Oh Jenny Rose was passing fair! Her form and gait were full of grace ; The sunbeams nestled in her hair, The zephyrs tinged her beauteous face; Where'er she glanced a heait was foal; Where'er she smiled, a heart was won; But her's was cold as winter's frost, And knew not love's bright Bummer sun. When lovers sigh>d, then Jenny smiled . When hearts grewisad, then Jenny aneer'd; She cared not for the tortures wild That rack'd the breasts her coldness eased. She knew but one love—love of praise; 'Twee all for her bright smiles she'd crave, And he who would not sing such lays, Might sing unheeded in the grave. And Lilly Dean—she, too, was lair; Though nought of beauty, deck'd her cheek, Her's was a loveliness more rare— So true it was, so kind, so meek, Her's was the beauty of the heart,— Hers was the brightness of the soul, Her pleasure was to joy impart, And loving all she reached the goal. Oh, young and old blesiad Lilly Dean, And all had debts of love to pay ; For however nark the scene, 'Twas Lilly drove, the cloud away. She smoothed the pillow—eased the pain Join , d with the gay, and soothed the sad; For this the poor gave back again— Their honest thanks—'twas all they had. But years have flown, and beauty fled, And Jenny Rose has wrinkled grown, She lives with bow , d unhonored head ; Unsought, unpitied, and alone. And Lilly Dean is aged, too— A hale old man sits by her side, The object still of lovers true; For worth lives on though beauty died. The Mute Witness, OR THE DOG AND THE ASSASSIN BI MRS. C. ♦. 9017L8 While travelling in 1787, through the beautiful city of Leipsig, I observed, about half a league from the gate 01 the town, a few rods from the highway, a wheel, and the bones of a chained corpse exposed to the gaze of every passer The following is the history of that criminal, as 1 learned it from the lips of the Judge who conduct ed the trial, and condemned him to be broken alive: A German butchecsbeing benighted in the midst of a forest, lost his way, and while endeavoring to gain the road was attacked by three highwaymen. He was on horseback and accompanied by a large dog. One of the robbers seized the horse by the bridle, while the two others dragged the butcher from his saddle and felled him. The dog leaped immediately upon one of them and strangled•hirc; but the other wounded the animal so severely that he rushed into the woods uttering the Most fearful howls,. The butcher, who by this time had disen gaged himself horn the grasp of the second robber, drew his knife and killed him. But at the same moment he received a shot from the dog, and fall ing, was despatched by the thief, who found upon him a large sum in gold, a silver watch and a few other articles of value. He plundered the corpse, leaped upon the horse and fled. The next morning two wood cutters happening in that path, were surprised to find three dead bo dies and a large dog who seemed to be. guarding them. They examined them and endeavored to restore life, but in vain. One of them dressed the wounds of the dog, gave him some food, and sought some water for him, while the other hastened to the nearest village to inform the magistrate of the discovery. The offi cer, accompanied by several attendants, was soon on the spot; a surgeon examined the wounds of the three bodies; they drew up a verbal process and in terred them. The dog had dragged himself, in the course of the night, when all was quiet, to the corpse.ol his master, where he was found the next morning.— He allowed his new' friends to dress his wound, as it foreseeing that he must consent to live that he might one day avenge the murdered; he ate and drank, but would not leave the spot. He looked on quietly as they dug the grave, and allowed them to bury the bodies; but as soon as the turf was re-placed, he stretched himself upon it, howled mournfully, and resisted all the efforts of the bystanders to induce him to move. He snap ped at all who came bear him, except the woodman who had tended him. He bore his camases, but no sooner did the man attempt to take his paws to re move him from the grave than be gnashed his teeth and would have wounded him severely if he had not quickly fled. Every one admired the fidelity of the dog, and when the woodman offered to carry him food and drink every day, that he might not perish, themagistrate proposed taking up a collec tion to remunerate the man, wbo was poor and the father of a large family. With difficulty he was induced to accept the money, but he finally did, and from that moment burdened himself with the care of his new pensioner. The details of this horrible event were published in the principal journals of the country. • J. Meyer, a brother of the butcher, reading sometime after wards the advertisement of the magistrate, hastened instantly to his presence, saying he had fears which he believed now only too well