The-pen of the poet and the pencil of the artist, have in all ages gathered eagerly from the sun-set west the material for some of their most exquisite creations. The beauty-loving imaginative eye nev er tires of its recurring and gorgeous scenes, but always turns with perennial pleasure to the halo of glory which the departing king of day throws around him as the drapery of his couch. A new poet, Al exander smith, has been discovered in Glasgow.— One of his pecu.iarities is a passion for describing sun-sets, which he does with no little originality. We give the following specimens: "The sun is dying like a cloven king In his own blood, the while the distant moon, Like a pale prophetess, whom he has wronged Leans eager lorward, with most hungry eyes, Watching him bleed to death, and, as he faints, She brightens and dilates; revenge complete, She walks in lonely triumph through the night." • * * • • • * 'Twas at the close of a long summer day, As we were sitting on you grassy slope, The sunset hung before us like a dream That shakes a demon in his fiery lair; The cloud's were standing round the setting sun Like gaping caves, fantastic pinnacles, Citadels throbbing in - their own fierce light. Tall spires that came and went like spires of flame, Cliffs quivering with fire snow, and peaks Of piled gorgeousness, and rocks of fire A-tilt and poised, bare beaches, crimson seas, All these were huddled in that dreadful west, All shooiCand trembled in unsteadfast light, And from the centre blazed the angry sun, Stein as the unlashed eye of God a-glare O'er evining city with its boom of sin. I remember as we journeyed home, ' (That dreadful garnet burnt into our brains,) With what a soothing came the naked moon. She, like a swimmer who has found his ground, Came rippling up a silver strand of cloud, And plunged from the other side into the night , ' * * * • •* rr Sunset is burning like the seal of God Upbn the close of day. This very hour Night mounts her chariot in the eastern gloomy To chase the flying Sun, whose flight has left Footprints of glory in the clouded west; Swift is she hailed by winged swimming steeds, Whose cloudy manes are wet with heavy dews, And dews are drizzling from her chariot wheels. Soft in her lap lies drowsy-lidded Sleep, Brainful of dreams, as summer hive wiih bees; And round her in the pale and spectral light Flock bats and grisly owls on noiseless wings. The flying sun goes down the burning west, Vast night comes noiseless up the eastern slope, And so the eternal chase goes round the world. Unrest! unrest! The passion-panting sea Watches the unveiled beauty of the stars Like a great hungry soul. The unquiet clouds Break and dissolve, they gather in a mass, And float like mighty icebergs through the blue. Summers, like blushes, sweep the face of earth; Heaven yearns in stars. Down comes the frantic • rain ' • We hear the wail of the remorseles winds In their strange penance. And this wretched orb Knows not the taste of rest; a maniac world, Homeless and sobbing through the deep she goes. From ✓lrlhur'a Home Gazette. A Woman and an Angel. E=l 'ls my chasmere vest ironed? I want it and my white duck pantaloons this evening.' This interr9gatory was addressed by a very fash ionably dressed young man to his sister; who was not so fashionably dressed; in fact, he had on only a neat calico. She was putting the band to a beau tifully made shirt, was lor the aforesaid fashionably dressed individual. ..No, Harry, it is not. You know this is wash ing-day, and it is hardly dry.' 'There is time enough to dry it by the stove, and I must have it, for I am going to' wait on Miss N. to the concert to•night. So don't forget,' and he took his hat and walked out. His sister, for it was to her he was speaking, flushed, and it must be told, looked angry; butt3ooll laying aside her work, went out, got the things off the line, sprinkled and folded them; then making a fire in the stove, she put her irons in, and sat down to take a few cliches while they were heating And while she is doing so,i. will tell you something about her. The young man, her brother, belonged to rather a numerous class. He wan a clerk, getting a fair salary. He lived at home, paying no regular board, but helping with the expenses of the family. He dressed, as most clerks do, quite fashionably; wore the neatest made shirts, and nicest smoothed clothes, all of wnich was done by his sister. She took great pride in the appearance other brother, and bestow ed more physical labor in keeping him look so nice, than he did in return'for his good salary. But lately he had