TWEE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured themselves by improper indulgence and solitary babies, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for either business, eoeiery or marriage. Teas are some of the sad and ngliensboly effecte pro duced by - early habits of youth, via: Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Paine to the Head, Dimness of Bight, LO4B of aluecular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dys pepsia, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of the Digestive Functions, General Debility,Sylnptoms of Consumption, &e. lentrenta.v.—The fearful effectu on the mind are much to be dreaded—Lose of Memory, Confusion of Ideas, Dupree alone of dpirita, evil korbodinge, Aversion to Society, Self. Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c., are some of the evils produced. Tam:rat:ma of persona of all ages can now judge what is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming weak, pate, nervous and emaciated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption. vocrara WEN Who have injured themselves by a certain practice indul ged in when alone, a habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at school, the MMus of which are nightly felt, even When asleep, and if not cared renders marriage impossible, and destroys both mind and body, should ap ply immediately. W hat a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the darling of his parent., should be snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature and indulging in a cer tain secret habit. Such persons 111176 T, before contemplat ing • MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness. Indeed, with out these the journey through life becomes a weary pil grimage; the prospect hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes shadowed with despair and filled with the melancholy reflection that the happiness of another be• comes blighted with our own. 111 ] ~ When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often happens that an ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of assovevy,doteff. hint floin applying to ilteb6 who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such an ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the hekd and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin-bones and arms, blotches on the bead, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, tilt at last the palate of the month or the bones of the nose fall in, and the victim Of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of COMIIII6- oration, till death puts a period to his dreadful sufferings, by sending him to "that Undiscovered Country from whence no traveller returns." It is a melancholy fact that thomianda fall victima to this terrible disease, owing to the unskiLlfainess of ignor ant pretendere, who, by the nee of that :Dco Ily Poiaoh, Mercury, rain the catenation and make the residue 0 lite miserable.

THE F&LLEN BRAVE. BY DANIEL B. SCRONDLER, EITTZTOWN, PA. The heroes who have conquered in the strife. Now deluging our land with streams of gore, Acd through the bottle bore a charmed life, Have had their mead of praise—and sometimes more; Frond he Atlantic to Pacific's shore, In ev'ry heart their memory dwells enshrinrd, And there will live as long as lives mankind., We do not wish to darken one bright gem, That cpatklue 111 the vletaile 61MA-bought crown Nor of one jewel rob that diadem Of never-fading glory and renown ; Nay, rather to our children would hand down, From age to age, their gallant deeds and name Justly recorded on the scroll of fame. 32,130 00 25,500 00 21,300 00 11,7 CO 00 Bet Mara are other man, n high. minded men," Dien in the common ranks as brave as they, Whoa° eamea and valor neither tongue nor pen Will ever blazon; in the bloody fray They perished and are bra ied where they lay. To these, "The Fallen Brave," we humbly deign To raise a feeble yet an honest strain. 15,300 00 ]6,277 00 8,6{2 79 11,00 CO 10.300 Of? C,060 09 When first upon the calm end midnight air Was heard the cannon's lend and sullen peal, And through the country rolled the trumpet's blare To summon Freedom's Sons to pit their eteel 'Oainet that of brother foes, and for the weal. Of their Imperiled sod dear Fatherland To measure wow= with ti traitor band;— :~~ 2,0.4 00 16,200 00 And when that call was said alone to be Tu keep Intact the boon our fathers gave; To strike a blow for freedom and the free, The sacred shrine of Liberty to save, And guard the Father or hie country's grave; Then eager thousands from the loyal North, From "Maine's bleak coast to Oregon," marched forth 9,750 09 4,560 00 IMO 6,697 0 They answered to their bleeding conntry'e call And left their homes and all their pleasures ten, To sacrifice for her their lives—their all. They left with souls as strong and arms as true As 'Mr 6 Werti er gmbiug Para drew, And swore that they would never backward tread, Till they had crashed the Rebel Hydra's head. 4,900 00 10,000 00 1,000 00 3,300 00 'Twas thus the armies of each loyal State Were marshalled—as were those in days of yore ; High were their motives and their hearts elate When. standing on Potomac's gamed shore. They vowed to Freedom's came each drop of gore. That was indeed a proud and mighty host,— It was the world's surprise, the nation's boast. 1,675 00 1,000 00 II 100 OD They were the offspring of those noble sires Who more than eighty years ago did till Odr land Will.

