are expected to to carry, an experienced
surgeon " OH board. Why shouldn't rail-
roads be made to adopt the same regula-
ton? for in our opinion the one requires
the services of a surgeon just as much, if
not more, than the other. In fact, it is
q question whether medical student
gains more knowledge of his profession by
occasionally riding ON railroad, than by
diligently walking" all the colleges.

The following beautiful allegory is
translated from the German:
Sophronlus, a wise teacher, would not
suffer even his grown up sons and daugh-
tiers to associate with those whose conduct
was not pure and upright.
g Dear Father" said the gentle Eulalia
to him, one day, when he forbade her, in
company with her brother, to visit the
gentle Lucinda, s'dear father, YOU must
think us very childish if you imagine that
we should be exposed TO danger by it"
The father took in silence dead coal
from the hearth, and reached it to his
daughter. cit will not burn you, ~
child take it,
Eulalia didso, and behold. her beautiful
white hand was soiled and blackened, and
as 1T CHANGED, her white dress also.
We cannot be too careful in handling
GOALS said Eulalia, in vexation.
Yes, truly" said her father, ''you see
my child, that Goals, even if they do not
burn, blacken: so it is with the company
of the vicious"
