WOMAM'S SPHERE.

Carlyle's Opinion of the ACCESSIBILITY of WO-
men Studying Medicine.
A correspondent of the London Standard
furnishes that paper with letter from Mr..
Carlyle to medical student, who ad writ
ten to him requesting an expression OF his
opinion in regard to the entrance Of women
into the medical profession. He says:
In the first place, have never doubted
but the true and noble function Of woman
IN this world was, is, and forever will be
that of being a wife and helpmate to a wor-
thy man, and discharging we'll the duties
that devolve on her, in consequence, as
mother of children and mistress Of house,
hold duties high. noble, silently Import
ant as any that can fall to human creature;
duties which, if we'll discharged constitute
woman in soft, beautiful, and almost sa-
cred way, the queen of the world, and
which, by her natural faculties, graces,
strengths, and weaknesses, are every way
indicated as specially hers. The true des-
tiny Of woman, therefore, is to wed man
she can love and esteem, and to lead noise
lessly under his protection, with all the WIS
! dom, grace, and heroism that is in her, the
| life prescribed in consequence.
It seems. furthermore, indubitable that if
a woman miss this destiny, or have re-
nounced it, she las every right, before God
and man, to take up whatever honest en-
| ployment she can find open to her III the
| world. Probably there are several or many
| employments now exclusively in the hands
of men for which women might be more or
less ft,-printing, tailoring, weaving, clerk
ing, etc. That medicine is intrinsically
not unfit for them is proved from the fact
that in much more sound and earnest ages
than ours, before the medical profession
rose into being, they were virtually the
| physicians and surgeons rs we'll as sick
nurses-all that the world had. Their form
of intellect, their sympathy, their wonder
| full acuteness of observation, etc, seem to
! indicate in them peculiar qualities for deal
| ing with disease, and evidently in certain
departments (that of female disease) they
have quite peculiar opportunities of being
useful. My answer to your question, then,
may be that two things are not doubtful to
me in this matter
| l. That Women-any woman who dellber-
| ately 80 determines-have right to study
medicine and that it might be profitable and
serviceable to have facilities, or at least,
possibilities offered them for SO doing.
But
2. That, for obvious reasons, female stu
dents of medicine ought to have, ii possible,
female teachers, or else an extremely select
kind of men, and, in particular, that to have
young men in anatomical classes, clinical
lectures, OF generally studying medicine in
concert is an incongruity of the first mag
nitude, and shocking to think of to every
pure and modest mind.

the back of his chair and replied as follows:

Horse.Thieves Foled by a Dog.
From the Ithaca Journal.

From the ithaca Journal
A bold attempt was made to steal pair
of valuable horses recently from the barn
of Sanford Strait, at Tioga Junction. The
thieves entered the barn, bridled the
horses. and led them into the yard. The
dog, upon discovering the mischief, by his
loud barking aroused the inmates of the
house. The thieves, fearing they were
about to be discovered, abandoned their
project, entered their cutter, which had
been left some distance from the house,
and drove away at rapid rate. When
Strait reached the yard the dog had sue

Mexico's Yankee Population.
Mexican Correspondence of the New Orleans
Picayune.

Mexican Correspondence of the New Orleans
Picayune.
Mexico is filled with Yankees as all
people from the United States are called.
These Yankees" embrace engineers, CAPT
talists, tourists, Spectators, "drummers"
and adventsrers. The last named, how
ever, are disgrace to our nation, as they
comprise gamblers, tramps and other high
personages of both sexes who travel incog-
nito. This country abounds in vast natural
resources. but is almost entirely undevel-
oped. The gold and silver mines are
worked on the same plan as one hundred
years ago. Sugar is ground, wheat gath
cred and threshold, cotton spun, paper
manufactured, liquors distilled and cloth
and textures of all kinds woven in the most
primitive style. In fact, all labor saving
machines and the latest inventions and i'm
provements of manufacture and agriculture
are just being introduced, hence the pro-
fuse abundance of the Yankee, who, with
his usual foresight and enterprise, sees an
immense trade to be developed with his
own country.

BABY POWER.
Six little feet to cover,
Six little hands to fill.

SIX little 1eet 10 cover,
Six little hands to fill.
Tumbling out in the clover.
Stumbling over the sill.
Six little stockings ripping,
Six little shoes half worn,
Spite of that promised whipping,
Skirts, shirts and aprons torn!
Bugs and humble bees catching,
Needless of bites and stings,
Walls and furniture scratching,
Twisting off buttons and strings.
Into the sugar and flour,
Into the salt and meal,
Their royal baby power
Throughout the house We feel.
Three little heads, all sunny,
To pillow and bless at night,
Riotous Alick and Dunnie,
Jennie so bonnie and bright !!
Three souls immortal sumber,
Crowned by that golden hair.
When Christ his flock shall number
Will all my lambs be there?
