His emotion became insupportable, and to conceal it he hastily left the room and retired to a private apartment, until he should have, in some degree, mastered his feelings. The cuick eye of Arthur Normdnville soon noted his father's ab sence ; and ii part guessing the cause, he declined dancing and descer deel to the library. Opening the door he perceived Ins father standing near the fire. 4kYou are not ill I hope my dear sir?" Mtid Arthur.

of Lacy Emily and Arthur took place, and the latter days of" Sir Robeit Normat.ville were soothed by the attentions he received from his bcautilul daughter in law, ana enlivened oy the puytul ana endearing wiles of her children. The Dandy' Creed I believe that a gentleman is any person with a tolerable suit of clothes, and a watch and snuff box in his pocket. I bciieve that adoration is due only to a fine woman or her purse ; and that a woman can keep one secret namely, her age. I believe that my character would be lost bevond redemption if I did not change my dress 4 times a day, bilk my chnedcr, cheat my tailor, wear a Pe icrsham tie, and patronize Hoby for boots. I believe that playing at rouge et noir is the only honorable way ol getting a livelihood that a man of honor never pays his tradesmen, because they are ua pack of scoundrels;" and that buying goods means ordering them without the purpose of paying. I believe that debt is a necessary evil. I believe the word dress means naked ness in families; that husband implies a person engaged to pay a woman's debts, that econcmy means pusillanimity; that a coachman is an accomplished nobleman; and that any person talking about decency is a bore. Finally, I believe that there is not a cleverer or prettier fellow in the town than myself and that, as far as regards the women, 1 am altogether irresistible.

There is good sense, great sense, fine sense, and high sense, besides no sense and little sense ; but the best kind of ' senae in my estimation, is that whichVis vulgarly denominated common sense Yout gcod sense is slways running away, with itself ; your greut sense is sure to have mischief at the bottom of it ; ycur fine sense makes broken hearts ; your high sense broken heads ; your no sense goes blundering to the evil one often, and your little sense is not much better ; but common sense fills a nun's purse with dollars, his cellar with beef ard pork, and his fireside with a good wie and good children common sense is fa the best - Z.

THE public are hereby informed that an institution is established and in successful operation in the city of New-Yi rk, denominated "The Reformed Medical College;" under the jurisdiction of the reformed medical society of the United States that this institution has arisen from its own intrinsic merits, notwithstanding the opposition of illiberal and interested phj sicians, to an eminence which has exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its friends. Animated by the flourishing state of this college, and feeling an ardent desire still further to disseminate the valuable system cf practict therein taught, a second school of the same character was established in December 1830, in the town of Worthiryrton, denominated "The Ohio Reformed Medical College." This college was chartered by the state as a literary institution; and, subsequently, the board of trustees adopted the above, as the medical branch of their institution, where all the various branches of the healing art are taught on the reformed system. A numbcrof young gentlemen have here commenced their studies, and numerous others have applied for admission. Its locality presents the greatest advantages to facilitate researches in medical botanv: the surroundineaour.trv abounding: with a ereat variety of incdi cinal plants and vegetable productions. It is situated near the centre of the stitte. on the Whetstone river, nine miles north of Columbus, on the northern turnpike, and is one of the most healthy and delightful tillages in the western country. '1 he ground attached to the college contains every variety of soil for a botanical garden. The necessity for an institution of this kind, under the direction of competent professors, must be strikingly evident to all who have reflected on the subject of medical reform. Heie a system of practice is taught, altogether superior to that taught in other schools, or pursued by other physicians; the remedial agents being derived from the vegetable kingdom. The efficacy of this practice has been proved, for more than half a ccntuiy, combining the improvements of the most distinguished reformers of the present or any other age. Its superiority has been so repeatedly demonstrated, as to satisfy the most wavering and sceptical. It has been tested in every variety and form of disease; and its salutary effects witnessed where the mercurial or mineral treatment has been pursued without any beneficial effect, but to the reat injury of the constitution. The benefits to be derived by an attendance at this institution will, we trust, be truly appi eciated by those ho wish to acquire a correct knowledge of the healine art. i Here the student will be taught all the nio dern practice which is deemed necessary, iri adciticn to tho botanical; and in conse quince of his residing near the institution ind pursuing a systematic course cf studies, combining each cf the departments of ms dicine, he may acquire a knowledge of both in a short space of time, and at a very small expense in comparison to that of other nodical institutions. . The regular fall and winter course oT lectures in this institution willcommence on the first Monday in October, and continue six months or longer, during which time a full course of lectures on all the different departments of medical science will be delivered, with daily examinations. &c. 1st, on Anatomy and Physiology; 2d, Materia Medica and Pharmacy; 3d, Theory and practice of Physic and Surgery; 4th, Midwifery; 5th, Chymistry; Cthi Theoretical and Practical Botany; Tth, Medical Jurisprudence, &c. &c. The spring and summer course will be more particularly appropriated to botany, materia medica, comparative anatomy, and clinical practice, &c. i ncre oemg an lnnrniary connected witn the College the students will nave the beneui oi v.uuieai rracuce, oy wnicn ine prac ,rl tical part ot medicine wul be acquired the theory. Every student, on graduating in Worthington College, will become a member of the Reformed Medical Society of the United Spates, from v hich he will receive a diploma and reports of all the improv ements of its different members, and be entitled to all its constitutional privileges and benefits. There will be no specified time to complete a course of studies, but whenever a student is qualified to pass an examination, he will receive a diploma. REQUISITIONS. The qualifications for admission intothe school will be 1st. a certificate cf a good moral character; 2d. a good English education. TERMS. The price for qualifying a person topractice and access to all the advantages of the institution will be one hundred and fifty dol lars in advance, m fifty dollars in ad ance, and or-3 hundred and twenty-five dollars at the close of his studies.
