which annually sweeps to an untimely grave

living lyre, may call with full confidence.

j oung persons are too apt to commit excesses

UK. alUllMBTO:,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from ono of the most eminent
Colleges In the United States, nnd the greater
part of whose ife has been siicut in the hospitals
of Ixindon, Pris, Philadelphia nnd elsewhere,
has effected some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known j many troubled with ring
ing m the Head and cars when nslccp, great
nervousness, being alarmed nt sudden sounds,
bnshfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mlud, were cured
immediately.
TAKK I'AUTICLLAK NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have in I u ml
themselves by improper indulgence uud solitary
habits, which ruin both body uud mind, unfitting
them for either business, study, society or mar
rhige. TincsK arc some of the sad and melaueholv
etlects produced by early habits of youth, viz: I
VNcnkncss ot the nucK and l.lnilie, fains In tho
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of .Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspcpsy,
.crvoiis immunity, iicrangement ol Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, V:c.
Mkntai.i.v The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con- j
fusion ot ideas, Depression of Spirits, hvil
Forcbodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, iVe., are some of the
evils produced.
Tuoi samis of ihtsoiis of nil ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
uud emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough uud symptoms of consump
tion. VOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by a certain prac
tice Indulged iu when alone, u habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
effects of which ure nightly felt, even when
asleep, and If not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply Immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature uud Indulging In a certain secret
habit. Such jiorsoiis mi st, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind uud body arc the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage! tho prospect
hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair uud tilled with the melan
choly retlcclloii, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided uud imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has Imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that uu
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and rcsieetubility, cau ulouc befriend
bini, delaying till the const it utioiial symptoms ol
this horrid disease make their up)earaiicc, such
us ulcerated sore throat, diseased uose, nocliiral
pains iu the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones uud urius,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till ut lust the
palate of the mouth or the bones of tho nose full
in, uud the victim of tills awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " tluit Uudiseovered Country from whence
uo traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terriblo disease, through falling
Into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who. by the use of that deadly Pol-
sou, Mercury, t:c., destroy the constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer j
Moiiiii aiier iiionui uiMiig ineir noxious or in
jurious compounds, and Instead of liciug restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor nud Happiness, iu des
pair leave him with ruined Health to slh over
his galllug disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, uud
from his extensive practice and observulious In
the great Hospitals of Europe, aud the first li:
this couutry, viz Eugland, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most eer
tuiu, speedy aud effectual remedy iu the world
for all discuses of imprudence.

