LADIES' INSTITUTE
or THE


Penn Medical University of Philadelphia
The Fail Term of this new Medical School
for Ladies, will commence on the first Mon
day in Oct'r, 1854, and continue four months.
The System Of Teaching, here pursued, is
entirely new, and is more comprehensive,
thorough, liberal and practical, than that OF
any other Medical School in the country. 1t
is based as far as possible, upon the positive
Sciences, consequently, free from all sects
and dogmas. The branches of study are di-
Vided according to their natural order of sue
cesslon, and taught in four progressive cour-
ses of four months each; there are two cour-
ses in each year, thus enabling the students
to pass successfully through all four courses
within two years. BY this arrangement the
study is rendered easy, and possessed of daily
increasing interest.
Ladies desiring thoroughly scientific Med
ical Education, or any part particularly III
teresting them, have facilities here nowhere
else to be found.

LIES POETRY.

The proudest poetry of youth
Is" Would I toere man."
The golden years that lie between.
Youth like dream would span
'Tis in its Thought, tits in It's heart
Tis even on its tongue,
But oh! the poetry of age
Is this" When ,ras younC''
Thus. in The morn Of life, our feet
Would distant pathways find;
The sun still face to face we greet,
The shadoirs fall behind,
Bat when the morn of life is DER.
And nature grows less kim,
The lengthening shadow creeps before
The sunlight falls behind,
With many a murmur slow and sad.
The stream o. lie flows on;
That which we priced not achen zoe had.
Il doubly priced Uhsn g0ns,
And mary n sad and solemn truth
Lies written on Life's page.
Between the Poetry Of Youth"
And 'P0etrp Of age'

MAKE THE Best OF EvERYTHISo.-An
important lesson to learn. and The earlier
in life it is learned the halter. is to make
The best of everything. AS the old adago
says. 'there is no use of or ying over spi,.
milk" Misfortunes that have already
happened cannot be prevented, and, there
fore. the wise man, instead OF wasting his
time in regrets, will set himself TO recover
his losses. The mistakes and iolies OF tho
past may teach US 10 be cautious for the
future. but they should not be allowed 10
paralize our energies or surrender us 10
weak repinings. A millionaire of Phila-
delphia tells the story thai a, one period
early in his career, he had go. nearly to
the verge OF bankruptcy; "bu,." says bc"I
ploughed deep keel and kept my own
COUNSEL" and by those means he soon re.
covered. Had this man given way to
despair, and 50! down TO bewal his OPP
parently impending ruin, he Nigh; now
have been old and poor. instead ola capi-
talisi in leading position. He says thai
his characteristics was that through lie.
in all circumstances, he did the best he
could whatever that was, consuming 10
time in useless regrets over bad specola-
,ions. The rule holds good beyond the
sphere OF mercan tile transactions. Dis
asler may sweep away fortunes. and the
energies of years. bur neither can be re-
covered by croaking and repining.
