Outside a'ndiln.
Just outside the window,"
anoughthezcold night air,
Snowflakes falling softly,
Dropping here and there.
Covering like a blanket
All i-the ground below,
Where the flowers are sleeping,
Tuckedin by, the snow.
They are dreaming sweetly,
Through the winter’s n‘gbt,
Of the summer’s morning
Coming surefand bright.

Just inside the window
Firelight ruddy gleams;
0n the walls and ceiling
Dance its merry beams.
White as outside snowflakes
Isthe little bed 3
0n the downy pillow
Rests a curly head.
Like the flowers, the child is dreaming
Of the long, bright hours of play,
Coming as the darkness melteth
lnto sunny day.

And above the sleepers,
Be they child or flower,
Our loving Father bendeth,
Watching hour by hour.
‘Tis his love which giveth
Blessings great or small;
‘1‘is his sun which shinelb,
Making day of all.
—The Churchman.

 

SPEECH-OE on If. a. manna.

Delivered before the State Medical Society at
Hartford on Wednesday, May 28th, de-
fending himself from the charges, etc.,
brought against him and the action of the
County Medical Society :—

Mr. President and Delegates, of State Medi-
cal Society.
Gammamx :— . »

I stand before you today, in the 58th year
of my age and 25th of active practice, charg—
ed with unprofessional. ungentlemanly and
unchristian conduct. I lived unblam‘ably as a‘
man 55 years and dccorously as a physician
22 years; and now when my hair is gray,
and I have, as I hope, nearly done with ac-,
tive practice, the boys in the' profession find
I am guilty of so many misdeeds. I will not
try to justify myself entirely before you, for
perhaps I have, at least evaded our Soe’s:
rules, but I wish to show you that these par-
ticular cases trumped up by my persecutors,
who are ambitious young Doctors in my
neighborhood, are false. I also wish to own
whatever I have done “hat: they have not
spied out. - Not because they havenot made
the effort, but because [they are unfortunate
in their‘associations, and only had acceptable
access to the pdhpers and charity patients,
while my professional back-sliding (if so it
pleases this honorable body to call it) has been
among a class far above their knowledge or
reach. First I desire to tell you what I have
not done, although accused ; and secondly
what I have done and am not accused. Stand-
ing then in a fair light I am willing to abide
the issue of your decision, and whatever that
may he on account of my professional de-
partures I desire my character .to remain
unblackcued. One word ofppersecutor Burke
who has been a faithful, persistent and ener-

getic tool. In my pocket I havefiafildavitsf
voluntarily offered mefrom some-“of our Cit-9,;

izeus and business men, declaring him to be
aliur and his word not to be taken under
oath. These men do not sign by almarkh ‘I
deeply regret saying this for I would not
wish to lay a straw in his way and both my
wife and myself have sent him patients. I
have not been pleased with the light, sar-
castic manner the press has treated this sub-
ject. To me it seems a case.of national,
almost universal importance,“ and “if we have
any articles in our code 30f ethics'too narrow
and binding and astringent, and obedience to
which brings ridicule to our school, let us
labor to have them repealed. It seems to me
that our code was compiled before other
schools were our equals in the knowledge of
anatomy, physiology, pathology, and organic
chemistry, and that the advanced light of
to-day makes our code seem selfishly dog-
matic to a reasonable public. I therefore
would beg a serious consideration of such
suggestion. Nor can I see that I have dene
contrary to these astringent rules, but you
may think differently of that. If I havel
am willing to bear the consequences. It
expelled it will be: by my own confessions,
not on the poorhouse affidavits which have
been maliciously drawn up, and these igno-
rant paupers have been wantenly coerced
into signing either by mark 0r otherwise.
Firstly,l am accused of “wantonly coercing"
one Mrs. Allmand into allowing a post
mortem examination on the body of her
husband. This I did not do. I was sent for
on the occasion of Mr. Allmand's sudden
death, and when I had finished my visit as
physician I- left. Drs. Hill and Burke fol-
lowed the jury of .inquest to rcsi of
deceased and recommended a post rtem
examination, and stated in reply toquestions
that the regular fee for such service was $25,
but if ordered by a corporation it Was $15.

