Inherited Diseases. t jo t h. realm at dlMue tha fact, at In¬ heritance arc most numerous and are dally aicumiil atlas- , Here, alas, they become ter¬ rible, fateful and OYcrwhelmlng. Ko fact of nature U jnore pregnant with awful mean¬ ing than the fact of the inheritance of disease. It meets the physician on hit daily rounda, paralysing his art and filling him with dismay- The legend of tho ancient Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing families from generation to generation, rendering them desolate. Tho Furies still ply their work of terror and death, but they are not now clothed, la tho gerb of supersti¬ tion. but appear lu the more Intelligible but uo less awful form of hereditary disease. Modern science, which has llfnmlnated so many dark corners of nature, has abed a BCW light on the ominous Words of the Scriptures, “ Tho slug of the fathers shall bo slatted upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." Instances of hereditary ; disease abound. Fifty por cent, of cases of consumption, that fearful destroyer of fami¬ lies, of cancer and scrofula, run in families r through Inheritance. Insanity Is hereditary in a marked degree, but, fortunately, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear Itself out, the stock becoming extinct. A distinguished scientist truly says: "No organ or texture of t)io body Is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease.” Probably more chronic diseases, which permcusutly modify tho structure and functions of the body, are more or less liable to be inherited. The Important and far-reaching practical deductions from such facts—affecting so powerfully tho happiness of Individuals anil families and the collect Ira welfare of the nation-are obvious to reflec¬ ting minds. and the best means for prevent¬ ing or curing these diseases Is a subject of Intense Interest to all. Fortunately nature has provided si remedy, which experience has attested aa infallible, and the remedy Is the world famous Swift’s Specific, a pure vcgotablo compound—nature's antidote for all blood poisons.

The installation of the adopted stable boy was thus happily effected,- and the wheel* of life continued to run smoothly in the doc¬ tor's house. Jean-Marie did his horse and carriage duty in the morning; sometime* helped in the housework; sometimes walked abroad with tho .doctor, to drink wisdom from the fountain head; and was introduced at night to the sciences and the dead tongues. He retained his singular placidity of mind and manner; he was rarely in fault; hut ha made only a very partial progress in hi* studies, and remained much of a stranger in the family. The doctor was a pattern of regularity. All forenoon ho worked on his great book, the “Comparative Pharmacopoeia, or His¬ torical Dictionary of all Medicines,” w hich as yet consisted principally of slips of paper and pins. When finished, it was to fill many personable volumes and to combine anti¬ quarian interest with professional utility. But the doctor was studious of literary graces and the picturesque; an anecdote, a touch of manners, a moral qualification, or a sound¬ ing epithet was sure to be preferred before a piece of science; a little more, and he would have written the “Comparative Pharma¬ copoeia'’in verse! The article “Mummia,” for instance, was already complete, though the remainder of the work had not progressed beyond the letter A. It was exceedingly copious and entertaining, written with quaintness and color, exact, erudite, a lit¬ erary article; but it would hardly have af¬ forded guidance to a practicing physician of today. The feminine good sense of his wife had led her to point this out with uncom¬ promising sincerity; for the dictionary was duly read aloud to her, betwixt sleep and waking, as it proceeded toward an infinitely distant completion; and the doctor was a lit¬ tle sore on the subject of mummies, and some¬ times resented an allusion with asperity. After the midday mqal and a proper pe¬ riod of digestion he walked, sometimes alone, sometimes accompanied by Jean-Marie; for madame would have preferred any hardship rather than walk. She was, as I have said, a very busy per¬ son, continually occupied about material comforts and ready to drop asleep over a novel the instant she was disengaged. ThI* was the less objectionable, as she never snored or grew distempered in complexion when she slept. On the contrary, she looked tho very picture of luxurious and appetizing ease, and woke without a start to the perfect possession of her faculties. I am afraid she was greatly an animal, but she was a very nice animal to have about. In this way sh* had nttie to do with Jean-Marie; nut the sympathy which had been established between them on the first night remained unbroken. They held occasional conversations, mostly on household matters. To tho extreme disap¬ pointment of tho doctor, they occasionally sallied off together to that temple of debas¬ ing superstition, the village church. Madame and he, both in their Sunday’s best, drove twice a month to Fontainebleau and re¬ turned laden with purchases, and, in short, although the doctor