Then haste thee home, the lamp is trimmed,
An anxious heart is throbbing there,
And tender eyes, with tear-drops brimmed,
Are gazing on thy empty chair.
The Heroic 'Mother :
OR THE PERILOUS ADVENTURE
BY EDWIN F. ROBERTS
In the north of Europe, us well as in the north
ern parts of America and Asia, vast numbers of
wolves abound. The great forests and the moun
tain districts of these countries afford them shelter,
so that their extermination is next to an impossi•
bility ; and as they are creatures of prey, and.hunt
it down in vast numbers, the ravages they commit
are sometimes us extensive as they are tragic and
horrible. •
When the snows dscend and harden upon the
plains, the wolves, pressed by hunger, prowl about,
and as the people are necessitated, despite all per
ils of the way, to traverse extensive districts ou
sledges, these animals, spurred on by an infuriate
hunger and eager scent, hover about the sledge, its
occupants, and the flying steeds, to whom at- that
time terror adds wings, until either the horse's out
strip them, or the untiring perseverance of tha rab
id animals prove too much for the noble brutes.
At'the house of a wealthy farmer situated on
the borders of a Swabian forest, a great festival had
been held, which for various reasons was continued
for several o days, and which brought visitors tram
several distant parts, so that while the halls were
thronged with guests, the court yards filled with
gay and well secured sledges, and the vast stables
with horses, two being generally attached to every
sledges.
• The snow hardened on the ground, not to a solid
consistency, but sufficiently so as to afford the pe
culiarly shod animals good footing, and quite
enough to favor the rapidly gliding motion of the
_sledge, and after the festival had come towards its
termination, the guests one after the other began
to depart, and the sledges, laden with their occu
pants, hourly quitted the hospitable walls. The
'merry jingle of the bells on the trappings of the
horse gave a cheerfulness to the animated scene,
and the free bracing air communicated to them a
lightness and elasticity, which was denoted by their
impatient pawing, and by the leaping gladness
with which they plunged into the apparently
boundless plain, while the severity of the cold was
mitigated to the wayfarers by mantles of warm
furs in in which they encased themselves up to the
very chins.
Among the number was the wile and two chil
dren of a proprietor who dwelt some fitty miles
across one expanse of the unadulatmg plain, that
was now all white and gleaming with snow that
had fallen. To the left, stretched like a white
fringe, the noble pines of the great forest, and with
in some distance of which the level tract of the
sledge-drive ran. This was indicated, if the out
line of the ground was lost, by tall pieces of sticks
at regular'distances, in the form of mile stones, so
that there was, at least, no fear of mistaking the .
way.
The lady was a woman of courage and selt-pos
session, and had often travelled out in her bus
hand's sledge; and though occasionally she had
seen wolves Levering in the distance, no serious
danger had as yet been encountered: She had,
therefore, no fear, though apprehensions were en
tertained that after a season of unusual severity the
wolves would pour out of the forest in great force,
and rendered nntameably ferocious by the hunger
gnawing their vitals.
Farewells, cordial and grateful, were uttered ;
messages of friendliness passed ; the horses led out,
and, with, a word, the sledge darted off into the
white plain,—the young children crouching snugly
in the bottom of the sledge, on each side of their
mother, with a sense of comfort and security that
made her smile with pleasure. The hood was
drawn over the tough ash poles to keep the falling
snow away should a storm happen, which by the
heavy blue of the distant horizon before them
seemed not unlikely. Away went the noble steeds,
away sped the light compact Carriage with a speed
like that of the wind, and which seemed likely,
within a few brief hours, place •them in safety
and comfort within the walls of their own com
fortable habitation. :
With an occasional cry of encouragement the
mother urged,, almost necessarily, the horses to in
crease their speed; and she had forgotten ' in the
rapidity with which they were traveling, that there
were such things as 'wolves in the country; when
suddenly a long, low howling, rising upon the air,
and increasing in intonation, struck a chill like
that of death to her heart, and warned the affright
ed mother that the wolves were out.
Horrible demon beasts! murderous and obscene!
there is no creature in this wonderful universe that
seems so much to have merited the abhorrence of
man as the wolf; and still it would be arraigning
the wondrous system of the creation if its uses, in
some sense or other were ignored. The sense
of self-preservation, however, that places man in
arms against that which is inimical to his safety,
appears justified in waging war with it, and there
fore every means that can be taken to subdue, and
even to exterminate these frightful monsters, is
sanctioned in its very purpose.
