Doctor iEnas Hacbrids.

' BI OEOROR ACODST01 SALS.

Dr. 'TCnas Macbride . was strong Incomparative -- anatomy and dissectedever-tbin- that came in bis way; Hisdissect tag-roo- m was in the cart yard ofthe Palszzt Carmrnali, K ime. but itwas upstairs in his library and alone tha"II Scozzftae" carried oat his choicestmanipulations and made the more delicate of his "preparations of baraanmuscles, arteries, veins and nerves,whicb,when completed,' were displayed underglass shades on a. large table in the centcr of the apartment. It was at this ta-

ble tbat, having ju9t finished the dissection of a very small hand never mindto what kind of creatore the hand,-whil-

it was a living one,' had belonjed ihtbe was sitting one evening in July, 1755,when U suddenly ocenrred to him thatha bad exhausted his supply of cochineal wi'.b which' to tinge the melted waxwhich he proposed to inject on the morrow morning into the venous system ofhis "preparation." ' " '

Dr .dStas Macbride proceeded to thewell-know- n druggist's shop kept hv Sig.Psnciarotto, at the cornet of the Via deCondotti. It was one of the largest andmost' handsome shops in Rome - Hemade bis purctase and placed the packetof cochineal in a side pocket. ' - i "

"Stay, he suddenly exclaimed, pausing on the threshold;" I had forgottensomething. Tou must make me up, ifyou please," that admirably ifQtncioussleejiufc draught with the secret of theformula of which only yon and I arecogn'zmt, and which has given ease toso many of mv pitients. Will you prepare It for me at once ? I must take itwith me."

"With pleasure, illutris$imo ed tacel-lenttiiim- o

Doltore" siid the apothecary,as he bustled from jar to jar and bottleto bottle, pouring various ingredientsinto a glass vial. "'Tis a wonderfulsleeping draught, to be sure. I have triedit on my wife who, poor soul, endnresagonies from the toothache, and It neverfails in producing slumber. To he sure,had yon not poMtielv told me that thepotion was quite harmless, I should havebfen afraid to use it; lor the sleep whichit brings about is so deep and so long asto be really tike the sleep of death."' He had soon completed bis task, andDr. Macbride, 'placing the vial in hiseide-'poch- tt with the cochineal, left thefarmaria. He crossed the Piazia diSpsgna, in the direction of .the Collegeof the Propaganda, when, just as he badreached the spot where now Is the mon-

ument, his. path was cosied by a tallman who was wrapped in 4 long browncloak and who wore bis broad flappedhat slouched over his eyes.

' "It's all verv well for yon to slouchyonr hat over your eyes, mv friend,'said. Dr. Macbride. to himself; "but Iknow that hat and cloak very well or Iam grievously mistaken. They belongto the nameless man who lodges in oneof tbe' garrets ft the Palaz;i CarroinalUI once nursed youMhrough a fever, myfriend,' and gave you money to get yourcloak out' of pawn.' 'I don t think yon

ould do me any harm, although folksdo say that you are a tpadanico a hiredassassin."'

Scarcetv had he thus mentally expressed himself when he beard, in a tow voicebehind him, tbe single word, "Eccolo VI

and' immediate'y he was seized from be-

hind by sfong arms, a heavy cloak wasthrown over his head and he was liftedfrom the gronnd and carried some yards,then he was thrust forward on to whatseemed to be some kind of bench or seat ;

the arms which had se'iri him had re-

laxed their grasp, a door was slammed,and he became aware that he was in arapidly moving wheeled vehicle.

Dr. Enas Macbride bad in verity beenkidnapped by two-men-, forcibly carriedby Ihem to a coach, one of the doors ofwhich was standing wide open, huddledinto the vehicle, and was rapidly drivenaway. Tbe whole proceeding, indeed,had beeq watched with tbe liveliesHnter.est by an individual who was clad in along brown cloak, and who wore bis hatleached over his eyes.and -- there is now

no . indiscretion ; In saying it wes thenameless man-- who lived in cne of thegarrets of Palszs Carminali, and whoseprofession was conjectured to be that ofan asMsssta for hire ; and as he watchedthe carriage rapidly retreating into tbeshadows the nameless man was jioglingsome golden coins in bis pocket andchuckling merrily.

