Time swiftly flies—in hold career, Still circling on from year to year, No pause lie makes—o'er town nnd tower, By night’s still couch, at mid-day’s hour— Mill on ho sweeps, each matin cliimo Gives warning of the flight of Time. But yesterdny—each eye hath seen Nature and youth and beauty green,- The cowslip raised its dewy head— Tho wild rose graced its wilder bed— Tho laurel bloom and scented tlivme, Combined to form a wreath for Time. But he hath dashed them from his brow, And winter's treasures deck him now- ilia locks display the snowy gefu, Diamonds of hail hit diadem. And winter, from his frozen clime, Follows tho wasting flight of time. I,. I.. MISgBgDJLIjTY. _ Modem Ulysses.—" No sooner wns ihc hatchment mounted over the porliro of Beech- wood Hall, announcing Ihnt its Into proprie tor, Mr John Dcnycrs, watt dead, nnd that his widow had succeeded to the splendid man sion und brond lands, than it was hailed ns the signnl for attack, by all llto unmarried men within a circumfcreuco of twenty miles. They flocked to her by scores, arrayed in tho mourn ing cloak ol" condolence, endeavouring to Btnugglo in their lovo under the disguise of sympathy. Hor lawyer, a hale bachelor of -sixty, requested sho would do him llto honour toconaiderhimlessintho light of n professional adviser than a friend zealous for her interests, and would fain have preaenled her with n title to his services in his shrivelled hand ; but he Itnd already given her n surfeit of parchment; and the man nf law discovered that, although Ins suit Itnd frequently been aticcessful in tlioso courts whero the presiding goddess is represented to ho blind, it was quite another tleng to plead hit cause before a woman with her eyes open. In fact, ere sho had worn tho woods of widowhood for aix weeks, her paths were beset, nnd her dwolling besieged; nnd never, certainly, had woman a better chance of mending her luck, for there was not one of the whole live nnd fo’ty lovers who was not willing to stake his life upon tho sincerity and disinterestedness of his affection. She could not open a window in Iter house, but a myriad of billets-doux came showering into it liko n snow-storm.—She could not lake a walk in hor most private grounds, but n lover started from behind every bush, and flung himself up on his knees in the pnth before her.—Others, again, affecting bucolics, would wander forth into the fields, crook in hand, and carvo Iter name upon every tree, to the great endangcr- raent ofher timber. Every domestic in Iter household wae bribed by one or other of her suitors, and sho was under the consequent ne cessity of changing her establishment twice n roar, from the lady’s maid to the stable-boy. ‘While, however, there exists not a rebel in the citadel of the heart, the fortress will hold out long against external assaults; and the widow bad got some antediluvian notions into her head about ! first love,’ • respect for the memory of the dead,’ be. which, although no doubt, extremely eilly. had the effect of disin clining her from a second speculation in the hazardous adventure of matrimony. As the number ofber suitor* increased, their indivi dual chances ofeuceeas, of course, diminish ed, and their audacity being in tho exact ratio of their despair, her mansion was no sanctuary ■gainst the intrusion of her unbidden guests. The matchlaea impudence of one of her visi tors deserve* particular record. It happoned that one day the widow went out, for several hoars, to call oo a friend at aomo distance, leavin" only two male domestics, tho butler and a footboy, in the house.—Towards even ing, n horseman rode up to the hall door, und applied himself with more titan ordinary ener gy to the knocker. He was a tall, nulitury- lookicg personage, with a cast of features which might have been termed handsome, InM for n certain cynical expression which much detracted from their j leasing effect. The stran ger flung his rein to tho hoy, desiring him to take his horse to tho stahlo and have it well led and littered down for Ihc night, and then stalked into the house, and notwithstanding reiterated announcements from tho servants in chorus of “ Mistress is not at homo, sir,’ stop ped not until he reached the dining parlour, when, turning to the butler, who had followed him, hesuid, ‘ Here, let that valise tie taken up into her ladyship’s chamber, and let a lire be lit there, for it’s rather cool.’ * Very cool, indeed,’ said the domestic, upplying the epi thet to the speaker and not to the weather, nnd was meditating some impertinent oliser- -vution, when the strungor carolesslv, as it it had been his handkerchief, drew a pistol from each pocket, nnd placed them on the table be fore him. The butler, who had a mortal dread of fire-arms, quitted the apartment in haste, as if to do the stranger’s bidding, hut in reality, to communicate to Itis fellow-domes tics, the females. Ins suspicions of the cliurac- ter of the guest. Their conversation wns, however, soon interrupted by the violent ring ing of the bell, and it was sorno time before Geoffry could summon courage to answer it. • Your pleasure, sir?’ said he, re-entering the dining-parlour.—* Some dinner !* responded the other.—The huller paused, but at length said, 1 Verv sorry, sir, hut wo have not got nny thing in tho house.’ ‘ Then look in the poultry-yard.’wns tho reply, ‘let mo have a broiled chicken in half an hour.’ Tho other stated, but the stranger’s eyes happening to foil upon the pistols, Geoffry seemed to un derstand llto appeal, nnd being anxious to go offfirsl, hurried out lo counsel the sacrifice of acliickento their common safety. In the course of tho half hour, the dish wns smoking before tho guest, who, having no notion ol glasses being jdaced on the table for the mere purpose of ornament, pronounced tho mono syllable * Wine.’ ‘if you please, sir,’ said Geoffry, ‘ wo enn’t get at any, for mistress has got the key of the wino cellar in her pocket.’ ‘ Nonsense!' exclaimed Ihc other, ‘ who over heard of n wine-cellar will) onlv one key ?— why. keys in n great man’s house arc like pis tols, there are always two of a pattern.’ The allusion had tfo effect; Geoffry vanished in an instant, nnd shortly re-appeared as Ganymede. In a few minutes nfierwurds, the noise of wheels announced the return of Lady Denycrs who on being informed of the stranger’s arri val, liko a woman of spirit, went straight into the dining-room to demand an explanation. On the next instant, the servants heard a loud scream from their mistress, and. concluding that she was murdered, they, very dutifully, ran out of the house, nnd sot off at full speed, each in a different direction, for the dortor. It seemed Ihut no sooner had the lady east her eyes upon her visiter, than she uttered a pierc ing shriek, and sank unon the carpet. Now when a man faints away, the approved method of treatment is lo kick and cuffhim till he re cover; hut with a woman tho case is some what different. The stranger raised her in his arms, threw half a glass of water in her face, and poured the remainder down her throat, mid at Iasi, succeeded in restoring tho patient. ‘ And is it really you, Sir John ?’ ex claimed the Indy, when she became somewhat tranquil. * Ay, in very deed. Cnroline,’ wns the reply ; ' ghosts do not drink Madeira nnd devour chickens.’ ‘ Then you were not kil led and eaten by those frightful Ashantces ?’ ‘ You greatly wrong that very respectable and much slandered pooplo,’ said Sir John; ‘ they hnvo bettor lastea, and preferred my society to my flesh, insomuch that I hnd somo diffi culty in esenpirig from their hospitalities.’ ‘ I hope my dear,’said the Indy. * you wero duly sensible of their attentions V * I was very near ly being tnscnsiblo to them and every thing else, for tho worthy gentleman who did me the honor to engross my society, soeing mo determined on quitting him, followed mo os for as he could, and then fired a parting sa lute from his musket, into which he had, inad vertently, put a bullet, and loft me with hnlf nn ounco of load in my shouldor.’ ‘O dear ! exclaimed tho Indy, ‘ how very horrid—and did you walk all tho way in that state !’ • I did not wnlk two hundred ynrds, my love, for I fell into u bush, exhausted from iho loss of blood, when I was picked up by nn Ashantec damsel of sixty, whoso charms would hnvc made your ladyship jealous, and who extract ed Ihc hall, put n plaster of herbs to my wound, nttd smuggled mo down to Capo Coast Castle, where 1 found Iho report of my death so well outhentirnted, that I wns challenged by nn Hibernian brother officer for presuming to doubt it.’ ‘ And wero you so rash as to tight with him V * No, lor I had not timo, being anxious to embark fur England to relieve your anxieties and to save my executors ss much trouble ss possible.—Hut how is my nephew?’ ‘ O, in high health nnd spirits, and inconceiva bly vain of the title.’ ' I nm sorry for that, because I have not quite done with it.’ At this moment a noise wns heard in the passage, occasioned by the return nf the domestics, bringing with them tho posse eomilatus nnd fourteen ol the lady’s lovers, who, taking it for granted Ihnt the ferocious ruffian would have escaped before their arrival, valiantly rushed to her rescue. When, however, they heard the voice of the intruder in tho parlour, it became a point nf precedence among them which should enter first; at length a clown, in tho back ground, pressing forward to get n glimpso of what was going on, insdvcitently applied the stimulus of a pitch fork lo the rear of the man before him, who communicating tho impetus to tho next, it passed on the vttn, and they all blundered into the room, where, to their utter astonishment tkey beheld the living Sir John tete-a-tete with his lady. Doubtless, you will conclude the baronet en acted Ulysses on the occasion, and drove out Ins rivals at point ol sword. Credit me rea der, he did no such tiling: lie was an old sol dier, nnd a man of the world, and knew better than to make enemies of fourteen blockheads, so lie ordered up a dozen ol claret, and they madu a night of it.”—Humourist. The First Shot—i Historical Fact.—' 1 By Jove,” cried liltlo Jules, one bright morning in July, “ if I only had a gun,”—and he pushed uway wilt indignation the chcsnut ringlets that clustered round the youthful forehead, struck the table with his clenched fist, his youthfu 1 blood boiling in his veins, at tho sight of friends and brothers murdered in cold blood ; then he approached the window, and leaning his smooth and burning cheeks against the panes, which shook with .'.to firing ol the royal troops, his eves filled with tears ol grief und indignation as ho beheld the terrible mas sacre in the slreots, und gazed on the result of a monarch’s stupidity and a court’s corrup tion. “ Mamma, mamma !” he exclaimed, “only look; there arc some poor fellows car ried off on a litter; they must bn dead or dy ing.” “ Oh my God, Jules, come from the window.”—“ And look, there urn somo who have just fallen, bruised and wounded. By Jove, if I only had a gun.” Ilts mother, alarmed at Jules’ extreme agi tation, drew him from tho window, and en deavored to divert his tnind ; but he escaped from her kind solicitude, run up tho stairs, four steps at a time, up into the garret, whero, among other antiquities, he found an old, and rather rusty musket, and little Jules clapped his hands in ecstacy and exclaimed, “By Jove, 1 have got a gttn at last.” It was rather hea vy for so youthful and inexperienced an arm— but what is impossible to a generous and in trepid heart, though it heat in the bosom of a boy of twelve—Little Jules raised the musket which just suited him, stepped down stairs with his proctous burden. “ pede suspenso,” for fear of alarming hts anxious and watchful mother. But when Jules got into the street Ito found his rusty and heavy musket not load ed—Luckily, as ho thought, a grocer’s store stood next lo his mother’s house; ho ran into the shop and exclaimed. “ Do not bo alarmed, 1 am your friond Jules ; load my gun, good fellow, and make haste; by Jove. I will give it to them yet.” “ What!”cried the astonish ed grocer; “you too?” “ Load it, load it, and don’t talk to me,” replied Jules. “ But you aro too young to fight,” remonstrated tho friendly grocer; “ they will kill you, Jules : do you not hear the cannons, and the dreadful tiring ? just listen. ’ Blit Julos stamped his foot and answered only, “ By Jove, old man, do not chatter so, but load my gun ;” nnd the grocer finding all entreaties vain, did ns ho was commanded and loaded the gun. Jules, after casting one lin gering and affectionate glance at the windows of his mother’s hnuso rushed into tho street, already strewed with doud bodies. “ Oh my tiod !” he murmured to himself; though even at this dreadful sight tho oourago of tho boy failed but for a moment. Just in front of him was u regiment of the king’s household troops. An officer in glittering uniform, with a drawn