TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injnrrd

What a pity that a young man, the hope of his j
country, the dariintf of Ills parents, bould be J
snutehei. from all prospects and enjoyments ol
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature un.l indulging in a certain secret
bublt. Such persons iit sT, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind und body are the most
necessary requisites to promote couuubiul happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view j the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly lellecilon, that the happiness of unothur
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided nud imprudent votary of
pleasure tiiuls that he has imbibed thc seeds of
this painful disease. It too often happens that an
111-lliiicd sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him lixjui upplyiug to those who, trom
education and respectability, cuu ulone befriend
him, dcluvlug till the constitutional symptom of
this horrid diseusc make their appearance, such
us ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturul
pains iu the head aud limbs; dimness o.f sight,
dealnebt, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, luce and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till ot last tl.-j
palate of the mouth or the bones of the uoscfull
In, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadlul sutU-riug, Ity semlmg
him to "that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It Is a melancholy laet that thousands DIL
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
Into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, l.y the. use ot lual aeumy roi
sott; Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, aud
lucapablc 01 curing, keep uio unnoppv suuerer
mouth ufler month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of beiug restored
to a reucwul ol J.iiu Igor ami nappiuess, iu uc-
I Mir leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
lis galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr; Johnston' pledges him
self to preserve the most inviolable Secrecy, uud
froiU his extensive practice and obecrvuiiuns iu
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the tirst iu
this country, viz : England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, Is enabled to otter the most cer
tain, speedy uud effectual remedy iu the world

As the coach went off in a whirl
And the coachman bowed bis handsome head,
"Be good to yowtelfmj girl !"
Ah ! many a fond good-by I've hcurd,
From many an aching heart
And innny afrlcudl)' farewell word,
When strangers came to part.
And I've heard thousand merry quips,
And many n sense. ls Joke,
And many a fervent prayer trom lips
Tim', all a-trcmbllug spoke.
And many a bit of good ndvlcn
In smooth proverbial phrase I
And many a wlh: of little price
For health and huppy days.
But musing how the human soiil

Still measures by its self-control
Its greatest good or il.

"iut JuJgc )ou never told nia vliy you

'thought that matter was sntilt-d, but sud
denly We were surprised by the news that
you had married a stranger in the city, and
Jloleti Van Horn was lelt disconsolate. I
Wonder what has become of her ; she must
have married well, however ; she had a line
chauco to choose, for there was scarcely a
good match in Ihu city that was not at her
command at one time.
' Ves, yes," answered the gentleman ad
dressed Judge Hume, a distinguished,
handsome, intelligent looking mau of about
forty-live years of age ; a successful law
yer, who had some years before bti rais
ed to the judicial bench almost by acclama
tion. "No woman could well have, mar-

"i ou knew her father," began the .Tudge,
"and will remember that Tta was reputed to
bu very rich. However, it turned out.
upon his death, and after his tlebts were
I'11" ' was left a mere
nittancc
for Helen, obliging her, the petlcd child of
lomiun, to live witli extreme economy ever
since."
"Do you mcau that she has never mar
ried ?" asked his guest.
"Married!" repeated Hume ; "no in
deed. Aud in tliat way may be seen the
moral of my story to which I have referred.
Ikit do not let mo anticipate ; let us be'in
at the begfnning." M linni an cngagc
...cuVWil'.Y(HlWs' v"i?!i Horn, as the scivant
ushered me announced into the parlor, I
found her engaged In an animated conver
sation with a singularly handsome young
man, who, I saw at a glance, might readily
become a formidable rival, and 1 felt for an
instant a fhurp pang of that unaniiable,
disconcerting juss.ion, jealousy, lint as
my entrance had been ' unobserved I was
able to recover myself before saying in my
blandest manner, "good evening." The
gcutlcmau started and Millly returned my
bow. As for Helen, with suffused cheeks
she said, 'Why, -Mr. Hume, 1 did not hear
you at all ; you tire absolutely as gentle us
a lamb.' "
''Somewhat angry at her satirical tone, 1
observed that she was engaged it) couver
what confusedly, looking from the stranger
to me, "I had quite forgotten all about it,
aud 60 promised Mr. Churchill here to ac
company him to see liichelieu to-night."
"I glanced toward the stranger, and he
returned the glance with a slight frown on
his face. Miss Van Iloru continued, 'Hut,
oh ! I beg your pardon, gentlemen, I had
lorgoltcn you were not acquainted Willi
each other. Mr. Hume, this is my friend,
Mr. Churchill, of rticlimond,' anil she care
lessly fell back inlo the chair, from which
she had risen for the moment."
''1 am very sorry Miss Van Horn has so
treacherous a memory ; but hope Mr.
Churchill with your approval cuu be
prevailed Upon to defer his engagement,
for I assure you the picture is A rare geiu,
and well worth seeing. 1 persisted in this,
because I had become slightly roused by
tho honing!! paid her, and there seemed to
be a gleiiui bf triumph lu tho face of niy
rival.
"The youug man looked at me gravely,
then silently turned to Miss Van Horn lor
some expression of her wishes. He was
evidently much displeased at my interrup
tion of their little tete-a-tete, aud was suill
cieully interested u the htny to be serious
ly rutlled by my seeming rivalry ; he was
not altogether pleased with the fact that
she seemed so careless with respect to her
entrairenientA. which did not accord with
his standard of women, lie. was an edu
cated, comely young man, ot good fortune,