"Ten ducats, he reflected, 'ten ducatsfor only pointing nut the signor to tbem.And tbev have sworn not to do him anyharm. Of course if they had wanted tobarm him they would bave come to me ;

hut I would not have stabbed the SignorDottore, 'no, not for a hundred ducats.I will go and drink a bottle of Cbianti."

While tbe nameless man was thus con-gratulating himself on the successful re-

sult of hisexceplionslly bloodless night'swork, unseen hands had relieved Dr.iEnas Macbride of the heavy cloak inwhich he had been muffled and in whichhe had been all but sufflocated. He satup to find himself indeed in the interiorof what was evidently a carriage belonging to eome person of rank. The

w w r

blinds were closely drawn down, bat asmall lamp hanging from the roof gavesufficient light for him to see that the opposite seat was occupied by two gentlemen very richly dressed, but whose coun-

tenances were wholly concealed by masksof black silk, having deep fringes of tbesame material. O e of tha gentlemenhastened to Inform htm tbat he mustsubmit to have his eyes bandaged, as theperson into whose presence they wereto conduct him was a lady of rank,whose tame and place of abode It wasimperatively necesssary to conceal. ;,Asbe pulled the bandage out of his pocketand proceeded very adroitly to adjust itto the doctor's eyes, his companion tookocCisi6n to remark that he and the othergentleman were fully armed, and shouldtbe doctor at this or at any other stageof the proceeding offer the slightesVre- -sisiance to any request wdicu was proi-fere- d

to him he wiuld be immediatelystabbed to death.' Upon this admonUiohDr JE ias Macbride, determined, like thecanny Scot he was, to hold bis tongueand see when be was permitted to usebis eyesight again what came of it.

It seemed to him that the carriagewas continually turning, and was beingdriven through a great variety of streets.possibly with the view to prevent hisforming any accurate Idea as to the partof the tjitv to which he was being conducted. - The' coach at length stoppedand the door was opened for htm. Histwo companions took bim each underone arm, assisted him to alight and conducted bim up a narrow staircase into aroom where, after a moment's pause, lhebandage was removed from his eyes. 'Hefound himself ia A small drawing-roo- m

or boudoir, dimly lighted by wax tapersand richly furnished, although sheets andpieces of tapestry had been thrown oversome ' of the chairs or plaoedSin front oftbe picture irames as though for the purpose of preventing' a stranger from tooclosely identifying the contents of theroom; ''There was a flask of wine onthe table, and one of lhe gentlemen Oileda large bumper of Venetian glass andoffered it to Dr. Macbride. ' f ;

T want no wine," he said coolly ; "itmay be poison for aught I know. ' 1

The 'gentleman "who had offered himthe wine, and who was, very tall and cladin a suit of dark blue paduaioy richlylaced in gold, for all reply put the goblet--

to his lips and tossed off the contents ata draught. ' Then his companion, whoWas shorter and stouter neither bad re-

moved hU mask ad(f who wore a greendoublet and coat laced with silver, filledanother glass with wine and offered it tothe doctor, aay in g, "Ton' had betterdrink it. Rsmsmber what I told you inthe: carnage. Wa allow m trifling inthia house; and, besides, you have needtor nerve yourselt for what you have todo!"

