A physician might have chdsen a more eben! field for xetion : but { was induced by the beauty of the place and the salubrity of the atmosphere to settle myself there ; besides, there was no particuler reason to take me elsewhere, therefore, I took up my abode at Offenbach, hoping that my profession wopld always enable me to procure at least bread and salt, the luxuries to which i dared to aspire On arriving in the town, my first visit was to the doctor already established there—a man vf dry, cold, calenlating disposition, who would scarcely deign to speak to me, observ- ing me close, whilst the interview lasted. It Ws easy for we to perceive that my intention of locating myself at Offenbach inspired him with any thing rather than kindly feelings towards me, and that instead of a coufrere, L had found an enemy. Of what great consequence is it to me after al!, thought I. He cannot cause the air of Ofenbach to grow colder towards me, nor ren- der the couxtry less picturesque in my eyes I was very far from seeing to what extent the Jealousy of this covetous man could be cer- ried. in a remote country place like Ufien- bach. every man who travels is looked upon with suspicion; the word stranger is a term synonymous with impostor or adventurer, I was unknown, uncommunicative, and eon- sequently t an object of suspicion. In avery ehort time I fe!t that the inhabitants «f this litle town reposed no confidence in me No dealer of any kind would furnish me with the smailest article without presenting a bili with it, and my exacted payment in advance. I had made the acquaintance cf one or two neighbors, but by degrees their i aud in time their intere Thus I could perceive o me without being able to together. g round divine the cause. Ly quitting the town, I might have put an end to so much unpler-antaes:; but wounded pride prevented me. I scorned the idea of de- parting whilst ashadow of doubt hung over my reputation. A trivial incident occurred to increase the universal feeling of distrust. The doctor having spr report that I was no physician. the ju of the canton had me summoned to appear before him, in order that {might produce my credentia’s. I showed him my diplomes, which he examined and re- turned to me with many apologies.

To crown all, my i tion left me no means of elucidating doubts; offered no opportunity «f obviating prejudices. presented no favorable nuing public esteem; and, in jon be © more and more irk- some every dzy. A sort of cordon sanitaire was drawn round me—I was separated from my kind. my fellow-men kept aloof from me. and I found myself aloof in the srorld, ign rant of the malady L was suspected of having.

The old doctor had a dog, called Oberon; a fine animal that was much beloved and caressed by ul Whether it was that his master had taught him to know we, or that my lonely habits dis- l him, the dog never met without pur- suing me. Bitter against me without a cause. he personified public opinion. The moment he observed me, his barking attracted the Uf- fenbach people to their doors, and it appeared to me that the expressson of every counte- nance ifested much delight.” Oberon’s ti he most cruel blow I had re- el me beyond description.

To me he was most detestable, insomuch that one could neither seek satisfaction from such an encmy, ner have the consolation of despis- ing him One evening as I was returning from a ram- ble in the exvirons, with my gun cver my shoulder. not much pleased with my success in the chase, and exceedingly ont of humor because of sume fresh calumnies lately cireu- lated by the of] doctor, I met, at a turn in the road. the very 7 nage who occupied my thoughts face to face; both he and I turned pale—be with fear, and I from anger. Yet would I have passed him in silence, had not Oberon darted forward, barking furiously— “Cail off your dog, sir!’ [ cried, lowering my fowling piece. I do not kuow what the doctor imagined, but quickened his pace without heeding me. The dog continued to bark louder and louder still, turning at me and showing his teeth; then, leveling my gun at him, I repeated: ~* Call off your dog, sir!” and almost at the instant the gun went off. There was a long plaintiff cry, and Oberon lay weltering in his bleod. The old doetor stood aghast. -‘itis your fault, sir,’ I said, in aitered tone ; *‘ 1 asked you to call him away;’ and turning on my heel I continued my route at a rapid pa Having reached my home I throw myself into a chair, trembling all over. I wos much agitated as if I had committed a great crime. Oberon, as he lay rolling in the dust, was continually before my eyes. L went to bed, hoping to rid myself of the painful nizht; but I slept badly, disturbed during the night by feverish restlessness. The next day [ rose earlier than usual. I tried to write—to study ; in vain I endeayored to fix my attention. I wished to go out, but shrank from passing through the town, expect- ing to mect reproachful glances on every side. No ove would make allowance for the action of ihe previous evening. and the doctor would undoubtedly make use of it to my disadvant- age. Exclusively of that, conscience whisp ered that I had stooped toa mean reveng? ; and I really felt ashamed of the deed. Toward night, however, I ventured into the streets, and it seemed to me, as I drew near the square, that all the children had disap- peared on my approach ; thereabouts, tco, it was that { had been accustomed to mect Obe- ron, but he was not to be seen now, and his absence struck me ty the heart.

