The spring time Of love
Is both happy and gay
For joy sprinkles blossoms
And balm in our way;
The sky, earth, and ocean
In beauty repose,
And all the bright future
Is oouieur de rose.
The summer Of love
Is the bloom Of the heart,
When hill, grove, and valley
Their music impart;
And the pure glow Of heaven
Is seen in fond eyes,
As lakes show the rainbow
That s hung in the skies.
The autumn Of love
Is the season Of cheer
LIES mild Indian summer,
. The smile of the year;
Which comes when the golden
Ripe harvest is stored;
And yields its own blessings
Repose and reward.
The winter of love
Is the beam that we win,
While the storm scowls without,
From the sunshine within.
Loves reign is eternal,
The heart is his throne,
And he has MI seasons
OF life for his own.

"A CARD FROM DIR. YOUNCVS
Private Medical Office

TNO THE EAFFLICTED.-ln this age of nro.
l. .gress when science is developing itseli in
such manner as to appear almost m. .raculons-
everything in common place is looked upon as
not worth notice. In view OF this fact. Lr. ]
Y. 1oung, CORNER OF MONTGOMERY AND CAL
IFORNIA STREETS, UP STAIRS has concluded to
leave the beaten track hitherto pursued hv
scientific, (that OF waiting for the public to
find you out alOne,) and publish to the world
as much as may be, his knowledge OF the heal.
ing art, to let those who are in the need of as
sIstance know where they can find relief with
out fear OF being imposed upon.
In continuation of this object, DR.. ]. e.
Young would say that for the past ten wears
he has pursued the practice OF medicine in
one Of the largest cities in the United States
with the highest success. and that his standing
as physician is without reprOach. having at
one t me been lecturer at the University of
Pennsylvania, on venereal diseases &c.
Upon all of these considerations, DR.. J.C.
Young has confidence in introducing bimself
to the public, knowing that they will sustain
well earned merit.
The following are few of the many testi.
monials which have appeared in the public
journals the last few years:
From the Boston Medical Journal.1
Although we are oppose to the system of
I
still we deem it but justice to say tha, DR. J

lndefatigable votaries OF the medical science
in the United States.
From Professor Jackson:1
The subscriber, is pt trsonally acquainted
with DR.. j. G. Young, and has s,en much of
his practice, and can bear test mOhy to his

From the New York Herald.
The eminence of this distingu shed gentle.
man in his profession, and the very ext, nded
opportunities possessed by h m for the OBJ

vices invaluable to those afflicted with the
above complaint.
From the Whig and Advertiser.]
All afflicted with private complaints should,
if possible, consult DIR. J. C. Young whose
medical education is not surpassed by any
physician in the country. In his skill, honor
and integrity, all may rely with safety, whilst
most of the medical practitioners in this city
are without honesty or responsibility, their
pretensions being grounded in ignorance and
assumption.

TREES.

Here is a scrap from the Enickerbocker.
which the characteristics Of different trees al
prettily set forth:
The statelier beech and maple
To the hillside groupe withdrew,
Where the old oak. vast and rugged,
In his simpler grandeur grew:
There the pines. with solemn voices,
Speak the oracles Of fate,
And the walnuts. ike old warders,
Guard the archway of the great!
And spectral Lombard poplars
Stately as old giants stand.
Wasting with the woes Of exile
Slowly in foreign land:
While the aspen. all tremble
With a trouble never told.
Seeks the sweet acat'a. waving
With its frincing bloom Of gold;
And the elmS above the threshold
Drape the old and messy caves;
And the naples feel the sunlight
Streaming on their silver leaves.

"In Gods name," said the Judge, in aston
ishment. ''what is this the woman has sent
me?" looking with CONSERVATION upon the
monstrous shirt around and beneath him.
"What is it. say?"
1t was with much difficulty that c. could
re- train his laughter; but approaching his en-
shirted friend. and putting the huge collar
down, so that he could see his face, be gazed
with apparent wonder and observed:
What silly, stupid woman! l told her to
get just enough to make three shirts; instead
of making three she has put the whole nine
yards into one shirt. But we must hurry up
and make the best of bad bargain, for it is
high time we were at the party. You can
push it down into your trowsers, and nobody
will be the wiser" So at it the Judge went,
his friend assisting him, as yard after yard
was piled away in his unmentionables; (they
didn't wear tights in those days,) and thus he
went to Judge BIS party. if not the
finest dressed. at least the largest shirted
gentleman in the crowd. G. promising
never to elbow" on his judicial friend, and
kept his word, until he learned the Judge was
compelled to divulge it to his wife, when
c. felt at liberty to make merry over
the trick he had played on the Judge.
Some years ago, when there were slaves in
Massachusetts, and some of the best men in
the community owned them. there was
clergyman in town in Essex county, whom
we may call Mr.. Cogswell. who had an old
and favorite servant. by the name of Cuife.-
As was often the case Cuffe had as much
liberty to do as he pleased as anybody else in
the house. and probably entertained high
respect for himself.
Cufe. on the Sabbath might have been seen
in the ministers pew, looking round with a
grand air, and so far as appearance indicated
profting quite as much by his masters preach
ing as many Others about him.
Cufe noticed one Sunday morning, that
several gentlemen were taking notes Of the
sermon; and he determined to do the same
thing So, in the afternoon, he brought
sheet of paper and pen and ink. The minis
ter. happening to look down into his pew.
could hardly maintain his gravity as he saw
bis negro "spread out" to his task. with one
side Of his face nearly. touching the paper.
and his tongue thrust out of his mouth. Cutie
kept at his notes. however until the sermon
was concluded, knowing nothing. and careng
as little about the wonderment of bis master.
When the minister went home he sent for
Cuffe to come into his study.
"Well. Cutfe," said he what were you doing
in meeting this afternoon?"
Doing massa? Taking notes." was the
reply.
"You taking notes!" exclaimed the master
'Sartin, massa all the gentlemen take
notes.
well, let me see them" said Mr.. Cogs-
we'll.
Cuffe thereupon produced his sheet of paper:
and his master found it scrawled all over
with all sorts of marks and lines as though a
dozen spiders dipped in ink had marched over
it.
"Why, this is all nonsense said the minis
ter. as he looked at the notes.
"Well. massa," Cuffe replied. ~ thought so
all the time you was preaching!'

From the Home Jouanal.
The Old Man Leaned on His Friendly
C%oh

Staff.
The old man leaned on his friendly staff,
With totterng step and slow.
AS he picked his way of Sunday morn,
To the church where he loved to 60.
His hair was white, and he scarbely knew
A friend as he. passed him by
So feeble and frail was his memory now,
And SO dim was his clouded eye.
He sat in his home made chair at church,
In front of the preachers stand,
And listened, as if in pleasant dream,
To the words of better land.
The sunlight fell on his silver locks,
And his white hair turned to gold
And tancied sunlight shone from heaven,
On the heart Of that pilgrim DID,
But the autumn leaves have fallen now,
And the old man sleeps below
We never shall see him pass again,
With his tottering step and slow.
