Wilmington in Health and Disease.
BY J. B. PCRCELL, M D.
ItwaVlast May, add the elacritv with
which it3 first day was greeted by May
queens, and joyous youths had not yet died
away The vernal hue of Spring was in its
fullest tint. The showers of April had
started from the sod the modest daisy thfe
fragrant dahlia, odoriferous fly -catcher?.
The beautiful magnolia I with its leaves df
deepest green, and its pure white blossom;,
emitted a delicious fragrance, most grateft 1
to the sights arid to the sense of smell. The
earth was revolving a bright sun in a bright
sky to its meridian height " and. splendor.
No dark speck was visible on the horizoi.
Nothing presaged an interruption to tlje
outburst of genial good humor and fellow
feelingj Jocularity, was freely elicited, and
in its hilarious indulgence the jolt and the
jump along the plank-road - were forgotten
A rarer collection of high toned gentlemen
could not be found in this section of the
Stated Every one of-them were thorough
bred representatives of the Old North State
savej one. The latter fepresentedilic Uni ted i
States, and its army. More honorably could
this be done by no man. His Country first
andiliimself afterwards. A reference to this
will! sound strangely in distant ears, as it
Lhas.been so widely circulated that!- no body
lives here now-but rebels, and secessionists,
copperheads, aud traitors, and that every
body wearing the J uniform of the Govern
ment is shunned" as if a leper. Let the
flaunting lfe be nang out on the breeze, and
let it be wafted throughout the land. Strife,
contention is past; harmony, unity islivin,
and it will ere long cast every blemish be
hind, and put on the symetry of another life.
Leaving this matter to the, inevitable resujlt
of time, we return to'our seat in the rockff
way. Oiiward we speed over a bottom land,
and through; some thickly arborets, arid a
boreous ravines. At last we think we her
the ocean's roar, and the thought is soon fal
lowed with a vision, of the tempest tossed
spray, majestic looking oaks now gradually
appear, and very soon a broad expansive
lawn, and a manor adorn the picU'U'e. Its
spacious piazza soon resounded to the tread
of feet, and its many hahimocks swung j;o
and fro with occupants. Cigars, "and good
Old rye, Cognac,;and the best Sauterne arid
scuppfirnqng elevated the temperature Of
our bonhommie. As far as the eye could scdn
billow-rocked vessels rode wavingly alorg
the deep. The sky was beginning to change:
The wind had run to the East, In the creek
below that rounded the foot of the domaili,
wooly headed urchins were engaged in catch
ing pigflsh. Our very worthy host had liis
all shortly summoned to an oyster lunch. I
shall never forget the widespreading live,
oak beneath' whose protecting shade a sump
tuous feast was spread. It stretched forth
enormous limbs iu every direction largtr
than ordinary trees. Its head towered on
high. Inits branches crows for ages might
haye built their nest and fledged their call
low young. Generations must have in their
turn saf around its base, and listened to the
music of the mocking bird. Summer aftpr
summer have they perhaps danced innoceiit
hours away j and, roasted the fresh oysteir,
and eaten the pickle, and the buttered cake.
I The latter did we with much gulosity. ye
thought of the patriarchal days gone by, pi
the maty endearments which make Soutfi
erners cling to their Southern homes, and to
their penates: of the bloody strife that hald
but as yesterday swept like a simoom of de
struction over their fair sunny laud. Nbt
one present, but two, wh had not beenj a
tjirect agent in the revolution,'a combatant,
a leader.
Satisfied at length of this festive scene ye
roamed about, viewing this thing and' that
until we reached the residence of a gentle
man related to our generous entertainer.
Here we were shown many things of inter
est,, and a field laid out in nicely measured
ridges of peanuts. , Several monarchs of the
forest were also pointed out,; and their his
torv given. They sheltered many a Whig
Trom tory vengeance during the' dark dajys
of JTrn's tyranny, and Martin's .despotism.
Late in the evening we all sat dowujto
diniier. The young suckling 'lay stretched
UDon'an immense platter of silver. To der
seribe the whole would require more la!n
guage than at our preset command . Thiliii
der -was muttering far off in the distanjee.
It cauie rumbiiaji along the skies. We start
ed for Wilmington soondShatiajie vvovUl
have, did theuji not hidellf behind im
pervious clouds? Hardly hadwe beenMon
jtherrbad backwards when the' .storm bujrst
orth in full tury. borne ot us got preuy
well drenched. But pleasure nver com
plains. . I
We are so glad to notice here, eia$sdnt,
hat the facile and fluent peDS of theiessrs.
Locals are presenting -to the citizens the
crying necessity of a Charity Hospital. Tfiat
such an institution is not needed, is to assert
hat the City of Yilimngton does not exist.
That such a humane undertaking is not WOr-

man's couch, and at his dying bedside. The
Redeemer went about doing good, -, He heajed
the sick, the halt and the blind.- He coun
seled us to visit them, to tend them, to hjar-
bor them. Surely a work which he has dope,
a command which lie has given, ought! to
receive our every attention. He came to tree
man from the shackles of sih and death. He
caused to shine oh all the -cheering rays of

We know that no appeal is ever made to
woman in vain Our noble women, and our
manv- institutions of charity in pushin
forward the work of Christ, do more for the
protection of our people, rico and poor, from
the possibility of infectious diseases, than
our best system of municipal regulations.
Feed and shelter the poor of him who was