still continued to regard them as irreconcilably antipathetic, their re¬ lation was as intimate, friendly and confi¬ dential as their natures suffered. I fear, however, that in her heart of hearts, madame kindly despised and pitied the boy. She had no admiration for his class of vir¬ tues; she liked a smart, polite, forward, roguish sort of boy, cap in hand, light Af foot, meeting the eye; she liked volubility, charm, a little vice—the promise of a second Dr. Desprez. And it was her indefeasible belief that Jean-Marie was dull. “Poor dear boy,” she had said once, “how sad it is that he should be so stupid!” She had never re¬ peated that remark, for the doctor had raged like a wild bull, denouncing the brutal blunt¬ ness of her mind, bemoaning his own fate to be so unequally mated with an ass, and, what touched Anastasio more nearly, menacing the table china by the fury of his gesticula¬ tions. But she adhered silently to her opin¬ ion; and when Jean-Marie was sitting, stolid, blank, but not unhappy, over his unfinished tasks, she would snatch her opportunity in the doctor’s absence, go over to him, put her arms about his neck, lay her cheek to his, and communicate her sympathy with his distress. “Do not mind,” she would say; “I, too, am not at all clever, and I can assure you that it makes no difference in life.” The doctor’s view was naturally different. That gentleman never wearied of the sound of his own voice, which was, to say the truth, agreeable enough to hear. He now had a listener, who was not so cynically indifferent as Anastasle, and who sometimes put him on his mettle by the most relevant objections. Besides, was he not educating the boy? And education, philosophers are agreed, is the most philosophical of duties. What can be more heavenly to poor mankind than to have one’s hobby grow into a duty to the state? Then, indeed, do the ways of life become ways of pleasantness. Never had the doctor seen reason to be more content with his en¬ dowments. Philosophy flowed smoothly from his lips. He was so agile a dialectician that he could trace his nonsense, when challenged, back to some root in sense, and prove it to be a sort of flower upon his system. He slipped out of antinomies like a fish, and left his dis¬ ciple marveling at tho rabbi’s depth. Moreover, deep down in his heart the doc¬ tor was disappointed with the ill success of his more formal education. A boy, chosen by so acute an observer for his aptitude, and guided along the path of learning by so phil¬ osophic an instructor, was bound, by the nature of the universe, to make a more obvi¬ ous and lasting advance. Now Jean-Marie was slow in all thing*, impenetrable in others; and his power of forgetting was fully on a level with his power to learn. Therefore, the doctor cherished his peripatetic lectures, to which the boy attended, which he gener¬ ally appeared to enjoy, and by which lie often profited. Many and many were the talks they had together; and health and moderation proved the subject of the doctor's divagations. To these he lovingly returned. "I lead you,” he would say, “by the green pastures. My system, my beliefs, my medi¬ cines, are resumed in one phrase—to avoid excess. Blessed nature, healthy, temperate nature, abhors and exterminates excess. Hu¬ man law, in this matter, imitates at a great distance her provisions; and we must strive to supplement the efforts of the law. Yes, boy, we must be a law to ourselves and for our neighbors—lex armata armed, em¬ phatic, tyrannous law. If you see a crapu¬ lous human ruin snuffing, dash him from hi* box! The judge, though in a wav an admis¬ sion of disease, is less offensive to me than either the doctor or the priest. Above all the doctor—the doctor and the purulent trash and garbage of his pharmacopoeia! Pure air—from the neighborhood of a pinctunt for the sake of the turpentihe-un adulterated wine, and the reflections of an un¬ sophisticated ipirit in tbe presence of the works of nature—these, my boy, are the best medical appliances and the best religious comforts Devote rouself to these Hark! there are the tells oi hour roti cuw man ist in the north, It will be fair!. How clear and airy i* the sound! It* nerve* are harmon¬ ised and quieted; the mind attuned to silence; and obeerve bow easily and regularly heats the heart! Your unenlightened doctor would see nothing in these sensations; and yet you yourself perceive they are a part of health. Did you remember yoar cinchona this morn¬ ing? Good. Cinchona also is a work of na¬ ture; it is, after all, only the bark of a tree which we might gather for ourselves if we lived In the locality. What a world is this! Though n professed atheist, I delight to bear my testimony to the world. Look at the gratuitous remedies and pleasures that sur¬ round our path! The river runs by the gar¬ den end, our bath, our fish pond, our natnr&l system of drainage. There is a well in the court which sends up sparkling water from the earth's very heart, dean, cool and with a little wine most wholesome. The dis¬ trict is notorious for its salubrity; rheuma¬ tism is the only prevalent complaint, and I myself