become quite exacting, and ordered her iu rather a peremptory manner and at inconvenient times, fo do such things as he had just asked her— She had a great deal to do in assisting her mother with the family, besides attending to hiswants, and his demands at times appeared arbitrary. Yet she never relused him. He is not the only one whom a sister's toil has enabled to make a better appear ance in the world at less expense than otherwise could have been done. These extra calls on her la bor, and want of appreciation of them, had only been made since his acquaintance with a certain Miss He t4's continually praising her as one of the moat angelic beings in existence, peifect ly beautiful, with the sweetest little hand, not broad er than three of his fingers, and so white and soft ; and he would glance involuntary at his sister's hand which was not so very small and white; and how could it be when she had to stand for hours, at the ironing table, besides sweeping, dusting and ma king beds—in fact leading an active and useful life. Yet the comparison would hurt her feelings ' and she often wished he would not talk to her of Miss M—, for she knew if she had done her duty, her hands - would not be so very soft and white, for she had seen her mother scrubbing down the steps and washing the yard, although Harry had told her'Miss M— said her Ma haddelicme health.' The *lure the young men thought of Miss M--- the less be seemed to care for Liyme, and the more, he asked her to do for him. And no matter how antch she toiled, he never had time to do the slight est 'favor for her , so occupied was he with his court ship to his abgel. Now, to let you into the secret, Miss M-- had something to do with this. She had learned the character of this devoted sister, and fancied her lover would expect something like it from his wife. So shelled weaned him from her purposely ; and from the very cause that should have made him think more of her, he actually thought less. He had unconsciously imbibed the very common idea, that soft hands and fine airs are indispensable in making a lady. His sister not having either, he felt a little ashamed of her, notwitiastariding his knowledge of her sound sense and true heart. He was too much in love With a pretty face to reflect if sue performed the duties called for by their cir cumstances, it would be impossible for his lady love to be so. They were very well performed, however by her mother, who was somewhat ailing, it is true. When at last the young man'married his angel, though Lizzie shed tears at their separation, her la bors certainly were considerably lightened and her hands had a better chance of becoming soft. She loved her brqther, and like a true woman,' hoped that he would be very happy, and that his wife would keep him nice. This hatkbeen her ispecial pride; and every - wife ought to consider it a duty.— But when in a very little time she .saw him wear ing soiled vests and cramPled;basords, she very easily knew to whom the blamelielpnged. He be gall to kook frowning, and. !peak goat and corn plawittg,And atlength was takenve:tysick. When Vero mat to see hhu f he begged-her:so:hard to stay and give him same'" real old time nursing." She now learned that angels get very tired waiting on "Ireful" sick people, who-have been " spoiled " by too much attention at home. They were enough to "kill one with fatigue." And how many cross looks the sister got while attending quietly but con stantly to her brother's wants The old brother look came back-to his lace, and he got so much better in one day, that Lizzie offered to stay all night with him. And the angel determined to sit up with her, only lying down to take a short nap —which lasted all night. With this experience, Lizzie thought that too. men make considerably better wives than angels.— Their proper,place seems to be where there is no care or trouble. -Young men, be careful of catch. ing an angel: They are quite numerous. • qEs. Iscicsoir.—A writer in the Southern Liter ary Messenger says the following of ANDREW Jecg. BON: • "Jackson's spirit, if not more active, was less fit ted for the council hall than the battle field. His was not the elaborate • eloquence of the Senate.