In vain. 00,408 05 40,812 54 55,985 79 EMI There is a calm before the gath'ring storm, When nature seems in dread suspense to stare; Dark and dread omen of that fleece alarm That soon will rend the still yet startled air 'Mid thnnd'ring clash of steel end shouts of war ; It is the earthquake's deep and warning hush, The awful avalanche's bridled matt ! 462,699 97 EME3 But hark I yes hark! the painful spell Ic broke, The breeze now wafts to us the martial song ; A sudden Haab—a mighty Mond of smoke,— And now a fearful rumbling, deep and strong, Like that of distant thunder, rolls along, And having crossed the wide and bill-girt plain, It faintly rolls in echoes back again. 0 bark! it is the battle's opening boom, That beats with heavy shock on ev'ry shore, And is the knell of many a hero's doom. Yet welcome is the belching cannon's roar, And welcome are see din and shouts of war To men who each, with longing, panting heart, ie striving to act well his noble part. Another Hash—another deafening roar, A roar that wakes each wild beast in his lair, And see! 0 see ! yet nearer than before Corner dill another flash, with dazzling glare-- A third! and yet a fourth!—and now the air Is filled with livid lightning!—Earth and Sun Bear Witness that the conflict hash begun! But no! hark! hush!-0 say, what means this calm? Why is the air at once so strangely still? Was that indeed a wily foeman's sham? What I no! yes! see on yonder distant bill It. comes, Ito comes, with drawn and Slogans steel, Be comes a terrible and haughty band— Who such a rushing torrent can withstand? Now darts the Are from every soldier's eye, And all are eager for the glorious fight! Now wildly rings the fearful bottle cry 1— New belolles ford. the smoke in eloods like hight ! And now the Hulling sabres come In eight! Now thunders forth the mighty cavalry Amid the volleys of the musketry ! While fiercely, like a rushing avalanche, That bears and leaves destruction in Its path, The Ponthern herd., from every nook sod trench, Each wildly forth amid a shower of death !

Bruce, in his '"Classic and Historic Portraits," gives the following sketch of that effeminate Creature, the Emperor Heliogabalus : In his magnificence, Heliogabalus was truly Oriental. He had beds and couches of solid sil ver. He adorned others of his beds with gold. his chariots glittered with gems. They werc drawn sometimes by elephants, sometimes by stags, and sometimes by beautiful naked vomen. Hie drinking and cooking vessels were of silver. He was also guilty of the luxury which at a later period, St. Chrysoatom charges as a sin against the Christian ladies of Constantinople—of using vessels of the most precious material for the most ignoble purposes. He had cups artifieisily perfumed for drink— ing, and others on which lascivious designs were sculptured; an iniquity not confined to ancient and heathen Limes. At table he reclined on couches stuffed with the fur of hares or the down of partridges. He wore cloaks heavy with gems, and used to say that he was burdened with a load of pleasure. He bad gems in his shoes, sculptured with designs by the finest ar— tists. He wore a diadem of precious stones that he might resemble a woman. He is said to have been the first Roman who wore robes of entire silk. He never, it is said, wore a ring for more than one day, or twice put on the same shoes. In his more refined and elegant luxuries he was the rival of the ancient Demetrius Polior cetes. He had beds and conches of rpm, and walked amongst lilies, violets, hyacinths and narcissus. When he wished to add the piquant flavor of cruelty to his enjoyments, he would stifle a cour tier to death in a bed of flowers. Ile swam in water perfumed with saffron and precious un guents; and wine and aromatics were poured into his fish•ponds and his baths. In eating and drinking be appears not so much as a glutton, but as the chief of all royal epicures —the equal in gastronomic science of the re nowned Apidas. fie joined with all who studied the pleasure of the palate in admiration of the dish which the Romans made of the teats of a newly farrowed pig—the most celebrated of an cient luxuries. After the example of Apicius he indulged in dishes made of the tender parte of the heel of the camel, and of combs torn from the heads of living cocks. This latter delicacy, Cassaubon, in his commentary on the passage in the Augustan historian in which it is referred to, tells us, is at this day—that is, in his day, two hundred years ago—passionately sought after by men of learned palates. Like Vitellus, he seems to have had his appetite whetted by the expensiveness of the dishes which he procured; and in sacrificing the rarest and most beautiful birds for the sake of eating their heads, their brains or their tongues. At one entertainment he displayed on his table the heads of six hundred ostriches, whose brains, as well as those of the flamingo and thrush, were amongst his favorite repasts. He also indulged in the tongues of peacocks and