founded, that his brother had fallen into the hands of robbers, as he had left home with a large sum of gold for the pur chase of beeves, and had not been heard from. His suspicions were only too sadly confirmed when the magistrate related to. him the conduct of a dog which he described. M.. Meyer,. accompanied by the officer and several others repaired to the grave. As soon as the dog perceived his master's brother, he howled, lapped his hasds, and evinced other nu merous demonstrations of joy. By different parts of his dress, M. Meyer recognized the body of his brother when they disinterred it. The absence of the gold and the watch, the wounds of the butcher and his dog, those of the two other bodies, together with the disappearance of the horse, convinced the magistrate and the witnesses that the deceased had not only been assailed by the two, but also by one or several other; who had fled with the horns and the plunder. Having obtained permission, M. Meyer removed hie brother's corpse to his native village and interr ed it in the adjoining cemetery. The faithful dog followed the body, but by degrees became attached to his new master. Every effort was made by the most diligent search and the offer of immense rewards to discover the assassins. But in vain, the horrible tragedy-remain ed an enigma. Two years had passed away, and all hopes of solving the mystery vanished, when M. Meyer re ceiveda letter urging him to, repair without delay to Leipsig to close the eyes of his maternal uncle, who desired to see him before he died. 'He imme diately hastened thither, accompanied by his broth er's dog, who was his companion at all times. He arrived too late. His relative had deceased the pre vious evening, bequeathing him a large fortune.— He found the city crowded, it being tne season of the great fair held regularly there twice a year. While walking one morning on the:public square, attended as usual by his dog, he was astonished to behold the animal suddenly rush forward like a flash. He dashed through the crowd and leaped furiously upon an elegantly dressed young man, who was seated in the centre of the square, upon an elevated platform erected for the use of those spectators who desired more conveniently to wit ness the show. He - held him by the throittvvithjso firm a grasp,.that he would soon have" Strangled him had not assistance been early' rendered him 4 They- inimediateli chained' the 'dog; thinking ;bj course he Must be mad, strove to kill him. M. u;..cza~..,..`t Meier Twilled through - the crowd, and arrived in tune to . rescue his faithful friend, callieg eagerly in "the meantime upon the bystanders to arrest Ihe miin, for he believed his dog reeognized in bim the murderii of his brother, Before he had time to explain himself, the young man profiting bYlthe tumult escaped. For smite moments they thought Meyer himself mad, ad be had great difficulty in persuading those who lied bound the dog„that the faithful - creature was not in the least dangerous, and begged earnestly of them to release him that he might pursue the as. sassin. He spoke in so convincing a manner that hearers finally felt persuaded of the truth ,of his assertions,.and restored the dog to his freedom, who joyously bounded to his master„leapeu about him a few times and then hastened away. lie divided the crowd and was soon upon his enemy's track. The police, which on these occa sions is very active and prompt, were immediately informed of this extraordinary event, and a num ber of officers were soon in pursuit. The dog be came in a few moments the object of public curi osity, and every one drew back to give him room. Business was suspended, and the crowd collected in groups conversing of nothing but thedlog, and the murder which had been committed two years be , fore. After a halt hour's expectation, a general rush indicated that the search was over. The man tad stretched himself upon the grounet, under the bolds of a double tent, and believed lot selfhidden. But in spite of his fancied security' the avenger had tracked him, and leaping upon him he bit him, tore his garments, and would have killed him upon the spot, had not assistance rushed to his rescue. He was immediately arrested, and led with M. Meyer and the dog, then hardly knew what to think of so extraordinary an affair. Meyer related all that had happened two years before, and insisted upon the imprisonment of the man, declaring that he wag the murderer of his brother, for his dog could not be deceived. During all this time it was almost impossible to hold the animal, who seemed determined to attack, the prihoner. Upon interrogating the latter, the, judge was not satisfied with his' replies, and order-' ed him to be searched. There was found upon him a large sum in gold, some jewels, and five watches, four of them gold and very valuable, while the fifth was an old