A LIVE “SUBJECT.” A THRILLINC SCENE IN A DISSECTING BOOM. [The value of the following brief, but thril ling narrative, consists in its being vouched for as a fact! The fearful event luw caused, we are informed, the most intense excitement among the very few who have an intimate knowledge of it. and strong efforts have been made to suppress the affair from pu'u.i -notice. We present the intelbg’tice in the exact shape in which we received it, exclusive oi names.— We might have given it a better literary dress, but fact requires no extraneous decoration.) There a.e sjiJeds in every medical man's history, cacn oi which comprises a lifetime of horror. Only three -hurt weeks ago X was one of the gayest students ot medicine and surge ry in the United States. To-day—well, let mo not anticipate. Two years have elapsed since I was sent from Mobile, by my fatner. to study medieine, at the North. I listened to my first course of lectures, in Philadelphia, and there made the acquaintance of Professor , who is, prob- ably, the beit demonstrator, in physiology, that ever taught the young idea how to shout, aho pathicully, on this side of the Atlantic. 1 was fortunateenough to become upartienlar favorite ite enough to become a particular favorite ot of his. and was introduced by him. with an es pecial flourish, to one of the clevmest surgeons in—l think, the world. His name is . 1 will call him the Professor, however. He is one of those individuals for whom you atonce conceive a great dislike, or a worlds, fil par • ty, and it was the latter I, at the first time wo met. felt for him. He was a strange being; it least he appeared so to me, upon our first meeting, and forever afterwards. Oftentimes he drank deeply , and while nndor the influence of drink, he would let fall curious hints concerning "blighted hopes,” “the rascality of kindred,” and“tho fol ly -of supposing any affection sprang from the ties of consanguinity.” On one of those com municative occasions, he told me a heart rend ing history of family experiences. I gathered, by piece-meal, from his conversation, the fact that one of his own blood had fronted him heartlessly, and driven him, by fraud of the grossest character, from bis native place to this country, penniless and friendless. I ought to say, m pauant, that his drinking bouts were conducted strictly upon the geutle manly plan, and were seldom or never made known to the public or even to the majority of those who itmlced among bis immediate friends; .and furthermore, I should remark that he is well advanced iu years, although no doubt you know that already. "My evil spirit is npon me.” he would some times say to me, and thou ho would illustrate, in his conduct and manner, the most singular phases of hypochondria I ever witnessed. Jt appears that he was born in the town of •C , (I must be guarded, for 1 am now vi- olating confidence.) and was unfortunate e nough, considering the laws, which give the elder brother ectrytiuii'j, to be ushered into the world, after his brother John. For this/><.»•< he felt the intensest affection. To him he con fided a history of his hojies; to him he looked more than tu his infirm father for advice; to him he communicated a narrative of his love, and of his successful wooing. Thu maiden of his choice was beneath him in wealth and sta tion; but his brother approved of that choice, and be was content. It is necessary to my ob ject, in penning this narrative, only to state that the elder brother seduced the girl; rob bed, by a traud of the basest character, het honorable lover of all his means, (also reducing the old father to penury, by forgeries.) and then decamped, taking tlie girl along, to Italy. “Did you never tako vengeance upon the s> duccr!” 1 inquired when he related these fact tO Hie. “1 did not regard either of them ns being worthy of my anger.” he replied, and I uevet followed them an inch." “Did you ever hear from tliem J” I queried. ■“• Yes—several times. The last news 1 got was to the effect that she had become sham less and besotted, and was living in a condition of public infamy in Paris. Ci course he had kit her.” “Ami he ?” “Had become a gambler; some wrote to me. a thief [Here he shuddered.] Cwxtein it w«s that he had squandered all his ill-gotten means.” This was all I could gather of his early and domestic history. But to the point of my com nitttiication. Three weeks ago. the Professor was to ex plain to ns all (a class of students) a certain i condition of the human stomach, and he was to do this practically in the dissecting room. There w as a di pnte as to the propriety of some of the late Dr. Marshall Holl s teachings, with reference to the division of the nervous sys tem. aud the Professor was to settle the dis ! pnte, scalpel in hand. The division of Dr. Hall, permit me to say, arranges the nervous \ system into three sectionsa-die cerebral, or sentient voluntary; the true spinal, or excito motor, aud the ganglionic, or nutrient, or sec retory. The Professor is one of the most skillful of i lecturers, and a precise and handsome demon strator. Bis devotion to the anatomical branch es of medical science amounts almost to a mo nomania. The patience with which he will work around and elal orate the smallest prepa ration for his cabinet is spider-like. Connected with the mooted questions con cerning the stomach, were others u Inch it is unnecessary for me to describe; but they made ' it imperative that the body, to be dissected, -shuulil be that of a