"Sof' has got over the line and feels bet
 ter for if. Iris painful thing for the warm 1 hearted old fellow to wheel himself out of 1 his bright circuit in the Southern skies,
 where for half year he has been holding
 soft daliance with the gentler seasons, and
 like hardy pioneer "blaze" himself new
 northern paths through the bleak heavens l where his enemy winter has bean lording 1t so long. And so with his face mrffled for grief and attedned sympathising troops of sable clouds which weep rain tears as they go, he takes up his march. Like warrior whose braced sinews have softened in the halls of ease until his knightly harness cum bers, wearies him when he would seek new ! strlfes, the stout monarch seems obliged to begin the fight with moderation, battling twelve hours with the hostile powers of the upper air and resting an equal number in the caves of the Under world. But he is sure to come off conqseror. The March winds, those tatterdamalion rear ranks of re- tiring winter who dart their frosty laRces at his face until ali the air tingles with very cold. do but fret him into hotter action until stripping off his mourning weeds while the leng,hening days gain upon the nights he guides still higher his flaming chariot searches out and consumes the linking rem nant 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 city glo- rify him exceedingly in our "daily walk and conversation"
 While our goodly city is rapidly growing to an excellence over all the cities of the country, and perhaps of the world, in the varied and many qualities which constitutes the acknowledged worth of metropolis, it is not surprising that it should become such seat of professional learning as to do ho9- or 10 and he the pride of the Western conti- nent. l am thinking more particularly of the profession of medicine. Our sister city of the worthy Quakcrs and right ansled broth-rly love has for long time claimed her superiority in the advantages which she offers for the study of this department of science and art, (for though modest sister she often naireiy says that she is beautiful and meritorious, but at the present day we can scarcely yield the palm even in this, to any city in tine world-Paris not excepted. The schools here, conducted on principles of education, the broadest and most compre- hensive known 10 the age-provided with teachers who are among the ablest and most learned in the scientific world-loca- ted in the midst of and in connection with our numerous hospitals, offer advantages to the sudden, of medicine unsurpassed if not unequalled anywhere. Their general pros- perity and the rapid growth of the younger ones to popularity attest ifeir real excel lence. Notwithstanding the high standard of scholarship adopted as test of prohcien- cy about two hundred young physicians are graduated here annually, nearly all of whom carry their learning and skill away to the country towns, and lesser cities of the Union. The oldes, school in the city, that of the University of the State of New York now located in Crosby stree: near Spring, is soon to be removed to new and splendid ediiice in course of erection in tine upper part of the town. ss

 MT. B. keeps up constant succession of new and continuous stories, and in order to call attention to them, he adrertises the first parts word for word in the daily papers with the line "To De continued fA our nert" un- der them, as if they were written for those journals; but on the second or third day, when the reader gets to the bottom of the instalments of these stories and becomes thoroughly interested in them, he learns that
