Dr. Pinnock’s Prescription.
“Upon my word, I do believe nobody in this
house cares whether I live or die.”
David Ward sank back among his pillows
with a weary, despairing groan, and closed ins
eyes.
••Don’t speak so dearest—is there anything
I can do for you now ?”
Jessie Ward was a blue-eyed, fairhaired wo
man, with an appearance not unlike that of a
white dove—innocent, pretty and altogether
loveable. She came to the bedside with light,
noiseless feet and an anxious face.
“Tell me, David—what shall I do?”
Mr. Ward gave a deep sepulchral groan.
“If you felt the least solicitude in the mat
ter, Mrs. Ward, you would have seen that there
is a sunbeam dancing about my pillow like a
red hot bar of iron and driving me distracted.
•Jessie drew the curtains closer together ex
cluding every breath of the sweet June air.
“There, now—the room is like an oven. A
salamander couldn’t breathe here.”
“But, my dear, the air cannot come in if the
curtains are to be closed.”
“Isn’t there a door to the room ?”
The obedient wife opened the door.
“Is that the clock striking ten? Mrs. Ward
that last powder should have been taken five
minutes ago !”
“1 will got it now, David —it isn’t too late
yet.”
“I hope not, Mrs. Ward, I hope not. Five
minutes make all the diffence in the world
with a complaint like mine.”
Mrs. Ward made no reponse save to offer
him the little powder and a glass of water.
“Phew!” ejaculated the aggrieved invalid,
“that water has stood in the room full five min
utes ! I cant drink such flat stuff.”
“I will ring for some more.”
“No, it’s too late now. It’s of no conse
quence ! none in the world ! I wonder why the
doctor does not come ! I should think he might
pay a iittle attention to punctuality, when he
knows how much I suffer. Here comes your
brother Paul, tramping like an elephant. Oh,
dear, dear! how inconsiderate these people in
perfect health do become ! ”
Mr. Ward convulsively clasped both hands
o;i ids temples, as Paul Dayton came into the
room with bright face and cherry voice.
“ Weil, David, how goes it? How are you
feeling? ”
“ Miserably—miserably. And, my dear
Paul, if you could speak as if you were not hail
ing a ship at sea !
“All right, old fellow—hut where is the
pain ? ’ !
“The pain? I can’t exactly tell where; it's
a general feeling of weakness—a universal giv
ing way of the whole system.”
“ Yes, but where are the symptoms ? ”
“ Symptons ? ” I wish you would not he
too presistent, Paul. Jessie, if the servants
don’t stop slamming doors below stairs, 1 shall
go crazy—and there’s an impertinent robin
that will sing close to my window. Will you
direct the gardiner to shoot that robin ? ”
“Oh, certainly,” said Paul. “ We’ll have all
the bird’s that have the audacity to sing on
the place shot. I’ll have the sun curtained
and an injunction put on the wind, and the
leaves warned to stop rustling.”
The indignant retort that rose to Mr. Ward’s
lips was checked by the entrance of the long
expected doctor—a wiery, energetic little man,
with keen gray eyes, and a shining baldhead,
head just fringed around the temples with
black hair. At a signal from her brother.—
Mrs. Ward accompanied him out of the room,
as Dr. Pinnock came in.
Suppose we leave David and the doctor to
groan it out together,” said Dayton merrily,
“while you steal a breath of fresh air, out on
the terrace. Why, Jessie, you lock as white
as marble—you are bleaching in that hot, un
wholesome room, just as a stick of celery
bleaches in a dark cellar.”
“But David needs me there.”
“Does he? I’m not altogether certain of
that.”
“Oh, Paul ! You should not speak so of sick
husband.”
“Jessie, what is the nature of his disease ?”
“The doctor does not exactly know, Paul.”
“No—nor you, nor I, nor himself cither, I
fancy! Jessie, he is no more sick t-lian I
am.”
“Paul.”
“Indeed, I do not think he is. He has just
worked himself into the idea that he is a mis
erable invalid—it’s a clear case of hypochon
dria ! And I think it is unreasonable and ab
surd for him to make himself and every one
around him slaves to a mistaken fancy.”
Jessie sighed involuntarily—could it be pos
sible her brother was right ?
