JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduated from one of the most eminent Colleges In the United States, aud the greater part of whose ife has been spent in the hospitals of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has effected some of the most astonishing cures that were ever known ; many troubled w 1th ring ing In the head and care when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at suddcu sounds, bushfulncss, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of miud, wcrecured immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have lnjurrd themselves by improper Indulgence and solitary habits, which ruin both body aud mind, unfitting them for cither business, study, society or mar riage. Tukhb arc some of the sad and melancholy effects produced by early habits of youth, via; tcuKuexs 01 1110 Back aud Limbs, Pains iu the Back ai d Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepny, Nervous In n ability, Derangement of Diuesiive Functions, Geucial Debility, Symptoms of Con sumption, Ac.

What a pity that a young man, the hope of bis country, the darling of bis parents, should be Buutchcd from all prospects and enjoyments of lite, by the consequence of deviating Ironi tho path of nature aud indulging in a certain secret habit. Such persons mcst, beforo conteuiplaliug MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through life becomr a weary pilgrimage ; tho prospect hourly darkens to tho view ; the mind become! shadowed with despair und tilled with the melan choly rejection, tiiut the huppiuuss of another becomes blighted with ourowii. A CLllTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure linds that he has imbibed the seeds of thiB painful disease, it too ofleu happens that an Ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deter! him from applying to those who, from education aud respectability, cau alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ot this horrid disease make their uppearauce, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noetural pains iu the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes ou tho shiu bones and urms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at lust the palute of the mouth or the bones of the nose full in, aud the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to hi! dreadful sintering, by sending him to " that Undiscovered Country from wheueo uo traveller returns." It is a mclaucholy fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through fulling into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use of thut deadly Poi son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, aud incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sullerer mouth after month taking their uoxious or lu- JuiioiiB compounds, and instead of being restored to a renewal ot iite vigor and ltuppluess, lu des pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over his galling disappointment. Tu such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him soil' to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and from his extensive practice aud observations lu the great Hospitals of Europe, aud the first iu this country, viz 1 England, Krauce, Philadelphia and elsewhere, is enabled to oiler the most cer tain, speedy aud effectual remedy la the world for all diseases of Imprudence.

The r.je. Tho sculptor Crawford wii3 accustomed all his life to read lying down. To this physicians very largely uUributo thu loss of iiis eye. Very soon a cancer formed iu the nlher which caused his death. The great historian I'resuolt lost his eye sight when a student, by a bit of bread thrown in sport by a fell nv-studeut at the table. Never be. careless in such little, matters. A pair of scissors or a fork, thrown in sport or anger, has often caused the loss of an eye, which the wealth of the world cmrWbt replace. A friend, who was very ambitious lo finish a set of linen for her brothers, spent iihui Kl a v. iuter in line slitchiug, sitting up often lute tit night over ti e work, iu which she took gieat delight. The result was tho nerve of the eye was so Injured th it she was obliged wholly to give up sewing.knU ting and reading under penalty of becoming perfectly blind. A young lady, who lived but ten miles by train from school, used to spend thu timo in studying a certain, lesson while she was riding down in the morning. The re sult wasa severe all'eetiou of tho eyes, which disabled her lrom study for a long time. It is always hurtful to tho eyes to read in the train, though wo may not eoo tho bad ef fects so plainly when it happens only occa sionally. A steady practice, like this young lady's, may produce even worse re sults when the system is iu a bad state. Never read by twilight, nor beforo eating in the morning. Thu little you gain in lime will bu doubly lost by a failing of the cyesisihl long beforo life's sundown. I kuow a young clergyman who is a re markably wcll-ruad man, but whose eyes are a perfect deformity, lie said ho ru ined them by reading at night, long and intently, when bu was gelling his educa tion lie seems to bavo uo control of tho lids, which twitch and move in a most gro tesque manner. JJou't fancy you enn do what you please with your eyes aud yet have them servo you faithfully. Take as good caro of them as you would of gold,f ir gold can never replace lost eyesight. .Onb morning during the lato war, an olttcer riding through the woods of Xorth Alabama, was attracted by a tall, lank countryman, who seemed to be using his best endeavors to reach the top of a large hickory tree. Scarcely had he gained tho summit, when, rapidly descending, he started up another tree a few yards fur ther oil'. This strange proceeding was con tinued at least a dozen times, thu country man climbing aud descending one tree af ler another for nearly a quurU-r of a mile. The otlieer at length overtaking him, in quired the cause of his eccentric gyrations. "Wal, stranger," he answered, "I was lyin' asleep under you hickory, when a darned squirrel dropped a fchelluark into my eye. l,m goth' to worry him till he leaves the settlement, if 1 die in the at tempt."

