"The Faculties," for intellectual abilities, moral worth and professional acquirements, will compare favorably with the most distinguished in our country. The medical faculty constitutes an anomaly in this or any other coun tryall of them are able lecturers and the liestof teacheis. Those who will contemplate our geographical position, and the extent of our population, ran have no doubt as to the eligibility of our situation for an ehtei prise of the kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year, we deny that AST OTHLR OITT HAS MOBK. A common error exists in the niimls of many students relative to the place of studying medicine; tlione who in tend practicing amoqg the diseases of trie West and South should certainly educate themselves at a school whose Faculty are practically acquainted with those dis eases. That the public may be satisfied of the permanency of this school, we feel it onr duty to state, that the Trustees and Faculty form ai siT in' action, whicli augurs well for its future success; ami that the peculiar internal organ ization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.

June 19th. 079-tf. i Can't vou introduce a friend: aiked the lirst speaker. "Well," suid the other, "1 don't know lhat I mighn't; particularly as I have heard them speak of vou. They said you were a remarkably good looking fellow." "No! really now! did they! I declare you quite flntter mv vanitv." said our friend, fttraightening himself a little, giving his shirt collar a little more altitude, and then twisting his delicate moustache with his gloved fingers. "Did they say any thing more?" - "Oh! yes, they said ;i good deal, but, I don't think I can tell you the rest; it would he a viola lation of confidence, you know, and I am sure they would never forgive me, if they should find out'that I had betrayed them. Such things should he kept sacred, you know." This excuse did not by any means satisfy our friend. In fact, as was always the ease when ho himself was in question, his curiosity wasarous cd; he was anxious to know what the ladies had said about him; lie coiildn't-rest tjll he found out; he coaxed, he persuaded, ho solicited, but all in vain, tho obstinate disturber of his peace would not give any satisfaction. At last, after exhaust ing every expedient to extract the desired infor mation, our friend invited his companion to take a drink, then a second, and a third, and finally the gong sounded for dinner and found his curiosity tingratificd. Heizing his obstinate tormentor by the arm, the inquisitive individual said, "Come, Tom, let's go to dinner, and we'll discuss the matter over some line champagne." "With all my heart. I never refuse a good offer, nnd as I know the quality ofMudge & Wil son's champagne, I don't think I can let this op portunity slip." Up stairs they accordingly went, and seated at the dinner table the cross question was put in operation with redoubled vigor. Claret and Hurgundv, and Champagne were ordered; the most delicate dishes were placed before the pos sessor of the precious information. But all the temptations failed. He would not tell. He could not sacrifice his honor by disclosing a private conversation; besides it might have a bad effect, and in short, it was altogether impossible. Our friend, however, was not to be discomfitted in this way; he continued his attentions and his per secutions till the cloth was removed, till the des sert was placed on the table and demolished, and till at last he and his companion were the only persons remaining, finally mc latter arose, sauntered to the door, and stepped out on the ca pacious portico, where, tooth-pick in hand, he took a seat in order that he might quietly enjoy the re membrance of his fine dinner. Our friend, though, was not disposed to let the matter drop; he drew tips' chair, deliberately sat down and expressed his fixed determination not to stir till he had found out what those ladies had said about him. , , .. "Well," said the other, "il you re resolved 1 might as well tell you; though I couldn't have done so before, for fear f spoiling your appe tite. Those ladies said that you were a line looking ft How, and I had t,o agree with them in that " i- . . - "Well, well; what then?! Yon told mc that before," "Well, in the next place they said it waa a pity you were good looking, for you were the greatest simpleton they ever knew." On hearing this reptv our trienu rose irom his seat, bowed politely, remembered that he had an appointment at precisely that hour, and retired precipitately, lie was not seen aoout itie oi. Charles before 'dinner for some time'. 'afterwards. The reason we leave the reader to judge. .V. O. Pknyxtne. Tun MKC1UNICAX LABOR os a Nkwspapkr.

Napoleon's face, after wards so famed for its classic mould, was, during this period of starvation, harsh and angular in its lineaments, with projecting check bones.
