C|e 8^tc|mait ?M JOT. OLLA PODRIDA. CTJKFEW SHALL NOT BING TO-NIGHT. Slowly England's sun was setting o'er the bill-tops far away. Filling all the land with beauty at the close of one sad day, And the last rays kissed the forehead of a man and maiden fair, He with footsteps slow and weary, she with son ny floatiog bair ; He with bowed beid, sad and thoughtful, she with lips all cold and white, Straggling to keep back the murmur ?'Curfew must not ring to-night." "Sexton," Bessie's white lips faltered, point? ing to the prison old, With Its turrets tail and gloomy, with its walls dark, damp and cold, *Fve a lover in that prison, doomed this very night to die, AL the ringing of the Curfew, and no earthly help is nigh ; Cromwell will not come till sunset," and her lips grew strangely white As she breathed the husky whisper : ''Curfew must not ring to-night." t*Be8sie," calmly spoke the sexton-every word pierced her young bean Like the piercing of an arrow, like a deadly poisoned dart, "Long, long years Pre rung the Curfew from that gloomy, shadowed tower ; Every evening, just at sunset, it has told the twilight boor ; I have done my duty ever, tried to do it just and right. Kow I'm old, ! still do it. Curfew it must ring to-cigbt." Wild ber eyes and pale her features, stern and white ber thoughtful brow, And within ber secret bosom Bessie made a solemn vow. She bad listened while the judges read without a tear or sigh ; "At the ringing of Curfew, Basil .Underwood must die." And ber breath came fist and faster, and her eyes grew large and bright In an andertone she murmured : t4Curfew mast not ring to-night." She with quick steps bounded forward, Sprung within the old church doo, Left the old man treading slowly paths so oft he'd trod before ; Xor one moment paused the maiden, but with eye and cheek aglow, Mounted up the gloomy tower, where the bell swung to and fro. As she climbed the dusty ladder on which fell no ray of light, 1 Up and ap-her white lips saying "Curfew shall not ring to-night." She has reached the topmost ladder, o'er her hangs the great dark bell, Awful is the gloom beneath ber, like the path - way down to hell. Lo, the ponderous tongue is swinging, 'tis the hour of Curfew now, And the sight has chilled ber bosom, stopped her breath and paled ber brow. Shall she let let it ring ? No, never I Flash ber eyes-with sudden light, And she springs and grasps it firmly '^Curfew shall not ring to-night ?" . Out she swung, far out, the city seemed a speck of light below, 'Twixt Heaven and earth her form suspended, as the bell swung to and fro. And the sexton at the bell rope, old and deaf, heard not the bell, Bat he thought it still was ringing fair yonng Basil's funeral knell. . Still the maiden clung more firmly, and with trembling lips and white, Said, to hush her heart's wild beating "Curfew shall not ring to-night 1" It was o'er, the bell ceased swaying, and.the maiden stepped once more Firmly on the dark old ladder, where for han dred years before Haman foot bad not been planted. The brave deed that she bad done Should be told long ages after, as the rays of setting sun Should illume the sky with beauty ; aged sires, with heads of white, Long should tell the little children Curfew did not ring that night. O'er tbe distant hills carce Cromwell ; Bessie sees him and her brow, Fall of hope and full of gladness, bas no anx? ious traces now. At his feet she tells herstory, shows her hands all bruised and torn ; And hnr face so sweet and pleading, yet with sorrow pale and worn, Touch-d his heart with sudden pity, lit bis eye with misty ljjht ; **6o! your lover lives," said Cromwell, "Carfew shall not ring to-night ?" THE TWO DOCTORS. FOUNDED OX EXPERIENCE. Thc New England village of N contained two rival doctors, both of whom were also rivals for the favor of the lovely Miss Ella Deane. Dr. Simp? son and Dr. Emmerns were two quite different individuals Dr. Simpson was somewhat more polished externally, more conventional, more fresh from his books, more given to routine, and, like many other physicians lat? ly graduated, felt that be could walk right ap to a patient, feel of his pulse, see his tongue, look wise, and then write off a Latin prescription that would scatter the dis? ease to the winds. Dr. ?mm o ns was less formal, less fetterd by the schools, lived-close to nature, aod, seeing how predisposed all men are to run in ruts, strove to think for himself, and to adapt His remedies to the condition and tem? perament of the patient. His hair was sot so immaculately smooth a? that of Dr. Simpson, and his coat was not quite so fashionable, but he possessed a nobie heart, and a genial soul shone out from his whole face, while the earnest contact of his hands with those of his patients as he greeted them seemed to give them new cheer and strength. Both physicians were frequent visi? tors at the residence of Dr. Deane, and Loth considered it a great favor to have ihe society and sprightly conversation the beautiful Ella, whose sweet sim? plicity of manner seemed to signify that she was quite unconscious of her own charms. Mr. Deane himself had a most tender affection for his daughter, and she in torn leaned on her father arith all a dang brer's love. Gradually it became apparent to alt that Ella's health was failing, and that her step, usually so elastic, was growing languid, and her face becoming pale, while a severe cough was setting in. Dr. Simpson informed her father that she was ia a serious condition and was rapidly running into phthisis p:tlmon alis. Dr. Em mons also informed him that her case, though not yet dangerous, was leading toto consumption and should be attended to at once. Mr. Deane, ?oticing what learned words Dr. Simp? son was in the habit of using and thut be designated her disease phthisis pul monalis at once, while Dr. Em mons didn't know any better than to call it consumption, concluded to employ the former to treat bis daughter, in fact, he hadn't the least idea that both terms meant the same thing and that Dr. Em mons generally used plain English when talking to unprofessional people. Dr. Simpson chuckled to himself over the fact that his system of technical claptrap had overawed Mr Deane and gained his point. 