Member of the Royal College Of Surgeons, Lou.
don. Graduate of one of the most eminent Col
leges In the United States, and the greater part of
whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon
don, Paris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has effect,
ed some of the most astonishing cures that were
ever known; many troubled with ringing In the
head and ears when asleep, gr nervousness,
being alarmed at sudden souuds, bashfulness, with
derangement of mind, were cured , immediately.
TAKE PARTICTLAR NOTICE,
Dr. J. addresses all those Who have Injured
themselves by improper indulgences and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting
them for either business, study, society or mar
ritsse are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by the early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power,
Palpitation of thelleart, Dyspepsia', Nervous Irri
tability, Derangement°, the Digestive Functions,
General Debility, Symptoms°, Consumption, &c.
Maticrauxr.—The fearful effects of, the mind are
much to be dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion
of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil I. orebodings,
Aversion to Society, Self. Distrust, Love of Soli
tude, .Timldity l Ac., are some of the evils pro
duced.

who have injured themselves by a certain 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 destroys both mind and body, :should apply
immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the pride of his parents, should be
snatched i c itri c :+ i irospeots and employments of
We, by thec onsequen ce of deviating from the path
of nature, anal Wang in a certafn secret habit.
Such persons must, before contemplating
MARRIAGE;
reflect Mita sound mind end body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed, without these, the journeythrough
life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes
shadowed to despair, and filled,wlth the metal'.
choly reflection that the happiness of another is
blighted with our own.
DISEASE OF lALFRI:DENCE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary ot
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame or dread of discovery de•
ters him from applying to those who, Irons educa.
Lion and respectability, can aluee befriend him,
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this
horrid disease makes their appearance, Inch as
ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
g a elrness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, at last the pal,
ate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall in,
and the victim of this awful disease becomes a
horrid object of commiseration till death puts a
period to his dreadful sufferings, by sending him
to that undiscovered country, "from whence no
traveler returns."
It. Is a melancholy fact, that thousands DIE vic
tims to this terrible disease, through falling into
thchands of Jraorant or Unskillful PRETEND
ERIS, who by the use of that deadly Poison, Mer
cury, Re., destroy the constitution, and incapable
of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer montb, after
month taking their noxious or Injurious com
pounds_and instead Of being restored to a renew
al of Life, Yfgor and happiness, in despair leave
him with ruined Health, to sign over his galling
disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr Jou - terms pledges him
self to preserve the most inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the Ant in
this countrY, viz: England, .ance, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, isenaMed tooffer the most Speedy,
Certain and Effectual Remedy In the World for all
diseases of Imprudence.

THE FIRST AHATING•LEAAON
BY FRANK LEE BENEDICT
It was the prettiest winter Hoen e poi
ble, iu the soft, gray light of the late after
noon. The lake was one broad sweep of
mirror•-like ice; a • faint pink glow tinged
the snow-covered hills beyond, and clumps
of hemlocks and pine trees stood up, (lark
and solemn, against the western sky.
Farther down the lake, hidden by a
rocky point, a merry skating -party were
enjoying each other's disasters, or indulg
ing iu prlvate triumphs; and their voices
swelled up pleasantly to the spot where
Fred Bond stood supporting his compan
ion, and trying to persuade her out of the
fears which her first elevation on the bright
steel-runners had naturally caused.
Apiy Forsyth always looked pretty, but
never prettier than she did standing there
in her coquettish short dress, with its
loosely-fitting velvet jacket, ermine-edged,
a jaunty hat, with floating feather, and
her•beautiful hair allowed to fall in loose,
heavy waves 'about her shoulders. The
rose-tints in her cheeks were deeper, and
her eyes brighter than usual, from excite
ment and the fear which was not too
strong to be pleasurable, enough to 'make
her hold fast to Fred's two hands, so that
he was inclined to think the nervousness
was much nicer than any Amazonian dis
play of courage and skill.
Fred, in his stunning winter array, made
a very charming cavalier. He was only
twenty-two, bright, witty, and highly cul
tivated—in every respect an agreeable
companion.
There was a large party gathered at old
Mr. Forsyth's country-horse to pass the
Christmas season. It was ,a convenient
distance from town, and every day gentle
men came and went. • It had proved a
charming week, but to-morrow the party
was to break up. To-day wasAhe first
time Amy had ventured on skates, and
she had chosen Fred to teach her, which
was no more than fair, as she had done
bothing but torment him during all those
pleasant days.
