THE HUIRON EXPOSITOR.
TOM AND 1.
To and I were only brothers. Our
p rents having died while we were quite
y ung, left us little besides their bl 'm-
an, and alone, and almost friendless, we
had struggled on together through raisl
fortune and adversity, looking forw rd
hopefully to a happy and successful a-
ttire. Our lonely place in the world had
streogthened an. early affection, and at
he time of which I write the feeling had
become a closer and. warmer sentiment
than that commonly existing between

found myself at Lake Mahopac, having, ar-
rived the day before. A short 24 hdurs
had made me feel almost like my elf
again, although my nervous system ad
by no means regained its equipo.se.
Tempted by the glassy surface of the

from Grand Island. Casting my line, I
lit my pipe and patiently waited far a
bite. The Clay was warm, and the viind
fast asleep miles away. A half hour
droned itself along, and not a bite -1 -not
even a nibble. Wonderfully lazy, land
somewhat disgusted with my luck, I
.
stretched myself out on the cushi
- seat, and began to muse on the subje
fish and fishermen.
Suddenly there came •a crashing s
from the shore of Grand Island, a
cry, and then a thud, as if some h
body had fallen. I looked in the d
tion whence the sound had come,
saw a large object, apparently the body
of a man, lying on the shingly beech,
where it seenaed to have fallen frcna a
jutting mass of rocks above. Surprised
and. alarmed, I seized the oars and pulled
to the spot where the object lay. My
fears were well grounded, for, to my
horror, I found an olcl man there, bloody
and groaning with pain. When I asked
him where he thought he was hurt, he
pointed to his head and leg. With true
"surgical instinct," I was about to rip up
the leg of his pantaloons, to see if there
were any broken bones, when he motion -
eel me to stop, and. said:
, "Don't ; please don't touch it. ake

"I'll arrange the boat first, and
it a little more comfortable," I said,

- "No, no," he cried.. "1 live up
there," pointing to the woods behiud us.
"Can't you carry me ?" I looked at hine
in amazement, for the clerk at the hotel
had told me that the islands were enin-
habited. "Some poor devil," I thought,
" who is hiding from justice, or some
one, perhaps, who, tired. of the world.
and its ways, lives here by himself.

Whichever it might be the man eern-
ed badly hurt, and in need of inam diate
attention. More than that, I felt a
strange interest in him, and felt cerious
to see where he lived and. what manner
of man he was. Despite all my care in
lifting him, he groaned with the pain.
He was heavy, and seemed to grow
heavier with every step I took u the
caeca ascent. _Guided by a sort of
I labored on. About half way up was
obliged to stop and rest. In a peevish,
querulous tone, he begged me to go on.
Once more I started. -He seemed. to be
made of lead. Happening to look quick-
ly into his face; I wee surprised to see
himsmiling. Perhapi it was for !joy at
the prospect of soon reaching home.
Still I did not like it. There was some-
thing sneering and malignant about it,
—something cunniag and devilish. At
best, his face was anything but prepos-
sessing. He was apparently about 65
years of age. His hair, originally white,
was now dirty and blood-stained. His
skin was yellow and wrinkled. 1 Little
ferrety eyes, with a greenish tinge of
color ; a long, sharp nose, and a very
large mouth containing a few scattered
teeth, worn to the gums and blackened,
completed the picture. His hands were
yellow, wrinkled eascl dirty. The finger
nails were talon -like. His whole "make
up," in fact, was by no means agreeable,
and. I began to regret that I had aided
him. And yet how could I have eefused
to help a fallow being so serio hsly in-
jured? I was suddenly roused by his
sharp voice : "Stop. Now turn to your 't(a,

1 I was horrified. beyond measure. I
could not speak. I could not beg. Now
I saw it all, but too late.
1 An old graybeard came forward, and
handed a paper to him of the scarlet cap.
Having read it carefully, he addressed
the assembly with : "Brethren, it is the
Will of our friend and fellow -sufferer, so
mercilessly butchered by this human be-
g, that bothhis legs be broken at the
highs, and he then be poisoned with
strychnia, in order- that we may try our
new antidote upon him. Nicotia,the ac-
tive principle of tobacco, as you know, is
a deadly poison, and. has heretofore
found. no place in the catalogue of useful
drugs. A physician in Germany has
lately been• using it as an effective anti-
dote in strychnia poisoning.- We. can
1 est the truth of bis statements by a
areful experiment on this young man,

tal put a silver tube, by cutting through

there for months, draining away my gas-
tric juice day by day, starving or over-

these things, not to phew you what I
have suffered, but to let you see that I
am not biased in what a am about to
Say, by any desire to paitigate this young
Man's sufferings. . The success of our
antidote experiment will, in a great
measure, depend upon a perfectly fresh ,
and quiescent state of the system.
Breaking his legs will give rise to a cer-
tain amount of nervous shock and after -
fever, and will render the experiment, if
not a failure, certaiply less satisfactory
and conclusive. Therefore I suggest
that we proceed first with the poisoning,
and break the legs after7rds.'

Victim as I was, doo ed to almost
ertain death, I could not but admire the
thoroughly scientificimanner in which the
Old Man (or dog) had spoken. The vote
of the assembly being called for, they
unanimously agreed with the last speak-
er. It was decided then to poison me
iwithstrychnine. Great God ! it was too
much ; it was too hard. I would not
'submit to it. I would spit the medicine
in their faces. I would starve to death
rather thanSatisfy the fiends. Oh! if I
had never studied medicine, or if I had

But no; it was too late—too late. My

syringe about three inches in length. As
a nozzle it had a golden needle perfor-

syringe full, and, piercing the skin of my