— Swords, not words, were his arguments. His.was the true Dernosthenic eloquence of action. He bad neither the temper nor the abilities to parley. He could speak tersely, vigorously, movingly—but his words were the brief words of command. Action followed speech with him as lightning the thunder. He had no patience for the solemn forms, the dull routine, the prosy speech-making, the timid plati tudes, or the elaborate ratiocinations of legislative debate. Sudden and quick in opinion as in quarrel, heart, soul and mind all mingled in his conclusigns, and Vie energy that conceived a purp.se, started it into overt act; With him to think and to do were not so much' two things as one. His eager and ins patient soul would have levered over a debate or ,proposition to declare war or to provide means for prosecuting it, as the knight Ivanhoe on his sick bed in' the castle of Front de Bceut, when he heard the clangor of the warriors storming the battle ments for his deliverance. Like Job's war horse, he scented the battle from afar, and at the sound of the,trumpets cried ha! hal The first man in reso lution and in daring in the community in which he lived, he did not so much rise to the command of the warlike troops that flocked to the first standard unfurled in the young settlements, as the command naturally came to him, as by a native allegiance to greatness, the weak in distress and terror turn tbro' instinct for' safety to the strong. Putting himself at the head of his raw recruits, he moved upon the Indian camps and cOnqured, as easily as he found, the enemy. His work was thorough as swift. He did nothing by halves. A war with him was near ly an extermination— always a complete destruc tion of the-power of the foe. He took no security from an enenemy except his imbecility. He closed the war at New Orleans by one of the moat signal victories, everything 'considered, upon record. But to do this he assumed powere and responsibilities, from which Nelson might have shrunk. But the event sanctified the means, it- those were indeed equivocal: Arbuthnot and Ambrister were hung in Florida, notwithstanding the finding of a court martial, and the Spanish soil was no protec tion to those who from it concocted designs and lent themselves to plots against his country. His military career was short but brilliant. Without any military training or educatit..n, he discovered talents of the first order in arms, and brought raw militiamen to the strict subordination of the regu lar service. He was a rigid disciplinarian. He tol erated no license or disobedience in the camp. He could sit beside a sick soldier all night and share his last crust with him as with a brother; and could shoot him next morning for sleeping on his pust." STASTLING FEAT.-A Paris correspondent of the New York Times gives the following account of the latest amusement devised for the wonderloving The feat of jumping trout a baloon, the jumper sustained by an India rubber rope, was duly per formed on Thursday. It was the most stupendous exuibition of daring and address that the Parisians have yet been permitted to witness. From one side of the car of the baloon hung the India rubber cord descending 150 leet, and then returning and being lastened to the other side of the car, It thus form ed a strong loop. The athelele was dressed as Met curnhis body, from the neck to the small of his back, was enclosed in a frame work which ensbjeu nitn to endure the suspension without wrenchii.g Of dislocation. The rope was passed through an ye. let in the middle 01 the back, placed so that be was held in perfect equilibrium. When the baloon had reached an altitude double that of the supposed slas, ticity of the cord, the voltiguer appeal ed on the edge of the 'e'er, looked over, shut his eyes, and dove 01l into space. '1 he eyelet slipped along the rope, so that the first one hundred and fifty feet were a post five" tall through' the air, without resistance or break. The rest of the way was an elongation ot the rope. It stretched four times its length, making in all a descent of 600 feet, accomplished in 2 seconds.— After having attained its lowest point, the rope con tracted once, perhaps 200 feet, and then descendeu again. There was no turtner rebound, and no os cillation; the voltigeur lay cradled in mid air, and probably spent the leisure he was now permitted to enjoy in recovering his breath and contemplating the prospect.

Jru TUCI hers.--At the dose of a temperance meeting in Paris, Canada_ West, a person solicited kyoung woman to append her name to the pledge, saying, "Will you not give me your name, Miss 7" "No, sir," Was the quick reply, "Ihave promised it to another gentleman." MT The other day, a small boy came tearing by our office, with his rags fluttering in the wind, his face smeared with molasses, and a shin gle flourishing in his hand, while he was shout ing to another boy, about the size of a pepper box, who stood nearly a quarter of a mile down the street; "Oh!

