rillßiriA>N SVMPATBITr Tt is told of the venerable Dr. G probably the most eminent surgeon in this country, that while performing Operations beiore hij class in the Block ley hospital, a little girl was placed upon Ihe table. Tbe child was a pauper bearing in every feature the signs of want and poverty. The operation required was amputa tion at the hip joint, one of the most difficult in snrgerv. She was brought nuder the influence of at» anesthetic. The surgeon rapidly explained to the students tbe necessity o4 tbe operation, and tlie probability, that the poor baby wou!d die under the knife. He took tbe instruments, glanced down at tbe thin white of the little creature v liom the world had used so hardly, and then suddenly stooped and kissed her on the lips. » Hientlemcn, you will pardon me,' he snid, with au nusteady voice; 'I am a fi«tber.' The operation was successful, and the child, we arc glad to say, did not die. There is evidence that ibe most pncnesslul physicians have been those who, besides learning and skill, possess ed itreat tenderness and quick sympathies. Ho profession, probably, requires the 4'XT)rci*e of a higher sense of honor, or finer tact. Men are apt to show to their physician the skeletons in their bome», and the diseases of their mind, as well as the ailments of their bodies. There i«, perhaps, no profession in which lil>erality is as constantly and secretly practiced. ' „ Dr. II ,an eccentric, well known in the West a few years ago, was noto rious for his enormoasUcharges to the rich, and his lavish generosity to the poor. A penniless man who employed him was almost sure of a comfortable support for himself and his family as long as he was a patient. A Methodist clergymau who had re quired a costly operation and long attendance raised five hundred dollars with) difficulty, and then asked the surgeon for his bill, trembling lest the amount Would not cover it. He ex pected no mercy, as the doctor was a notoriously profane man, and professed no love for tbe clergy; but the bill was handed to him receipted. 'Did—did my parish"—stammered the minister. 'No. no; paid it yourself. Want the itemsT seizing a slip of paper and jotting dowrt, 'Dr. 11. to Hev. M. C , Dr. To one sermon, February 18th, $509, To one do., May 10th, S2OO. To one do.

The poor minister was wont to tell the story with great xest for years aher» ward.— Youth* Companion A ««LDIEBS »IATB, Private Fisher had remained through all his trials stout, fresh and hearty, in teresting in appearance and no gcntle«> mannered and uncomplainiug that we atl loved him. Supported on his crutches he had walked up aud down his ward for the first time since be was wounded aud seemed almost restored. That same night he turned over aud uttered au ex clamation Of pain.