male adult somewhat aged. The night arrived. We were all in our dis secting-room apparel. Ibe body entirely nude, aud completely covered with a cloth, as is the custom, lay npon the table, an J we impatient ly awaited the Professors arrival. Thi conduct of students in the dissecting room is not, as I presume the most of your readers know from the many able medical sketches yon have published, particularly dig nified. In fact, it is (in view of the sad proofs of our wretched helplessness and mortality, spread around.) frivolous, disgusting, and ut terly at variance with the scene, and the legiti mate purposes of the assemblage. Hude jests, profanity, the intemperate use of ardent spirits, pipe-smoking, etc., are practiced and indulged iu by all, or nearly all. On this night we were iu the wildest spirits, and when, soon after the hour appointed, the Professor entered, he found us engaged in a most animated series of laughs ut the spectacle of a lighted cigar stuck be tween the lips of a half dissected negro. The X’rofessor appeared to be as joyful as the students. He regaled us with several anec dotes more pointed than polite, but calculated to inspire the heartiest mirth. I perceived that he was in his best mood. There be was, a perfect picture of the man of science, unbend ing, for the moment, from the dignities of his station, so as to insure a feeling of ease to those who had congregated to receive his instructions. And ease in the presence of the preceptor, kt uie tell you, is very serviceable to a pupil. “ It is astonishing.” lie said, as he prepared himself for the business of the night, “ how soon we get to be familiar w ith tlie relics of mortality. Habit is everything. The first time 1 was introduced to the dissecting room. 1 was compelled to bite a piece of human flesh, that being considered, among my companions, a rite of initiation that could not be dispensed witii. The sensation ot horror 1 experienced cannot bo described. I vowed mentally that 1 would never enter such a revolting place again, but in three months 1 was the must reckless of the members of all the classes. A'oic 1 handle the dead as if they were mere bales of cotton. Disease in every shape 1 tiice without fear. Spectacles of the most appalling character pass by me, leaving no impression worth mention ing. And this, gentlemen," said he, raising his voice slid approaching the table whereon lay the subject, “this faculty of conquering our weaknesses is what makes us valuable as physi cians. Nerve! that, young gentlemen, is our greatest aid in difficult practice. Learn to sup press every approach to nervousness—school yourselves to view the severest sufferings with adamantine firmness—never betray the slight est fear, aud, with hard study to buck you, there can bo nothing to retard your progress iu the noblest of all tlie learned professions. ’ Here he made the usual sign to the janitor, and that official partially removed the cloth from the siilyect—the Professor standing, then, with bis l ack towards the table. “Our first business,” ho resumed, “is with the stomach.” We gather, d around him full of anxious ex peetat.on. " You will pay particular attention to me,” he Continued, baring t.hu scalpel, and half turn ing towards the table—“tire first incisions are very important,” V « cuiicenuatod our vision upon the corpse —he looked steadily at ut. “1 will now,” he resumed, seeing our atten tion directed upon his words, and movements, •’lay open the body directly beneath the re gion ol the diaphragm.” He now faced about full at the table, and li.ted th# scalpel, lie paused an instant. We gazed, all earnestness, upon the body. The scalpel descended. Scarcely had it touched the lean, lank, scraggy and miserable relic of mortality , ere there was a fearful change. The most perfect silence reigned in the room. The scalpel a second time touched the body, and then, as if the instrument had been a galvanic battery, the supposed corpse, w ith a counten ance must horribly contorted, sprang up and seized tire Professor by the gow n. aud then foil back quiescent. A glance of horror and recog nition .seemed to pass between the " subject” and the Professor. He, as if str. ck by light ening, staggered back, with a loud cry, or rath er shriek, and stood, in an attitude of despair and wild terror, gazing vacantly into the air. Before we could recover from onr terror and despair, he had fainted. We looked at the body : the muscles of the face were working—those of the limbs were twitching convulsively, and y et. as after-inves tigation proved, it um» dead. Why it should have miulv this .strange manifestation is not to be resolved into a matter of certainty. Due of the physicians connected with the institution say s that he has witnessed the same phenom ena among the bodies of those who died sud denly in tits, as well as ofthose who were slain by cholera. Heaven only knows the reason of the terrific and curious demonstration! But th • strangest part of my story remains to ba told. Wo naturally supposed that the Professor swooned from iright. We applied restoratives, audtiually he exhibited in Heat ions of conscious ness. Wa explained to him that the show of life given by the poor, faded form ujron the ta ble waspuicly spasmodic, and fallacious; but he incredulously shook his head, muttered - It w as the hand of God," and relapsed into insen sibility. A second time we restored him to his senses, aud his first words were: " Remove the subject! Hide it from