? Sol has got over the line and feels better
for it. IT'S painful thing for the warm
hearted old fellow to wheel himself out Of his
bright circuit in the Southern skies where for
half year he has been holding soft dalliance
with the gentler seasons and Ike hardy pion-
Ger blaze" himself new northern paths through
the bleak heavens where his enemy winter has
been lording it so long. And so with his face
mpiHed for grief and .retinued by sympathising
troops of sable clouds whieh weep rain tears
as they go, he takes up his march like war
rior whose braced sinews have soitened in the
halls of case mt; his knightly harness cumbers
and wearies him when he would seek new
strifes, the stout monarch seems obliged to be-
gin the fight with moderation, battling twelve
hours with the hostile powers of the upper air
and resting an equal number in the cave of the
under work.. But he is sure to come off con-
queror. The March winds, those taterdemal-
ion rear ranks of retiring Winter who dart
their frosty lances at his face until all the air
tingles with the cold do but fret him into hot
ter action, until stripping off his mourning
weeds while the frightening days gain upon
the nights, he guides still higher his flaming
chariot, searches and consumes the lingering
remnant Of his foes, and smiles victoriously
over sea and land. All this he has achieved
very handsomely within the last few days, and
We in the corporate capacity of a city, glorify
him exceedingly in our daily walk and CONVEX
sation.
While our own goodly city is rapidly growing to
an excellence all the cities of the country and
perhaps of the world, in the varied and many quail
ties which constitute the acknowledged worth Of a
metropolis it is surprising that it should become
such seat Of professional learning as do honor to
and Ike the pride of the Western continent. AN,
thinking more particularly of the profession of medi-
cine Our sister city Of the worthy Quakers has for
long time claimed her superiority in the advantages
which she offers for the study of this department OF
science and art (or though modest sister, she often
naivey says that she is beautiful aud me.itoious }
but the present day we can scarcely yield the palm
to any city in the world, Paris not excepted. The

standing the hg. standard Of scholarship adopted as
a test of proficiency, about two hundred young phys
clans are graduated here annually, nearly all Of whom
carry their learning and skill away to the country
towns and lesser cities the Union. The oldest
school in the city, he University of the State of New
York, is soon to be removed to new aud snlendic

A new way Of advertising, rather costly, but Ger
tairy calculated to tell well has been discovered ant
adopted by Mr. Bonner, proprietor Of the Merchants
Ledger. MI. B. keeps up constant succession o
and continuous stories, and in order to call at
tenon to them, he advertses the first parts word fo
word in the daily papers, with the line TO be con
tnued in our next under them, as II they were
written for those journals; but the second or hrt
day, when the reader gets to the bottom of the in
salments OF these stories, and becomes thorough,
interested in them, he learns that the rest can be OBJ
aimed in the Ledger. This system has largely in
creased the circulation Of the Ledger.