sword, and threatening gestures, was leading them on to a new and ruthless charge. Jules gazed for u moment at tho terrific scowl, and imperious voice, with which tho officer cn- eouragud the massacre, and murmured once more to himself, “ By Jove, 1 have got a gun!” He posted himself behind a low wall, rested his musket on the top of it, ook a long and deliberate aim, and fired. The officer in brilliant uniform tell from hts horse, shot di rectly through the heart. Jules rushed into his house, ran to his mother’s room and told her in triumph how he had killed “ his coun try’s foe.” And the trembling mother pressed him in silence to hor beating heart | and hud engraved on the old musket the low but ex- pressivo words, “ Paris, July 28th, 1830.” Concatenation.—In 1765, a young man who had just terminated his course of theolo gy at tho seminary of Avignon, went to Paris, where ho hud not a single ucquaintanco. On his journey, he fell in with two youths, who liko himself had scarcely attained their twen tieth year. One had studied the law, the other was already an M. D. They mutually interchanged nn avowal of the projocls and hopes which drew them towards tho capital. ‘ I,’ said the scholar of Hippocrates, ‘ wish to be a Member of tho Academy of Science, and Physician to the King.’ ‘ 1,’ resumed the student of Bartholus, ‘ wish to bo Advocate General,’ and ‘ I,’ said the student of Avig non, 4 wish to bo Chaplain to the King, and one of the Forty Members of tho French Aca demy.' If our young heroes had not been alone in the carriage, every other hearer would havo laughed at their imprudence, and pronounced all these projects so many castles in the air; but how ignorantly of tho chances of human lifol Tho young physician was afterwards Dr. Portal; tho young advo cate became tho celebrated M. Treillard ; and the young student rose to a scarlet hat as Car dinal Maury!

To jiromotc the beauty of the Hands.-Those who want delicate hands, are recommended ns an infallible rule, never to hold them near tho fire, or expose them to cold winds or rains. Whero the hands nro sun burnt, they may be washed in lime water, or the juice of lemons ; these will also remove freckles from them, if not too severely impressed, ns well as from the face and neck ; or the following solution, which may be obtained at a trifling expense, and which is, in fact, a better preparation than any ever sold, or advertised by the numerous empirics of the day, aud will, by experience, bo found much more certain and efficacious, namely ; Take distilled water, or water that has boiled, one pint, sal ammoniac, half a drachm, oxymuriate of quicksilver, four grains ; dissolve the two last ingredients in o little spirit, and add the water gradually and uniformly lo them. And to the whole another pint of water, and it is ready for use. It may he nppliod by means of a piece of sponge, as often as convenient, to freckles, skin coloured from the rays of the sun, such as tawny necks, arms nnd hands. Rose water is preferable to the distilled water, from its being of a more cooling and aromatic nature, though more ex pensive. If the hands he previously fomented with a warm infusion of bran, tho solution will act better on them. While wc are laughing at the Yankees for some of their querities, most of which by the way are either old Anglicisms, or vulgarities which are common to the uneducated classes as well in Kngland as in this country, we had’nt ought to overlook some of our own. While wo ore sneering because Mr. Jonathan Raw guesses, let us try to correct, now and then, a vulgarism of our own. Who ever heard a Yankee say, I done wrong, or I done right— I done the net ? No man ever heard him say so. He says in good English—I did so and so. Do we ever hear him use tho adverb “ once” in any thing like tho heathen once't, which is so common among ourselves ? Has he ever been caught in tho phrases—“ I feel like I should die”—“ It looks like it would rain,” for the legitimate English “ us though ?” The Yankees never abuse the vernacular ad verbs in this unchristian form ; nor hare wo ever caught them calling a bag a poke; or say ing, they mought havo done a thing, they might. Indeed, they generally say in accor dance with tho grammatical canon of their languago, “ I shall be glud to hear from you,” instead of the pagan expression, “ I will be glud, be." Wo merely make these notes for the benefit of an editor or two, who soem not to have sufficiently attended to the subject. Besides this, wo look upon it as an act of philanthropy to certain wiseacres, who take it upon themselves to be very wise and learned in a language which they do not seem to un derstand—viz. their own.