Those who have considered medicine as
having God for its author, have considered
justly. Physicians and philosophers have
this in common, that they have the knowl-
edge of their Divinity forcbly impressed
on their minds. aas 4#s
The Priests once seized the province of
Medicine, and found it no difficult matter
to blend il with their other Instruments of
power. Indeed, The medical and sacredo-
tai professions have, in reality, many feat
ures of resemblance. Both bring into ac-
ton the same principle, hope and fear; and
although the objects of these two passions,
are, not the same in the hands of the priest,
as in the hands of the physician, their eff
fects had at that lime, nearly the same de-
gree of influence in promoting the views
Of both. Certain it is, that Medicine, like
superstition, exerts in The minds of men an
influence proporionate to their weakness;
and, as the former acts upon more real and
palp able objects than the latter, it is found
that the most rational and enlightened men
can never entirely resist its power. In
short, no art penetrates farther in the hui
man heart; no profession enables its vo,a-
res more easily to obtain possession OF the
most important family secrets; no species
of doctrine, except that which related TO
the agency of invisible powers affects so
nearly all those fanciful ideas in which the
human mind, when it throws off the re-
straint of reality. is apt to indulge; and
none furnishes such means to impose upon
the credulity of the public. 1t was, there
fore, natural that the priests should become
physicians, as they in fact became; and in
most savage tribes the act is still practised
by the priests, or by monntebanks.

He Indignantly trampled The yoke of the slave,
But wept for the thousands that bled.
Tho he threw back The letters that headed the strife,

Yet he prayed for the moment when freedom and life

MFDICAI;

Mr.. EDIToR-In a very scarce work,
published a few years ago in London, I'M
der the head OF Medical Science, me,
with the following remarks, which so much
pleased me at The time, that took a copy
OF them on the spot. There is SO much
good sense in what the author says, and he
shows such good taste in ,he management
of his subject that send the extract to
you for publication. In the absence of
better matter, your readers will accept of
this.
The Medical Art is one of Judgment,
not of rules. Unless the judgment have
been exercised, and malured rules are of
very little use. Thi, popularity belongs
almost exclusively to medicine. The d.
vine has the authority Of scripture for his
guide; the lawyer, the decisions and pre-
cedents of former times. What was yes
,erday true and binding in doctrine, or in
authority, is equally so to-day But the
physician has no standard to direct him in
The hour Of doubt and danger. The father
and founders Of his art, may assert, but
cannot determine for him. Upon Ills own
clearness of perception, and soundness Of
judgment. must his reputation, aud the life
Of his patient, stand or fall. The young
practitioner, who with name for curing
disease, thinks he has also an infallible rule
to guide him in his treatment, often finds
himself involved in perplexities which no
rule of art will assist hun to unravel. E. .-f
Medicine is the nobles Of all arts; bu:
it is the one the least respected, from the
ignorance Of those who practice it, and of
those who Judge rashly concerning it, In
this, as III other arts, there are good and
bad arifcers, The art is of great extent !;
life is short, opportunity easily escapes, ex-
perience is dece'tful, and judgment difficult.
Not only must the physician do his duty,
but il is requisite that the patient and those
about him do theirs. A physician ought
not to be above learning from the meanes'
persons the results of experience. 1t is
by multiplied observations collected togeth.
err that the art is constituted. ....

From the Cincinnati Gaeetfe, Sept. IS.