“You are wearing yourself out in attendance
on his innumerable whims—you have neither
color nor vivacity left. My little sister, when
I look at you now, and remember what a joyous
red-cheeked, laughing fairy you were six
months ago, I am tempted to—”
“To do what?” asked Jessie smiling.
“To pull your precious husband out of his
bed, and shake the ailments out of him at once.
Now, don't look sober and try to pull down
the corners of your mouth, Jessie. Do laugh
just for once, or 1 shall fancy some evil-mind
ed brownie or elf has taken my sister away,
and left in her place a fitting mate for poor,
dear David.”
He drawled out the three last words in such
a serio-comic imitation of David Ward’s dole
ful accent, that Jessie laughed in spite of her
self.
“Well, Doctor.” said Paul Dayton, fifteen
minutes or so afterwards, as the disciple of Ga
len came briskly down stairs, inhaling a deep
breath of the fragrant summer atmosphere, as
if it were a relief from the confined air of the
sick room, “has my brotlier-in law found out
yet just where his ailment lies ?”
• No—and he never will—and what’s more,
no one else ever will,” said the little man,
shortly. “1 beg your pardon, Mrs Ward, for
speaking so very explicitly,' but I can't make
him believe he would be as well as any one, if
he would only dismiss the idea of his aches and
pains. 1 don't really know what to do with
him. I’m afraid its a confirmed case of hypo
chondria.”
“I think I could suggest a cure,” said Paul
Dayton, demurely, “if you would all promise
to act up to my directions.”
“Let’s have a statement of your plan of ac
tion. then,” said the doctor, stroking his chin;
and if I approve of it, why I’ll answer for Mrs.
Ward s obedience.”
“I shoidd treat him homeopathically,” said
Paul, with great gravity. “That is to say Dr.
I should overwhelm him with his own pains
and twinges—I should load him with sympa
thy and deluge him with compassion.”
••Proceed to state the particulars—the plan
seems feasible,” said the doctor, briefly.
And Paul proceeded to state the particulars.
As usual, Mr. Ward armed himself, mentally
the next morning, with weapons of resistance,
against the cheerful and encouraging words of
Iris medical attendant.
“That man never will realize how ill I am
until its too late,” groaned Mr. Ward dismally
as the doctor was shown in, and he began the
skirmish with a long account of his sufferings
during the last twenty-four hours. Dr. Pin
nock listening with great concern.
“My dear sir.'' he began, as David paused to
take breatli, “you’re a very sick man—there
i can lie no doubt of that. I consider your case
the most dangerous on my list.’
“Do you, really, Dr. ?” demanded David, his
eyes very wide open.
“Most undoubtedly. How can I have been
so misled, all along as to the nature of your
disease, I really cannot comprehend. Suffice
it to say, now that I am fully aware of your
danger, I shall proceed to administer most
prompt and powerful remedies.
“You don't say so Dr.”
“pojTyou see those white powders, sir? these
gray pills? I only gUv them in the most des
perate case.”- AJtcrflhtc them eve-y half hour.
Good morning, sir ; I must go home and study
out your case.”
David stared rather uneasily at the gray pills
and white powders that the doctor had left up
on his table.
“Jessie,” he said to his wife, “do—do you
think the doctor considers me dangerously
ill ?”
“I’m afraid so,” sighed Mrs. Ward. “Do
trv and l>e punctual about the medicines. David
and perhaps you may overcome the perils that
threaten you.”
David fell back among his pillows like a log,
and his lower jaw unconsciously dropped, and
his eyes assumed a fishy, uncomfortable glare.
As the hop vine feels when the sturdy pole on
which it has leaned is suddenly pulled from its
clinging tendrils, so felt David, with the brace
of his wife's resolute hopefulness withdrawn.
“Jessie !”
“What is it, my poor, dear husband ?”
“Do you really think I am looking very
badly ?”
“Very—you are so'deadly pale, and there is
such a shadow under your eyes, and—
“But 1 am not sure but what I am feeling a
good deal better this morning.”
