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 snd the beatof tcacheis. Those who will contemplate our geographical position, and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as to the eligibility of our situation for an enteipriseof thekind. As to health, including all seasons of the year, we deny that ant othlr oitt has more. A common error exists in the minds of many students relative to the pUce of studying medicine; those who in tend practicing among the diseases of tne West and South should certainly educate themselves st 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 our duty to state, that the Trusteea and Faculty form a i-hit in action, which augurs well for iu future success; and that the peculiar internal organ ization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.

During a visit to a friend in the country, I was enjoying a walk in his garden before break fast on a delightful morning in June, when my attention was suddenly arrested by the pensie attitude of a little boy, the son of my host, whom I obwnred standing before a rose btih, which he appeared to contemplate with much dissatisfac tion. I inquired what had attracted him to this particular rose-bush, which presented but a for lorn appearance when compared with iis more blooming companion. He replied: "This rose bush is my own; papa gave it to me in spring, and promised that no one should touch it. I have taken great pains with it; and as it was cov ered with beautiful roses last summer, I hoped to have had many fine bouquets from it; but all my rare and watching have been useless; I see I shall not havajonc full-blown rose after all. "And yet," said I, "it appears to be as healthy as any other bush in the garden; tell me what you have done for it, as you say it has cost you so much pains?" "After watching it for some time," he replied, "I discovered a very great number ol small buds, "but they were almost concealed Jb.Xlhe, leaves Lwhkkrew liii&y,U Jhe the greater part of these, and my "little buds then looked very well. I now found, as I watch them, that though they grew larger every day, the green outside continued so hard, that I thought it im possible for the delicalc ruse leaves to force their way out; I therefore picked them open; but the pale, shrivelled blossoms which I found within never improved, but died, one after another. Yesterday morning, I discovered one bud which the leaves had till then hidden from me, and which was actually streaked with- the- beautiful red of the flower confined in it; I carefully open ed and loosened it, in the hope that the warm sun would help it to blow; my first thought this morn- a was of the pleasure 1 should nave in gather ing my one precious bud for mama but look at it now!" The withered, discolored petals to which the hild thus directed my attention did indeed pre sent a melancholy appearance, and I now under stood the cause of the looks of disappointment which had at first attracted my attention. 1 ex plained to the zealous little gardener the mischief which he had unintentionally done by removing the leaves and calyx with which nature had cov ered and enclosed the flower until all its beauties should be ready for devclopement; and having pointed out to linn some buds which had escaped his care, 1 lelt him full of hope that, by waiting patiently for nature to accomplish her own work he might yet have a bouquet oi his own roses to present to his mother. As I pursued iriy walk, it occurred to me that this childish incident suggested an answer to the question asked by Dr. Johnson, "What becomes of all the clever children!" Too often, it is to be feared, are the precious human buds sacrificed to the same mistaken zeal that led to the destruc tion of the roses which had been expected with so much pleasure by Iheir little owner. Perhaps a few hints stisrirested not by fanciful theory, but by practical experience in the mental training of children mav hcln to rescue some little ones . ----- ... j . j ..... from the blighting influences to wtucn tney arc too often exposed. The laws bv which the physical developemcnt of every infant, during the earliest period of its existence, is regarded, seem to alioru a striking lesson by the analogy they bear to these laws on which the subsequent mental devclopement depends. On the babe s first entrance into the world, it must be led only witn lood suituiue to its delicate organs of digestion; on this depends its healthful growth, and likewise the gradual strengthening of those organs. Its senses must at first be acted upon Very gently: too strong a light, or loo loud a noise, may impair its sight or hearing for life. The little limbs of a young infant must not be allowed to support the body before they have ac quired firmness sufficient for that task, otherwise thev will become deformed, and the whole sys tern weakened: and last, though not least, fresh and pure air must be constantly inhaled by the lungs, in order that they may supply vigor to the who e frame. A I eiiliirhtcncu parents are ac quainted with these laws of nature, and generally act on them; but when owing to judicious T man agement their children emerge from babyhood in full enjoyment of the animal organs, and with muscles and sinews'growing firmer every d;iy in consequence ol tiic exercise wnicn tneir nine owners delight in giving them, is the same judi cious management extended to the mind, of which the bodyiias been so carefully furnished, is only the outer case! In too many cases it is not. Too often the tender mind is loaded with infor mation which it has no power of assimilating, and which, consequently, can not nourish it. The mental faculties, instead of being gradually exercised, are overwhelmed; parents who would check with displeasure the efforts of a nurse who should attempt to make their infant to walk at too early a period, are ready eagerly to emorace any system of so-called education which offers to do the same violence to the intellect; lorgetting mat distortion of mind is at least as much to be dread ed as that of the body, while the motives held out to encourage tho little victims are not calcu lated to produce a .moral atmosphere conducive either to good or great mental attainments. Children are sometimes met witn inougn lew and far between whose minds seem ready to drink in knowledge in whatever form or quality it may be presented to them; and the testimony of Dr. Combe, as well as any other judicious wri ters, proves the real state of the brain in such ea- sps. and also the general late oi tne poor iiuieprou isies. Such children, however, are not the sub ject of these observations, of which ihe object i to nlead for those promising buds which are closelv encased in their hard bot protecting cov ering; to plead for them especially at that period when the 'beautiful red streak." appears; in oth er words, when, amid the thoughtless sports 8nd simple studies of childhood, the intellect begu: to develop itself, and to seek nourishment from ll that ia nresented to it. There exists at the period alluded to, a readiness in comparison, and a shrewdness ol observation, wnicn wigm m profitably employed in the great work ot educa tion.

On the contrary, the presence of this ingredient (alas I so common) is the fruft- lui source ol dyspepsia, with all its horrors f or constipulation ; of obstructed kidneys, and of various other ailments too well known to ns med ical men. On the contrary, putt water (L e. fil tered rain water) is one of the finest solvent in nature, and 1 had with pleasure the suggestion Of the board of health for the supply of the metrop olis with pure water. All England knows the repute of the Malvern water, and its value con sists in its purity- scarcely a trace of saline or earthly ingredients being found in it ; the ab sence of limestone in that locality allowing the water of the district to filter through the gravel and sand, and thus returning to give health to the valetudinarian. As to the presence of lime in water being necessary for the preservation of our bones, your correspondent need Hot fear that his osseous fabric will tMome enfeebled by drinking pure water, since many articles of diet contain liosphate of lime. The following whimsical circumstances hap pened some time ago in Kilkenny t MA tailor. who was married to a very sickly woman, got enamoured of a young girl who lived in his neigh borhood, and on certain conditions he agreed to give her a promise in writing, to marry her Im mediately on the demise of his wife ; in conse quence of which Mr. Snip passed the following curious note of hand : "In two days after the demise of my present wife, I promise to marry Miss Moran or order, value received, under nlty pounds sterling. Given under my hand this sixteenth day of May, dir., J. Sullivan." Shortly after Miss Moran received the above note, she died, leaving it endorsed to a female friend, who also chanced to take fever and died before the tailor a wife ; however, on her sick bed, she also endorsed the note, and gave it to a a a .-I 1.1 1 cousin, whom tne tailor aosoiuteiy marneo, a greeahle to the endorsement, in two days after .i i -e i t. i ;J it. .-it tne ueatn oi nis wiir, anu ii is aai-j uie tauur anu t his wife are now living happily in the city of Kilkenny."
