IOUNQ MEN especially, who have become the victims of Soli tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands of yonng men of the most exalted talents and brilliant Intellect, who might other wise have entranced listening-Senates with the thunders of eloquence or waked to testacy tbe living lyre, may cull witb full confidence.

Married Persons or Young Men contemplating marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss of Procrcative Power Impotency), Nervous Ex citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner vous Debility, or any other Disqualification, speedily relieved. He who places himself under the care of Dr. J. may religiously confide in his honor a a gentle man, and confidently rely unon his skill as a Pb v slcian. ORGANIC WEAKNESS, Impotency, Lofs of Powor, immediately Cured and full Vigor Restored. This Distressing Affection which renders Life miserable and marriage Impossible is the penalty paid by tbe victims of Improper Indulgences. Young persons are too apt to commit excesses from not being aware of the dreadful conseqences that may eusuu. Now, who that understands the subject will pretend to deny that the power of procreation Is lost sooner by those falling into improper" habits than by the prudent 1 Besides bring deprived the plcasuresof healthy offspring, the most serious and destructive symptoms to both body and mind arise.

A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS. Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten ders who keep thorn trilling month after mouth, taking poisonous and Injurious compounds, should apply immediately. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Burgeons, Lon don, Wrsduntcd from one of tbe 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 tbe most astoniobing cures that were ever known ; many troubled w 1th ring lug In the bend and cars when asleep, great nervousness, being alurmcd at sudden sounds, bashl'iilness, witb frcqueut blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have lnjurrd themselves by Improper indulgence and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting lliem lor cither business, study, society or mar riage. Tuksk are some of the sad ana melancholy etlccta produced ty early hublts of youth, vis: Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the Back nnd Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the lleurt, Dyspepsy, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Diifcslive Functions, General Debility, ayuiptoui of Con sumption, eVc. Mentai.lt The fearful effects on the mlud are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Svlf-Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, etc., are some of tbe evils produced. Tuoi'sakds of persona of all ages can now Judge w hat is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous uud emaciated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, cough aud symptoms of consump tion. YOUNG MEN Who have injured themselves by a certain prac tice Indulged in when aloue, a habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at acusol, the effects of which are nightly felt, eveu when uMlcep, nnd if uot cured, reuders marriage impos sible, aud destroys both tuiudsaud body, should apply immediately. What a pity that a young man, the hnpaof his country, the darling of bis parents, should be snatebci from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature and indulging In a certain secret bubit. Such persons ui'bt, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect thut a sound mlud aud bevly are the most necessary requisite to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, tbe Joarney through life becomes u weary pilgrimage; the prospect l'Oiirly darkens to the view ; the mlud becomes shadowed with despair aud tilled with the melan choly retlection, that the huppiuvss of uuotber become blighted with ourowu. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When tbe misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds thut he has Imbibed the seeds of this pumrul disease, it too otleu happens thut an ill-timed sense of shame, or dreud of discovery, deter him from applying to those who, from education uud respectability, can aloue befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol this horrid tliseuse make their uppeurauce, such a ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoctural pains lu the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the ehiu bone mid anus, blotches on the heud, face uud extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till ut last the pulute of the mouth or the bones of tbe 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 lit its to "that l uaiscovcrea country troiu whence no traveller returns." It ia a melancholy fact thut thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through fulling into the bunds of Ignorant or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use or that deadly Poi son, Mercury, cVc, detroy the constitution, and lucapable of curing, keep tbe unhappv sufferer month after month taking their noxious or in jurious compounds, and Instead of being restored to a renewal of Life Vigor aud Uappiuess, iu des pair leave him with rulued Health to sigh over his galling disappointment. '1 o such, therefora, Dr. Johnstom pledges him self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and from his extensive piactlee aud observation iu the greut Hospitals of Europe, and ths first lu this country, viz i England, France, Philadelphia and elsewhere, is enabled to offer tbe most cer tain, speedy and effectual remedy in tba world for all demises of imprudence.

