TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injurrd
thrmselTc by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body aud mind, uutittiug
tlie'.n for ei: her business, study, society or mar
riage. 'j'HoSK are. t.imn of the sa'l and nict.mrhe.ty

Weakness ol the Back and l imbs. Pains in the
Buck Mid Head. Dimuess of Si;'ht, Loss of Mus

fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirit, Eil
Forcbo.liugs, Aversion to bocicty, bclf-Dislrust,
Love of Soiitiuh', Timidity, Acure some of the
evils produced.
Thousands of ) ert ins of all a res can now
judire what is the eaiueof their declining health',
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pair, nervous
und emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac
tice iutlulged in when alone, a habit fre'iuently
learned from evil eompaniout., or ut school, the
cllrcto of which are uightly felt, even when
asleep, and it not cured, i cud.'i s marriage impos
sible, uud destroys both lain. I and body, should
apply Immediately.
What n pity that a young lt.hi, the linpanf his
country, the darling of his parents., should be.
snalchei from till prospects and enjoyments ol
life, by the conscjucnc: of deviating' from the
path of nature and Indulging in a certain secret
habit, fcuch persons ni, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that o sound mind anj body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through
life, becomes a v.cary pilgrimage; tile" prospe. t
hourly darkens to the view; the mind Lceo.nrs
shadowed with despair aud tilled with the, melan
choly reflection, that the happiuoss of uunluer
b-comes blizhte I with ourown.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure tin Is that he has imbibed tbe seels of
this pamlul disea.-e. It too often happens that au
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of di.-coven,
deters him from applying to those who, from
cducHtlon and respectability, can alone h. friend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease malic their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uocturul
pains iu the head am! limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes ou the shin bones and anus,
Hotchcs on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing wit h frightful rapidity, till at l.ra tho
palate id" the m mill or the bom s id' the note full
iu, and the victim of this awful di-ease becoi ics
a horrid object of coiuniieeration, till death puis
a period to his dre.uli'ul sullcrhig, by sen ling
him to " that Undiscovered Country from u hence
no t iu veller returns."
It is u melancholy fact that th.c.isands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, ley the uc. of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, iVc, destroy the c )iist;tuliou, and
Incapable of curing, keep the uuhuppv sutlerer
Ihonjh nl'ter month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of 1 elng re tore I
to a renewal of Life. Yigorand Huppine-., iu des
pair leave liiiu t illi ruined Health to siU over
his galling disappointmeut.
'In such, therefore. Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, nud
from his extensive piuctieo uud observations iu
the great Hospitals ol Europe, and the liist in
this country, vix: England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to otter the most cer
tain, speedy aud ell'-ctual remedy iu the World
for all diseases of imprudence.

The following esqtilsltc lines sweetly utter
their own brief sad story. The beautiful senti
ment Inspires them is charmingly, tenderly, very
pathetically pin tray;d, iu the happiest muso of
that breathing poe.-y which touches the chords
that loose the fountains of the heart and causes
Its well of tears to nill'use and dim the eyes of
the symptt liizing, iuot'onal, attentive render.
They were written hv Mrs. Helen 'Iimsurl Clink,
of Northumberland, Pennsylvania, n young mar
ried lady of twenty-two years, the daughter of
Col. David Tnggarl. Chief Paymaster of this
Milltaiy Department oftlio United Stales Army,
and their publication Is now fur tho first time
made. They were written and sent, simply for n
fond father's perusal, but at the r."pir-,t ol a few
fi lends to whom the. verses have been shown, and
who appreciate I lie impressive beauty of their
thought and expre.-sjeti, they ,'f"-. in fliaV.rt.

verses :
TWO MFIOH.i.
Down In the pasture meadow.
Two footlci--, bare and brown,
Deep In the scented clover,
Pressing the, grasses clown.
Eyes tli.it were sunny and saucy
Curls of a tawny gold
A smile of rippling sweetness.
And a mouth half shy, half bold.
He chased the straw-colored millers
He laughed at the lowing lane
Heir of a limit less kingdom
Was this piinc-.-ly boy ol tiiine.
Down in the pasture meadow,
Under a tinted sky,
Hop.-inl, and proinU una loving,
We Hood my wife and I.
We watched t'ns ''merry monarch,"
As he i tore I his lint io til" brim
With tu.irg.ieril.es white and guldeu
Watched till the west grew dim.
The Summer died with its clover.
The daisies withered away,
Til Lis-on of Life we are learning.
And its text is hard and w-y-
Down in tbe ru'iido. of marble-,
A headstone "u' 1 and whin
Maths where our boy is sleeping
Mis dio imlc.-s sleep to-night.

