WESTERLY, R. l., THURSDAY, APRIL 27 1854.

Some object that women have not the
" nerve" requisite for the duties of the
physician. While helpless from ignor-
ance and inexpcrience they will of course
as do men in like circumstances lack
self-possession. But knowledge is power
in women, as we'll as man, and so is
practical skill /; let her have these and
she will exhibit no want of frmness in
scenes of danger and distress. The poet
calls woman " ministering angel, when
pain and anguish wiring the brow" If
her ministrations are guided merely by
a blind sympathy, she may destroy in
stead of saving but let her have knowl-
edge and skill in the divine art of heal
ing equal to her sympathy with suffering,
and she will indeed deserve the poets
appellation. Report Of the Female Med
icai Education Soc.

husband, F" there's no satisfying womcns'
wants do what you may" and he
abruptly left the room.
How many husbands are in similar
dilemma How many houses AMI hus-
bands are rendered uncomfortable by the
constant dissatisfaction of a wife, with
present comforts and present provision ?
How many bright prospects for business
have ended in bankruptcy and ruin in
order to satisfy this secret hankerlng
after fashionable nccessaries : Could
the real cause of many failures be known,
it would be found to result from useless
expenditure at homc-expcnses to an
swer the demands of fashien-aud "what
will people think ?"
"My wife has made my fortune" said
a gentleman of great possessions, {" by
her thrift and prudence, and cheerful
ness, when was just beginning"
"And mine has lost my fortune,"
answered his companion, "by useless
extravaganza and repining when | was
doing we'll"
What world does this open to the
influence which a wife possesses over the
future prosperity of her family Let
the wife know her influence and try to
use it wisely and well.
Be satisfied to commence on q small
scale. 1t is too common for young
housekeepers to begin where their
mothers ended. Buy all that is neces-
sary to work skilfully with adorn your
house with all that will render it COM
Portable. Do not look at richer homes,
and covet their costly furniture. If
secret dissatisfaction is ready to spring
up, 60 a step further and visit the homes
of the poor suffering, behold the dark
cheerlesS apartments, insufficient cloth
ing, and absence of all the comforts and
refinements of social life, and then re-
turn to your own with joyful spirit.
You will then be prepared to meet your
husband with grateful heart, and be
ready to appreciate the toll and self
denial which he has endured in the busi-
ness world to surround you with the de-
lights of home, and you will be ready to
cooperate cheerfully with him in so
arranging your expenses, that his mind
will not be constantly harassed with
fears lest his family expenditures may
encroach upon public payments. BE
Independent !; young housekeeper
never needed greater moral courage than
she does now to resist the arrogance of
fashi,n. Do not let the AS and BIS
decide what you must have, neither let
them hold the strings of your purse.
You know best what you can and ought
to afford then decide with strict in
tegrity, according to your means. Let
not the ccnsure or the approval Of the
world ever tempt you to buy what you
hardly think you can afford. 1t matters
but little what people think, provided
you are true to yourself and family.

Misfellallcons.
Fitness Of Females for the
Medical Profession.

