A LIFE SKETCH. BY THE DOCTOR IOTO. PART ONE. IN our pilgt‘amage through life not a few of us men have with pain witnessed the dOan-all, through the ‘l'ove of the wine cup. of some one of our early and most dear associ- ates. , Reader, look bank and recall the noble contour of some one of your playmates, who, during juvenile days you have a thousand times wished yourself his equal. Ilis merry voice still rings tn your ear, and memory brings back distinctly his rosy cheek and curling brown locks to your vision. You cannot jei‘gct his generoth heart that stood ready to share every pleasure with you. and that strong arm which, to thetime of need he most wrllingly wielded In your defence. Surely you thought that life to him was full of promise, and indeed it was, had his manhood been matured under a -well-bal:inced nind, but alas! for- tone and fate had decreed it other- wise. Time comes when both of you must embark in the toil and vexations as you become worldly in your intercourse with each other, so also you gradually lose that deep interest which you once enjoyed. While cloaked by the air of respectability, your friends never lacked for conival companions, 'and being thrown off from your path by tltc siren songs of dissipation, you finally lose sight of him. Having refreshed your memory t "little in rclerence to perhaps a simi- lar episode in real life, we will com- mence our brief biography of an unfortunate schoolmate. " Charley Wheeler we first tnet at boarding school in the good old town . miles from this great emporium. Charley and I oncupied for two vcars the same bedroom, and in fact, ihe most of that time we shared the same bed though there were two of are put out. The stampede that followed this announcement of our enemy had the tendency to hurry the movementsof Buns, yet most of us succeeded in eluding his vigilence and were imita- ting the usual sign of sleep as be scrutinized us and passed on. Poor Charley Wheeler had been left in the lurch without an avenue open to him forescape. Not know- ing what else to do he attempted by bracing his hands and feet against the opposite Walls of the manor hall to ascend and by dint of great exer- tion, he managed to reach a heighth sufficient to allow the teacher to pass tinder him. Buns was eager on the trail of the fugitive, and so savage did he look, that one glimpse of him thoroughly frightened the boy who released his hold and came tumbling with his whole weight upon the tutor’s head. Buns thought that his victim was before him, and had not for a mo‘ ment supposed that he was perched on high, cot-sequently he was com- pletely non plused when the weight tame upon his head. He was knuck- ed down and the candle rolled from his g 'asp and became extinguished. The boy, being the ninihlcst'of the two, quickly“ gathered himself up, and taking advantage of his position he hastened to my bed. Charley had not been recognized by the tutor but as he was in my bed, it was infered that lie was the rogue, V I The next day an investigation of the affair was held, and as might be SUpposed, nothing was elicited which could fix the guilt on any one. The principal decided that it my between Wheelcrland myself, and as We both evaded answering questions, he di- rected Buns to soundly thrash each of us. My turn came first. and I can affirm to the best of my belief, carried out the sentence to the let- tor of the law, which had the effect of ever afterwards bracing my mind against meekly bearing punishment which rightly belonged to others. through our school days with as much pleasure as usually falls to the lot of most boys. We entered the same college. and for four years we almost lived in phic description of city life kept me from being in the least hypochon‘dri- ack, but, by-and-bye, his letters he- came brief, and finally of a sudden they ceased altogether. At first I couldn’t account for this coldness, and my mind was not relieved until I indirectly heard that Charley’s employers had sent him off on some off on some business of importance to a distant land. By degrees I be- came completely absorbed in my books, and found them the pleasant- est of companions. The winter months drew near when the medical lectures would commence. Another conference was held among my relations as to the best college for me to attend, and in the end, New York city was selected as ofl‘cring the most induce- ments to students. My venerable father gave me some healthy novice in. regard to the new temptations to ,which I would be exposed, and suc- ceeded in exacting from tne a pro- IIIISC against evil doing. The Wardrobe of homespun articles whichl was to carry with me, Was in due time made ready, and now all that remain- ed was for me to bid my friends titlit3ti. Although several years have pas- sed over my head since the date of the transpiring of these incidents, and though to this timel have expe- rienced the greatest trials the human heart is heir to, yet they are as fresh as ifnunibered among the events of yesterday. That grcyhnired moth- or, who affectionately placed her hands upon my head, and with up- turned eyes. uttered a prayer sup- plicating protection for her son, lies at, the present time beneath the green sod .ol' the old tillage churchyard, and by her side rests her husband and my respected fullICI'. Sisters and brothers have since been scatter- ed in various parts of” the world, while I now hold a responstblc posi~ tion of village doctor which descen- ded to me as if it Was an inl'icritance fondly turn to these reminiscences ,which I here