my sight!” and then, as if again horror stricken, ho fell into violent convulsions. We remained near him until he seemed to have recovered from the effects of the scene enough to be left iu charge of one watcher. Before we retinal, however, the explanation of the Professor's extreme affright at the scene of horror was made. Ihe revelation (for such it was) was given under a pledge ofseeresy—a pledge extorted from me by the surrounding circumstances. The corpse into which the Professor was about to plunge the scalpel was that of kit brother ! How or when he had reached this country is not known. Bui it is know u. that after earn ing an unenviable notoriety among horse jock eys. gamblers, and the victims of profligacy generally , he gradually sank into the min- of degradation until he became a dweller in a den •>f thieves well known to the police. Hen- he was seized with disease, and deprived of hi* accustomed strong potations, delirium tremens was the consequence. He was kicked into the street—attempted to Commit a highway rob bery—was arrested, tried and condemned to the State’s prison. Before reaching there, however, he was to all appearance dead, aud w as in that condition conveyed to the purveyor of "subjects," and so brought to our dissecting room. The College (in which we do not reside) is for the present elosed. The remains u hicli greeted tlie horrified vision of the Professor which sprang from the same loins as his own body—which he had often enfolded in Lis arms —and in the integrity of the heart that anima ted which he had oiice placed the firmest reli ance—were silently placed in a neat coffin, and deposited, not to be disturbed again, I hope, until the day of resurrection, in a secluded spot In cemetery. I send you my name, as a pledge of the truth of what 1 have written ; but you must not dis close it. I have no excuse to offer for making this awfol affair public, other than that the terrible impression 1 received haunts me con tinually. and this seems to be a good way of partially relieving my mind of it. I intend to quit the “profession.” orratherto abandon my studies. The shock I have experienced would forever disqualify me for successful practice. The cause of the Professor's present danger ous illntss, which has been guardedly alluded to by the press is hereby explained.—A”. K Diipatch. GOING HOME WITH A GIRL THE FIRST TIME We were between sixteen nnd seventeen ! years of age. when the event about to be rela ted transpired, and as v description of our per- ' sonal appearance at that time is absolutely es ' seutial to the point of our story, we will give it us concisely as the subject will allow. In reference then to that period, to say that we were green in the usual acceptance of that term, would give the reader but a poor idea of the figure we displayed. Bather imagine a i tall, lean, cadaverous, swarthy looking chap, with legs like a pair of tongs, a countenance I about as expressive as a plate of Dutch cheese, j a month that came very near making an island of all the head above it. a face, covered w ith turze that looked very much like the down on a newly hatched gosling, with a gait that w ould ; lead a beholder to suppose that w e designed to travel down bothsides of the street at the same time, and yon have a correct daguerreotype of Jeemsin tlie seventeenth year of his age. One dark gloomy night in the mouth of De cember, we chanced to be at a “spelling ■ school” not a thousand miles from Baldswin- • ville, while our eyes fell on a "fairy form' ' that immediately set our susceptible heart in a i blaze. She was sixteen, or thereabouts, with bright eyes, red cheeks, and cherry lips, while , the auburn ringlets clustered in a wealth of profusion around her beautiful head, anil her person, to our ravished imagination, wa- more perfect in form and outline than the most fault- i less statue ever chis.’ed by the sculptor's art. As we gazed, our feelings which had never aspired gillward before, were fully aroused. : and we determined to go home w ith her that I night, or perish in the attempt. 1 As soon as school was diinissed, and our I “ lady love” suitably bonneted and cloaked, ■ we approached to offer our services as contem plated, and we then learned an important les- I son, viz: the difference between resolving and doing. As we neared her, we were seized with a partial blindness —red. green, blue and y el- i low lights Hashed vpon our vision, and appear ed and disappeared like w itches in a phantas magoria—our knees smote together like Bels : hazzur s when he discovered the handwriting upon the wall, while our heart thumped w ith I apparently as much force as if it were driving teupenny nails into our ribs. We, iu the meantime, managed to mumble over something, which is perhaps known to the Recording An- ■ gel, but certainly is not to us, at the same time poking out our elbow as nearly at right angles w ith our body, as our physical conformation w ould admit. The night air blew keenly, which served in some sort to revive us, and as our senses re turned. what were our emotions on finding the cherished object of our first love, clinging to our arm with all the tenacity a drowning man is said to clutch a straw. Talk of ely Slum, or sliding down greased rainbows, or feeding on German flutes, what are sieh “phelinks” in comparison w ith those that swelled our bosom nigh unto the bursting of our waistcoat but tons! Our happiness was sublime sublimity, sublimely sublimated, and every person