friends of Medical Science will be grati
fied to learn that Dr. Dugas has under
taken a work ot such importance, and j
which he is so well fitted to accomplish j
in a satisfactory manner. The work!
will be a valuable acquisition to Surgi-j

Augusta. Ca, Feb. 23d, 1858. |
Dr. L. A. Dugas —Dear Sir: The pro-1
sent class of the Medical College of I
Georgia, being fully impressed with the:
importance and practical value of your 1
system of Diagnoat and Practice of Sur- j

Auuusta, Feb. 21th, 1858. j
Gentlemen: I have received the commu-1
ideation you have had the kindness to
address me, in behalf of the Medical
College of Georgia. This testimonial
of approbation has, I am sure, been
prompted more by the partiality of my
young friends, than by an extraordinary
merit of my own ; qnd yet I am free to
say that no compliment has ever been
more grateful to my feelings, for I see in
it the evidence that my feeble efforts to
be useful have not been altogether un- 1
appreciated.
Hooking upon your request, that 1
publish a “System of Diagnosis and
Practice of Surgery,” as an earnest of
tha indulgence with which the work
would bp received, much of the reluc-1
tance I might feel in undertaking sol
important and delicate a task, will be I
removed. I will, therefore, cheerfully!
accede to your wishes at as early a date
as my leisure hours may permit.
Be pleased gentlemen, to tender to I
the dass the expression of my affec-!
donate regard, anti believe me over,!
your friend and obedient servant,

