TAKE PARTICTLAR NOTICE. _ - Dr. J. addresses all those who. have injured themselvo by improper indulgences and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting themfur either business, study, society or mar. r These are some of the sad and — hielancholY effects produced by the early habits of youth, viz.- Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the Efead, Dimness of Sight, Loss otMuscular Power, Palpitation of thelleart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irri tability, Derangementof the Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, MENTALLYe fearful effec of e ind are much to be dreaded. Loss of M ts emor th y, Co m nfusion of Ideas, Depression of spirits, Evil Forebodint., Aversion to llociety, Lied-Distrust, Love of Soli tude,_ Timidity, 44., are some of the evils pro duced. Thousands of persons of all ages can nowjudge what is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming weak, pale, nervous and ern leated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms of Consumption. YOUNG MEN who have injured themselves by a sf - rtalit prac tice, Indulged in when alone, a habit frequently learned from evil companions or at school, the effects of which are nightly felt. even when asleep, and If not cured, renders marriage impossible, and ediatedestroys both mind and body, should apply immly. What a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the pride of his parents, should be snatched from all prospects and employments of life, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature, and indulging in a certain secret habit. Such persons must, before contemplating MARRIAGE reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites tp promote connubial happi ness. Indeed, without these, the Journey through li[elrwars.,... u pm, b.a.rgei fa a: ....pes hourly darkens to the view. the mind becomes shadowed to despair, and filled with the melan choly reflection that the happiness of another is blighted with our own. DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE. - - When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure Ands that he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, It too often happens that an 111-timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de ters him from applying to those who, from educa tion and respectability, can alone befriend him, delaying_till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease makes their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pains In the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the pal. ate of the mouth or the bones of the nose Lail in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration till death puts a period to Ills dreadful suderlngs. by sending him to that undlstwvered country, - "front whence no traveler returns." It is a melancholy tact,that thousands DIE vic tims to this terrible disase, through falling into the hands of Jgnorant or Unskillful PRETEND ERs, who by the use of that deadly Poison, Mer cury. &c., destroy the constitution, and incapable of curing, keep the unhappy Sufferer month after month taking their noxious or injurious com pounds. and instead of being restored to a renew al of Life, Vigor and happiness, In despair leave I him with ruined Health, to sign over his galling disappointment.

Only a boy, with his wild, strange ways, With his idle hours or busy days ; With hiS queer remarks and odd replies Sometimes foolish and sometimes %Is, Often brilliant for one of his size, Ag a meteor hurled From the planet world Only a boy, who will be a mall, If nature goes on with her first mat plan— If Intemperance, or some fatal snare, Conspire not to rob us of this our heir, Our blessing, our trouble, our rest, our care Our torment, our joy, “Only a boy," ESPIRITU SANTO BY AUNT ',AVILA Fanner Hastings was called "comforta ble" by his neighbors, for he was not scrimped in purse, had a good farm and liarn and all paid for; a good frame house, and an excellent well •of the sweetest water in his back-door yard. His farm was under the best of management; he always got good crops and good prices, and whoever got ahead of Fanner Bast inl„,s in a bargain, had good cause to reck on himself a shrewd fellow. He had a nice, stirring, tidy wife, too, with a dispo sition as sweet as a nut. Ilis family—ah! there was the rub! Susy, his only daughter, had met with an accident a year or so before. The chestnut span had got a fright, going down the ridge, and run away. The wagon was broken, Fanner Hastings bad ly bruised, Mrs. Hastings with a sprained wrist. Bob not hurt a bit, as he said, though John, the hired man, said there was a gash in his leg, and another in his shoulder, that you could have laid a finger