True politeness can but make Tjotg and honor out f hate ; Can but move the coldest heart; Make the fountains to upstart, "Which were thought forever pressed From the dead, unfeeling breast.. True politeness, people say, Drives dislike and hate away ; - Hides from view each wanting . charm, " ; ' Shields one oft from many a harm ; Makes fair nature quite complete; " Makes our hearts with" oy replete. : . j : ' . True politeness, like the rain . Falling, on the parched grain, Watering thirsty fields and woods fWith.its "cool, refreshing flood, ; "Makes -the. drooping soul rejoice, Chimes in sweetly with the voice. True politeness,, wondrous art, . AYins respect from every heart, Gains a friend all unawares ; Many a wound alike repairs ; ' Shows a heart and soul refined ; Shows a cultivated mind. " True politeness, hke the sun' Sheds abroad on every one. In -the brightness of the day, Many a warm and pleasant ray : Then the shadows that are cast Are the memories of the past.

It has nobly withstood the opposition of ail croakors, sluggards and . demago- s:ues, botu . witmn. ana witnoiu the ranks of thu regiiilar profes sion. It has survived tne shocks and coiivulsions of war, and still lives, a bright and shining light amid the glaring demagogues of this age, and the general demor alization which now, more than ever before, pervades all the pur suits and professions or lite.

Many of these men have - refuse edto apply for membershipin our Society, because tliey know it has no congeniaiity for others than gentlemeh;andmen of devoi tion, and prof jessional progress. 1 : This is the just estimate placed upon it by the leading represent ftativc men of the State, and this. most enlightened portion of the. community extends to its -objects their warm sympathy and support; and bids the Society Godspeed. The same sentiment has been echoed and re-echoed for it all over the country, and its achieve ments in the career of science and humanity, and -in elevating the medical profession, receive public acknowledgments and admiral tion in every State in the Union. , :The. physician who loves hia profession, arid is really devoted to the good of humanity, the best interest of his fraternity, and the welfare bt the: community, can not but advocate the aims of the Society : jet only one-third of the regular physicia lis of the State are members of that body. This is a painful and humiliat ing commentary upon the want of devotion and enterprise in the profession. Many of our best practitioners who. arc! with as in sympathy, still refuse to recruit our ranks.- ' . u The Society has been migrato ry iii order that we may go to the very doqr of every physician good and true, and thus enable him to come and help us in pur onslaught upon ignorance, denia gogism and unprincipled viola tion of the great code of Medical Ethics. There is no I such thing as standing still in ouri profession and the pb siciaii wliu - tlvns noi move onward,-in the glorious march of progress, must take the downward grade, with those' stragglers and drones who hang upon the outskirts, stumbling blocks, to ba crushed by the ad vancing wheels ot civilization.

The instinct of Auimais. ' Mr. D. A. Spalding, in a paper read before the British Associa tion, gave the. results of some very interesting experiments which he has been making with a view to solving the question, whether, the power of animals to estimate - di.stance,f and perceive direction, bymearis xjf sight and hearing, "is really an' instinctive one, or is, as some hold, only the resuli of rapid learning from ex perience and itnitatiou. Against the instinctive character of these perceptfons it is argued, that, as distance means movement, loco motion -the very esseuce of the idea, is such as cannot be taken in by the ey-e pr ear,; that what the varying sensatious of sight and hearing correspond to. must, be got at by moving over the ground by experience. "The results, how ever, of experiments oh chickens were wholly in favor of the in stinctive nature of these percep tions! Chickens kept in a state ot blindness by ! various devices, from one to three days, when placed in the liht under a set of ca&fully prepared conditions, gave conclusive evidence against the theory, that the perceptions of 'distance and direction by the eve . ' .1 'I. '! " A " are tne result oi associations form ed in the experience of each indi vidual bte. Often, at the end of two minutes; they followed with their eyes the movements of craw ling insects, turning their heads with all the precision of. an old fowl. In from two to fifteen minutes they pecked at some ob ject, showing not merely, an in stinctive perception of distance, but an original ability to measure distance with! something like in fUUiblo accuracy. If bevond tho . 1J 1 or ran up to the object of their pursuit, and may be said to have invariably struck it, never missing by more than a hair's-breadth ; this, too, when the specks at which .theystruch were no bigger than the smallest visible dot .or an i.

Voiin Men anil AVomeiiof o:ir Clitirclies. It is said of Solomon that 'his wives turned away his heart after other gxds Just as truly as that tho tree-frog acquires the color of what ever it adheres to, so by a law in herent in our moral constitution, we are made to resemble those whom we receive into intimate relations. The influence of Solomon's wives sapped the very foundation of His faith and rendered him indiileiect to all religion. Many there are, who in old age re view the bitterness of a misspent, hfe, because those who shared its hours frittered them away in selfish . pleasures and superficial excitemets. Here is a man who came into tho church in his youth.- In the fresh ness of his new born hopes and af fections, he displayed a zeal . that was worthy, of the cause, and gave promise of a christian career which, like the shining light, should grow brighter and brighter unto the j per- ' feet! day.. Seeing that it 'was not good to be alone, ho married But instead of uniting with one posses ' sing the 'ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,' one whose aims, abpira tions, affections and hopes were in accord to a pageant a silly, giddy devotee of pleasure and fashion. What has followed ? Sampson has been shorn of his locks ! f Pious zeal . has been quenched, holy aspirations have been stifled, grand purposes have been thwarted, a brilliant light has been extinguished ; and now the man is ripe for the grave looks back upon a hfe that has been a nui sance to the church, a stumbling block to the world, and a disgrace to himself. ! i : i i Heaven save you, ' young man o the church, from linking your for tunes to those of a gay and godless ' woman ; for she will be shackles to your feet, palsy to your hands &y thorn to your side and a dagger tb your heart. . , - ' The same: caution is needful to our cnnstian young wojaen. In tuo present demoralized condition of so, ciety, they cannot be too careful. A true husband will be to a wife, what' the sturdy forest oak is ; to the ten der dependent vine a supporter He will encourage every holy desire and pious longing of her soul, and . thereby assist her to perform, what, in the love of God she believes is tho mission of her life. Better, tori I thousand times better, for a Chris tian woman to bear life's burdens and fight life's battles alone, than to bind herself to a scoffer, or a miser, orr a gambler, or any one whose spirit and lifej'are not in sympathy with her own, and whoso influence would quench the ardor of her devotion to that Being to whom she hasj public ly vowed eternal fidelity. Let parents in advising their chil dren upon this subject, riso above all sordid and mercenary "motives. An Athenian, who was hesitating whether lo give his daughter in marriage-to' a man6f gi-eat moral worth but.a small fortune, or to a rich man yvho had nothing else to recommend him, asked Themistocles what he ought to do. The old phlilos- pher replied, "I would bestow my .daughter upon a man without money y rather than upon money without a . 'man." Such advice may not be in appropriate to parents of this day and generation.
