Dodimus. aftelraeeinffv saadryj exhibi

ry anxious to try his own hand at a cast
of practice. An opportunity was not
iong wanting; for one morning, as he
was exercising the pestle in his master s
absence, and longing for a chance of at
tempting something by his own ability) a
man entered the shop with a handkerchief
round his jaws, and' with a countenance
more rueful than: if he had, lost all his re
lations-.
Is the doctor at home ?' said he
No sir.'
Where is he?'
He's gone over to Crincumpaw.'
'To Crincum dev ! I came within

turned the student, in such a tone as to
carry with it a conviction to theihind of
the hearer, that he was ex pert in J the bii

"he begaato examine the ofiending tooth

ana aesinne mm to extend his laws as

to cut round the tooth.

he exclaimed- 'You ve cut my

Why did'nt vou keep vour head, still

'Still! you blundering toad you ; and
let you pull the wrong tooth ? The one
I wish to have drawn is on the other side
of my mouth, and in the upper iaw instead
of the under one' ; I '
'Very well : ' how should yea know
which I was cutting? You could' nt see
it, and-1 could.'
' Yes, but I could feel it though.
1
'.Feeling is nothing at all to be com-
pared to seeing,' said the scientific student
I could see what I was about while you
was only feeling.
Well, one thing I know,' persis
ed the
man, 'you ve got the wrong tooth
'Very well,' returned Dody, iust as you
say. f 11 pull any tooth . you like : I aint
at all particular about that.' "
The patient was presently seated once
more, and opening wide his jaws, desig
nated with his finger the particular tooth
he wished to have extracted.
I see it,' said the student, beginning a
gain to flourish bis horse-fleam; 'I'll get
tlie right one now, if there's any right to
it' Then cutting fively round'the tooth,
he took the extracting instrument, and be
gan to make a demonstration of applying
it, when the patient charged him anew to
be sure and get theright tooth.
Don't pat yourself in a pucker,' replied
the youth; 'don't you think I've pulled a

Dody now raised his-Ust, and was about

'Yes, vou did, said the patient. Then

'It's no 'loss to lose

though replied the student, 'and as for the
sound one, that would have been rotten
sometime, if. I had'nt pull' d it. j 1 think it
best to make a business of it when you're
about it, and have a good number pulled
at once. I hey come cheaper that way..'
'You had'nt ought to ax any thing for

such a hst of it.

'I ts no consarn of mine, returned, the
student; 'you may settle it with Dr; Whis

The patient then bound up his jaws
with the handkerchief ; Iput the two extracted-
teeth in his pocket, i to keep as a
memorial of his sufferings ; and bidding
the student good day, left the shop.
Dodimus next tried his hand at a case
of venesection. It was ii few! days after
the operation just detailed, that two fe
males, an old lady and her daughter,
came into the shop and enquired for the
doctor.
He is'nt at home,' answered the stu
dent. 'Not at home 1' said the old lady, 'I'm
amazing sorry for that, We've come
three miles this morning o'purpose to be
blooded.'
I'm the sort for that V exclaimed the
student.
'You !' said the old lady, who put on
her glasses to examine him more minute
ly 'why I would'nt trust sicha raw look
ing thing to blood our old cat.' .
Why, marmr said the daughter, 'how
you talk! I dare say the young doctor
understands blooding. -
I wonder if 1 don't !' returned , the
youth, considerably elevated by the flat
tering speech of the daughter. ' 'I've been
too long in the world not to understand a
thing or two. ' I i '
I do'nt know about that;' said the old
lady, who eyed the youth suspiciously
through her spectacles 'you look to me
to be too young and raw

'Never mind that,' returned the student.

lady, 'but I've no idear of trusting sich a

He now began to apply the ligature,
Which he drew so tight, that the girl cri-
ed but with very pain. M
Ohi' exclaimed she, how you dd grip!'
'Gripl' returned the student 'that's
nothing to what it would be, if you was
going to have your arm cut off. !
'i You'll cut it ofl with the string,' ex-
claimed the girl, writhing beneath the
ligature. . ,
'Don't you trouble yourself.' said the
youth ; I know what T ro about.. 'I hav nt
been so long in the wo"ld for nothing.'
Then desiring herto support her rm by
holding in her hand a broom-stick, one
end of which rested on the floor ; he hand
ed her mother a bowl to catch the blood,
then giving his lancet a thorough dip, he,
bVlhe merest accident in the world, hit
the vein The blood spouted violently
lorth, and taking 'the ld jady lull in the!
fate, made 'her start ' suddenly back and
drop the bowl, which: was broken' in a
hundred pieces. j -i 1
Why, marra!' exclaimed the daugh
ter, 'how you've smashed that bowl H

'But look here! said the girl, 'its stop

The fact was, that Dodimus had dra wn

of horse were spread through the tufan-