—Camden Journal. Political Dialogue.—The following dia logue was heard to pass the other day on a hackney coach stand :—“ 1 say, Ned, I know you’re a pniitishun—what’s all this here fight ing about amongst the Dutch and Bolgins ?” *• Wlmt is it about ? Why its about their fun damental law. The Dutchmen vunts to make tho others vnar their big breeches, aud they vont.”—London Paper. The Divorce.—A married couple determin ed to be divorced; but nut being able to agree, with respoct to the disposition of the children, referred the dispute to nn aunt, to whoso arbi tration tney respectively agreed to submit. “ Wo have tlirco children,” said tho husband, “ I insist upon keeping hco ; '.he third should be left to tho care of tho mother.” “ But I,” said tho mother, “ have a right to two; the care of one will bo more than sufficient for you.” “ There is no way of settling this dis pute,” said tho am.t, with tho true gravity of a judge, “ but by waiting for the birth of a fourth child, you can then separate upon equal terms." This decision restored good huinor. Tho contending parties embraced, and the idea of a divorco was forgotten. Loss of Sight and Speech.—The captain of a trading vessel having somo contraband goods on board, wishing to land, said to nn exciseman, whom ho know, “ If I was to pula half-crown pieco upon each of your oyos, could you soo ?” The nnswer was—“ No : and if I had another upon my mouth, 1 could not speak.” A Short Horned flu//.—Yesterday, says the Brabant Courier, “ yesterday will add a bright page to history.” The reader has seen Joe Miller’s dialogue between a German Jew and a Dutch one : German—“ Docsh it rain thomorrah ?” Dutch—“ Ish it vazh.” Digestive Power.—The lato Duke of Cum berland being once in company with Foote, was so delighted with the wit of tho player, that he said, “ Mr. Footo, I swallow oil the good things you say.” “Do you?” replied Foote; “ then your Royal Highness Ims an excellent digestion; for you never bring any of them up again.” Bonaparte.—During iho Consulate of Na poleon in 1803, when ho was residing at Brus- aels, he was accosted by a soldier covered with rags, who after the usual military salute, said, “ Good morning General.” The Con sul looked at him with surprise, and deman ded, “ Whence come you, my bold fellow!” “ I come” ho said, “ to inquire if these clothes (showing his tatters) arc fit for a soldier who has served his country thirty-six years.” Na poleon reflected an instant, and then, with that kindness and tact so peculiar to him. said, * I will give you new apparel, though I do it with regret.”—'* With regret, Geaeral!” “ Y’es, with regret, for, in covering you with new garments I shall hide nn honorable scar which I perceive on vour breast.” Napo leon ordered him to be equipped,uod settled on him a pension of 100 crowns.

NEW YORK MEDICAL ACADEMY. CIRCULAR. T HE happy effects of the Botanical System of Prac tice, more especiully of late, etnployedin the curs of Diseases, arc such as entitle it to a high rank aiinmc modern improvements. The opinion long cntertso.id in its favor, by many of tho judicious, n thorough et> perieiicn has now demonstrated to be well founded; and with the number and variety of its salutary achieve- meats, its reputation is increasing. It must ho evidcht to every discerning mind, that the present prevailing practice of medicine, which re* jects this Botanical aid, is at variance with our nature and our happiness. MERCURY, the LANCET, and the KNIFE, trt chiefly relied upon by Physicians and Surgeons ol the present day, for the removal of almost all the diseases incident to Ihc human body, notwithstanding the ef fects of these deleterious agents are evidently fatal to multitudes. Deeply impressed with these fact-, and with a view ofreforming the science and practice of medicine, an individual in this city, in the year 1517, procured ulot ol ground, and erected a handsome ai d convenient edilicefor an institution