silver one, of but little conse quence. As soon as Meyer saw the last, he decla red it to be the same that his brother wore the day! he left home, and the description of his watch, pub• . lished months previously, corroborated his asser tions. The robber had never dared to expose it, for fear that it would lead to his detection, es he was well aware it had been described very minutely in all the principal journals in Germany. In short, alter the most minute and convictive legal proceedings of eight months, the murderer was condemned to be broken alive, and his corpse to remain chained upon the wheel as an example to others. On the night preceding his execution he confessed among other crimes, what till then he al ways denied, that he was the murderer of Meyer's brother. He gave them all the details above rela ted, and declared that he always believed that the cursed dog died of his wounds. "Had it not been for him," 'he repeated several times, I should not have been here. Nothing else could havh discover ed me, for I had killed the horse and buried him with all that he wore." He expired on the wheel, and his was the corpse which I beheld before entering the city of Leipsig. The Rev. Dr. Smith, who for some time past has been advocating, with great learning and pow er, the doctrine of the strici unity of the human race, thus refers to Adam and his immediate de scendants In the genealogy of Adam, but three of his chil dren, Cain, Abel and Seth, are mentioned by name, and a few only of his remoter descendants appear in the record. In the 930 years he walked upon the earth, his family must have been far more nu merous than this, and his other children are ex pressly alluded to in the words, "and he begat sons and daughters." " The mother of all living" was doubtless' a fruitful vine, and both she and Adam were in the vigor of their lives for a length of years which the postdiluvians knew nothing of.— Cain was a married man when he slew Abel, and was then, not less, probably, than 129 years of age. Seth, who was appointed by God to occupy the" place of Abel whom Cain slew, was born to Adam when he was 130 years old. The natural increase of the race of man is extremely rapid when no hindrance is interposed. "Au island, first occupied by a few shipwrecked English in 1588, andfdiscov ered by a Dutch vessel• in 1667, is said to have been found peopled after SO years by 12,000 souls, all the descendants of four mothers." When the cre ator undertook to people a world, we may suppose that his providence arranged for this end, and no hindrance *as allowed to interpose. It is is be-. lived that the death of Abel was the first that oc curred in the family of man. It is not an unrea sonable supposition, therefore, as figures will dem onstrate, that the family of Adam embraced 1.90,- 000' to 200,000 people at the banishment of Cain. How many of these adhered to the fortunes of Cain, from whom a large share descended, or whether any, we are not informed, nor are we told when he built his city: II he lived as long as his lather Adam, and built it in the closing period of his life, his 'own decendants born in the land of Nod, i. e., in the land of his flight, which the name denotes, were far more numerous than the numbers above mentioned would indicate. The same re marks will alio apply to Nimrod. Though he may be, as is said' in these lectures, but of the "second generation from Ham," there was abun dant time for a population to have arisen on the earth, after the flood, sufficiently numerous to pop ulate end form kingdoms. The city built was not probably extraordinary for size, but at first, at least, a 'mere stockade, earthwork, or fortress.— Rome was not built in a day. It was once a ham let or block-house on the Capitoline Mount. It was only the "beginning" of the kingdom founded by Nineveh, Rehoboth, Caleb, and Region, of which the historian speaks. Dazes or Yorrso Farrar Grats.—A habit pre vails in France in regard to dress of young unmar ried ladies in the wealthier classes, so entirely dif ferent from our own system that it is worthy of mention.' All young ladies, till the day of their marriage, must dress plainly and cheaply—they must not, even in company, wear jewelry, flounces or ribbons to any extent. The mother may carry into company ten times the value that her daugh ter can. And it is astonishing how the old women of France do dress. One might very well take their modestly-dressed daughters at their side for a family instructress or a lavorite servant. Not only must the daughteri dress plainly and modestly, but they must never move out of sight of their mothers or chaperons, nor speak to a gentleman withoht per mission, until they are married ; then custom al lows them to make up for lost time, they do make it up with a vengeance. The study of the fashioei is very apt to become at once a mania with them, and unless they are gratified to the full extent of their desires; the husband very often betomesa suf ferer in more ways than one. A Frenchman, how ever, cannot resist the fascinations of a French wor man, and he generally yields to all her wishes, if he even sacrifices his happiness in other particulars. A more independent, exacting, diplomatic; showy race of women cannot be found. The young wo men are units in society.—Letter from Paris. Conscinesross.--A.

"THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, HERE LABOR COIEHANDS T HEMET RHWARD."—Bnchanan, CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 16, 1853. Work to be done In August. Tau Fatuu.—Continue the precautions for pro tecting sheep from the isSTECCIS ours or fly, which causes worms in their heads, given in last month's calendar. Destroy thistles; if they be cut off when in bloom,• at about one inch above the surface of the ground, the hollow part of the item receives water and the roots will decay. In selecting seeds choose only the roost .thrifty, so that your roots, &c., may be of an improved quality next year; by continuing such a course fora few years, any vegetable may be brought to a high state of perfection. This is the proper season for making under-drains, draining svvamps,•&C., &c., and the earth taken from low de posites 'may be placed with advantage into your hog-pens, compost heaps, &c., &c. Weeds should now be removed to the hog-pens, that the hogs may perform their share of labor in rooting them— throw into the hog-pen all potato tops, turf, ditch scrapings, &c., &c , and occasionally a handful of whole corn, to obtain which the hogs will keep the whole mass of rubbish in continuous motion. In removing the contents of hog-pens to the compost heap, mix one bushel of refuse salt to every cord, and this quantity will prevent those seeds from ger minating which may not have been eaten by the hogs. If the surface of your barn yard is not so shaped as to save all the liquid drainage, you may consider that you have a hole in your pocket, or at least a waste which will prove equally destructive. If your potatoes be dug early enough to spare five days before putting in turnips or other late crops, then top dress the potato ground with six bushels of fine salt to the acre before rmeeding, and you will not be annoyed by grubs the next year, besides improving the general quality of the land. Winter rye should be sown in the early part of Sep tember, and thus give time for the roots to become well established, so as not to be thrown out by frosts during the winter. By sowing thus early it may be used as spring fodder for cattle Lnd sheep if de. sired. Winter wheat should also be sown at the. same date. Rutabaga turnips may be sown at any, time in August, and even those sown late, often ma nure well in open seasons. Strap-leaved red top turnips may- be sown at any time, and even if too late to perfect, they will more than pay for the ex pense of seed and labor of sowing by being plowed in at the spring plowing, for as most of their con stituents are received from the atmosphere, the ground will be materially benefitted by such treat ment. This kind of turnip often doubles in size during October or November, and if the winter be open, good crops are sometimes gathered which which have been sown some weeks later than the usual season. KITCHEN GAnnxit.—Keep plants well hoed and free from weeds, &c. Plow vacant ground for tur nips, spinage, shallots and other late crops, and af ter plowing cart on manures and plow them in deep ly and thoroughly. Sow cabbage seeds for collards. Earth up cel ery and cardoons, transplant endive and prepare to blanch early plantings. Sow onion seed to stand the winter. Plant Shallots by Sept. Ist. Sow tars nips as directed in former paragraph. Gather hops on dry days, and cure them properly. Hoe plant in rows frequently in dry weather, for in addition to keeping them free from weeds, these frequent hoeirigs enables the soil to collect moisture from the atmosphere much more rapidly than if left com pact. Pull up early sown onions, and expose for ripening, drying, &c., removing useless parts, and turning them frequently, so that they may become thoroughly dried for keeping. Gather seeds as they ripen and place them in proper condition for keep ing. . - Plant beans for picklers early this month. Early kinds of cucumbers may still be planted for pick lers. Sow autumn lettuce. Peas may still be planted. Attend to gathering herbs; dry sage and other late herbs. Globe artichokes which are ripe should be gathered before thr leaves begin to open, and the stems should be broken down to encourage the growth ot offsets from the root. In the latter part ot the month sow rape,;cabbage, tetticuss, cress &c., every week for small salads.— Sow cabbage, lettuce, &c , &c., to be pricked out in cold beds for winter'protection and spring use.