CITY OF LANCASTER, T U ESD_A_Y 'MORNING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1853. My Mother's Hair Is Gray. " One lamp—thy mother's love—amid the stars Shall lift its pare flame changeless, and before The throne of God barn through eternity= Holy—as it was lit and lent thee here." " Pardon me, Miss EdWards, I cannot agree with your To me gray hair is beautiful." My Mother's hair is gray." A deep silence followed these words. The low, earnest; reverential tone in which they were spoken had impressed the gayest of that gay young group. The speaker had numbered more than forty years He was above the medium height, his frame indi cating vigor and manly strength, rather than grace or beauty. The face, though far from handsome, at once inspired both confidence and respect. Its ordinary expression was grave, smiles rarely visited it, but when they came the effect was like a bright beam of sunshine in a shady place. Around the broad, high brow. clustered graceful curls of dark brown hair. The contour of the head was singu larly beautiful and more than redeemed the plain ness of the face. He was a man of great moral and mental power, to whom his acquaintances looked up with admiration that was little short of reverence. By the magic of his eloquence he could sway a listening multithde as the leas-burned branches of the forest trees are swayed by the winds of heaven. He had an enviable reputation as a man of learning, and he was one of the blessed mew Who gain , the book to know, Nor buy the knowledge with the beam , ' His influence was lelt in the political world. Offi ces of honor and emolument were pressed upon him, and he had but to listen to the promptiug of ambi tion to scale the dizziest heights of public favor.— He was the poor man's friend., The widow and the orphan never claimed his sympathy in vain: Kind words, which cost the giver nothing, and kinder deeds, which are the true measure of benevolence, "Fell from him noiseless as the snow," and made glad the hearts of the needy. He knew the 'names of Husband and of Father: The brightest ornaments of the modest cottage, where he had set up his household gods, were his beautiful sweet•voiced wile, and a group of fair haired children, who clustered like olive plants around his table. His absence from home was like the withdrawal of light from the loving household of which he was head; his presence when he re turned seemed to them, "-to brighten light, And give back aunahine with an added glow." He was a Christian—not by profession only but in deed and truth. His religion was not a dead let ter; a matter of mere formal belie,: and mere for mal practice, but a living activetrincipla which regulated all hiractions. He did not wear it like a Sunday coat, to be laid upon the shelf at the go ing down of the sun, but he wore it through the week, in the hurry of business, and in the pursuit of pleasure; in the house and by the way. That which more perhaps than anything else gave grace and beauty to his character, was the love he bore his mother, the watchful care with which he smoothed the path of her declining years his unwearied devotion to her comfort,.and the rev erence with which he always spoke of her. 'To me gray hair is beautiful. My mother's hair is gray." He could remember when, that same gray hair was dark and glossy as a raven's plume— when the calm pale Wrow it shaded was from wrin kles—when the now colorless cheek was flushed with the rosy tint of health and happiness. He re memhered how carefully she guarded his helpless infancy, cheerfully bearing privation, weariness and suffering, for his sake—th'e gentle force with which she restrained him during the seasons of headstrong impetuous youth—the proud affection with which ste marked the. noble developement of his man hood—and the deep, strong, deathless love with which all his life long she had covered him as with a garment. And to him now, in the pride and vig or of his manhood, even her gray hairs were beau tiful. Not hers alone—but every head which age had silvered o'er was reverences' for her sake. In this busy, bustling age of the world, when the accumulation of wealth arid the passion for public honors engross so large a S.bare of men's time and 'thoughts, reverence for the old is in danger of be ing accounted an old fashioned duty, to be laid aside with hoops and furbelovik, powdered wigs and silver knee buckles. The command—'Honor thy father and thy mother,' which, to many minds, sa vors too strongly of things beyond the flow to claim present obedience, is as binding now as at the day God uttel4d it from Sinai. Even in the ate sence of a direct command, every high and noble sentiment in man's nature prompts him to yield to bin mother the homage of love, if not as deep and tender, at least as sure any chengeless-as her own. •To me gray hair is beautiful. My mother's hair is gray.' fhe words were few and simple enough, but they revealed much. I thoughlt how it would have quickened the mother's lan. 4 uid pulses and 'I bow the weary heart, now almost home, would have' leaped with joy, bad they fallen ou her ears. Involuntarily, as it were, the man whom the world called great had offered this tribute fof filial affec tion, and expressed his reverence ofthe 'crown or glory' which gray hairs become to hose who are found in the paths of righteousness. Many .a mother lives, whose gray hairs have no beauty in the eyes of her children ' and claim no reverence from those for whose welfare she would cheerfully pour out her heart's blood. Many a mother's love is repaid by unkindness and ingrati tude. Many an hour of wearisome toil and patient watching meets with no other recompense than deeds, the knowledge of which wring her faithlui heart with anguish. Yet through all the misfor tunes, even through the dishonor of her children, her love knows no variableness. Her sympathy is given, though unsought; it is not forced upon the at tention, but its soothing power is felt. In the si lent night watches, her tears flow for them, unbid den, and her voice goes up in supplication that He who never 'slumbers will watch over and comfort them. In their presence, her heart is never weary of planning nor her hand of executing sweet offices of affection; and in their absence the arms of love are ever around them, and the incense of her pray ers in , their behalf rises continually before the Eter nal one.