in, and he had helped dress it for him, though Bob only called it a scratch. But poor Susy, her spine was injured, and she lay in bed nearly a year. The doctor said she was so young and healthy that she would outgrow it; and this summer she was better: so much better that Bob lifted her out of bed every day, and put her back.every night; and she sat iu the stuff ed chair every day as long as she liked, by the sitting-room window; and sometimes she read a little, but, as yet her pale hands must lie idle in her lap—a sore trial to an industrious girl like Susy. Susy's great comfort was a rose gera nium which she had raised from a slip that she had found in a_bouquet sent her by 3fiss Hart, up at the mansion house on the hill. It was a very- fine little plant, growing stout and 6 talkly with thick-set, ...houditht, and richly fragrant leaves. L s " declared that it grew so finely just because Susy loved it 'so well. But that Bob!' what a trial he was! Not actually vic ions you know, but what people call a "- He never wiped his shoes; ho invariably whistled all over the house; and if he touched anything ho broke it, or tangled it, or spoiled it; and yet, after all ) , it was really wonderful what nice things' he could du with those big, clumsy hands of his! He could splice a clothes-line equal to a sailor; he could knock together all sorts of little conveniences for the house, and as for taking care of Susy, no body could begin to handle her so careful as he. And he could do the best day's work on the farm of any boy of his age in these parts, Busy improved quite rapidly, and was able to hobble about on crutches, on level ground, at the time my story begins. Now, as I said before, Bob was an 'aw ful trial, and Farmer Hastings was terri bly severe. Though Bob was sixteen, he was under his father's law as much as if he had been eight. Especially strict was he in the prohibition of amusements, in requiring faithful church-going, in the observance of fast days, and in the ban ishment of all the works of fiction from the minds and premises of all under his control. Bob sometimes revolted; he joined a base ball club, he borrowed "Robinson Crusoe," but was detected, and the obnoxious volume condemned in the auto do fe. Once he went to a circus, and got such a flogging with the cruel old horsewhip, that ho carried the welts for a month. Upon each of these occasions, Bob uttered no complaint, but bit his pain back till the blood started from his lips, and vowed to run away to sea; but he looked at Susy—poor, helpless Susyl and waited. "One of these days I shall be a man; then he won't dare to touch me. I'll wait for Susy's sake." Farmer Hastings could see no good when he saw one fault, and raged inward ly at the careless, thoughtless lad; and the whole thing culminated one Sabbath afternoon. Bob had gone faithfully to the services, but when Farmer Hastings drove up to the block, and helped his wife in, there was no Bob. Greatly wondering at hie absence, he waited a few minutes, but finally got in and drove off, thinking that he had walked on and that they should soon overtake him. They soon saw him. About smile from the meeting-house they caught a glimpse of him in company with two lads of his own age, just entering a piece of. woods belonging to one Olmstead, a notorious character, gambler, horse : thief and what not, the.pest of the quiet town. Farmer Hastings said nothing; but mild Katy, his wife; 'knew by the way he started up the horses that trouble was brewing. He could hare easily called his son, but did When the; tuasitantial Sunday Winer, at foie o'ckick in the afternoon, came on, Catharine Hiustings could eat but little; Busy saw that Bob was absent, and said nothing. The iron . rule of silence fell up on the house. The dinner was eaten and cleared away; and the Cows millteit (that must be done even on &Maya - arid the mellow -twilight setthid• oven the littuiwape; still no Bob.- Sui 7 whispered to.' her mother, who saidl"Sh—ar and Busy held her _peace. • When,it grew dark, and the lamp wia Catharine went to the (loon , and peeled into the gloom. figure eiune up the kale in ationee. She atepped•out. liltobert, closet einequinde Yaw father, be is as angry as—yon know when," • "I'm not afraid, mother; Ican explain it all in_a moment," said the lad cheerftilly, "if father will listen." Farmer Hastings walked deliberately over to where Susy sat, lifted her in his arms, and carried her up stairs to her - chamber. Returning in the same grim silence, he lit a small lainp, and handed it to his wife. "Go help Susy, she needs you," was his gruff command. The remaining light he placed on the high mantle-tree shelf, and took down the horsewhip. "Don't touch nre with that, father," said