DR. JOHNSTON,

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don. Graduate of one of the most eminent Col
lege in the United States, and the greater part of
whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon
4on, Pasts. Philadelphia and elsewhere, has effect..
ed some of the most astontshing cures that were
ever known; many troubled with ringing In the
bead and ears when asleep, great nervousness,
being alarmed at sudden sounds, bashfulness, with
derangement of mind, were cured Immediately.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured,

What a pity that a young man, the hope of his

snatched from all prospects and employments of

life becomes a weary pilgr im age, the prospect
hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes
shadowed to despair, and lilted with the melan

blighted with our own.
When the mLxuided and Imprudent votary of
pleasure ands that he has ImNbed 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 respectabWty, can alone befriend him,
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this
horrid disease makes their appearance, such as
ulcerated sere throat, diseased nose, noct ur n a l
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones mut arms,
blotches on the bead, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the pal
ate of the month 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 bins
to that undiscovered country, "from whence no
traveler returns."
It is a metarieholy fact, that thousands DIE vic

the hands of Jgnorant or UnskUUul PRETEND

ents who desire the highest happiness of
their children, both lb this world and the
world to come, to induce them to believe
in as well as to practice total abstinence
from all thatcan intoxicate.
Resolved, That, as the sad effects of in
temperance are not confined to the bodies,
but, involve also thmsouls of men, it is a
part of the christian duty of all who pro
fess to love the Lord to give their counten
ance to, and actively support all proper
movements looking towards its overthrow.
ilaulred, That woman, whose influence
is so mighty for weal or for woe, possesses
almost unlimited power over the demon
evil intemperance, and that, as she is her
self one of the greatest sufferers by its
scourges, she owes it to herself, as well as
to our common humanity, to conscienti
ously use that influence for good.
All present were invited to participate
in their consideration. They were taken
up and acted upon separately, and after a
number of spirited speeches by Messrs.

(For the Rai and Sentinel.
MR. EDITOR:—I was pained to 34, in
your issue of the 3d lust., cause to. fear,
while perusing your somewhat. extended
comments on the Franco-German war,
that you had suffered your religious preju
dices to get the better of your charity and
generally evenness of temper, while de
spondingly premising that there is scarcely
a hope for the success of the Republican
party iu poor benighted France, on
account of the "ignorance and defective
education of the masses, moral and religi
ous"—because "Republican government,
to work well, requires as a basis popular
intelligence, an enlighted conscience, re
cognition of human accountability to God,
and confidence in the essential integrity
of man"—because "an open Bible and
popular Education should go hand in hand
with Republican institutions"—and lastly,
because "both these are wanting in
France."
Now as you have not deigned to give
the public the source from which you
have derived these facts and fears, or wily
you have taken this day and occasion to
promulgate them, since poor France must
be considered to be both beyond your
reach and your cure, you must intend the
article in question' for the special benefit
and instruction of your Catholic readers,
whom you 'eonsider, either in theory or
practice, or in both, inimical to the well
working and permanency of Republic in
stitutions—such as we have, and such as
you can scarcely hope France can obtain
for the reasons assigned. In these few
lines, we think, y4u wish to convey the
idea that the CathOlics are not only opposed
to an open Bible, but that the education
they favor and impart in defective, in fail
ing to teach a recognition of human accoun
tability to God, either theoretically or
practically, and that therefore we Catholics
are, as a class, opposed to popular govern-
ment—to Republics.
These are aspersions that I am sure we
do not merit, either incidently or design
edly, as . I think history will prove; since
we are told that the people who compose
and uphold the oldest Republic in exist
ence, are Catholic, and since we lad in
the Bible that we are commanded to obey
the powers that be, while that sacred book
does not deign to prefer or prescribe any
particular form of government. It is
asserted that France hag proclaimed a
Republic three times within the last
seventy years, and it is supposed by some
that she would be a Republic this day,
were it not for the "plottings and cofinter
plottings" of the secret Societies with
which she has ever been infested, and
who, it seems, trace their- origin and
authority to the teachings of an open
Bible, and who also seem to govern the
masses of the people there in opposition
to th, teachings of the Catholic Church.
For a more practical proof of the baneful
effects and workings of such secret orders,
we have but to refer to the history of these
United States for the last twenty years,
as well as to the speeches of our late illus
trious friend, Hon. Thadebs Stevens, on
these subjects.
It was in the 15th century, that accord
ing to your theory, 'tbe Bible became an
open book in England and Germany. If
so, how many Republics followed and
were fostered in those countries since that
time ? Moreover what of the victorious
Wm. of Prussia, who had just stepped from
the Throne of Prussia to be Emperor of
Germany? And who was it that perse
cuted and oppressed the Colonists in this
country, until they were compelled to free
themselves from their open Bible Mother,
to save their lives? And when it became
a matter of life and death and a Republic
with them, who were they that came to
their assistance and rescue? Open Bible
Germans or defectively educated French
men ? Again, who was it that during the
four long years of our "late unpleasant
ness," encompassed heaven and earth in
endeavoring to' divide, and, ultimately
destroy, this, the best and noblest Gov
ernment of them all ? Was it those who
are supposed to be opposed to an open
Bible, the defectively educated masses
alluded to in your strictures? Not a
word of it, as all the most influential
leaders of the late Rebellion were advo
cates of an open Bible, and popularly
educated, according to your notions of
those terms; while one of the most invet
erate and blood-thirsty of the rebellious
Generals was a Bishop, • whose mission
was to teach and preach popular Educa
tion and an open Bible.
During all this time, where stood the
Catholic .Chuaelk and pelage ? Educating
the masses, oae would suppose from your
premises, to oppose the threatened Repub
lic! Not a bit of it—but on the contrary,
teaching their people to obey "the powers
that be," and preparing them to die, if
need be, in defence of their Republic; and
in some cases within my own knowledge,
anticipating and refuting the scruples that
some entertained in regard to the justness
of the war, on the part of the Union,
especially such as subscribed to the politi
cal doctrines of the great majority of the
people of the south—warning and fore
warning such that they could have no
scruples in obeying their country's call hip
her hour of need—but that it was their
duty, both as Catholics and as citizens, to
go to he ~relief and rescue.
SECRETARY
The other and no less serious imyuta
thin that the Bible is a sealed book to the
Catholic, I consider as undeserved on
oar, as it is uncalled for on your part,
since we do disclaim and lave disclaimed
the charge and refuted it over and over
more than a thousand_ times both in theory
and practice by priest and people; and,
to illustrate this even further, so far as
my practice extends, I take this oppor
tunity of assuring you and your readers
.who have read ydtir implication, that I
now have, and have had in my. family for
more than fifteen years no less than two
open Bibles and one New Testament, that
any friend of an open Bible, "or any other
man," may see and read, that may chance
or choose to wend his evangelical steps