The horses too had heard this fearful cry, and
their unerring instincts told them that a foe to be
feared was on their track. With smoking nostrils,
erect ears, and distended eyes, they dashed along
with the speed of the'whirlwind ; and still the long
melancholy howl gradually rose behind them ;
while the pale mother commended herself and her
children to God, and prayed for succor, which only
seerned to depend on, the speed and wind of the
brave animals.
The forest was pouring out its four-footed asses.
sins. '1 he flock thickened. They rushed panting
on along the snow, and the black, dots increased
into masses. They beheld the prey that they must
run down, and their red throats already thirsted for
blood. The howling increased—the rushing speed
with which they advanced became quickened, and
like a living torrent they swept over the plain.—
The bleak wind sung a low moaning song, as if it
were the dirge of the human victims, while the
horses strained every nerve and madly—madly on
from the - reackol their hirsute enemies they sought
to fly. •
'Ohl sweet mother of heaven lirotect'us!' mur
mured the mother, hoping against hope, and still
urging the steeds on, when—crack!—one horse
stumbled—a trace snapped—a pole broke; and
while a score of infuriated wolves fastened like
leeches on the poor horse, the other had (at the
imminent risk of overturning the sledge, thereby
dooming its freight to certain death,) detached him
self and swept madly on.
For a short space there was a lull. The animals
were gorging of their prey. With ravenous throats
they tore the flesh from the bones, drank the blood,
devoured the very heart of the beast; and those who
still hungered and thirsted, not being able to obtain
their deitred food,"or break the living ring around
the poor , brute, gathered up their energies for a
fresh pursuit, and indomitably set forth after the
sledge, which now, alas! sensibly slackened in its
tremendous pace.
In the struggle of the horse to free itself from its
companion the cape of the sledge was torn down,
and the eyes of the mother were almost blinded by
the awful sight. Scores of wolves, with lolling
tongues, blazing eyes, and erect hair, were pouring
on after them, and the children, who had slept till
now, awoke up, and perceiving their danger, in
creased the mother's alarm and apprehension :by
their cries.
God alone could save them now!
The heart of the mother sank. A deadly sick
ness came upon her g as the cry of the filthy animals
rose now into an almost exulting howl. Their in
stinct told them that the horse must ere long give
in, and the foremost, large, strong creatures, pressed
on with redoubled eagerness. She saw the demon
faces of, the brutes behind—she almost felt their
hot breathing on her cheeks—she heard their fierce
and unrelenting panting, and still she encouraged
the noble horse, though every moment lessening
the distance between the pursuers and the pursued.
The hirsute monsters were close upon the sledge.
At times their hideous heads would appear before
her with their gI tring, devouring eyes fixed upon
her and her children, and once or twice, some bold
er than the rest had made a bound over the edge,
but the speed of the sledge struck them down, went
over them, or so lamed them that they fell yelping
on the snow, and the next moment were devoured
by their coompanions.
Still the horse sped on, though the poor animal
seemed to know that nis strength was beginning
to fail him. Still the hideous howling was heard,
and still did the horrible heads appear before the
half maAlened mother's glance. At last, the bold
est, fiercest, ran with ease almost abreast the sledge
for a long distance, occasionly turning their raven
ous eyes on their expected victims, or, With a cool
business-like manner, quickening their speed as ;he
horse at times quickened his. One of the wolves
seemed to have found it an easy task to keep up
with them. Every now and then he appealed to
measure his distance, as if to spring in among them,
and only deferred it as if to whet his appetite still
more, and to take it easy when the horse was fi
nally tired out.
Merciful God! the horse stumbles.
No, he is up ag•iin, and the wolf that had so se
curely counted on his meal lies on the snow; with
his neck broken, and the teeth of the pack r*ding
him to pieces. A little more,—only a little liihger,
good horse, and they are approaching habitations.
The horse droops—his body sways from side to
side—bis heads nods—his strength is evidently go
ing—his speed slackening. The brave horse has
held out as long as he could. He stumbles a sec
and time, and the infernal yell of the wolves arose
like the cry of triumph from the fiends behind the
mother, who clasps her children to her breast, and
having kissed them, meditates a leap out of the
sledge in order to give them a single chance more.
