The last Revolution (Which is sent to
US regularly, in consideration Of our de-
votion to csinoline) has letter written
by Theodore Til,on, from which we
make the following extract:
Ibelieyc that woman is natural physi-
clan. And I believe, also, that the day is
not 6fty years in the future when one-half
the entire medical profession of this coun-
try will consist of women. It will then be
pleasant for man to be sick
On this the Revolution makes the follow
ing elegant comment:

This is written by woman. These are
her initials '.E. C. S." representing Eliza

has had some experience with sick man.

she speaks in no evasive or uninteHigible
terms.

and but for the irresistible fact that the
sick ones have long legs, just as narrated
By Lizzie, we should most certainly feel it
our duty to go to the rescue.
There is no denying the fact that a wo-
man, "pale and thin in an easy chair, can
look quite interesting" especially if the
dressing gown and cap" are made up ac-
cording to the latest mode, and she is as
"pale and thin" as the leaf Of water-ily

Adams core, unkept beard, irritable tenn

future, "and his long legs, that no one can
lift in bed or out, is enough to sppal the
most patient and loving of Ewes daughters" !"
This is all very bad. But, regarding
Lizzie as "tbe most patient and loving Of
Eves daughters" We feel inclined to do
her real kindness ; and it she be disposed
to abandon her widowhood and experiment
with just one more sick man we can refer
her to an ex.rebel soldier who, though be