that Geu. Hartranft is thc mark for every

the shock of tho battle, it is our duty as
good Republicans, all the inoro firmly to
stand by him. I, for oue, hnvo good rea

integrity is above reproach. Late in the

willingly made acquainted with those who

against him, About nine o'clock in the
morning, I received n note requesting my
presence at one 01 me rooms oi the l.ocliiel.
There I was introduced by oue of my con
stituents, who it was subsequently shown,
was one of Evan's securities, to Ocorgo O.
Evans, accused of appropriating $291,900
of the State's moneys, to Dr. Payuo, tlie
Attorney General Strohan, and others.
These parties wished me to introduce to
the House A Series of resolutions impeach
ing the honesty of Hartranft in bis man
agement of tlui nuilititii department, nnd
of Mackcy, the chief of the Treasury. They
Went into a long explanation Of their pro
posed movement, and endeavored to pledge
mo that if 1 became its Legislative cham
pion, my nameshculd bo heralded through
out tho State and nation as a "model re
former." They spoke largely of their pow
er and means, saying that they could con
trol $300,000, uot for the purpose of pur
chasing votes in favor of the resolutions,
but as a moral support to the movement
that this amount and this support would
come through some unnamed channel of
reform. They named many of the news
papers that could bo freely counted upon
to back the undertaking by glowing arti
cles and such evidence as would at least
wakeu suspicion iu the public mind.
Among these newsnaoers were named the
New York Tribune aud .Sim. the Philadel
phia J'rc.w, aud liucaster, Harrisburgand
1'iltsourg journals ol largo liillueuce. An
introduction of the resolutions would be
immediately followed by flaming articles
from these und other sources, aud, if ne
cessary, thu question could be pushed iu
the Legislature by speeches, aud evidence
could be procured sul!!ctent to injure Hart
ra nil's chances for a nomination' and elec
tion. When asked for this evidence, a
draft, a note, ono or two private letters,
aud til books of V'erkes it Co. , Were shown.
An examination of an hour convinced me
that nothing in the least degree taucib'.e
was produced, and subsequent develop
ments have shown Unit every atom of testi
mony bore only upou private ntld personal
transactions that none of thertl were in
any way connected with tile u?c of the
Slate fluids. When the objection was urg
ed they could not meet it, and the party
plainly showed by word and :tel that their
object was only to ca.-t ail improper suspi
cionthis for purposes of their ownthis,
as they were told, with a view to intimi
date lUrltanft.lV'iiii :inv further tu-osccu-ans,
hen asked to treat the conve.i-;:at011
as cotifulcutial, I told them that Hartrantt
ought to know it ; that as a frieud I would
tell him, and his after conduct would attest
his guilt or innocence. Somewhat to my
surprise, they then manifested a willing
ness that he should be Informed of what
had transpired, and then my suspicions
were continued that the whole movement
was desigued to scare him oil' from a pro
per prosecution. I, however, told Hart
ranft a few minutes after. His reply was :
"These parties have, for the last twenty
four hours, been tryintr to get some one to
introduce their resolutions, and only last
night they ollered me ir.j8.000 to withdraw
the prosecution, and I refuted. The low
est amount due the State may be based up
on the decision or bail fixed bv Judge
Pearson, aud that is JrlOO.tiOO. The suit
shall not be withdrawn until tho State gets
her due, rind if these parties want investi
gation they cati have It." Then followed,
not the introduction of Evans Co., for in
common with myself every one approached

a few of them wero Union men. and still
fewer are now Republicans. The Subdivi

nearly all rebels, and among them such
rebels as Hon. J. P. Ilolcomb, rebel ngenl
in Canada, who married a cousin of Gratz
Brown.
2. Thc Hrowri family proper. Of this
one tlie vast majority were Southern peo
ple, slaveholders, and nearly all of them
rebels, and among them is the noted name
of the Vergers, of Mississippi. Gratz

were his brothers, but tbev are now with
him gone back to the old family roof.
