Medical RECIPE TO PREPARE GrCuM-
BERs FOR UsE.-One of our city physi-
clans, who bears the repute Of being
great wag, whilst visiting one of his ps-
tients day or two since, found his pa
TENTS wife preparing cucumbers for tue
table, whereupon the following converse
ton is said to have occurred 'I perceive
you use cucumbcrs, Madame they are a
useful vegetable, but there IS some skin
required in the preparation OF them
How should they be prepared Doctor 2
asked the LADY,
Simply enough. First, let them be
gathered in the early morning, with the
dew still fresh and glistening on their beau
tiful green. Bring them home and care
fully peel them Take a keen blade and
slice them down to the most delicate tenu-
ity'-
'Of course said the expectant pupil.
after that continued the Doctor,
sprinkle good deal of salt on. them
don't spare the pepper let the vinegar
which you pour over the slices be particu-
larly acute and searching, and having done
this, leave them for some hours to soften
and become saturated
And what then = asked the lady
'Then take up tho dish--examine the
cucumbers carefully think if anything
remains to be done--turn them over neat
ly with fork, provident not to piece
them through with the prong, and then
sWell, Sir ?
pitch them out of the window ?

What to Live for,

/ live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me;
For the task that God assigned me;
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that l can do.
live to learn their story
Who've suffered for my sake;
To emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake;
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sases,
The noble of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd history's pages,
And times great volume make.
live to hold communion
With all that is divine;
To feel there is a union
'Twixt natures heart and mine;
To profit by afiliction,
Reap truths from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction.
And fulfill each grand design.
live to hail that season
By gifted minds foretold,
When men shall live by reason
And not alone by gold;
When man to man united.
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was of old.
live for those who love me.
For those who know me true
For the heaven that smiles above me,
Ynd awaits my.spirit too;
For the cause that lacks assistance.
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that l can do.

AN INDIAN Braves IMPRESSIONS OF
SAN FRANcIsco--It will be recollected
that Bicente, Chief of the TETON Indians,
recently visited the city. He has returned
to Los Angeles, and the Southern Cali
Jorniam says that the old savage gives a
bitter account Of his visit. Instead of re-
celvlng that attention due to his position
as Chieftain on visit to the high place
of his White Father, he was treated, to
use his own language, like dog at sea,
sleeping on the deck on shore, in the
yard or in an clubhouse, at his conven-
ience ; a bone or crust of bread, or the
refuse from the table grudgingly extended
him through the window, or placed beside
him behind the house neglected, forgot
ten, despised, he wandered about in the
ncighborhood of his august protector, ac-
tually hungering for food. Instead of
showing him the sights, and seeking to
impress him with the magnitude, the mag
nifcence, the power and the glory of the
great nation Of pale faces, he was cut off
from all intercourse, thrust aside, denied
every opportunity, and returned to the
hunting grounds of his fathers, inspired
alone with the idea of the unmitiaated
meanness of his white brethren. Had it
not been, said he, that I took along with
me little bag of pinoneS, (happy thought
of the old man, } l should have starved =
1t is his opinion that San Francisco is
rather fine looking rancheria-but no
place for man without money. The old
fellow is deeply chagrined at the treatment
he received during his absence, so different
from what he was led to expect, and which
it has ever been the policy of the United
States to observe towards these people :;
no pains or expense have ever been spar
ed to impress the wild tribes with the su-
periority of our Nation and Government
and our greatest men have not disdain-
ed to mingle among the half-clad sons of
the forest in the magnificent apartments

trA correspondent of the National In
telgencer, in speaking oi the Eastern war
says:
Are You aware that the beligcren's have
been and are still drawing very large supplies
of provisions and ammunition from the United
States! The thing has been managed in a
very quiet and unostentatious manner; bu'
every powder mill in the United States has
be fur months constantly and most fully
employed and IN t articles have been So D.
whole cargoes to Europe. 70 such an eX-
tent has this been carried on, that the supply
of salpctre in this country is nearly exhaust
ed, and unIess further supplies are received
shortly, the manufacture OF powder will soon
come 10 a stand still. The Allies have taken
the largest portion ,fthase supplies, and Rus
sa has had considerable quantity; but how IT
has been introduced into that Empire, unless
through peighboring neutral ports,it is hard 't
say. SIT provisions, (bref and Pork) and
navy bread (biscuits) have gone in large quan
tiles direct to the Black Sea.

The Physician.

Here is a tribute, we'll deserved. to pro-
fession to which society owes a vast debt
"No class of men in the regular discharge
of duty incur danger more frequently than
the honest physician. There is no type of
malignant maIadies with which he fails to be
acquainted; no hospital SO crowded with con
tagion that he dares not walk freely through
it6 wards. His vocation is among the sick
and dying; he is a familiar friend of those
who are sinking under infectious disease; and
he never shrinks rom the horror o. obsprv-
ing il under all its aspects. He must do SO
with equanimity; as he inhales the poisoned
atmosphere, he must cody reflect on the
medicines which Hay mitigate the suferings
that he cannot remedy. Nay, after death
has ensued, he must search with the dissect-
Ing knife for its hidden cause, if 50 by multi
plying his own perils he may discover some
alienation tor the afiiiction of others. And
why is This! Because the physician is in
different TO DEATH Because he is steeled and
hardened against the fear of it! Because he
despises or pretends to despiss it By no
means. 1t is his especial business to value
life; TO cherish the last spark of animated
existence. And the habit of caring Tor the
lives of his fe LOw-rnen is far from leading
him to an habitual Indifference to his own
The physician shuns every danger bu, suci
as the G. Dry of his profession command him Il
| defy.'

Ger freedoms battle-ields by blood made red
Hail to thy memory,
Guardian Of liberty!
One dark October day
That lowered on Germantown,
When freedoms band, in swift array,
Flew to the fight, to be like trees hewn down,
Thy spirit hovered then
Around those noble men.
Through forests wrapt IN snow
Through showers OF rain and sleet,
To Trenton's field that band did go,
And trod the wilds with bare and bleed ing feet
Then OF each soldiers heart
Thy spirit formed part.
Ger Snratogas field,
And over Bunker Hill,
Where glittsred then the spear and shield,
Thy spirit passed, and fingers round them still
A spirit quick and warm
As Lightning in the Storm
On Cardinals shore,
And Georgil's sandy plains.
Bv Ireed1n's band once trolien DER,
Ills well to deem thy spirit still remains--
A halluwed fame of fire
Around their funeral pyre.
And where Potomac sweeps
Beside the patriots tomb,
Thy spirit watches while he sleeps,
And throws a tadeless halo DER the gloom;--
Thou spirit OF the brave,
Guard well that sacred grave!
Wherever freedom dwells,
from sea 10 mountain lone,
The music OF thy spirit swels,
And gree:s the eagle in his skyey homr;..

Thou interest freedoms hymn.
Thou takest thy flight sublime
Along the echolng years;
And through the corridors of time,
When some far generation disappears,
