There's a beautiful stream; but it's not in the west, Of all the bright rivers I lobo it the best, And often, 0 often I my thoughts are there led When I looked on the pebbles that lay on its bed, I've followed its windings and watched its white • sails, That lay on its breast, till its soft breezes hail Their more sturdy companions to speed them along To the Queen or all cores, the light of my song. Adventure In a Swamp IBIS AND ALLIGATOR SHOOTING There are few sorts of game I have not followed with horse, hound, or gan; arid, among other sports. I have gone ibis shooting: it was not so much for the sport, however, as that I wished to obtain some specimens for mounting. An adventure betel me in one of these excursions that may interest the reader. The southern part of the State of Louisi ana is one vast labyrinth of swamps, bayous'and I goons. These bayous are sluggish streams that glide sleepily along, sometimes running one way and sometimes the very Opposite, according to the the season. Many of them are outlets of the great Mississippi, which begins to shed off its waters more than three hundred miles from its mouth.— These bayous are deep, sometimes wide with inlets in their midst. They and their contignousswatnps are the great habitation of the alligator and the fresh water shot:is—the gar. Numerous specimens of water and wading fowl fly over them, and plunge through their dark tide. Here you may see the red flamingo, the egret, the trumpeter swan, th'e blue heron, the wild goose, the crone, the snake bird, the pelican, and the ibis. You may likewise see the osprey, and the white-headed eagle robbing him of his prey. These swamps and bayous pro duce abundantly fish, reptiles, ancrinsects, and are consequently, the tavoi ice resort of hundreds of birds which prey upc.,n these creatures. In some places the bayous form Acompleie:net-work over the coon try, which you maytraverse with a small boat in almost any direction; indeed, this is the means by which many settlements communicate with each other. As you approach southward to the Gull, you get clear of the timber, and within some fifty miles of the sea there is not a tree to be seen. It was near the edge of this o .en country I went ibis shooting. I had set out from a small French or Creole settlement, with no other company than my gun—even without a dog, as my favorite span iel had been bitten by an alligator while swimming a'u4ss a bayou. I went, of course,.in a boat, a light skiff, such as is commonly used by the inhabitants of the country. Occasionally using the paddles, I allowed myself to float some four or five miles down the main ha. you; but as the birds I was in search of did not ap pear, I struck into a "cranch," and sculled myself up stream. This carried me through a solitary re gion, with marshes stretching ns far as the eye could see, covered with tall reeds. There was no habitation, nor aught that betokened the presence of man. It was just possible that I was the first human being.wbo had ever found a motive for pro pelling a boat through the dark waters of this soli tary.stream. As I advanced, •1 fell in with my game, and I succeeded in bagging several, both the great wood ibis and the white species. I also shot a fine white headed eagle, which came soaring over my boat, unconscious of Anger. But the bird which I most wanted seemed that which could not be ob tained. I wanted the scarlet ibis. I think I had rowed some three miles up stream and was about to take in my oars and leave my boat to float back again, when I perceived that a little farther up the bayou winded. Curiosity promp ted me to continue; and pullihg a few hundred strokes further, I found myself at the end of an ob long lake, a mile or so in length. It was deep, dark, marshy ground around the shores, and lull of alli gators. I saw their ugly forms and long serrated backs, as they floated aoout in all parts of it, hun grily hunting for fish and eating one another; but all this was nothing new, for I had witnessed simi lar scenes during the whole of my excursion. What drew my attention most was a small islet near the middle of the lake, upon one end of which stood a row of upright forms of a scarlet color. These red creatures were the very objects I Was in search of. They might be flamingoes; I could not tell at that distance. So much the better, if I could only suc ceed in getting a shot at them; but these creatures are even more wary than the ibis; and as the islet was low, and altogether without cover, it was not likely they would allow me to come within range; nevertheless, I was determined to make the attempt. I rowed 'up the lake, occasionally turning my head to see if the game had taken the alarm. The sun was hot and dazzling, and as the bright scarlet was magnified by retraction; I fancied for a long time they were flamingoes. This fancy was dissipated as I drew near. The outlines of she bill, like the blade of a sabre, con vinced me they were the ibis; besides, I now saw that they were only about three feet in height, while the flamingoes stand five. There were a dozen of them in all. They were balancing themselves, as is their usual habit, on one leg, apparently asleep, or buried in deep thought. They were on the iffi per extremity of the isle, while I was approaching it from below. It was not above sixty yards across, and could I only reach the point nearest me, I knew my gun would throw shot