Inc her devotion is equal to the awful sacrifice.
The horse is down; the pack are surrounding the
sledge. Already the two monsters, one on each
side; prepare to leap on the children, when crack!
crack! a couple of rifle balls knock the brutes ov er,
and there is rage and terror struck through the
whole body of the pursuers.
Thanks to heaven! Mother and children are sa
ved, but the noble horse has broken his heart in
terror.
For the husband, who had anticipated his wife's
arrival on this particular day, (punctuality is ever
an advantage,) had set off to meet his family, ac
companied by some of his servants and all armed
with their deadly rifles.
They are all saved, and who is there that cannot
imagine for himself the thanksgiving and the re
joicing in the proprietor's home that night, as clasp
ing wife and children to his bosom, his grateful
prayers are murmured from his overcharged heart.
The Unyielding Wile ;
OR THE EFFECTS OF ILL•TEMPER
[Before proceeding to the subject matter of this
paper, allow me, tny young friends, to exhort you
to pause long and strive earnestly at self.culture
and self control, before taking a step which involves
your all of earthly happiness, as well as that of the
individual whom, before Heaven, you promise to
honor, love and cherish, during your sojourn in a
state where mutual concessions are constantly de
mended. My female friends, though the chosen
companion of your life may not be all you had, in
t
the ar or of your affection, painted him, he is still
the m n whom you are bound to 'love, honor and
obey,' nd to your keeping, in a greet degree is
committed his reputation, his usefulness in life, his
social tastes and fireside enjoyments. Mutual im
provement is undoubtedly one of the ends of the
institution of marriage; but any attempt at correc-1
Lion or reproof should be mingled with kindness o
manner; if the contrary course is adopted, the de
sired effect is worse than lost, and frequently the
seeds of good already sown in the heart are, by
harshness and severity, stifled in the germ and the
noble feelings, which had begun to expand, are
blasted by the heat of an ungovernable temper.]
Years ago, when, in the freshness and buoyancy
of girlhood, 1 was about to become the bride of him
who had ever striven to make me happy,. I receiv
ed a letter from my mother's eldest sister, earnestly
urging me to spend a few days with her, as she
wished particularly to see me. Accordingly I went
and was cordially received by Aunt Clara and the
family of her son, with whom she resided. One
day, during my visit, Aunt Clara told me she had
heard of my intended marriage and, feeling a deep
interest in my welfare, she had determined to give
me history of her own married life, believing that
it might convey a useful lesson. Whether she
thought she discovered the same traits in my char
acter that caused the shipwreck of her happiness, I
cannot say, but let that pass. She said on account
of the sad memories and unhappy feelings it would
necessarily awaken, she had reduced the narrative
to writing, which I might peruse at pleasure.
At an early day I availed myself of her kindness
—her manuscript is here copied.
Being the eldest of six children, my parents had
always been accustomed to rely on me for much
assistance, which had I been the only child, they
would scarcely have considered me able to render.
My mother's time was almost wholly occupied with
household affairs, so that at sixteen years of age the
care of two little sisters and three brothers devolved
on me. Nature had endowed me with an indomi
table will, and a passionate love of power which
required a stronger curb than the occasional reproofs
which my ebullition of temper called forth. Among
my brothers and sisters my word was law, and
when I issued a command, (and that was the form
in which my issues were exercised,) exacted the
strictest obedience. I do not think the children
could have loved me very much, for my passionate
instuctions must have engendered that tear which
casts out love.
At length a change came over mei a passion took
possession of my heart, which for a time overpow
ered all baser passions—need I say that pbssession
was love? My whole heart was devoted to an ob
ject worthy of it better disciplined one than I could
bring him. As if to prove the assertion true, that
every person loves his opposite, the object of my
attachment was mild, with a disposition full of
kindness and charity, always choosing to suffer
wrong rather than contend with an antagonist.
Intending to relieve my parents from providing
some of the necessary articles for housekeeping, I
engaged to take charge of a district school which
was managed by a board of trustees, who were au
thorized to employ and pay the teacher, being more
or less controlled by them. Their occasional inter
ference was to a temperament like mine exceeding
ly irritating.
One day I returned rrom school in a very angry
mood, asserting that I would neither submit to the
dictates of the trustees, or any one else, when my
eldest sister said, with an arch smile:
'What will you do when you are married? You
will then have to 'love, honor and obey."
