PIITSTON GAZETTE. few minutes before there was one ol those kind, knowing, modest, benevolent, moth-1 eriy Indies, who has the honor ol being aunt to a whole neighborhood, fixed in cacli corner of the room, and several of those who were growing up to be aunts, (sostttn as their medical science should entitle them to the appellation, and their predecessors removed from office) standing in various pans of the room; all looking Wise and all watching. 1 saw one who had thrown.a carding apron over her shoulders, as she crossed the street in haste, not to be behind, soon begin to whisper to her next friend, with a significant, half-smothered smile, and a consequential wag of the head. The example was soon imitated, in a general way, by every good lady but one, present, who had turned tho age of forty, —the time when they graduate aunts and doctoresses—; and that one stood half bent over the sick person, biting her nails and listening. From this posture and employment of these good " kelp-toatet," I onncludcd that they had adopted the rule of wild turkeys, (and for aught! know, of lame geese) who, whilst the flock feetf, sit one to watch. I pitied the poor stranger, for 1 perceived that he was to be arraigned, so soon as the conclave could collect in another room, and the lady-watchful should make her report; and, from what I had often before »oen, I knew that he was to be immolated. 1 accordingly repaired, invisibly, to the room where they convened, and "attended in the judgement hall."* But lack-a day! what did I hear? In five minute? the poor doctor had not enough medical reputation left to admit of saying with propriety that it was ragged. It was all filehcdaway in a scramble, or, as children say, " in a scrabble," I waited to see whether his reputation was all that would be assailed, and soon perceived that his personal appearance was tho foundation of their judgement. " Did you not see how he looked," said one, "I'm sure he anything." A second said, " I don't believe he knows what ails the child, for I never he.e rd of the medicine before, th.it he'i ordered." " Who knows anything about him 1 whore did he come from ?" asked a third. " I believe ho may as well go back again, for he'll never get anv practice here," replied a fourth. "Did you ever see anybody have hair that was blue, before?" said a fifth. Here it became too much for my feelings to endure with paticnce. And, as I do not like to bo disturbed from my tranquility, or to Sutler my passions to dishonor my maternal connexions, I retired, and left the good ladies to vnburden themselves. This consolation, however, I carried with me, that these ingenuous aunts had prorounced judgement Without any real knowledge of his general or professional character; that he must, however worthy in himself, pass this high court of female' judicature, or ordeal, for the usual length of time, and then, with a pliant vcrsatality of conduct, which can accommodate to any change of circumstances which were likely to ensue, at the end of that period of time, they could unblushingly recommend him to others, and employ him in their own families " as the best doctor in tho World/' East, possessed of a good on all our New England boys are, and of the most Indomitable industry and ersevcrance, and was working on the farm of a neighbor by the month. Mary, on going on some errand lo the next house, met him on the road, with the usual salutation—" Good morning, Mr. D. which are before them.

But there arc rich sources of comfort, in hours of trial. There are brighter and purer consolations for tho mind, which will light their path with a glow, and raise their thoughts to high and noble themes. By a course of intellectual culture and discip. line,by strengthening the faculties, by reading and study, the devious pathway of life will be smoothed and cheered. Now, while the mind is fresh and free from care, it should be stored with intellectual treasures. Read, then, my yomg friends, with careful and kindly attention, those beautiftil writings which leave upon the understanding and the heart, impressions which will prove a lasting source of pleasure in after life, when the duties and responsibilities of your future station will have thrown their claims around youD and bound you do\vn to the narrow circle of home; that sweet and f acred spot, which can bo rendered so attractive, so holy in its influence by the well-cullivated, and wellordered mind of the wife, the mother, the Sister. These elevated subjects, instead of W ing looked Upon os unimportant and unattainable, Would become happy occupations, and familiar household topics. Manners, customs and opinions, are hold in sway by females of cultivated intellect. The moral tono of society will be control] • ed by them. Coarseness and vulgarity, contempt of sacred things, foppery and self-oouceited arrogance, wouM hide their heads. While purity and truth, correct taste, and high moral sentiment, would pervade society. Vv here piety is a conspicuous trait in the character of those who constitute the chief charm of the home circle, a hallowed influence will not only be seen and felt there, but it will reach to eternity. The refined, the beautiful, the intellectual, acting upon a prim ciple which opposes vice, and advocates the j purifying doctrines of the gospel, will effect changcs that will carry them all who come within its atmosphere. Let all my young friends, then, be diligent in cultivating their minds, and improving their faculties. You are blessed with kind parents* who are solicitous for your future good.— You have countless advantages for intellectual culture. You are now in the spring-time of life, your minds are freah. Soon you will come to years of womanhood, soon the precious hours of leisure will have flown away in the oblivion of the past.

