May my lot no less fortunate be
l'han a snug elbow-chair can aftord for reclin

And a oot that o'erlooks the wide sea ;
With an ambling pad pony to pace o'er the
lawn,
While I carol away idle sorrow,
And blithe as the lark that each day hails the

Look forward with hope foq to-morrow.
With a porch at ry door noth for shelter and
shade, too,
As the sunshine or rain may prevail ;
And a small spot of ground for the use of the

With barn for the use of the itail;
A cow for my dairy, a dog for my game,
And a purse when a friend wants to borrow ;
I'it envy no nabob his riches or fame,
Nor what honors await him to-morrow.
From the bleak northern blast may my cot be
completely
Secured by a neighboring hill;
And at night may repose steal upon me more

By the sound of a murmuring rill;
And while peace and plenty I find at my board,
With a heart free from siukneas and sorrow,
With my friends may I share what to-day may

And let them spread the table to-morrow.
And when I at last throw off this frail covering

liulon Life vouches for the truthful
ness in every particular of the following
narrative, the names alone being with
held
"Very recently a rising young plhysiian
in the West End of London was sun1
moned to attend an ugent cane. As 1 hie
carriag-e drew up at, the door, he obseIrved,
that there was an awning and a ear
pet extending fron the portal to thn
curb, and on reaching the hall he fonul
that the bcuse was thronged with peoplo
in evening dress. The mIe'.enger, speak
ing to a white-haired military-looking
gentleman who sat alone before the fin
place, said
"Sir IIugh, this is Dr. Fielding," an d
withdrew.
The gentleman addressed rose from hi.
chair, and as he stood in the blazing
light of the sea-coal fire lie seemeud a man
in whose splendid physieal presence the
Doctor at once recognized the person of
at famous naval comnmander, whose deedI
of personal prtwess in the Paeitlc and in
the China Seus had won for him somt.
thing more than a national reputation.
''Be seated, Doctor," he said, pointing
to a chair. "My daughter was to have
been married to-day. I have sen! for
you because I know your reputation for
the treatment of net vous diseases is very
high."
''My p)rofessionial skill is at yomur ser
vice," said the Doctor.
"Your answer is frank and to the
po'int," returned the Baronet. ''The mar
riago of my daughter has not taken p)lace.
To-day she paussed from a state of vivae.
ity and ha'ppiness into one of stupoCr.
All our efforts to arouse her have provedI
unavailing. In order that you may comi
prebend the entire situation, I shiall bie
torce'd to detail somne of myi own) and oef
rmy family history. Her rnother was ai
native of the East Indies. I married herv
after a brief conrtshlp, when I was a
Flag Lieutenanut in the East India sqiuad-e
iou, many years ago. She was tho daugh
ter of a missionar-y who had giv-en over
is ze'abous ambition to convert thme heL
then of Burmnah, aud had gone into t rad.
In a short time his fortume had reached
ani inIcredib)le amnounlt. There were vaigno
rumo ra that the greater part of it had
been gathered by tran)sactions in opwum.
The young lady herself was beautiful arnd
talented, aund the sole heiress to her fa -
thaer's enIormousI wealth. Among thL'
naunmy suitors who esme I was the suec
eessfl one, anid our wedding in nmay I".
spects was a remarkable affair. Our onlyh
child was born some years later, ;in'd
shortly afterward I wvas ordered to an air
'luous sier-ice in thme Corean waters. On
its 'omfpletion I returned to England to
ti.nd my wife broken in health, aind the
nectim of the most piainful complication
of disorders. It was necessary to allay
her pain, and to do this morilia was re
sortal to. She lingered on and died. Be
fore her death, she to'ld me in a lueid mo
ment that she had learned the use of
opium in her childhood, and that while
ahe had never become a slave to it, she
bad nevertheless taken it with regularit y,
and she had no doubt that her illness r'e.
suIted from the habit. In this view the
physician who at tended her concurred.
Now, sir, my child appears to me to hauve
been using some drug. I have no reason
tr believe that she is a slave to the habit
of taking opium, in any of its hortible
forms, but myheartis burdened with the
gravest apprehensions. Should you dis
cover that she is, the wedding ceremony
which is only postponxed, nAallI never taeke
place. The l>nmdegroom is the pon of my
dearest friend, and I can never permit
that he shall have the prospect of a life
of misery, such as mine has been ; tho
more so, for the reason that there is no
way to ensmoe happiness for her."
- They passed out through the hall, up
the stairoase, encountering the guests
who had been bidden to the mnarriage
feast taking their departure. Some (Cf
them ave ooks of curiosity, but all of
them had a word of sympathy or a pres
sure of -the hand to bestow upon the
stricken father as he passed bv.
On reaching the landing the Earonet
stopped for a moment to recover hi.' self
possession, and then gently opening a
door, ushered the Doctor Into thepa
tient's chamber. The sight that greeted
the Doctor's eye embraced asa Its central
feature the form of a young lady elad in
a dress of whiti satin, and lying on a
bed. A bridal vai, of delicate lace trailed
its luxuriant length over the back of a
chair, on which alao hung a wreath of
orange blossoms.
Ina a moment the man of soience saw
that the father's worst fears were justi
fied. A mere glance at the swollen eye
lids, whose unnatural yellow color was
beightened by the dark-blue veins that
traversed theth, showed that the young
lady was not only the victim of a larger
po tiotan she had been accustomed
totk,but that the custom itself was