it justice. At every point il has the ap
pearance of a iiii.iinlaiu lake of almost un
I'atiiinnalde depth, but constantly varying
iu outline and sin rounditigs. The waters
have the dark blue of the ocean, and in
many places, in channels less than half a
mile wide, the lead has lailed to reach the
boilom. On b ,th sides are mountain peaks
of every form of llititas'.ie ruggedtii-ss, vary
ing in altitude from o.OUO to' .i.iMjj feet, and
except where the l'liiluuit; rocks crop out,
covered to 'the water's edge with lir. hem

ly wauling north of Victoria, and the trees
on these thin-sui!cd nceltviiies lack the
Vast growth ot those of Otegoii ami Pllget
Sound, and well they mtglil. for t.iey grow
almost on the bare rock. These magnifi
cent upheavals have their bases from U00
to 1.01K) feet below the surface of llie water.
Their almost perpendicular sides are sear
red at innumerable places with the path of
the avalanche, and beautiful cascades, Irom
fountains never polluted by human touch
or tread, come bounding in niisl-wreatbed
splendor from the wild canons. Like co
lossal tents iu a crowded camp of giants,
such us in the olden time gave battle to
the gods, stand these vast peaks, unci be
yond another, as far us the eye can reach,
hemming us in on every side. When we
passed the trees were covered with freshly
fallen snow, nnd looked us if
'Eternity had mmmil It years upon them,
Aud the dread Winter of their nje had come."
l'arly on the morniti!? of the 19th we en
tered the lUtlu Hay of Fort Tongas in 5Id
4l)m, and wero once more on our own do
main. Cntil recently it was occupied by
tho United States as a military not. It
is on a small island of three hunched acres,
separated from tne mainland by a very
uurrow channel. Hero and at Fort Wrau
gcl, one hundred and fifty miles further,
are good buildings erected by tho Uovern
Dient fur troops. Those at Wraugel have
been told to an Indian trader bearing the
deathless name of King Lcnr, which our

these former pouts is a well built Indian
village. The great drawback to trade is '
that the Hudson liay Company in Ih-itish '
Columbia undersell them in blatiki'ls. ;
These are bought by the Soul hern Indians, i
anil traded to their brethren it) the vicinity '
of Tongas and Wrangel, who prefer Idem ;
to the American article.
Leaving Cape Northumberland, of home '
suggesting name, to the West, we passed j
through Ko.villii (iigedo channel, sometimes
culled Tongas Narrows, into lHiko of Chi- :
lence Straits ; thence through Stacbiuski
Strails to Fort U iangel, near the ix.rllieru j

my preconceived notions of Sitkau -gloom
and Alaskan horrors had passed away. I
saw before me, in the balmy but misty air
of a November morning, a cheerful-looking
village, with natural surroundings .- ij-iiiiiI
(I ml leuht'al H.i Kin; fr-.n.nrl t'nrn on r, ;;(.
The weather was mild enough to muki' an
nveicoat an inc umhrauc'-. it nccupies al
most the only level land we have seen since
we left Victoria, and there is n ,t more
than two hundred acres here. To the west
Mount Kdgi'cumb raises ils volcanic crest
J.S.Vi feci high, nnd not more than tli;i;e n
miles away. Within the men: ry of man
it is said to have emitted smoke and ashes,
find the hoarv track ol its lava tides is plain
to be Scon. The crater is J,(I(HI feet in ill- !
ainetcT, and its basin J l) feet deep. Onj
three sides stand the evidences nf lia'.uiv's !
past convulsions. M ,i!i:l: his that nr-y 1 ,
as far as man's knowledge goes, the young- !
est Oolspring of earth's inollreii ivmnb, or

versilied and rugged sublimity theii sharp,
craggy nnd snow-crowned peaks. Oiinue i
side you look out through mossy rocks i
and evergreen islands to tbe illimitable 1
ocean.
Nor is this hyperborean hamlet without j
interior attractions. Hero, as nt most j
military pn.-!s, you will find intelligence,
iviineniont and uip-tiuiccl hospitality. Iu
a dog castle, reared upon :i Inil, clise by j
the shore nnd overlooking the sea, once tho j
palace of the llussiau ti ivernor, and now 1
occupied by the chief surgeon of tbe post,
and iu the home of the military com
mander, 1 found all these, and in every
ollieet 's quarters a ociii il welcome and io
striielivi e-iiuipaoe disiiin. Around Hie two
short November clays and 1-nig chceriul

