CONI HAST. Mall is the sharp repulsive And woman is t! e rose^^ L’pon his breast it bi Catties its sweets, ‘iWTleauties there disclose. Man is the flower of the mead, But woman is the dew, Whose moisture calls its fragrance forth, And brightens ev’ry hue. Man is the sturdy oaken tree. And woman is the shower; {seal’d and wither’d this oak would be, But for the rain’ drop’s power. Man is the green and healthful plant, ttweet woman is the sun; That plant would die and fade away, W ere it not smil’d upon. ■ Miscellaneous. m ~ J =7== ■ ■— From the Carolinian.

Our servi ces arc sought for with an avidity that seems to argue much in favor of the supposition that they are considered as worth something,— But , on the other hand , they arc frequently called for in a mode which convinces us that they arc not by any means looked upon as V)oi th pay mg for. One thing is quite certain; munkind consider us the most charitable portion oj the human race, or they would not so often appeal 1o \ our share of that heavenly virtue; and I they must think further , that the news pipers is established and kept up for the special use , belief t, and advantage of the public , and that the said pub lic is to be accommodated in even/ draft it sees fit to make upon the prin lei s time, ink and paper, whatever, in . the meantime, may become of the poor j printer himself: Whether he starve or grow rich in rendering unpaid services to the public are matters of no moment. — he is a Printer , and , ergo, the community f .has a right to the ta bors of his type. 2 hank you, Messi eurs, ‘‘The Public” thank you kind ly for your patronage, but are most outrageously afraid of starving upon it, were we to print every thing garlu itousiy that we are “vubticty reques ted” to do. IVe u tßhs%*ry willingly publish eve ry proper thing you send,provided, you ‘ U'iil be polite enough to reciprocate the favor.—Every ( iiurchproceeding wish advertised shall be done gratis, if you will to occupy J a pew upon the same terms. Every notice for the furtherance of public objects , whether secular or clerzl.al— and whether to be performed eleemo synarily or ex contractu, shall be published without pay, if when the contract is made you will give us apart of the profits, or ij when the contri bution box goes round you will not ask us to put something into it. But no—you always expect - us to contri- I bate like other folks, (and while we have a cent we will cheerfully do so,) and then ask us to do your printing i and publishing for nothing. In short, ihe printer seems to be considered as under obligations to contribute doubly for all objects. This is an unjust and ungenerous expectation in the pub lic. H e will always give to the full extent of our abilities, and beyond our fair proportion to all laudable objekts. Having done that, let us be paid like other people for our professional ser- \ vices, and for our tjyjical drudgery, j IVe hare been more especially led ■ to these remarks from the circumstance , of being requested this week, to pub lish an advertisement by some gentle men, neither of whom, but one , ever subscribed for this paper—and into whose District it does not go. H e insert it solely because one of the ad vertisers is a subscriber, and because he is a friend, for whom we feel a j warm respect and kindness—certainly j not because we feel under any obliga- j cions to do it because it is for the bull- j ding of a Church—for we do not even j know what denomination the Church is j building for, nor do we care-—we wish | well to all Christian Churches , bull we are hardly able to assist in building ] Churches in all parts of the country., H ere we to insert all advertisements j which we are directly , or indirectly, i solicited to do gratuitously , it would . keep one page of our paper cons tardy ; filed,, and would amount to service \ rendered without any pay, of about five hundred dollars a year.—-Cam den Journal.

