Good Advice to Young Doctors.

'.How to practice medicine
was the subject of the yaledictory
address of Prof L. P-aYandell, Jr.,
to the graduates of. the University
Of. Louisville last March. In de-
veloping the precept that sit is the
duty Of the physician to relieve his
patients cito, tuto, ct jacallde,' the
following sensible advice is given
under the 'jucunde" divisiorof the
text:
In al-things study the quiet, the
ease, the enjoyment Of your pa
tients. Give them abundant fresh
-air and ice and cold water and fruit,
when they desire such things. AS
to food, obey their appetites. Hun
ger and thirst have been we'll styled
our physical conscience" which
in the sick-room is never to be dis
regarded. They. are safer guides
in respect to diet and drink than
can be found in all onr medical phi
losophy. They make known to Us
what the living organism needs.
Whatever sick people have true
desire for they ought, therefore, ito
be indulged in. When your little
patients have been sick long
time. and have become an@mican
emaciated, it may be for want Of
proper food, have them carried to
the table, and allow them to indi-
cate by signs, if they have no
words, what their systems require
to build them. up again. Infants
suffer great distress when i'll, on
account Of thirst, which they have
norway of making known to US ex-
cept by means and cries. You
will often be delighted to see how
instantly their plants cease on
your giving the little sufferers a
drink Of cold water. Dismiss from
your minds, then, and everywhere
jiscountenance the absurd notion
that cold drinks can ever be inju-
rious to the sick. Whispering, too,
should be discountenanced. The
attention of patients is attracted By
it, and they are annoyed and fa-
tigued by the effort to hear. Some
of my colleagues whisper that this
is especially the case with lady pa
tients.
AS a general rule, you may safely
trust the feelings OF convaiescents
in regard to setting up and taking
exercise, as we'll as in reference to
diet. In word, you can scarcely
consult the inclinations of the sick
too far, except as to physic, Of
which Of course they know moth
ing. But I must put you. on your
guard against yielding to the ad-
vice of their nurses and friends.
Consult with no one bqt$a doctor,
and never take suggestion from a
non-professional person. You will
encounter numberless sage individ-
uals everywhere ready to. aid you
by their counsel, based upon longl
experience or something they have
heard. If you adopt their sugges-
tons, the patient and attendants
will soon and naturally conclude
that they know as much about
physic as you do. It will be well,
therefore, respectfully but firmly to
put aside all such interference.

CARE OF HORSES. - All horses
must not be fed in the same pro-
ortions, without having regard to
their ages, their constitutions, and
their work; the impropriety of such
a practice is self.evident. Yet it is
constantly done, and is the basis OF
disease Of every. kind.
. Never use bad hay on account Of
it's cheapness, because there is no
proper nourishmentin it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly in.
furious, because it brings on ihham-
nation Of the bowels and skin dis
eases.

Colored Dresses-An Important lnVen

The Scientific American says it is
not often that we find scientific
items of any especial. degree OF

sex, who may, perchance, glance

Miss, you are now the possessor
of a summer dress, made from
some white diaphanous material :;
and it may also be imagined that
during your shopping YOU have
inspected goods of similar nature,
only of varying cofors, from which
you have purchased sufficient ma
terials to construct a number OF
those bewilderirg garments in
comparison with the intricacies OF
which the most elaborate works of
modern engineering furnish no
parallel. Now, a learned German
professor has invented a plan where
by your single white dress may be
changed as often as you desire to
any color you may fancy, and this

after the money which you would
devote to several robes of varying
hues may be entirely saved, while
you may appear daily, if you choose
in toilets Of totally different com

The Chained Host.

