TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all iliote who have lujnrrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body uud mind, uuliitiiig
them for either business, study, society or uiur
riage. These are some of the sad and melancholy
efl'cets produced by curly hubits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back aud Limbs. Paius in the
Bucki'Ud Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Paipituliouof the Heart, Dyspcpsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Diuoslivu
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con

are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideus, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodiugs, Aversion to Society, bull-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, &.c, are some of the
evils produced.
Thousands of persons of ull ages can now
Judire what is the cause of their declining hcalltij
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular uppearancu
about the eyes, cough uud symptoms ot consump

learned from evil companions, or at school, the
i:llucts of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if uot cured, reuders marriage lu pos

npply immediately.
What u pity that a young muu, the luqieof his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
suiiteliei. from ull prospects uud enjoyments of
life, by the cousequeuce of deviating from the
path of nature uud indulging in a certain see ret
habit. Such persons must, Indole contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect thnt a sound miud uud body are the most
iieveesury requisites to promote eon no Ma! happi

life becomes a weary pilgrimage j the prospect
hourly darkens to the view; the mind Lecomes

choly retlection, that the bapplnjsi of another
becomes uliirhtcd wilh our own.
a CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided uud imprudent votary of
pleasure II nils that he bus Imbibe 1 the see Is ol
this painful disease, It too often happens that au
ill-timed seuse of shame, or a read of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and reeetafiilily, cuu uloue bcfricnJ.
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their uppearauce, such
us ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoeturnl
paius Iu the head and linil, dimness of sight,
deafness, uodes on the shin bones and uruis,
blotches ou the head, face aud extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till ul last the.
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, aud the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " thut Undiscovered Country from whence
uo traveller returns."
It is a ine.auelioly fact thut thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through fulliiiti
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use or that deadly Pol
tMU, Mercury, e., destroy the constitution, and
liicupublo or curlug, keep the uuhappv sudervr
mouth alter mouth taking their iiuaious or in
jurious couipouuds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Lite Vigor and Happiue.-, in des
pair leave him wilh ruined Health to sigh over
his gulling diapHiiuiment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
front his extensive practice aud oLservullons in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the ur.t in
this country, vix : Eugluud, i ranee, Philadelphia

Rotheriuel.
'Why r asked Kirk.
'Peruaps I inn wrong,1 Rothermel an
swered, 'but to me sue seems a tickle,
changeful woman ; one who wins it man's
heart one day by her smiles and coquetry,
and casts it aside the next, caring nothing
for il after it is wed. Spring is lickle and

seem alike.1
'Hut Summer is only Spring with a soul
in it,' answered Kirk.
'Ves, I grant you that,1 said Rolhermel.
'Rut looking iu Sybil Cameron's face I fail
to see such indications of a soul, l'erhaps
1 could see it if I looked wilh the fond eyes
of a-lover.1
'I iJo love her,1 Kirk said earnestly. 'You
were rL'hl wheu you called mo a lover,
Rolhermel. I never cared for a wouiau
before as I do for .Sybil Cameron. To me
she is the synonym of all things fair aud
pure and sweet, "she, may be the wouiau

can't think her in that' way. If 1 can wiu
her I shall be the happiest until alive.1
'Tor your sake, 1 hope she is nil you

worthy of her, if she is. I hope you may

you are wrong.1

her.1
'I have nothing to advauTe ngninst nn

Kirk said a moment later.

Max Rothermel stood and wafehed the
scene. There was a look of something like
triumph in his face.
Presently there was a flutter of white up
the parlor, and without looking Oiat way
he knew who was coining. He could tell
by the strange thrill which went over him.
'Miss Cameron is looking for Rothermel.1
some one said behind him, in a tone not
meant for his ear. "Do you really think he
cares for her ?'
'I don't know,1 was tho reply. 'But one
thing is certain she cares for him.1
"Ves, every one can see that,' tho other
lady said. 'At last she has found her
master. I am glad of it. She has ruled
hearts long enough.
Rothermel smiled, nn exultant thrill nt
his heart, a lire of triumph in his eyes.
Sybil Cameron came quite near tieforc ho
looked up. When be did she stood before
him. with n doft crlor coming, nnd going
in her cheeks, eyes shy and downcast.
Tlie old queenly arrogance was gone, aud
a womanly grace, iuiiuitely more becom
ing, held its place.
'Shall we waltz ?' he said, smiling into
her eyes with that rare smile of his. 'Thnt
wnilz is simply exquisite. 1 don't often
care to dance, but to-night the impulse is
irresistible.'
They whirled down tho room to the weird
intoxication of the music's subtle influence.
Her yellow hair floated about his face, nnd
her brenlh fanned his cheek. Once she
lifted her eyes to his, compelled by some
strange power to do so. - His glance was
on her face, full of coueious power, aud yet
tom bed wilh something like regret.
The waltz ended in a long strain of tre

Never in all his life had he seen a face
so beautiful as Sybil Cameron's at Oiat
moment, when that sweet confession found
utterance. Her eyes were full of soft lightj
her cheeks dyed with cari.alion, and her
whole face suffused with ivw, strange ten
derness. Her soul had come to her.
In this 8upremcst hour of his triuTnph,
Max Rothermel felt that in some way his
revenge was after all a failure, lie had set
himself deliberately to win this woman's
heart, if she had any, and then spurn it
aside as she hud spurned so many hearts.
He had won the thing he coveted, but
the triumph was not w hat he had anticipa
ted. There was a sense of humiliation
about it. and of self defeat. Could it be
that there was a spark of love in his heart
for this woman who had cast aside the love
of his dearest friend, ns a worthless lliing,
and made that (rimiil cynical, and coldly
distrustful "f all truth iti woman, because
of his slighted hopes and dreams.
'You love me,1 he cried. 'You tell me
that, and I have never spoken 0110 word of
love to you. Roy Kirk loved you, and you
trampled on his heart, as true a heart as

held for him. Now you tell me that you
