Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, Grad
nate from one of the most eminent Cclleges in the Gutted
Staters, and the greater part of whose life boa been spent
in the hospitals of London, Paris, Philadelphia and else
where, has effected some of the most astonishing cures

Mere-cured immediately.
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

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.

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.
STRANGERS
Treat not your lives, or health, to the care of many Un
learned and worthless Pretenders, destitute of knowledge,
name or character, who copy Dr. Johnston's advertise
ments, or style themselves, in the newspapers, regularly
Educated Physicians, incapable of Coring, they keep you
trifling month after month taking their filthy and poison
ous compounds, or as long as the smallest fee can be ob.
seined, and In despair, leave you with ruined health to
sigh over your own galling disappointment.
Dr. Johnston is the only Physician advertising.
His credentials or diplomas always bang in his office.
His remedies or treatment are unknown to all others,
prepared from a lire spent in flit., great hospitals of Europe,
the first in Mt country and a more extensive Private
Practice than any other Physician in the world.

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.

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

Why is the air at once so strangely still?
Was that indeed a wily foeman's sham?

And nature falls to rest with a deep sigh;
The moon's Arat beams fall on a field of woe,
Where now no longer

Nor starry banners wave or goat on high,
But where a thousand lips utter a languid moan,
A thodaand throats breathe forth their dying groan
The beauteous summer sward is green no more ;
The tristing-spot where lovers were caressed
Is darkly clotted with fraternal gore.
There friend and foe—sad thought! forever rest,

When life and hope went out—all in one night!

Where Rappahannock's gentle waters glide,
And Iniebsuippl'e turbid stream cloth sow.

Whore blood has long since mingled with the tide
All honor be to those who sank to rest
Beneath the conquering banners of the West!
The bosom of the surging deep boldseome,
Wham they'll no longer hear the cannon's booms,
While others found their halt and dreary home
Where burning sands surround their silent tombs,
Or the sweet senthern roan perennial bloomy.
The Fallen Brave, 0 say, where rant they not,
In this broad land in many a lonely spell
Disturb not their elumbere, wherever they reel,
In the pleine of the Beet or the wilde of the West;
Disturb not their slumbers, for nobly they died,
Defending their homes and the land of their pride !
And long as Colombia's sons shall he free,
Their names shalt the watchword of Liberty be.

HOW A ROMAN EMPEROR LIVED.
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. I
cannot believe that the courage which achieved
their independence has degenerated. Let 1310
give you an itudaneo of how the people of En
gland vindicated their liberties against arbitrary
arrests by the Crown. 'John Wilkes' was im
prisoned in 1765, by an illegal warrant from the
then Secretary of State for an alleged libel, A
Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Benoh de
clared that warrant illegal and unconstitutional.
A jury awarded him large damages. Tae people
were aroused to the danger of the Crown sup
pressing their right to - freedom of speech and the
public discussion of mal-administration, and re
turned Mr. Wilkes to Parliament for the most
important constituency in the Empire.
"The citizens of London elected him Lord
Mayor by an overwhelming majority 1 ' Bir
Francis Burdett' was illegally imprisoned in the
Tower of London for vindicating the right of
free discussion. The people led him in triumph
from his dungeon and returned him as a mem
