Is there one who do.s not daily let his thoughts
fly back to the time when he was i child, and
think of this beiag who is now perhaps among
the sants in Heaven! Who Is there that does
LOT at times think of his MOTHER!
All. well DO most Of ua remember our mother,
who hus sat for days in the " dear old room at
home," and morning till night piled the busy
needle, making US a pair Of pants or new
lacket, or a new frock for sissy, while her foot
WAS upon the cradle rocker, lulling the dear
little baby to sleep. And then, too, the sweet
stories she used to tell US. All these lhngsd do
we remember and thousand more. And when
the hour came for US to sleep, how she would
make us kneel at her knee, while she sat III the
sold arm chair " and taught US to say, SHOW lay
me down to Sleep And then, as we grew
older, how she would watch over US to keep US
from harm! And then memory will take US on
TO the time when we were called to leave her
side and launch our frail bark upon the rough
and stormy waves of the world, to buffet our
way amongst those who were older,--hOw the
tears fell thick and fast when taking that dear
one by the hand. We saw her no more for
years, and then she was dying !-her eyes Tor
ever closing upon the scenes Of this world, tc
behold the beauteous grandeur Of the brighter
sphere.
That mothers influence has protected usfroT
many snare, and always will be as star o
hope.

respondent of the Medical World states that
doctors arc increasing in this country like Jo-
nah,s goards, and that at the rate at which they
arc now ground out at the medical schools of
Philadelphia, New York, and other cities, they
will form one of the largest bodies of non pro-
ducers known to society. If man has three
BOYS he wants one of them in each of the three
professions, generally choosing theworst one in
the pack for a lawyer, the weak bodied one for
divinity, and the weak headed one for physic.
The average is that two out of every such three
generally take to combining doctoring with one
of the other professions. Tho writer says he
has made extensive explorations in the West,
and finds the condition of things there no better.

Kansas and Nebraska, there are more medical

3fATTEsos, NJ. c., AND HIS JuIsY.-A capital
story is told in the following extract from the
letter of the Washington correspondent of the
Buffalo Commercial, at the expense of an NJ. @.
from Oneida county, New York, apropos of the
corruption bills passed of late years by Con-
gress:
A case was tried at Grand Rapids, Michigan,
A few wears ngo. A man who had previously
borne rather suspicious character, was indct-
cd for stealing large quantity of pork. He
employed lawyer of considerable local reputa
ton to defend him, and although the affair had
an ugly look, he was stronglyin hopes of getting
off clear bnt when tho testimOnyo on behalf of
the prosecution was concluded his guilt was as
clear rs the sun at noOn-day, and his counsel
was about to give up tho case i'll despair. But
the prisoner was as cool as n cucumber, and con-
tiClent of acquittal He insisted upon the de-
fence being proceeded with. "llave you any
evidence to rcfutc this overwhelming array of
testimony" ''Not particle" "Then how the
devil do you expect to get clear2" Never you
mind, Squire-go on with your speech, [ shall
do well cnouglln 81 tell you this is trifng and
nonsense You acknowledge yon stole the pork,
and they have proved it upon you, to the entire
satisfaction of every man in court. Now, what
can sayg" ''AIake 'em good speech, Squire,
and Im safe 10 get Off" SImpossible-there's
nothing to be said" 81 hired you, and inten-
dctl to pay you, but not cent shall you have,
unless you give the jury talking t."
Under this inspiration, the lawyer made a
rambling, incohercnt address to the jury, in
which every thing was discussed except the case
under consideration On concluding, he whis-
percd in the prisoners ear-'Yo internal scoun-
tlrel, ought to be sent to the State prison my
SELF and what you expect to gain by this strange
proceeding can't conceive" am tell youwhen
the jury come in
After a charge from the Judge, in which his
criminality was distinctly asserted, and main
tanned that intelligent part of the 'palladium of

short time came back with u verdict of "not

the lawyer Of his client so, [ wanted you to