Tha spcaktir was a bright, hauilsome girl of seventeen liena Crocker tlio gruud daughter of old Stephen Crocker, whoso death a day or two before had brought sor row to few hearts. Twa grand-children Horaco Wharton and Ilena were his only relatives and constituted his family. Ho race was as mean of act and disposition as the old man hiniHolf. Ilena wus a beauty and an amiable girl when she chose. There certainly were intervals when pride and disdain were her more marked character istics, but Hcua's eyes wore her prand ir resistibility. Talk of diamonds! The flash aud play of those wondrous living gems of fered something inlluitcly more lustrously changeable. It was, however, a brilliancy at restless, as little to bo caught and fath omed, as the bright Vagaries of a jack-'o-lantern on a wall. Young as she was, He na was a worldly-minded coquette to the very core already. She had iuherited all the disposition and qualities of her mother, a celebrated beauty in her day. 1 it other , respects Ilena Crocker wits decidedly a' youtig lady of the period. Very certainly she bclougod to her times iu her resolution to get well married, thnt is to say, to some person of wealth and statiou. Both to gether if possible, but the former prefera bly. And then to eujoy herself at the ut most swing of fashionable dissipation and luxury for the remaiuder of her existence. "I don't sue how it would be any harm," continued lleua, "as I wouldu't" do any thing but read it, aud there's no knowing how it might be tampeied with by that rascally cousin of mine before it is read next Saturday. I imagine grand-father left the bulk of his piopcrty to me, but there's no telling what notion the old fool mny have got into his head." liena was aiouo iu her chamber. To think was to act with her. She kuew that a will, drawu up and signed by tlio old man a year before his death, was in a desk in the diny old library. She. had often seen it and wondered what were the con tents so closely scaled from her eyes. It was dusk, and as she stole along through '.he dreary hall she half relented, aud linally paused on the very thresliliold of the room site was seeking. Then, chiding herself for her weitkuess, she stole in, got the key of her grandfather's desk, aud opeued the drawer. There lay the will, sealed as bhe had ollcn seen it. "Hut I'm no better off than before," she muttered. "1 cau'topen it." It was useless to peep into its fold only detached words could be seeu. But Ueua wus uot Inclined to be bitfllud in her curi osity. And she was as fertile in resources as tlie wildest of her sex. Lighting a gas jet she warmed the large wax seal. Then witu tlie blade ot a pocket kuite she care fully loosened it. It was done. Tbe doc- uiiiiriL lav iionn heioi-H tier. ITer ivea ra pidly cluvourad iUuoutuutu, uutl her cheeks paled with auger. "The miserable old dotard ! " she cried. The cause of her displeasure was the un pleasant and surprising fact that her grand father had not left her a solitary ccut. Every particle of his ample fortune went to Horace Wharton. Her first motive was to destroy the will; but a second thought detained 'her. She feared the consequences of such uu act. Again slightly hsMtiug the seal she real Used it in its place, replaced the will iu the drawer, aud went back to her room. After the first gust of rage had some what subsided she Bat dowu to quietly thiuk the tualter over. There seemed but oue way to retain auy portion of the for tune, and that was marrying her cousiu Horace. She hated him heartily; yet her vanity had always told her that he ad mired her. 'jhe kuew her beauty, and overestimated its eflect u; on her stolid kinsman. "But live days remain before the open ing of the will," sue mused; "before that time I must lure Horace into au oiler of marriage." About the time that lleua was gaining her surreptitious kUowludgeof theconleuts of the will, her wealthy cousiu Horace was seeking after precisely similar information. Betaking himself to tbe office of Hartuuu XcwtM, the lawyer who had been iutrusled mainly with the legal business of his grand father, he louud thai geuilemau alouu. Ho kuew something of the lawyer's character, aud at once proceeded to busiuess. "You drew up my graudlalhcr'a will, did you not 'f" he asked. "Yes." "How long ago ?" "About six mouths. He had prepared oue a year ago, bul this makes uu cutirely dillereul dispositiou of the property." "Aud what is that disposition 'f" The lawyer smiled. "1 have uo right to tell you," he said "Bul you would tell tuu if sutUcieut rea sons were advanced':1" "if the, reasons were couviuciug enough, yes." - ..... ... . , , , n... :.. "Would two uuuurcu uonar couviuoo you?" "No." "Five hundred?" "Yes." Horaco counted out the sum from his pocket-book, which he had tilled for ex actly this contingency, and the lawyer took it, carefully couutud it, aud trausterred it to his own wallet. "N he said, "you may prepare yourself for the worst possible uews. You ure, by this will, cut off from every dollar of your urandfather's estate." , "You are certain of this?" "Of course I atu. I drew the will and saw it signed. The previous will left all to you, but your grandfather was whimsical. There came a change iu his feelings, caused by some real or fuueied luiscouduct of yours, aud so he Jell all to your cousin lleua." Horace was angry.

