GENTLEMANLY ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

GENTLEMANLY ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
Schools stuck up" walk in boys and face
the music-Fanny is after you again-hear
her discourse on "gentlemanly accomplish
ments."
Swear! Out upon such common attainment.
So do the lowest and meancst that swim in
the sinks of drunkenness and vice. There is
not a ruflian who cannot boast Of the same
accomplishment. Every reeking den OF dev:
iltry has its profcients. The most degraded
of humanity can swear NO tOund!y rs you.-
IIark! you hear it on the highway. In every
spot where tipplers cOngregate, the oath IS
part of every breath. At night it comes with
fearful dstnctness from the dram-shop: And
yet you are as proud of your foul.mOuthcd
weakness, MS though the vilest of earth could
not boast of the same.
Che,o Iobacco! A loathsome splitting ma
chine, ch! Beautiful and interesting apparn-;
tus, truly. A sclfspittng squirt-gun, to ejcc:
the fithicst compound In existence: lama
on two legs, bcspatterihg all within your
reach, without provocation even. And be-
cause you eat tobacco and sip ont the juice
with mock dignity, you are gentleman. Ho!
no! the race of fools is not yet extinct Why
you slavcring beast, it is no rare accomplish
ment to cat tobacco. You can't make your
mouth fOuer than the old vagabond who
spends Il shilling he has begged, for rum or n
pound of plug. He can act rs filthy rs you.
Can't you believe it? See him spit once
Mark the dark lines from each corner of his
mouth, and noisomc stains or his shirt
bosom. Rare accomplishment indeed for a
gentleman.

4l5is victory in August next, or there is no
truth in the signs of the times. The wings
here are well satisfied with their man, and
the democrats appear to be well pleased with
theirs. There is one advantage, among ma
ny others, that our candidate has over his OPP
ponent, and which will make in his favor,
and that is, he always meets any and all
questions boldly, and argues them fairly and
squarly; he don't "dodge" like Mr.. Johnson
is in the habit of doing, nor use halfas much
soft sawdcr with the dear gOod people.

:B" The Frankfort Commonwealth says,
the difference between old logies and fast
boys don't begin in the nipple age, but just
as they leave it, when the former take natu-
rally TO bacon and hoccake, and the latter to
toddy and segars. The consequence of the
difference is tho growth of bone, muscle, and
modesty in the one, and of big-head, gas and
impudcncc in the other.

boys" are TO be ascribcd to their mothers
milk. This is too bad; yet something like it
might have been expected. The "fast boys
have for sometime been abusing the old men
of the country: now they Islander the old
women by charging their own sins upon their
mothers.

The New York Economist expresses tho
opinion that the production of gold is even
greater in amount than the multiplication Of
paper. During the thirty days ending Fe-
bruary, 1853, the mines of Australia and Call
iiornia yielded over Sl2,OOO,OO0 month";
The average yield since per month, has been
about $l5,0OO,OO0, or an average Of $780,
100000 per annum. This indeed is IN cnor-

Cold WATER STEAM ENGINE.-Edward D.
Tippett has invented an engine of the above
kind. The Cincinnati Gazette says:
The steam is produced without boilers by
simply injecting cold water into generators.
The amount of steam required to force out
or return the piston rod is made by the intro
duction to the influence of the fire at each
moment of precisely the quantity of water
needed, thus doing away with the necessity
of boilers. Il is claimed that there is no
possibility of an explosion, that greater pow
or is obtained and less room occupied for
machinery.
The water falls into the engine, being first
raised by force pump into reservoir stu
atcd above the engine, and thence indicted
down as wanted.

THE GOsSIPPING MEDICAL MAN.

We copy the following from late num-
Der of the New Orleans Delta:
The relation which exists between the me.
deal man and his patient is Of sacred char
acter. The physician necessarily becomes
acquainted with family serrets-for he comes
in contact with men and women under cir.
cumstances that pride or vanity has little
power to conceal the truth. The heart is
laid open when the pleasures Of the world
seem to be fading away; and the physician, as
he sits by the bedside of his sinking patient,
becomes the recipient of secrets which nought
but the approach Of death would ever have
brought from tho deep recesses Of the heart.
The hgh-minded physician need not be told
that confessions made under the torture of
sickness are sacred-he knows it, and keeps
guard upon his tongue But we grieve to
say there is Il class of oId.women physicians,
in whom the love Of gossip prevails, and, in
deed, who depend upon the amount of Cos
sip they can detail, for employment in many
| families, that they violate every principle Of
honor and decency in retailing the nature of
such and such u ones complaints, and re-
porting to the next patient they visit all they
saw or heard ut their last. This is a shame
full abuse Of position, and should enttle ev-
cry medical man who practices it, to sound
cowhiding at the hands of the healthy men,
bers Of II family whose confidence is thus
shamcfully abused.
The office of the physician is one of the
noblcst and most dignifcd in the world. The
good physician is daily called upon to prac-
tcc virtues not necessarily called into action
in the pursuit of any other profession; and
no Urcatpr mistake was ever made than when
certain legislators Of this country, in obedi-
encc to the stupid cry of monopoly, threw
open the practice of medicine to every ass
who chose to assume it. The laws with re-
gard to admission of students to practice,
cannot be too stringent-they cannot be too
imperious in their demands on the score of
morality and education. Better to reject nine
ty nine out ofevery hundred candidates, than
have one pass who will of Il surety discredt
his high calling. The gossipping medical
man is mistakc-nature nor education never
designed him for a physician. lie ought to
put on the dimity and turn nurse.