Mrs. Granger though a widow,had so
I preserved her youthful freshness and
! bloom that at thirty seven she might
readily have been mistaken for ten
years younger,but for one little eiremn
stance. This was a daughter, well
grown and looking full nineteen, the
age which she had really attained.—
Mrs. Granger, like most widows had no
objection to a second marriage ; but
who would think of addressing a wid
ow with a daughter of marriageable
ago ?
Mary Granger was a sensible, con
siderate girl,and deyseil away to reme
dy this embarrassment.
Early in June, mother and daughter
were discussing the point where they
should go for the summer.
“ I-am for Saratoga,” said the moth-;
er.
“ And I for Newport,” said Ma
ry-
But think of the walks, the mineral
waters, and all the attractions of the
Springs 1”
“So 1 do. They are all well enough
in their way. But I like best to be at
the sea-side. They have such delight
ful hops at the Ocean House. Be
sides, there is ttie beach and daily
bath. ”
“ We can't go to both places, ”
| said Mrs. Granger, in a tone of inde
! cision.
“ Why not?” asked Mary.
“ The season is so short it would
; scarcely bo worth while. Besides, it
: would be so much trouble to go from
one place the other.”
“ Yon don't understand me mother ;
I have a better plan to propose. You
like Saratoga. There is no reason why
yon should not spend the season there.
I like Newport. X can go there."
“ You would not go alone ?"
“No ; Mrs. Bickford is going in a
: few days. She shall be my chape
jron. ”
I “ But it would seem singular for us to
I separate.”
“Not at all,mother. It will be suppos
ed that you go to Saratoga for your
health, while I, having received an in
vitation to go to Newport, choose that
1 place in preference.”
Mrs. Granger finally acceded to this
j proposition. It struck her at once that
: Mary's absence would be favorable to
: her in more than one way. So, after a
j feeble opposition she yielded,
j Merely adding that the first of the sea
i son found mother and daughter at Sara
; toga and Newport, we pause for a mo-
I ment to introduce two new dramatis per
: mia\
In a well appointed room in tire Astor
' House, New York, sat two gentlemen.
! Giving the priori ty to ago, wc will speak
j of tlie oldest firs' .
Mr, Ueoffry Ta box was turned of for
ty but was a well looking man still,hut]
j grey in spots, or would have been but |
' for the assiduous use of n certain hair
restorative, the miraculous effects of
I which may be rc ul in detail in any of
j the daily papers. His youthful appear-!
I ance was increased by liis dress, which'
! was in the height of the fashion.
; The younger man was tall and well
j made and probably two or three and
twenty. He bore sufficient resemblance
] to his companion to lead to tire supposi
j tion. which need was correct, that he
bore to him the relation of son. He
was known as Edward Tarbox.
“Ned,” said the parent, languidly
tossing aside the cigar which he had
been smoking, “ I have been thinking
of you for the last fifteen minutes.”
“ An evidence of paternal interest as
gratifying as it is unexpected,” return
ed the man, smiling. “May I ask to
what thoughts I have b-.cn fortunate
enough to give rise?
“I was thinking how confoundedly
old you were getting t« he Neil."
“Thank you father ; Ibud'nt begun
to feel troubled on that sco.e.”
“ Don’t call me father it's vulgar.—
Besides, who wants it thrown at him,
that he has got a son that l ooks looks
| as old as he does ?”
I “Really, 1 think you exaggerate a
, little. 1 have no occasion yet for hair dye
: which, if I am not mistaken yon have
, been using for the last ten years.”
“Hush, Ned do he prudent. I wouldn’t
! have the secret known for the world. It
! would ruin my prospects.”
“How do you mean, fath—,l mean
i Mr. Tarbox?”
“My hopes of marrying a rich’ wife,
I you dog—giving you a second mother, j
How would you like that?”
“ I fancy i should he a very devoted
| son, if she were pretty, hut if sh*i is a
'scraggy old maid, you must excuse me.”
“ A scraggy old maid? I blnslf for]
( you Ned. Do you have so poor an idea
[of my state, as to imagine I, your fath
| —.(well never mind about that.) Do
I you think I would sacrifice myself to
one of that class ?”
"Not unless she is a female Croesus.”
' “Right, my dear Ned. You have hit
the nail on the head. I knew you
would do me justice. However, Ned,
as the subject lias been introduced, we
might as well disscuss it farther. To be
frank with you, you are my chief em
barrassment.''
“ I?”
“ Now don't look so astonished. Os
course you are. I don’t mean to say
you not a very nice young man—"
“ That’s equivocal.”
“ Well, then very estimable, and all
that sort of tiling; hut really I wish
you weie somebody else's son.”
“ Thank you for the compliment ”
“ Now don’t get foolish, Ned. fear
me through. The fact is, as! intimated
a little while ago, you are so contended
old thaf it naturally leads peopl • to
think I am a second Methusaleh, which
of course, is very annoying. Now. if
you were only eight or ten rears old,
for example.”
“ I should be delighted to oblige you
and if you will only let me know how I
am to bring myself back to that age, I
will consent, on the express condition,
however, that I am to be spared the
flogging attendant to that age.”
“ Is there any other way that I can
oblige you ?”
“ Yes, by forgetting for the next six
months that I am your father.”
“ With pleasure.”
“ In that time we shall both have an
opportunity to fall in with a suitable
match at the watering-places, and, by
employing a proper degree of manage
ment, may both make our fortunes.”
“ A bright idea, father.
I beg your pardOh, I should have said;
Mr. Tarbox. But as there is said to be j
some resemblance between ns, Jt is es
sential that we should move in different
orbits.”
“ Os courre."
■ * Well, of course one wi!) go to Sara
toga. and the other to Newport. How
shall we decide ?—Have you, any prefer
ence? ”
“ None; it is quite immaterial.”
“ Suppose we toss up a cent and let
that decide for us,”
“A cent! I never carry any of the
vulgar coin about me; say a gold piece.”
“So I would, but unluckily have
none with mo. Will you lend me one?"
Really, I rather think I am out, just
at present.”
“ Then I believe we must take a cent,
after all. Which will you have—head
or tails?”
“ Tails, Ned ? lam shocked to heat
you use such a vulgar expression. Say
extremities.”
“ Very well. Heads or extremities?”
“Heads; and by the way, let heads
mean Newport.”
“ Agreed. I will throw. There, I
have lost, as I always do ”
“ I go to Newport, then,” said Mr.
Tarbox, senior.
“ And I go to Saratoga,” said Mr. Tar
-1 box junior.
“And for the six months, you will
remember, I disown you as a son, und
release you from all filial obligations,
unless during that time I contract a for
tunate alliance, after which I shall be hap
py to introduce you to your mother-in
law.”
“That is understood. Good-bye, old
boy."
"Ned, I will thank you never on any
occasion, or in any connection, to speak
of me as old."
“ Excuse me, I forgot myself.”
To he sure. You see your’e getting
so confounded old yourself, Ned, and
age and forgetfulness go together. Good
by, and good luck ? This day six months
at any rate, we’ll meet here.’’

a wood dealer said :
“T’ere, sir, that is all the money I
have in the world ; three months ago I
was worth thirty thousand dollars, but
it has allgone in Hay State stock?”
Many women might tell a similar sto
ry, who, relying upon the character of
those at the head of the company, in
vested their savings in the stock only
to see it vanish like the dew.”
A Woman’s Advantage.
A woman may say what she likes
to you without danger of being knocked
down for it. She can take a snooze after
dinner, while her husband has to go to
work. She can dress herself in neat and
tidy calicoes for a dollar, which her hus
band lias to earn and fork over. She can
go forth in the streets without being
invited to treat at every coffee-house.
| tike can paint her face if she is too pale,
I and flour it if too red. She can wear
j corsets if too thick, other fixings if too
i thin. She can eat, drink and be merry,!
| without it costing her a cent. She can
i get divorced from her husband when
when she sees one she likes better. And
! see can get in debt all over, until lie
' warns the public not to trust her on his
: account any longer.
