For A Friend of the Family. LIN ES. O£|TlD ar iKsiwo a mead or chkmt, rairtco r*on ccido—it t. t. <Ci ” TUIOT. BY MISS SUSAN A. STUART. Oh! God, ray condemnation seems to press More and more heavily on me ; as I gaze On the deep anguish of thy lowly one. How great, —unutterably great—must then Have been his agony—thus to have wrung His heart —and painted woe—dark, bitter woe, On the pale beauty of that upturned face Os royal grandeur. Dnrk’ning clouds and thick, Surround him now in that last trying hour, To him, the halo, that erst round him shone. Thorns, too, os mocker}’ of a kingly crown, On that poor brow they’ve hung—and for a sceptre Given a jeering reed. Watch now his lip—• His quivering lip, ns if in life instinct, Seems yet to thrill with the despairing words— Wrung from his agony, as looking up m With dying eyes, he cries : “ My God , my God , Why hast thou then forsaken me /” Oh! teach, * Father, —oh! teach me !—in thy wisdom great, And mercy, all thy behests to obey: Thou, who so loved us, ns thus to give Thy meek, thy human, lowly one, to save Us from the doom of sin—lead, lead me on With thy Almighty love, to that fair realm, Wliero I may gaze upon that beauteous face With glory most divine, all-radient With love light, Father, shedding forth from Thee.

S A I iH A 5 ts H S I s Doctors Easy and Fussy. —There shall be two men, doctors for example, of equal learning and skill. They are on the look out for practice.— Doctor Easy puls his name on a brass plate on the door, and then sits down in his drawing-room to wait for patients. Need I say he has generally to wait a long time ! But doctor Fussv does not approve of the passive system. He keeps a hoise and chaise before he has a visit to make. He hires people to alarm all the neighborhood with peals of his surgery bell. He is continually being called out of church, and has once ventured on having his name shouted as being immediately 7 wanted, while attending a Lowell lecture, Not a form ol advertisement does Doctor Fussy neg lect; and the odds are, in the end, that he is ma king a thousand dollars a year, before Doctor Lasy has heard the rat-tat at the door of his first patient. Now perhaps Dr. F. may, of the two, be the humbug; but I very much question whether he is the fool. Wh at applies to these two doctors, applies generally 7 to every trade and profession under the sun. Barring a lucky chance now and then, an adventurer will find that in the battle of life, every man must be his own trum peter. Sound y r our own charge, ride over every body. or somebody will sound his charge and nde over you. J Frying Leeches —A physician in one of the trio cities adjoining Boston recently prescribed leeches 1? a Pplied to one of his patients, a son of the tt-me raid Isle. The Irishman’s wife mistaking lle Word ‘'applied ” for for fried , in the hurried manner in which the direction was given, fried a lmessof the blood-suckers and gave to her siev n c toeat * At the next visit the p.hy* if A 1 ’ r (Hng P ad ent no better, he enquired ‘"‘O applied the leeches, as he had ordered. f ■ • 1 I ‘ ’ SUre and 1 did,” replied the woman, “1 nn ]em ln . a little nice butther, but Pathrick, o’ fr n J at1 ’ sa * d he’d rather be after eatin’ a dish 0 J ne and grubs.’* The doctor looked amazed. Ippr.i ° U r„ c ? n t to say that \ r ou fried the i he ejaculated. i .. ITi y hopes of all the saint’s blissins, I did,” “and it would ha’done your soul good thim e ’’ W eaut d' ul * cooked the little squirming ‘‘,y° u did n’t give them to your husband to exclaimed the physician, with increased a stooishment. F J “TV^ e > d * d 5 iverv son of ’em/’ . j k y°° to P ut them on bis stomach?” doctor, interrogatively. “Fix, and I did,” she replied, “and if poor Patrick didn’t swallow ’em down the wrong they are on his stomach now.” The physician said no more, but administering a powerful emetic to the patient, he mizzled. In a few days afterwards the woman met the doctor, when she complimented him on the wonderful effect of fried leeches! and declared that her dear Pathrick “ was as well as iver.” Turkish Gallantry .—A Mexican, when you praise his horse, immediately replies that the horse is at your service ; which means no more than whn in Fngland you write to a man, that you are his “obedient humble servant.” A late Turkish ambassador in England actually did what the Mexican phrase professes to do. When anv lady happened to praise one of the handsome shawls that decorated his person, he immediately piesented it to her. This led to. a very general expression of admiration for his excellency’s shawls, and in consequence to a great diminution of the ambassadorial wardrobe. At last, when his excellency’s stock was reduced to the one he wore, upon a lady’s loudly expressing her admi ration of its beauty, instead of his former reply, “Madame, it is at your service,” he said, with Turkish composure, but with more than Turkish gallantry, “Madame, I am glad you like it; I shall wear it for your sake.” Good Night! —“ Good Night! In that express ion of kindness how sweet and soothing a senti ment is conveyed. The toils of the day over— the fervent heat of noon is past —the mandening pursuit after gain is suspended—and mankind, sunk in the arms of sleep, enjoy a temporary asylum from the care of mind and enervation of body. Even from guilt beneficent nature with holds not the solace of repose, and passing through the “ivory gate of dreams ” the days of youth, of happiness, of innocence, in shadow flit before the soul. Insupportable, indeed, would be the heavy tribulation which, in our pilgrimage