A young lady from the Smith, it seems, was wooed and won by a youthful physician in Cal ifornia. When the engagement was made the doc tor was rich, having been very Successful at San Francisco. It had not existed six months, however, when, by an unfortunate investment, he lost his en tire "hbap." This event came upon him, it should be added; just as he was making ready to claim his bride.

And what does the dear, good girl do? Why she takes a lump of pure gold which her lover had sent to her when in prosperity, as a keepsake, and having it manufac tured into a ring, forwards it to him, with the fol lowing Bible inscription engraved in distinct char acters on the inside: • "Entreat me not to leave thee or to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest will I go; and where thou latest will I lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God; where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me." • The lover idolized his sweetheart more than ever when he received this precious evidence of her de votion to him, both- in storm aud sunshine. • We may add that fortune soon again smiled upon the young physician, and that he subseguently returned to the South to wed the tweet girl.he loved, 'and who loved him with such an undying affection:— Nay, more, ihe happy bride and bridegroom passed through.,our city, not, long since, on their warto the home of the.latteri in the Golden State.

Pestilenceig--Thelr Meet. The awful mortality) produced by the epidemic at New Orleans, has giVen occasion to , the remark, in various quarters, that its ravages are unparall eled. The history of the past, however, furnishes many instances of more terrible destruction of ha man lite by various pespences. The Philadelphia Ledger notices the follo•iing, among the many that in a measure haae desolated the cities of the earth: The first of which we have a detailed account is that recorded by Thucydides, and which visited Athens about four hundred years before the Chris tian era. It appears to have been identicat.in kind with the great plague of London in 1866, the ac counts written of the one applying almost exactly to the other. The mortality which attended it seems almost incredible. It was followed, at un even periods, by other visitations of pestilence, 'Vlach swept off millions of the human race, at Rome, Egypt, Syria, and finally donstantinople.— Gibbon relates that in the reign of Justinian, A. D. 527, a plague devastated the empire for fifty-two years. During a portion of this time, when Con stantinople was visited' by the epidemic ten thou- sand persona died daily. Two centuries later, two hundred thousand persons were carried off, in that capital, by another visitation of the plague: In the earlier.visitation many smaller cities were depop ulated by it. Whole districts, devoted to agticul tore, were abandoned, the harvest being left to with er on the ground. Gibbon computes the entire mor tality, during the fifty-two years of plague, at one hundred millions. During the dark ages, the plague swept over Europe several times with frightful violence. Boc caccio has left a vivid narrative of its appearaance at Florence, about the middle of the fourteenth cen tury. It bore the name of the "Black Death," and closely resembled the old plague of Athens. 'Visit ing England, it swept off fifty thousand inhabitants of London alone,' though the British capital had not at that time, probably more than two hundred thou sand inhabitants. Fifty years later, the plague ap peared again in London, when thirty thousand per sons perished of it within a twelvemonth. In 1517, an epidemic called the "Sweating Sickness" broke out in Europe, and extending to England, deprived the principal towns, according to Stowe, of half of their inhabitants. In 1803, nearly forty thousand persons died of plague in London. About the same period, Cbnstautinople is said to have lost two hun dred thousand of its inhabitants by the same disease. As the age of official statistics had not yet arisen, these numbers may have been occasionally exagger ated; but the very vastness of the estimates, even if but approximations, proves the frightful rate tif mor tality. It is to be regretted that we have not -more exact accounts of these epidemics, so as to be able to determine whether they were identical in char acter, as the best medical writers conjecture, or really different, as their names imply. We come now to the pestilence which devasta ted London in 1665, and which_ is commonly known as "The Great Plague." It does not appear, after alter all, to have been as fatal as many which preceded it; and really owes its ,pre-eminence to the vivid descriptions left to it. This epidemic appeared in September, 1684, and after lingering all winter, began to rage violently as early as May. The summer set in unusually hot. In the week ending the 12th June, 112 had died of the disease; the next week the number rose to 168; the next to 470. Macauley computes the population of Lon don, at this time, at about half a million. By the middle of July, however, two hundred thousand had fled to the country. The pestilence now began to increase with appalling rapidity. The deaths for the week ending with the let of August were 2010, and they rose steadily in numbers till the fifth of September, having reached for the week ending with that date, 6998. The week following there were 6544; the week alter that 7165; and the next week 5533. The pestilence now rapidly abated. the mortality for the ensuing five weeks was, re spectively, 4529, 4327, 2665, 1421, and 1031. By the sth of December, the weekly deaths from the plague had fallen io 210. This, alter the awlui mortality