Importuniiy. I've waited long enough, Kathleen, Tho winter's fairly past; Tho lambs are playing on the green, The swallows come at last. The vine is leafy round my door, Thc blossoms on the May; The waves come dancing to the sliorc Why don't you mme tho day? You know you put me off, Kathleen, Until early in thc spring; Tho skies are tranquil and serene; The bees are on the wing; The fisher spreads his httle sail, Thc mower's in the hay; The primrose blossoms in tho vale Why uon't you name the day ? The thrush is building in thc thorn, Awong the whispering leaves; The lark is busy in the corn, The martin 'neath the caves. The little birdo doft't build in vain, Their mates don't say them nay Beware ! I may not ask again; Why don't you name the day ? Medical. From thc London correspondence of the "Round Table" -we extract the following interesting medical reminiscences, which, as they refer to two diseases, one now prevalent in some of our sister cities, and the other threatening its appearance in America-the small-pox and the Asiatic cholera-will doubtless in? terest our readers, and especially the medical faculty: Dr. Spencer Hall, a very distan-1 guished London physician, recently declined to obey the law which re- | quires that all infants shall, within a J certain .period after their birth, (six months, I believe,) be vaccinated. When called upon by the authorities, he responded in a very remarkable letter, which was read before the authorities, of Marylebone parish, stating why he had determined to pay the fine rather than have hi? child vaccinated. He declares that he has never been able to find a cow with the disease, nor can he fiud in England a farmer who has ever seen one with it, consequently the virus which is now used in England is nearly or quite all taken from human subjects. Un inquiriug at the various hospitals, he finds from the medical men employed in them that it is next | to impossible to get any real vaccine matter, that is, from the cow. He also gives reasons for supposing that j nearly all of the virus in use has come | through the blood? of some three j hundred different people, many of j which must be tainted with some dis? ease. Dr. Hall prefers that his child should iucur the risk of the small-pox to these taints. The dying out of the disease among the*cows has been at? tended by a singular decrease in the virulence of small-pox among human beings. The disease, from being among the most formidable, has now almost Jost its terrors. He thinks that for some reason or other-possi? bly because?he whole community has bec om ^^?Lykm u:l^ -v *nocu lated - the sju^uMj^?HB??r-di5~OUt altogether: e Marylebone authorities were considerably staggered by the doc? tor's very able letter, and did not know whether to impose the fine or not-the fine being arranged for the negligeut, not for the philosophical. They finally agreed to allow the doc? tor four months to hunt up some original vaccine virus for his child. The most important medical event, however, is that Dr. John Chapman has certainly succeeded in making an impression oh the cholera with his iee cure. This is acknowledged by the medical fraternity of England; and now no person is attacked but a bajr filled with ice is at once thrust upon the spine. The doctor pub? lished, some months ago, a pamphlet, in which he showed how deeply he had studied the cholera in connection with the ice treatment, which he had tried upon diarrhoea with such suc? cess. When the cholera appeared at Southampton, he hastened thither, and found the physicians quite willing to have him treat their cases. Though called to those patients some time after the disease had had its way with them, he saved six. Two died, but one was seventy-three years of age, and the other an habitual drunkard, living in a very filthy place. Since then the success has been naost re? markable, and it may be almost as? sumed that this fierce visitor from the tropics has been mastered in the region of ice. Du-^Chapmua is not only known asa? eminent physician, butasjLJit?faty gentleman of fine ' laminents. He edited The CatJiolic Series, which brought out in England sow nany of the liberal religious pro? ductions of America and Germany. Ho bas been for many years, ?ind is now, the editor of the Westminster Review. He is, however, not an old man, but bids fair to live many years, assisting humanity to give the cold shoulder-or rather spine-to its va? rious ills.

Nomination for the Mayoralty. MANY friends of Dr. EDWARD SILL hereby respectfully recommend him for the Mayoralty of thia city, at the election to be held on the first MONDAT in April j next. ? I It will no doubt be remembered-espe? cially by citizens of somewhat mature age ? -that, some years ago, Dr. Sill was called, for three consecutive terms" to preside over the municipal affairs of Columbia as ita Intendant, without salary. He is, there? fore, not without experience in the duties of the office. If, then, in the present aspect of things, there is need of onr pos? sessing the qualifications of industry, fidelity, economy and thorough business habits, coupled with official experience, into whoso hands must be committed thc administrativ? affairs of the city-then will these all be found, in a great measure, united in the individual hereby nominated.