who lias felt the divine throbbing of a fledged love principle, fully understands the world of bliss Couched m the fourth, tilth, sixth and seventh words at the commencement of this sentence. Well, we passed on pleasantly towards our ! Sally's home, talking of love and dove, and dart and heart, until so eouragous hud we become, that we actually proposed to go in and sit awhile, to which our Dulcinea very graciously assented. Alas for us! how soon we were to be reminded that " the course of true love nev er did run smooth.” bally bad a brother of some ten summers, who accompanied us all along the way. and who was in wonderful high spirits at the idea 1 of his sister’s bating a beau, ami would walk , around us frequently, giggling in the height of liis glee, ami eyeing us as closely as if ourself and bally were the world renowned Siamese I tw ins, and he was taking his first look. Bill, by the way, was a chubbed, stubble ' beaded boy, whose habiliments would have ; made the fortune of any two dealer# in mop i rags. At length we reached the bars, and while we I were letting them down, Bill shot past us. aud tore for the house as if pursued by a thousand bulls of Basban. He flung open the door with a bang, and exclaimed at the top of his voice: 'Mother! mother! Jim Clark is coinin' . hum with bail!” “ Is he.'” screamed the old woman in reply ; “ wal, I declare! 1 didn't think the sap-head knew enough!” A TRUE LOVE STORY. We propose to tell a little love story, which is so pretty and romantic in its details that we would suppose it a fiction, but for the good authority upon which we have obtained it. borne fifteen or sixteen years ago, in the I'udeilaud. a young man named Hing and a young girl named Weenu loved each other very hard and wanted to marry. A tightnc'- in the money market, however, forbade the bans; so. after considering the matter, the lover kissed his sweetheart, swore a true-lut - era oath to come back and marry her in good time, aud came to the I uited btates to Seek his fortune. lie worked like a good fellow, and prospered; ami after saving up a good sum he tlew back on the wings of love to Germany. But a terrible disappointment awaited him. His intended bride was gone ! bhe had not taken “cold pisen," nor eloped with a tinker; but weary of her lover's long absence, and despairing of liis return, she had. . like the brave little sweetheart that she was. set out for the United btates. determined to find him. and enter into that united state w hicli is the El Dorado of all true lovers. bo the young man came back to this coun try, on the paddle wheels of love, ami with the additional celerity whi< h the screw propeller ,ot anxious suspense always imparts, lie sought his fair one everywhere; many journeys be took, aud much money and much sleep lie lust; but all to no purpose. And he ga'e up his Christine as forever lost to him. He came to New Orleans; aud Time, after cooling aud petrifying the lava-current of his first love, iiitrmlueed him to a fraulein. as fair aud sweet, perhaps, os the lost Christine, lie married her. and they went to Texas, where they settled and were happy. Old Time con tinued to trundle the years around. Two tine children blessed the union, but a sad event fol- - lowed in the death of the wife aud mother. Even since then, or until recently, tlie widower remained there, prosecuting his business and taking care of his children. Some week* ago he came to this city on bu siness, and whilst here, found it necessary to go to Cincinnati. He went there, to .-tup a few days. One night, whilst he was returning to his lodgings from some place of amusement, he was alarmed by female screams not far off'. He ran. w ith others, to discover the cause, and found that the screams proceeded from a girl about eight y ears old. lying helpless on the tianqiiette. She was badly but not dangerous ly hurt: and in reply to the questions of the crowd, stated that her uncle, with whom -he was living, bad come home drunk and violent, causing her. in her anxiety to avoid him. to fall out at a window. As -he was a German girl, the widower Ding natiually felt interested iu her. and plied her . with all sort# of questions, a# to her paretUag<. ■ circumstances, &c. She told him, among other things, that her mother's first name w as Chris tine. That aroused an old memory, aud stimu lated fresh inquiry. The girl gave such infor mation, finally, as to leave no doubt in Hing's . mind that her mother was his own long lost sweet heart—his first love. Shu had been for I some years a widow, and was living dependent 1 upon the charity of her deceased husband's brother, on a farm ten wiles out in the coun- I try. Next morning Bing took the little girl out there, and w as by her intioduced to her moth ' er. The recognition was mutual and instan taneous. Os course there was a scene—all I sorts of a scene. The old petriiiu ton of first ! love melted on both sides. The widow told her ; story. It was a good counterpart to that of i the widower, bhe had searched and despair | cd. and sought consolation in marriage w ith I another. Time had made her mother to one I child, and left her a widow. The levers seemed to have met by Providcn ! tial direction, and w ere young again, and in , effubly happy. Os course, the re-t may be an- I tieipated. The couple reached this city a few day sago, having married during the passage down the river—tlie little girl of course being along—and put off by the earl.ust conveyance to Texas. —A. D.