A rast Estate and acoaderfm Story.
The public have no doubt observed that
General Gaines, not long since, married a
second wife. 1t has not been generally
stated that he has prospect of obtaining
in her, an estate estimated at ttoclpe millions
Of doliarsH .z.....# -.
Mrs. Gaines claims to be the legitimate
daughter of the late Daniel Clark. Mr.
Clark settled in New Orleans, under the
dominion OF Spain, and became an extern
siye merchant aud speculaior, besides dis.
tingulshrd himself as a politician. lie d.
ed in 1913, and Mr. Relt, of the mercantile
firm of CLARK & Relf, Of New Orleans,
took immediate possession Of his immense
estates, under a will executed in l8II.-
From that period to the present, Mr.. Relf
has controlled, conducted aud disposed of
Mr.. Clark's estates, without accountability
to any one Mrs. Gaines claims as Mr. .
Clark's daughter. Her story is Il romantic
one. G u-u.-.lrt %. af ut
In 1902 or 1903, Mr. Clark married in
New Orleans lady, separated from her
husband. This separation had taken place
ia consequence of proofs that he had pre-
vio1s living wife-but before these proofs
were effectively obtained, Upon this ac-
count the marriage was kept private. Mrs
Games was born of this marriage, and
named Myra. Disagreement arose be-
tween Mr.. Clark and his wife which re-
suited in final separation, in the year
1907, no public acknowledgement Of the
marriage having taken place. The lady
in the persuasion that her marriage with
Clark was an illegal one, from his refusing
her public acknowledgements, intermar-
ried with gentleman of Philadelphia, who
took her to France, where they resided
many years. He is now dead, and his
widow, claiming TO have been once the wife
of Daniel Clark, Is living, and resides at
Natchiloches.
In 1913, it is alleged, that Daniel Clark
made new will, written complete, IN his
own hand writing, in which he recognized
the legitimacy OF his daughter, and devised
his immense property to her. This will, it
is charged, was obtained and secreted, If
not destroyed, by Mr. Relf =, .,ssr3 i.

has been wrested from her.
Here follows a schedule Of Mr.. Clark's
property, amounting to the sum Of SC, 1885,

Daniel Clark was native of Sligo. in
Ireland, and came TO New Orleans upon
the invitation Of bachelor uncle. who
made him his heir. He filed large space
in the politics Of the country, and gave in
formation that fully confirmed the Ken
lucky Spanish conspiracy, aud fastened

ton in it. And now as the questionable

'Ye worship ye know not what was the
language of Christ to the woman Of Sama-
ria, and with what thrilling emphasis might
it be said to thousands at the present day.
We do indeed, as nation, and many of us,
as individuals, ostensibiy worship Jehovah.
But do we worship Him as He requires,
lin spirit and in tru,h?' or it may be asked,
do we worship Him at all? Alas! how
few, how very fe" there are in whose hearts
Jehovah is exalted as the supreme and on
ly being worthy of alteration, and whose
actions, and words, and thoughts are aril-
Hngly swayed by His commands. 1t is
not, indeed, that we bow to craven or mol
ten images, but we do az emphaticaliy, and
literally worship the work of our hands,
as doth the most benighted heather the
idol which his industry has formed and be-
decked with the ornaments of his own un-
polished taste. We toll day and night, and
'bereave our souls Of good TO gain learn.
ing, fame, influence, or wealth-and for
wlat purpose? TO employ them in the service
Of Him whom we profess to worship? BY
no means--but rathar 10 please self, or gain
the worlds applause. All! how much Of
time, wealth, talent, influence, industry,
power and everything that is1sworthe having
or naming, has been laid upon the altar of
selflove, not as sacrifice, but as volun-
tary offering! but how small, and how poor
ly supplied is the incense-fire upon the
shrine of Jehovah!
To be constant in our at,edance at
church, scrupulously to regard and prac-
tice all the outward ceremonies of religion,
to give large donations for benevolent pur-
poses, 10 labor with our own hands for 9th
crs, or even, in the words of the apostle,
TO give our bodies to be burned'-al this
is not wosrhipping God, nor Offering an ac-
ceptable sacrifice.
The words Of Christ are a sufficient
proo!-God is spirit, and they that wor-
ship him, must worship him in spirit, and
in truth - and such only are the 'trne wor
shippers No one then to whom self,
wealth, renown, or a beloved friend, (the
most excnsable by far of all cteature-wor-
shp,) appears most valuable, can be class
ed among the worshippers of God. 1t is
indeed well to acquire wealth, when it can
be done Justly and honorably-to drink
largely of the streams Of knowledge, which,
as they flow from the fount Of God, initiate
US into the mysteries of His providence, !
and raise the soul above the grovelling, de-
caying things Of earth, but let Us lay them,
with everything else, willing offering upon

them all in his service. Not 10 ornament

trumpet, which is but pampering vanity,
or seeking the worlds applause, but in re-
lieving the suffering, and endeavoring to
enlighten the dark mind with the pure rays
of truth, and, in a word, to follow the ex-
ample of him who should be our model, !
