“ Whoa the Author of the following little work status, that it is not onl " founded on facts," but is indeed almost devoid c an fictitious admixture what- ever, he would not be un rstood to assert, that the events of the narrative occurred exactly in the order and connexion in which they are related, and befel the members of exactly such a family as is here des-

cribed. Had this been the case, the production would '

Such "I not its nature; and yet there is not a character, to be drawn, nor an event of any importance narrated, which is not an exact transcript of snrne character or event that occurred within the range of the Author's own knowledge. At the same time, it is hoped that the work contains nothing which, even were it divulged, oould_iu the slightest degree prove olcnsive or painful to any person to whom it may be conjectured to refer. But, while both facts and feelings are. in a very strict sense, true, the names of rsoue and places are lntentionall and entirely fictitious in ever instance but one. The name here referred to is t at of her Royal Hi nose the Princess AUGUITA, in the in- oident rested in the last‘part of chapter 8.

POLLY GRAY AND THE DOCTORS.

It was ii dark, and rainy night in June, when Deacon Gray, about ten o clock in the evening, drove his horse and wagon up to the our, on his return from market.

“ Oh dear, Mr. Griiyl" exclaimed his wife, as she met him at the door, “ I'm dreadful glad you've come; Polly’s so sick, I'm afraid she won't live till mornin‘, if something ain't done for her.”

“ Polly is always ailin r," said the deacon, deliberatoty; “ I uess it's onl some of her old aches and pains. Just to c this box of sugar in ; it has been raining on it this hour.” “ Well, do come right in, Mr. Gray, for you don't know wluit nrlcsput case she is in; I diii'en‘t leave her it minute.” " You are always scared hnlfto death," said tliedeiicon,“ ifunything oils Poll-y; but youknow she always gets over it again. Here's coffee and tea and some other notions rolled up in this bug,” handing her another bundle to carry into the house. “ Well, but Mr. Gray, don't pray stop for bundlcs or notliin’ else. You must go right over after Doctor Longley, and get him here as quick as you czin.” “ Oh, it's only Doctor Langley she wnnts,” said the deacon carelessly, “ I guess she ain't so dan erous, after ull.” “ l ow, Mr. Gru.y,jcat because Doctor Long- lcy is ii. young man till about Polly’s age, that you should make such an unfeelin' expression as. that, I think is too bml..

The deacon turned uwny without innkingln pxcply, and begun to move the harness from t is

o s

r e. “ Mr. Gray, ain’t you going after the doc-

tor!" said Mrs. Gray, with increasing impe- once.

“ I'm going to turn the horse into the pus- turc, and then I'll come in and see about it," said the deacon.

A loud groan from Polly drew Mrs Gray hastily into the house. The deacon led his horse ii unrter of a. mile to the pasture; let down thechnrs and turned him in ; put all the bars carefully up; hunted round and found a stick to drive in as a wedge to fiistcn the top

1' ; went round the burn to see that the doors were all closed; got an nrinful of dry straw and threw it into the pig-pen , called the do from his kennel, patted him on his head, on went into the house,

“ I’m afraid she's dying,” said Mrs. Grny, us the deacon entered.

“You are always scnrcd half out of our wits," said the eiicou, “ if there's nnyt in the matter. I'll come in as soon as I've too oil‘ my coat and boots and put on some dry ones. '

Mrs. Gray ran back to attend upon Polly; but before the deacon had got ready to enter the room, Mrs. Gray screamed again with the whole of hot lungs.

“ Mr. Gray, Mr. Gray, do make haste. she's in a lit."

This was the first sound that had given the deacon any uneasiness about the matter. He had been accustomed for yezirs to hear his wife worr nbout Polly,iind hail heard her predict her eath so often from very slight illness, that lioliad come to rcgzu-ti such scenes and sticli predictions with its little iittciitiou as he did the rain that puttorcd against the window. But the word fit wits souiuthing he had never heard applied in these cases before, and the sound of it gave him it strange feeling of apprehension. He had just tlirowu oil‘ his boots and put hi feet into dry slices, and held ii dry coat in his hand, when this last ii peril came to his car nnd caused him itctun ly to hasten into the r

oom.

“Poll , what's the matter now I” said the dencon, Iieginning to be somewhat agitated, as he approached the bedside.

Pol y was in violent spasms, and heeded not the inquiry. The deacon took hold of her arm, and repeated the question more earnestly and in ii tender tone. _

“ You may as well speak to the dead,” said Mrs. Gm - “ she's past hearing or speaking.”

The d n's eyes looked wild, and his face grew very long.

“ Why didn‘tyou tell me how sick she was when I first got home I" said the deacon with ii look of rebuke.

" I did tell you when you first come,” said Mrs. Gray, slittrply, “and you didn't take no notice on it.”

“Yeti didn't tell me anything about how sick she was," szii e deacon; “ you only spoke jest us on used to, when she wasn't hardly sick at a I.”

The sub'cct seemed to subside by mutual con- sent, and oth stood with their eyes fixed upon Polly, who was up urently stru ling in the fierce agonics of death. In it cw minutes, however, she came out of the spusni, breath comparatively cosy, and luy perfectly quiet. The deacon e oko to her again. She looked up with a wild cliricus look, but made no answer. “I'll for the doctor," said the deacon, “ It may a he can do something for her, though she looks to me, as though it was is gone goose with her.”