— Sow spinage for winter and spring use, &c. Man ure grounds intended forspring gardening, especial ly, where bone-dust and other slowly decomposable materials are intended to be used. FRUIT GAnnea ♦aD ORCHAHD.—Strawberry beds may still be made if nut done last month.— Budding should now be attended to. Old stumps which have sprouted and are intended for removal should be trimmed off at this time, and they will not sprout again. Bee directions for last month. FLowna GARDEN.—See directions for last month. Tie up dahlias to proper stakes as supports. Flow ers in ps intended to be kept in frames during winter should have a top-dressing and a general preparation for winter quarters, by tying up, &c. The carnation and pink layers that were lilted and potted last month, should be brought from the shade as soon they begin to grow, and those that are not lilted, have them done forthwith, that they may be rooted afresh before the frost sets . in. All wall flowers and stocks should be lilted late in Sep. umber, and planted in 5 to 7 inch pots, and treat ed as directed for carnation layers last month, tin they begin to grow, when they must be fully exposed.—Buisi. Correspondence of the Daily News The Falls of Niagara. NIAGARA, August 1. 1853 My dear.News;—Before starting from your ho tel to see the sights of this great store house of nature's wonders, you are quite likely to throw yourself at once upon the landlord tor advice as to your mode of proceeding. He will very properly tell you to take either a guide, who will initiate you into the mysteries of the place, or a carriage, the driver of which is acquainted with all the points of interest. lam not going to attempt a descrip tion of the glorious works of nature which are to be found here, but simply to take the reader along in my ramble. In our case we started alone, and you will not be surprised, I presume, when I say to you that al most at each step of the way we found a character of some description or other ready to thrust his fist into our pocket, under sanction of law, and to bleed us in this most vital . of parts. We stood this. for a while, and then came to a halt, but not before get ting one good long look at the-great cascade, from "Point View." We then changed our tactics, and hurried back to our hotel, where we engaged cab at the rate of a dollar an hour (cheap enough) and placed:ourselves under the protection of our driver, whom we christened Stephen, and who was to. tell us whether we were being " picked " according to. approved rule or custom, as occasion might offer. Snugly seated in our cab, the upper suspension bridge was the first point of attraction; to this we drove with the double purpose of viewing the river from it, and making our way to the Canada' side, which is the best point from which to view the " Horse Shoe," or English Fall. Arriving at the bridge, we came to a halt, our man Stephen whis pered "toll," we oficourse proceeded to get our quarter, but in doing so as a mere matter of course said " ow much sir?" judge of the shock to our nerves as we were answered, "One dollar and a quarterAWe paused, but:for a moment—remembered the adage of the hand in the lion's mouth—with a nervous twitch forked over the coin, and breathing again more freely, ordered our man Stephen to "go oh." We crossed at a funeral pace, until we reach ed the centre of the bridge, where we stopped for a moment, and here is presented a scene of more wilidand terrific beauty than ever belore met my eye. Beneath you is the blue water of the Niaga ra river, over which you are suspended a distance of tufo hundred and twentyfrs feet. On one side of you, in the depth below, the rapids roarto their sol itary music, rushing:madly on, as though pursued by a fearful fiend;' and on the other hand, the stream is placid and quiet, slightly troubled only- by the ripple, and decked with , the foam, which lays lan guidly before youoifter making the fearful leap over the Falls, which are in sight from the centre of the bridge:'ln crossing this bridge;you are compelled to feel that you are suspended bra single hair be- • timen the present -and an - eternity of future. The of this bridge is stated at 800 feet, and as beloe . remarked, its height above - the stream is 225 feet -Workmen are now engaged in-the construc tion of abutments, upon which is to be placed a rail:* bridge; which'is to be suspended twenty five' fietiinmediately °Ver. the-existing one. The traveller, when crossing the railroad bridge, will not fail to think of the kingdoms beyond this earth. Ascending the slight aclivity on the Canadian side, after crossing the bridge, you proceed along the shore toward the Falls again, until yon have ar rived at the steps of what is termed the "Table Rock House." Here you are met by an old fellow who with a bland smile, says : The best view of the Falls, air, is from the balcony above," and you are pointed in the direction of the door which leads you aloft. You proceed on through the curiosity shop," where is sold all kinds of Indian fixtures; and opening the door you are at the bottom of the stair-way which leads to the balcony, and which terminates below, in a large room, which on glan cing your eye over, you notice to contain specimens of stuffed birds, &c. Upon entering this aoom your attention is attract ed by an urchin, who sits at the foot of the stairs, grinding horrid music out of a hand organ, and you am tempted to drop him a dime, supposing him to have taken up his position there for that object.