of the ciiinpensali'Mis of an exile that ulcer
a letiglbened service there is no -.tatiuii t,u
reunite thai we will not Uud in it valued
und treasured friends. Since inv wander
ing began I have struck no place whore 1
did Hut meet Mime a;;rceub:e acipiaiiilauce
o! former years.
The town is built upon a single street,
about fifty feet ill width, which follows tho.
ctirval lire ol the bay. llie old dieekj
church, wilh ils triplceross. is plain iu ex- j
terior, but ttdorn-'d internally with rare j
pii.turts set with costly jewels many of i
which were stolen two years ago by saeri- I
lcgimis tliicves. The bi.shop's a.biroinetiis
in" as rich and dazzling as any monarch, s !
- :'. painful contrail wilh llie unseemly!
rags id' his dock. For a sight of tlen.- ;
tilings wi! were indebted In the kindness of j
an intelligent young priest, almost the on'y ;
liussian of pure bhcii I saw in Sitka. Near- '.
ly till the tinirniighhrrds have returned to !
the mother country since itniiexalinti. The :
town atnl Mr. Scwaid were founded about '
Hie same time, in lT'.t'A Atnl tilth- thouglil
the lorinder.s, when they drove llicti lii-t
stakes ill these northern wilds, that a baby ;
was just then about to be born somewhere
iu Ntw York State, who one day would 1
denationalize their descend tuts ttu l bring !
their young colony under the tlag ol a great
lb public, al that lime of sli ght prominence J
among the nations of the earth ! And I ;
take this oce.u-ioii to thank our Veuer.ibV
peripatetic statesman for my share of Alas
ka, il being the forty millionth pari, or 17
cents' worth. I would not sell out for
double tbe money. j
Near Ihe church is a large low two story .
log building called the "double decker."
Il is divided into small, squalid nparl- 1
incuts, crowded with w rctelied mongrels,
in whom tiiiugle the blond of l!uss, Aleut j
and Indian, the M mg ili ttl type of Ihe
Aleutian largely pieponderating. In u i
room eight by twelve we found an Indian '
woman lOo years old, with live other le- '
tunics of all ages above 4(1, und of all cross- j
cs. She was lying on a miserable cot, ;
munching wilh her toothless gums a crust j
of bread, the cruuis hanging disgustingly j
on her slavering lips and chin. Tiio world j
could furnish no more repulsive contrast to !
female loveliness. j
Tbe air of ibis den was so foul with re- '
p. ated inhalations that thirty seconds suf- I
tlced me fur an observation. And yet iu !
this horrid atmosphere, pcclilential enough I
to kill tho young and vigorous, the poor I
old crealuru hail breathed away her day s
and nights, equally dark to her, for mouths
and years. In one or two rooms we found
poverty struggling for comfort, enjoying thu
cheap luxury of ilowers, aud the still chap- j
er one of cleanliness. In all of them was;
tho inevitable brass or copper chi. or tea i
uru. Iu every Russian home is also sotpu
nicturo or imago typical of their faith.
All tho old Government buildings are of
ponderous logs and painted yellow, includ
ing the palace before alluded to. This oc
cupies a very commanding position on ft