“Oh, that is quite ‘‘impossible,” said Mrs.
Ward, solemnly. “You can’t be better—here
is a gray pill my love—remember your life de
pends on your medicines.”
“I thought I would like a fresh egg for break
fast. if ”
“Oh, n?y dear, how can you talk so unfeel
ingly of fresh eggs when your gray pill is not
taken.”
‘ Bother the gray pill!” said David, with a
great deal of energy for a sick man—
“Well, I may as well swallow it, I suppose ;
and now bring me up some breakfast.”
All the morning he lay cogitating on the al
tered manners and looks of his nurses and the
doctor.
“I don’t believe I can be so ill after all,” he
said suddenly.
“Take a white powder, dear,” said Jessie,
with sorrowful alacrity ; “it’s already three se
conds past the regular time.”
And David swallowed his powder and disgust
together.”
Raul Dayton arrived bright and early the
next morning. Somewhat to Jessie’s surprise,
he took off his boots in the hall, and crept up
stairs with ostentatious quietness.
“Whitare you creeping along likeabig pus
sy-cat for ?” demanded Mr. Ward with some
asperity.”
••Isn't it time tor another white powder ?”
whispered Paul, consulting his watch.
“Deuce take the white powders!’’ ejaculated
David, aggravated beyond all endurance.
“My dear David you dont consider the im
portance of punctuality in your present highly
perrilous condition. Dear me, dear me ! your
pulse is leaping like a steam engine.”
“My pulse is well enough !” ungraciously re
torted' David, jerking his wrist away from Paul’s
clasp.
“David,” said Paul, seating himself beside
the bed, “there is no use disguising the fact
that you are very ill—very ill indeed! For
the sake of your wife—for my sake—take the
white powder !”
Mr. Ward resolutely took the paper contain
ing the snowy grains and tossed them out at
the window.
Paul gave a deep groan.
“Inclined to be delirious and violent—symp
toms very indeed !”
“No more delirious than you are !” roared
David, quite forgetting the subdued accents of j
an invalid.
‘Tam delighted to hear it,” said Paul, “for
I want a little serious conversation with you on
a very great topic. In caai-cf the worst hap
pening—and we have cveiy reason, considering
your i#ng sickness and the delicacy of your
constitution, to apprehend the worst ”
David listened breathless.
“In case, I say tit a sudden relapse and mel
ancholy consequences, it would be a sad pleas
ure to us to have your last wishes. Where my
dear brother-in-law would you prefer to be bur
ied V ’
“Buried ! I’ve no idea of being buried any
where iust yet. Get my clothes quick, and
clear out of the room. I’m going to dress my
self and come down stairs !”
“But my dear David, just consider yonr
weakness.”
“Weakness be hanged! I tell you I wont lie
Lew and be imposed upon any longer. Buried
indeed ! I’m as well as you are, and I’m go
ing to prove it.”
“But Dr. Pinnock ”
“I’ll see Dr. Pinnock in Jericho before I
take any more of his white powder and gray
pills ! Get out of the room I tell you.”
When Dr. Pinnock arrived, with his face
properly elongated, the very first person he
met was his patient, smoking a cigar on the
piazza, with his feet on a garden chair, while
Jessie sat at his.side hemming ruffles with the
most contented little face in the world.
“Cured, eh ?” said the Doctor, laconically.
“Cured,” said David Ward with equal brevi
ty. And he added, “Doctor, I’m afraid you
will think I’ve been an unmitigated fool all
these weeks!”
“If you only won’t be align’, Doctor,” coax
ed Jessie; “David knows our plot—I told
him.”
“That’s the way women keep a secret,” said
the doctor, with a groan—and what do you
think of our treatment, Ward ?”
“Novel, but successful,” was the answer.
“There’s one thing Mrs. Ward couldn’t have
told you, because she didn't know it,’ said the
doctor with a sly twinkle of his gray eyes, “ihe
white powders were flour—the gray pills were
wholesome bran mixed up with water !
David laughed—he couldn't help it ; and a
cured invalid can afford to laugh.
And although Dr. Pinnock remained the
family physician for many years, those were
the last doses he ever found occasion to admin
ister to David Ward.