The potato famine in Ireland was
no where felt more severely than
in that part of the country where
the following s'ory is'told as a true
tale.
In a small village in one of the
most barren districts in the west "1
Ireland, there lived a very poor
widow, whose sole inheritance from
her husband were two healthy
children, girls. of the respective
ages of three and five. Painfully
and by the utmost efforts she had
contrived to pass two years Of her
sorrowtul widowhood. Bad and
scanty food, obtained only by labor
too great for her delicate frame, had
at last thrown her upon sick bed,
and death, in pity, removed her in
a few DAYS and without great suf:
fering from her earthly troubles.
The poverty of the whole parish
was SO great that nothing could be
done for the poor orphans. All
the neighbors, with the utmost de-
sire 10 help, were too famlne-strlck-
en-, and heard their own children
too often cryi in vain for bread, to
assist others.
eff the children could only be
got to. Kilburn"-a village some
miles south-said one of the neigh
bors, after the poor mother had
been buried, "a brother of their
father lives there, and could not
possibly refuse to take care of them.
"But matters are as bad there as
here" replied another, and 81 fear
they will be no better off there. ~
1T cannot. possibly be worse
than here, for nothing but, starva-
ton stares them in the face. i
we send them to their relations we
have done our duty. We cannot
possibly keep them here. %
So a carrier, who was going near
to Kilburn, as an act of charity
took the two girls-Lizzie was
seven now, and Mary was five-in
his cart with him. The timid chill.
,dren kept very quiet and close. to-
gether. and the carrier hardly look
| ed at them. Toward noon they
reached the spot where the car
would turn off. The man lifted
them out, showed them the road t.
the left, and bade them 60 straight
forward, and if they did not turr
from the high-road they would il
about two hours come to the place
He then drove off. The children
sobbed out "good-bye," and looked
as they could see specks of tn
cart, and then they both began tt
cry.
Lizzie ceased her crying first
she took hold of her little sister
hand, who had seated herself OF
the grass, and said: "Get up, Ma
ry, we must not stay here if W
wish to get to Kilburn. We car
not stop here on the road"
"I'm SO hungry" sobbed Mary
1--WE have had nothing to eat a
day." And they both began t

The Gransers and their Enemies.

To the Editor Of The State Journal:
There have been many newspaper
articles in Virginia spattered at the Patrons
of Husbandry, some Of them savage, some
sCurrilous, all harmless F; we have, hitherto,
replied to none of them, otherwise than to
push on with the Order to a complete
triumph i'll the state, until now we have
more than the requisite number of SUBJ
ordinate oranges to constitute the Vir-
GINA State Grange, which will be formed
during the last week Of this month. 1t is
evident, from their language, that those
papers are laboring in gross ignorance and
selfish prejudice, from the fact that they
attribute wrong principles and motives to
the Order, and strive to array the people
against it on some sectional and social feel
ings.
Among the bitterest Of these is the Lex
ngton Gazette, which has been lndulging
in little harmless skirmish, with its blum
derbuss, against the Order as Yankee
affair; striving to prejudice his readers
against the Order, and Curtiss the agent,
on the score that he was Union soldier !;
and that it should not be approved because
it is not of Virginia origin but, as we are
informed, the editor is much more brave
and valorous in using his pen now against
The Yankee soldiers than he was his musket
during the war--but we can't say.
But as he misstates the character and
aims of our labors, we lean to the side Of
charity for him, and think he is laboring
in ignorance, not believing he would will
iDgly mlsrepresept us; and when he knows
more he will be wiser; then he will not be
found SO nervously opposing good thing,
hannlya IF did not FOR frn,,, hso
We rather regret his foolish course, for he
is evidently writer of some ability, and
might use his talents for the improvement
of the farming class, rather than to dis
parage it.
1t is only the wrong-doer that need fear
and object to the Order, for it is based on
righteous principles, and "the law is a
terror to the evil-doer," and the wicked
business, carried on justly, will receive
Patrons Of IIubandry and the Oranges.

Rockbridge mountains, some years ago,
whose cabin was on the other side, so that

and he had well-worn trail, where he

fine road by an easy and shorter route, a
short distance from Bob's rough trail, but
he still persisted in following hisown way ;
when some of his acquaintance suggested
that he better travel the new road, where
he could run good wagon load in as
many hours as he used days. "No," said
he, them fellows didn't come from my
country, nor begin the new road on my

MAY IS, 1857.

MAY IS, 1867.
1t was fifty years ago
In the pleasant month OF May,
In the beautiful Pays de Naud,
A child 10 Its cradle lay.
And Nature, the old nurse, took
The child upon her knee,
Saving :."Herels story book
Thy Father has written for thee"
Come wander with me- said she,
Into regions yet untrod;
And read what is yet unread
In the manuscripts of God"
And he wandered away and away
With Nature, the dear old nurse,
Who sang to him night and day
The rhymes of the universe.
And whenever the way seemed long,
Or his heart began to fail,
She would sing more wonderful song,
Ortell more marvellous tale.
So she keeps him still child,
And will not let him go
Though at times his heart beats wild
For the beautiful Pays de Vaud:
Though at times he hears in his dreams
The RAM DIES Vaches of old,
And the rush of mountain streams .tg
From glaciers clear and cold.
And the mother ut home says, "Hark
For his voice listen and yearn,
It is growing late and dark,
And my boy does not return ~