nightingales, be lieving that they had a medical virtue in averting epilepsy. He also made dishes of the entrails and sometimes of the beards of the mullet, of the eggs of partridges, and the heads of pheasants, peacocks and parrots. We wonder at the destruc tion of creatures so lovely to the sight as the peacock, the flamingo and the pheasant, for the particle of delicate eating to be got from them, but epicurism and gluttony consume and destroy all other tastes. The genius of Heliogabalus shone particularly bright in the cooking of fish. In this department he is said to have invented new modes unknown to Apicius ; but with a refined hatred of things common and cheap, he would never taste fish at all when he was near the sea, but always took delight in them when far removed from water, just as he took a fancy for having snow brought to him in midsummer. He offered rewards for the discovery of new dishes of exquisite flavor, and ho had a humorous way of stimulating the invention of those around him in this science. When a courtier, after exerting his best skill to please him, produced a dish which he did not relish, he made the ingenious artist himself con tinue to eat of that dish and nothing else, till his faculties, sharpened by disgust, enabled him to find out something superior for his master. Like' Nero and Caliguia, Heliogabalus had his jocularities— generally practical ones—some times merely absurd, sometimes characteristical ly cruel. His most harmless entertainments in this way consisted of the suppers which he would give one night to eight men, all of them blind of one eye, sometimes to eight men afflicted with gout, then to eight deaf men, eight blank men, eight tall and eight fat men. He kept lions and leopards, which lay at table with him, in order to frighten his friends. He would get a company filled with drink, and after locking them up for the night, would let loose amongst them lions, leopards and bears, with their claws pared, to terrify them ; and many, it is said, died of fright. At other times, when daylight would break in on the company who had been drinking the night before, they would find themselves in the arms of ugly black women. At other times be made sham entertainments, like the Barmicide's feast in the Eastern tale, setting his guests down to dishes made of wax, ivory or stone, painted after nature. He collected serpents together and let them loose to bite his victims. He would'tie his courtiers to a wheel and have them whirled round in water, calling them, in allusion to the mytho logical fable, his 4, Ixionite friends." Fearing a violent death from the vengeance of the people, Heliogabalus had made preparations, which turned out to be all in vain, for termina ting his existence in an elegant manner. He had poison mixed up with the most precious articles, he had ropes of crimson and purple silk ready to strangle himself with, and golden swords to stab himself with. He had also a high tower built with rich adornings, where he might breathe out his last in royal state. The manner of his death was just the reveres of all that he desired. After being slain, his body was thrown into the common sewer, then dragged through the streets and cast into the Tiber- Acecording to Herodian and Dion, the same indignities were inflicted on the body of his mother, who was killed at the same time. Dion represents Heliogsbalus as having been slain in her arms, and . states that both their [VOL. XXIV -NO. 7.-VirIIOLE NO. 1971. heads were out off, and their bodice were Orli:Ted naked, and that, the one was thrown into one place of the river and the other into another. THE ORIGIN OF HONEY. The following is an abstract of a paper on the above aubjeat, recently read before the Bristol (England) Microecopical Society, by W. W. Stoddard: Although honey is a familiar body, it is curious to note how little mention is made in any ahem Leal or botanical work of the changes that take place in its elimination, of its origin, or even of its composition. Moat chemical authorities sim ply state that the solid crystalline portion of honey is grape sugar, but say nothing of the liquid. Johnson, in his "Chemistry of Common Life," says : " Honey is formed or deposited naturally in the nectaries of flowers, and is ex tracted therefrom by the bees, When nliewed to stand for some time, it separates into a white, solid sugar, consisting of -white crystals and a thick semi-fluid syrup. Both the solid and liquid sugars have the same general properties. The solid sugar of honey is identical with the sugar of the grape." Such is the drift of the whole information that can be gathered respecting the composition of honey. On dissecting the honey-bee, we find the pro boscis continued into a beautiful ligula or tongue. It is a flexible organ, covered with circlets of very minute hairs. The ligula of the honey-bee differs from that of the other divisions of the bee family (the Andrmnidte), both in shape and microscopic appearance. It is probable that the