The members of the, medical faculty, here and elsewhere, are great sticklers for what they term the regular practice. There ore ex ceptions however, to this general rule, and one notable instance we are about to relate. 213 In the summer of 'AS, about the period of the close of the Mexican war, one of his offi cers of our army—au amateur zoologist—re turning home from the scenes of his perils and his glory, brought with him a rare number of insects and animals, indigenous to Mexico.— lie put up for some time at the St. Charles Hotel, where his cabinet of natural curiosities -attracted much attention. Among them was a ichneumon fly, a repulsive looking ani pf the most destructive instincts, that would destroy and devour ants and other in sects w.th a most sanguinary rapacity. A gen 'tleman-whom for the noncc)vo shall call Juries, - was at the time stopping in the St Charles, and he formed fur the ichneumon a strong dislike; indeed, having once seen it, he could not bear again to look at it. Ire was a man of kindly nature and generous qualities. Ills temper was genial and sociable to a fault, end this some times led him into convivial excesSe's whioh - tended to chtiul a mind and confuse an under standing, which were otherwise strong,clear, and comprehensive. About the time we 'speak of ho indulgoOt such an extent in a debauch that, mania-I-y(4u followed. He was no sooner seized...with this disease, than the ichneumon seized upon his dipcmpered imagination. The single obnox ious animal multiplied into ten thousand.— They covered hi's body, he thought, and like so ninny vampires were sucking his lififo blood from him. He looked out into the room, and saw them engaged in a most deadly conflict with grotesque red and blue monkeys; and Ahoy were-drawn-up-in-a-solid-column all round" the mosquito bar to prevent Ids escape. nerves were unstrung, his brain was fe vered, and his distress of ma' could not hnvc been greater if his apprehensions had been founded on reality, instead of being as they were, the emanations of a disordered imagipa-. don.' Linder 1.17 a circumstances, his, friends concluded to send for Dr. *----,40n0 of our most eminent city physicians, with the vicW of his prescribing something to allay the nervous frritnbility of the patient. They did send for him, and soon,after, the doctor arriVod smok ing his octal; cifringiicdfiing about the 'antics of ichneumons or the pranks of rod monkeys. As he entered the roma, ho found the patient Sngaged in a vigorous conflict witlfsoMo imag inary enemy beneath tho mosquito bar,..ncting more, however, it would seem ; On the defen sive than offensive. Now lie would slap hands across his face as if to drive tiomething off his nose; nom ho midil draw up his knee and frialeti a spasmodic kick toward the foOt of the bed; now ho would make his- opeii hand. rO 7 sound on his shoulder, and now again on his thigh. The odds agninstddm seemed to be o= -vorpowering, yet !la-battled manfully: - The doctor sawiir once what Isis (iiqfi ' SC was, and at once he resolved to resort to a quick reme dy for its cure. you think, Docttir,". sai:l a friend of the patient-- who, Lys theway;:waa a regular practitioner pldebbi,c,Lny Would have titiellent effect in thin ease?" ~ .Don't think it youltl lic ,tvorth straw,". said tho aoctor, . .

