Whnt is Life!



The mere lapse of years is not life
To eat, drink, and sleep; to be exposed
to dark ness and light; to pace around in
the mill of habits, and turn the mill of
wealth; to make reason our book keep
er. and thought an implement of trade;
this is not life. In all this but poor
fraction of the Inconsistencies of hu-
manity is awakened: and the sanctities
still slumber which make it worth while
to be. knowledge, truth, love, beauty,
goodness, faith, alone can give vitality
to the mechanism of existence, the lauhS
of mirth which vibrates through the heart
to tear which freshens the dry wastes
within, the music that brings childhood
back, the prayer that calls the future
near, the death that startles US with mys,
terry. the hardship which forces us to
struggle, the anxiety that ends in being.

The night was very dark, and flakes
of snow were falling fast over the al
ready whitened ground; but the old sor-
rel was perfectly acquainted with every
inch Of the ground, and, as if prompted
by instinct that he was on business that
admitted of no delay, he needed but lit
tie urging on the part of Malachi to
make him stretch his neck through the
village of Brunswick like greyhound.
Occasionally his rider would rein up
and pause to listen, if he could hear the
Gathering of hoofs in the distance, and
when he could hear no sound but the
moaning of the wind as it whistled
through the forest trees, he would shout
-'ga lang" and the horse would re-
sumo his old pace.
But this perseverance was not to go
long unrcwarded; for he had scarcely
put the village of Brunswick FIVE miles
behind him, when he descried the OBJ
ject of his search short distance ahead,
and travelling at such gate as con-
vinced him that Ensign Spencer had
little to thank Malachi Doolittle for his
handicraft. AS the matter stood it was
no great feat for the sorrel or appren.

There is now to be seen a Comet in the
North West part Of the heavens, it IS
either approaching the Sun or receling

but its motion IS 50 slow that I have not
been able in this short time to perceive
its real direction; though it appears lar

VIII the Gold Hines Pay?

That Is the question: We think not.
At all events not this fall and coming
winter. Some Of the letters received
from the Mines STATE that men can make
from eight to twelve dollars rer day, and
even higher than that. Bat others say
TIA. those who are there now, lowing to
IT, lack Of proper lois, do not acreage
more than from two 10 four dollars per
day" knowing the great disposition
which mankind have to exagerate er-
ery,liny that IS both new and marvel
Gus, we suppose that the lowest amount
mentioned IL any Of the letters Is quite
as much as the miners have as vet been
able torealize, one daywith another, per-
haps even more than most Of them can
make with the utmost exerton. But. adj
hitting that each man there can gather
as much as ten dollars per day now, they
cannot during winter. How are people
people to sUb>ist there in the winter time,
four or five hundred miles from civIIiza-
ton; without provisions for mar or beast
except what they can carry with them;
I'M mountainous district on the eastern
slope Of the Rocky Mountains, where
the climate is more rigorous, even III the
latitude Of 80, than in either Nebraska
or Minnesota: without any houses; with
snow from four to six feet deep: IN the
midst Of Savares more hostile to the
whites than n others on the continent
For many to 60 there this winter under
all the circumstances, and when the gold
IS covered to a great depth with snow,
would be absurd, the height of folly, per-
feet madness. We would far rather
spend the winter at the North Pole, with
a Franklin or a Kane than at Piaes'S
Peak. If there really Is any gold there
worth digging, It will not all be taken
away before Spring.
So far as this Territory IS concerned,
the discovery Of the gold viii open a
glorious future. The regions Of the
mines are worthless for Agricultural pur-
poses, and consequently there will be q
demand for all surplus produce from here.
The markets here viii be equal to, and
more reliable than those of the seaboard.

Mr.. EDITOR:
In looking over the last weeks number
Of the advertiser l saw a cOmmunica-
ZION entitled Doctors" written, l sup
pose by one Of your would be aspirants
TO the noble and exalted profession Of
Medicine. The gentleman asks the
question-"Can every man be a doctOg!'
The question, l think, is easily answer-
ed. Every man. cannot be a doctor, for
the simple reason that eyey man cannot be
a statesman. 10, Mr.. Editor, as an
humble deciple, and warm supporter Of
the science, | disclaim all connection with
quucks and ~pretenders who go about the
world shoveling their long bills into eyey
thing, and promoting the welfare Of the
Undertaken.
Now, Mr.. Editor, in my humble oPin-
ion, a man to become a Thoroughbred,
and out-and-out, good Doctor, should do
as l have done-apprentice himself to
some noted and popular physician, of the
true Saagra3o style, and employ his time
in acquiring the necessary knowledge
and instruction from his PrecePtor. He
should read Doctor Gun on Practice, .
GulIirer's Travels, Sinbad the Sailor,
"P. D. k" Old Mother Goose, and a
variety of other classical works. After
your student has perused the above nam
Cd dclec,abIe books, then let him satu-
rate his clothing thoroughly with the odor
Of a Drug Establishment, and he IS ready
to 20 forth into the world, armed with the
true knowledge, and with the fire Of

bors in the confined space Of his study.
toiIing by the midnight lamp to fit him
for the Iaborious duties Of a physician, his
first success crowns all his efforts with a
joy ~unspeakabIe.

faculty; the degree Of Doctor IS con-
ferred on physicians, asa professional de-
gree Now let the public, compare the
definition given bymen Of the highest or
der of intellect, of the different preten-
ders to medicine and that of the educated
physician, and they will at once see that
all the n aims at, is a sum of money, at
the expense very often Of life to those who
employ him. The other is a a who
has read and analysed what he processes

anatomy Of the human body, who must be
versatile, in al that pertains TO his pro-
fession. The other is MT only ignor-
