Be owned a small factory in Bodneytown, a Tillage on the A w England coast which hud closed :s days of progreaa about the middle of the century, but which still maintained activity enough to keep it alive. My uncle seldom attempted to interfere with my amusements, which, as It happened, generally took me out of hia s;ght and hearing, thereby, no doubt, .'mining hia tacit approval. I was a rather solitary little fellow in those days, with a liking for prowling about the fields and along the beach or paddling a craxy inft up and down the rhallow tidal streams in which the ..ochborhood abounded, and on the ii 'ants of the largest of which was built. Behind the village .v,c a long low ridge, and beyond that in turn was a rolling country, well and fairly fertile. Between the .'Are and the beach stretched lowlands vinged on. the seaward aide with salt : nrahes, and penetrated in many places y the tidal creeks of which mention ' a been made. For farming purposes vt lowlands were of little value, and at time had they many dwellers. In A t, to this day there is scarcely a liubi- rn to be found from one end of the . 1 ae Kodney-...iw-- . - - - ia;n la the other, though a little way op the slope of the ridge which bounds it ere several clusters of farmhouse. 1 found a fascination of a kind, in thia waste region, which seemed to belong hardly more to the land than to the sea ; and i. spent many happy days exploring it. Here and there, rising from the marsh, were rocky hillocks, steep-- . iied, and dotted with dwarfed trees :;:,J buahea wherever, by accident, suf-::cisoil had collected to give the : ,'l is a covering. On one of these ialands :Ary may he called for want of a bet ter term I discovered a house, old, and long untenanted, but not dilapidated. Why its builder had chosen its rite as he bad wax not to be explained, for he had lung been dead and buried ; b's vuiA remained to prove that Jikv most of hia contemporaries, had ,(ii an honest constructor. This old ...'vse enchanted my fancy. To the ust it commanded a view of the bay, a : oad expanse ol water sheltered from gales by a long cape jutting out . rom the mainland some miles to the 011th and then curving so ns to extend almost parallel with the line of the inner beach. To the west was the plain, and lieyond it the ridge. To the nurth and south was the amphibious region where marsh and dry land joined. But the great attraction of the place was nt 1 -- Notice. .. its isolation. Nobody dreamed of Invading my retreat, and there I could imagine myself monarch of all I surveyed, ruling a realm so deserted that the very loneliness of it, for which I loved it, sometimes terrified me. My uncle's death, cutting short my .lay in Bodneytown, led to my removal to the far different scenes of a small city in central Illinois, where dwelt of my father's brothers, a childless widower, lie waa an austere man, Intensely practical, and well calculated lo cure me of 1 he romantic mood I had learned to cherish, had we but come to terms of affection. Unluckily, however, we had too little in common to reach even amity. At 18 I was told the time for study was over, that the time for toil had arrived. He took me into his shop he waa a mercluint in a small way and for a year strove zealously to discover some trace of business capacity in hia assistant. Failing utterly in this, he called me before him, gravely passed hi verdict on my manifold deficiencies, and inquired whether I had any plans in mind. One of my friends a few had been acquired, perhajis by force of circumstances had entered a medical school in a neighboring city; and, on the spur of the moment, 1 elected to follow his My guunlian he held that example. post in virtue of the email estate left to me by my first jimicctor offered 110 objections, though he gave formal notice that tlie funds in his jiossession would hardly suffice to do more than curry me through the scl:r;l. Undeterred by the warning. 1 matriculated, and for two years studied faithfully, receiving a degree nt the end of the second, and thus lavoming entitled legally to experbi'cnt on humanity. As, liy virtue of strict reononi.v, there wad still some money to my credit, 1 determined to spend a year nt. a famous eastern nelionl; and I carried out the plan, only to meet one of tlir kcenealof disappointments nt the close of the jieriod, through failing to secure n coveted appo!utmriit us n hospital ini erne. Just nt this time, too, cnine news of the death of iny uncle. He liequcathed to me n letter of sound advice and a thousand dollars. Iy means of the latan-utli- er ter and disregarding the former I spent a fourth year in study, Hiim time selecting another of the great institutions. The balance left at the end of the season served to equips modest office in the city, in which Capt. IVck found me, just entering my SSIh year, with re- sources cxliausted and hopes blighted by the dreary waiting for nying patient wfio did not tome. Add to these troubles a share of anxiety nx to my health, nnd one con understand thewill-ingnea- s with which I beenme surgeon of tlie Mary Peck. Klie was almost a new ship, Maine-buil-t, Yankee-officere- d and manned by n crew representing many nations. She was of alioiit a thousand tons burden, and was freighted with a cargo of eon eiderable value. Her living quarters aft were comfortable, if not luxurious, and the cabin fare was excellent. The captain nnd his wife, the two mates and 1, xntute up the population of that part of the vessel. The Mary Peck's run to the eqnator was made in circumstance of the sort to delight both tlie skipper unil fhr pair w ho were making their first deepwater voyage. Barring a sharp gale soon after she cleared I he const, the ship encountered fine wcatlier dow n to Ihc line, with plenty of wind, but not tan much of it a very important qualification in the eyes of tlid novices. As t li days grew warmer Mrs. Peek throve amazingly, the color came buck to her . uncheeks, and her strength til we almost forgot t hut she had ltegu:' the voyage nn invalid. She herself credited old ocean with her improvement, nnd the captain was much of hn way of thinking, while my nothin of the matter was t lint the companion ship of her full, broureil liusbuiitl counted for more with the little woman than sea air nnd sunshine combined. . At nil events, however, tlie surgeon's post promised to 1m a sinecure. To the line, ns has been said, fortune showered her favors upon 11s, but no sooner was oiirprowclcnrjngtlie waters of the southern hemisphere than the gifts of tin fickle goddesa ceased.