She was accustomed to sr , rccess a nd ad
miration in everything she attemp6l; and
feeling morally certain that she should
fall, .or be terribly awkward, she insisted
upon Fred taking her away from the rest
of the company while she made her first
essay. The buckling the skates, and pre
stiading her to stand on her feet, had been
a work of time, but very . pleasant work.
When Fred lifted her up, and she clang to
hint with the strength of desperation, he
thought the little cry she gave, half fear,
half laughter, the most delicious sound he
had ever heard in his life.
"I know i shall break try neck," Amy
said.
You will do nothing of that sort," re
turned he
"See if I don't! If ifs only to teach
you not to contradict nie! Oh! oh! I was
almost down!"
"Nothing of that sort." persisted Fred
"You are getting to stand as firm as—as a
pyramid! Now try to go ahead—move
yoitir left foot forward."
"You talk like u,y old dancing master,"
laughed Amy. "I never can do it—nevef!
What a little fool I am! I must learn to
stand alone first! Dear me! What shall
do P" -
She let Fred go and leaned one hand on
his shoulder for support, tottering and
shivering dolefully, but tolerably success
ful in her effort, notwithstanding. Fred
uttered such ecstatic praise that she was
stimulated to go a little farther. She took
her hand from his shoulder and stood at
least a second unsupported, then some in-
voluntary movement of her body sent one
foot out, and she grasped his arm as tight.
ly as if he had been a plank, and she an
unfortunate mariner suddenly pitched into
mid-odean.
More strangled shrieks, more laughter,
more encouragement, she clinging fast to
Fred, and Fred feeling the wintry scene

wished things might go on like this forev
"How tired you must be getting of my
silliness," said the artful little witch;
"Tired!" be ejaculated, with a gasp.—
"It's the first time I've been happy in a
week."
"Oh, dear!" quoth she, "I'm sorry you
haven't enjoyed yourself! I hope the rest
of my guests haven't found it so stupid,"
' "You've scarcely spoken a good-natured
word to me. You've made rne—"

that this taunt was more than mortal man
could endure.
"I do think it is too bad?" he exclaim
ed, looking so handsome, with his injured
expression, that Amy privately vowed she
would hurt his feelings on every possible
occasion. "After your scolding me into
being attentive to her—"
"I only asked you—don't make me out
a second Xantippe," she interrupted; "I
beg your pardon, I'm sure—l'll never ask
another favor of you as long as I live."
"There you go!" cried Fred in a high
state of exasperation.
"So, I do," said she, and slid comforts.
bly down on the ice, taking good care not
to hurt herself, but frightened him dread- I
fully, all the same.
By the time she got on her feet again,
she had startled Fred into a passing for
getfulness of his wrongs. To keep him
from reverting to them, and bringing
about a crisis, which had been imminent
for a month past, she became wonderfully
interested in the business on hand, and as
eager to become a proficient in the skating
art, without loss of time, as if she expect.
ed to gain a livelihood by it. and offer the
red-haired girl, Miss Gore, long odds in a
match.
Between her secret fears and the hard
work she made of her efforts, in less than
ten minutes she was so tired she had to,.
stop and let Fred support her again; but
she had actually made three steps alone -L
more in the air than on the ice—and Fred
vowed that he never saw one learn so
rapidly; and the best of it was, he was
quite unconscious what a tremendous flb
lie was telling. /
"Miss Gore says she had never had any
body to teach her—"
"I should think not," interrupted Fred.
"No sane man wonld you know."
"And the first day she skated without
trouble," Amy finished, on purpose to
provoke him Into further ill-natured re
marks, at the expense of Miss Gore.
"She's an awful cheat," he pronounced;
"she's always boasting about her exploits,
or her money."
"She can shoot, too—she killed a mad
cat."
"Slie ought to have been indicted for
murder—killing one of her own relations."
"Now I thought you liked her," said
Amy, meditatively, unable to resist the
impulse of carrying the conversation back
on dangerous ground.'
"Like her!" shouted Fred.
";Why, you'll bring everybody here—
they'll think we're drowning! I'm not
old Mrs. Morris, that you need yell in my
ear. I feel quite stunned," and Amy put
oue hand to her head in a beseeching way,
that was pretty as it was deceitful.
"I hate her," said Fred, with still great
er energy, though in a more carefully
modulated voice. "The way you have
made me dance attendance on her, this
last week, would drive a saint mad."