"I don't like Dutch courage," repliedDr. Macbride, 'and am hot us 3d to dramdrinking to nerve me for my. work.However.as I have not the slightest wishto have" my throat cut, and you appearto be to cut it" both gentle-men nodded their heads significantly"at a moment's notice if things do notgo as you wish them to go, I wilt drinkAnd now," he resumed after a very mod-erate potation, 'what is it tuat you desiremetodo?" ,

"To perform a surgical operation." '

"When?""This instant." - 5 (

Where?" - :

"You shall see." 'y

As the taller of the two masked menmade this reply he took the doctor bythe arm 1 and led him . forward.: Theshorter gentleman lifted the heavy velvetcurtain veiling an .open porta', and thethree passed into a vast bed chamber.Here everything In the way of furniture,and even the eeilinv and the curtains andcounterpane of. a huge four-po- st bed. inthe center of the room, had been shroud-ed in whHe sheeting. At the foot of thebed thero sat, or rather there was half-reclini-

in a laree chair covered withcrimson velvet, a young lady she couldscarcely be more hsn nineteen-- exceed-ingly beautiful and with golden hair thatrippled . over her shoulders. Her baodtwere tightly clasped and she was deathlypale She was clad in a long, looselyfl wing robe ol some silky materiel, andDr . Macbride could see tbat her littlefeet were bare. . .

"Ton see this woman this most guilty and unhappy woman ?' said in a harshvo ce, the taller of the two gentlemenShe has disgraced - the noble family towhich she belongs and U is necessarythat she . should, be deprived of, lireHere is, a '.case of lancets and you willinstantly prepsre to bleed her to death."

' She ia prepared to submit to her fate,'ailded. the, shorter gentleman in greenand silver, "and you will make the great-est possible expedition, I heed scarcelysay that you will

'be amply recompensed

for your pains" ."

. I will do no such horrible and un-

manly thing," cried Dr. --Enas Macbride"Dp you think, tbat I, a physician, wnoebounden duty it is to do everything thathe possibly cn to save human' life beit that otthe new born infant or of thedotard of ninety would consent to putto a cruet deal) a poor lady who should

can give 7 D your bu cher work your-self; I'll have no band in.it." ;'.'

"It U precisely," replied the latter gen-tleman, "because we are desirous thatthia indispensable work should not bedone in a butcherly manner .that we havebrought you here.. You are known tobe the ekillfulest surgeon in Rome, andyou will perform the operation at onceby opening, the veins in her ankles. Ifyou re 'use, I swear that I and my bro"

be checked himself before he couldwholly pronounce tne word "brother""my companion will fall on yon with ourponiards and back you to death."

"Do their bidding," said in a low.faintvoice the young lady in the arm-chai- r. '

"Do I hear aright?" said the doctor. -

"You do," resumed the lady. "Dotheir bidding, or you will Incur a fate asdreadful as my own."

Dr. jEnas Macbride appeared to hesi-

tate for a moment, then he said, "I will

do your will; and may heaven forgiveme for yielding to you! But I musthave a vessel a large vessel of warmwater."

"That shall at once be procured," re-

plied the taller of the masked men, leav-ing the room.

You will remember that Dr. vEnasMacbride was also tall of stature. He

bent over . the reclining lady and rhis- -

pered something in her ear. 7"I have told her," he : said drawing

himself np in full height, "that I will nothurt her much." -

presently two female attendants, eachclosely ms8hi(j,reaterpd lhe 'room.'f ar7rylni betweenMhe-rr-i large arlvertubfull of warm water,-- This vessel theyplaced before the young lady, who, with-out a word, immersed ber feet in the water, iben Dr. Macbride, once morebending over the victim, smoothing the1

liatr on ber forehead, and feeling herpulse, knelt, lancet in hand, 'by the sideor tbe silver foot-bat- h. He rose, looked in the victim's face, chose a fresh lan-

cet, and knelt again by the - side of thefooth-bst- h. Tae water was now deeplydiscolored.' Ere long it was completelycrimson-- - " ; V ;i 1 -

--,"How she bleeds!" said the tall manwho, With folded arms, was watching tbescene. Tbe young lady had fallen backin her chair, her arms hanging loosely.

