Under their influence, aided by the unrvalled energy
and skill OF her ship builders her commerce has
been pushed to the very confines Of the habitabe

cast themselves upon the ocean, self-reliant and

with the whole commercial world. Their b0ldness,

METROPOLITAN CHARACTER OF NEW YORK.

That our city is truly the Metropolis of
America, no one can doubt, if at all acquaint-
ed with it's resources and superiority, in its
magnificent hotels its naval marine, its fleet
Of ocean steamers, and its business enterprise
and energy Hero the highest talent and ac-
quirements find ample scope, and the largest
remuneration. Science literature, art the
drama, law, divinity, surgery, medicine, parade
their proudest names.
We have at times proposed TO introduce TO our
readers some of the names most distinguished
in these several departments, many Of whom,
besides local, have a world renown, and whose
reputation attracts thousands to be instructed,
entertained, and benefited. Among them, is
DIR. s. S. Fitch. This gentleman is one Of a
line of celebrated physicians His grandfather,
Dr. Ebenezer Fitch, renowned for his piety,
learning and skill in surgery and medicine,
was one of the surgeons TO tho Connecticut Limo
during the Revolutionary War His father
DR.. CLANCY Fitch, was the first physician that
greater part Of his life was one Of the most
successful physicians that ever practiced med.
icine in America In the great epidemic Of
Isl3-an epidemic that swept away nearly
ten per cent Of the population of the United
StaJtS--uc thukbb itS PCIicCt SWcj
and among his numerous patients never lost q
single case.
DIR. s. s. Fitch il the third Of this line, and
was born in Plattsburg. He after receiving
an excellent academical and classical educa-
ton, repaired to Philadelphia, ut an early age
to complete his medical education. There he
graduated in medicine, obtaining the highest
honors Of his class. He spent about ten years
in Philadelphia, carefully and closely pursuing
his studies, after which he visited all the States
of this Union, and many Of the Indian tribes.
10 1885 he visited Europe, and during six
years much Of his time was spent in the hos
pitfalls of London, Paris, and Italy.
In 1912, he commenced delivering his cele-
brated lectures on the causes and cure Of con-
sumption and disease; on the loss OF life, show
ing by obvious and easily understood rules, how
human life may DO extended TO ut least O hun
dred years. His lectures won all hearers by
their truthfulness, common sense, and utility.
In ls46, DR.. Fitch visited this city, and pub
lished his lectures on these subjects, which
met with wonderful success. They inspired
confidence, joy, hope, and courage, among their
readers, and circulated largely both in Europe
and in this country. These lectures have pass
cd through over twenty editions, between one
and two hundred thousand copies having al
ready been sold. To invalids, AS we'll as those
in the enjoyment Of health, they prove per-

teachings, and follow them, cannot fall victims

Then loved hands that clasped us, dying,
Wreathe our fevorod brows again.
Eyes, that failing, sought our faces,
Till the White Gate closed between;
Haunt the twilight's shadowy places,
And we fee! their gaze unseen.

Loves last clinging kiss was given
Breathe in accents sweet and sanity,
OF tho angelic life in Heaven.

Down the curtains of the west