LOST IX A UK EAT CITY.
Crutch A Armless did ;t lively business
as wholcsalo grocers. I was clerk in their
store My name is DoraT Timothy Do
ray, My wife's name is Letty, for short,
and my thrco-ycnr old baby a mighty fino
boy is nick-iiamf-d Toddler.
Misfortunes, which is not necessary to
specify, luivo forced nio lo work nt a salary
of seventy-five dollars per month to support
this family, whom 1 hold dearer than any
thing else on earth.
At tho limo of my loss, or rather tho
latter part of April, I, with tho other
clerks, labored early nnd late, day and
night, tho season of trade being unusually
active, to which was added our prepara
tions ibr removing on tho first of May to
the new store of tho firm. Business kept
mc jumping all the time. I swallowed my
breakfast iu a few nioulhfuls, in order to
bo in lime at tho store. I lived so far
away, over two miles, that I couldn't go
to dinner.
Oftentimes I went without my supper,
reaching homo at eleven o'clock at uight.
Consequently I only saw Toddler to sx.ak
to him on Sundays, and my wife perhaps
an nour or two a uay.
JCo woudor sho was lonesome and given
to imaginings of tho worst kind as to my
condition of body, fancying mo dead or
mutilated, the victim of some dire calami
ty, whenever I failed to come home at tho
usual time. All in till, it was a dog's life;
but what cau a fellow do when he's its poor
as nn ecclesiastic mouse.
One night lelty asked abruptly as I en
tered :
"Seen Dr. Craven to-day, Tim ?'
"2svo," was my answer, ''it's not the first
of tho mouth."
"Dtlt hos bcou here. Our rent is to be
raised ten dollars a month from tho first of
May," and she drew back ns if the belter
to study my face under the effect of tho an
nouncement. Then, as I was silent, she
burst out with :
"We'll stay, of course. We'll live and
work fur him, instead of ourselves and the
baby."
"I can't get away from the store to huut
a house."
"Leave it to mo. I'll get one nearer the,
store, cheaper rent, nnd a newer building.
It cau be done. I'll do it if you'll let me."
"All right. I prophesy tears for your
trouble."
"Not more than if we stay. You don't
realize what we have to endure, with no
one but Toddy to amuse me."
"JJo more social with your neighbors," I
suggested.
"My neighbors !" scornfully. "That's
just like a man. Do you know who are
our neighbors ? Of course not. A pros
perous, wholcsalo washer-woman on one
side, and a dilapidated old quack doctor
and his mummilied wife on the other ; in
front, a parade ground for geese. Visitors
none save that insurance solicitor, who
seems to como ouly when you 6)eud an
evening at home, aud so spoil my happi
ness with his figures. believe lie "watches
for you. Aud his wife what a dowdy. 1
shall die if 1 have to stay."
"Do ns you like, but tho time is short. I
wish I could go."
"Jlush 1 nut a word. I'll be glad to do
it, you good old man. I'll begiu in the
morning."
The next evening I was lucky enough to
reach home by nine o'clock, and get a kiss
and a hug from Toddler, napping in his
mother's arms, lie had been enjoying life
with Widow Martin's little girl next door,
and so his dissipation kept him awake
longer than usual.
"I have seen one cottage that I think
will please you," began my wife. "It's!
about a mile from your store, and we've
becu living two miles away, you know."
"Horse cars or 'bus to ft ?"
"That's the trouble. There aro neither
of these at present. You must walk."
"Can't do it."
"It will do you good. Walking is a
healthy exercise."
"Ci'u't help it I've corns."
"Cut them !" speaking with sharp deci
sion. "What nre corns compared with
health nnd happiness-"
"And the shado trees, and yard and
neighborhood r" were my next Interroga
tories. "Shado trees ono currant bush ! Yard
large enough for it cord of wood, saw-buck
and a man to saw ; nnd the neighborhood
quiet and moral, being near a small ceme
tery. I knew you would not like the place.
I'll search agaiu to-morrow."
"That's right. Don't despair. Oct the
boy a yard that shall bo largo enough to
tau his hide by the sun, of course."
"Timothy ! JIow can you talk so about
your darling t Suppose- wo should lose
Toddler.
"We'll not suppose it. Try again Ixtty.
Perhaps you'll run into nn atom of Kdeu
that will come within the limits of our
Spinncrless treasury. Wo must leave here,
as the lilU'tor ll:ia r.tntfwl it Xr ! toM
t.O-(l.'ll Tfni-i'u tli. tii,i.iiiw. ....w... T ..,.. '
.v j a !. ... i.iii a
see what places want a tenaut."
Iu half au hour she had a list of places
to see the next day. Wo must Mud some
thing or live in the street, which would bo
unpleasant, though economical.
It was settled tho next night. I knew
by her smiles. A lovely cottage situated
so, with two poplars iu front, a largo back
yard large enough to hold our week's wash
ing on the line ; half a miln walk, with
'busses, cars, and all the modern improve
ments." "Ilobsou's choice, my dear," was my
comment.
"The best we cau get for our moucy, I
thiuk," she replied.
That settled it. The next day would be
the first of May, according to calendars aud
landlords. My wife kindly volunteered to
superintend the moving, us I should be
busy all day aud night ut the store trans
ferring goods.

location of our new home had passed en
tirely out of my mind.
"Put it down on paper," I said to my
wifo after reluming. "I cant trust my
memory for a day or two."
I put the slip iuto my pocket and turned
away.
"Dou't go, Tim," spoko Letty, with a
sudden ana unusual sadness in her voice.
Her eyes were tearful. "It's bad luck to

That was a hard work wo did that night
and day for Crutch As Armless. Not a
minuto's let up uutil thrco o'clock in the
morning, when we had a hot supper and nn
hour's rest. Then at it we went again for
tho day.
I labored iu my thoughts with mv wifo
nud her share of trouble, and with wonder
ing as to how sho was getting along, nnd
performing my duties ns mechanically as a
stcm engine.
It was a very long day to mc, nnd not
one of the men was more glad than I when,
early iu tho evening Mr. Crutch como to
the ollice door nnd said they thanked tm
very much for Ihc way we had worked and
what wo had done and that wc might quit
until the next day.
Ho guessed matters would run smoothly
now. I was anxious to seo my family nnd
hurried away. After lapid walking for n
couple of blocks, it suddenly occured to mo
1 was on my way to my old residence, nnd
that the street aud number was utterly
passed from my memory, and that my wile
had given mc a memorandum.
Stopping under a gas light. I felt in my
pocket where the paper should have been.
It was not there. All the other pockets
searched, turned inside out : but the pre
cious paper was not lo be found. It didn't
matter how I lost it, it was gone. Then I
tried my best to recall the location, but
half a dozen numbers and streets came iuto
my mind all at once. I had uo trail of the
home of my wife and child.
At nine o'clock at night who could tell
me where I lived. I was so worn out with
work that this predicament brought the
tears to tuy eyes for a minute. Apprclicn
lions culminated nnd I shivered.
What would Letto think of this absence
Where, O, where was she? When it came
into my confused bruin sho had said some
thing about Stewart avenue tho number I
could not recall I started on a run for
that street nud, reaching it, wandered to