There are some objections and prac-
tical difficulties that arise in the minds
of many excellent people with regard to
the capabilities of ladies for the profess
sion, which it may be we'll to notice.
The medical profession, they say, is not
an appropriate sphere for woman. Most
of the patrons and promoters of this
cause are persons who would strongly
object to introducing women into an in
appropriate position. But it would
seem that if there is any appropriate
place for women it is in the quiet, retired
scenes of the sick chamber. The claim
is not that men should be driven from
the field as women have baen, but that
both should share in the duties, and each
be auxiliary to the other. Surgery and
all other professional services that men
can more properly and conveniently per-
form than women, men will retain and
all professional duties that women can
more properly and conveniently perform
than men, women will have. Public
sentiment will regulate this matter, and
no one need be alarmed.
Again it is said that woman's duties
at home will prevent her success as a
physician. But many women will have
no homes to occupy their attention.
There are in New England thirty thou
sand more females than males seven
thousand more in Boston. Many who
are married have no children; many are
left to early widowhood, or, what is worse
are obliged to support themselves and
their dronish husbands. Ifyoung women
should, previous to the age Of eighteen
or twenty, get medical education, it
would be of great practical use in their
domestic experience would add to the
qualifications for their profession, which
might be resumed as home duties dimin-
ished, and pursued for ten, twenty, or
thirty Yeas, for their own advantage
and that of society. 1t must be evident
then, that there will be no want Of
women to perform The duties of the pro-
fession, especially as one female physi-
clan to a thousand inhabitants would be
an ample supply.
Again it is objected that female ply
sicians "cannot get about " Female
nurses find no difficulty in going or being
carried where they are wanted, and per-
forming duties more laborious than those
Of the medical attendant The success
ful practice of the educated medical
women in this city and other places, is
not prevented by this difficulty. The

Lines,
ON THE DEATH OF HENRY II. BOWEN.
Asleep, where care and pain
Shall reach him never
Asleep, where burneth not
"Life's fitful fever;"
Where earth's vain dreams deceive not
The trusting human heart
Where loving spirits mingle,
Never again to part
Where He who, mid his judgments,
Remembered mercy still,
Kecpeth our parted treasures
Fast by his holy hill,
And round them pours such blessings
As we may never dream
Until our failing footsteps
Shall cross the silent stream.
o! mother, mourning in thy lonely chamber
The silence of that voice
Whose merry music, in thy hours of darkness
Could make thy heart rejoice,
Lift up thy soul and list the glorious harp-note'
Upon the farther shore;
And IL thy heart remembereth, with anguish,
He will return no more,
Bethink thee how thy day of life is fieeting-
How soon the twilight dim
Will close around thee; haste thy task to finish
For thou shalt 60 to him.

pS1~ The Palmer Journal says, GA
few years ago, when it was the custom
for large girls and larger boys to attend
district schools, and when Aaggellations
were more common in school than at the
present time, an incident took place i'll
neighboring town which is worth re-
cording as a reminiscence of schoolboy
days.
One of the largest, plumpcst, and
fairest girls in school happened to violat
one of the teachers rules. The master,
prompt, energetic fellow of forty-hve,
at once summoned her into the middle
of the floor, as usual in such cases the
business of the whole school Ceased, and
the attention of every scholar was direct
ed to the girl, who, it was expected, was
to receive severe punishment. After
interrogating the girl a few moments,
the master took from his desk a huge
ruler, such as we seldom see nowadays,
and commanded the damsel to hold out
her hand. She hesitated, when the
master, in blaze of passion thundered
out" VIII you give me your hand :"
Eyes, sir, and my heart too"
promptly replied the girl, at the same
time stretching forth her hand to the
master and eyeing him with cunning
look. A deep silercc reigned for
moment in the school room; moist
spot was seen to glisten in the masters
eye the ruler was laid upon the desk
and the blushing girl was requested to
take her seat, but to remain after the
school was dismissed!
In three weeks after the school finish
ed the master aud the girl were mar
ricd.

The cold rain beat against the windows

claimed the wife.
"Give me the music Of your own
voice before all the pianos in creation" !"
he declared complimentary, besides a
certain secret disappointment, that his
wife's thankfulness did not happily
chime with his own.
Well, we want one for our friends, y
said Esther.
Let our friends come and see aus,

husband.
" But, George, everybody has piano

Esther, emphatically.
The husband rocked violently.

he, after long pause.

lamp l have told you dozen times
how much we needed one" said Esther,
pettishly.
4" Those are very pretty lamps

her husband. "Those lamps are the
prettiest of the kind / ever saw-they
were bought in Boston"
But, George, do not think our
room is complete without an astral lamp"
said Esther, sharply. "They are so
fashionable. Why, the Morgans and

"We ought to, if We take pattern by