' My temper was not in the least softened by the

CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER, 15, 1853.
question, and I replied very emphatically that,when
I married, it would be my husband's duty to make
me happy, and if he did not conform to my wish
es I should' endeavor to make him. : Foolish way
ward girl that I was, to resolve, in my own mind,
that I would abide by so absurd a determination.,
How little did I reflect how much influence pride
and obstinacy would exert in causing me to adhere
to this expression of perverted will.
Joseph and I were at length married. It seemed
tome that I had never been so happy before; weeks
passed as days. Surrounded:by an atmospl:4re of
love and kindness, my faults were, not called out,
and Joseph in his mistaken fondness thought me
all that his warm heart and noble nature could de
sire.
Soon after the marriage we commenced house
keeping in a neat pretty house just suited to our
wants; . was enabled nearly to furnish it -with the
avails of my year's teaching, and the kind assist
ance of mother and sisters. Neatness and order
were largely developed in my habits, and for some
time nothing occurred to mar the happiness of our
daily life. One evening I had to wait longer than
usual for Joseph to corns to teri,and suffered a long
suppressed feeling of impatience to betray itself in
the peevish tones in which I exclaimed, as soon as
he entered the dining room, 'the tea is all cold; why
did you not come before could not, my dear,
as there was no one to stay in the store,' was the
mild reply which should have put the subject to
rest, is I knew that Joseph's business must neces
sarily occupy his whole time, he being head clerk
in the establishment with which he was connected
expecting, in the course of two or three years, to
be taken into partnership, therefore it was neces
sary for him to be active and attentive. All this
I knew, but, like too many wives, took little inter
est in usiness affairs, and would not consider that
he had any claims paramount to my convenience.
Small matters like these should have-been borne
patiently, but in the absence of any greater trouble
I suffered a thousand trifling things to annoy and
irritate me to that degree, that I threatened to 'turn
over a new leaf,' which was but another way of
saying, unless I can have things my own 'way, I
shall give my husband a lesson. He bore my oft
reiterated complaints about, what appears to me
now to have been trifles light as air, without resent
ment, offering good reasons, (excuses I called them)
for not complying with my wishes.
One day, after I had reproached him with think
ing more of his businees than of his wife, he rose
to go out, and as he did so, he turned to me with a
look that should have sent repentance to my heart
and fixing on me those liquid grey eyes. expressive
more of sorrow than of anger, Clara,' said he, it
you find it so troublesome waiting for me, do not
wait any more, but take your meals and clear away
the things without regard to me.' When he had
gone, the temper that should have been cast behind
me prompted me to take him at his word.' Accor
dingly, when the time came, I prepared the eve
ning meal and, after waiting a tew moments, I sat
down, ate alone, then cleared away the table and
took up my sewing. In a few moments Joseph
came in, and without raising my eyes farm my
work, I told him, in as unconcerned manneras pos
sible, that he need not come for his tea, I nad clear
ed it away. Without saying a word he turned and
lett the house.
I know, my friend, that lo hen you ren - d'this you
will bitterly reproach me for unkindness to one who
loved me better than life; one, too for whom at
times, I would have laid down my life, and aught
else save my will. His loss at one time would have
broken my heart, but naturally impulsive, that in
tense love that for a time controlled infirmities of
temper I had suffered them to gain the ascendancy
thus dashing from our lips the cup of happines. I
allowed myself to forget that the same gaurd over
my conduct, and the same effort, was necessary to
preserve the affections of the husband that were em
ployed to win and obtain the lover.
But to return. That night I sat up late, but my
husband did not come. Ah, thought I, he thinks
to frighten me into submission by staying out late,
(a thing he had never done before,) but he will find
his mistake. Finding that he had taken the night
key, I determined to sit up no longer. I retired.
but could not sleep. The mild beams of the moon
came softly stealing through the window, filling the
room with fantastic shapes of light and shade, bear
ing to my troubled mind a self examination, so long
deferred. As the night deepened and my husband
came not, I wept bitter tears of self-accusation, and
in proportion to my fears for his safety did my re
pentance for the past, and resolve for the future
deepen and expand.