tion. There is not one of them who is not will
ing to have,as a ruler, an original Union man
of principle and integrity, such as Moore, of
North Carolina ; Perry, of South Carolina : Jen
kins, of Georgia ; ami Sharkey, of Mississippi.
But we fear that we may get an old fire-eater,
newly dressed up in the star spangled banner,
with an eagle feather in Iris hat, who says Van
kee Poodle as grace before his meat, and Hail
Columbia as a thanksgiving after it. Better
a military ruler for a century than a single
term of such a man! The military ruler has
no partizans to reward, and no enemies to grat
ify.
The fair presumption is, that be will be just
and impartial, having no controlling motive
but a sense of duty. There is not one of the
five districts in so unhappy a condition to-day
as is Tennessee in the Union.
It becomes then the imperative duty of vo
ters to choose true men, not turn-coats and
weather-cocks; men whose consistent Union
ism will oe satisfactory to the dominant party.
Such men as Governors, Representatives and
Legislators, who will not be intent upon per

but will strive earnestly to promote the happ-

perplexed and impoverished country.

The Methodist of New York says lie regrets
to perceive that the land loved by the editor ot
this magazine is not the whole United States
but only a ration troublesome section of it.—
Our contemporary wrote a kind letter, propos
ing an exchange ; we cordially accepted his of
fer. We candidly confess we have a great liking
for our Methodist brethren. They made sue a
splendid rebels! Why a Methodist had no
more fear in him than a wild Irishman from
Tipperary. From this attack upon us, we judge
that the Northern Methodists belong also to
the Church militant. However, as opening fire
under flag of truce was so universally reproba
ted by both sides, we rather incline to think
that our worthy brother belonged to the “Home
Guards,” and not to the army in the field.
A lady, who had written a really valuable
book, once told us that ini unfavorable criti
cism of her book would be more acceptable
than the usual stereotyped phrase of commen
dation, which proved that the critic had not
even cut tHe pages of the book he professed to
review.
it is plain to us that our excellent contempo
rary had not read our magazine. Fur although
v.e are exceedingly national, yet ive. are not
aware of manifesting any special partiality for
Massachusetts; so that we cannot be justly ac
cused of unduly loving “the troublesome sec-
tiou of the United States.”
o o o
Moreover we are getting old and we have
been afflicted with rheumatism a long time ;
which affliction rebel campaigning for four
years did not improve. We have not therefore
the astonishing activity ot some of our friends
jn Dixie, and cannot, then, make such neat
somersaults as they, nor can we play suple-
jacks so well. Our old leaders ip secession,
our tiie-eaters, our Yankee-hatcrs, have thro’n
a somersault, and are now “loyal leaguers”
lie veil from misery and dread scenes to
by death. His poor wife soon took his place in
the sick list, and her only children, the two
little girls, remained as guests of this place,
where infancy was so strangely associated with
disease, with all its horrors, and became famil
iar with death, who, attended by famine, main
tained his hideous vigils over the sjex, wound
ed and dying inmates.
Tpc thunders of the approaching army, the
roar of the flames, the ringing of bells, the
falling of houses, the bursting of shells, amt
tiie general clamor of panic, distress and grief
so shocked the feeble sick woman in the hos
pital, that she died from grief and fright, be
stowing a last glance, in utter despair, upon
her two children, whose fate it was to bo loft
at such a time among strangers, far from home
and perfectly helpless. Who can tell the an
guish of the poor mother, at passing away from
the world and leaving her tender offspring to
the mercies and chances of that perilous day!
It was indeed a mercy that the pang and the
agony were brief.
The mother died and was buried by order of
Gen. Sherman, who also ordered that the two
infants should be sent to the asylum. A gen
eral famine followed the march of that Gener
al officer, and there being nothing wherewith
to feed the inmates of the asylum there was
no recourse but to send them away. Here
was another phase of that extreme human mis
er}’ which chills the blood even to read of. The
feeble, the sick, the lame and the halt, and the
helpless, wiio found refuge in that asyjum,
were to go forth as there v.as nothing there
to feed tljerfp Where were they to go ? and
what to do ? What became otgheni all; none
can tell. Death glided the sorrows and cares
of many.
In the midst of this sad community were
the two motherless girls, mere jnfonts unton-
scious of their lot. People came ffoiq all quar
ters to see what could be done for the dispers
ing household. Among those who came on
this errand, was a lady of great worth and re

what may be called poverty in Columbia, she

to obtain, if possible, a servant girl. There her
eyes were attracted by the two little girls thin
ly clad, sitting in a corner on the sunny side
of the house, on a chilly April day, hugging
each other to keen warm. They were remark-

them ; but what could she do, in her poverty?
Contemplating them in their forlorn condition,
yet so bright and so uncunscious of their fate,
cheerfully endeavoring to borrow from the sun
that warmth which man’s inhumanity had de
prived them of, she was oppressed with the
force of the tender sympathy which Tie felt
she was too poor to gratify. She turned away

