THE PHYSICIAN.

The life ola physician is life Of con-
tradiction. He is slandered, abused
and deridcd;yet he is sought with avi-
dity, and freely received into the bo-
som of families. His opinion can
bIanch the cheek, or suffuse the eye
with tears ofjoy; and his lips are as
closely watched as if from them pro-
ceeded the issues Of life and death.
He lives by the woes Of others; and
while he would starvc if constant
health were the attribute Of our race,
he is endeavoring to Danish sickness
from among men, while success in his
ayocation would ruin him for ever.
He is always engaged in war against
his own bread and butter.

NAPOLEON.

In looking over volume of Chateau
brands Sketches, we find few remarks
on this great man, which are well worthy
Of perusal.
When Napoleon, for the second time,
quilted France, it was asserted that he
ought to have buried himself under the
ruins of his last battle. Lord Byron, in
his satirical ode against Napoleon, says
ITO die a prince--or lire slare,
Thy choice is most ignobly brdpe."
This, (says Extraordinarily was an incor-
rect estimate of the hope still kindling in
a soul accustomed to dominion and thirst
ing after the future. Lord Byron imagin-
ed that the dictator of kings had abdicated
his fame with his sword--that he was a
bout to die away in utter oblivion; Lord
Byron should have known that the destiny
Of Napoleon was muse, like all other
great destinies; this muse knew how to
change an abortive catastrophe into a
suddcn turn Of fortune, which would horo
revived and impaired fresh youth to its he
TO. The solitude Of Napoleon in his exile
and in his tomb has thrown another kind
of spell over his brilliant memory. Alex
ander did not die in sight of Greece he
disappeared amid the pomp of distant Ba-
bylon. Bonaparte did not close his eyes in
the presence of France; he passed away in
the gorgeous horizons of the torrid zone.
The man who had shown himself in such
powerful reality vanished like dream;
his life, which belonged to history, co-ope-
rated in the poetry ofhis death. He now
sleeps forever, like a hermit or a paria, be-
meath a willow, in a narrow valley, sur
rounded by steep rocks, at the extremity
of lonely path. The depth of the ST.
lence which presses upon him can only be
compared to the vastness of that tumult
which had surrounded him. Nations are
absent; their throng has retired. The
bird Of the tropics, harnessed to the car Of
the sun, as Button magnifcently describes
it, speeding his flight downwards from the
planet of light, rest for moment over
ashes the weight ofwhich has shaken the
equilibrium of the globe. Bonaparte cross
ed the ocean to repair to his final exile,
regardless of that beautiful sky, which de-
lighted Columbus, Vasco de Cana, and
Camoens; stretched upon the ships stern
he perceived not that unknown constella-
tons we're sparkling over his head, his
powerful glance for the first time encoun-
tered their rays. What to him were stars
which he had never seen from his bivou-
acs, and which had never shone over his
empire? Nevertheless, not one of them
has failed to fulfil its destiny; one-half Of
the armament spread its light over his era
die; the other half was reserved to illumi-
nate his tomb.

PUBIC LANDS IN LOUISIANA.

The quantity of public lands with in
the bounds of this state, is twenty mil
lions of acres, according to the returns
of the commissioners of the land office,
made to congress at its present session.
Only half this quantity has been sur
veyed, and one tenth sold, which leaves
a balance of eighteen millions stillre
naming the the property ofthe govern
ment.
These facts show a state of things
that should no longer be suffered to
exist. Out of twenty millions Of acres
of public lands, only six millions have
ever been brought into the market.
The residue, comprising the most fer
tile soil on earth is kept back by the
neglect or the parsimony Of the govern,
ment. Ten millions of the vast domain
have not even been surveyed. What
excuse can be given for acts so hostile
1 to the wrowth and pEosparity Of esA'
Horticultural interests, we are at a los:
to conjecture. A policy directly the
reverse, has been pursued in other
states. In Ohio, Michigan and Illinois,
for instance, the whole Of the public
domain has been brought into market:
and the consequence has been an enor-
nous increase of wealth and popula-
ton. An impartial administration
would dispense the same advantages
to Louisiana: but as it is, her entelprize
is restrained, and the tiilage other pro,
ductive field: circumscribed by the dila-
tory movement Of the government. It
is time to assert and urge our claims.

MORE REACTIONS IN OHIO!
The I;own of Wooster.

The Wooster township election was
held in this place ON Monday last, aud
the "Party Lines" we're strictly drawn,
by electing the entire Democratic tick
ct by an average majority Of twenty.
This town, for many years, gave a
Wing majority, but it has now drawn
the "party lines" and is redeemed from
the thraldom of Federalism. The Feds
made a desperate effort and calculated
upon success, and were not defeated
for want of exertion, as we are told
they had runners in the field, for sever
al days previous to the election; drill
ing and desciplining their forces. This
they have right to enjoy, but we
think after all, they must acknowledge
it a complete reaction. Telegraph.
Bank Whiggery loses the towns and
village. 1t is sowed up. The farmers
are always right. They are the true
friends of republican government, and
in union with the mechanical interests
nothing can stand against them.

FRIENDSHIP.

FRIENDSHIP.
How hard it is to find friend,
In whom we always can depend;
Sometimes we think this friend is got,
Till trial proves we have him not.
Many, to serve some selfish end,
Declare aud vow they are your friends;
But soon serving self is DER,
Behold, they are your friends no more.
Others will act part moro base,
Always be friendly to your face;
You turn your back--they you again
Expose to obloquy and shame.
Apparent friendship others show,
To find friend that you may knowj
Your secrets thus are pumped out,
And then are handled all about.
Those, who, of others tell you much
My council is, beware of such:
Something to tell of all they know,
As freely they will speak Of you.
A faithful friend highly prize.
A treach'rous one do dispise;
All in suspense | ask around,
Where can real friend be found.
Whenever disposed friend to trust,
Pc always sure to prove him first;
And when he's tried, then treat him kind
A faithful friend is hard to find.

The victory of endurance born.
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again,
!. The eternal years of God are hers;
But Error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshippers.
Yea, though thou lie upon the dust,
When those who helped thee, flee in fear,
Die full of hope and manly trust,
Like those who fell in battle here.
Another hand thy sword shall WELD,
Another hand the standard wave,
Till from the trumpet's mouth is pealed
The blast OF triumph Ger thy grave!

THE BATTLE FIELD.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Once this soft turf, this rivulet's sands,
Were trampled by a hurrying crowd,
And fiery hearts and armed hands
Encountered in the battle cloud.
All! never shall the land forget,
How gushed the lifeblood of her brave
Gushed, warm with hope and valor yet,
Upon the soil they fought to save.
Now all is calm and fresh and still,
Alone the chirp of fitting bird,
And talk of children on the hill,
And bell of wandering kline are heard.
No solenn host goes trailing by
The blaek.mouthed gun and staggering vain
Men start not at the battle cry,
Oh, be it never heard again!
Soon rested those who fought--but thou.
Who minglest in the harder strife
For truths which men receive not now.
Thy warfare only ends with lie.
A friendIess warfare! lingering long
Through weary day and lingering year;
A wild and many weaponed throng,
Hang on thy front and flank md rear.
Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof,
And bleuch not at thy chosen lot;
The timid good may stand aloof,
The sage may frown--yet faint thou not!
Nor heed the shaft too surely cast,
The kissing, sting,ng bolt of scoFn;
For with thy eide shall dwell, 81 Eavt,