denominated the United States Infirmary, expressly for employing u to- formed system of Practice in tho 1'rcutincnt ot distunes, tho remedial sources being chiefly derived from the productiunsuf our own country. The course of treat- ment adopted by this institution, was principally the result of near forty years experience of a distinguished medical reformer; which course, we are happy to state, has been crowned with success, and proved to sdemon- stration, that, without Mercury, thot boasted champion of the Materia Medico, or other poisonous drugs, dis eases generally, may be cured by those more sale and salutary meane which Ihc God of Nature hae so libe rally scattered around us. Animated by the past success, and with the hope of benefitting future generations, an irrepressible dcsite has been felt, that measures commensurate with the importance of the object, should be taken to prouint- gain litis valuable system nf practice, and thereby im prove nnd reform the noble and important science of medicine. After reflecting for years on the most prudent ond successful met hod of effecting so desirable an object, it has been deemed expedient to establish a Medical School, with competent teachers; where students may receive board nnd education, until they are fully quali fied lo practice in Ihc various branches of the Healing Art, upon tho reformed system. Wc are now happy to announce that a building for such an institution has been erected, and opened for the reception uf students, who can commence at any period. The building is large and commodious, situated in Eldridgc-strccl, between Grand and Broome-streefs, adjoining tint present United States Infirmary. It is in a healthy and retired part of the city, and has been completed at a great expense. Tho following branches arc taught by Lectures, Re citations, Examinations,and suitable Text books:— 1. Anatomy. 2. Surgery. 3. Theory and Practice of Pltyaic. 4. Midwifery, and Diseases nf Women and Children. 5. Materia Mcdica, and Practical Botany. 6. Chemistry aud Pharmacy. The benefits to be derived bv an attendance at this Institution will, we trust, be duly appreciated by tlioso who wish to acquire a correct know ledge qf the Heal. ing.Art. Hero the student will be taught till the mo dern practice which is deemed necessary, in addition to the Botanical; and in consequence of his residing :n the Institution, and pursuing a systematic course of studies, combining each at those departments, lie may acquire a knowledge of both in a short space of lime, and at a very small expense, in comparison to that of other Medical Institutions. There being an Infirmary connected with the Acade my, the students will have the benefit of Clinical prac tice, by which the experimental part of medicine will be acquired with the theory. There will be no specified time to complete a course of study, but whenever a student is qualified to pass an examination, he will receive a Diploma. Some w ill require ono year, others two or more years, to com plete their studies. For the information of some, we wish to alatc, that this system of Practice is essentially different from that disseminated by Dr. Samuel Thompson. RF.QUISITIOXS. The qualifications for admission into the School will be :—l. A certificate of good moral character.—2. A good English education. TERMS. 1. The price of qualifying a person for practice is |250. One half payable in advance, or at the time ol entering the school; and the other half at the expira tion or close nf his studies,or before a Diploma is grant ed. A deduction of $25 will be made to those who pay the whole sum in advance, 2. Board (being an extra charge) is $2 50 per wreck, payable weekly or quarterly. 3. Each student must supply himself with DsoJf, Rid and Redding. A liberal allowance will be made to those in indigent circumstances, !CJ“ )Ve have the pleasure to announce the! our school is now fast filling up, and is in successful opera tion; and that there is an opening in every section ») the United States, for those educated in its Principles and Practice. *,* Those wishing further information, by address ing a letter, post paid, to tbc Subscriber, will receive a publication, giving on account of the rise, progress, and present stato of the above Institution. v IV, BEACH. •Veto Fort, March 30.—13—tel2m.
