of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of th Head,
Throat, Nose or Sk'ti, Affections of Liver, Lunes,
Stoinnch or Bowels-thef terrible Disorders
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practices more fatal to their
victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipation, rendering marriage, &c., Impos
sible. rOUNGMEN
especially, who have become the tlctiui of Soli

which annually awoep to an untimely grave
thousands of young men of the most exalted

iDe. J. addresses all those who have Injured
tLctr ;elves hyiproper indiilgenec unci solitary
habits, wlileli r .in both hotly and mind, unfitting
them lor either business, study, society or mar
riage. These are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of -outh, viz:
tVcukuets of the K'tu-k and Limbs. Pains in the
Bark nnd Head, Duunem of Sixht, Iamb of Mus

Judtre what is the cause of their declining health,

suatched from all prosiects uud 'enjoyments of

path of naturo and indulging iu certain secret

MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound iniud and ImhIj are the most

THE SLAWDEB MtT.Th
Tls not a new patent, aat bat long bnen lu use,
And many hav tried Its fair fame loabuM
And "let me describe It from hopper to till
The Beliebub Patent Slander-MllL
The young and trie Yild'eafi at once testify
To lu power in changing the truth to a lie, '
Or a lie to the truth, ns the pntron may will
So very couplet 1 the tlaodcr-MUI.
Thli ruachiif will workict In a social way,
Where the people may meet to talk or play ;
And the fairest of band may turn at will
The crank of the famous Slander-Mill.
It .can grind your character a One as cbaff.
While the millet chat, and dance, and laugh,
And the victim fecit a suddeu chill
At every turn of the Slnuder-MlII.
It crushes 'whit case a fori lady'i name,
And changes her grnee to stn and hme;
While the friendly irlnnre af pure good-will
I reduced to a blot by the Slander-Mill.
A man may think himself pnre a snow.
And train tils virtues to make them grow ;
But he I marked Jltnd with a visntre of III '
By a tingle turn of th Sluuder-Mlll.
The mother who toil for her babe nnd bread
With a soul at true at the star o'erhead.
Often TV.U the hungry mouth to All
By passing through the Slauder-MIII.
The father, whose wish that wife and child,
With himself, may pass on undetlled
To the Land of Rest when God shall will,
Jt ground to dust oy the Mander-Mill.
There Is nothing good, noble, wise or pure
That, passed through this mill, can long endure;
When Sntnu invented the thing or 111,
He KneW who would use the Slander-Mill.
So bring on yonr grist, ami have It ground
In the surest mill that was ever found t
Mrs, Grundy presides, and will take the toll,
Returning the chuff, bit reserves the soul.
In all our homes there' a mill at work t
'Tls the humuu Tougtie the Devil's clerk

To feed the devouring 8laudcr-MllI.
DRIVEN TO THE WALL.

crustily wlVen Barbara Smith btood in the
doorway, with the shadowy lashes droop
ing over tho soft brown eyes, and roses
melting into deep carmine on her rosy
cheeks, until her muslin dress was plain in
comparison. . .Such a prelty, big-eyed, lov
in liltlo Barbara as she was, in all the
blonde freshness of her. cihteeu summers,
and the sort sigh thr.t fluttered from her
lips as tho one-horse carriage drove away,
was checked instantly. Iiarbara had no
idea of becominp; a victim to unrequited
love, though the hnd rather- faneicd Mr.
Verley during his brief sojourn at her
father's house.
Air. Verley drove away through the ruil
ling green draperies of the summer lane3,
whistling sadly as he drove.
'I shall bo iu very good time for tho 12.30