The following day, after Mrs. A. bad. con;

sulted several friends and about decided to
have such office conducted, she sent for me.
I obeyed her summons. She asked my opin-
ion in regard to necessity and also price. I
argued that on account of deceased‘s insur-
ance I thought her safest course was to
allow an autopsy, and as Dr. Hill had
mentioned :15 dollars I would do it. for that
if she so desired. She ssid“I will do just
as you say.” I said, “Don't say that, but]
decide for yourself." She, then said “come

this eve and do it.”' I did so,'taking‘_with-

me Dr. Emily Pardee and Prof. Von Tagen,

a United States Army surgeon, both “linen;

sed physicians,” well acquainted with' ‘fthe
aids actually furnished by anatomy, physi-
ology, pathology, and organic chemistry,”
and neither of whom base their practiceon
an “exclusive dogma" to the rejection of
such aids. In doing so I violated no article
in our code of ethics.

Secondly, In regard to the charge of med-
dling and interfering. This is too slinpl'e.

Why should I interfere, if at all, in a case of'

a penniless vagabond, whom his neighbors

:fed and feared,and whom no physician would‘

care totreat, nor did I do so. This poor

German sailor boy stood around grumbling,
with his arm, and I said, “What is the mat-‘7

ter i” He replied that he had a bad hand and
Dr. Barbour had attended it, but he had four
times been to his office and could not find
him in—he, believed him to be out of town

I said, in pity, “Come into my office and I

will fix you up.” He did so, and finding his

hand quite bad from neglect, I said, "I think,

Dr. B. is in town and if you, will try once
more to find him and fail,ebme back here and
I will dress it, but I would rather have noth-
ing to do with it.” I never saw him after,
and how they wormed this he out of him is
best known to those who did it. How then
did Ibring disgrace on this honorable body ?

Thirdly. Case of Annie E. Smith, town
pauper. As in previous case I ask, why I
should interfere, if at all, in such very un-
desirable and uninfiuential cases i I am only
thankful to have them fall into other hands.
This Smith woman I have treated gratuitous-
ly about 15 years. Being sick she applied to
town for medical advice and Dr. B. was sent
to her. Dissatisfied with his treatment and
complaining of the same, Selectmen} Smith
sent me an order towait on her, About to
make an uterine examination I asked for a.

lheet, malbenaemarkeduit you have on'

drawers you needn’t: bother about a sheet.”
She was no more exposed as clad, than with
a sheet. Mimodest friend and accuser, has
forgotten when he, in anobstetrical case he at-
tended ln year'- 1878, laid back all ;the cover-
ing from, . _
listantflifll if“ ‘you would like to see "a
child come into the world you have an oppor.

tunity.'f Iii-signing these prepared me“.

. fientzaud Enid to, the lady as-‘.

I;

rfifimably knew nothing ' of 'what they

In "Ihe casemf Sabina namelaugh, I was
called into Dr. Emily Parde'e's” office to as-
sist Dr, Maosmante‘. lift Mrs. Baraciaugh from
table to sofa, which I did and nothing else,
nor did Iknow or care anything about the;
nature 9f their examinations or treatment.
In case of Mrs. Brundage I gave chloroform
while Dr. :Mosman and Dr. Emily excised a
tumor. _ Both of these womep wvere treated
by Dr. Emily for two years ‘as charity pa-
tients, and in both cases she paid Dr. Mos-
man’s, consultation fees and in both cases she
refused further treatment, deeming them un~
worthy her time and both were angry .and
glad to the falsehoods prepared by my
persecutors.

’ Now for what I have done.

I have met Dr. Mcsman, Dr. Von Tagen
and Dr. Emily Pardee in cases of surgery and
obstetrics, and in no other cases, a number of
times which Ifully regarded as admissabl'e,
mainly because I saw no article in our code
forbidding such counsel and course. My pre-
decessors, Drs. Bennett and-Lynes and others
did the same thing.‘ Dr. Bennett who has
met Dr. Sophia Penfield in such cases, and
Dr. Lynes who expressed himself as always
willing to assist Dr. Mosman in such cases,
and who repeatedly did so, much to his own
credit for humanity andliberality.