through life we must endure, were it not for those intermit tent seasons of rest which are alike the privelege of the houseless wanderer and the the palaced lord to enjoy. And night, gentle night, is the tender nurse that woes the toil-exhausted frame to sleep its cares in calm forgetfullness. The wise provision of na ture indicated the season for repose; and her be nifleent laws are reverenced and obeyed by all save the being for whose comfort and happiness they were .chiefly promulgated. When the sun withdraws from the heavens, and the earth is shrouded in darkness, the labors of industry cease—the flowers closing their petals, defended from the chilling dews of evening, and that sweet watchman of the grove, the Nightingale, thrills forth in wild and varied cadences the parting song —“ Good Night.” Cynthia and her glittering train of stars robed in the grandeur of eternal light, come forth and hover above the earth, and its children like fair- and holy spirits keeping vigils over mortal sleepers, and preserving them from the influence of the powers of darkness. The Gentleman. —No man is a gentleman, who without provocation, would treat with incivility the humblest of his species. It is a vulgarity for which no accomplishments of dress can ever atone. Show me the man who desires to make every one happy around him, and whose greatest so licitude is never to give just cause of offence to any one, and I will show you a gentleman by nature, and by practice, though he may never have worn a suit of broad cloth, nor ever heard of a lexicon. lam proud to say, for the honor of our species, that they are men, in every throb of whose hearts, there is a solicitude for the welfare of mankind, and whose every breath is perfumed with kindness. Crab fishing. —Brickell, in his “ History of North Carolina,” gives the follewing instance of the extraordinary canning manifested by the racoon. It is fond of crabs, and when in search of them will stand by the side of a swamp and hang its tail over into the water; the crab mis taking it for food, are sure to lay hold of it; and as soon as the beast feels them pinch he pulls them out with a sudden jerk. He then takes them to a little distance from the water’s edge; and in devouring them is careful to get them cross wavs in his mouth, lest he should suffer from his nippers. The Chaplain’s boy of a man-of-war being sent out of his own ship on an errand to another, the two boys were comparing notes about their man ner of living. “ How often,” said one, “do you go to prayers now?” “Why,” answered the other “in case of a storm or any other danger.’ “Ay,” said the first, “there’s some sense in thal, but my master makes us pray when there’s no more occasion for it than for my leaping over board.” Politeness —lt is remarked by someone that “ excess of ceremony shows want of good breed ing.” This is true. Nothing is more troblesome than overdone politeness, it is worse than an over done beefsteak. A truly well bred man makes every person around him feel at ease ; he does not throw civilities about him with a shovel, nor toss compliments in a bundle, as he would hay with a pitch fork. There is no evil under the san more intolerable than ultra politeness. It is quite wonderful what a fund of conver sation one has with one’s self, when one is left alone for a few minutes, after an hour or two of that excitement during which the mind at one moment has enough to do in calculating what the body is to do next. This conversation is some times severe, according to the circumstances of the cases and character of the person, or rather of the persons concerned. Poetry Sobered Down. —l’m thinking of the time, Kate, when setting by thy side, and picking beans, I gazed on thee, and felt a peacock’s pride. In silence leaned we o’er the pan, and neither spoke a word ; but the rattling of the beans, Kate, was all the sound we heard. Thy auburn curls hung down, Kate, and kissed thy lilly cheek, thy azure eyes half filled with tears, bespoke a spirit meek. To be so charmed as I was then, had ne’er before occurred, when the rattling of the beans, Kate, was all the sound I heard. 1 thought it was not wrong, Kate, so leaning o’er the dish, as you snatched up a lot of beans, I snatched a nectared kiss; a sudden shower made blind my eyes, I neither saw nor stirred, but the rattling of the beans, Kate, was all the sound I heard. A 3’oung candidate lately presented himself before a certain medical society for examination and, if accepted was to receive a degree from the society. The censors went on with the ex amination, so far as to find him grossly ignorant. His embarrassment and mortification had thrown him into a violent sweat. In thick pickle, one of the censors asked him what course he would take with a patient afflicted with rheumatism : he replied, I would sweat him, —‘Well,’ said the censor; ‘ and what method would ymu take to sweat him?’ The poor fellow, who began to be a little angry upon the occasion, replied, ‘i would send him here, I swear to be examined Anecdote. —A countryman sowing his ground, two smart fellows riding that way, one of them called to him with an insolent air, “Well, honest fellow, ’tis your business to sow, but we reap the fruit of your labor.” To which the countryman replied, “’Tis very likely you may, .for I am sowing hemp.” Error of the Press —lt is strongly suspected that the account of a “diamond as large as a hen’s egg,” said to have been found in California, was an error of the compositor, and should have been printed “ a hen’s egg as large as a dia mond.” m&mm z &and .