Verley, my friend.'
As lie settled himself comfortably in the
crowded tailway car, nnd opened the letter,
Uie 8ubject.agaiit occurred to bis ruiud
with curious persistence.
'TrUj letter of my poor brother's executor
came just in time, or I should certainly
have looted away more time than would
havo been sensible or profitable. Poor,
dear Harold ; I dou't see what on earth
possessed him to fall sick aud die on his
way home from Venice and leave his
daughter on my hands, too. Why could
he not have left a son instead of a daugh

referring despairingly to his letter. ..And
what I'm goiug to do with tier when 1 get

great creaturo, with ringlets aud ribbons,
uud justds likely as not uu Italian lover

a bonnet-box and a parrot's cage that's
tho way womcu geuer.tlly travel, I believe.
I am glad I am nut of the way of But Uira's

Mr. Verley looked out ef the car window,
in a tort of cilui desperaticu at the pro
pect before him. , Wtf
'1 enppose she'll vc'ibA r;V.uo, and m7

'Why it's a baby 1'

'and as tine a little girl as ever 1 saw ; bless

'But isn't there a nurse or some such

'Thero was a nurse brought her on, sir.

lalked.somethiug about the next steamer
I couldu't understand her lingo, sir and
weut right back to Xew York on the two

Joseph Verley stood aghast, staring at
the rosy baby as it lay crowing in the wo-
man s arms, atta wondering which of his
iuckv stars uo Should call on to aid liiiu in
this unlooked-for emergency. A full-grown
young lauy niece would have beeu bad

So this is my niece, he muttered. 'And

He turned suddenly to the woman.
'What time does the next tralu for Winfield

'In an hour, sir.'
'Would you be kind enough to take care
of the child till theu V I suppose I must
take it home with me ; for I cuu't very well

: 'She,' ejaculated the astonished stew
ardess. But Mr. Verlev rurned on his heels and
ctrode oxtt of the depot, scarcely able at
first to comprehend the disaster that had
bcfulleti.uinr.
Tho traiu was at tho depot when he re
turned and the woman awaited him with
the sleeping infant in her arms.
'Asleep, ehV commented Mr. Verley.
Well, that's lucky.'
'Where's the nurse, sir?' inquired the
woman.
'The nurse ? What nurse ?'
'.Why, I suppose you want to get a
curse !'
. '5ever.,oncc thought of it ! ejaculated
Joseph madly smiting his forehead. 'Here
give the thing to me quick, the train is
moving.'. ,
He had hardly time to spring on board
ns the locomotive gave an unearthy shriek,
while the baby followed suit vigorously.
lie slagged to his seat, holding tho" um
brella and the chilvfiu one hand, while iu
the oilier his valise swung backward and
forward.
'There 1 there, bless its little lieart 1' he
exclaimed, imitating the colored woman.
'We won't cry so we won't.'
But the baby evidently had an opinion
of her own ou the subject, and would cry
in spite of various blandishments practiced
oy mo ucwiidcrcd uncle sued as shaking
the umbrella handle, swinging his watch,
and trotting both knees.
People began to look uround reproach
fully ; youug men shrugged their shoulders
aud youDg ladies giggled.
Utush I hush I there's a darling ?' whis
pered Mr. Verley.
But still the baby wept and wailed, and
gnashed its gums, for of teeth it had but
two. Mr. Verley began to look around in
the car iu search of some matronly dame
of whom he could seek counsel, but iu vaiu.
Thure, were only three ladies iu the ear, and
they .$vero young, with round hats aud
dimple) cheeks.
'They don't know anything about it,'
groaueij Mr. Verley, in anguish of spirit.
OU!. why didn't I have common sense
enough to g o and get a nurse ? 1 suppose
there is no danger of a haby burstiug its
lungs , but 1 should thiuk if there was such
a contingency, this baby was lu a fair way
of meeting iu Well, roar away, my young
friend ; 1 can stand it as long as you can.'
Vain boast, as futile as vain, as Mr.
Verley very soon discovered. Tho buoy
not only ccied, but it screamed, it kicked,
it doubled irsultjjver iu more ways than a
contortionist's wiieet dreams could ima
gine, aud became apparently fraulic with
puhsiuu.' The iicrspiration broke out iu
huge beads on Joseph's brow ; his face
tluehed and still tho cars thundered on.
'What's to become of me f ho pondered,
holding desperately ou to the struggling in

wuiut, and watching iu purple Tare with a

Barbara Siuitli to take care of her little

And Verley pulled the baby up into a
silling posture with a sudden jerk.
I'll do it,' quoth Mr. Verley. 'I'll lake