Why, if the charge you prefer be true,

M. EDITOR:-A meeting has been held
lately at Harrisburg to consider the ques
tion of the alarming increase in the num
of vicious or good for-nothing young men.
A Philadelphia paper suggests that such
a meeting should be held in every city and
town in the land, and offer some sugges
tions for town-people to ponder, now that
business Is dull. All will agree that the
first step to ruin is to permit a boy to go
where he pleases iquially at night, with
out inquiry. If he does this often and ac
quires a habit of concealment he is almost
sure to be doingwrong. His parents may
depend upon it that he is getting into Mis
chief of some kind. For this step will
invariably lead him into but company of
some sort. He will smoke cigars, begin
to drink, acquire the swagger of engine.
houses, the slang of the streets, and pres
ently the, profanity of low haunts. His
language, look and manner, will begin to
reek. If his parents allow him to run out
on Sunday, instead of keeping him at
home and taking him to church, they will
all the more faoiliate his passage down
"the easy slope of hell," which is the lit
eral translation of the famous words of
the latin post. Now, Mr. Editor, what
is your opinion in regard to this evil ?
Gettysburg, I know, needs reformation as
*ell as our place, and the ones named
above. Cannot something be done to
correct this evil, which is to be found in
every town of any note ? MAGNET.

Cambria (Pa.) Freeman says: Hum:tab
Woodward, of West Bradford, whose
death at the advanced age of S 2 years was

centric in her ways. She bad a house and
a few acres of land, and for :inn lived
entirely alone. She was economical in
her habits almost to pandmony, deprived
herself almost of the necessaries of life.
Her wardrobe was of the most scanty des
cription. Since her death various sums
of money have been found hidden away
in different parts of the house, amounting
altogether to about $3OO. One roll of
money was found hidden away in a stove
pipe in the garret. In an old stocking
was found $BO in gold and silver coin.
She was unmarried. She left about
$2,000 in real estate and about $3,000 in
money. -
DIDN'T WANT TO DE PREEIDENT.-A
little fellow had just begun going to the
public schools. His mother, to stimulate
him to attention to his lessons, said to him
the other day:
"Charley, if you study hard, you may
some day become President of the United
States, like George Washington. Wlir.
knows?"
"Don't talk to ms -about being Presi
dent!" exclaimed he; "everybody's going
to be President. When we go to school,
t ) h
the first thing th itacher. does she cll s
the names of all 4.little boys, and they
all say 'Preside .' I don't want to be
President."
A Tsniszn, who wished to invest the
accumulation of his industry in United
States securities, went to a broker's office
to obtain treasury notes. The clerk in
quired: "What denomination will you
have them, sir?" Raving never heard "
that word used except to distinguish re
ligious sects, the farmer, after a little de
liberation, replied: "Well, you may give
me part in Old Sehoul . ,Presbyterian, to
please the old lady, but give mo the heft
on't in Free Will Baptist."

public that I have again taken 'her to

everything as usual goes on like clock

A i.►wrss, notorious for brow-beating
witnesses, asked a man on the stand in a
case of assault and battery what distance
he was from the parties when the assault
happened. He answercd, "Just four feet,
five inches and a half." "How came you
to be so exact t" said the counsel. "Be
cause I expected some fool or other would
ask me," said he, "and so I measured it."
A ctsmaystas was reproving Si parish
ioner for his habits of intemperance, and
told him that whiskey was the greatest
enemy. "Are we not told in Scripture to
love our enemies?" said the irreverent
toper. "Yes, John," replied the minis
ter; "bnt it is not said we are to swallow
them." ,
A Lrrrur girl, alter having learned what
a post mortem examination was, declared
that she would not, consent to be so dealt
with after death. "What?' not if it
would be greatly to the benefit of those
who lived?" asked her mother. "No;
how would I look going to heaven-all cut
to pieces?".
A wocrw-nsi school teacher hritabama

way and some another, and I'll teach
round or fiat, just as the parents please."
Tu other day a boy said to a gentle
man, "my father andmotherhad a daugh

do you explain that? Why, it's simple
enough—the boy lied.
