TO the Regular Practitioners Of
Medicine in the State of Miss:
The next annual meeting Of our
State Medical Association will be
held in Meridian on the first Mon
day in April, pyoy. Onr last re
union in Vicksburg was II most in
teresting aad instructive occasion;
but the attendance was too small
for the number of medical men in
Mississippi, for the good othuman-
ity, and the cause OF medicine at
large. We must, can and ought
to do better, 1t will be u pleasant
reIiet from the daily routine Of
practice, Il delightful social gath
tring, u means of increasing medi-
cal knowledge, and the perform

" which YOU owe to your patrons,
TO medical progress, to yo II State,
and to yourself. The expenses

SUMMER.

She is almost gone-on her beautiful breast,
The bloom of the roses are seeking to rest
Ere she slumbers 20 wake no more;
All our hearts grow sad, as we sit TO day
Watching her fading forever away
As her sisters have done years before.
How blithesome she seemed II that merry June
day,
She first came among us-singing away
All our murmuring doubts, and our fears:
Full laden with sunbeams, and laden with flowers,
She stepped in our lives and in contrast the hours
Grew brighter, as seen through the Spring
tears.
Now she too is fading the lily's pure kiss
And the daisys are pressing herliFs down to bliss,
Ere she sleeps in the grave of the past;
Even the sunshines forgotten to give
0fhis brightest refulgence; few days to live
few-and she "slumbers" at last
Oh Summer! why fade thou? Why droOp thou p
Why die?
Thou brought us the rose;-Oh why lay them by,
Meath the bright Autumn leaves, and the rain?
Thou brought us the flowers !-0h take them not
yet -
Entirely away ! lest we almost forget
That they-like the birds" come again."
" Almost forget;" and grow weary and sad,
Dreaming of ofhowers-other " flowers sweet and
glad,
That did come with thy coming, but now
Lie wthered and pale on thy bosom and crushed,
Just as they once lay upon il and blushed
To-day, they are dying like thou.
Sigh softly and tenderly zephyrs! nor wake
Her, fair ily-buds birdlings, oh break
Forth in your sweetness, sad song :
She is sleeping now :-on her beautiful breast,
The bloom of the roses are seeking their rest
Our Summer is almost gone.

How 10 Dwarf d Town.


Horace Greeley presents the following as q
sure means Of destroying the prosperity Of the
most promising town. There can be no doubt
Of its efficacy:
=" If you wish to keep town from thriving
don't put up any more buildings than you can
conveniently occupy yourself. If you should
accidentally have an empty building, and any
one should want to rent it, ask three times tho
actual value Of it. Demand n Shylock pricc
for every spot Of ground that God has given
you stewardship over. Turn cold shoulder
to every mechanic or business man seeking a
home among you. Look at every new conner
with scowl Run down the work of every
new workman. Go abroad for wares, rather
than deal with those who seek to do business in
your midst Fail to advertise, or in any other
way to support your paper, so people abroad
may know whether any business is going on
in town or not. Wrap yourself up within
yourselves with coat Of impervious selfish
ness. There is no more clfectual way 10 rotard
the growth of town than actions ike those
enumerated, and there are people in every town
who are pursuing the same course every day of
their lives, and TO whom the above remarks arc
respectfully offered for their attention"