A SciiooLMAS'i'Eit tells tha following good one : "I was once teaching in a quiet country village. Tho second morning of thu session 1 had time to survey my sur roundings, aud among the seamy furniture 1 espied a three-legged stool. 'Is this the dunce block t' I aked a little girl of live years. The dark eyes sparkled, the curls nodded assent, and the lips rippled out, '1 guess so. Tha teacher always sits ou it.' One of the saddest sights In this season of tho year is a young mau who has waited outside the church of an evening until he Is chilled through, ouly to Bee his girl walk off with some rascal who has beeu inside all the time, toasting his siuful thins at the stove. New Scries, Vol. I. Xo. 40. OIl Kcrle, Vol. fl3, Mo. 5. Stkatdy fcrroiiT. Great results are generally accomplished by steady, per sistent effort. Success ia almost 'certain to follow lite labor of him who, in tho morning, enters upon tho duties of the day with a definite object in view, nnd directs all his energies to its accomplish ment, permitting nothing, to swerve him from his purpose, or iuduce him to relax his efforts. That energy that comes by fits and starts rarely produces any tan gible results. Powerful it .nay be" for a little while, but it soon subsides and leaves no tangible good to show that it ever ex isted. This fitful energy can bu compared to nothing better than an attack of cramp colic. When a fellow is seized with cramp he writhes and twists nnd squirms und throws himself into every conceivable shape aud position, but as snou ns the pain subsides, tired out by tho effort, he becomes tranqu'.l and quiet till visited by another attack. Well, so it is with this spasmodic energy. When a fellow is attacked by it he nmkrs a wonderful luss, Him you wouai imagine iiihi lie was going to do some mighty thing ; but in 1 a little while tho spoil passes oil is just as quiet and gcutlo as u aud dead lamb. T lieu theso spasmodic spells ef energy don't work in the same direction. Every new attack takes a different course. 1".-1 the victim could begin again where 1,.. : t..r. n-i,i.r. n. uii.,,.1 c,,i7B;.i,..i i, .;..!. I 1 get something done; but that he never : does. The reason of this is, these itfui ; efforts nro not tho offspring of the judg- incut, but original in thu emotional feel- ; ings. The attack is suro to follow strong excitement, and when tho excitement subsides the spell passes off, ami the victim is quiet till you tire him up ngaiu. Tho eloquent oratots who, during the lato unpleasantness, were always telling tho people, "It is glorious to die for one's country," were remarkably careful to leave that honer for samo more practical fellow to enjoy. The eloquent divine, who, in one of his fils of patriotism, ex claimed. "The sweetest death is death from the whistling bullet," never went wloiro ! he 'could even hear th'j zip zip zip of these sweet ihessengiTs that perforated a fellow to let the soul escape; but the more! practical fellow, who wasted no time in j dishing out such sense, less twaddle, w ho j said, "It's horrible ; 1 don't like it, but; the old llag must bo respected," bared his ' breast to the leaden rain, mnrehed all night : and fought all day, bending all his pov- j ers unceasingly to the accomplishment of ; his one grand aim the salvation of the country, nnd the supremacy of the law j did something tangible, something real. We knew a general ofiiccr during the ; late war, who was subject to "speP.s of! morality," as the boys called them. As soon as tho signs of the times indicated an ' approaching light ho would not only get : terribly Scared, bill terribly pious, ami be gin holding meeiinge, nud convening coun- ' cils to devise 'means for the "moralizing" : of his men; but junt as soon as the light' was over and the snare was off. he would , got n little drunker than most other yent-'e- 1 !)kui. His elfji-ts lo do good not only fail- 1 ed iu the object intended, hut did postlivo ; harm. Had he pursued a steady course, ! nnd persistently labored for the moral i welfare of his command, he would h&vu ', most unquestionably ace j:n;)iis!ijd much good. 1 We have heard men shout glory so loud that the'most natural thing in the world ; was to look for a pair of wings to crop out j under their arms, and see them start on au '. aerial voyage; but they didn't, and the; next day, when the excitement was oil", they were just about us earthly a set ns could handily he found. and would no more . think of giving a dollar to save a "Chinee" I than iu taking stock in a railroad lo the moon. The energy they exhibited was born of feeling, and was as unstable as the i morning mist. Had it b.en the out i growth of principle, steady, persistent ef- ' fort would mark their actions. i The man who has a purposo in life ! never goes oil' in one of these tits, lu- i stances, he controls cireutnstaces, and ! moulds them to his purpose. Ho is not i easily vanquished indeed, is altuott in- i vincible and invulnerable. The maddening torrent may pour from J ihe hillside, and dash its force upon the j rock beneath, but when the clouds hold up their rain the channel becomes dry, aud we j liud no impression of" the tempest on the j surface of the rock.

It does not originate in oceans aud seas. Bains wash it and hold it iu solution as particles are liberated by violence, decomoosiliou nnd gradual action of many natuttil forces. All streamlets and rivers," therefore, nre con stantly transporting 6alt to the sea. If there is more than can be held in Solution, then it accumulates in masses nt very deep poiuts, which, in ihe revolution to which matter is subject, may again bo a stratum of salt somewhere remote from where the mass was formed. Thus the salt mines of Portland and vast horizontal bed of pure salt in Texas, ns well as that mountain of rock salt iu San Domingo, were collected at the bottom of ancient seas which are. now dry laud remote from wafer. There are places iu Africa where tho process of disintfegaUon of i'alt from rocks is regular ly going on, but there is not water power euough to force it ouwardly to thu ecu. Hence thu particles are spread abroad nnd mixed up with the soil. Tho negroes of Kalliul, in Northern Africa, having discov- j ered its distribution where there is uo i water to dissolve in the ground, leach it. In that way they sepaiate thu salt. JSy evaporating tho water holding it in solu tion, an excellent articlo for domestic pur poses is produced. Salt jwrvade the earth. It exists in thu grasses aud most vegetable products ou which auimals feed. Iu that way they derive enough in most countries to meet the demands of their nature. They rpquire aS much a civilized humauUy. With tl.eui salt is necessary &s with our selves, for keeping the rtrgaus of vision in good coudiliou. Stop tbo supply uud blindness would be universal.
