geous partnership. Business increased ;
mono}’ began to come in, slow at first, but
after a time more plentifully, and all things
seemed prosperous in ir.y outward circum
stances. But. alas! as wo are often told
poetically, there is no sweet without its bitter,
no rose without its thorn ; and trouble came
to me in the shape of disease, insidious and
slow in its approaches at first, long feared
and suspected, but at length betrayed itself
so plainly that I could blind myself no lon
ger to the truth.
Yes! I was. without doubt, a victim to
disease of the heart: not metaphorically, dear
reader, for never had the organ beat with a
quicker pulsation at the approach of mortal
woman. So far as the gentle sex was con
cerned 1 was a perfect stoic ; but that there
was organic disease about my heart I could
not doubt, and if ever the symptoms disclos
ed themselves unmistakably they did so in
mv case. There was a fluttering, palpitating,
irregular action, and at length, pain. I could
not work. Life had lost its zest. The fear
of sudden death was ever with me; I could
enjoy nothing. If I had had anvthingto leave,
or anybody to leave it to, I should have
made my will, for I was quite sure now that
I should drop someday lifeless in the street
or that the morning would soon come when
the power to rise from my bed would have
left me.
1 remained in my hoarding-honseand found
no comfort in anything nut my cigar, and my
dread disease grew worse and worse. As
yet I had consulted no physician, partly. 1
think, from the apprehension of having my
lea s confirmed ; hut as I sat by my window
one day. smoking as vigorously, as ever, gaz
ing abstractedly across the street, my atten
tion was arrested by a modest little sign up
on ai opposite blind—“ C. L. Todd. M. D.”
While thinking whether or not it would be
best to make a trial of the physician.s skill,
a sudden twinge and flutter decided me; yes.
I would send for Dr. Todd and know the
worst at once!
Summoning the only male servant belong
ing to the establishment. I told him to step
over and ask Dr. Todd to come and see me
as soon as possible.
The boy grinned.
“What are you laughing at ?” I asked.
“ Is not Dr. Todd a good physician ?”
“ob. yes. sir/’ he answered. I believe
she is a very good physician, but she lmin't
never tended nobody here.”
“ She !” said I to myself; “the bov, sure
ly, has Welsh blood in his veins; they al
ways she everything.”
The hoy returned saying: “The doctor
wasn't home, sir. but I left your name on the
slate.”
In the course of the afternoon ; as I lay
upon the sofa, with my hand pressed upon
my heart, to still its irregular pulsations,
there was a soft tap at my door. “ Come in.”
I called out, and, to mv surprise, in came the
neatest, brightest, most cheerful looking lit
tie woman it had ever been my lot to meet.
“ You sent for me. I believe, sir!” she said,
in a brisk, pleasant way.
I ? No, madam, you are laboring under
a mistake.”
“Ah! I beg your pardon,” said the little
woman. “I found on my slate the name of
Mr. Iluhhs. No. 14. Mrs. Grey’s hoarding
house, with a request that I would call and
seo him.”
“Your slate, madatne!” I exclaimed, mv
astonishment increasing every moment;
‘'you *urely are not a”—
“ Physician ! yes, sir,” She interrupted,
quickly ; “ I am a physician, Dr. Todd.”
“ Extraordinary ?” was all I could say, for
though I had heard at a distance of the ex
istence of such beings, this was my first in
troduction to a female practitioner of the
Esculapian art. It was rather awkward, but
since she had come. I determined to make
the best of it, and acquaint the lady doctor
with my case. She felt my pulse, asked
numerous questions as to my symptoms, and
then, in her quick, bright wav', exclaimed :
“ Nervous ! Nervous ! that’s all, depend
upon it. Excuse me. sir, but by the air of
your room I suppose you are much given to
smoking.”
“ I plead guilty.”
“And how many cigars do you usually
snoke In 9 ?”
“ I could not tell; I never counted ;as soon
as I threw* away one I took another, usually.”
“Hum ! a cigar in your mouth pretty much
all the time, eh ? Chew, too?”
Again a reluctant confession was wrung
from me.
“ I presume you sit up late, smoke all the
, time ?”
“ Yes, ina’atn. smoking and reading.”
*• That's it. No disease of the heart at all,
sir; nothing but tobacco. It will make you
fancy anything. It’ll drive you crazy, if
j you don’t take care. Now will yon promise
ho follow mv advice closely? If not, I will
take my leave immediately.”
I promised, submissive as a lamb.
“In the first place then throw awa} r all
your cigars and tobacco and promise to buy
no more.”
With a sigh given to mv sole consolations
I said I would do as she directed.
Many more directions she gave me as to
diet, exercise, early hours, etc. Perhaps,
she saw. too. that cheerful companionship
was something I needed, so she remained
awhile, talking with great glee and spirit
about matters and tilings in general ; and.
promising to call and see me the next morn
ing. she left.
I had not felt so well in a great while;
indeed. I had not given my heart a thought
since the little woman entered the room.
The next morning I found myself watch
ing impatiently for the arrival of mv little
doctor. She came bright and cheerful as the
day before. What a perfect little sunbeam
she was! I could not help growing better
under her care, and the influence ofher cheer
ing presence, and yet managed to contrive
some ache or pain every day as an excuse
for the continuance ofher visits.
At length I found that my heart, which had
long been quiet, and apparently free from
disease, began to flutter and palpitate again ;
but I observed it was only when I heard the
little woman's tap at my door, or felt her soft
fingers % on my wrist. In short, as she had
driven the disease out of my heart, that little
woman herself bad walked into it. I could
no longer blind myself to tiie fact; and when
she one day told me that I was now off the
sick list, and out of her hands, I determined
that she should not so easily get out of mine.