Pro$er remedies were administered s)
uocessfully that in a few minute. the
victim was aroused from the state of
coma into which she had fallen, and
brought to her feet. Then began the
heroic treatment. She was beaten with
hands, pricked with sharp points, and
subjected to repeated shocks from a gal
vanic battery, while her stomach was at
tacked with the most powerful emetics,
and all the while she was kept walking
up and down the room, despite her
pleadings to be allowed to lie down and
close her eyes.
It took many hours before the im
mediate danger passed away. Then the
Doctor sought the Baronet in his library.
and .m(id without preface:
"Your daughter, sir is a confirmed
opium-eater; not only has she used the
diug in that form, but she has taken it
sub-cutaneously."
"This is horrible news," moaned tie
father. "Cannot this frightful habit be
checked and finally stopped? If you
can stop it, or if you think you can, re
linquish your career to devote yoursel:
to the task, and I will give you my
whole fortune; nay, even my life."
Dr. Fielding shook his head gloomily.
No," he said, " science has not donc
that. Even in Paradise appetite reignet
and ruined."
That night the Doctor pored over his
bo()k., and finally, as if possessed o
some new impulse, he hastened to hi;
laboratory, and selecting from its shelve
a bottle, carefully measured out a portioi
of morphia. He was about to condue
an experiment of which he himself wat
to be the subject.
It does not require many months fo
opium to assert its sway. Within a yona
the subject had becomo the ruler, ani
the student was enthralled probabl3
beyond the power of escape. Meanwhilt
he devoted himself to the case of th
Baronet's daughter. Ho sacrificed hi:
own career, shunned his old associates

lis time by her side, or in the retire
nient of his own rooms, dreaming in
blissful, fateful sleep.

at last chceked her eraving for the drug
anid loosened the fetters of habit, thougli
unfortituately, without. being able ti
l)renk them. The father, noticing th
firat results, was transported with joy
but seeing that the improvement was no
permanent, became the prey of a renewed
anxiety. Ho questionled the Doeto
closely. The answers gave him no sati;"
faction. Sid experienc had given bin
a keen insight. One day the though
flashed upon him that, the )octor himsel
betrayed symptoms of being an opiun
slave. He bluntly put the question.
" Do you take opium?"
The 15octor's pallid face, his trenblinf
nerves, his lustreless eyes, gave one an
swer but the honor of the ma ll uad<
him pause before he opened his lips-_
and lied. He had been devoting so mtiel
labor and time to the study of this case
he said, that his health had felt some il
effects; but. lie had now become evel
more hopeful than ever, and he felt tha
the future was bright with almost as

THE HERO OF THE COMSTOCK.
A Great Reputatle. Ruaed by Too Much T
Zeal.
[From the Carson Appeal.l
Years ago, in the early days of the a
Comstoelt excitement, Pat Holad now al
Postmaster and Coroner in a little town 0
in Cachise County, Arizona, was the s<
most respected man in the State. He w
had the reputation of being a dead slot fi
with the pistol. Of course this accent- Y
>lishmient made him feared by everybody, o
and there was no man in Virginia sobold li
as to cross him in public. Pat acquired 1
his repntation by shooting on the stage, iI
and could knock an applo off his son's v
head with an accuracy and carelessness li
which combined to inpreus the public v
far more than the manner in which the A
painstaking William Tell performed the I
feat with an arrow. Finally Pat seoured li
a young lady who would allow an applo 0
to be shot off her flaxen roll, and when 11
Pat executed the feat h would throw '
his keen eye at the girl and then roll his i
orbs up into the gallery, and without 1
looking at his mark, send a bullet through K
the fruit. This was put, down on the I
bills as "Pitt Holland's psycological feat e
of shooting from memory,'' and drew 8
erowded houses. One night he adver
tisedl to shoot apples from twelve young I
ladies' heads in succession, and aniy tako I
one look ut the crowd. Piper's Opera a
House was packed with men at it dollar S
a head, and when the curtain ro ,se twelve f
immaeulate ballet diieers were in line fi
along the wings, each with an apple On <
her head. Pat stepped to the footlights i
and htowed amid ttemendouls applht;4e. e
He had it six-shooter in each had 141, and s
ithe stage manager annosuced that he (
would shoot the last six aples with his I
left hand. Castinfg his eye along the !
linve, he took a long Ireat Ii, a ste:ly pesi.

trick was it once apparent. Each apple
had a fine thread attached, and at tho v

aupes behind the scenes got coiifused at
P'at's rapid firing, and Ia+lf the allples i

maiitched off simultaneously, and the j
strings overbipping in the :,ir brought
the apples together, where they hung to c
the edge of the scone, thlt sitrings being