"You'ilid--did you?" said'the doctor. "I did," said the bar-keeper. ' "What a pity," said the doctor, "that you did not publish the fact iu the columns of the - Aledical - Jo_urffal !" While this conversation was going on, poor Jones, who had taken lessons in boxing from Roper, was availing himself of his knowledge of the art of self-defence, to beat off the hide oils enemy. The doctor approached the bed, sifying,'"when he got there, "Halloo, Jones"—they were on terms of fa miliar intimacy with one anothei;—"halloo, Jones. what are you about—what aro you dri- ving at?" "Oh, doctor!" said poor Jones, the perspi ration running down his.face, and fear seated in his cycs--"oh, doctor, can't you drive off those ichneumons? Them - there I" (here he gave his ear a crack.) "That fellow was stri ing to get into my ear." " yod are troubled with tho'kelmeumons, 11TC you?" said the doctor. "Troubled - with them!" said Jones, r m tortured, I'm maddened to death with them!" "Well, I must ti'y and relieso you," said the' doctor, and laying his svgar cn the table, ho took up a boot-jack that lay before. him, and just as Jones hod turned over to have a tussle with an imaginary ichneumon, tits doctor gave him a lusty crack with the bodt-jadk an the posteriors,_ that made him bounce in the bed, which bounce made dm bed shake. "Halloo, doctor!" said Jones "what are you nGout 7" "Just chasing off the ichneumons," said the doctor; end he gave Jones — another lick with the boot-jack, striking trim in the same place. "Murder, murder:" slid Jones; ',You'll kill me." Trn,"iliset - Cir, repenting Ahe blow, " hut.rll kill the . icluneumons," and poor Jones receiva another lick pith the boot jack well laid on. " Murder, murder, save me—save me," said Jones, jumping out of bed; running around the room, followed by the doctor, plying the _boot_:_ jack rill the time. "Oh, enough! enough, doer tor," said Jones, getting behind a rocking-chair to shield himself from the boot-jack. "Then you coy enough, do you?' said the doctor. "Too much—altogether too much," said Jones. " Do, you set any ichneumons now,'.: said the doctor "Not one," saki Jones I thought not," said the doctor, "got to bed now ;" end Jones, his thighs covered over with red - blotches; the imprints of the boot • - jack, quietly went to bed. "Now take, this," said the doctor, tilling out a pint bottle of London Porter, in which ho put an opiate, and Jones, submissive as a swalloWed it ay ordered. Ito soon fell asleep, and after a long and refreshing one, a woke well. Poor fellow: he, is since dead, but as long as he lived, he never again saw an ichneumon.—[ -ms-Orleans TILE LATE GENERAL LOPEZ. The recent hair-brained attempts to wrest the Island of Cuba train the dominion of Spain, has raised no little curiosity concerning oue of the principal, movers and-the-Chief-Captain—of-- the eqeditions. Nerciso Lopez was horn in Venezuela, in 1709. He had no brother that grew to man hood. Ills father, who was wealthy, had a commercial house in Caracas, a bvtneh of which at Valencia, was placed under charge of Narciso, at nit early age. Luring the troubles of 1814 ho sided with the popular.party, but afterwards abandoned his former -friends and, enlisted in the Spanish war. At .the end of the civil war, when only 23 years of age, he was 'raised to the rank of Colonel. When the Spanish army evacuated Vene.zu sla, Lopez went to Cuba, •ivhero ho was mar ried. During the first Carlist troubles in Spain, he happened to be in Madrid on private business. Here he joined the Royalist party, and was made aid-de-camp to the Commander in -Chief,, Gen. Valdez, and received several milinfry decorations. lie was appointed to important Mikes by the 'Queen, and afterwards. was made 'Governor of Madrid. Subsequent ly, as Senator from Sevillo,,he is said to have turned his attention to the condition of Cuba, and the expulsion of the Cuban Deputies from the Cortes, induced him to resign his office and return to that Island. There ho held sev eral posts , under the Captain Gcneral,--Val dez. . In 18.19, when ho supposed everything ripe ftir revolution, he came to the, United States, and got up the absurd 'attempt at invasion, known n 8 the Round Island Bxpedition. In, May„lBso, the equally absurd-invasion and hasty evacuation of Cardenas took place. And finally, in August, 1851, the late expedition landed at Bahia Ronda, and in the brief spnco of eleven`days, his forces wore cut to pieces or captured, and lie,•himself, a wandering &- gitive among the mountains, was taken priso ner, nod four duo afterwards was put to the ignomlnious'denth of the Garrote at Havana. • . old •cotiger — ivas i•ehoarsing to a' apighhor, a day >r •two ago, what ho had bgbrd. in Tegord'to tho groat, flrO in.