Saying this, he ut on his hat and coat and started. Huvin ' the doctor in be , it was hell an hour before he returned with Doctor Langley in his company. In the meantime Mrs. Gra had called n o d Mrs. Livermore, who lived next dam, rind they had lifted Polly up and put a clean illow up- on thc bed, and a clean cup on her end, and had been round and “ sliokcd up " the room I little, for Mrs. Livermore sold. “ DOWN‘ L003‘ Icy was such a nice man she always loved to see things look tidy where he was comin to.

other, and the doctor laid his lint and saddle-

bags on the table that stood by the window, and step ed immediately to the bedside. “ Iliss Gray, are on sick I" said the doctor,

taking the hand of t s patient.

"I I‘

i and in the course 0 two hours after the arrive ' of Doctor Stubbs. all signs oflife were gone

No answer or look from the patient gave any indication that she heard the question.

“How long has she been ill I" said the doctor. -

“ Ever since niornin',” said Mrs. Gray. “ She got up with a head-ache, jest after her father went away to market, and smart ins inside, and she's been growing worse all y.” “ And what have you given her I" said the

octor.

‘, Nothing, but arb-drink," said Mrs. Gray; “whenever she felt worse, I made her take a good deal of arb-drink, because that, you know, is always good, doctor. And besides, when it can't do no good, it would do no hurt.”

“ But what sort of drinks have you given her 1" said the doctor. “ Well, I give her most all sorts, for we had a plenty of 'em in the house," said Mrs. ray. “ give her sage, and peppermint, and spare- mint, and camincrmile, and nnyryul, and mother-wort, and balm ; you now, balm is very coolin', doctor, and sometimes she'd be very hot, and then I'd make her drink a good dose of balm.” “ Give me a candle," said the doctor. The deacon brou ht ii. candle and held it over the piitient’s hen . The doctor opened her mouth and examined it carefully for the space of a minute. He felt her pulse another minute, and looked again into her mou “ Low ulse, but heavy and tion,” said the doctor. G“ What do you think ails her!" said Mrs. :-

The doctor shook his head.

“ Do on think you can give her anything to help her 1" said the deacon, anxiousl .

'lhe doctor looked very grave, audyfixed his eyes thoughtfull on the tient for a minute, but made no re I to the eacon’s question.

“Wh didn't you send for me sooner?” at last sni the doctor, turning to Mrs. rs. .

“ Because I thought my nrb-drink would help her, and so I kept trying it all day till it ot to be dark, and then she got to be so bad, I idu’t dare to leave her till Mr. Gra got home."

“ It's a great ity," said t e doctor, turning from the bed tot e table and opening his se ddle-

ii . ‘g" Thousands and thousands of lives are lost only by delayin to send for medical advice till it is too late: t ousands that might have been saved as well as not, if only taken in season.”

“ But doctor, you don't think it's too late for Polly, do on I” said Mrs. .

" thin her case, to say the least, is ex- tremely doubtful,” said the doctor. “Her ii pearunce is very remarkable. Whatever her disease is,it has made such progress, and life is so nearly extinct, that it is impossible to tell what were the ori 'nal s toms, and conse- queutly what up lications are best to be made.”

‘ ell, now, octor," sci rs. Livermore, ‘- excuse me for speakin' ; but I'm ii good deal older than you are, and have seen a great deal of sickness in my day, and I've been in here with Polly ii. number of times to-do , and some- times this evening, nnd I'm eatis ed, doctor, there's sometliin the matter ofher insides.”

“ Undoubtedly,” said the doctor, looking vcr grave.

'lhis new hint from Mrs. Livermore seemed to give Mrs. Gray new hope, and she appealed again to the doctor. «

“ Well, new, doctor," said she, “ don't you think Mrs. Livermore has the ri ht of it?”

“ Most unquestionably. ’ sci the doctor.

“ Well, then, doctor, if you should give her something that's pretty powerful to operate inwardly, don't you thin it might help her I”

“It might, and it might not, ’ said the doc- tor : " the powers of life are so nearly exhaust- ed,Imust tell ou frnnkly,I have very little hope of being it le to rally them. There is not life enough left to indicate the disease or show the remedies that are wanted. Ap licotions now must be made entirely in the ark, and leave the effect to chance.”

At this, Mrs. Livermore took the candle and was proceeding to remove it from the room, when the doctor, erceiving her mistake, called her back. He di not mean to administer the medicine literally in a dark room, but simply in a state of darkness is d ignorance us to the nature of the disease. twas u very strange ciise; it was certain life could hold out but ii short time longer; be felt bound to do coinc- thin , and therefore proceeded _to prepare such applications and remedies as his best judgment dictated. These were administered without confidence, and their efl‘ect awaited with pain- ful solicitude. They either reduced no per- ccptible effect at all, or very ificrent from the ordinary results of such it plications.

“ I should like," said octor Lcngley to the deacon, “ to have you call in Doctor Stubbs; this is a very extraordinary case, and I should prefer that some other medical practitioner mi ht be present.”

' lie dcaoon accordingly hastened to cull Doc- tor Stubbs, ayoung man who had come into the place is short time before, tntion, but not a favorite with t deacon an his family, on account of his bein rather ii-esh