So I told her as she had now given ease to
mv heart in one respect, she must not leave
till she had done so in another, or I should
be worse ofT than [ was before. The little
woman looked perplexed.
Then I stated my case and explained my
svmptons a second time, showing her the
distressed state of my heart., and she alone
could cure it. The former disease she had
removed by an occasional visit; the latter
could only be cured by her promising to come
and take up her abode with me as a resident
physician. She understood me now. and by
the wav she pressed her hand against her
own little fluttering heart, one would have
thought the disease was contagions; and I
verily think it was. So now we are both to
apply to a clergyman who is to form between
us a life partnership as lawyer and physician.
But one thing troubles me. of which I had
no thought till now ; that it is necessary to
have our cards engraved. Married people
arc usually “Mr. and Mrs. So and So,” or
“ Mr. Such a One and Lady;” but will any
one please tell me how I and iny little wife
are to he designated. Will it he “ Mr. and
Mrs. Ilubbs, M. D.?” or. as the ladies are
going ahead so fast in these days of woman’s
rights, will I sink into still lesser insignifi
cance. and shall we be “ Dr. Todd and Gen
tleman ?” or must I drop the name of Ilubbs
altogether and become a Todd, too ? Some
body please tell how to have those cards en
graved.

Peter’s Escape from Prison.
I told you. a little while ago, something
about Herod the Great, king of Judea, who,
when the Lord Jesus was a little baby, want
ed to put him to death.
I am now going to speak of another Herod,
his grandson ; he also, like his grandfather,
was very cruel. The former persecuted Je
sus Christ; the latter persecuted his follow
ers, the Christians. This Ilerod hated any
one who preached about Jesus, and tried all
in bis power to put a stop to them. James,
a disciple of our Lord, was sent to prison, and
afterwards put to death.
Do you remember the question the mother
of James and John asked our Lord (Matt,
xx. 21)? It seems as if these two. with Peter,
lad been singled out by Jesus to suffer the
most for Ilim.
Ilerod found that it greatly pleased the
Jews putting James to death. To please
them still further, he sent a party of soldiers
to take Peter, and put him in prison. The
prisons in those days were very much more
uncomfortable than they are now. Imagine
bold, brave Peter, shut up in a square stone
cell, dark and gloomy, with just a little light
from a narrow grating, high up in the wall.—
Ilis bed was a bard stone floor, and he was
bound by chains to two soldiers. Sixteen
soldiers were ordered to guard him safely;
some of them rested while others watched.
Ilerod thought it was impossible for him to
escape.
The little band of Christians were in dread
ful trouble and grief when their leader, the
one they could spare the least, was taken
from them. How would t.hc cause of Christ
increase if one after another of their teachers
were taken from their midst? This was a
great trial of their faith. What could they
do? Entreaties were inval'n. lint there was
One above mightier than Ilerod the king,
whom they could entreat.. This they decid
ed to do, and as many Christians as possible
met at Jeruselcin, at the house of Mary, to
make constant prayer for Peter’s deliverance.
They knew Herod would not put him to death
during the Passover, so day after day during
that time they met. Yes ! and in the night,
too, for it says, “Prayer was male for him
without, ceasing.” How their spirits must
have sunk as tiie Easter was drawing to a
close, for Peter was still fast bound.
How did Peter feel all this time? Could
he sleep this last night, with nothing but the
stone flooring for a bed ? Was lie sad, and
complaining at. what awaited him? No; be
thought, of the many comforting sayings of
his Master; his heart was not troubled in the
least; lie left everything to God, and quietly
went to sleep as a little child.
Suddenly he awoke. Why is the cell lit
up with such a brilliant light! Is it the
moon’s rays coming in at the little grating,
or is it the soldiers coining with a lantern to
fetch him to execution ? He wakes up a lit
tle more, and a bright face looks down upon
liim. at the same time raising him up a little.
“Arise up quickly.” he said ; and the chains
fell off his hands and feet. Again the angel
spoke, for it was a messenger from God :
“Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals.” The
angel would not do for him what he could do
for himself. So it is alwavs, God likes us to
help ourselves. He only will do what we can
not.
Then the angel told Peter to follow him ;
this Peter did. There were the soldiers to
whom Peler had been bound. Ho had not
been able to move without, their hearing the
noise of the chains ; but. now thev were in a
deep sleep. How can they pass that strong
iron gate, with its locks and bolts? But
Peter was in God’s hands. As they neared
the gate it began to open. No one was to
be seen : the gate opened without the touch
of human hand ! When they got safely into
the street, the angel left hm.
During this time, Peter felt like one in a
dream ;he thought lie saw a vision. Now he
was fully awake, and hastened to join him
self to his friends, who have been so earnest
ly praying for his release.
Here we have a proof of God’s care of His
own people. He had more work for Peter to
do. James had finished his, so Givi took
Him home to rest. When trouble comes,
never cease to pray to God. He hears every
prayer offered to Him in faith. Ifthe answer
seems a long time coming, do not got weary ;
remember Peter’s friends, and pray without
ceasing. —ChibTs Companion.
MrCheerybles asked his wife, the other
morning: “What is the difference between
bribing a man with a ten dollar bill to keep
his mouth shut, and a mixture of Indian meal
and water ?” He almost took her breath away
when he answered; “Why, you see, one is
hu' h money, and the other is much, honey.”