I knew the store had closed some hours before,
and we had few friends, indeed none with whom he
could be spending the evening. Where can he be ?
was the constantly recurring question. Just as the
clock struck one, I heard the click of the night-key
and his step on the stairs. With my fears, vanishd
repentance trom my volatile heart, and by the time
he reached the room I was prepared to pour a
storm of invective on his head. He paused on the
threshold, and as the moon shone full in his face I
perceived that he was pale and agitated, and in
the moonlight presented a ghastliness that shocked
me so much that I sprang from the bed, exclaim
ing : 'Joseph, Mr. Leland, what is the matter?'—
He stared at me an instant and in an excited tone
replied : 'Don't be a fool, Clara. Go back to bed,
and let me alone.' The truth flashed on my mind
and again I pressed my pillow, where I sought to
fasten the blamelon him,;rather than take any share
on myself. The next day nothing was said of the
occurrence of the preceding day and night. In fact
there were few words spoken on any subject; I
felt injured, and a gloom seemed to have settled on
•
the countenance and manner of my husband.
It was not until years after that I knew what I
may as well mention now. When Mr. Leland left
the store on the eventful night, he paused a moment
on the threshold, uncertain whither to;direct his
•steps, dreading after the toilings of the day to en
counter the fretfulness of an arbitrary wife at home.
Home!—home no longer to his gentle and peace
loving spirit. Just then an acquaintance passed,
and accosting him gaily, invited him to go and par
take of an oyster supper at a fashionable restaurant.
Unhappily, his stomach prompted his mind to ac
cept the invitation. That night the tempting wine
cup was held to his lips- '
a second and third followed
in rapid succession, and in that state he sought his
chamber, as we have already seen.
Following this, there came a succession of days
and months fraught with the deepest misery to both
of us. I will draw a veil over the recollections of
this period, only mentioning that but a few months
had elapsed before the hollow cheeks.and bloodshot
eyes told a tale that none who saw him could fail
to read. My husband's conduct and appearance
instead of causing self-reproach, and exciting pity,
led me to look upon myself as one of the most in
jured of wives, and my selfish and wicked heart
hardened towards him till I rarely spoke save in
harshness and reproach.
We had now been married about two years. One
morning Mr. 'Leland went to the store as usual, but
soon returned. On looking at him, I caught my
breath in astonishment. His eyes were wild and
gleamed like hot coals, and he staggered across the
room, and would have fallen had he not grasped a
chair into whichlie sank. He sat a moment, as if
collecting his thoughts, then in a voice firm and
solemn, while I althost felt his burning gaze he said:
'Clara, this day I am a I uined man—my employers
have watched my steps, have expostulated with
me, finding it to no purpose, this day cm which 1
should have been raised to an honorable and profit- I
able position, finds me cast off, sick. broken-hearted,
alone, without money and without friends. Trouble
and disappointment drove me to the wine cup, then,
to find oblivion for my• sorrows, I neglected my
business, became involved in debt, and this is the
consequence.'
About a year from this time, our little child was
born, but my cup of joy at this event was doomed
to be mingled with sorrow. Joseph began rapidly
to decline—neither love nor care could save him,
and they laid him in a shady nook beneath the
great willow in a corner of the farm, and the little
brook babbles by murmuring his requiem to this
day. Just as his eyes were closing forever on this
world, I knelt beside him with our boy in myarrns.
My husband placed one wasted hand. on the head
of the child and the other on mine, and said 'Clara,
inasmuch as you love me, guard %veil the footsteps
of this little one; I entrust -his happiness to your
keeping, - believing our Heavenly Father will bless
' your endeavors—farewell—the God of love bless
and keep you my wife and child.'
I have considered this kris dying trust a sacred
one, and have efideavored to execute it with what
success the well'ordtred life of my eon will attest.
I remained at home till my son married, since then
I haim lived in the family. My mother has passed
away, and they are now two graves beneath the
willow. My father is an aged man, and resides
with my eldest sister in the old homestead.
I am now an old woman, full of years and ex
perience, but I trust t h at each successive year since
I returned to my father's house has found me wiser
and better; and it the knowledge of my bitter ex
perience shall prevent your taking a single false
step which will surely be followed by its appro
priate punishment, the end in writing this confes
sion will have been accomplished.