"And you're no saint," returned Amy;
"though I'm not Imre but you're a little
mad, you look so tierce."
"I've good reason," said Fred, looking
more sulky than injured this time.
"You must be the best judge of that,"
observed Amy, coldly, yawning a little to
express weariness. "I shall tell mamma
how the visit has bored yon—l'oPture she
will be exceedingly mortified! I promise
never to expose you to similar suffering.
again.'
"You mcau,you'll not invite Me to the
house any more ?" he asked full of wrath.
"I should only subject myself to the
annoyance of a refusal. Of course, you
would'nt come, after being so bored this
last week."
"I believe there is nothing in the world
you like so much as teasing me," cried
Fred, driven to despair.
"Go on," said she; "I'm getting at your
real opinion of me—it's not complimen
tary, but its well to be truthful."
"How Can you bear to torture me so?"
he demanded.
"Bless me! You - talk as if you was an
z)ld Spanish inquisitor in a skull-cap, stick
ling you full of pins and needles!"
"So you have been, all these days," he
vowed.
"Well," said she, with beautiful inno
cence, "I have an old heart pin -cushion in
my room, but I'd no idea It was yours
it's a dark, dirty, puffy old heart as ever!
looked at. Upon my word, if I were you,
I'd think twice before I claimed it."
"I wonder if you could be serious for a
moment ?" he asked, more fretfully than
a hero in a novel would be guilty of do
ing.
"Serious? Here I am, expecting every
minute to break my neck, and you ask me
that! I never hope to get home alive; you
must invent , all sorts of nice last words
for me! Tell mamma I'm sorry I called
aunt Julia a cockatoo; and there's Harry
Beabriglet, I promised him my photo
graph•"
"You did ?" cried Fred, and nearly. let
her fall, then had to apologize.
It was Harry %%bright with whom she
had chosen to torment Fred for weeks
past, pretending to flirt with him, and
having him about like a "tame dog. In
deed, many a time he had been near ful
filling the destiny of one by receiving a
sound thrashing from Master Fred, when
that sorely tried young gentleman had
been forced, by the idol of his heart, to
endure cold looks, while Harry was petted
and received into high favor.
"I think I bad better give up any fur
ther trial to-day," Amy said, with a gdod
deal of dignity. "You seem deter dined
to quarrel with me, and I hate quarrels."
- "Goodness knows I do," groaned Fred,
"but the idea of your saying that you had
promised - your photograph to that—"
"Friend of mine," interposed Amy.—
"And yet I am really offended at your
supposing I spoke in earnest! Am I like
ly to give any man my picture ? Perhaps
you mistake rite for Miss Gore: she's in
every male object's album from Maine to
Geoigia."
"I knew you couldn't mean it," Fled
said, contritely.
"Then I wonder at yourgoing into such
a rage," she replied severely. "Away, no
body would have a right to interfere Xeu
are an old friend, it is true, abnost
brother, buil wouldn't even let a brother
dictate to me, I assure you."
"I bad no tliought of doing so," moaned
"Ohl you km done it s great deal,
lately," she went on, merciless, of course,
the moment she found that he was Peni

keep back. She had been afraid that Qhe
had gone too far during the past w:: in
her tormenting of him, and it was pleas
ant to find that he could not support hie ,
half angry airs when she made the least
effort to subdue it.
"I hope I never shat drive anybody out
of his senses," said she, primly; "I hope
I have been too well brought up for that.
I'm sure mamma would be shocked at the
bare idea:"
"If you would only be good to me,'
sighed Fred. "Now, see here—..just pram
ige—,,
"There isn't time, and I should be sure
to forget," Amy broke in. "Let's finish
the skating-lesson first; I want to be able
to boast as well as Miss Gore."
But Fred held her hands fast, and would
not leave her move.
"Do listen to me!" h 2 pleaded.
"Yes, which foot do P start on I shall
try the tight! Now just let me go a little
by myself. I never shall learn if I hang
on you all the time."
"In a moment, Amy, just wait."
"You oughtn't to call me by my chris
tian name," she said. "It did well enough
when we welt children; but it would
sound so odd to people. I'm sure mamma
wouldn't like it."
As Fred knew that "mamma" never
dreamed or opposing or controlling the
little witch, and waa, besides, almost as
fond of him as if ho had been her own
son, he was no: to be taken in by no such
shallow artifice.
