RELIGION IN PROFESSIONAL LIFE.
In the vicissitudes of professional life,
we can only expect consolation through the
influence of the Gospel; and there is no
secular profession to which Christian Reli-
gion affords more aid than the practice of
Medicine. How lamentable, then, to OBJ
serve those whose educations and stations
necessarily display to them the wisdom and
goodness of the Creator, and his power over
human life, should forget their duty, while
visiting the abodes ofpain and misery, and
Witnessing the fear and anguish which at
tend the dissolution of nature. The only
cordial for the dying is the sweet hopes of
future bliss; and when the resources Of the
material medica fail in providing cure, the
panacea of Christianity, administered by
the attending physician, relieves the heart
of the patient from depression, and may
probably in many instances save his soul
from perdition.
The life of a physician is one of unceas-
ing toll, selEdenial, and solicitudc. The
Lawyer has his intervals for recreation be-
tween courts-the Divine recruits his en-
erges between each SabBath-the Soldier
forgets his summer campaign in his winter
quarters; but no such relaxation or rest is
known to the Physician. His days and
his nights are alike subject to the calls of
the sick; and even in the worship of his
God he is frequently disturbed-while all
other professions and trades enjoy the full
benefits which are given in the devotions
of the holy Sabbath. His associations, too,
can only be imagined-never felt by 9th
ers.--He is always called to afford relief to
The distressed: Always with the sick and
dying-hearing their groans and witnessing
lhe progress of the disease.
II is possible for patient to reward the
plechanical part of the physicians atten-
dance; but no compensation can possibly
be an equivalent to his mental solicitude
while endeavoring to snatch him from the
threatening grasp of Death. He has saved
The Patient, through Divine assistance, from

Sam Sticks Estimate Of Marriage
They said marrying was fun-pooty fun,
to be sure. When | was single man the
world wagged along well enough. 1t was
iist like an omnibus. was a passenger,
paid my levy, and hadn't nothing more to
do with it than 10 sit down, and not care a
button for any thing. S'possing the omni-
bus got upset-well, walk off, and leaves
the man to pick up the pieces. But then,
| takes a wife, and be hanged to me. It's
very well for while, but afterwards its pla-
guy like owning an upset omnibus. What
did get by it! How much fun? Why,
a iewing old woman and three squallers.
Mighty different from courting. Instead Of
eyes, my duck" "No, my DEAR" "As
you please, honey" and "When you like,
lovely" like what it was in courting times,
it's rig Ter row. Sour looks and cold poa-
toes, children and taple clothes badly off for
soap, always darning and mending, and
nothing ever darned or mended. If it
wos'nt that i am particularly sober, I'd be
inclined to drink. My house amt my own
my money amt my own-I belong to
four people besides myself, the old woman
and three children-rm partnership con-
cern, and so many has got their fingers in
the till that bust up-I'll break, and sign
over the stock in trade to you.

POIaIEBYo
From THE MoUNTAINEER
THE UNLAWFUL TENDER

~ THE UNLAWFUL TENDER.
The Sheriff conned over small dirty book,
Which he used as portable docket;
And then, with a stern and unmerciiul look
He drew CA. sA. from his pocket.
He told the Dayearer to plank down the dust
And as soon as the sheriff could say it,
The debtor acknowledged the claim to be just,
And declared he was willing to pay it.
A bundle of BANK NOTES he drew from his vest,
And he counted them down on the tablet
He was willing to pay, as he frankly confessd,
And not only willing, but able.
The sum was made up, Ct wOs nArL MONEY tooO
When the Sheriff made this ipse diTet, ...
"With BANK NOTES I'll NEVER have NOTHING todo
"No how any body can fix ii"
Then loud grew the speeches, and angry the tones,
(The Sheriff insisting on specie,)
Which threatcn'd to end in the breaking of bones,
For they wrange and janglc "Like Stlcte"
The qender' was not what the i1t0 would require,
So the Sheriff pronounced it unlawful,
And he that denied it, he said, was a liar,
With an oath most prodgiously awful.
The plaintiff was sent for;-But he couldn't take
The notes. since the Banks had suspended;
He would look to the Sheriff, he said with shake
OF the head, as the steps he descended.
The defendent ,vas out ofhis county, aud had
Nothing there, but his body and paper
The latter uncurent, the former was mad,
And the Sheriff holE-drunk on o capcr.
So that was the time: 'let the law take its course,
Said the Sheriff, (who wished to be at him.
And he swore he'd take him, as it would be worse
To follow him with testdtum.
The money was go0di-'twas the best Of ITS KIND
Said the Sheriff, but he "wouldntha-ve it,"
And worst of it was, the defendent could find,
None able or willing toshave it.
The NOTES were refused-&I the Sheriff grew warm
For his dander had palpably risen,
He gave the defendant a jerk by the arm,
And swore he would take him TO prison.
To Jail then he took him, (the contest was rough,
The people were stupid with wonder;
To see him locked up, having BANK NOTES ENOUGH
And they marvell'd at Banking like thunder

Drinking Song.