I also wish to publicly excuse Dr. Burke's
ignorance in repeatedly~ asserting this untru th,
that Drs. Mosman, Emily Pardce and Von
Tagen were not licensed physicians, they
being just as much licensed and as well sus-
tained in qualifications as the American Med-
ical code of ethics require, and even full
medical counsel with whom, were we able to
assist them, would be no breach of said code,
as I understand it.

My dear wife did graduate from a Homo—
pathic College, where she passed severe ex-
aminations in anatomy,physiology, pathology
and organic chemistry, and took an extensive
course of . dissections under an able de-
monstrator. She did so because she chose to
just as she chooses to go to the Episcopal
church. In neither religion or medicine do
I consider myself her dictator, and if I did I
expect it would’make no great change in her
course of conduct. Neither has she ever
tried to make a proselytc of me or change
my views of Allopathy and Presbyterianism.

;An interesting little story is going the
rounds of the newspapers concerning Queen
Victoria's disapproval of a certain lady who,
when presented at court, .worc her hair
"banged.” It is said that an intimation was
conveyed to the lady that her presence would
not again be required at court until she‘bad

tarried in Jerico long enough for her hair
to'grow. It is a ’very pretty story, and il-
lustrates several things,—such, for instance
as the despotism of an “effete monarchy”
and the consistency of the woman’s ruler
thereof. It is understood that the queen
objects to “banged” hair because it is not
‘good form’; that in fact, (and‘thz's argu-
ment may be accepted as the truest sort of
a ,fact,) it is scarcely a decent fashion of
wearing the hair. But the funny part of
it all is that the queen should object to it
on that ground, for it; is well known that
ladies are not received at court unless they
are in full un-dress as to neck and arms.
Court ctiquettegdemands that in spite of age

delicate health, or inclement weather, every
lady desirious of being ‘presented’ must
make her appearance in a very scanty cos.
-tum_c. But there are a good many people in
England as well as in America who still
cling to their old-fashioned prejudices in
favor of modesty of dress and carriage, and
those old.fogies would be greatly relieved
to {hear that a society had been formed
for “The Suppression of Immoral Exhi—
bitions," or, “The Prevention of Indecent
Exposure of the Person” at tile queen's
receptions. -

I BenHill’s record is rather awkward for
a gentleman who so ardently professes that
hegalways loved the Union and had no"
enmity against the men who fought for it.
While a member of the Confederate senate
he introduced a resolution declaring that
every ofilcer and soldier of the Union army
found on the soil of the Confederate States
after January 1863, should be presumed to
have entered that territory for the purpose
of inciting insurrection and abetting murder,
and upon conviction should suffer death;
and that this section should continue in
force until the proclamation of emancipa-
tion was rescinded. He also introduced a
resolution providing that every officer or
non-commissioned officer of colored troops,
if captured, should suffer death, and that all
pretending to give slaves their freedom
under the President’s proclamation, or act
of Congress, should, if . captured, suffer
death. Mr. Bill is apparently afflicted with
a short memory, and unlucky for him Old
Zack Chandler is generally on hand to refresh
it.—Palladt’um.

“A Single Gallon of \Vhiskey.”

In a recent temperance address in the
First Reformed Presbyterian church in Phil-
abelphia, Judge Pierce, in the course of his
remarks said: “Science has revealed, by
the aid of the microscope, the presence of
living and often disgusting objects in a drop
of water. The stomach revolls at the spec-
tacle, under the glass. of the creatures which
tenant'cvcry refreshing draught, however in-
visible to the naked eye. Let me tell you
phat once came out, under the process of
justice in the wait of chr and Termincr
in this city, from a single gallon of whiskey,
which to most eyes seemed innocent and
harmless enough. There came out of it
two murderers, two widows, eight orphans,
two cells in the state prison, filled With
wretched convicts for a term of years. The
whiskey, moreover, was used in conncciion
with the administration of (-ne of the or-

 

tism;.it was drunk at. the christening of
'a child, and the men who drank it fought
and two lost their lives, and the further
results were what I have said. Did not
Shakespeare say well: ‘0 'thou invisible

Friendly Advice to the South.