face, the houses to note if nny one of them
answered to the description sho had given.
Vaiu labor.
Sick at heart I retraced my steps aud
-.vent to the police headquarters.
"What is wanted V" said the polico offi
cial. "Au odd occurrence I have lost my
wife."
"Yes I Dlcss your soul that's not odd.
Men come here with that news every day.
Do yon know the road what traiu she

"Pshaw ! 1 don't mean tliat," with nn
angry feeling at his stupidity. "My wifo
moved ou the 1st, and I have lost the ad
dress she gave me. It's funny, but deuced
unpleasant," I added apologetically as two
or three men began to laugh.
"Well, that is" odd," the official, a cap
taiu agreed ; "but 1 cannot sec how wc
can help you."
"Xorl.jusl at present. You can nd
vise me, perhaps."
"You don't know the street, you say.

"Never saw hitu nor heard of liiru." I
answered.
"Wifo got any friends here brothers,
sisters, mints or uncles ?"
"No intimate friends or relatives. We're
comparatively strangers here."
"Well, I don't know what to do. Per

misery of heart.
"ISy the way," continued the captain,
following mo to the door, "does your wile

"Sometimes."
"Wouldn't sho be likely to buy them un

"Perhaps."
"Wait a bit!"
lie stepped to tho desk and wrote for
two or three minutes.
"Suppose you put this iu one of tho daily

"She'd know what was wanted. Nobo

"Excellent, thank you again, sir. It j
anybody comes hero for me you'll kuow
where to send them." j
After going to the principal daily paper,
ami losing tne excitement ol Having some
thing to do to employ my thoughts, there
camo upon mc, as I walked the almost si
lent street, a loneliness and desolatiou that
was appalling.
What a miserable, unhappy night thai
was 1 Nearly the whole lime was passed
in a chair by the window, at the hotel
whero I had stopped. I couldn't sleep. If
my eyes closed iu drowsiness, I was imme
diately beset by terriblo dreams about my
wife and child. Awake, my thoughts were
Conjectures and apprehensions about their
safety. I pictured llictn siek, alone iu a
strange neighborhood, with no one to ap
peal to for assistance. I imagined robbers
working at the doors, or rutlians making
night hideous with their blasphemy. No
evil seemed impossible of success against
those defenseless two, uow that 1 was away.
As I drowsed now aud then, 1 would be
aroused by what seemed the plaintive, be
seeching cull of my wifo as if sho were in
thu room. Au alarm of tiro was sounded,
and I pictured to myself Cho burning of my
house. Such a night I hope I may never
again endure, so filled was every miuute
aud hour with the most horrid fancies.
When the gray light of early mot uing
spread through liie streets, and copio be
gan to move about, 1 tottered out of that
dismal hotel, uud went shivering aud wea
ry into thu half night, half day, so that I
might walk away from tho thoughts that
had tormented my soul iu the darkness.
Where was the utui thbtouu ou which the