feebly attempt to de- ‘scribe, and not one event among them is more indelibly fixed upon my memory than ts the hour of mingled that I would guard tnyself cities of studying man in his true lbearing, as does the wards of a cha- rity of this kind. The sight of suf- fering makes a person pensive, and though it blunts somewnat the sym- pathies,yet it aims higher by demand- ing that, those who administer relief confidence or the afflicted. By tne broad lightofday, as well as the stillness of night the man of setcnce listens to secrets which have long been pent up but now in truth. thc_' are breathed forth. The toil of such an existence is arduous, but yet it never fails to repay the loves- ttgator. ' The first operation I saw sickened me, but gradually I began to look ‘ii these things in anotherlight, through the dimness of which I saw health and happiness returning to the suf- ferer. Step by step I advanced, until at thc‘ commencement of my third year in the hospital, I was pla- ced at the head of all the young men who labored in the same cause with tne. The responsioihty of caring for hundreds of human beings dis- abled bv disease, is not easy to bear as it furnishes a stimulus to the mind which cannot for a moment be obli- tcrated. No, not own In the hours of sleep. The most troublcso no class of patients I had to encounter were liltlSC laboring under delerium tre- mens. The frenzy of the unfortu- lnate creatures was often horrible to witness. At other times their hallu- cinations were more moderate. and partook of the pleasures of. which they had recently :ndu'ged to excess. I remember having at one time cori- fincd to their beds by means of lstraight jackets, an actor, a clergy- man. a priest and [Wu or three liquor merchants, and such a medly of ideas a Work and study to gain the as was then and there simultaneously expressed, was never heard before or since. Each one performed his part without paying the least regard to the presence of the ozhers. The nurse who had charge of this Ward had to he an athletic man, and ments they were not to be trusted. The relating of one inci lent will prove this conclusively, even to the lmost skeptical of my readers. One day there was brought to the ‘holding a loaded reVolver of the largest Size with its muzzle pointed at him, and not over six feet froml his body. The eyes of the maniac glistened like him balls of fire thereby show- ing that he had been suddenly seized with an extra amount of frenzy. To have moved would have been certain death, therefore the nurse cooly straightened himself up and forced a smile on his face while he thus spoke : ‘ My friend that is a very fine weapon you possess, but do you know that I never liked revolvers because they are too heavy and clumsy to make a fine shot with.’ The kindness and boldness of this language had the effect for which it was intenled. The patient under its musing influence almost magically relapsed into a state of calm demead our and thus answered : ‘ You are mistaken, I have killed a wolf, sir, fOrtyyards with it. Just take it into your hands and see if it is very heavy, but oh, but oh, my brain is on fire.’ The nurse, as might be supposed, quietly received the pistol, and when he was sure of its safety, he changed ing the patient to go into the prison cell of the mad. It was well he did so, for in a fewnoinutes the delirium returned upon the patient with in- creased force, and this time his rao vings were continuous for several days. After everything h'ad thus passed over without harm having been done the nurse began to realize more fully the precariousness of his position. Having secured safely. the insane patient. the nurse sought me out and reported the affair to me in nearly the same words lhave here used. Together we returned to the ward, when I took upon myself the liberty of examining the trunk, that I might ascertain something of the previous history of the patient, and also to see whether or not there were other weapons concealed ill in superscriptton on which startled me. I was at. the first glance positive that the writing was my own, and on tearing a letter open, sure enough, l had not been mistaken. l-l'iurriedly lhomicides-~gazed in mute astonish- lment. The missionary prayed; but it sounded like no other prayerever perhaps addressed to the Throne of :GFBCCMIT was the cry of a naked soul, and that soul a beggar for the bread and. water sf heavenly life.â€"â€"â€" He ceased; and not till then did many become conscious of weeping. They looked around through their liars, and saw hundreds of other faces wet as with rain. ‘ Now, my friends,’ said tlte misl sionary, ‘partake of God’s gifts at the table, and then come and sit down and listen to his Gospel.’ It would be impossible to describe the sweet tone of kindness with which these simple words were uttered, that made him on the instant live iliundred friends. One heart, how- ever, in the assembly was maddened by the evidence of the preaclicr’s wondrous power. Col. Watt. For- man exclaimed, in a sncering voice, 'Mr. Paul Demon, your Reverence has lied ! You promised not only a good barbecue, but better liquor.â€" Where is the liquor?’ , ‘Therc!’ answerpd the missionary, tn tones of thunder, and pointing his motionless finger at a matchlcss double spring gushing up in two strong columns, with a sound like a shout ofjoy, from the bosom of the earth. ‘There !‘ be repeated, with a look terrible as lightning. while his encmv actually trembled at his feet. ‘There is the liquor which God the Eternal brevvs for all his children.

