WAS ONCE YOUNG.

II is an excellent thing for all who are
engaged in giving instruction to young
people frequently to call to mind what
theyowe themselves when young. This
practice is one of the most likely to impart
patience and forbearance, and to correct
unreasonable expectations. AT one period
Of my life, when instructng two or three
young people to write, found them, as ]
thought, unusually stupid. ! happened
about this time, in looking over the con-
tents Of an old chest, to lay my hand on an
old copybook, written by me when was a
boy. The thick up-strokes, the crooked
down-strokes, the awkward jointings OF
the letters, and the blots in the book, made
me completely ashamed of myself, and !
could, at the moment, have hurried the
book into the. fire. The worse, however,
| thought of myself, the better thought
Of my backward scholars; was cured of
my unreasonable expectations, and became
in future doubly patient and forbearing. In
teaching youth, remember that you once
were, young, and in reproving their youth
fnlI errors endeavor to call to mind your
own.
sissI tell you what" said neighbor to a
sign painter, who had an apprentice rather
awkward in business, if you do not look
a little sharper after that apprentice-lad OF
yours, you will never make any thing Of
him. He has no more notion of painting
than an old horse Look at that lion that
he has just finished; why it is more like
dog than lion. He ought to be ashamed
of himself; and if | were you, ! should
very soon tell him So" "And SO would"
replied the sign painter, /" only that have
a lion. hanging up against the wall of the
workshop of my own doing when ! was
lad, and to tell you the truth, bad as his
lion is, it is great deal better than mine;
so ] must bear with him, and hope for the

TO SUSAN.
Light of my life, my hearts intense desire,
Soul of my soul, thou blossom and thou
beam;
Thou kndest day with more than summers
fire,
Thou brightest night like some celestial
dream.
The sight of thee gives sunshine to my way,
Thy music breath brings rapture TO my ear; /;
My thoughts thy thoughts, like willing slaves
obey;
Oh, thou most beautiful, oh, thou most fair!
One look Of thine is worth monarch's throne,
One smile from thee would raise the dying
head I;
One tear of thine would melt the heart Of stone,
One kiss, one kiss, would vivify the dead.
Near thee, hours like moments fleet away
Absent, they linger heavy on the view;
In life, in death, oh let me with thee stay,
Oh thou most beautiful, most good, most

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 puPaage (by which the precsptor,. by
more imperous calls on his attention, is denied time
sufficient 70 do more than to direct the students in
A.ceurse Of study, and perhaps to as a few gen
srsl questions on each author,) but it is designed to
offer the student all those facilities acquire med
cial educ alton, which are afforded by daily lec-
rurcs and full examinations, and to furnish
all such collateral aids to instruction as illnstra-
tIoxs by drawings dry and wet anatomical prep.
arations, pathological specimens, and chemical
Perimens; also, demonstrations by manual and in
strumcntal operations the obsteric phantome, and
the application of surgical apparatus and bandages.
The art Of prescribing and compromising medicines
will be practically taught; and especial care will
be taken to give the student practical acquaini
tspcs with the modern mode Of investigation and
diagnosis by ausculation and percussion, &c.
The course OF instruction is intended to equal
the hghest standard of medical education in this
country, and every incentive and facility to an ar
dent and Persevering cultivation of the principles of
the science will be afforded, so as to beget a spirit
of inquiry that will not rest satisfied with ae aequi-
ssion of the period of phpage.
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
lectursd on in the Columbian Medical College
Tha second session win commence on the second
Mandst of March and terminate the last Of Octo-
bar during which instruction will be given on the
varieus branches Of medicine by lectures and daily
cxarhinations Students may enter for one or both
sessions Terms, 800 psr annum, payable in ad-
vance.