I was led to sus pect it to be brought on by girting her chest, with the intention of im proving her shape. It is well known that this practice is a frequet cause oi Pleuralgia in young ladies. The pains thus caused is generally in the muscle. % A note appended to the article, contains the following statement: I cannot omit tine present oppor tunity of stating, that the same prac tice frequently cause a deep seated, obstinate pain in the head, which no bleedings relieve for any lenght of time-—The cause of tins pain js the interruption of the blood through the descending aorta, in consequence of which it is thrown with unnatural force on the brain, and brings on a permanent derangement of the or gan. The pain in the head, thus produced, has term dieted in insani ty, in three cases within my knowl- of which have proved fatal. ™ A fine Nevvfouniand dog the other d.ay—having something of a taste for the fine arts as well as his master, who had paid his two shillings— went in to see the Panorama Paint ing of the Lake, and City of Genava, now exhibiting in the City of New Aork. Alter gazing for some time, j With evident tokens of gratification, i he lound himself so strongly tempted by the cool and fresh appearance of ; the water, that he could no longer resist, and made a desperate plunge at the canvass. The poor fellow es caped without any serious injury but horribly disappointed—The incident ; is one of actual occurrence; and no j higher praise can be bestowed upon the picture.— Com. Adv. From a Connecticut paper. MASONRY. Great exertions are making to get up an Anti-Masonic party m this State. Coasiderabieexciteraentpre vails in several counties on the sub ject. Conventions have be.en held, addresses made, committees appoint ed, and inflammatory publications issued—with a view, we suppose, to carry the object into the electioneer ing contest. To those whose curios ity is excited on the subject of Ma sonry, we offer the testimony of WasaiagtoJs, which musteonimanu tlie bonacable mind, and allay I l '** apprehensions of the most weak and credulous. In reply to an address made <o him by the Master, in behalf of King David’s Lodge, in Newport, Rhode Island, Gen. Washington observes— “ Being persuaded that a just ap plication of the principles on which the masonic fraternity is founded, must be promotive of private virtue and public prosperity, I shall always be happy to advance the interests of the society, and to be considered by them as a deserving brother.’* Masonry rejected by Pirates. —We formerly noticed die advantages arising from masonry, ip a brother beirg kindly treated by the natives of Africa, when cast ashore in a helpless condition on their coast. A more striking prooi of ut fiuence was given at a meeting of the Leith and Canongate Lodge oi\ Thursday evening. The Captain of a vessel stated, that when sailing on the South American seas, he was boarded by pi rates, who fiotu their uuufbers, rendered reels, tance vain The Captain and several of the crew were treated with much rudeness aud about to be bound, while the plunder of the vessel was going on. In these circumstances, when entrea ty and supplication were not listened to, the Captain, as a dernier resort, made the mystic sign, “which none but craftsmen ever knew.” The captain of the piratical crew immediately returneu the same, and gave orders to stop the proceedings—grasping his me onic brother by the hand with all the fondness pf an old acquain tance. Mutual acts of kindness, then passed be tween them—-every article seized was restored, and the two ships parted company with three hearty capers.— 'Scotsman. Wonderful Tree.—A paper pub lished in Gore, TT jper Canada, men tions a pine tree, now growing in that vicinity, which about a yard from the ground measures 20J feet in circumference, and appears to he but little less, at the height of 60 or 70 feet. Its whole height is estimat ed at 200 feet. It is known by the name of the “Johnny Martin Pine,” from the circumstance of a Scotch man of that name, who once lived neat it, always stopping for a consid erable Mpie as he passed hat way and viewing it with mute astonish ment.

Income ’)f die late papers, ft is stated i that, in regard to the succession to the Popedom, the name most generally mentioned is that of the venerable Cardinal Gregori, a Genoese by birth, “who has had great experience in the most impo r taut affairs, h;*@ travelled throughout the greatest part of Europe, and is as dHtjognished by his j profound knowledge of Eurasian policy as by Ills virtues aiuqpWy.”*--- lb. Coble it, after advocating the Ca tholic chums, until they became po pular with the Ministry, has sudden ly changed ground and become their violent opponent. In his Register of March 51 st he tells the Duke of* Wellington that “The measure is so odious, every man must oppose it who has any sense of consistency or honour about j him. It is ail, taken together, a most odious measure; and there is a meanness belonging to it which makes it perfectly disgusting. Ma ny thousands, and indeed hundreds of thousands, who wished success to the measure before the scheme of disfranchisement, now wish it to fail, now wish disgrace to fall upon the heads of the projectors; and if it be determined to push on this part of the measure along with the otheir, I verily believe that you will be beaten at laist/’ Wilkes Superior Court , FEBRUARY TERM, 1859.