THE PERILS OF SUDDEN WEALTH. OccuPATIoDf. Some few years since, we heard of the case Of an individual, who, then in:Moderate Cir. cumstanaes, was suddenly enr'ich'ed. By the death of a distant relative in enothor Section of the Union, he inherited a very largo for tune: Ho was congratulated onallsides, and immediately took possession of his ,property.- Up to that time, he had been actively engaged in business, was correct and ,regular in his ha- bits, enjoyed the respect and esteem of all who knew him, was induStrious, active, and appa rently codtented and happy. His avocation, which was not particularly arduous, yielded a fair living for his family, and enabled him also to save-a trifle for a rainy. day. lle was con- stantly occupied, was cheerful, animated and Lcompanionable; hut - from tiro - very - nee - essitiCT of the case, was compelled to restrict his con vivial enjoyment, and todive within his means. The sudden possession of a largo 'fortune, im mediately effected a change in his habits, gave him abundant leisure, and 'induced him; in the course of •tk few mend's, to abandon his busi ness. " Ilecnould live without it," ho said "ho had thus far seen but little of the world, and he thought it but fair that ho should en joy himself." This was all well enough, if ho had understood himself, and -also imposed a rein on his tastes and appotite&-.7-But-,-almost ' unconsciously, he at first becamodu, idler, then a drinker, then a sportsman, and then a gambler -the latter not in a professional sense, but as Igentlemad of fortunci--who-coald-afford-to-in dulgo even at the risk of considerable loss, and who must have some modq of killing time. Thusdn "the Tear - or tww - rtftcrielmearnm - pos= - sessor of a largo property, the character. of the mon became totally 'changed. Then the excitement was connected with his business and'his family - , and he lived along smoothly, quietly, industriously and moderately. Now the excitement was altogether artificial, arid 1 -depended-upon drinking T-racing-and occupations; the consequences may readily be inferred. The loss in the first place of a few thousand dollars, the attempt to regain them by._some bold adventure, th&matlness of a speculation entered upon In a moment - of ex citement, a further and heavier loss, a resort 1.6 - the wine cup, to the garning-table„ and in -the end,- bankruptcy-and-almost beggary; The downward career was so rapid, the excitement -so intense, the impulse so irresistible,' that when the crisis came at last, and the truth was seen in all its nakedness, the poor victim shrunk bock half incredulous. He could not realize the frightful result. He could not be biovo that be had been--so -ms), so - blitid, - sp reckless. Fortunately his constitution was yet, vigorous, and some fragments of his .property might still be gathered.up. But the difficulty was to abandon his intemperate habits, to shake off his dissolute companions, to regain the old path of moderation, activity and .integ..- rity. For some time he struggled, but egain• he relapsed; and thus he lingered on for a few years longer, becoming weaker in frame and character every hour, until' his moral and physical ruin was complete as his pecuniary.- His sudden fortune was his greatest curse.-h With it camo vile habits that unmanned, un nerved and destroyed him. Dazzled by the' els vation, he saw through, a false medium, rushed on headlong, and with consequences truly pain ful. ' Bad no changetaken place in his occu pation-had lip been permitted to pursue the even tenor of his way in contentment, in mod oration, and in industry, he would, in all prob- abilityrhave - ncepuulated iialependlquetrin the end, and have lived. meanwhile, a useful member of society. Sudden wealth, therefore is not always Messing. That which is attained rapidly and unexpectedly, is in many cases not properly apPmelated, and is perilled and' parted with equal tacility. 