With taken ringlets, IN garden playing;
Now STOPPING here and then afar offstraying,
AS flower Or butterfly his feet beguiled.
sTwss changed; one summers day I stepp'd
aside,
To let him pass; his face had manhsod'
seeming.
And that full eve Of blue was fondly beaming
On a fair maiden, whom he called 'his Bride!
Once more; twas evening, and the cheerful
fire
saws group OF yor.hfu! forms surrounding,
The room with harmless pleasantly resound'
ing;
And in the midst marked the sailing Sire
The heavens were cloudedi and | heard the
tone
OF a slow moving bell-the white haired man

The catalogue Of distinguished physi-
clans in Europe, who have been orna-
ments to the christian religion might
be easily extended, while many in our
own country, from the excellent and
pious Rush to the present moment,
have exhibited every virtue which can
enoble and adorn the christian charac-
ter.
But it is not necessary that every
physician should be jealous sectarian.
1t is better that he should he aloof from.
the petty contentious which SO often
distract both church and state. 1t is
better that he should be in degree,
call things to all men''-pursue q
straight, undertaking course, of moral
rectitude and ACTIVE nenevolence. and
in a faithful and conscientious discharge
of his professional and social duties
recollscting that "there is something
in merit, that the weight Of Atlas can
not keep down, and something in de.
merit, which the fulcrum of Archime.
des cannot raise"
''Let him." in fine, "consider the re-
spon.ibility Of his station, and the in
Auence of his example, and that while
he faithfully and respectfully fulfils his
duty to his patients, by his talents,
learning and industry; he will support
the dignity Of his own character, by
the correctness of bis conduct, and re.
commend his example, by the purity
of his manners: and may peace, repu.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.


"Homines ad Does IN nula re proprius &c.
cedunt, guam salutsm Honiaibus dando"
Cicero.
In former number upon the medi-
cal cha racter, we noticed some Of those
causes, which retard the progress of
medical science, and tend, in some de-.
gree, 20 lessen the dignity and value Of
the profession. We had occasion to
mention, with regret, those of educa.
ton, who direct their attention to oth-
or objects, and ehsreby diminish the
trust that would be reposed in them by
the public, chose who are constantly
trumpeting their own fame. reminding
one of the marvellous adventures of
Stnd6Gd, when he reconnted to tho
people the extent of his treasure and
those, also, who snnually present them-
selves totally unprepared for their i'm.
porsant trust, and without talents, edu-
cation, or character; undertake to adj
minister for disease, when the Ian.
guage of every patient towards them
must be, .. Physician, heal thyseif."
1t 10 a deplcrable fact, that many en-.
ter upon the study of Medicine, whose
superficial education will constantly
be subject of regret to them and the
public for years to come, They can
scarcely De said TO possess knowledge
of those branches absolutely essential
to the prosecution OF the learned pro-
LESSONS. They are too often ignorant
Of languages, of writing, arithmetic,
geography, natural history, add natural
philosophy, not to cay poetry and paint
ing aud other branches of polite lite
rature, which open such extensive and
happy s0srsss Of useful knowledge.

SIR-As some notice has occasional

expressed on the 81 bject, the following
circumstances may not be unaccepta-
BILE " those vino feel an interest In 1t:
Not long since, a leaf, containing four
pages Of this book, was enclosed to
Major General Macomb, chief engi-
peer, by Col. Edwards, Of Detroit, with
a request, that il might be sent, with
the letter that accompanied it, to DIR.
Samuel l.. Mitchell, at New York.
Previously to dong SO it was submitted
to the examination of tho professors OF
the college in Georgetown; IS these
gentlemen are versed In ecclesiastical,
as well az in mcsI othes branches OF
literary science. little difficulty was
had in determining both the character
of the book and the language in which
il is written. The following letter
from Mr.. Grace affords this informa.
ton:
From the limited specimen furnish
ed, just opinion of the contents of the
whole volume cannot be formed. 1t
may, however, be inferred. that it is
chiefly. if not altogether, on ecclesias
teal subjects and is. probably, the
production of Jesuit missionary, con.
esrned in the exploring of that section
of the Gountry, and therefore other
matters, connected with its history,
may be contained in it. To ascertain
this, Col Edwards has been requested
TO forward the book, through him, that
a translation may be made, of SO much,
at least, as will discover any impor-
tancs that may attach to it,