so freely ,as he has in the following:
PRIVATE.—We never had a desire to brcome
young apain until last night. when we saw the fel
lers all out promenading with their ducks. They
are having their turn now--we have had ours. Won
der where the girls are whom we thought angels;
io the days when we went courting ? We saw one
of them a few days ago, and she told us she was the
mother of eight little angels? Quit enough for one
woman. Zounds ! how such things knock the ro
mance out of a man? Can it be possible we evei
thought this woman an angel? Yes,
we did—and
lighen for the time when we wouldybe "big enough
to lead her to the priest, whose privilege it c• o bind
two willing hearts in the silken bond of matrimony?
But we don't think so now—a change hascome over
the spirtt of our dream; and although getting old
ourself, we some how have a fancy for laces resem
bling those of our quondam sweethearts. It is very
probable °Ns lady of our acquaintance may not ex
actly approve of thiS notion of ours, but we can't
help it. Do wish parents would be considerate e
nough to keep their pretty girls cooped, just as they
do thvir chickens in garden time, for the very sight
of them 'stirs the blood of an old man's veins and
makes pulses play." There goes one of the vixens
now—see how she trips along, scarcely bending the
grass beneath her elastic step—she greets us with
a bewitching smile. We know one who would
give hall his fortune for the mate to it; but he can't
have what is so freely given to one who is incapa
ble of appreciating it, and who would not have re
ceived it, had it not been mortgaged, and the mort
gagee cancelled by the sale of the real chattel.
Well, who cares for the little beauties? Let
'em go it while their young. In a few years you'll
be old too. We begin to hate them. now that we,
begin :o remember the slippery tricks theirmammas
and aunts used to serve upon us. We repeat, they
ought to be caged up, and not suffered to practice
their "winning ways" on sedate men of middle age.

tween the two houses, when he was accosted by a
very grave personage, wearing a long drab coat,
and whom he knew to be a deacon, with the query,
'What's the price of nails?'
'Six cents,' replied C.
'Too high,' said the deacon. 'Can buy them for
five and a half.'
`Can't you buy thOmfor less?' askedt C.
'No,' replied the deacon ; 'but can get all I want
for that.'
Turning on his heel the deacon went out and en•
tered the door of the next house, while C. slipped
through the middle door, and having pulled off his
coat, and picked up a hammer, met the deacon,
who, not recognizing him, inquired the price of
nails.
'Five and a half cents,' responded C.
'Whew!' whistled. the deacon. !Too high—can
buy the best at five and a quarter.'
'Can't you buy for less?' asked C.
'No,' said our friend, 'but can buy at that.'
Away he went again, and walked up stairs thro'
another door—the up stairs being occupied by an
other firm; and C., sliding into the lower house
again, and going up stairs, again met the deacon,
who, for the third time, inquired the price of nails.
'Five and a quarter cents, replied C.
'Five and a quarter!" ejaculated the deacon.—
'Can buy the best at five cents.'
'No less?' asked C.
'No,' said the deacon, as he was about to leave,
when C. took hold of him, and said—
'Friend, I've quoted nails to you at six, at five
and a half, and five and a quarter cents; each time
you said you could buy them for less. Now, when
you preach again, just let me know, and I will cor
roborate your statements.'
It is,. needless to say the enterprising deacon
made his exit in double quick time, without hav
ing the grace to reply to the accommodating clerk.

the means by which I 'lves restored to health, (after

to any one who will write me a plain, but brief
statement of his case, and remit $5, to enable me
to pay for advertising, postage; &c., and time and
trouble of writing out directions, which require no
interference, with business will certainly improve
the general health, as well as invigorate the organs
affected, and perfect a cure as soon as possible, at
very trifling expense. Correspondents may rely upon
promplty receiving the desired information, as I
have no disposition to trifle with or speculate upon
the misfortunes ofmy fellow men, nor any other mo

don, Graduate from ono 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 bashfulness, with
frequent blushing, attended, sometimes, with de
rangement of mind, were cured immediately.
TAKE "AR'.I lOU LAR 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 ef
fects 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 fearful 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, Tithidity, &c. are some of the evils pro
duced.
ERBEN & CO
NERVOUS DEBILITY.
Weakness or 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 must 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 arid wards. Alas! how often do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the Hea.i, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effects, such as loss 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 from ex
istence thousands who might have been of use to
their , muntry, a pleasure to their friends, an orna
moth 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 from indiscretion. Such
persons, before contemplating
• MARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, vithout 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 tho care of Dr
JOHNSTON, may religiously confide in his hon
or as a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon his
skill as a Physician
TO STRANGERS.
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 find a skilful and
honorable physician.
