Delights OF Visiting.

What is it TO 90 away on a visit? Well, It
is to take leave of the little velvet rocking
chair, which adjusts Itself so nicely to your
shoulders and spinal column; to cram, jam,
squeeze and otherwise compress your person
al effects into an in6nitessimal compass to be
shook, jolted and tossed, By turns in carriage,
railroad car and steamboat; TO be deafened
with the sentorian lungs of cab drivers, dray-
men and porters; to clutch your baggage as
it every face you saw was a highwayman, (or
find yourself transported with rage, at finding
it transported by steam to Greenland or Cape
HORNY 1t is to reach your friends house,
travel-stained, cold and weary, with an unbe-
coming crook In your bonnet; to be utterly
unable to get the frost out of your tongue, or
"the beam out Of your eye" and to have the
felicity of hearing some strange guest remark
to your friend as you gay an early good night,
sis it possible that's your friend, Miss Gray p.
1t is to be ushered into the "best chamber"
always north one) Of a cold January nigh; ;
to unhook your dress with stif1ened digits; to
find everything in your trunk but your night
cap; to creep between polished linen sheets,
on a concealed mattress, and listen to the
chatterng of your own teeth, until daylight
1t is to talk at O mark, twelve hours on the
stretch; to eat and drink all sorts of things
which disagree with you; to get up sham fits
Of enthusiasm at tribes; to learn to yawn cir
cumspectly behind your fnger-trs; to praise
a spoiled child when you feel like wringing its
neck; to avoid all illusions to topics unsuited
10 your pro. TEN. latitude; to have somebody
forever at your nervous elbow, trying to make
you "enjoy YOURSELF" to laugh when you want
to cry to be loquacious when you had rather
be taciturn; to have mind and body in un
yielding harness, for lingering, consecutive
weeks; and then invite your friends with a
hypocritieal smile, to play the same farce over
with you, whenever business or pleasure
calle them" to Frogtown. FANNY FERN.

breakfast; in fact nothing for two days. While
that was preparing, the children wen on with
their play. At The sound Of their voices,
and laughing the woman started. looked, rub
he'd her eyes, gave little scream. sprang
across tue room, and clasped them in her arms
crying. "Oh my God, my God, hast thou

"For moment we were alarmed. We
thought, perhaps. il was some craLed mother,
who had lost her own, and would be moth

the woman let loose her first embrace, and
looked at her, and spoke one word, and rush

forgotten mother-come back 70 her, not in
th garb to be sure, in which she was cloth
ed at parting, but with tear of JOY in her
eye, and a mothers heart in her bosom and
she was recognized by her child and her heart
was melted"
Other hearts who saw the scene were mel
ted too. Others may be who hear the story.
Others have been who have since been touch
ed with the sight of that now happy mother,
living there with her dear little children.
What blessed frui: the tree of charity has
produced. The mother is reformed and re-
stored to her children. If the fruit comes to
its full protection, may we not hope that the
father will come to seek them, and that all
will be restored TO home # happiness?

How EASY he WRIrrs-"W what ease
he writes!' exclaimed young lady. as she
laid down one OF Washington lrvng's vol
umes. Straightway we made up our mind
that the young lady did not know what she
was talking about. If she had said "How
easy it is to read his works." we might have
sympathized with her amazingly. Then, lnd-
ing that we could not make satisfactory re-
ply, without compromising our honesty, we
fell to making comparison in silence The
steamboat gides majestcally and gracefully
through the waters. but it is no easy power
that gives to the water-traveler her steady
and rapid motion. 1t is true she is tastelully
painted and gded; her cabins are pleasant,
and her PROV is decorated with specimens OF
the sculptor's art But descend with the en-
gineer TO bis fiery domain: swelter there in
the burning pit; see the heated grease, and
listen to the bursting steam; see the tremen-
dous dover Of fire and water combined, un-
til the strained and groaning boiler threatens
to burst asunder and deluge the decks with
the heated fluid. You will perceive that
ease, although a mild and pleasing damsel
has a confounded rough old father Little
dreamed the admirer of Irving how much ag-
onizng toll was required to bHget that ease
which she so much delighted in. Yet she
was not alone in her error. How many

DocToRs.-If we examine The life of the
practicing physician, we find it gilded and
shining on the surface but beneath the span
giles. how much pain and hardships! The
practicing physician is one of the martyrs of
modern society; he drinks the cup of bitter
ness and empties it to the drugs He is un-
der the weight of an immense responsibility,
and his reward is but too often injustice and
ingratitude His trials begin at the very gates
of his career. He spends his youthful years
in the exhausting investigation of Anatomy /;
he breathes the air OF putrefcaiion, and 10
daily exposed to all the peris of contagion.-
View hw in the practice of his difficult art,
which he has acquired at the risk of his life !!
lie saves or cures his palisnt;t it is The result
of chance, or elsa it is alledged that it is ma
ture, and nature alone, that cures disease, and
that the physician is only useful for form sake.
Then, consider the notifications he has to
undergo, when he sees unblushing ignorance
win the success which is denied to bis learn
ing and talents, and you will acknowledge
that the trials Of the physician are not surpas-
sed in any other business of life. There is
another evil the honorable physician has to
contend with-a hideous and devouring evil,
commenced by the world. sustained by the
world. and seemingly forever more destined
to be an infiction upon humanity. This evil
is Quackery, which takes advantage of that
deplorable instinct which actually seeks false
hood and prefers it to truth. How often do
We see the shameless and ignorant speculator
arrest the public attention, and attain fortune
while neglect, obscurity, and poverty are the
norton of the modest practioner who has EN-
braced the profession Of medicine with con-
ientiousness, and cutivates it with dignity
and houor.-Prof CGrnoehcn.