CTk. • The Ncit-York MEDICAL ACADEMY. happy effects of the Bota- JL nical System of Practice, more especially of late employed in the cure of diseases, are such as entitle it to a high rank amongmodern im provements. The opinion long en tertained in its favour, by many, of the judicious, a thorough has now demonstrated to he well • founded: and with the nuulber and variety of its salutary achievements,* its reputation is daftjfejigcfetising* lUnust be evident discern ing mind, that the present prevailing j.practice of medicine, ffhieb reacts j this botanical |iid, is at variance with I our nature and with our happiness. I Mercury, the Lancet, and the Knife , jUFe chiefly relied upon, by physicians jo rid surgeons of the present day, for • the removal of almost all the diseks !es incident to the human body, not j withstanding the eflects of these de letorious agents, are evidently fatal to multitudes. Deeply with these facts anti with a view cJ reforming the science and of medicine, an individual of tln-vi ty in the year 1827, procured a lot of ground and erected a handsome and convenient edifice, for an Insti tution denominated the United States lyfjrmary, expressly for employing a reformed system of practice in the treatment of diseases; the remedial resources being chiefly derived from the productions of our own country. The course of treatment adopted by this Institution was principally he re sult of near forty years experience of a distinguished medical reformer; which course we are happy to state, lias been growing with signal success, and proved to a demonstration, thut without mercuru, that boasted cham pion of the mATLRIA MEDICA, jor other poisonous drugs, diseases I generally may he cured hy those j more safe and salutary means, which j the God of nature has so liberally scattered around us. ; Animated by the past success, and ! w r ith the hope of benelitting future generations, an irrepressible desire has been felt, that .measures commen surate w&h the importance of the oh ject should be taken, to promulgate this valuable system of practice, and thereby improve mid reform the no ble Sc important science of medicine. After reflecting for years upon the prudent and successful method of ef ’ fecting so desirable an object, it has been deemed expedient to establish a MEDICAL SCHOOL, with com petent teachers, wheie students may receive board arid instruction until they are fully qualified to practise in the various branches of the healing art upon the reformed system. We are now happy to announce, that a building for such an Institution has been erected, and (by Divine permis sion) will be opened in Nov. next, for the reception of Students. * The building is large and commo dious situated in Eldridge-Street, between Grand and Broom, and ad joining the present U. S. Infirmary. - It is in a healthy and pleasant part | of the city, and has been completed at a great ex pens, e The following branches will be taught.— 1. Anatomy. 2 Surgery . 3. Theory mid Pract ice of Physic. 4. Midwifery, and Diseases of wo men and Children f 5. Materia Medica and Practical Boiany. 6. Chemistry and Pharmacy. The benefits to be derived by an attendance at this Institution, will, we trust, be duly apreciated by those who wish to acquire a correct know ledgeofthe healing art. Here tiie student will he taught all the modern practice which is deemed necessary, in addition to jthe Botanical; and in conseauenc of his residing in the Institution, and pursuing a systema j tic course of studies., combining each of these departments, he may ac quire a knowledge of both in less than one halfthe time, and with half the expense, that is required at o- j ther Medical Institutions, There being an Infirmary connect- 1 ed with the Academy, the students | will have the benefit of Clinical prac tice, by which the experimental part of medicine will be acquired with the Theory. Another advantage held out lo the student is, .that all those wire con form to the rules and regulations ol the school, and there finish their edu cation, will have employment, with a generous compensation, secured them by the institution, to disseou ; natc the practice of medicine in dis fefent sections of the country. J'here will he no specified time to piete a course of study; hut whenever the student is qualified to pass an examination he will receive a Diploma, and this Diploma will haveyp decided advantage over every other, as it will enable the pot. essor to practice in every State in the L* nion without molestation. * REQUISITIONS.