Bob, "I can explain it all; it was the simplest thing—" _ . "Not so simph4 as those who are led in to such snares ae , l saw you enter to-day. Did you fancy I would ever tolerate such dreadful Sabbath breaking? Take off your coat," was all the reply. And the lash descended. "And such company, too, and such a' place!" "Listen to me?father, I know you won't blame me!" But no; and the heavy horsewhip came clown again and again with a heavy, sick ening sound. Once Bob started! the long lash wound round Susy's pet geranium, and brought it to the floor, but no word did ue utter. At last Farmer Hastings told him "to go to bed." Bob started, then he picked up the broken geranium, but went up the stairs in sullen silence. His mother met him in the dark, and kissed him with passionate tears and sobs; he kissed her and went on to his room. By and by, Catharine went down stairs. She knew that now was no time to plead the culprit's cause, and went to bed with out a word, and cried herself to sleep. Tired out by his exercise, her lord slum_ tiered too. What a Sabbath night! But Susy had not been carried up stairs as Bob carried her, and the sharp pain of her back would have kept her awake, if her heart had not ached to bursting. As the weary hours wore on, she heard a faint rustle in her room. "Bob!" busy only smoothed his hot head, and . ept too. "Susy, I've come to tell you about it, I want you to know how it was. You know Dick Sheldon's mother is sick. And she has got an herb doctor, and he says if she can get that Indian thing that I showed you once, and make a tea of it, she'll get well. Dick didn't know where to find it, so I went with him to show him. I for; got before I started that it was wrong to go Sunday, but I didn't want to give it up, especially when she was sick. Dick didn't know it when he saw it. I knew it was wrong to go, but I think father ought to have heard me." `•So do 1, darling," sobbed Busy. - Ile broke your geranium, too, I brought it to you, here it is," and he laid it on the chi.ir beside her. (Susy could smell in the _dark.) "And now darling, good night; don't worry about me, I'll do well enough. And when you get real well and strong, I will have a house in the city, .mo jou st...n asap it tor me. Ao life for me." How long, how many years did Susy keep that kiss which Bob pressed on her tearful face, in that little, dark bedroom! How many years was it before she could breath the fragrance of a rose geranium without tears ! Soothed by the thinght that Bob was in the right after all, and confident of her own power to set things aright, Busy sank into a pleasant sleep, and never heard a sound, till breakfast was ready, which her mother had brought to her bedside, with very red and tearful eyes, for Busy could not sit up all day even yet. "How came this plant here?" asked her mother, knowing that if was down stairs at the time Busy had; been carried up stairs. • "Bob brought it to me, mother, - in the night, and oh! mother, he was not to; be blamed! he only went to the woods to show Dick Sheldon where the Indian plant grows that will cure his mother's rheumatism! and father wouldn't let him speak! oh! oh, dear mother, wasn't it too bad!" Poor Mrs. Hastings had nearly dropped the tray at this unexpected turn of affairs. "Snsy," said she, "that isn't the worst of it; Bob has gone!" "Gone ?" "Yes, gone! He has taken a biludle, and the five dollars ho earned last harvest, but nothing else." `Not his bible ?" asked good little Ecg "I'll look again. Yes he did take it.— Your little tin-type that was in it is gone too, nut, deary, don't let's cry. Eat Your breakfast and try and get strengh, for you • are all I have now." And•at this point, they broke down of course. Every day after this, Farmer Hastings carried Busy down stairs and back again; and in time, learned to do it without hurt' ing her. One morning she found a fine geranium in the same place where the old one stood. It looked like a peace off ering; but the scent of it nearly broke her heart; and she got her mother to set it in the little garden Lir the summer. The old man looked sterner thin ever at this; and when cool nights came on, Busy took it in again. Bob's name was , never ruputinned, and his dog, that bad been missing, too, came back in a dreadfll muddy plight. He slunk about the house like a culprit, and it was long before he showed his head in the house. However, he did in time, and except that Busy got well andjitrong, and the old people grew a little iirlyer, and not quite so- straight in the shoulders, things went on as much as usual for years. That was a harder winter than usual, d the freshet broke away the bridge, and Joe Anderson was hurt, and the Squiro—be was aguire Hastings now— over did, and