A New Chapter f Hlstorjr.
How California vat Kept from JSeing
Drawn inlo Hit Vorkz nf RJkXlwn.
A writer in a Chicago paper givr-e what
he claims has uever before beeu given to
the reading public, relative to the political
situation of California In the dark days of
ltitil. The writer proceeds to say :
Then, in 1601, State after Slate was
throVing off allegiance to the Uniou aud
joiuingthe unholy alliance which was to
perpetuate humuu bondage. Portress after
fortress on the Soutlwrn coast, was being
taken by force or stttretnlered by trcasou.
Priceless military it-ores in navy yards
and arsenals were, jbeiug destroyed, lest
they should fall into lie hands of the ene
my. Every departtfruat of government
contaiued llebcl spies, and the very air in
our JS'ational canitol seenicd loaded with
treason, when t hvr ra dim ana da n iu
good President, a faressage that cauae'd his
cheek to palo, aud his great heart to beat
quick with apprehension. This was the
message, snort aa it was ominous : "There
is treason op Alcatraz." Alcatraz is the
name of the island fort that guards the
Golden Gato, aud coinmauds the harbor
and city of San Fraueisco,
It is a rock of a lew acres in extent, ris
ing, iK-rhftpe, tifty leet abve tho Burlncc of
the water. The fort is the (iibraltcr of
America, as much stronger thau Sumter
or Pickens as solid rock is stronger than
brick and mortar. Its commander at this
lime was Albert Sidney Johnston. The
force under his commaud consisted of but
a few companies. The Pacific coast was
strongly Democratic. Its populatiou con
sisted largely of eminrauts from the slave
States, who retained au intensely Southern
feelitig and sympathy, embittered by the
fact that the great State of California had
beeu lost to slavery upon its admission into
the Union ten years before.
A few leading spirits had Ions been in
correspondence with the leaders in the
Itebellton. At their suggestion, more than
a year before. 1 lovd. theu Secretary of
War, had. unknowu to anv loval nersou
livios, transferred eiclifv thousand stand
of arms from the arseual at Troy to that of
jenicia, to oe used dv lue secessionists in
California when the plot should be ripe,
and the Rebel Dug uufurled. The nrocram-
uie of the traitors was this : To obtain
possession of Port Alcatraz. which would
give them control of tbe cjty of San Fran
cisco. Then with tbe amis that were
stored at Benicia. tbev could at once arm
and organize a force that would be irresisti
ble throughout the state.
It was a brilliant conception to train for
slavery the whole Puciiic toast, with- its
boundless resources, as Well as all the vast
region to the eastward, exteuding the Con
federacy unbroken from the Atlautic to the
Pacific seas. To insure the success of this
scheme. Albert Sidney Johnston was
placed in command of Port Alcatraz. It
was arranged that the leaders iu San Fran
cistSowith a force of picked men sufficient
for the purpose, eliould surprise and cap
ture thd fort. The details were all ar
ranged. They were waiting only for orders
from the llcbel Governmeut to strike the
fatal blow. The birds of the air carried
whisperings of this treason to loyal ears.
Mo time was to be lost. The mails were
then carried semi-monthly by steamer be
tween Mew York aud Sau Francisco. The
time was from three to four weeks. Thero
was theu no telegraph, no railroad even,
west of the Missouri river. There was,
however, a pony express ruuning from Sau
Francisco to St. Joseph, Mo., making the
distance in sixteen days. By this express
a message was instantly despatched, warn,
ing President Liucolu of the daugcr. The
message was duly received, and a hurried
consultation was held with two or three
members of bis cabinet. It was decided
that Johnston must be superseded by a loyal
otlicer. There was such an one at hand,
one whose loyaety aud integrity were per
fect and unqestiouable, a knight without
fear aud without reproach! It was Gener
al Sumner. ... ..... , . , ,
But how should he secure the command?
The fortress was six thousaud miles away
by the traveled route. It tbe least move
ment iu that direction was opeuly niado,
fleet coursers would carry the warning over
tbe plaius, and it would be too late. The
utiuoet secrecy was imperative. There
cuauced to be a government war steamer
in Mew York harbor. General Sumner was
at once ordered on board this vessel, aud
its commander directed to put at sea in
stantly, wiih sealed orders, which were to
be opened when one day out of port. These
orders directed him to lay upou the track
ol the outgoing California mail steamer,
look out tor the one which was to sail tbe
next day, put General Surauer on board of
her, and then cruise southward for a week
before returuiuc to port.
These orders vcre obeyed. The rebel
spits were bathed, and tlie gallant Sumner,
uukuspecled, was ou his way to assume
command of fontrai. Meauwhilo its