'How frequently do we see the children of rich men sink step by step into habits of idleness and profligacy; exhaust their means, and become miserable members of the community. Subjected to a thousand temptations, and without any determintition of character, they are tossed from wave to wait° on the stream of life, and are soon shipwreck-. ed. It is difficult indeed to bear in a becom ing spirit, extraordinary prosperity. Truman nature is weak, vain and fehliblo. We aro all more or less the Creatures of selfishness, pride and circumstances ; and although an individual may_ be able to: regulate himself, and keep within proper limits, moral 'and social, when compelled to do so by the circumstances of the case, when dependent upon industry, in tegrity and perseverance, yet he may find- the task very' difliartivlien placed beyond the reach of want, with a largo fortuno at his command; - trait many idle hours at his dispos al, and with many temptations to beckon him to indidgenoo.' In the first place, we regard almost every individual as in danger, who is not regularly occupied, and this remark will apply as well to the qddle-nged as the young. Irene° the policy, wisdom; nay, the actual necessity_ of some regular pursuit or_ busi ness, something by which 'the head and hands, die mind and heart, may bo profitably employed. To have • nothing to do, and 'to have abundant means, is to bo in a position of temptation, to which no fallible human being should subject himself. If; lherefore, a father should have for his son, the - soletitien of - one of two positions, an active -business With no moans beyond the real necessities of tho pur suit, and a large fortune without occupation, .o would bo fall° to duty, to:experience, end to the real welfare of 1114 child, to hesitate for moment. With a' regular business, good ha bits and a competency aro -alutost certain; 7 , vhile the 'idler is likely in tho Inuldindo of oases, Oat to T.-asts his-To 6 rtune, and then find , ..;:tuself totally unfit ,to' wrestle with and eon-. tend ag,:iintit. the ordinary' and Ludes of life.

Tho following narrative, giving a glimpse at the misery which strong drink has occasioned, is extracted from Tho Lights:• of Temper ance," a new work publiiehed in Louisville, Kentucky: I witnessed once a scene which comes ap propriately in place,herc. During the com mencement exercises of Emory College, upon one occasion the Governor of the State of Geor gia,* and his lady, with a goodly. .number of other,friends, were staying with Ms. All were light-hearted, cheerful and happy, when a fe male torm; plainly but neatly attired, entered my gate and advanced to my door.

I shall see him any how, before he dies ; but I hair° no time to lose.' Madam,' said the Governor, I moot deep iysympathiao with you, and it painsane to tell _you,_that Lahould_violate_my_official-duty_ _to grant you the respite. I have examined the case, and I cannot find a single mitigating cir• cumstanee in it, in,your son's favor.' ' Oh, Governor Lally son is not sr murderer at heart. 'Ms disposition is peaceab'e. lie was not himself When he committed the deed. Oh, Governor! here on my knees beforeyou, -I-pray-you-have pi ty _upon a poor heart-broken widowed mother !' On't. wives sobbed aloud, and the Governor andlmyself mingled our tears profusely .over the bending suppliant. there was.but one of the group that.could speak, and that one bore the burden of us all, muLtiplied a thousand The Governor raised-her from her knees; and, repeated, by a shako of the head what ho had,already said. And nowwenfforth from that poor woman's . Ithart-,what shall -1 call it ? was . not dint A aot . It was not that. A groan? It was not that; but an indescribable out breathing of 'all that is eloquent in grief, and melting in sorrow. Her ticcents had caught the ears of the group in the adjoining porch, and produced a. death-like silence there: and my habitation, so lately the soene'pf mirth, was like the court of death. At length she broke silence:— .If there is no hope, I must hasten to my child before he dies,' . • She rose, and tremblingly advanced to the porch, followed by the sympathizing friend, but unyielding Chief Magistrate. She passed the crowd without seeming - to notice them; and, as hdr foot fell upon the step that was to conduct her away from the habitation of hope, she cast back a melting look, and commenced her last appeal, with , 015: Governor`! for God's sake'—when.she.sant: to the floor.- -At length, rising, as if moved by the . thought that oho was losing the time which ;done would en able her to see her son alive, she retired. The Governor disappeared with her; his ear riage soon followed, and -though no quCstions were asked on Lis return, I doubt not, that he offered her the 'ek solace that he could, in her cs.tremity, without A breach of duty. Now I ask, what is all the good that ardent spirits have ever done, compared • with the pangs which this one lioarwidow has suffered? But her's was no uncommon case.