Mr. J. Vv. Forten, of Philadelphia, will also
canvass one or more States. It is expected
that ’ “Professor W. Howard Day, one of the

also engaged leading Southern colored men.—
Rev. Mr." Turner, lately chaplain of a colored
regiment, is in North Carolina, and Mr. Dick

of workers in Mississippi. The committee who
have this campaign in charge are preparing

too rheumatic to do, is to toss a somersault
and turn our backs on this dear old land which
gave us birth.
We will tell our esteemed contemporary what
the “loyal North” used to think of renegades,
aye, and what the really noble men and women
there think of them yet. When John Adams
went to England after our independence had
been gained, George III. jested with him one
day upon his being undei French influence.—
His noble reply was, “I must avow to your
Majesty that 1 have no attachment but my own
country.” The King answered quickly “an
honest man will never have any other.”
It is well known that the great painter, Ben
jamin West, of Penqsylvania, went to England
before the American rebellion The kind pat
ronage of the King and his business relations
induced him to remain in London after the war
broke out. One day some courtiers who were
jealous of West’s influence with the King, spoke
of a defeat of the Americans while West was
in the royal presence, hoping that his sorrow
thereat would offend the monarch. West per
ceiving tlieir object, said frankly to the King.
“I am a loyal and grateful subject to my King,
but I can never rejoice at any misfortune which
befalls my native land.” The King cordially
replied, "a noble answer, Mr. West, and I as
sure you that no man will ever fall in my es
timation who loves his native land.”
A kingiy speech, worthy of the monarch of a
great nation ! We are not so sectional as our
worthy cotemporary thinks, for we believe that
there are millions us men in the loyal North,
who respond to the grand sentiment of George
III, and who have as mticff respect for the
Southerner who stands in his lot prepared to
share the fate of his people, as they have con
tempt for these mountebanks, who, through
fear of confiscation or greed of office, are stulti
fying themselves by insincere declarations and
I dishonest professions.
Voters of New Orleans.—Through the cour
tesy of Gen. Sheri'lan, the New Orleans Pica
yune is enabled to make public the following
interesting information regarding the registra
tion, of voters in th it citv. It wiil be seen that
colored voters are, so far, in a majority of more
than four to one—a fact doubtless resulting,
says the Picayune, from the discouraging con
duct pursued by registers toward white persons:

Tabular Statement of the Number of Voters
Registered in the Parish of Orleans up to C
ten a letter saying that nothing could then he
done for them, when, as it were Providential,
design, a letter came from St. Louis, offering
places for twelve Southern children, the means
for the support and education of whom had
been provided by the liberal citizens of that
city. Miss Mason, with a >!elight which all
who know her can well imagine, re-opened the
letter to her Columbia friend, and wrote a
postscript, in which she was requested to send
on “Beulah” and “Lula”—for these were the
names of the motherless little fawns—at once
that they’ might go on to the homes just found
for them. Poor children ! who will not offer
up a prayer that they may now he happy for
life ?
This is, indeed a picture of a, thousand, and
no one can read the facts, we are sure, without
being impressed more forcibly with the solemn
duty at such a time as this ot contributing to
the aid and succor of those brought to depen
dence and destitution by the events of war.
The Coolv Trade to Cc?a„—A correspon
dent of the New York Times writes, from, Ha-
vannah as follows:
‘•The rumor about the landing of a cargo of
slaves near Kemedios, spread by nobody knows
whom, has proved to be false. The time for
landing cargoes of ebony lias happily gone by,
but the Chinese trade is in full blast, and ship
loads arriving every week. The coolie trade
is in the hands of a French company,, of which
J. N. Zangroniz is the agent, and some English
and Spanish houses. No. American house or
firm is engaged in this traffic, which is only
another kind of slavery under a sngar-coatc-d
exterior. The philanthropic English seem to
take a great interest in the business, and En
glish bottoms bring the great majority of Chi
nese to this island. The coolie emigrant is
better treated on any ship than on the English.
.Of course this will be denied by John Bui!,
who will forget to state that the ship has
been whitewashed in Hong Kong or Macao,
and is consequently no longer an English ship.
After arriving here the vessel loads for New
York or Falmouth, and is again as good an
English vessel as the coaster on the Clyde.