Notllo ing since has tasted halst sweet. The tricks we boys were up to, and actually carried out upon our now shook hands. and with a heart- felt good-bye, we started for our homes which lay in different points of .tlie compass. The father of Charley Wheeler was a merchant in the small toth of D . He had a l trge family, and having given his son a finished edu- cation, hc justly considered that he now ought to be able to care for not long in becoming familiar with my duties. Although surrounded by thousands of people yet not a familiar face among them met my gum, and aftet the novelty of my position wore off, I became lonesome, and longed for the companionship of some friend who had known me intimately. The though‘ struck me, that perhaps tenance indicated that his diseaSe was of no recent date. In fact the evils of dissipation had long been to work Upon him and had now left his reason unbalanced. During his short Sojourn in the city, the stranger had rushed madly on in libudown- ward course, until at last, those about him could not long look complacent- ly on his insane actions, and there- asylum, where he will spend the re- mainder of his life, as he is a con- firmed maniac. By tracing out his history, I have learned that after leaving the serv1cc of his employers in New York he Went to Australia, where, during the gold etioitement, lie rapidly made a fortune, and being elated by his suc- cess, he plunged deeply into dissipa- gauze around the midnight moon; sporting in the cataract, sleeping in the glacier, dancing in the hail- shower, folding its bright snow-coin tains softly about the wintry world; and weaving the many coloured iris â€"-â€"that seraph’s Zone of the sky, whose woof is the sunbeam of hea- ven, all checked over with celestial flowers by the mystic hands of rig- ing a young girl what her occupation was, was told by way of replyzâ€"‘l am an accmceuse cl‘ouv/‘oge (advancer of work.) ‘ And what, pray, is that ‘i’ ‘Vl'hy, you see, monsienr, there are an immense num-- ber of ladies who begin all sorts of fancy workâ€"crol’chet, worsted work,or knitting, and such things, on which they work in the evening, when the husband goes out to the club, the opera, or any other place to which madame does not happen to accent- .

" 'Onc, powerful target, on which we expended the most of our inge- ,._;nuity in annoying, was a long and _ , lunk tutor by the name of Buns,whom (‘5:- the boys styled ‘ Hot Buns.’ The ‘ many' times this poor man, who, by- the-way, wore Spectacles, was trip- ped down stairs, assaulted by pillows, _... ducked by water. and bodily injured by the little urchins under his conâ€" trol, is an impossibility to say, but certain it IS that experience in this ~thtsline taught him to use every precaution while traveling about the sheltly after Charley’s return home, in order to decide what pursuit Would be most likely to suite the youth’s tastes and disposition. Uncles, aunts, cousins and all agreed that Gharley had been cut out by nature for a merchant. and also, that the idea of such a smart young mart set- ting quietly down in a diminutiVe town like their own, was perfectly preposterous. No, he must go to New York, u here in the course of a few years he would honorably re- present his birth-place, by becoming a merchant prince. The next day the town tailor was making Charley a eomplete outfit of clothing, and his good mother commenced packing l lhim but i \vas doomed to disappoint- ment, for his employers informed me that while absent he had left their service and gone to parts unknown.