which had preceded it, was considered a trifle; the fugitives consequently returned to town, and business was generally resumed. Other peetilences, since the London one, have been very fatal. In 1720, 60,000 persons perished at Marseilles, or quite half of the population. In Egypt, Syria and Barbary, the mortality from the plague has frequently trebled. and even quadrupled, the present mortality at Ne.v Orleans. In the "Great Plague," London lost'll4o,ooo of her inhabitants, or one-third ot- those wlio stayed to encounter the pestilence. New Orleans must lose 27,000 to at tain a like mortality; but God forbid that she should! To Prevent Fly in Wheat. A Chester county correspondent of the. Farm Journal gives the following as his plan of prevent ing the operations at the fly in his Wheat. It is worthy of consideration: The wheat crop, in many parts of our country, having been more or less injured by thefly, permit me through the medium of your useful Journal, to recommend brining the seed for the ensuing crop. the benefit of this preparation has been accounted tor by some on the hypothesis of the insect egg be ing deposited in the grain, and consequently destroy ed by the soaking. Others assert the egg is depos ited in the shoot, and ii this be the case, the soak ing of tpie seed lan only deter the fly by the earlier cud more vigorous start of the plant. But how ever operating, certain I am, from experience, that this preparation of the seed, has the desired effect. I gave this preparation of seed a trialmany years back, when the fly had been very injurious ipr three ur four years in successiom.and my crops escaped, while those around, although in every other respect as carefully farmed.and manured, were injured ex ceedingly. And, in a recent conversation with an old farmer from a distance, he observed, the wheat crop in his vicinity was much injured and strag gled, but that his stood all erect, and had produced a lull crop. This difference he attributed entirely to hiving thus prepared his seed, and added, he had never known it fail to prevent the fly injuring the wheat crop. Farmers disposed to try the experiment, will ac cept the following hints. I proceeced thus:—Having bored an inch and a half auger hole on one side "the bottom of an open end hogshead, I placed it on tressels on the barn floor, high enough to put buckets under to re ceive the bride when drawn off: Then from below, drive in a spite, and place s over its point in the hogshead, an old tin cup, perforated with awl holes —then halt fill with water and a half bushel of salt. This done in the forenoon, towards evening the salt (frequently stirred) will be dissolved, when the wheat is poured in, filling to six iuches of the rim, as this will admit of brine sufficient over the grain to supply the sinking of the brine by absorp tion.% Early next morning the brine is drawn off, the grain spread on the floor, and pulverized lime (two or three pecks) spread over and mixed with it. This absorbs the moisture, and prevents the grains sticking toiether. As seed prepared thus swells coniiderably, there are of course not so many grains in proportion to bulk, and-this makes it necessary in sowing the soaked seed, to grasp larger handfuls than when sowing dry seed, otherwise, the seed may be thin ner than intended.

DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduate from one of the moat eminent Col leges of the United States and the greater part of whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon• don, Parts, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect ed some of the moat 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 bashfulness, with frequent 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 !mines or society. These are some of the sad end melancholy ef fects produced by early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of the back and limbs, Painsm the head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal- Oration of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrita bility, Derangement of the Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c Mentally.—The feartul effects on the mind are much to be dreaded: Lose of Memory, Contusion of ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo- 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 from n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject tnemselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis led with respect to the cause or source of disease in their sons and wards. Alas ! how of:en do they ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame, Palpitation of the Hea ~ Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and Symptoms of Consumption, also those seriour Mental effects, such an lose of Memory, Depres- sion 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 frpm ex istence thousands who might have been o f se to their lountry, a pleasure to their friends, an orna men, to seemly. W EAKNESS OF THE ORGANS immediately cured and full vigor restored. Oh, how happy nave hundreds of misguided youths been made, who have been suddenly resto red to health from the devastations of those terrific maladies which result from indiscretion. Such persons, before contemplating MARRIAGE, ahould reflect that a sound mind and body are the moot 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 fi lled with the rnelan• choly reflection that the happiness of another be. comes slighted with our own.

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,inoticcs of whicir have appeared again and again before the public, is a sufficient guarantee that the afflicted will find a skilful and honorable physician.