 

Though years have passed,ye Southern men ,

Since you yc'lur ar'ms laid down,

And then the South the willow wore.

The North the victor’s crown ;

And “‘OUEII the passions of the war , ,

Ilavc SOmewhat cooled—not quite—— '

You still should bear this fact in mind.

It was a fearful fight :

And don’t you forget it.

We welcomed back the sundcrcd States;

Greeted their foremost men

And in the halls of Congress now

They hold their seats again.

Though free as air, and clothed with power

And every civil right,

They still should bear this in mind,

They didn’t win the fight:

And don’t you forget it;
They clasp the hands of Northern men,

And millions vote away,

Too lavishly, unaccounted claims

0f pensioned braves to pay;

But none can quite forget the war,

Its cost in blood and cash,

And they who fired on Sumter‘s fort

OUght not to be too brash :

And don't you forget it.

While links of love again we weld,

In these our better days,

No fires but those of patriot flame

Should in our smithy blaze.

The storm has passed, and in the sky

Fair peace has sets its bow ;

But while the clouds oppress the air,

’Twere better to go slow:

“Just think of it,” said Jones to Brown,
A cobblcr‘s bill in hand— ’

“Three dollars for a pair of boots!
Why, in the Fatherland

They’ll sell a brace of wooden shoes
For just a fip or two.”

“Why don’t they introduce ’em here?
I'd like it, wooden shoe ?"

There was a young lady named Hannah.
She had a nose like a hammer;

She touched in a school,

An’ she rid on a mule,
But she could never play the planner.

Funny Cause of‘Detention.

Last evening, when the hour for the James
W. Baldwin to depart arrived, an Irish
matron with six children posted herself on
the gang-plank, evidently as a coign of van-
tage, and when Captain Tremper inquired
of the matron if she proposed to take passage
on the boat, she replied, “Sure I do.” “Well
then, come on board.” “I’ll not come on
boord till me sister Anne comes.” “Where‘s
your sister Anne 1’". “Beyant, at the corner
of the house.” And true enough there was
Anne taking leave of a knot of friends
in most deliberate and leisurely manner.
‘.‘Come on board or go on shore,” said the
Captain, “1 can’t wait for your sister. I
want to haul in that plank and be off."
“ ’Deed thin I’ll not slur a fut till me sis-
ter An'nc comes, and yees cant haul the
board wid me an’ 1110 childer on it.” She
was as good as her word and didn't move
amid shouts of the spectators, “Come on,
Anne, they are waiting for you!”—Kinyst« n

All About an Egg.

The rural towns of Rocky Hill and Weth.
crsfield, Ct., arc convulsed to their respec-
tive centres by a big egg controversy.
Elisha Gilbert, of the former community,

.has a hen which is equalled by few and ex—

ceeded by none of the laying element of that
section in the production of large-sized eggs.
The other day she laid, herself out of a chef
downer and produced a marval of ovatory

size and symmetry, “weighing four ounces
and five grains, while its measurement in
inches was represented by the mystic sym-

bols 8 to 7. Mr. Gilbert took the egg to
a store at Wethersfield to compare it with
another big egg owned by the proprietor,
which was far eclipsed by the Rocky Hill
production. The deceitful Storekeeper bor-
rowed Mr. Gilbert’s egg, or, we should
rather say, Mr. Gilbert's hen’s egg, for a few
days, and laying it as a votive offering on
the shrine of the local press, represented it
as his egg and procured the customary
notice, in which Wethersfield as an egg-pro-
ducing community was falsely stated to have
outdone Rocky Hill. Great has been the
scandal consequent upon the exposure of the
subterfuge.

then, when an ancient Greek wanted to bor-

either had to ask him :

Some little boys were playing in a Caving-

home from school stopped to tease the girls
by poking sticks through the fence at them.
Burton Hathaway, aged 14, ran between the
quarrelling children, drew a revolver and
killed one of the boys. A Coroner’s jury
says that the deed was “murder in cold blood.”
