JUST IN TiME.-A young physician having
tried in yainto GIT into practice az last tii upon
the following expedicnt To set the ball 10 rolling
He sprang upon his horse once day, and drove
at full speed through the village. Alter The alb
ssnce OF an hour he would return, aud carry with
him some Of his MISUNDERSTANDING il he
could impress his neighbors with the opinion that
! he had practice, they would begin TO place con-
| tidence in his ability. 4 wag, who more than
suspected the deceit which he was practising
determined 10 know The truth. lie accordingly
kept his horse in readiness, and the next time
that the doctor gallopped BY his door, sprsng on
his steed and placed himself on the young gem
tleman's trail. The doctor saw the man follow
ing at his heels, but did not, at first. evince any
uneasiness. At length. however be thought ],
advisable TO turn down a narrow laae. The
pursner followed on like an e, genius, but the
doctor was not discouraged, as another road lay a
short distance ahead Of him, down which he
turned. The other kept close at his heels, aud
the doctor grew impatient TO return home. There
was no house BY the way, at which he could
afford any pretext for stepping. In the mean
time his saddIe-bags were with him. and he was
otherwise equipped for business, so that he could
not return, in the face Of his neighbor, without
exposing the secrets Of the trade in the most pail
pablc manner. Every bound OF his steed carried
! him farther from his home; and sae shades OF
night began to fall on hill and tower. Still the
sound OF horses huofs were laundering in his
rear, and he was driven to his wits end; but just
as he turned the angle OF a wood. he leard low
moan. A man lay PROSTATE near thelence of a
meadow, aud blood gnsh-d from fearful wound
in his arm He had cut AN artery with his
scythe, and was in danger Of immediate dissolu-
ton. The young doctor sprang from his horse
and stanched the wound. Bandages were ap-
piled and his life was saved. The pursuer had
also thrown himself from his horse, and as the
physician tied The last bandage, he looked up in
MS face aud said-''How lucky, neighbor, that
vas able to arrive just in time"
The wondering spectator was silent with awe,
and after assisting the wounded man home, hr
told such miraculous tale to the wondering vii
layers, as secured to the young physician a repu-
'ation not only for skill! but also for supernat,l-
raj prtscience. Thus did the merest accident
contribute more to his advancement than years Of
studous toll could have done; and the imperi-
nrn, curiosity Of waggish neighbor opened for
him path to business which the most nfluen
,ial patronage might never have been able to
provide for him.-S. NJ. Ne,cs.

The facts set forth III the following communi-
cation from Dr.. John BuRpELL, an eminent and

Although almost every person in the community
will readily admit that the use of tea tends to de-
range and PROSTATE the nervous energies Of the
system, yet at the same time, such persons con-
tnue the use Of it.. So much has been said and
written in reference to the deleterious effects Of
tea on mortal life, that will not trouble YOU by
repeating The statements of others, but will give
you the result Of my own experience. II is law
OF the animal economy, that stimu!ans and ex-
citants invariably result in a corresponding de-
preston on absence of such stimulus or excite

jury in both cases. rI
During al extensive dental practice, have had
an opportunity of observing the condition of those

strong tea, and | have found that such persons

The following brief, but significant report, wa.
lately made in the Legislature oil Drlawarr, ,,
Mr.. Jones, OF Wilmington.
MIR. Jones, on Friday, presented The follow
ing report:
The committee 10 whom was referred The
petition Of BIO ',comen Of the city Of Wilmington
and county Of Ne,o Castle praying for the 'ab-
clifton Of siarery throughout The STATE beg
leave 10 report:
That they consider the petitioning Of ',ro-
men to our national and State Legislatures
(Which they regret TO see is becoming SO general
Ia praciic-) as derogatory from that refinement
and delicacy which should. under sii circum-
stances, accompany the female character, and as
an understandable interference in subjects thai
should more properly belong to their fathers,
husbands, or brothers.
.Your committee are also decidedly OF lht
opinion that the petitioners whose names are
affixed to the memorial under consideration
would confer more real benefit upon society, j
they hereafter confined their attention to mat.
tiers Of domestic haiare, and would BIZ more so
ctons to mend the garments Of their husbands
and children than TO patch the breaches OF IN.
laws aud Constitutions"
It might, with propiey, have been added
by that committee that these female abolition
petitioners generally not only show great mmo
desty in putting on the brooches, but act out O
character and cat Of their proper sphere, iii al
