Female Physicians

This idea seems to be making rapid
progress through the country. In the
August number of Godey's Lady's Book,
Mrs. Sarah j. Hale, the editor, has taken
up the subject in earnest. "There are"
she writes, "a few self-evident propositions
and it would be questioning the common
sense of mankind to doubt the general
belief on those points. One is, that wo-
men are by nature better qualified than
men to take charge of the sick and suffer-
ing; second, that mothers should know
the best means of preserving the health
of their children; and third point is,
that female physicians are the proper at
tendants for their own sex in the hour of
sorrow"
In speaking ofthe exclusion of females
from the profession, she says, "To this
practice, and consequently, to the increas-
ed ignorance and helplessness of women.
as regards their own disease, and their
children's well-being, We believe is, in a
great measure, to be attributed to the in
creased and increasing constitutional i'll
health of the American people" She
notices particularly the movement in Bos-
ton, quotes from the Legislative Report
in favor of the Intritution there, and in
PRODUCES an extract from Mr.. Gregory's
'HLetter to the Ladies, in favor of Female
Physicians for their own SEX" II ought,
she says, to be circulated throhghout the
Uuion.,

Singular Preservation FROM
Lightning.

The Woodbury. Constitution relates the
following remarkable instance of recovery
from the effects of lightning, which occur
ed near Estleville, Atlantic county:
Mr. Samuel Evans with team of
mules was in the woods, and while haul
ing out a log preparatory to loading, from
under large tree, he was struck down.
with his four mules, by an electric shock.
He did not lose his consciousness, but he
was wholly unable to move hand or foot,
and his mules were in the same helpless
condition. After remaining in this help.
less state for about 5 minutes, vitality re-
turned, first in his fore6nger and thumb
on one hand, enabling him to rub them
together. Fearing that the mules might
receiver before he could get from among
them, and in their struggles injure him,
he worked his fingers and by slow degrees
regained the use of his hand, then his
arm, &C., when by great exertion he
dragged himself out of reach of the mules
heels. The mules gradually recovered
also, and he got them upon their feet
A bright red line marked his arms, also
his chest and legs. He felt sore for some
days after the occurrence. There was a
cloudless sky at that time, and no indica-
tion of lightning or rain. The tree was
completely shivered to splinters.

6-Wlliam Penn and Thomas Story trav-
cling together in Virginia, were caught in a
shower ofrain, and unceremoniously sheltered
themselves from it in Tobacco house, the
owner of which happening to be within it, ac-
costed them WITH
You have a good deal Of impudence to
trespass on my premises. You enter without
leave. Do you know who am!"
To which was answered, " No"
"Why, then, | should have you to know, |

To which Thomas Story replied" My

Gluff0n

A very eccentric man, whose appetite
has no equal, I think, in the world, is
now in Paris. His name is Thomas (the
Bear, and thus called for his visiting dali
ly several restaurants of Paris; where he
is fed with all the remains of the prece-
ding day which is not sold. A few days
ago, an American gentleman, who had
met him at Bercy, in tavern, made a bet
with one of his friends that he would
furnish the Bear, Thomas, s,sixteenpounds
of veal, salad for sixteen persons, q
loaf of bread weighing six pounds, and
ten bottles of wine. The bet was accept
ed, and the dinner swallowed by this ogre
of the nineteenth century, who on the
same day, eat for his supper fourteen
pounds of Goldfish, basket of twenty
pounds of strawberries, and six pounds
of bread. Decidedly, Thomas, the Pole,
has stomach beyond that of an ostrich.

Il would NOT wake the Past again


Sweet lady, though the ambient air
Ne'er foated sweeter strains
Than treRble on thy heart-strings now,
And hold the soul in chains,
pray thee cease that gentle lay,
And wake bolder strain;
/ would not yield to saddened thought,
Or wake the past again.
Yon moon that scars in azure blue,
High up the vault of Heaven,
Still pours its holy light on earth,
Soft as the dews Of even.
And yonder stars that gem the sky,
Still burn as brightly on
AS when they first together sang
Upon creations morn.
And earth is still as beautiful,
AS bright the summer flowers,
AS when plucked them for thy hair,
In childhood's sinless hours;
There is no change in earth or sky,
They're bright as e'er before,
Yet, lady, to saddened heart,
They seem not as fyore.
All time hath wrought weary change,
A weary change indeed,
Since love and song have ceased to charm
And hopes broken reed,
Then, lady, though the ambient air
Ne'er bore d sweeter strain,
! would not yield to thoughts like these,
Or wake the past again.

Coed ard bad Vinegar.

fla mixture of sulphuric acid and water,
(known to be such, were offered for sale as a
substitute for cider vinegar, few persons could
be induced to taste much less to purchase it
for general family purposes And yet very
large portion of the liquid called white vine-
gar is made in this way. Sometimes it is
colored to give it the appearance of the ordi-
nary cider vinegar Suphuric acid is poi
son and its effects upon the system, whenused
in the form above mentioned, are most dele
terious. 1t possesses corrosive qualities and
differs greatly from acetic acid, which when
properly diluted, as in vinegar, promotes the
digestion of crude vegetables, such as salads,
&c. Too much care cannot be taken to avoid
these impositions in the purchase of vinegar.
Many families use it at every meal, and if
composed mainly of sulphuric acid, twill de-
stroy the teeth and lay the foundation for can
Ger in the stomach The presence of sui
phuric acid may be detected in vinegar, by
adding small quantity of chloride of barium,
which will cause white precipate to be
thrown down.-Pa Farm Journal