'Cure her Y said he to himself, 'of course I sbail cure her in a little while, and she in her grati? tude will easily be lcd to commit her? self to my care and keeping for the rest of her mortal life. As to Dr. Emmons, I pity him-somewhat, bathe is evident? ly not scientific and has lost the day. Bhe must have some cod-l^-jr oil for her biogs, and some ir?^n to tcne up her blood, for she is afflicted with auiemia.' With these thoughts the confi Simpson went forward to put bis th into practice, wholly unconscious ol fact that there were causes lying 1 of. these conditions of stomach lungs that must be reached if anytl permanent was to be effected. 'Preposterous !' said Dr. Emmoc himself, when he heard that cod-1 oil and iron had been forced down a stomach that was so weak as to unable to assimilate some of the sim foods. 'It looks now as if that ai girl was to be sacrificed to ignora for the real cause of her present difE ties will not be touched.' Dr. Einmons did not say this be the world at large, for they would 1 considered it. as a manifestation professional jealously ; nevertbel he grieved night and day ( the course which be felt sure w( destroy that lovely temple of a hui life. A few weeks served to prove truth of his fears, for Ella steadily I ed, the hectic flush made its appears more intensely and ber cheeks grew 1 low. The poor girl was even torte by blisters, wbiie her stomach was fi with indigestible compounds. Fina Dr. Simpson bad a consultation * other physicians of tbe same stamj himself, and as a result it was comm icated to Hr. Deane that he must \ pare for the worst, as Ella's case getting beyond haman power to sa Mr. Deane was almost beside h self with excitement, and turning ste ly to the doctor, he exclaimed : 'Dr. Simpson, you have wronged in tbis matter. When I placed daughters case in your bands she " not very low, and you declared that^ would have her all right in a little wh Instead of that she has grown woi My daughter herself declared that} were not reaching ber chief difficult and now I have come to tbe conclus that you are scientific only io tbe usc big words. Dr. Simpson, I want 3 to know that that dear girl is all I hs in the world, and if she dies my s will have gone from the sky, and I sL never want to see your face again." This was uttered with tears and energy that made the doctor tremb: but at the same time he tried to just himself, declaring that God's pro dence is inscrutable and beyond hum power to beor?. *It is more inscrutable,7 said R Deane, 'that a man spend years at medical college, and then when he co menees practicing makes people wo? than they were before. Allow me say that I shall have, DO further use your services." It Deeded a thund?rbolt of righter, indignation like this to set thc conceit young man to thinking and to ma him feel that something besides me druggist's stuff shoald bc used for u building human systems. Mr. Deane went to Dr. Emmons a begged him to make the most persiste efforts to save his daughter, although council of medical men had consider the case quite hopeless. Dr. Emmons at once stated that had given him a severe and discoura ing case to deal with, although it mig have been easily controlled at fir: However he would hope to save he although it would be necessary for L to undergo a process for eliminating t impure elements caused by tbe disea aud tho treatment that niigbt for t time being almost overwhelm ber. When Dr. Emmons went in to s Ella, she sent back an appealing Io into his very soul, exclaiming gentl 'Save me doctor, save me. I am n afraid to go to the other life, and som times I wish for its blessed rest, but n dear father would be disconsolate and feel that I must do some important wo here before I go.* The doctor thought that even in b weakness and emaciation there w something almost unearthly in that r diant countenance, and takiog ber bat tenderly in his, he exclaimed ; 'Yt little woman, I will raise heaven ai earth to save you if human power a do it.' He then told her that he would 0 ganize his forces and plans for a despe ate encouter with her disease and aj pear in the morning to carry them in effect, but in thc meantime he wou like to have her nurse make down wai passes over her spiue and all ber lim! wirb, the object of drawing the congestc j blood away from tbe vital parts ; ali j to practice transverse wringing mov< meets over the same parts to kindle tl blood. That night Dr. Emmons felt a might weight of responsibility upon him. ll j prayed for light, for help, for powei j Ile saw that the clogging and imput j elements of her ?ystem must be throw j off, and yet