have never had a touch of it. 1 tell you—and my opinion is based upon the cold¬ est, clearest processes of reason—if I, if you, desired to leave this home of pleasures it would be the duty, it would lie the privilege, of our best friend to prevent us with a pistol bullet.” One beautiful June day they sat upon the hill outside tho village. The river, mi blue as heaven, shone here and there among the foli¬ age. The indefatigable birds turned and flickered about Gretz church tower. A healthy wind blew from over the forest, and the sound of innumerable thousands of tree tops and innumerable millions on millions of green leaves was abroad in the air, and filled the ear with something between whispered speech and singing. It seemed as if every blade of grass must hideacigale; anti the fields rang merrily with their music, jingling far and near, os with the sleigh bells of the fairy queen. From their station on the slope the eye embraced a large space of poplared plain upon the one hand, the waving hill tope of the forest on the other, and Gretz it¬ self in the middle, a handful of roofs. Under the bestriding arch of the blue heavens, the place seemed dwindled to a toy. It seemed incredible that people dwelled, and could find room to turn or air to breathe, in such a cor¬ ner of the w arid. The thought came home to the boy, perhaps for the first time, and he gave it words. “How small it looks!" he sighed. “Ay,” replied tho doctor, “small enough now. Yet it was once a walled city; thriv¬ ing, full of furred burgesses and men in ar¬ mor, humming with affairs — with tall spires, for aught I know, and portly towers along the battlements. A thousand chim¬ neys ceased smoking at the curfew bell. There were gibbets at the gate as thick as scarecrows. In time of war, the assault swarmed against it with ladders, the arrows fell like leaves, the defenders sallied hotly over the drawbridge, each side uttered its cry as they plied their weapons. Do you know that the walls extended as far as th* Commanderie? Tradition so reports. Alas, what a long way off is all this confusion- nothing left of it but my quiet words spoken in your ear—and tho town itself shrunk to the hamlet underneath us! By and by came the English wars—you shall hear more of the English, a stupid people, who sometimes blundered into good— and Gretz was taken, sacked and burned. It is the history of many towns; but Gretz never arose again; it was never rebuilt; its ruins were a quarry to serve the growth of rivals; and tho stones of Gretz aro now erect along the streets of Ne¬ mours. It gratifies me that our old house was the first to rise after the calamity; when the town had come to an end, it inaugurated the hamlet.” “I, too, am glad of that,” said Jean-Marie. “It should bo the temple of tho humbler virtues,” responded the doctor, with a savory gusto. “Perhaps one of tho reasons why I lovo my little hamlet as I do, is that we have a similar history, she and I. Have I told you that I was once rich?” “I do not thifik so,” answered Jean-Marie. “I do not think I should have forgotten. 1 am sorry you should have lost your fortune." “Sorry7’ cried the doctor. “Why, I find I have scarce begun your education after all. Listen to me! Would you rather live in the old Gretz or in the new, free from the alarms of war, with the green country at tho door, without noise, passports, the exactions of tha soldiery, or the jangle of the curfew boll to send us off to bed by sundown?” “I suppose I should prefer the new,” re¬ plied the boy. “Precisely,” returned the doctor. “So do I. And, in tho same way, I prefer my present moderate fortu*e to my former wealth. Golden mediocrity! cried the adora¬ ble ancients; and I subscribe to their enthu¬ siasm, Have I not good wino, good food, good air, the fields and the forest for my walk, a house, an admirable wife, a boy whom I protest I Cherish like a son? Now, if 1 were still rich, I should indubitably make my residence in Paris—you know Paris— Pari* and paradise are not convertible terms. This pleasant noise of the wind streaming among leaves changed into the grinding babel of the street, the stupid glare of plaster substituted for this quiet pattern of greens and grays, the nerves shattered, tho diges¬ tion falsified—picture the fall! Already you perceive the consequences; the mind is stimu¬ lated, the heart steps to a different measure, and the man is himself no longer. I have passionately studied myself—tho true busi¬ ness of philosophy. I know my character as the musician knows the ventages of his flute. Should I return to Paris I should ruin my¬ self gambling; nay, I go further—I should break the heart of my Anastasie yith infi¬ delities.” This was too much for Jean-Marie. That a place should so transform the most excel¬ lent of men transcended his belief. Paris, he protested, was even an agreeable place of residence. “Nor when I livt-1 in that city did I feel much difference,” he pleaded. “What!” cried the doctor. “Did you not steal when you were there?’ But the boy could never be brought to see that he had done anything wrong when ho stole. Nor, indeed, did the doctor think he had; bat that gentleman was never very scrupulous when in want of a retort. “And now,” he concluded, “do you begin to understand? My only friends were those who ruined me. Gretz has been my acad¬ emy, my sanatorium, my heaven of innocent pleasures. If millions are offered me I ware them back; Retro, Sathanas! Evil one be¬ gone! Fix your mind on my example; de¬ spise riches, avoid the debasing influence of cities. Hygiene—hygiene and mediocrity of fortune—these be your watchwords during life!” The doctor's system of hygiene .strikingly coincided with his tastes; and his picture of a perfect life was a faithful description of the one he was leading at the time. But it is easy to convince a boy, whom you supply with ail the facts for the di*cussion. And besides there was one thing admirable in the philosophy, and that was the enthusiasm of the philosopher. Thera was never any one more vigorously determined to be pleased; and if he was not a great logician, and so had no right to convince the intellect, he was certainly something of a poet, and had a fascination to seduce the heart. What he could not achieve in hi* customary humor of a radiant admiration of himself and his cir¬ cumstances, he some times effected in his fits of gloom. If “Bov.” be would say, *yvoid me todav. I were mi iik-, \uuuur * wonm eten neg tor an interest in your prayers. I aiu la the Ma& fit; tlw evil spirit of King Haul, the hag of the merchant Abudab, tin* personal devil of the raaltirval monk, is with me— -is in me," tapping o;i Lin breast. "The vice* of my na¬ ture .ini bow uppermost; innocent pleasure* woo me in vatu; I long for Paris, for my wallowing .n the mire. Nee." he continued, producing a handful of -iDor, “f denude myself,-i am not to lx- trusted with the o of a fare.

If you see me Unitor,'do not hesi¬ tate; if necessary, wreck the train! I . |««k, of course, by a parable. Any extremity were better than for me to roach Paris • , o.” Doubtless the doctor enjoyed ; ,. j little scenes, as a variation in his part; . :ey repre¬ sented tlw Byronic element in the somewhat artificial poetry of his existence; but to tho boy, though he was dimly aware of their theatricality, they represented more. Tha doctor made perhaps too little, the boy pos¬ sibly too much, of the reality and gravity of these temptations. One day a greatlight shone for Jean Marie. “Could not riches lie used well?” be asked. “In theory, yes,” replied thedoctor. “But it is found in experience that no one does so. All the world imagine they will be excep¬ tional when they - grow wealthy; but posses¬ sion is debasing, new desires spring up , and the silly taste for ostentation eats out tho heart of pleasure.” “Then you might be better if you had less,” said the boy. “Certainly not,” replied the doctor; but his voice quavered as he spoke. “Why?” Remanded pitiless innocence. Dr. Desprez saw all the colors of the rain¬ bow in a moment; the stable universe ap¬ peared to bo about capsizing with him. “Be¬ cause,” said he—affecting deliberation after an obvious paused-"because I have formed my life for my present income. It is not good for men of my years to be violently dissevered from their habits.” That was a sharp brush. The doctor breathed hard, and fell into taciturnity for the afternoon. As for the boy, ho was de¬ lighted with the resolution of his doubts; even wondered that he had not foreseen tho obvious and conclusive answer. * His faith in the doctor was a stout piece of goods. Desprez was inclined to lie a sheet in tha wind’s eye after dinner, (especially after Rhine wine, his favorite weakness. Ho would then remark on the warmth of his feeling for Anastasie, and w ith inflamed cheeks and u loose, flustered smile, debate upon all sorts of topics, and bo feebly and indiscreetly witty. But the adopted stable boy would not permit himself to entertain a doubt that savored of ingratitude. It is quite true that a man may lie a second father to you, and yet take too much to drink; but the best natures ars evtr slew te accept ncta truths. The doctor thoroughly possessed his heart, but perhaps he exaggerated his over his mind. Certainly Jean-Maris adopted some of his master’s opinions, put have yet to learn that he ever one of his own. Convictions existed in by divine right; they were virgin, un¬ wrought, tho brute metal of decision. could add othens indeed, but he could not away; neither did he care if they were fectly agreed among themselves; and spiritual pleasures had nothing to do turning them over or justifying them words. IVords were with him a mere jflishment, like dancing. When he was himself, his pleasures were almost vegetable. He would slip into the vnods toward and sit in the mouth of a cave among birches. His soul stared straight out of eyes; he did not move or think, thin shadows moving in the wind, the of firs against tho sky, occupied and his faculties. Ho was pure unity, a wholly abstracted. A single mood filled to which all the objects of sense os tbe colors of the spectrum merge and appear in white light. 8d while the doctor made himself with words, the adopted stable boy himself with silence.