bee uses the ligula by inserting it in the nectar, which would be plentifully collected by means of the hairs before mentioned. These hairs very likely answer a somewhat similar purpose to the teeth of the molluscan tongue. At the base of the proboscis commences the oesophagus, which, after passing through the thorax, terminates in an expanded sac, termed the honey-hag. This is an elastic glandular organ, placed before the entrance to the true stomach. Into this sac the saccharine fluid enters after being swallowed. Should, however, any more solid substance be present, it is forwarded into the true stomach for trituration by the numerous teeth with which it is furnished. The honey-gland also secretes a peculiar acid to be mentioned presently. The bee retains the fluid portion in the honey-sac till the proper time should arrive for deposition in the cell of the honeycomb. At the base of the corolla of a flower, on the thalamus, is a part termed by botanists " the disc." It is that portion which intervenes be tween the stamens and the pistil. It is composed of bodies usually in the shape of scales or glands. When examined at the proper season, they are seen to abound in a thick, sweet fluid, which, since the days of Aristotle and Virgil, has re joiced in the name of " nectar." On this account the part yielding it received formerly the name of " nectary." Even in the present day, those organs are the subject of mutt misapprehension. Linnaeus and his followers gave the name " neo tary" to any gland or organ for whose office they could not otherwise account. The plants which furnish the greatest quantity of nectar, end are, therefore, most liked by the bees, gen erally excrete it from the disc of the flower. On many plants, however, as the ranunculus and fritillaria, a small glandular organ occurs at the base of each petal, and in which also nectar is enclosed, though not in such profusion as in the disc before alluded to. As will presently be shown, the nectar is a simple solution of cone-sugar formed from the amylaceous sap of the flower, and elaborated for the nutrition of stamens and pistil. What the bees find in the flowers is the surplus left when these organs have been supplied. The author examined every flower he could collect at the early Beason of the year, (April and May,) and found sugar in them all, whether furnished with discs or nectariferous glands, or not, and came to the conclusion that sugar is necessary to the male reproductive organs of the flower, as it is lR thvra Wady t 9 h found, thy 69-callfd rice* riferous body merely serving the purpose of a reservoir. The plants which in England are most attrac tive to bees are—mignonette, currant, hazel, wall flower, hollyhook, raspberry, broom, rose- • mary, lime, buckwheat, clover, willow, goose berry, lemon, thyme, heath, turnip, osier. On examining an immature blossom of wall flower, the vessels will be found filled with an amylaceous fluid which gives a distinct blue with iodine. After the lapse of from twenty four to fortreight house, the flower having be come much more expanded and the stamens more mature, the fluid on being again tested will have a sweet taste, and give a dirty bluish brown instead of a blue with iodine. On cutting out the discs of several ripe speoimens of wall flower, the author obtained a syrupy, clear, colorless fluid. This was mixed with a small quantity of distilled water, treated with lime and carbonic acid in the usual way, and filtered. The filtrate was then concentrated, and allowed to crystalize spontaneously on a glass slip. The result was a beautiful regular orop of crystals of cane-sugar. As the flower became more mature, the saccharine fluid was acted upon by the vegetable acids more and more, until at length, when the ovary being fertilised,. and the flower dead, a last examination showed the saccharine residue on the withered disc to be nearly all grape sugar, almost incapable of being fairly crystalized. The bee, visiting the flowers when in their prime, inserts its ligula into the blossom, and laps up the greater portion of the liquid sugar, which, after passing through the oesophagus, is deposited in the honey sac. It here comes in contact with the secreting glands, which emit an acid which the authoe's experiments showed to be identical with formic acid. This it is, doubt less, which causes the peculiar tingling sensa tion at the back of the throat, when much honey has been swallowed, and which is more percepti ble to some than others. The bee, after its ar rival at the hive, empties the contents of the honey-sac into the comb, where it remains until the store of honey is taken. When separated from the comb, the purest honey is a clear, thick liquid, which after standing becomes thicker, till at length it sets," as it is technically cal led. A small bit of this, placed under a quarter of an inch objective, shows that this is owing to the grape. sugar (which has gradually been form ing at the expense of the cane) crystallizing out in