Drink, friends, drink deep--.he noon is high;
Drink, and forget your care
The sultry summer suns are nigh
Drink, in your strength repair:
The deer, that from the hunter flies,
The warrior, red with slaughter,
The camel, meath the burning skies,
Quah deep the cry Ofwatcr!
Our father, Sun, the examples gives,
Our mother Earth, also
He, jocund, drinks above the clouds,
She blushing drinks below
Pledge high, pledge long, the friends you love,
To absent wife and daughter,
OF blooming maid who rules your heart,
Drink deep-but only IOater!

Necessity cfprayer-Itis great and in
dispensable obligation for alrmen to pray.
The virtuous must invoke the mercies of
heaven, and obtain, by prayer, the grace of
perseverance. The sinner must impI0re,
by prayer, the pardon of his offended Ma
ker. The young must send up their pray
er, that they may escape the seductions of
the world, and remain unsullied in the midst
of crime, and firm in the midst of tempta-
tons. The old must sigh to heaven for
pardon for the sins committed in the season
of youth, that their death may be peaceful
and happy.

serVauonS maze with MS own eyes, was
concerning soldierlike plan for its surprise.
On the night of the 10th of July, by the
twinkling light of the stars that broke over
and through the clouds, two coIomns of
soldiers might have been seen under the
brow of the eminence in the rear of the fort.
They were stern men, the silent, thought
ful men of New England The eagle-eyed
Wayne was at their head, and his heart
beat like that of lion. The regiments of
Febiger and Meigs, with the youthful Ma
jor Hull's detachment formed the right col
umn; Buffers regiment, with the two COM
panes under MAJOR Murphy, formed the
left. The van ofthe right was formed of
one hundred and fifty volunteers at whose
head stood the brave Fleury, one hundred
volunteers under Stewart composed the van
on the left-and still further advanced, the
noblest post of all, stood two 'fOrlorn hopes,
of twenty men each-one commanded by
Lieut.. Gibbins, and the other by Lieut..
Knox. Wayne stepped from man to man
through the vanguards--saw them take
their fints from their pieces and fix the
death bayonet. At twenty minutes pas
eleven, the two columns moved to the
bloody work before them, one going to the
left and the other to the right to make theil
attack on opposite sides.
The inhabitants on the eastern side o
the river heard sharp crashing as the for
lorn hope Of either side broke into the dou
BILE row of abatts the muskets Of the senti
nels flashed suddenly amidst the darkness
and in moment the fortress vomited on
flame and thunder as if volcano had igni
ted, and was tossing It's white lava upwards
The cry of battle not to be mistaken, shrill
wild and fearful, broke upon the dull ca
of night. But all was in vain for the for
tress. Under the showers of grape, an
full in the red eye of battle, the two gloomy
still unwavering columns moved on, and tn
two vanguards met in the centre of tn
works. The British made an instant SUI
render to avoid the extermination which a
waited the deploy of the columns upon tn
entertainments. Sixty-three British sol
diers lay dead at their guns; five hundre
and forty three were made prisoners; an
the spoils were 2 standards, 2 flags, Is pie
ces of ordinance, and other material of wal
OF the sons of New England, ninety eigf
were killed or wounded. OF Lieut.. Gil
! bins forlorn hope, seventeen were no more
OF Lieut.. Knox's about the same numbe
were slain.
These spots, where the life-blood of tn
free has been poured out like water, an
where the traces of the revolutionary ditc
and mound still remain, are affairs sacre
r to the high recollectons of freedom. Gree
be the turf over these departed patriots
The bold bluff of Stony Point is class
ground. Hther in future time shall tn
poet and the sentimentals come to pay the
, tribute of affection and honor where
tour fathers knelt
e In prayer, and battled for a world"