in his breast, made by the strangers bullet.
is your friend seriously hurt7" inquired
the latter coolly.
You can see for yourself, sir" the second
answered
"Therc you're in error" replied the other !;
"Iam totally Jlind"
The wounded man, who had by this time re-
vived little, and his second, looked at the
stranger in astonishment There was no visi-
BILE defect in his organs of vision; but there
was fxity of look-that " bending of eyes
on vacancy" which so unmistakably
evinces the absence of sight.
Who are you9 and what is your motive
in seeking this encounter" the Major family
murmured.
"First, are you in a condition to renew it ?"
inquired the stranger.
"There is no need am dying"
"When l have told you who am the
stranger, resumed, "you will scarce require
my motive for what have done. No Won
der you have forgotten James Merton" he
continued, 4" for he is greatly changed, no
doubt"
The dying man started, and groancd bitter
ly.
"But have not forgotten you, Richard
Buford, nor the injufes you have done me-
A cherished daughter, the pride Of my eyes,
and the Joy of her mothers heart, you cnticed
from her home, deceived by sham marriage,
and then abandoned her to die of q broken
heart My son, and only remaining child, in
rash attempt to avengc his sisters wrongs, fell
victim to your accursed skill. You even
robbed him Of the ordinary chances Of combat,
unequal as they would have been, by encasiDg
your cowardly body in concealed armor. The
loss of both of our children unsettled my wife's
reason, and she died in mad house. Could
have found you then, would have given you
no chance for your life, but valiant as You have
always professed to be, and coward as you
are. you evaded me. Yet knew we should
some day meet and registered a VOW that
when we did meet would offer you sacri
fee to your own internal art To this end
studied to become an adept at II, and succeed
ed. And when at length blindness cast its
shadow upon me, and seemed to render hope

doning It, betook myself to new species Of
practice. sought to make hearing take the
place of sight. Again ! succeeded. | learn
ed to take aim with ear instead Of eye. When
heard you answer ready" to-day, l knew
the exact direction in which to point my pis-
tol, as well as if had seen you. Besides, !
could hear you breathing where you stood
You lost your chance in delaying your fire.
You wished to make sure wotH and overreach-
ed yourself"
Moro than once the Major looked appealing
ly at the speakers face, but in those remorse-
less, sightless eyes, there was no sympathy.
And as the labored breathing grew fainter, the
old man resumed his listening attitude At
last all was still.
"He is dead !" he said; and its wonted ex-
preston of sober melancholy settled on the
old mans face, as taking bis companions
arm, he turned and walked lcisurely away.

About Boys.

hate your good Sunday y-school-lOok boys
There have said it, and don't care who
hears me. You may hold up both hands in
pious amazement at this new proof Of my ut
ter depravity as long as you please; you can
not frigh.en me one bit. am determined TO
give you "pieco Of my mind upon this SUBJ
ject.
This good boy business is ovcrdone. Our
Sunday-school libraries are full of books all
manufactured after the same pattern. The
hero is always good little boy who dies young,
and, il we take the authors word for it, goes
straight TO heaven, The bad boy invariable
goes to the bad. If could have my way, |
would make huge bonfire Of all the Sunday
school libraries in the land then would give
the children Tom Aldrich's Bad Boy" Miss
Alcott's Old-Fashioned Girl" and. other
books of similar nature. Ny word for it,
they would ike the charge.
The bad boy has great deal Of natural
goodness mixed in with his bad qualities
Kindness mixed is never thrown away on him.
When was several years younger than am
now, Eept" district school in a small town
among the hills of New England, among my
pupils there was great rough fellow four years
my senior-the bad boy of the school He put
the schoolmaam out of doors the previous win
ter, thrashed the school committee, and finally
broke up the school for that Term.
When ! entered the little brown school
house every one predicted trouble with John
Bennett. lie was quiet enough the first day,
though evidently plotting mischief. After
school was over for the day I called him to my
desk and said:
John, you are the biggest boy ir my school,
and I shall expect great deal of you. The
people here all say that you are bad boy, but
I do not think You will make any trouble for
me. You are great deal larger than | am.
aud several years older You can help me much
you will. Will you try?' and ! held out
my hand.
"Tbat WILL" said John, taking my hand
in both his; nobody ever talked to me like
this before"
John kept his word, and that school was :
success.
Two years ago met John Bennett in Bcs
ton. He had been admitted to the bar, anC
people spoke ofhim as rising young man.

and animal spirits. They viii be brave, gen
erous and enthusiastic. They will have larg

Strong recommendation.

A manufacturer and vcndcr Of patent medi-
cine recently wrote to a friend living out west,
for good strong recommendation OF his lthe
manuiacturers) Balsam." In few days he
received the following, which we call pretty
strong:
Dear Sir Tho land composing my farm
had hitherto been so poor that scotchman
could not &c. a living off of it, and so stony
that we had to slice our potatoes and plant
them edgewisc but hearing OF your Balsam,

rail fence, and in the morning | found that
