observe, that what Horace meant was, that discontent d dissatisfaction, restlessness and murmuring, are not alleated or removed by changing place and residence; but that the most deserted and solitary places, such as was Ulubræ, obscure town in the marshy districts of Latium, if the mind right, tranquil, and properly trained, happiness is within "ery one's reach. The lines are:

"Coelum non animum mutant, qui trans mare currunt;
Strenua nos exercet inertia: Navibus atque

Quadrigis petimus bene vivere. Quod petis hic est;

Est Ulubris, animus si te non deficit æquus."*

As if he had said, "You need travel neither to France, to Spain, to Germany, nor to Italy, in steamships or by railway, to seek to live properly. What you seek is here, at Ormiston Hill, or wherever lot or circumstances may place you, if the well-balanced mind fail you not."

These are probably small matters. Yet they may not be wholly insignificant, if they illustrate the habits and character of a man such as was Dr Cullen.

While we contemplate this history of rational and sober relaxation from the cares of active life, one unpleasant thought arises and disturbs all. It is not a matter of doubt, that considerable sums of money had been spent in reclaiming Ormiston Hill from a state of nature, in improving it, and making it what it was left by Dr Cullen. More, indeed, was spent upor it than there could be any well-founded expectation of seein returned during the lifetime of Dr Cullen.

In the hands of the present possessor, Ormiston Hill is sti more highly improved and more completely and profitaiv utilized, than it was nearly seventy years back. But upo: in subject it is quite unnecessary to say anything

Dr CULLEN to Dr JOHN FLEMING.

"DEAR JOHN,

"Now I have done with Jamie, it is time to say something of yourself. If I have not done it sooner, it is not for want of esteem and affection, which you have given me many reasons for having, and which I think I shall retain as long as I live. I have, and shall always have, the utmost anxiety about your success; and was a little disturbed at a doubt you expressed, whether you should turn soldier or merchant. The last, I hope you shall become to good purpose; but the first, though I could trust you in any line, I have an aversion to. It is indeed difficult to say what new conjunctures may occur in India; but at present there is but little view of forming more CLIVES there; and, at best, it is but a lottery, with so many blanks, that will not allow prudence to be concerned in it. suspect there may be, or may occur, some disagreeable circumstances in the situation you are to set out in; but I am certain that, by bearing for a little, you will get the better of anything. I have often observed it of advantage for a man to set out in a station to which he was really superior. His merit must appear greater by being compared with his station; while in its proper place it is no more than what is expected. I think I should never have succeeded so well as I have even done, if I had not set out as a country apothecary. Excuse all this which my anxiety dictates, and which, I believe, may be very superfluous to your discretion. I have a very good opinion of the last; but I know your spirit, and am afraid on some occasions it may fret and bounce with some impetuosity. I say no more, but that twenty men succeed better, even in a bad line they have set out in, than one that quits it for a seeming better. I believe your friend Drummond will settle just now as a physician at Berwick,-I hope with all the advantages that can be had there;-but I suspect it is not quite agreeable to his pride, and seems a sort of disappointment to his ambition.

"I have one more advice to give you, which I think you stand