got chilled, and finally suc cumbed to a violent fever and congestion of the lungs. When there was no longer a hope of his life, he began to'look for somebody, and wrote (for he could not speak,) "Bob," on .a slate. Then Busy explained all, which she hid not been permitted to do before. • The Squill; tried to draw /sir to him with one aim, and is:Maid Upward with the other; but it was to late. The stera old farmer squire was with his forefathers! Poor Busy and her mother were Tory sad; but when the funeral was over, and the neighbors came into advise fifth them, and they !band 64 all that was left was their own, and not a . penny owing any Man, for whoewer saw such amen as the squire alma debts moment longer than he could helot They ounoluded to sty just there, and Sam, the hired man, went WHOLE NO. 3639 right on'just- as before; and somehow it was eheerfril abd pleasant, and the young people dropped in and Susy grew healthy, and pretty, and happy; while Catharine, her mother, subsidixi into a quiet Indian summor of gentle content, leading a "life like a prayer, a sermon, and a song of Busy and her mother sat quietly resting on the door step one clear summet„ twi light, talking or not, as they pleased, when the stage stopped at the end of the lane, ' and Bob, big whiskered, and moustached, and as brown as a berry, walked in. 0, then you may be sure, the widow's heart jumped for joy, and Bob, when ho saw her black dress, knew all her forlorn ness, and why she clung to him with that kind of grasp that, somehow or other, you never give but to the very last friend you have. And Susy, little goose, did nothing but cry on his shoulder, and look at him, and cry again, for in all of those years they had hoard not one word of him. "And father is gone ?" "Yes; but he forgave you." "Did he? it was hard to do it, but mother, I forgave, him; I wish I could have seen him. I must bring in my trunk It was because he did not want to break down just then. And off he went to bring in the box that bad been thrown of the stage boot when he leaped out to meet 1144 dear ones. And such a collection as he had! Such a pile of new, mended and ragged clothes; then the old bible stAined, and wrinkled; and a look between mother and son told volumes. Then some shells, then some seaweed and mosses; then some corals and a little bag of coins; then a roll of money which he tossed into Suay's lap, then sev eral stuffed birds, his own work; "one of his contraband accomplishments," as he said, "learned up in the old stable cham ber, when I ought to have been studying grammar." Finally, a little cigar box full of earth, which he gave to Susy much to her surprise. It seemed to contain !loth- ing but earth, but he assured her it had a Hower root planted in it, and carefully in structed her how to take care of it, the right exposure and all. And while Bob for days and weeks re mained at home, renewing hire old ac quaintances, freshing up ht; studies, a _ . tending to his farm, and spinning endless yarns, (I wish that I had heard them, that, with Mr. Sewell's permission, I could tell them to you,) Susy watched and tended to the mysterious plant. It took a long tune, and much patient care and anxiety but at last a glossy bud slowly perfected itself and lay hid among the g ctn leaves; so full and perfect that Susy almost expected it to burst before her eyes. But at last she had her reward. One Sabbath morning Slav came down stairs first, to light the fire as was hbr wont, and at the sight of the plant she screamed sr There it lay, open, pure, waxen pure, and nestling in its pearly bosom—the won derful dove! Never had she beheld such heavenly grace, and unearthly beauty, while in the air there hovered a perfume, the most entrancing ever offered to human nostrils! It was the rare and exquisite Eaniritu. .san „c ma. Ghost! Susy's scream of surprise and delight brought mother and Bob to her side. There lay the peaceful dove, her white wings folded ip her snowy nest as if at home and at rlist. "The Spanish call it-the Flower of the Holy Ghost," Said Bob. "You have brought her to us in safety, Bob," said his mother, laying her pale hands uponhits shoulder "I wish that I could feel surd that it had made a lodging in your heart, also ?" "If it had not been so," answered Bob, "I should have never returned. I would not come home till I had forgiven father his harsh and unjust 'treatment of me years ago. I was shipwrecked and floated on a plank for two days and nights, and alone, in that desolate ocean, I made my peace with God. The little bible was in my pocket: I lost everything but what I had on, and when r felt that only that splinter was between me and my doom, I tell you, mother, my thoughts worked rapidly. I could not die