rock eighty feet high, overlookina tho town
nnd harbor. It is dented with large earth
en structures, cylindrical in form, nnd ex
tending from tloor to ceiling. Although
wood is burned in them, tin y need nttention
but once, or twice a day, retaining the heat,
n long time. In this mild dimato I. could
not see the uso of double windows, however
desirable, they might bo in the neighbor
hood of St. Petersburg and Moscow,
From the double decker we wended our
way to the Indian village, separated from
th;; town by a picket fence. We i nte red
througk a gate, ut which a soldier was
standing guard. .Nearest the Rale on the
Indian side, not, far from the shore, stands
a fae-.simile of Noah's ark, as represented
in illustrated prime rs. Il was built, by tin-
liiisstans lor a lloating saw nml and is now
used nn a (rovcrnuicnl store house for coal.
My companion w bo is tint, well versed iu
scripture lore, remembering only the pic
tures, insisted il was the original. Next to
this is the Indian, market, where we found
tbefnsh carcasses id' deer and large tlal
S'piniv cakes, resembling chew ing tob-tcco.
mad'. of pressed seaweed and called k'okus.
The Scotch eat it under the name ofdulee.
Here wit" also dried berries ami the inner
batk of the hemlock put up in the same
form.
'fhe village contains fnriy or f fiy houses.
The population consists of one thousand In
dians and two thousand dogs. Oi'liii d-jx,
till bul one nre of the s.'.uie sharp-cared,
wolii.-h type s-'eti aming the Indian:' of the
plains. The exception was a bandy-'e-.-ged,
lttp-cared cur of civilii d breed, 'the' only
one among the two thousand that showed
a lack ,f civility by barking at our heels.
The ho'.i.' es iniie'i mure resemble the semi
sub'.errauean abode, of the Laplanders and
Ksquimaux than the wigwams of American
Indians. Like '.lie oak described by the
Konian poet, they extend ns far into the
earth as above it." Some of tlietn are. from
twenty to thirty feet square, and built of
very wide cedar planks, many of them
more than four feel across, wot keel out dy
these rude people.'
We entered several. Creeping through
apertures, s-jnarj iin-l round, not more
than three feet in diameter, we de
scend, d iligbts ol' steps info the largo sin
gle room. In the centre of each a lire was
built on the ground, and in th" centi- of
etch roof a hoi;, out of which passed a
small portion of the smoke, the most of it.
remaining for the benefit of the salmon
banging over our heads, and to make n.iv
eyes for the intuaKs. The whole inside is
lioored, except '.he lira-place in the middle.
On both sides are the sleeping places, cov
ered with skins nnd blankets, and in some
instances separated by low pa! lili"t:s. In
the rear, an.l on shelves above the dormi
tories, wi ve stored potatoes and dried sal

A Washington correspondent is facetious
over the bridal couples who thick to tho
Capital to otijoy their hoiiey-moon.
II.1 says: There must be some undis
covered magnet which brings so many
happy pairs to Washington. They llourisli
iu such numbers iu no other city, but the
secret has not been discovered. Vou meet
Idem everywhere, and at all hours no, not
nt all hums, unit ss you take your breakfast
very late. If you go down Io your break
fast, say half-past ten or eleven, you will
sec a perfect school, or llock, or drove ef
Iheai. Tin-re they Bit at the little rouuel
tabh s nil over the room and they look very
pretty I mean the brides of course, for thei
mi n. great sheepish fellows, are not worth
looking at.
There they sit., in the propercst kind of
i altitudes ; tliey wuiihl not have you tor tho
! world think thev were at that very moment
i the happiest gjr!s on earth. Their dress is
; of tiie propi ri si kind a subdued or neutral
; shade, I rimmed with velvet and fiingeof
embroidery ; a dainty little li.it, with a bow
i of rihho'i, a patch of velvet, a plume, a
j shred of lace, nnd a bright llower trying to
' hide among them all, even as she is'trying
j to bide tin; blushes that come and go on
: her round cheeks. The little doves always
; come to breakfast iti their hats, and carry
; their little coats, and miiTs and gloves in
; th.er little hands. This is the style, fair
: girls, il you have any such thing in view.
! Mie may pi right back to her room and
j read ov. r the letters be used to write her
I all day long, aud lint go out. of the hotel at
! all ; but it is the style to down wild hat
j on and all thiuss ready.
, It is very amusing to watch thes2 people
I al the hotel. They come to every meal
j breakfast, lunch, elinner and supper. At
bn-akfast they look very pretty, at lunch
i so-so, al dinner they are resplendent, and
! at supper pale nud' I ired. Vou sett them
' iu lle.-ii best. at. dinner. It is there that
' they shake out tin- wrinkles in their new
' dressis. Yesterday the pretty bride) went,
to dinner in black silk and Fo'e itriontes;
. to-day she wore a light-blue silk, long train,
I rimmed with ;."i'iu' "y..'eyer; to-morrow she
will wear ashes of rose silk, with white
satin trimming and fringe ; the day follow-,
ing. if she stay so long, she v ill wear a very
hands-i:iie black silk walking suit, and tho
filiowing ui'iening you will see her at tho
early breakfast wiih her demure liuie trav
eling suit on. for she is going in the morn
ing train going bark to hegm her future
' but whether lor good or ill depends largely
on herself.