— You are, however, going to get "the best view," and you, therefore, have no idea for a moment, but ascend as rapidly as possible to the "balcony," where you stand and feast your eyes with 'the great est and most magnificent sight ever presented to the mind of 'man. You stand in mute astonishment as you look upon the splendid and 'indescribable colors of the " Horse Shoe." You are lost to the world, and the hand organ below as you listen to the mighty roar of God's natural music, and thus feasting, and thus absorbed, you turn, retrace your steps, communing as it were with your God, and meditating on the wonders of his works. You have, however, made up your mind to ex plore the cavern behind the English Fall, and ac cordingly you'descend with that purpose in view, when all at once your reverie is broken in upon, by the sapient smile of the old man at the steps, who demands fifty cents each, for entrance to the Mu seum. You feel like striking him down perhaps, but your holy impressions are not yet gone ; and you rut your hands mechanically to your purse, pay the stipend—invOluntarily exclaiming, Gold ! gold ! gold ! It may be, my dear News, that this last opera tion fits you the more for business, and you then begin to inquire as to the " modus operandi" of vis iting the great cave behind the sheet of water which is passing over the Fall. In answer to these inqui ries, you are refeired to the guide and informed that it will cost you fifty cents. Upon being introduced to this individual, which you find to be a splendid specimen of an Ethiopian, you are taken to a shan ty, where you are furnished with an oiled suit, for the purpose of protecting you from the drenching spray. You would have been amused, my dear News,.to have seen your humble servant in this rig, and you would have enjoyed. too, as I did, the . broad grin, and the display of Sambo's white teeth. as he contemplated our beautiful appearance; but it's no matter, we were on a voyage of discovery, and off we started. You are next, having been thus clothed, introdu ced to the winding stair-way, which you descend some three hundred steps, until you arrive at the precipice, along which you are to walk to reach the cave ; we got to this point—arrived at the nar row.passage where you are expected to walk on about twelve inches of slippery earth, with an abyss of an hundred or two feet below you—and, reflect ing for a moment on the value of our life, we bid " Don Pedro " good afternoon, and retraced our steps to the " Table Rock House." After disrobing ourselves of our fantastic rig, we again took ourplaces in our cab, visited the "Burn ing Spring." some distance above the falls, and re traced our way again across the suspension bridge to our hotel. The '-Burning Spring" is a most remarkable phe nomenon in nature. Swelling up from a solid lock as it were, it emits a strong and abundant gas, which, upon being confined, burns equal to that manufactured by your city corporation. Having abandoned our carriage, and discharged our man " Stephen," we entered into an examination of the American side. We took our way to 'Goat Island,' the "Tower," and "Lonna Island," which has its tragic incident connected with it. We looked, -too upon the scene of the recent terrible disaster, and wondered oft that such were, not, more numerous. I am however, reminded that I am taking, per haps, more space than you can spare, and with these very brief notes of a locality which affords ample material for volumes, I must bid adieu to these wild scenes of nature, and make my way fur ther west. Let me, however, say to your readers, that when they visit Niagara, they should by all means view the falls from the ferry boat between the two shores, and hang up their coats at the Cat aract House. Faithfully thine, R. How TO CHOOSE A. "BETTT Housekeeping is not so lull of sunshine and rose-colored bliss as you may imagine. It is hardly possible to get along without pot--wollopers and chamber-maids, and what with their waste, wages, wittles, and sass— says Aunt Sally—there are plaguey drawbacks on domestic peace and comforts. Old peppergrass was the "customer" for discriminating between the use ful and the careless. Peppergrass