Esq., who visted New York lately to regulate i monetary affairs in that quarter : "A rich scene cameoti' the other day in th.- Marine Court. Your readers will remember the celebrated Beau Hickman. Beau has been j staying here for some weeks past, at the Flor ence Hotel, where his bills are paid by his I friends in the gambling and -porting lines. On ’ Thursday , Beau was siibpu-naed as a witness ■in the above Court. The attorney on tlie op i po-ite side was a regular Tartar, lie prides j himself upon his skill in examining witnesses, and claims that he can confuse a witness more I successfully than any other member of the bar. : One of hi- methods of doing this is, when the I witness hesitates, to snap at him like an angry ! terrier, worry and abuse Idin for his hesitation, ; and then seek to confound and embarrass him.

Beau took the stand, and. after giving his testimony in a very mild and timid manner, was handed over for cross-ques tioning to this keen set lawyer. He had. in his direct testimony, affirmed that the sharp ; lawyer’s client had “no money whatever.”— The counsellor, with a look at Beau such aS u hungry dog gives at a bone, said : “How do you know, Mr. Hickman, that my client had no money 1 Are you the keeper of his pocket-book <” “lie tul-1 mu so, sir.” “When did he tell you so ?” “This morning.” "Where, sir (’ "In this very room.” "Whut did he say, sir?

Bronchitis Laryngitis, and other Diseases of the Chest and Throat, successfully treated by the Inhalct’ tion of Medicated Vapors and P&wdere, by Abeorp- \ tion and Constitutional dreatment, as practiced at the Stuyresant Medical Institute, Aew lurk City. TdE unprecedented success which has attended this method of ti catnip diseases of the Lungs and 1 hroat, has induced us to depart from our usual course aud avail ourselves of the Columns of the Press, io order to bring it to the knowledge of such as may be i laboring under, or predisposed to such affections. The dawn of a brighter day has at length arrived for the consumptive; the doctrine of the incurability of Consumption having passed nehave indubi table proofs in our possession fAaf Consumption in all its stages can he cured : in the first, by tubercular absorption ; in the secund, bv the transformation of the tubercule into chalky and calcareous concretions; in the third, by cicatrices, or scars. Those wedded to the opinions of the past may assert that, even now, Consumption is incurable, such are behind the age. To all, this great truth must be apparent, viz: that the medicine inhaled in the form of Vapor or Powder directly into the Lungs must be much more effective than that taken into the stomach, where the diseases do not exist. The advantage of inhalation in Con sumption and Throat Diseases is, that medicines in haled in the form of Vapor are applied directly tu the Lungs, where the diseases exist; the stomach is thus left free tu aid in restoring health, by administering to it healthy, life-giving food. There is du case so hopeless that Inhalation will not reach ! The means, too, are brought within the t each of all; the manner of administering the Vapors being so simple that the invalid is nevei -required tu leave home, where the hand of friendship and affection adds so much to aid the physician’s efforts. The Inhaling method is soothing, safe and speedy, and consists in the administration of medicine in such a manner that they are conveyed into the Lungs in the turni of Vapor, and produce their action at the seat of the disease. Its practical success is destined to revolutionize the opinions of the medical vvurld, and establish the entiie curability us Consumption. I earnestly appeal to the common sense of all af flicted with Lung Diseases to embrace at once the ad vantages of inhalation, and no longer apply medi cines to the unoffending stomach. I claim lor inha lation a place ainooki the priceless gifts that Nature and Ait hath given us “that our days may be lung in the land." and us the only Ark of Refuge for th* Consumptive ; a method nut only rntkmul, bnt sim ple and efficacious.