"I'm sorry if I have offended you," he
said gravely. "But do listen to me."
"How can I listen, when first one foot
slides and then the other, and I'm expect..
ing every second to fall on my nose and
make it uglier than it is?"
"You can't fall—l'm holding you
steady.'
"That's just what I don't want. I
came here to learn to skate. I can't do
that if I'm held."
"You are quite right," said Fred, cooly,
changing his entire tone. Business first
always."
She stared at him, but lie paid no atten
tion.
"Now then," lie said, "lean one arm on
my shoulder and try to skate with me.
Don't be afraid, I'll not let you fall."
She obeyed him in silence, so much won
dering what he meant by this new and
unheard-of demeanor, that she entirely
forgot her fears, and succeeded very well
in her first essay.
"Yon did that beautifully," said
as he paused to give her a chance to rest.
"1 bad no idea you would get on so well."
"Thank 'you. I suppose you thought I
was too stupid to learn any thing."
"I don't'believe I thought that; but at
first you seemed to have so much difficnity
even in standing."
"Why you said half an hour ago, you
never saw anybody get on so fast."
"That was merely to encourage you.".
"And you admit you were telling a
fib?"
"Certainly, ieplted Fred, with the ut
most coolness.
"Did one ever hear the like? Then I
don't believe you now."
"One seldom is believed when one tells
the truth," Fred answered sententiously.
"How disagreeable you are!" she ex
claimed, feeling vexed at his composure
and incomprehensible change of manner.
"I wish I had asked Harry Seabright to
teach me instead of you."
"For your own sake I wish you had.
He's so abominably awkward you would
have something to laugh at."
She took her hands off of his shoulder
and tried a few steps by herself, succeed
ing very well; and Fred was beside her in
time to prevent her making a sudden and
unpleasant pirouette. She was so much
delighted with her success that she grew
good-natured again, and for a few mo
ments they chattered in the most amicable
manner. She was so gentle and lovable
that Fred soon forgot his resolutions to be
careless and composed, and rushed back
to the impulse which had been in his mind
for days--that of unburdening his heart
the first opport,pnity which offered. He
gave her no time to discover what he was
at, but from discussing some trivial mat
ter, he t burst out suddenly.
"Why have you treated me so all this
week? I never suffered such pain in my
whole life! It was downright cruel, Amy,
for you know how I love you; you know
the future dosen't hold anything so dear
as the hope of your affection."
It was very sweet to hear—she bad
known it all long before, she could not
have helped knowing; but it was pleasant
to have it put in word, and to see him
look so handsome and agitated—it was so
delightfully different from the stupid at
tempts Harry Seabright had been making
in the tender line during the past days.
"Amy, do answer me just one word!
Say you do care for me. Give me a little
happiness after all my worry and fear."
SVS• wanted to do it—she did love him;
but gome demon of mischief prompted to
tease him still. She always had teased
everything and everybody that loved her,
from her pet kitten upward, anti she
could not relinquish the pleasant habit
now,
"I 'don't think you ought to talk to me
in this way," she said, with a sad dignity,
that would not have been misplaced in a
woman of thirty; and, indeed, a veteran
coquette could not have dono it so well.
'Please to stop, I don't want to hear any
more."
IHe started at her in mingled wrath and
.pain.
"Do you mean that ?" he asked, as
hoarsely as though the wintry air had
suddenly given him an attack of acute
bronchitis. "Just answer me—do you
mean it?"
Be took it so hozTibly in earnest, and it
was so much like a scene out of a novel,
that she could not resist prolonging her
misery, though, with the old inconsistency
of a nature like hers, somehow his pain
hurt her all the while.
'You know I mean it," she said. "I
never was so much astonished in my Mi.
I'm so sorry I came here to-day.
don'tinow what to answer—l'm. fright

"It can't be very difficult to answer,"
returned he, hotly. "If I have been mak
ing a fool of myself, it is eaiy enough to
say so."
NA, well! if you call caring about- me
main is fool of yourself, On sure I'd
better sty nothing,".she said.

Now she was really angry, and turned
on him like a pretty little fury.
"How dare you talk like that to me?"
she exclaimed. "fitlp me ashore this in
tant. No, I'll not have your help—leave
nixt alone."
Down she sat on the ice, and tugged at
the skates till she got them off her feet.
She could, be angry now in more safety,
and having scratched her thumb in her
efforts, she Nkas prepared to be so in down
right earnest.' After she refused his re
iterated offers of assistance„ Fred stood
sulkily by.