j no' were incessantly bringing armfula of
i rolll'd-up fleeces ; these were laid on tho
tables before the wool-sorters, who opened
thpjn out, and pronounced in a moment to
which oin mey uetongea ; two or three men
standing behind rolled them up again
ranidly, and put thorn ou a sort of shell d i
vided into compartments, which were each
labled, so that the quality and kind of each
wool could be told at a glance. There was
a constaut emptying of these . bins into
trucks, to be carried off to the press, Where
we followed to see the bales packed. The
fleeces ore tumbled in, and a- heavy screw,
press forces them down 'tilths bale which
is kept open in a large square frame is aa
full as it can hold. The top of canvas is
then put on, tightly sewn, four iron pins
are removed, and the sides of the frame fall
away, disclosing a most' symmetrical bale
reedy to be hoisted by a crane into t;be loft
above, where it has the brand of tbe sheep
painted on it, its weight, and to what class
the wool belongs. Of course everything
has to be done with great speed and system.
We wero much impressed by the silence in
shed not a sound was to be heard except
the click of the shears, and the wool-sorter's
decision, as he flings the fleece behind him,
given ouc, or at most two words. AU tbe
noise is outsido ; there the hubbub ah 1
dust, nud apparent confusion are great.
You can hear nothing but barking and
bleating, and this goes on from early rrt'orn
lng till dark. We peeped in at the' iron's
huts a long low, narrow building, with
two rows of "bunks" in one coin pat '.men t,
and a table with forms around it in anoth
er, and piles of tiu plates and panuikinsall
about. The kitchen was near, and wo

of bread withdrawn from a huge brick

Selections yqr- Hewspapers. Most
people think the.Sulcclions of suitable mat
ter for a newspaper the easiest part of tho
business, llott greet an error. To look?
over 60 exchange papers daily, frbmwhich
the question is not what shall, but shall
not be selected, it is no very easy task. If
every person who reads a uewspaper could
haye edited it, we should have less com
pltvtHs. Mot unfrequently it is the case
that an editor looks over his exchange pa
pers .for soir.ethiug intresting aud finds
tbsolr.tety nothing. Every dryer than a
contribution box yet something ' must bo
out and something must be in it, and he
does the best he can. To an editor who
has the least care in what he selects, the
writing he has do is the lcast part of bis
labor. ;-
.Every subscriber thinks the paper la
printed for his own benefit, and if there is
that svits him it must be good for nothing.'
As may subscribers as an editor has so
many tastes he has to consult. One wants
something very smart arid sound. Odo
likes anecdotes fun and frolic, and his next
door neighbor wonders that a man of
sense will put such stuff iu his paper.
Something spicy comes out and the editor
is a blackguard. Mext comes something
argumentative, and the editor is a dull fool.
Aud so, between. them nil, the poor fellow
gets the worst of lr. They never reflect
that what does not -lease them, will pleaso
the next man, but tboy -irsbt that tha
paper does not please th.'oi, it is good for
uothiug. .