sent word to the intelligence office that he wanted a good girl for general housework. About the time he expected au applicant he laid a broom down in the yard near the gate. Presently a girl came to the gate, opens it, and strolls up to the house; the broom being immediately in the path, Miss Betty strides over it and over it, the oal-man was on the watch, and the first salute the girl got was : " I don't want you P The girl sloped, and suddenly another bullet head ed Nancy appears; seeing the old bloom in the way, she gives it a kick, and waddles up to the house. "You won't suit me, that's certain, Miss Mopsy!" bawls Peppergrass. She disappeared in a hurry, and finally a third appears, opened the gate, and coming into the yard, she carefully closes the gate behind her, and walks up—the broom is still in the path, she picks it up and carries it along to the house, where she depos its it alongside the wood-shed. Before the girl could explain her business there ,Peppergrass bawls out, "Yes, yes, come in, you'll suit me !" And she did, for that girl lived with Peppergrass seven years, and only quit living with him to go to housekeeping on her own hook, and a capital' wife she made.

DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon- don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Col leges of the United States and the greater part et whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of .Lon don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect ed some of the most astonishing eures fhat were ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the ears and head when aaleep,great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden- sounds, and bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended, sometimes, with de• rangement of mind, were cured immediately. TAKE PAM ICULAR NOTICE Dr. J. addresses all those who Alas.() injure) themselves by private and improper indulgeecies, that secret and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for either busipes or society. These are some of the sad and melancholy , el feats produced by early habits of -youth, viz : Weakness of the back and limbs,Painsm the head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrita bility, Derangement of the Digestive Functions, General Debility; Symptoms of. Consuiziption, Mentally.—The teartul effects on the mind are much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Contusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of It'orebo ding, Aversion of Society; Self Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c: are some of the evils pro duced. . NERVOUS DEBILITY Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and premature decay generally arises from the destruct ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to the healthful existence of man, and it is the young who are the most apt to become its Victims front n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject tnenoselvea. Parents and Guardians are often mis led with respect to the cause or source of disease in their sons and wards. Alas! how often do they ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame, Palpitation of the flea.., Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough ate! Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious Mental effects, such as lose of Memory, Depres sion of Spirits or pefibliar fits of Melancholy, when the truth is they have been caused by indulging Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive iv both Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex istence thousands who might have been of use to their country, a pleasure to their friends, an ena mel), to society. WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS immediately cured and full vigor restored. Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided youths been made, who have been suddenly resto red to health from the devastations of those terrific maladies which result front indiscretion. Such persons, before contemplating MARRIAGE, should reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey thro' life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan choly reflection that the happiness of another be comes blighted with our own. Let no false delica cy prevent you, but apply immediately. He who places himself under the care of Dr JOHNSTON, may religiously confide in his hon or as a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon lite skill as a Physician TO STRANGERS. . . 'rhe many thousands cured at this instiimion within the last ten years, and- the numerous im portant Surgical Operations performed by Dr. J., witnessed by the Reporters of the papers and ma ny other persons, notices of which have appeared again and again before the public, is a sufficient guarantee that the afflicted will find a skilful and honorable physician.