"Sbeis insensible!" said the shorterof the masked men. ? ; .

was plscad on the seat beside the doctor. Tuat something else was the body.rolled up in many thicknesses .of whitelinen, of the lady who had been bled todeath ! :. The ear ri age rqsde a route ascircuitous as before to .tbe: Piazza deSpagna; but it was then, at ; Dr. Mac-bride- 's

request, driven round to tbe en-

trance of the narrow lane behind thePalazso Carminali. . Then the. burdenwrapped in white linen was carried bythe doctor and the taller of the maskedmen by the back door .into , tbe dissect- -inz-roor- a, and laid like a stone on tbetable, i The doctor noticed that his fellow-bear- er was tremblinz violently, andhe had evidently had enough of horrorsfor tbat. night! v .

Three months afterward Dr. 2fS teasMacbride returned to Eiinburg, bringing with him bis wife, a-- , young and extremely handsome Italian lady, of a noble R mau family. Pope Beoedipt XIV..the enlightened and humane Lambretioi.had much to do with brihgiag about tbemarriage of the handsome young; ladywith "II Dottore Enea - Mavbride, ScosZ'se. - tie nan inrormau tne younglady's brothers; Don Rafaelle and DonAntonio Cordiscoglior Counts .of thaiilk, that if they did not, consent to thematch and pay over, a very large fine tothe Apostolic Chamber they - would beprosecuted, with the rigor of the law (orhaving basely attempted to murder jtheirsister by causing her, as : they thought.to have the veins of her ankles openedOf coarse they bad never,-- been opened.Dr. Macbride, while , pretending to execute tbe dreadful behests of Doo .Rafaelle and Don Antonio Cordicoglio, hadfirst administered to her a potion whichspeedily reduced her to complete insen-

sibility, and had next 'skillfully mingledwith the warm water in which the feet ofthe patient bad been immersed tbe con-

tents of the packet of cochineal whichhe had purchased at the farmicin Pan- -

ciaroHo. The poor girl a only offensehad been that she had imprudently, andin mere girlish folly, encouraged lor a

short time the addresses of a yonng man;much ber inferior ' in rank ; but by herhaughty and' vindictive . brothers thistransient flirtation was esteemed a crimewhich her death alone could expatiate.How fortunate it was that Dr. Macbridewas so much addicted to making ana.tomical 'preparations,' necessitating tbeuse of cochineal for their perfection ! ' Ifancy however, that alter his raarriazehe ceased to dissect small dead" bands,and consoled himself' with coveringsmall live ones with kissel.

Mr. Wbaokem, a fiery schoolmaster,lost another - scholar yesterday. . Tneclass was parsing a sentence. "Whatis the imperative of the verb 'to go ?'"said Whackem to Johnny Fizzletop"I don't know." "Go!" shouted Wback'em. "Thank you, air," ' replied Johnny,and be was two streets off before tbeteacher could catch bis breath.

. :Z Who Pays for It. :

Speaking about getting married. Harper a Haztr says: It is not etiquette forthe groom tV furnish anything for hisown wedding but the ring and a bouqietfor tbe bride, presents for tbe bride-mai- ds

and the best man, and some tokento the ushers. - He pays the clergyman.

He should not, pay for the cards, tbecarriages, tbe entertainment, or anythingconnected with the wedding ' This isdecided in the high conrt of etiquette.That is the province of tbe family of thebride, and should be insisted upon. Ifthey are not able to do this, there shouldbe no wedding and no cards. It is bet-ter for a portionless girl to go to the al-

tar in a traveling dress and to send outno sort of invitations or wedding cards,than to allow the groom to pay for them.Tbis ia not to the disparagement of therights of the groom. Ii is simply aproper and universal etiquette- -

At the altar the groom, if he is a millionaire, make his wife his equal by saying : "With all my worldly goods I theeendow"; but until he has uttered thesewords she baa no claim on his purse forclothes, or cards, or household furnish-ing, or anything but those articles whichcome under the head of such gifts as itis a lover's province to give.

