WHO WOULD NOT BE AN NJ. d.
The following faithful portrature of physi,
clans life should not be kept frola the eye OIL
the public:
A DocroR's LIFr-The following care some
of the sweets of doctors life: If he visits a
few of his customers when they are well, it is
to get his dinner if he don't do So it is because
he cares more about the fleece than the flock
If he goes to church regularly, it is because he
has nothing else to do; if be don't, it is because
he has no respect for the Sabbath or religion.
If he speaks to q poor person, be keeps bad
company; if he passes them by, he is better
thau other folks II he has q good carriage, lie
Is extrnvRgant II lie uses poor one, on tie
udore U! economy, lu Is dst!oient IN n6cosslry
pride. II liz makos paf!ies, 1t il to soft soap
the people to get thcr money if he don't mako
them, he is afraid Of u cent! If his horse is
fat it is because he has nothing to do; if he is
lean, it is because he isn't taken caro- OF. If he
drives fast, it is to make peQpe think somebody
is very sick; if he drives Slow he has no inter-
est i'll the welfare of his patients If lie dresses
neat, he is proud if lie does not, he is wanting
in selfrespect If he works on the land, he is
fit for nothing but farmer; if lie don't work,
he is too lazy to be anything; if he talks much,
"we don't want doctor to tel everything he
knows )" if he don't talk, "we like to see doc
ter social if he says anything about politics,
he had better let it alone; if he don't say any
thing about it, "we like to see man show his
colors;" if he visits his patients every day, it is
10 run up bill if he don't, it is uujustiliablc
negligence; if he says anything about religion,
he is a hypocrite, il lie DON'T he is an inlidel ;
if lie uses any of the popular remedies Of the
day, it is to cater to the whims and prejudices
of the people to fill his pockets; if he don't
use them, it is from professional selfshness if
if he is in the habit Of having counsel often it
is because he knows nothing if he objects to
it OH the ground that lie understands his own
business, lie is afraid of exposing his ignorance
to his superiors; if he gets pay for one-half his
services, he hnss the reputation OF being great
manager.
Marriage is, to woman, at once
the happiest and Saddest event Of her life it is
the promise of future bliss raised on the death
Of present enjoyment. She quits her home
her parents-her companions-her as.nsemcnts
everything on which she has hitherto depend.
ed for comfort, for affccton for kindness and for
pleasure.
Her parents, by whose advice she dared to
impart the very em%ryo thought and feeling
the brother who has played With her. by turns
the counsellor and the counselled, and the ypun
ger children to whom she has hitherto been the
mother and playmate are torsaken at one
fell s;roke-every former tie is loosencd-thc
spring Of every actiun is changed, and she flies
with Joy into the nn,rodden paths before her.
Buoyed up by the confidence Of reputel love,
she bids fonl and grateful adcu IA the life
that is past, and turns with excited hopes and
Joyous anticipations to the happiness to come.
T'en, 'roe to the m,an 'rRo caA bligM such .t',ir
hopes : who can treacherously lure such a heart
from its peaceful enjoyment and the watchful
protection Of home: who can, cowardIlke, break
the illusions which have won her, and destroy
the coniidpneo WHICH love had inspired.
A BUTTER IrEM.-An amusing colloquy, says
a Western paper, came Oft, recently at tho sup
portable, on board one of our Mississippi boats,
between Boston exquisite, reckmg with hair
oil and cologne, who VA, curSing the walters,
assuming very consequential airs, and raw
Jonathan seated by his side, dressed in home
spun Turning to his vulgar friend, the former
pointed with his .iewelcd finger and said:
"Buttah, sab ?"
"G see it is" cody replied Johnatlian.
"Buttal, sah, say" iieFcely repeated the
dandy.

Buttal, tell YOU" thundered the dandy in
still louder tones, pointing with slow, unmuving
finger, and scnwlinS upon his ncighbur as il he
would annihiIate him,
"Wall, gosh all Jerusalem, what Of it 2" now
yelled the downeastor, getting his dandrr up in
turn. oyer didn't think | took it for lard 2"
A MopEr. REMINDER.-A Southern editor
thus discourscth to the delinquentS"
Wagons cannot run without wheels, boats
without steam, bul-frogs jump without legs,
or newspapers be carried on eyerlastingly with
out money, no more than q dog can wag his tail
when he amt got none Our subscribers are
all good, but what good does mans goodness
do when it don't do any good I We have no
doubt every oEe thinks that all have paid ex-
cept him, and aS We are clever fellows and his
q little matter, it will make no difference"

EFFECTS or NEWSPAPER READING on EDUCA-
rIoN.-Thc educational effect of newspapers has
mainly resulted from their encouraging and
keeping alive the habit of reading for q news
paper Is to the general re2uer lar more attrae-
tive than hook-in fact, man can read a news
paper, whsn le cannot read anything else. He
often finds, however, that fully to understand
the news of the day, he must have recourse to
books-so difficult is it for educated persons
who now write in newspapers, to write with
sufficient simplicity to be invariably understood
by the uneducated, or rather the imperfectly
educated. Itis, moreover, in chronicling tho
progress OF our educational instructions-from
the university to the ragged school-and in the
fearless advocacy Of the great cause of public
instruction and political rights, that the news
paper must bc regarded the most powerful
aid to education. Tins S-hoo! Days Of Emil