till I made my peace with God and man. God was with me amid the solitude, and he heard my prayers. Then I vowed, as all men do in extreme peril, to lead a better life; and when the Spanish vessel picked me up, and landed me on the Bra4illan Co•lsty such longing for home came over me! 0, if I had only come home then!" And Bob wept great manly tears. He was not ashamed of them. "But I was so poor I engaged to sail with the captain that had picked me up. But they had suffered in the storm too, and had to refit, so I roamed about and picked up these oddi ties. 1 often saw the flower stem, and with some difficulty got a root. I know just what you would say, mother, and I dared to bring it to you, and meet your eyes, for He did—dear 'mother. He did send Ills Holy Comforter to me; and I hope it will always be my welcome guest, the precious Holy Ghost. But, oh! if I only could have seen father, and told him too!" Little Gorporai, WHICH WAS RIGHT ?—A party of gram marians iu a Cincinnati restaurant, were arguing for half an hour over the question "Is it right to say six and Revert is 11, or six and seven are 11?" Some were certain is was the proper term to employ (on the principle, perhaps, that whatever is; is right,) while the others were equally stre nuous that are was the right word. "Do you mean to say, sir,' 'said one distin guished grammarian, very much excited, to another distinguished grammarian, "that six and seven are 11 ?" "It are, "replied the other, equally exc ted, Much confusion ensued, and it was feared that a collision would ensue be tween the distinguished grammarians. In fact, after conjugating each other pretty sharply, and working themselves up t 9 the superlative degree of a wrathful mood, they did make a few parses at each other's head. In the-present tense of affairs It was agreed to leave the question to the Teutonic gentleman who brought the lager. Said one of them: "Bans, which k• right, to wig six and Oven is 40 , 811,04 , thand seveta4 eleven?" +Mich is rechtlo 4 ,y ee. if "Six unt glebes ii? eleven, or six un nelben are element" "Yes, yes, that's it." 4 Ty; yon fciols,sizyst ashen pen di:44eal ; ' • Tint Portland Transcript says the fbl krwinginseription is found in a grave-yard In . a neighboring town, on a stone erected by a touch widowed man in memory of his four wives, whom be thus economical ly =signs to stern/4'l4in in two lines: "Here lire Sum, sew, Rebecca. and Jane, I per ever and ever In Heaven to relitm HIRAM ' RISSIVSIT SIFESICZ ss _ AS ED "Whooeuyi 'Whoonty:"' I exclaimed, rusliiie into the kitchen door, ono mornite last springiiarsi addressin' Mm.

The editor of the "Fish Horn" went on a pleasure trip, to plant a rich aunt-- who had died and left him some cash. Durin' his absence I run hi.; paper for him. Seatin' my form on top of the nail keg, with shears and paste brush I prepar ed to show this ere community how tO run a noose paper. I writ the follovrite squibs and put them in my first issue: "If a sertain lite complexion man wouldn't run his hands down into sugar barrels so often, when visitin' grosery stores, it would be money in the' pockets of Skeensboro merchants." "Query—Wonder how a farmer in this town, whose name we will not rite, likes burnin' wood from his neighbor's wood pile ?" i k "We Q uid atjvise a sertiu toothless old maid to a ce off istinthi' her cheeks, and stop elan erin' her !labors.

These articles was like the burstin: of a lot of bombshells in the usually Afflict boro. The farmers met at Simminses store. After tryin' ou the garment about steelin wood, it was hard to decide who the coat lit best, but each one made up his mind to pay off an Old grudge and "pitch into Lait Gustise." All the old maids met together in the village milliner shop, where the Sore-eyes isetsociety held meetins once a week, and their false -teeth trembled like a rattle snake's tail, when they read my artikle about 014 maids. It was finely resolved %itils ancient lot of caliker, to "stir up old Green." Headed by Sary Youmans, the cros,:est old maid in the ti. 75., and all armed with broom-sticks and darnin'-needles, the door of my editorial offis was bursted open, and the whole caboodle of whumen, famixhin' for my top hair, entered. They foamed at the mouth like a pack' of disapointed Orpheus—C—Kerrs, as they brandished their wepins over my bald head.

At this they all rushed for me. With paste-brush and shears I kept them off, until somebody pushed me over a woman who had got tripped up, when the army of infuriated Amazons piled onto my aged Ruin. This round didn't last mor'en two min. utes, for as soon as they got me down, they all stuck their confounded needles hi to me, and they left me lookin' more like a porkupine than a human bein'.
