To such as wish to know where these scenes took place, I must respectfully decline to answer; for Hurly-burly House has ceased to exist as a hospital; so let it rest, with all its sins upon its head,--perhaps I should say chimney top. When the nurses felt ill, the doctors departed, and the patients got well, I believe the concern gently faded from existence, or was merged into some other and better establishment, where I hope the washing of three hundred sick people is done out of the house, the food is eatable, and mortal women are not expected to possess an angelic exemption from all wants, and the endurance of truck horses. Since the appearance of these hasty Sketches, I have heard from several of my comrades at the Hospital; and their approval assures me that I have not let sympathy and fancy run away with me, as that lively team is apt to do when harnessed to a pen. As no two persons see the same thing with the same eyes, my view of hospital life must be taken through my glass, and held for what it is worth. Certainly, nothing was set down in malice, and to the serious-minded party who objected to a tone of levity in some portions of the Sketches, I can only say that it is a part of my religion to look well after the cheerfulnesses of life, and let the dismals shift for themselves; believing, with good Sir Thomas More, that it is wise to "be merrie in God." The next hospital I enter will, I hope, be one for the colored regiments, as they seem to be proving their right to the admiration and kind offices of their white relations, who owe them so large a debt, a little part of which I shall be so proud to pay. Yours, With a firm faith In the good time coming, TRIBULATION PERIWINKLE. New Publication. Ready September 1. Speeches, Lectures, and Letters: by Wendell Phillips. Fourth Edition. In One Vol., crown octavo, pp. 570; printed on clear new type, and the best tinted linen paper; bound in the English green or maroon vellum-cloth; with gilt tops, and illuminated title; and illustrated with an excellent portrait of Mr. Phillips, on steel, by H. Wright Smith, of Boston. Price $2,50. The first three editions of this work were sold as rapidly as they could be bound, and demand continues unabated. In his Prospectus, the Publisher guaranteed to produce this work in the best style of Boston manufacture; and that he amply redeemed this pledge, the universal testimony of the Subscribers, the Agents, and the Trade attest. It was announced at $2, and intended to be of 500 pages. But it is considerably larger, and more expensively gotten up than was originally designed; and hence, and in order, by the last adornments, to make it the very finest Book in the Boston market, its price has been necessarily increased to $2.50.