the ordinary methods ( sweatiug them off would be too weaker ing for one who was already very weak He had read how Baron D?puytre cured a lady after the most entinen physicians had failed by simply puttiri; her into the light, and he had hear marvellous tilings about the suu-healin. movement in the country, especially ii lung difficulties. Kl la had cheerful! promised to submit to any course of treat ment that Dr. Em mous mit'ht cotiside I best, but in the morning whet) he ar? I pearcd with a big funnel-shaped iustru , ment made of bright metal ou one arti ! and a wooden frame somewhat resem I hiing a chicken-coop on the other, shi gave a hearty laugh He then explained that bc had then made in hot haste that morning-tin j funnel, which was about two feet long i being for the purpose of concentrating ? a large amount of light by reflection J while the frame was for the purpo.-c 0 j going around her as she sat up in bed j This had a large opening in the toj i through which her head could come while blankets were to be spread ovei ! the crate-like affair, leaving her beac outside in the pure air and shutting it the radiations of her btuiy as well as th( sunlight which might be introduce': through the funnel. After a little laugh K'.la was bolster cd up in bed, thc crate was placed ovei her, a white blanket placed over that aud the small end of the funnel inserted through an opening in the crate so an t< throw the light directly on the skin over ber lungs. The bed was thou wheeled up to the window so that thc full sunlight, could come into thc lar^e end of the tunnel, care being taken that it should not strike Ella's head. 'Doctor you are a genius,' said Ella, after the first trial. 'This heat is de? lightful ! My dormant lungs drink it in jas if they were famished. If the sun j light is the great vitalizer, why should j not it kindle up human bodies when it j can get to them ? Doctor it begius to burn.' 'Let it burn a little,' said the doctor, .for it will Gre up the organs and draw j some of the soreness outside.' j After a little while the perspiration started, though it had hard work to re? lease the impure elements from the fever-closed pores. This sweatiog pro? cess was allowed to run twenty or thirty ; minutes, the light bavi?g been thrown upon the upper spine for a portion of the time. The nurse then washed ber io tepid water and was surprised tc fiod sticky aDd even colored matter thrown out upoD the skin. 4I feel easier and fresher thaD I have for days/ said Ella. 'But I shall have to keep this up every day for awhile,' said the doctor, even if it should weaken you some? what/ Day after day the work went on. The struggle was severe. Sunlight and massage roused the turbid elements to the very foundation, and one night he was sent for with the announcement that she was dying. 'I don't believe it/ said he, though at heart be was somewhat alarmed. .The crisis has come, and I trust that with a little help she will get safely thnJush/ He found her almost smoth ering, but ordered a hot foot bath, which drew the blood downward and gave relief. She had passed the Rubicon. From that time onward she moved steadily upward, to the great chagrin of the other doctors. She soon sat up, then walked a few steps out of doors, then took short rides, then longer rides, and fioally she declared that her health was in as good condition as ever. The roses came back to ber cheeks, and elasticity to her steps. But another change had been going on between the patient and her physi? cian. To each ?lie approach of the other was like the coming of a new sun into the sky. With childlike simplic? ity and yet with delicacy they uttered their kind regards to each other. Finally when the doctor determined to bring matters to an absolute crisis, Ella knew it as weli as he. .Sweetest of women/ said he. 'Noblest of men,? said she. 'You darling you know well enough what I am up to.' *Of course I do/ was her answer, .but say it nevertheless ' 4 Will you be my sweeter half for ever and ever ?' 'Certainly, dear, if you will be my stronger half for ever and ever.'-E. D. Babbitt, ia Phrenological Journal. Mrs. Chap?n in Mobile. MOBILE, Jan. 31.-Mobile gave such a hearty reception to the distin? guished lady representative of the Woman's Christian Temperance Un? ion, Mrs. Sallie F. Chapin, at Sea? men's Bethel that the house was not large enough to coutain the crowd which assen?Med, aitd the meeting had to be adjourned to the Govern? ment Street Presbyterian Church, which notwithstanding the fact that it is the largest edifice of its kind in the city, could not coutain those who de? sired admittance. The vast audience was charroed with the captivating temperance ad? dress of the lady, as well as with her associate, the charming vocalist, Mrs. Judge Brooks, of Selma, Ala., who rendered some touching temperance songs. The presence of these ladies and their work has aroused the spirits of temperance people, and brought additions to their ranks. The ultima? tum of the project is prohibition, and it will be preached throughout the city in^the*churches. Apropos of the subject, Mobile has a population of 16 955 whiles and 12,443 colored, lt is said the colored people strongly favor prohibition. Mobile has at least 300 places where the above pop? ulation may get by wholesale or re? tail the ardent.-limes-Democrat. Keilli Sprints feral Water. Testimonials cf Eminent Physicians cf the State.
