LESSONS FOR PHYsIcIANs.-Nearly three CEN
turtles ago, the philosopher Palsy thus remark
ed on the errors of medical men,
sDo you not think that it is a great blunder
on the part of doctors to keep an unhappy pa
tient shut up in room, the windows close, the
bed close, and forbid any one to give him air ]?
When already the poor patient cannot get
breath, by reasons of his malady except with
great deal of trouble, you cause him furthermore
to be shut up and smothe.ed. See your blum
der; first You rob him Of his breath and render
him more melancholy than he would be made
by his disease, through the foul odors which
cannot escape, which pierce his brain, and ag-
gravate his Illness and if you grant to me
that air aids the expusive virtue, and that no
animals having lungs can live without air, still
less when he is sick, wherefore say that you
blunder in forbidding air to patients, when il is
good, and not too cold. or moist or windy"

I WAIT FOR THEE.

The hearth is swept, the FIRE is bright,
The kettle sings for tea,
The cloth 10 spread, the lamps are light,
The hot cakes smoke in napkins white,
And now wal, for thee.
Come home, love honestly task is done.
The clock ticks listingly,
The blinds are ahut, the curtain down,
{ The warm chair to the fireside drawn
The boy is on my knee.
Come home, love home-his deep fond eye
Looks around him wistfully,
And when the whispering winds go by,
As if thy welcome step were nigh,
He crows exultingly.
In vain-he finds the welcome vain,
And turns his glance on mine
So earnestly, that yet again
His form unto my heart strain
That glance is so like thine.
Thy task is done--we miss thee here;
Where er thy footsteps roam,
No heart will spread such kindly cheer,
No beating heart, no listening ear,
Like these will wait the home.
Aha! along the crisp walk fast
The well-known step doth come;
The bolt is drawn, the gate is passed,
Tho babe is wild with JOY at last
A thousand welcomes home!

A fool, a barber and bald-headed man travelled

to sleep in the open air, and to avert dangr ell

him, and the fool, raising his hand to scratch
his head, exclaimed there's pretty mistake!