to kill at that distance. I feared the stroke of the sculls would start them, and pulled slowly and cautiously. Perhaps the great heat—for it was as hot a day as I can remember, —had rendered them forpid or lazy. Whether or not, they stood until the cut water of my skiff touch- ed the banh of the islet.: Idiew my gun up cau tiously, took aim, and fired both barrels almost sim ultaneously. When the smoke cleated, out of my eyes, I sew that all the birds hadilown oil except one, that lay stretched out by the edge of the water. Gun in hand, I leaped out of the boat, and ran across , he wet to hug my ;tame. Thu, occupied but a ley,' minutes, and I was turning to go back to the skiff; when, To my consternation, I saw it out upon the lake, and rapidly floating downward! In my haste I had left it unfastened, and the bayou current bad carried it off. It was still but a hundred yards oil but it might as well have been a hundred miles, foi at that time I could not swim a stroke. My first impulse was to rush down the lake, and after the boat. This impulse was checked on ar riving at the water's edge, which I saw at a glance was fathoms in depth. Quick reflection told me that the boat was gone—irrecoverably gone! I did not at first comprehend the full peril of my situation; nor will you. 1 was on an islet, in a lake. only hail a mile Irom its shores—alone. it is true, and without a boat; but what of that? Many a man had been so before, with not an idea of danger. These were my first thoughts, natural enough; but they rapidly gave place to others of far different character. When I gazed after my boar, now be yond recovery—when I looked around, and saw that the lake lay in the middle of an interminable swamp, the shores of which, even could I have reached them, did not seem to promise me footing—when I re flected that, being unable to swim, I could not reach them—that upon the islet there was neither tree, nor log. nor bush—not a stick out of which I could make a rait—l say, when I reflected upon all these things, there arose in my mind a feeling of well de fined and absolute horror. It is tine I was only in a lake, , a mile or an in width; but so tar as the peril and helplessness of my situation were concerned, I might as well have hem upon a rock in the middle of the Atlantic. I knew that there was no settlement within miles— miles of pathless swamp. I knew that no one could eit_ter hear or see me—no one was at all likely to come near the lake; indeed, I felt satisfied that my faittiles, boat was the first keel that had ever cut its waters. The very tameness of the birds wheel ing around my head was evidence of this. I should never go out from that lake; I must die on that islet, or drown in attempting to leave it. These reflections rolled rapidly over my startled soul. The facts were clear, the hypothesis definite, the sequence certain; there was no ambiguity, no superstitious hinge upon which I could hang a hope —no, not one. I could not even expect that I should he missed and sought for; there was no one to search ftr me. The simple habitans of the village I had left knew me not—l was a stranger among them; they only know me as a stranger, and landed me a strange individual—one who made lonely excursions, and brought home bunches of weeds, with birds, insects, and reptiles, which they had never before seen, although gathered at their own doors. My absence, besides, would be nothing new to them, even though it lasted for days. I had often been absent before, a week at a time. There was no hope of my being missed. I have 'said that these reflections came and pass ed quickly. In less than a minute, my affrighted soul was in full possession of them, and almost y field ed itself to despair. I shouted, but rather invol untarily than with any hope:l should be heard.— I shouted loudly and fiercely; my answer—the ech OES of my own voice, the shriek of the osprey, and the maniac laugh of the white headed eagle. I ceased to shout, threw down my gun to the earth, and tottered down beside it. I have been in a gloomy prison, in the hands of a vengeful gueril la banditti, with carbines cocked to blow out my brains. No one will call that a pleasant situation —nor was it so to me. I have been lost upon the wide prairie—the land sea—without bush, break, or star to guide me—that was worse. There you look around; you see nothing; you hear nothing; you are alone with God, and you tremble in his pres ence- your senses swim; your brain reels; you are afraid of yourself, you are afraid of your own mind. Deserted by everything else, you dread lest it, too, may forsake you. There is horror in this—it is very horrible—it is hard to bear, but I have borne it all, and would bear it again twenty times over rather than endure once more the first hour I spent on that lonely islet, in that lonely lake. Your prison may be dark and silent, but you feel that you are not utterly alone—beings like yourself are near, though they be your jailors. Lost on the prairie, you are alone—but you are free. In the islet, I experienced 'he feelings of the prairie and the prison combined I lay in a state of stupor—alMost uncon -tclous; how low , ' I know not, but many hours lam certain. Iknew this by the sun—it was go ng down when I awoke, if I may so term ,he re ,iovery of my stricken senses. I was aroused by a .arange circumstance; I was Surrounded by dark ihjects of hideous shape and hue—reptiles