"I am going to join the rest," said she.
"I've one word to say to you, Fred Bond
—l'll never forgive you, if I live to be a
hundred, and grow as ugly as Miss Gore!
You've insulted me—me, that has been
like your sister since we were so high;"
and in her excitement she elevated instead
of depressing her hand, until the height
she indicated would have applied very
well to a pair of finely-grown giants in
their early youth.
Frtd remained obstinately silent, and
that spurred her on to strewing new-flow
ers of rhetoric upon his devoted 4ead.
"Marry for money, indeed, when I've
more now than I know what to do with!
Oh! aren't you ashamed of yourself, -Fred
Bond ? I wonder how you'll ever venture
to look in my face again."
She waited a little for Fred to deifeed
himself / but Fred had reached a state of
nand where he scorned ,to do that; so,
having got her breath, Amy poured out a
new tirade, ready at last .to cry, with vex
ation because he would not interrupt her
with some sort of excuse.
Under the circumstances, it was scarce
ly possible for a boy of twenty-one, and a
girl barely eighteen, to do anything but I
quarrel furiously, giving the fact that they
were fond of each other. Bo it was finally
settled that they cared nothing for one an
other—never had. "He was suspicious,
overbearing, impertinent," Amy said;
and she, in Fred's opinion, was the
"falsest and most intolerable coquette that
had ever existed."
"You shall never have a chance again
to talk to me like this!" Amy exclaimed.
-I shall never talk to you at all, as long
as we both live," Fred answered. "We'll
never, never meet again. I'll put the
width of the world, at least, between us,
and trust to heaven's mercy to keep us
apart hereafter." He darted off on his
skates es he ended.thie fuie sentence.
Amy watched him ge, at first with an
ger; but as he flew on like a winged crea
ture, pain overcame her rage, and she suf
fered cruelly.
On—on—faster, never once looking
back; then Amy heard au ominous creak
in the distant ice, and iu a second more
Fred disappeared from her horrified eyes.
Ile had skated, unconsciously, into an air
iole
Amy was conscious of crying out, at
first froin agony, then from a mad under
thought that she must rouse the party
further down the lake. She shrieked—
she lan; the treacherous lee threw her
down many times, but she felt no hurt;
she was up, toiling on, exhausting her
strength by the frenzied shriek that rang
shrill through the wintry air.
When tha party reached the spot of the
disaster, Amy Forsyth Lay senseless on the
ice, and Fred climbed out from his watery
grave and lay near her, but too thorongly
exhausted to make any further effort,
They got the pair on shore. They
wrapped Fred in shawls, and the two were
'driven as fast as possible up to the house,
There Bond was put to bed, and a doctor
sent for, who pronounced that the patient
would be as well as ever by morning.
Meantime poor Amy was sobbing in her
room, but was somewhat comforted by
that assurance. Of course, she was very
miserable—Fred would never forgive her;
but as he was in no danger, she must go
down stairs and do her duty by her guests,
who were to leave the next day.
Down she wet, and it was rather a
quiet, dismal evening to everybody; and
they all appreciated ho* much their past
pleasures had been owing to Fred's exer
tions. But it was worse for Amy than
anybody else, because Harry Seabright
aught her alone in the library for a mo
ment and made his
,proposal. He had a
bad time doing it. He was embarrassed
to that extent that he could not tell where
to begin or leave off, and mixed matters
so dreadfully, it seemed doubtful 4hether
he was offering himself or a pet Skye ter
rier for Amy's acceptance; and she was so
angry that she forgot her good manners,
and said, nippingly:
"I thank you; I don't want a puppy of
any dort!"
"T—isn't the pup;" stammered Har
ry; falling over his vowels as badly as if
he had been tipsy; "'s myself, Miss
Amy."
"Yes. Well, either one, it's all the
same. No, thank you, sir."
"But—but—you can't mean it," quav
ered poor Harry,.whose hand, never very
strong, had been sorely addled by the
young witch's performances during tfie
last week.
"Oh! can't I!" cried she. "Bnt I do;
and I wonder at you, Mr. Seabright, after
all my kindness to you, to go and talk like
this!"
He looked so wretched that her own
misery made her pity him; so she added
more gently:
This is just a bit of nonsensical gallan
tly. You are to propose to Martha Gore,
I insist upon it. Good night now. Don't
say another word. It's all a mistake—l