extremely thin, regular mix sided prisms. All the cane-sugar is retained in the liquid portion of the honey. This crystallisation proceeds as the whole of the cane-sugar • becomes converted into grape. When this takes place, so great is the proportion of crystals that this honey is said to "candy," and is not considered so good from the presence of acetic acid, which is produced by the grape•sugar, Which in its turn undergoes a change through the agency of fermentation. The honey crystals are not identical with those of cane sugar. On more closely examining a slide containing a bit of old honey, besides the PirialUe *ill bo seen small bundles of crystals. These are man na-sugar. They remain after honey has been fermented, and may thus be separated. With these, email round or oval bodies will also be noticed spread, over the field of the microscope, and are the pollen globules, showing in a beau tiful manner from what flower the honey was collected. Of course they vary with every locality ; but it is worthy of remark that a bee will only visit the same species of flower at the same journey; for the examination of a great number of bees will show that two kinds of pol len are never found on the same inecot, although they may be very different on another working .on the same flower-bed. A single bee, with all its industry, energy and the innumerable jour neys it has to perform, will not collect more than a teaspoonful of honey in a single season, and yet the total weight of honey taken from a single hive is often from sixty to one.hundred pounds. A very profdahle limn of what great results may arise from persevering and associated labor ! The evidence on which the author relied for the presence of formic acid was by distilling the honey and receiving the dietillate in an alkaline solution. The resulting solution, after decom position by an acid and evaporation, afforded all the usual reactions, and readily reduced the salts of silver. The foregoing facts, therefore, clearly show that-Ist. Honey is derived simply from a solu tion of cane-sugar, identical in every respect with that from the sugar-cane ; 2d. That it af terwards receives the addition of a small quantity of formic acid from the glands of the bee; 3d. That cane-sugar afterwards becomes gradually altered into grape-sugar by chemical deoompo salon. The flavor of honey is, of course, quite accidental, and dependent on the aroma of the flowers the bees have visited. LOYALTY AND DISLOYALTY These terms, naturally foreign to our language as well as to the Spirit of our institutions, have become engrafted upon our common dialect by the constant repetition of them by the abolition press—a press alternately fawning and bigoted. Since we are compelled to use this jargon borrowed from courts, by these malignant toad ies of Lower, let us consider what meaning has been attached to it by Republicans. It is a matter of some curiosity, if not of importance, to know what nowadays constitutes loyalty. Af— ter tolerably minute inquiry and observation, we are happy to be able to gratify our readers, and we herewith furnish a table of signs and symbols by which they can always tell a number one loy al man, as well as a disloyal wretch SIGNS OF LOYALTY 1. Bellow about the negro at all hours and in all places. 2. Pocket as much money and as many ggt offices as you can 3. Boast about your patriotism vociferously like the old Pharisee did about his piety. 4. Justify everything the adminietration does, and swear that every man's a traitor who don't agree with you—even if all his sons are in the army while you are pocketing fat jobs. 6. Abuse Democrats like pickpookete. 6. If there is any more money or plunder, grab it. 7. Grab more money. 8. Nigger! Nigger! 9. More money. SIGNS OF DISLOYALTY 1. Drawing a distinction between the govern ment and the administration..austaining the one at all times—approving the other when it does right, and rebuking it when it does wrong. 2. Asserting at all times that because the rebels have violated the laws of the land, it is no justification for us to violate them. 3. Fighting and furnishing means for the re storation of the Union, the Constitution and the laws, and ignoring abolition schemes for the ne gro. 4. Strenuously urging a policy that will make the re-union of the States possible, instead of fostering measures to widen the breach. These are the signs of loyalty and disloyalty furnished by the Republicans themselves.— Cleveland Plaindealer. HISTORICAL PARALLELS. Mr. Edwin James was requested by several friends to attend the New-York meeting, on Monday evening, and express his sentiments upon the question of Mr. Vallandigham's arrest. In declinging to be present and take part in po litical discussions until he has obtained the com plete rights of citizenship, he gave an historical hint or two which is well worth consideration: " Upon such a question, I should think," said Mr. James, " that, irrespective of party, but one sentiment can actuate the American people.