they were. They had been before my eyes for some ime, but I had not seen them. I had only a sort of 'manly consciousness of their presence; but I heard hem at length, my ears were in better tune, and he strange noises they uttered reached my intellect It sounded like the blowing of great bellows, with tow and then a note harsher and louder, like the oaring of a bull. This startled me, and I looked up and bent my eyes upon the objects; they were '.'rms of the crocodilider, the giant lizards—they were alligators. Huge ones they were, many of them, and many were they in numbers—a hundred at least were crawling over the islet, before, behind, and on all ities around me. Their long gaunt jaws and chan ueled snouts projected forward so as almost to touch my body, and their eyes, usually leaden, seemed now to glare. Impelled by this new danger, I sprang to my feet, when, recognising the upright form of man, the reptiles scuttled oil, and i piunging hurriedly into the lake, hid their hideous bodies under the water. The incident in some measure revived me. 1 saw that I was not alone; there was company even in the crocodiles. I gradually became more myself, and began to reflect with some degree of coolness on the circumstances that surrounded me. My eyes wandered over the islet—every inch of it came un der my glance—every object upon it was scruti nised—the moulted feathers of wild fowl, the pieces of mud, the fresh water muscles (union) strewed upon its beach—all were examined. Still the bar ren answer—no means of escape. The islet was but the head of a sand bar, formed by the eddy—perhaps gathered together within the year- It was bare of herbage, with the exception of a few tufts of grass. There was neither tree nor bush upon it—not a stick. A raft indeed! There was not wood enough to make a raft that would have floated a frog. The idea of a raft was but brief ly entertained—such a thought had certainly cros sed my mind, but a single glance round the islet dispelled it before it had taken shape. I paced my prison from end to end—from side to 1 side I walked it over. I tried the water's depth; on all sides I sounded it, wading recklessly in— everywhere it deepened rapidly as I advanced.— Three lengths of myself from the islet's edge, and I was up to the neck. The huge reptiles swam I around, snorting and blowing; they were bolder in this element. I could not have waded safely ashore, even had the water been shallow. To swim it— no—even though I swam like a duck, they would have closed upon and quartered me before I could have made a dozen strokes. • Horrified by their de monstrations, I hurried upon dry ground, and paced the islet with dripping garments. I continued walking until night, which gathered around me dark and dismal. With night came new voices--the hideous voices of the nocturnal swamp; the qua-qua of the night heron, the screech of the swamp owl, the cry of the bittern, the cluck of the great water toad, the tinkling of the bell frog, and , and the chirp of the Sevanna-cricket—all fell nri• ' on my ear. Sounds still harsher and more hideous were heard around me—the plashing of the Olga tor and the roaring of his voice—these reminded me that I 'must not go to sleep. To sleep ! I darst not have slept for a single instant. Even when I lay for a few minutes motionless, the dark reptiles came crawling round me—so close that I could have put forth my band and touched them. At intervals I eprank to my feet, shouted, swept my gun around, and chased them back to the wa , tar, into which they betook themselves with a sul len plunge, but with little semblance of fear. At each fresh demonstration on my part :they showed less alarm, until I could no longer drive them, either with shouts or threatening. gestures. They only re treated a few feet, formiug an irregular circle around mg, Thus hemmed in, I became frighten ed. in turn.. I loaded my gun and fired—killed none. They are impervious to a bullet, except in the eye or under the forearm. It was too dark to aim at these parts ; .and my shots glanced harmlessly from the pyramidal scales of their bodies. The loud le -1 port, bowever, and the blaze frightened them, and they fled, to return again alter a long interval. I was asleep when they returned': I had gone to sleep "THAT COUNTRY 18 THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COHDLANDIV GREATEST REWARD."—Buchanat CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 13, 1853. ill spite of my etliirt to keep awake. I was star tled by the touch of something cold, and half s•i -• fled by a strong musky odor that filled the air. I threw out my arms—my fingers rested upon an ob ject slippery and clammy—it was one of those monsters—one of gigantic size. He had crawled along side me, and was preparing to make his at tack, as I saw he was bent in the form of a bow, and I knew that these creatures assume that atti tude. when about to strike their victim. I was just in lime to avoid the stroke of his powerful tail, that the next moment swept the ground where I was lain. Again I fired, and he, with the resi , „, once more retreated to the lake. All thoughts of going to sleep were at an end.