Each greeted the other with a cor diality long unknown iu their cousinly in tercourse. They even chatted pleasantly, congratulating themselves upon tlio man ner in which they were opening the giinie. "You must be quite oppressed with the gloom of this old house," said Horace, as lie was about to go, "and I think a ride might do you good. I will be pleased to take you this afternoon, if you would do me the honor." ' "Xothiug would please me butter," re plied the beauty, with a winning smile. The ride was had. Each of the plotters endeavored to be agreeable. Horace was bland and attentive, ltena sat distract ingly close to him, was as amiable as a woman knows how to be when she tries, and used her matchless eyes with killing otl'uv-t. They dined on the road, aud re turned in tlio evening. Aud when they parted for the night ltena allowed Horaco, for the first time in her life, to kiss her. This great change in their demeanor to ward each other should have aroused mu tual suspicion, but it didn't. They were blinded by the glitter of the golden stake. ' During the next day Horace remained ucarly all day in the house, aud in the so ciety of his cousin. He proposed going to the theatre in the eveuiug, but Heua urged the impropriety of so doing. Their grand father's reeeut death would make it highly Improper in the eyes of their frieuds. "But wecaugo to Brooklyn," suggested Horace, "nobody will know us there." i To which the beauty, assented, and Ho race kissed her. She didn't resent his im pudence. On the contiary, her lips clung to las in a gentle, thrilling rejoinder. They went to the theatre, grew confiden tial and loving, nnd supplemented tlii.it good night kisses with a bug. "I'm progressing tremendously. To morrow i will propose to her," so thought Horace. "I'm bringiug him around fatuously," thought Kcna. "He will come to the point iu a day or two." 'Aud come to the point he did on the fol lowing Friday the day before the opening of the will. He swore undying love ljr her. She ufl'ected sruprise; wan sullieit utly coy lor appearance, but confessed to itUHt'deut passion for him. Both lies found believiug cars. After a large amount of liugiu aud kissing, which 11 n occasion like this demauus, they discussed the practical de tails. "I am impatient for the happy event," he said, squeezing her hand. "And so atu 1," she replied, returning the pressure gently. "But grandfather's recent death " "Bother grandfather," pouted Ilena. '"Couldn't we manage it somehow'!1" He feared for his chauees when slit learned he was peunilcss. "We can try." . She was only anxious to have it settled before he discovered her poverty. "I'll tell you, Keua," he said, as if struck by a new idea, "we mi"ht gel mar ried privately, and keep it a secret uulil a tJoo'wuiun aiuouut ol'ttiuo has elapsed. s you please, dear Horace "When shall we have the ceremony per formed?" "As soon as possible that is, I nieau an booii as you desire it." "To-morrow moruiug?" "Yes." Two happier people than t!i. on-tiii. didn't go to bed that night.. Kich was self congratulatory uud triuii, l.a-u. Iu the morning they went i:i a c.uti.t.'' to a minister unknown to cilhc; :w w, ic married. "Why, it's one o'clock," said Horace, as they re-entered the carriage. "We have just time euouglt to go to the surrogate' ollice and have grandfather's will read." They arrived there to find several law yers and the executors nssemliled. One of the latter was speaking. He held some documents iu his hand. "Here ure three wills, the liisl leaving his property to Horace Wharton, was made about a year ago. The secoud, dated six mouths later, leaves the estate to lleua Crocker. The third and last, dated three mouths ago, leaves all to charitable insti tutions. Of course, only the last is valid the others are of uo consequeuee." Uage and hlatik amazement tilled the laces of the plotting cousins; but they could do nothing. They rode disconso lately home iu the carriage. They unbtir detied themselves of their real sentiments toward each other. They expressed the most cordial and mutual hatred for each other. And they unanimously agreed to regard the marriage ceremony as null uud void. ftiUccIluurous. v From the (ieniiaHtowu Telcgrt-ph. Our ltfvUetl Fruit-I.it.