himself entirely to scientifia pursuits, forwhich he had a remarkable aptitu le.uatilhis physical necessities compelled him tobecome a hack writer lor dts'ingulshodliterary men ot more- - practical abilityHe was the aole author.compiler and editor of the first edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, giving not only tbedefinitions,, but the root and history ofover 16,000 words derived from otherlanguages, including all tbe written langnages of tbe world thirty in numberof every one of which h must bave hadsome critical 'knowledge. Regarded inthis light, it is tbe most wonderful literary labor' ever performed by one man.No other lexicographer ever accomplished It.' Dr. Johnson was the literary wonder.of bis age. : Horace Walpole says ofbim: "His dictionary is a 'surprisingwork for one man, but sufuoient exampies in, foreign' countries show tbat tbework .is too much for one man, and tbata society alone pretend to publish a standard dictionary." Webster s first dictionary was only' a compilation fromstandard authorities, with the addition ofpurely American idioms and .etymology,exnimting neither originality nor research, being adapted only to tbe Use ofschools to tbe learners and hot to tbelearned and was rejected as a standaidby the British institutions of learning onaccount of tbe slang phrases, with onlya local signification, which It attemptedto introduce into the common Esglishlanguage. In regard to derivative words'which comprise so large a share of ourlanguage, the dictionary edited by Fare!val and published In the name of NoahWebster, ia now adopted-a- s the higheststandard authority by all tbe universitiesof. --Great Britain and America. Thegreat fortune of Noah Webster in life,and bis world-wid- e fame as the greatestlexicographer of any age.are based a Ielyon the unrequited labor of Jamea GPercival, wbo died io poverty in a mi'ner'a cabin in Western Wisconsin, "unwept, unbonored and anwung."

SERGEANT MOLLY PiTCllER.'

Taking her Husband's Place at IllsCannon and Flgming it Throughthe Battle.The bas-reli- cast for the Monmouth

monument represents Sergeant MollyPitcher as a beautiful young woman.She stands barefooted and bareheadedin front of a cannon ramminz a chargehome. Her dead husband lies at herfeet. The ponderous wheels of tbe irnn.with old fashioned iron bands holdingthe joints of the felloes, are well brought,out. A bareheaded gunner stands close 'by, bait in hand. Opposite another gun .

the foreground General Knox ri'desaway, flourishing his sword.

Molly Pitcher was tbe wife of a can- -

nonier In Wayne s command. Whenthe American forces retreated from FortClinton and the enemy was scaling lheramparts her hnsband dropped bis matchand fled. Molly caught it up, fired thepiece and then scampered off. At thebattle of Monnoutb, on June 28, 1778,she brought water to her husband anJhis companions from A spring near by.A shot killed her husband, and tbe officer in charge having no one aompetentto fill his place, ordered the piece to bewithdrawn. Molly heard tbe order asshe was coming from the spring, drop--' '

ped her bucket, eeizid tbe rammer and'worked the cannon until the close of the1fight. Oi tbe following morning, saysLossing, General Greeue presented her,still covered with dirt and blood, toWashington, wbo at once gave her acommission as sergeant. She was placedfor life upon the list of half pay officers,and soon after the battle lelt tbe army. '

She died near Fort Montgomery on theHudson, "The venerable widow ofGeneral Hsmiltrn," Lossing adds, "toldroe she bsd often seen Captain M01IV. '

She was a stout, red-haire- freckled-face- d

young Irish woman, with a hand- - ;

some, plercicg eye. Tbe French officers,charmed by the story of her bravery,'made her many presents. She wouldsometimes pass along tbe French lineswith her cocked hat and get it almostfilled with crowns " Molly was twenty- -'

two years old at the time of the battle.A painting by Colonel Custis, Washington's stepson, gives a spirited representation 01 tna scene.
