Love Us Religion.

The following anecdote is related in a
foreign Journal. medical student Of
Berlin lately fell deeply in love with the
daughter Of the lady at whose house he
lodged, his passion was warmly returned,
and the lovers swore eternal fidelity and
entered into promise 10 marry. But
there was an insurmountabe obstacle TO
their union, the fact Of the lady being a
protestant, Christian. and the gentleman a
Jew; and both professed themselves no
less attached to heir respective faith than
to each other. Business called the youth
to Breslau; and when he had been there
few days, he received letter from
his mistress couched in the following
terms:-.
My dear fr;end:--f'he difficulties
which have so long stood in the way Of
our marriage have at length been pu. to
rest,by the intervention Of your good an
gel;as you have so often called your faith
fnl na,--who yesterday became a
Jewess."
Scarcely had this letter been despatch
ed, when It's writer received one from her
lover, dated Breslau and to the following
effect -
Nh dear Nina: obstacle which
presented itself TO our union, in the un-
fortunate difference in our religious faiths,
M longer exists; and | shall hasten to
complete our mutual felicity; | yes.er.

How the lovers contrived to get over
this new dilemma is not recorded.

MEDICAL, DEPARTMENT.


The plan of instruction in this department Of N,
University presents peculipres, to be found in No
other school Of medicine in the Union. The h.
tufes commence on the LIST of October, and termns,
on the 4lh Of July ensuing.
Owing to the length of the session, which en-
braces period of nine months, three professors an
enabled TO perform all the duties which in other mel
ica institutions usually assigned to six; and Il,
students are seldom required to attend more than
two lectures on the same day By this arranse
ment, the students have an opportunity Of benz
well grounded in Anatomy, Physiology, and otbp,,
elementary branches Of medical science before ,h,
investigate their applications in connexion with II,
study Of the practice of Medicine and Surgery
Immediately before each lecture, the students N,
subjected to full and rigid examination on the pre
ceding lecture, or on portions of approved text
books. 1t is apparent that the plan, of which the
outlines have been briefly stated, is one which allows
the student to commence as well as to compe,s Ma
medical studies in the institution, and presents
happy combination of the advantages of the system
of instruction, by private pupiage and that of pubic
lectures.
Any person of approved moral conduct may Offer
as a candidate, and receive the degree of NJ D.
without reference to the time he has been engaged
in the study Of medicine, or Of joining the school
provided he undergoes, in satisfactory manner
the various examinations prescribed by the enac,
ments. The professors are:
Robert E. Rogers, M D., Professor of Chemis
try, Pharmacy, and Materia Medica
Henry Howard M. D., Professor of Pathology
and Practice Of Medicine, Obstetrics and Medical
Jurisprudence.
James L. Cabell, M. D., Professor Of ANATOMY,
Physiology, and Surgery.

omy.

A METEOR.

A friend on board the U. s. schooner On-ka-hy-e
has favored us with the following:
On the night of the Goth Of May, lS45, about l
O'Clock, we then being in lat I3 N. Ion. rs W.,
there appeared one Of the most brilliant meteoric
phenomena that have ever witnessed. The whole
heavens were illuminated and seemed for moment
as if about break out into one extended sheet OF
fame The meteor itself was about one-third the
size of the full moon it appeared nearly in the ze
NTH and travelled with an accelerated velocity from
NV. to Sc, performing area of about 25 de-
grees it then exploded, dividing into several frag-
ments, looking like SO many shooting stars. Be-
tween eight and minutes after the explosion, we
heard report resembling distant gun, but more
prolonged like the rolling sound Of distant thunder
should Judge that we were about 100 miles from
the spot where the explosion took place, What
sensations it would have produced in one who could
have been within mile two of it, can be but
family imagined. have no doubt that 1t was an
aerolite of the first class. The captain, officer Of
the deck and myself the only officers that had
the pleasure of witnessing this phenomenon and
both concur with me in pronouncing il to be truly
awfully grand.-NoJok Beacon.