coals wcro rod for my coming ? Wliero
the loving wife and child for whom I yearn
ed with an a(l'cctio,u never before tried ?
Why hadn't they como for me ?
Sometimes I fniiphed aloud at my posi
tion, which Would be so ludicrous when we
Were 'again United. As the sun rose so
rose my spirits, and I stepped off briskly,
waudering here nud there iu regions to inu
heretofore unknown.
Tho panorama of high life and low life
at live o'clock in iho morning is unique
but attractive.
Finally I settled down in a restaurant
for my breakHist, aud unfolding my morn
ing paper. There was my advertisement.
What an odd thing to be sure. How we
would laugh over it somo dny--perhaps to
day or to-morrow, wifo and I.
"Eh V What's this I cried out to my
self as my eyes rested on this paragraph in
a prominent place.
"Missing. Mr. Timothy Dorey lias been
missing from his homo sineu the night of April
30. No reason is known for ills mysterious dis
appearance. Any Information will'bc thankful
ly received by his nttlietcd wife. '
In all my life I never knew of anything
quite so extraordinary a husband and wifo
lost iu a city, and each advertising for the
other. I could hear my heart beat with
joy as I realized that at last there was a
clue to my home.
Not a mouthful of breakfast had been
eaten. I was feasting on the joy of my
discoveries. I contemplated for a few min
utes in an epicurean way, the (hftuner of a
discovery, then started for the ollice of that
excellent morning paper, that valuable
journal whose circulation was limited ouly
by uudiseovered and unexplored lands.
That editor was an ungel, seen through
my eyes just then, nud his printers were all
of them cherubs of a mammoth develop
ment. Glory 1 I'd have my wile and baby
within an hour. sure.
1 was walking briskly, my eyes fixed on
the pavement, my thoughts hours ahead
anticipating, when suddenly somo one
caught my arm, roughly, exotaiming :
"Hero, you I Can't you stop V A lady
has been running after you for half a block.
Vou're worse than a horse car to stop," and
then without wailing he passed ahead.
As I looked at him with augry astonish
ment a little hand grasiwd my arm, lhero
was tho rustle of a dress and quickly drawn
breaths.
"Tim, what is the matter ?" said the fig
ure as sho followed the qttestiou, right ou
the street, with a kiss.
Of course it was my wife,
"What is the matter V" she asked again.
"Why havn't you come home V Where
have you been '( O, s-haine to desert poor
Toddler !" clutching my arm and laughing
hysterically.
I felt like catching her up in my arms,
so great was my delight, but a duo regard
for the publio restrained that exess of
emotion.
As it was I looked at her with hungry
eyes, and with my heart bumping in my
throat and my tongue dangled with a con
fusion of words I wanted to utter all at
once. I presented a stature of glad sur
prise, motionless as if iu stone.
"Why don't you speak, Tim, to your
poor wife V Tell her what has kept you
away so long I Jxit us uot stand here wilh
tho people staring so."
"I'm happy now, wife, to begiu wilh.
Put that down ns a credit mark as long as
from here to the North Polo. I didn't go
home because I didn't know where to go."
"Didn't you know whereto go?" she
echoed.
"No ! I lost the location out of my head,
nnd your memorandum out of my pocket.
I have had lo wait until you found me
as you have, thank you ! 'Why didu't you
go to the store V"
"So I did, the old one. No one was Ihore
uot an animate thing lo say where the new
store was, you never informed me."
"So I didn't, I forgot it. Why didn't
you go to the police V"
"I forgot it never entered my head.
You see 1 nm not used to u missing hus
band. O, I'vo been so miserable, and
Tim, there is a gentleman beckoning lo
you."
It was Mr. Armless in his carriage.
"Seen the paper this morning, Doray V"
he nskeii as 1 camo up.
" Yes, sir I Tins is my wife, Mr. Armless.

"I'm very glad to know this, and your- j
self, madam" he en id bowing. "I was just :
on my way to the newspaper office to give
my testimony. I'm eju.l it, turned out so '
nicely." lie bowed, touched up his horses, '
then stopped them. j
"liy Ihc way, Doray," he began, as we j
came up, "take a couple of days' leave 1 j
you are entitled to it. It'll bo all right at j
the store," nnd with that he was away
without waiting to hear our thanks. j
Alter that wo walked homeward likelov-1

at the streets as we came before our house,
and made a mental calculation. j
Ix'tty. Letty," I cried in self-reproach,
"this house is only live blocks from our new I
store !" j
"It has been a thousand miles away for j

I looked into tho yard of tho mansion. !
Hless his dear little heart, there was Tod- i

the superintendence of a miss of six sum

amusing anecdote is now going the rounds
of the English clubs and messes. It is said
to have happened quite recently.- An of

wrote back stating that the porter named
had conveyed his baggage from one station
to tho other, and that he would otherwise
have had to make use of a cab, which would
have cost Is. (id. lu answer to this he re
ceived an official reply stating that under,
these circumstances his claim would be aN,
lowed, but that he should use the term'
"porterage" instead of "porter." He, uu-,

which seized him, answered to tho cfiect
Hint, although he could uot discover a pre-;
cedent for the word "porterage," he would
nevertheless do ns he was told, and wished,