— Not that I felt wakeful , on the contrary, wearied with my day's exertion—tor I had bad a long pull under a hot tropical sun—l could have laid down on the earth, in the mud, anywhere,and slept in an instant. Nothing but the dread certainty of my peril kept me awake. Once again before morning I was compelled to battle with the hideous rep tiles, and chase them away with a shot from my gun. - Morning came at ler:gth, but with it no change in my perilous position. The lig,nt only showed me my island prison, but revealed no way of escape from it. Indeed, the change could not be called for the better; for the fervid rays of an almost ver tical sun burned upon me until my skin blistered. I was already speckled by the bites of a thousand swamp flies and mosquetoes, that all night had preyed upon me. There wasnot a cloud in the 'heav ens to shade me; and the sunbeams smote the sur face of the dead bayou with a double intensity.— Towards evening I began to hunger. No wonder of that; I had not eaten since leaving the village settlement. To assuage thirst, I drank the water of the lake, turbid and slimy es it was. I drank it in large quantities, for it was hot, and only mois tened my palate without quenching the craving of my appetite. 01 water there was enough—l had more to fear for the want of food. What could I eat? The ibis? But how to cook it? There was nothing wherewith to make-a fire —not a stick. No matter for that: Cooking is a modern invention, a luxury for pampered palates, I divested the ibis of its brilliant plumage, and ate it raw. I spoiled my specimen, but at the time there was little thought of that; there was not much of the naturalist left in me. I anathemised the hour I ever imbibed such a taste—l wished And ibon, and Buffon, and Cuvier, tip to their necks in a swamp. The ibis did not weigh above three pounds, bones and all. It served me for a second meal, a breakfast; but at this dejeuner sans four chette I picked the bones. What next? starve? No—not yet. In the bat tles I had had with the alligators during the second night, one of them had received a shot that proved mortal. The hideous carcass of the reptile lay dead upon the beach. I need not starve—l could eat that. Such were my reflections. 1 most touch the musky morsel. Two more days' fasting con quered my squeamishness. I drew out my knife, cut a steak front the alligator's tail, and ate it— not the one I had first killed, but a second; the other was now putrid, rapidly decomposing under the the hot sun ; its odor filled the islet. The stench had grown intolerable. There was not a breath of air stirring, otherwise I might have shunned it by keeping to windward. 'rho whole atmosphere of the islet, as well as a large circle around it, was impregnated with the fea-ful efflu vium. I could bear it no longer. With the aid al my gun, I pushed the half-decomposed carcass into the lake; perhaps the current might carry it away It did. I bad the gratification to see it float off:— The circumstance led me into a train of reflec tions. Why did the body of the alligator float ? It was swollen—inflated with gasses. Hal An idea shot suddenly through my mind, one of those brilliant ideas—the children of necessity. I thought of the floating allig ator, of its intestines— what if I inflated them ! Yes, yes! buoys and blad ders, floats and life preservers! that was the thot'. I would open the alligators, make a buoy of their intestines, and that would bear me from the islet! I did not lose a moment's time—l was full Ji energy; hope had given me new life. My gun was loaded—a huge crocodile that came near the shore received the shot in his eyes. I dragged hill . t on the beach; with my knife I laid open his entrails. Few they were, but enough for my purpose. A plume quill from the wing of the ibis served me for a blow pipe. I saw the bladder like skin ex pand, until I was surrounded with objects like great suasages. These were tied together, and fastened to my body, and then, with a plunge, I entered the waters of the lake, and 'floated downward. I had tied on my life preservers in such a way that I sat in the water in an upright position, holding my gun with both hands. This I intended to have used as a club in case I s' - ould be attacked by the alli gators; but 1 had causen the hot hour of noon, when these creatures lie in a half torpid , state, and to my joy I was not molested. Half an hour's drifting with the current carried me to the end of the lake, and I found myself at the debouchere of the bayou. Here, to my great delight, I saw my boat it, the swamp where it had been caught and held fast by the sedges. A few minutes more, and I had swung myself over the gun-wale, and was sculling with eager strokes down the smooth wa ters of the bayou. FACTS IN NATURAL HlTTORY.—Therattle snake finds a superior foe in the deer and black snake. Whenever a buck discovers a rattle snake in a sit uation which invites attack, he loses no time in pre paring for battle. He makes to within ten or twelve feet of the snake, the leaps forward and aims to sev er the 1,34 of the snake with his sharp and bifur cated hoofs. The first onset is commonly success ful, but if otherwise, the buck repeats the trial till he cuts the snake in twain. The rapidity and fa tality of his skillful manwuvre leaves but a single chance for its victim either to escape or to injeot into its more alert antagonist. The rattle snake also finds a dreaded opponent in the black snake— Such is the celerity of motion, not only in running, but in entwining itself around its victim, that the rattle snake has no way of escaping from its fatal embrace. When the black and rattle snake are a bout to meet for battle, the former darts forward at the height of his speed and strikes at the neck of the latter with unerring certainty, leaving a foot or two of the upper part of his body at liberty. In an instant he encircles him with five or six folds, and then stops and looks the strangled and gasping foe in the face to ascertain the effect produced upon his corseted body. If he shows signs of life, the coils are multiplied, and the screw tightened—the operator all the while narrowly watching the coun tenance of the hopeless victim. Thus the two re. main 30 or 40 minutes, the executioner then slack ensne coil, noticing at the same time whether a. ny signs of life appear; if so, the coil is resumed and retained until the incarcerated wretch is completely lifel s.

