Layton then detailed some par- ticulars of his surgical practice which it is not necessary to repeat. • He continued, "I bound up his throat with my handkerchief, and took him neck -and heels; and threw him into the bot- tom of the boat. •Presently he came to himself a little, and sat up in the boat; and—woUld you believe it ? —made several attempts to throw himself into the water. C This will not do,' says 1; you've done mis- chief enough already by ad tting yout Weasand ! If you dare to try that. again, I will kill you with the oar.' J held it up, to threaten him; be wad' scared, and layedown as quiet as a latab. I put my foogupon his breast. 'Lie- still, now or: you'll cat4h it.' He looked piteously -at me; he could • not speak, but his eyes seemed to say, 'Have pity upon- me, Ned; don't kill me.' " Yes, ma'am; this man, who had just cut his throat, and twice arter that tried to -drown himself; was: afraid that I sould knock him on the head and kill him. Ha ! ha! I never shall forget the:work that F -- and I had with him arter I 'got him up to the house.' " The doctor came, and sewed up his throat; and hid' wife—poor crit- tur !-came to nurse him. • Bad as he was, she was mortal fond of hiin ! Ire lay there sick and unable to leave his bed for three months, and did nothing but pray to God to for- give him, for he thought the devil • would surely have him_ for cutting his own throat; and when he got about again, which is now twelve years ago, -he left -of chinking entire- -1y, and wanders about the woods with his dogs, hunting. He sel- dom speaks to any one,, and his wife's brother carries on the farm for the family. He is so shy of strangers that 'tis a wonder he came in here. The old wives are' afraid of him ; but you need not heed him—his troubles are to liiinself; he harms no one." Layton departed, and left me brooding over the sad tale which he had told in Such an absurd and jest- ing manner. It was evident frorn the account he bad given of Brian's . attempt at Suicide, that the -hapless Luntee was not wholly: answerable for his conduct—that he was a harm- less maniac: . . The next morning; at the _very same hour, Brian again made his. ap- pearance ; but instead of the rifle kuerosg his shonider, a Ittage-stone jar occupied the place, suspended by a stout leather thong. Without, say- ing a word, but with a truly berievo- Ientesmile, that flitted slowly over his stern features, and lighted them up, like a sunbeam breaking from beneath a stormy cloud, he acrvanced to the &tide, and unslinging the jar,. set it down before me, and in a low' and gruff, tint vs, no means an un- friendly voice, mid, ," Milk for the child," and vanished. How good it, was of him! How land !" I exclaimed, as I poured the wecious gift of four quarts of pure new Milk out in a deep 1 had not asked liirn—liad never said that the poor weanling wanted Milk. It was the courtesy •of tit gentleman:— of a man -of benevolence and refine- ment. . For weeks did my strange, silent friend steal in, take up the empty jar, and supply RS •place with an- other replenished with Milk. The baby. knew his step, and would hold out her _heads •to him and cry "J.jIk " and Brian would stoop 'down and kiss her, and his two great dogs liek her face. " Ilave yon- any • children, Mr, • " Yes, five ; but none like this." "2Iy little gill ia greatly indebt- ed to you for your kindness." • " She's AN -C.40(110, _Or Shr3 WOnld nOt get it.

After a long pau3e, he co -wiled, . I - with much solemn feeling in 's look and tone. • . • • " I lived a life of oily f� years, for I was respectably born at d edu- cated, and had seen 8 methin 2. of the world, perhaps more han'w s good, hefore I left home for the voods ; and from the teachin I had receiv- e 1 from kind relative end p rents I' snould have known h w to ve con- ducted myself better.
