Americans in Oregon--ye pioneers OF
the iarihest West-casl your minds. eyes,
for one moment, into the future. Behold
the waters of thc>Plalte and those of the
Lewis made navigable-a Railroad of a
few miles connecting the head branches
of these streams, thus, by the mighty
power of steam, uniting the two portions
of this great continent.
Imagine the woods, which now echo
only the yell Of the Indian, giving place
to farms, harmonious with the whistle OF
the plough-boy, or the cheerful song of the
husbandman as he gamers his abundant
harvest.
See arising from the ruins of Astoria, a
magnificent clty-an emporium of trade
a seat of manufactures and the arts
patron for the sciences.
Behold the fclonious Blackfeet, the
frightiul Flatheads, and the indomitablt
Cumanches, casting away their bloody
tomahawks and entering, together, the
house of God, and bending their knees, ir
company with the white man, before the
throne OF our holy Redeemer
In few years all these, which are tc

Who, in the days of yore,
In combat met the foeman,
And drove them from our Shore
Who flung our banners starry field,
In trump to the breeze,
And spread broad maps of cities where,
Once waved the forest trees.
-Hurrah-

Which goaded them TO rise,
And found n mighty nation
Beneath the western skies.

As that where sets the sun;
No land so fertile, fair and free

THE OLD OAK.
BY RRN h. HiRsT.

II u u bI.
Shake, shake thy head in the wind,
And rustic and wall, Old Tree,
And men, when they think of thy glories gone
Will feel for thy fall with me.
But they never can feel for thee,
Old Oak, as Poet can;
For he hath the heart to break
And they have the heart of man
The cold and stony heart,
And the earthly soul within
That owns no God save the Idol Self
No priest, save the priests Of sin.
Now, the Poets heart is warm
And spurneth the clayey clod-
Is warm with the love of the good Of Life,
And fresh from the hand of God.
And he will say, Old Oak.
That, though SO old and grey,
Thy branches sung gleesome song
In the merry month of May
That, In the hot July,
They made pleasant shade
For the way-worn wanderer, as he strobe
Along the sweltering glade
Tha, August saw the cattle sleep
Beneath thy branches green,
Where the warbling wood-bird fed its young
In the depth of their emerald sheen.
And no will sing, Old Oak,
OF thousand things like these,
And spread thy fame on the wings Of song,
Away DER an hundred seas
And he will love thee well,
And Poets love is worth
The richest gems and the reddest gold
OF the senseess churls Of earth.
So. shake thy head in the wind.
And rustic and whistle, old tree,
To the whitening blast rs it surges by,
A note OF thy olden glee.

as usual, o. lectures On the Theory and
Practice of Medicine, on Obstetrics and
Medical Jurisprudence, on Chemistry
and Pharmacy, on Surgery, on Materia
Medita and Therapeutics, and on Special
and General Anatomy. -.,-s
The well-known advantages Of the

halls, its unrivalIed apparatus, the abun-
dant and cheap materials for the pursuit
of practical Anatomy afforded by the
city of Baltimore, and the ample re-
sources Of the valuable Museum belong
I ing TO the College, leave nothing to be
desired by those who attach themselves
10 it rs students Of the various depart
ments Of medical science.
The lessons Of the Professors Of Sur
gerry, Of the Practice Of Physic, and of
Therapeutics will be illustrated by daily
clinical instruction in the wards Of the
Baltimore Infrmary. This institution,
which is connected with the College and
in its immediate vicinity, presents at all
times a number and variety Of cases
amply sufficient to afford to students an
acquaintance with the practical apPlica-
ton of the principles Of Medicine and
Surgery. Constant opportunities occur
during the session Of Witnessing in il
imnortant surgical operations.
The Professors Of the several bran
ches, thus provided with all the neces
sary and desirable means Of aiding stu
dents of medicine in the acquisition o.
a thorough professional education, will
make every eXertion 10 promote the IN
torest OF their pupils, and TO prepare