Ofexbach I could not leave without a single regret; but what would become of Oberon * I determined, if it were possible, to take him with me, to expiate, so far as lay in my power, the wrong I had done him. Unce more I called upon the old doctor, who could not conceal his surprise at seeing me. - Tam going to leave Uffenbach,’’ I said to him.

The same evening 1 was on the road to Berlin, and Oberon stowed away oa the top of the coach, in possession of a bed of straw. xt morning, having alighted at the hotel where we were to breakfast, I the driver to assist the poor blind animal to got down. Then I called him; but scarcely had 1 pronounced his name when he fled across the country. We went in pursuit of him to the top of the hill, abruptly cut off to the right by a deep ravine, at the mottom of which a mill was in motion. Oberon ran in that di- rection straight to the precipice I wished to follow him; and as [ gained on him, the noise of my Se g only served to increaso his ra- pidity, and I saw him disappearing in the abyss.

Several years ago, says the New York gelist. we were crossing the Atlantic One aftcravon the passengers were sit- ting in the cabin, when we heard acry, the most fearful that ever rings through the ship. ~ Aman overboard !’’ We flew to the deck, and there saw struggling in the water, a cabin boy, whoa few moments before had gone out on the bowsprit to bring a seaman’s clothes, and had been swept off by a powerful wave. He saw it coming and tried to hold on, but his arms were too weak for a mighty billow. The wind was blowing almost a gale, the sea ran high, and the waves were roaring. As the ship flew before the blast, the boy was every instant drifting farther from us. The scene moment bafiles description. The whole shp’s company, four hundred persons, were gathered on deck; women crying. and all in consternation, that they could not instantly snatch him trom a watery grave. The voice of the captain rang through the ship, ordering the boats to be put down, and the ship to be put abort. The mate and a couple of stout sailorssprang into the boat and it was lowered away. In an instant she touched the sea, and with long and swift strokes of the oars the sea- drove her through the water. It wasa pull for life. The boy by this time had drifted perhaps a half a mile astern. We saw him afar off,a mere speck upon the waters, now altogether lost to sizht. and now tossed into view bya ve. The boat grew smaller in the distance. g and falling with the waves, it sometimes almost sunk out of view. Nerershall we for- get the anxiety with which we followed the boat. At length it seemed to approach the listant speck, a motion was made, as if the imuen were catching something in the water, and pulling iton board. And then the boat turned ts head towards the ship. As yes we could not see distinctly whether the the boy had been picked up or sunk. The boat came along side of the ship, avd was hoisted up by the side of the ship with the hearty pulls of almost allon board. We were not quite sure cf the result, till we saw the mate step upon the deck, wrapping in his strong arms a shivering, almost dead boy. Never did we experience such a feeling of rolicf as at that mowent. A murinur of approbation and joy, taut almost chocked with tears, ren through the ship; a thrill like that which runs through heaven when a human soul, shipwrecked, and = perish, is rescued and brought back to God! Every man is somewhat in the situation of that boy, struggling like a strong swimmer on the sea of life. And when one is saved from the billows which threaten to engulf him, there goes up from those on high, who are spectators of the scene, a shout like the sound of many waters.
