8ays Dr. James Cnpclnnd:
A not uncommon cause of depressed vital
power is tlie young sleeping witli the aged.
This fact, however explained, has been -long
mmnked ntul is well known to every unprejudiced
observer. I have on several ocj
casions met with tlio counterpart of the following
ease: 1 was, n few years ago, consulted
about a pale sickly and thin bo}*, of about
four or five years of age. ire appeared to
have no specific ailment, but there was a
slow and remarkable decline of flesh and
j strength, and of the energy of tho functions
I ?wlmt his mother very aptly termed n
gradual blight. After inquity into tho history
of the case, it come out that he had
been a very robust and plethoric child up to
his third year, when his grandmother a very
aged person, took him to sleep with her;
that he ftOou afterwards lost his good looks ;
and that he continued to decline progressive
ly ever since, notwithstanding medical treatment.
1 directed liitn to sleep apart from
the aged parent, and prescribed gentler tonic,
change of air, etc. Tho recovery was
rapid. / ~ . /,
But it is not in children, only, that debility
is induced by this mode of abstracting
vital power. Young females married to
very old MM Miller in a similar manner although
seldom, to aogvoAt an extent ; and
instances have come to my knowledge where
they have 5>u. jn ckd thocauat of this debilknown

An otnusino tweUhjtonhtl. story ht told of
the olden lime of, New iCngmnii. It so ft!I
out that two' vtiling people became very
much smitten with entftotner,'w$ young people
sometime* do. The . youugrtiwi man's
father was a wealthy QuVkor?We young
man was poor but respeuttrtJle. The tiithor
couhl 8tnp?l 11" Mjieli union:' {nit ie.v>!uUj!y
opposed it, nnd the daughter d.iro not iffsoher
dnenlv. fill* bit*
whilo she pretended never Jo see him, ami
.-.be pined and faalvd in apite of herself?She
was really in love?a state of sighs alul
tears which women oftener reach in ihiagination
than reality. Still rite lather remained
hiexornble. Time passed on, and the rose
on Mary's datuask cheek passed oil'. She
let no concealment^ like a "worm in the bud,''
pray on that damask cheek, however, but
wh'cn her fnt!l6r k*ked fiW v hy site plnodj
she alwaytf told lfim. The old wren w;<* a
widower and loved his girl dcaiiy. Had it
been a widowed mother who had Mary in
charge, n woman's pride ptttvei would Lave
given Way betore the importunities of n
daughter. Men are rittt, hoWcver, so stnbhoin
in ?nch matters, and w hen 'tltc father
saw thai the daughter's heart witfjt really set
upon the match, ho surprised her one day
hy breaking out: '"Marv, ratlior than mope
to death, thou hadst bettor marry as thee
chooses, and when the? nl eases'."
And what, did Mary I Wi.it till tiro birds
of the air hud told hers wain 01' the clutuco,
or till her father had tiiue to chancre hi*
mind again I Not a bit of it- She clapped
he? neat, plain bohuet on her head, \Vi?Ilc?>Vt
directly into the street, and us directly to
the house of her intended as the street could
carry her. .She walked into the h?u*e without
knocking?f->r knocking was not then
t'rsbionablo?and sbo found tlie.family ia?i
hitting down to dinner. Some little coin
motion was exhibited at so ,m unexpected
apparution as tm heiress iu tho widower]*
cottage, but she heeded it not, John look:
ed up inquiringly?she walked to bun, and
took hi* hand in hoi's ; "John," Ihfrfcfic,
"fittlicf saVS I may lmve thou." And .John
got diieclW up from the table and went to
tbe parson's. In just twciity-iivo minuter
they were man ami wife.