From the Pittsburg Union. Comets. Messrs. Editors i—As a Comet of considerable magnitude can now be seen, in the evening, in the Western sky, it would appear to be a proper time to throw out some hints to the public on the nature, properties, motions, &c., of such bodies generally. We will first make a remark or two in reference to the present Comet. This Comet may now be seen in the evenings, in the West, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, several degrees north of the path of the Sun. In tie absence of instruments to calculate its size, we inter the body or head must be of considerable magnitude, and tail perhaps sev eral millions of. miles in length, although it does not appear to cover a space in the heavens, at pres ent, of more than five or ten degrees. It is moving towards the Sun in a curve, West by South, at an amazing though gradually increasing velocity. In a short time it will be in its perihelion, or in that part of its orbit nearest the Stm, when its tail will be of gieater length, and in a direction opposite to what it now is. It may then he seen in the morn ings, rising before the San. When it passes this point it will return in a course East by, Siitith, so that it may again be seen in the evenings by the naked eye, South of the Sun's apparent path. Comets are celestial bodies of peculiar shape and properties, and generally of immense size, which move round the Sun in very eliptical or eccentric orbits. So eccentric are the orbits of some ot them that they may be within a few millions of miles of the Sun's surface at one point, and as many thou sand millions at another. As to the nature of Comets, astronomers have not as yet come to any satisfactory conclusion. The head or nucleus of a Comet is generally believed to be a solid mass of matter, and the tail a gaseous or mrial substance. The nucleus is always surround ed by a whitish wrial substance, which forms the greatest part of the Comet's bulk, and which is cal led its nebulosity. The nucleus has often, by meas urement, been found to be twenty, thirty, and even fifty thousand miles in diameter, whilst the nebu losity has been observed to be a million. The tail which arises from a Comet as it approaches the Sun, has been seen one hundred, and one hundred and seventy millions of miles in length. Philosophers, from the existence of various phe nomena, are led to believe in the existence of an ex' remely subtle fluid or ether which 'pervades all space. This ether is of such extreme tenuity as to escape detection by the nicest experiments. To the solid planets as they move in their onward course around the Sun, this luminiterous ether, as it has been called, offers but little resistance. To the Comets, however, it is belived it offers some resis tance, in consequence of their great size and com• parative lightness. The resistance thus offered re tards them in their course, and causes their path, at each successive revolution around the Sun, to tall a little within their former one. A continual ap proach of these bodies to the Sun is thus a necessa ry consequence, so that in time perhaps will all fall into that oil), and be burned up, or dissipated into vapor by its all-powerful heat. The great Comet of 1843 is believed, by M. Arago, to have grazed the body of the Sun in passing its perihelion. On its return to the Sun, which, it is computed, will take place in about four thousand years, it will prob ably strike the body of that luminary, and be con enmed. Others in time will no doubt undergo a sim ilar tate. The whole number of Comets known to, and marked on the chart by astronomers, amounts to one hundred and thirty-seven. Of these, thirty, in their approach to the Sun, pass between that body and the planet Mercury, tourty-four between Mer cury and Venus, tinily-four between Venus and the Earth, twenty-three between the Earth and Mars, and six between this latter planet and Jupiter.