'y- ring the ensuing years, Every woman, so soon as she bccomcs a mother, feeling that she may, and probably shall, have need of medical assistance in her family, immediately lays claim to umperial jurisdiction respecting medical men, and medical matters. About seventeen in every twenty (should this be thought stating the thing too largely, sny three out of eight, which will not be Far from the truth) in their own modest estimation, arc perfectly taught physicians, and arc, without doubt, fully adequate to pronounce decidedly upon the physician's skill and science, by means of the Icnowledge which they have had handed down from their mothers, and which their mothmera doiived from somebody who had it from "the Indian," "the negroD" "some old squaw," some " cancer doctor who went and lived among the Indians," or "some old man who came along and had a pack on his back." At some time or other, some such person, by some such means, has communicated some such knowledge to somebody or other, which produces the most wonderful effects by way of instruction. In possession of this knowledge, the women know, so soon "as they have had the. name of the disorder, what will certainly cure it." By means oi this, they can certainly determine whether the physician, who has spent bis life in the regular acquisition of medical knowledge, knows anything or not. They tcanl but opportunity to enquire of him whether "Peppermint, FeaiherfcwD Bonesel, Mayweed, or Tansy ten, is not good in this case f"— If he u so unfortunate as to differ from them, and so honest as to speak his own sentiments, and to trust his own judgement, rather thten rely on an old tea-|Dot full of herb-drink, in compliance with their superior knowledge ; iu possession of this information, they can at once determine that he know s nothing at all. Under those circumstances, his situation is noarly desperate. But if he should be audacious enough to difTer from only one "good old nurse," who knows how to mix an injection, direct how the pipe should be oiled, and how the dose should be administered, if he cannot immediately make his p«ace with her, he had better make his will without delay, or pack up his duds and bo off. If he but commences the contest, he has to learn by terrible experience, that " from that war there is no discharge." Oh I how 1 have pitied such young men, when I have known of their being tailed to visit a sick person, during the two years. Often have I been present (though unseen) when such a one made his debut.

WfTM How truthlul is the saying, that "woman's influence is felt in all the walks of life." Its silent workings *re seen and felt on tho manners and the morals of all who come within its atmosphere. By her example the irreligious and profligate are awed. Vice in all its forms is restrained by her gentle influence on the side of virtue. Al! that is lolly—all that can elevato or raise the emanate from woman. The Coarse, vulgar jestD the impure conversation, can all be checked by the simple, silent rebnko of a dignified and Well cultivated mind. No matter how humblo her sphere, or how elevated, it is woman who exerts an influence, who has the power to check the vicious and reform the bad. How shocking is a vulgar woman. No man, however depraved himself, can admire a Woman who is immoral ; who is low and coarse in her tastes and pursuits. All that is pure, that is lovely, and of good report, is expected from her. .

Cultivate a laste for literature, and the higher order of intellectual attainments. Then the home circle will be the attractive centre. Then will be seen the parent, the brother, with the sisler, feasting their minds on those rich treats, which bear the impress of genius and oi taste, the productions of powerful minds whose works will bear a perpituity ol praise, from the great and the good.— The ficticious fancies of the novelist would have no charm for such a circle. The elegant pursuits ol a refined and well-direoted mind, sheds its happy influence over them. The tear does not 11 nv over the sickly pages of the novelist or novelette; but (he tales of real sorrow meet with a tear of sympathy, and the mind swells when deeds of virtue and bravery are recorded, and is prepared to sustain real trials, and practice those deeds of benevolence which have for tlieir object the good of their fellow-creatures. Need 1 say to my young friends that I feel an anxious solicitude to improve them, and to iru duce them to seek for those pure and elevating pursuits, which will enable them lo exert on influence.upon the future tastes of all around tliem, and be productive of incalculable good.
