the two countries until the nation itself assembled
in Congress, through its representatives shall de-

announcing that, until the Congress shall determine
the relations of Mexico with the republic of the
United States they will continue to be such as the
present executive found them on taking charge OF
the administration. In conformity with these man

youth, she had trusted, in compassion
strengthened her soul, and was preparing
her spirit for the conflict her feeble nature
was soon to pass through. She grew Ian
guild and detected, as she saw the being
who, of all others upon earth, she loved
the most, thus throwing himself away, and
treating her with cold neglect. His indif-
ference prayed upon spirit naturally of the
keenest sensibility. She felt no more the
endearments of his love, nor heard no
more the many little enquiries, which fall
SO pleasantly upon fond wife's ear strong
drink had destroyed every noble and gen
erous feeling Instead of his evenings be-
ing spent in company with his wife, she
was left alone in her solitary chamber,
prey to her own bitter thoughts, whilst he
was spending the night amid the haunts
of dissipation and vice. Poor Mary knew
too well that he had ceased to love
her, or even to care for her, and she
now felt that her every tie on earth was
severed-as if all the pure and holy affec-
tons Of the heart were dead unto her But
she murmuied not, nor ever once reproach-
ed the author of her misery. She died
loving him, and her last prayer was
breathed for him, as her pure spirit flew
from pain and grief to the bosom Of its
God. Thus ended the life of this lovely
and devoted woman. A victim to the un-
kindness Of one who had sworn to protect
her. Two brief hee,ipg years closed the
scene on the broken-hearted Mary, and a
life Of misery now stands in atonement for
her husbands guilt. 1t was tissue wo-
ven with his own hands; it was, | repeat,
his own fault, and he now stands guilty in
the sight of Heaven as the murderer of his
wife. "The rose is formed for a warm and
genial sun, stormy climate must wither
and destroy it; such, too, is the flower OF
love; such woman's happiness"

WASHINGTON MEDICAL INsTI

Wv TUTE.--The undersigned, proprietors of
the Institute, having completed arrangements which
have been for sometime in progress, are now ready
to receive students.
This Institution is intended to afford instruction
to Medical students, not only by the common mode
of private pupilage, (by which the preceptor, by
more mpenous calls on his attention, is denied time
sufficient TO do more than to direct the students in
course of study, and perhaps to as a few gen.
era questions each author,) but it is designed to
offer the student all those facilities to acquire med
cial education. which are afforded by daily lec-
Tures and full examinations, and to furnish
all such collateral aids to instruction, as lustra
tioSs by drawings, dry and wet anatomical prep
arations, pathological specimens, and chemical cx-
periments; also, demonstrations by manual and in
strumental operations on the obsetrc phantome and
the application Of surgical apparatus and bandages.
The art of prescribing and compounding medicines
will be practically taught; and especial care will
be taken to give the student practical acquain-
tance with the modern mode Of investigation and
diagnosis by ausculaiion and percussion, SIC.
The course of instruction is intended to equal
the highest standard of medical education in this
country, and every incentive and facility to an ar
dent and perseverng cultivation Of the principles Of
the science will be afforded, to beget spirit
of INJURY that will not rest satisfied with the aequi.
sition Of the period of pupilage.
The annual course of instruction will embrace
two sessions. The first, from the second Monday
Of November till the last Of February, will be de-
voted wholly to full examinations on the subjects
lectured on ia the Columbian Medical College
The second session will commence on the second
Monday Of March and terminate the last of Octo-
ber: during which instruction will be given on the
various branches Of medicine by lectures and daily
examinations Students may enter for one OF both
sessions. Terms, 800 per annum, payable in adj
vance. a