— Many more, perhaps thousands,. no doubt exists, but they have, as yet escaped detection. Every lew years a new Comet is added to the list already known. The time it requires for Comets to complete their revolutions round the Sun is various. Encke's Comet, which is a small one, without a tail, corn pletes its annual circuit in a little more than three years; Biela's Comet revolves around the Sun once in six years and eight months; Halley's completes its periodic revolution in seventy-five years ; Whis ton's requires five hundred and seventy-five years; whilst the great Comet of 1543, as has already been mentioned, performs his circuit is no less than four thousand years. Before the Copernican sysytem of astronomy was adopted, but little was known respecting cometary oodles further than the tact of their occasional ap t-erance. When a Comet did appear, it was con sidered a harbinger of some great event; and it is strange thit many events of this kind were preced ed or followed by the appearance of such a body. Shortly after the time that Julius Crnsar was asses- Mated a Comet of great size appeared in the heav ens,which was consinered by the Romans as the soul of their departed chief, transferred to the skies. Another Comet was seen the year that Mahomet was horn. From an accurate and elaborate calcu lation, made by Mr. Whiston, it appears that the Comet, called after him, must have been within a millions of miles of the Earth during the time of the Mosaic Deluge, and that it consequently may have acted a very impcirtant part in the production of that event. Comets vary in brightness; some as Encke's can be seen only with the Telescope, whilst others may be observed by the naked eye in the blaze' of open day. In the years 1402, 1532, 1577, and 1744, Comets were observed by the naked eye in daylight much to the astonishment and dread 01 the behold era. In 1680, 1769 and in 1811, large Comets were also observed, which were visible to the naked eye in the atternoon. The Comet of 1811, at least its head, is believed to have been the largest ever seen The one which appeared in 1843 was not so large in its nucleus as many, others which had been ob served belore it ; but in the length of its tail it has been surpassed by none. Professor Niehol consid ers the length outs tail to have been - one hundred and seventy millions of miles. What is also remar kable in this Comet is that this immense tail, which was several thousand miles in diameter, crossed the path of the Earth just fourteen days before the Earth reached that point. Had it, therefore, been fourteen days later in making this passage, it would have swept across the Earth's surface with the ra pidity of lightning, and, perhaps, involved us all in one common ruin. It is the popular belief that all Comets have tails. This is a mistake. No Comet has a tail until it comes in the vicinity of the Sun, when it is believ ed, the heat of that orb developes it. Many a Com, et has no tail—no matter in what part of its orbit it map be found. Some have two, or more. The Comet of 1744 had six well defined appendages 01 this kind, and that of 1811 had two. In conclusion, we may remark that a knowledge of the size, motions and varying distances of these heavenly bodies, fills us with astonishment and ad: miration, and gives us a most exalted idea of the grandeur and magnificence of the Solar System.

OFFICE, No. 7, South FREDERICK Street, BALTLM ORE, Md., on the left hand side, going from Baltimore street, 7 doom front the corner.— Be particular is observing the name and number-er You will mistake the place. 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 of whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect ed some of the most astonishing cures that were ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the ears and head when asleep,great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, and baslitulness, with lrequent blushing, attended, sometimes, with de rangement of mind. were, cured-immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured themselves by private and improper indulgencies, that secret and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for either busines or society. These are some of the sad and melancholy el feels produced by early habits of youth, viz : Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power,Pal pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous rrita bility, Derangement of •the Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c Mentally.—The tearful effects on the mind are much to be dreaded ,Loss of Memory, Contusion of ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo ding. Aversion of Society, Sell Distrust, Love of Solitude, &c. arc 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 laud to the healthful existence of man, and it is the young who are the must apt to become its Victims from n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject tnernselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis• led whh respect to the cause or source of disease in their eons and wards. Alas! how of:en do they ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame. Palpitation of the flea , Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious Menial effects, such as loss of Memory, Denies -eon of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when the truth is they have been caused by indulging Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to both Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex istence thousands who might have bedn of use to 'heir eountry, a pleasure to their friends, an orris- Meat to society. WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS immediately cured and full vigor restored. Oh, how hsppv 1101/0 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 moat 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 beconich 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 confidehtly rely upon him skill as o Physician TO STRANGER'S. The many thousands cured at this institution 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 hod a skilful and honorable physician.
