DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most emiueut
Colleges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose lfo has been sput In the hospitals
of London, Fris, Philadelphia nd elsewhere,
has ullected some of the most astouisi,in!r cures
that were ever known j many troubled wuh ring
ing In the head and cars when asleep, gt
nervousness, being alarmed at suddeu sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have Injured
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body uud mind, uuhltiug
them for either busiuess, study, society or uiur
rlage. These are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Wcakucss of the Buck uud Limbs, l'uius in the
Buck and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Pnlpitnliuuof the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, &c.
Mentally The fearful effects on the mlud
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Kvil
Forcbodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Di.strust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, or-., are some of the
evils produced.
Thousands rjf persons of all ages can now
judne whut is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
uud emaciated, having n singular appearance
about the eyes, cough uud symptom of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by a certain prac
tice luJulged in when alone, a habit 'frequently
learned from evil Companions, or ut Bchool, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and If not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind aud body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects und enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
Eath of nature and indulging in a certain secret
abit. Such persons must, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind nnd body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage j the prospect
hourly darkens to the view j the mlud becomes
sbadowcil with despair and filled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with ourowu,
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided. 'and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that ho has Imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, It too often happens that un
ill-timed sense of shame, or dreud of discovery,
deters hlin from applying to those who, from
education und respectability, can alone befrleiid
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their upicuraiicc, such
us ulcerated Sore throat, diseased uosc, noctural
pains In tbo head und limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes ou the shin bones and uruis,
blotches on the bend, race and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at lusi the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in. and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to bis dreadful suffering, by seudlng
him to " that Undiscovered Country from hence
uo traveller returns."
It Is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE

..THY WILL BE DONE."
Jte .
There are some times when clonds of night
Close darkly round the pilgrim's way,
When countless sorrows nil unite,
Like shadows of the closing day
When the sweet voice of love is still,
And God In nngcr seems to hide,
And nil on earth is drear and chill.
And there is none to help or guide
Oh, then the weary heart knows well
How hard it is to walk nlone,
now hard Its trust unchanged lo loll,
And say "My God, thy will be done."
That night shall surely come, we know,
ui.u uurc ,,i cnini Riinii uru,
And the frail bark wc float below
Be tossed on life's tein pes tons sea
Those whom we love shall pass away,
Or leavo ns In the trying hour,
And not one bright or cheering ray
Shall gild the clouds which threat'ulng lower.
When no puro beam of hope so fair
Glints o'er the way so dark aud lone I
Uow hard 'tis theu tp breathe that prayer
"My Father, uiuy thy will be doue.".
Yet there are times when enrttt Is gay, '
When life is sweet and well we know
That round the pleasant future way
No cloud will east a shade of woe.
All, all is fair all, all is bright,
And life seems one long day of Joy,
And not one cloud of threatening night
Custi o'er the present Its alloy
Then we forget in limes so fair,
That ere a few short days huve gone,
In sorrow we shall need that prayer t
."My Father, may thy will be done !"
Life's eventide, with shades of gloom,
M ast soon close of lira's fairest day
Tho night of death Ike cheerless tomb,
Is the sole end of swelest ilnv ,
Aud those snd times whltt, grievous sccui.
uu joyless ns inu eiouus r nlgllt,
But hide ft while that brighter beam
Which ever gilds the realms of lltrlil ,
And he is blest alone who knows,
As wondering through this desert lone,
Midst all his trials, all his woes,
To pray, "My God, thy will be done 1"

tho attention of the public was first called
u the history nnd condition of these extra
ordinary specimens of hutnnnily, wo were
inelined, i were a great ninny others, to
deduct about iwo-iiiirdo from what hud
Uen said concerning them, iu order to ;et
at the truth, mid place the amount deduct
ed to the credit of the imagination or dis
position to cxaggerato of those who lirst
threw light upon their condition. Hut wo
find that lilttu hns been written concerning
them that is not true, nnd taking into con
sideration all the incidents attending their
existence, their history is ouo Hint haa few
parallels, and is one of tho strangest nuo
inalies of civilized life.
The circumstances of their discovery by
the outside world are these : A parly of
gentleman had been out on a hunting ex
pedition through the wilds of Monroe town
ship, in Wyoming county, and one of their
number happened to come across the girl
in a state of nudity a short distance from
the hut where she lived. The other mem
bers of tho party were notilied of tho dis
covery made, and the girl traced to her
home, where two other members of the
family fatl.er and brother were found.
Their discovery was first published in the
Tttnkhannork llejixiblican, nnd excited tho
attention of Mr. J. Freeman, of the l'itts
tou Comet. This gentleman in company
with soma others uudeitook to test the
truth of the story, nnd learn further parti
culars, and succeeded in linding tho habi
tation ofihese extraordinary creatures, nnd
also, that not one-half had been written
that might bo concerning them, ns was ev
ident from the columns of the Pittatou
Coinet a short tinio after. Tho researches
of Mr. Freeman cxeilcd still further won
der and another visit was paid to tho
"wild children of tho woods" by a third
pnrty of gentlemen. These were of a prac
tical turn of mind, took iu tho whole situa
tion at a glance, nnd the result was a con
tract between the father of tho children nnd
the parties of tho second part, which lias
led to their introduction into Scranton so
ciety and wherever else they mav go. We
niuy slate in this connection that it was !
with thu utmost ditticullv that the lather
was induced to consent to an exhibition,
believing us ho did, fur some t'um-, tliut it
was merely a scheme to get his children
away troui him. His dislike was, however,
at lust overcome, chielly by the urguinculs
und H'i suasions of his ueighbors.

children, wo suspect that they would I ku

cfTecliotis tho first time ho saw her, and his
progress into Iter's being at about tho same
rate, they joined bnnds nnd got married.
The person who tied the knot was an indi
vidual named John Frier, who was a
squire, and at, tho same time followed the
honorable ctnploymeut of a turner nt Slab
town on the roaj between Centervillo and
Howmnn's Creek. Ho was twenty-six years
of ago when ho formed this conjugal alli
ance, nnd according to his own story, it
wns one not at nil times calculated to con
tribute to his comfort or lead hiuUo look
back on the ocension with feelings of plea
sure. Though giving no evidence of much
educatiou, he speaks tjuito fluently, nnd
1ms n variety of words nt command. Ho
Is something of an elocutionist, and gives
Daniel Webster's eulouium on Washington
with considerable power and effect, l'er
linp his most remarkable accomplishment
is that he can write a system of phono
graphy, which ho picked up out of tho old
book, with considerable raniditv. Thn
cimrnciera are made with gnat legibility,
and lis can read them at once. This jg a
strange accomplishment, and shows the
manner in which he has employed his wW
home, lie uses the neu in other wnva with
a good deal of dexterity, his specimens of
piinuiig ix'ing wormy ol inspection.

Wo are uow prepared to iutroducc our
renders to tho maiu objects of curiosity
the children. These n'ro a boy nud girl.
As to their exact ages tho father cannot
neak delinltely. The practice of civilized
lite of registering the ages of offspring in
the family lUble was followed by him, out
he says his wife destroyed tho record or
iook the book away with her. He tup-1
puH, liowever, that the olde&t child tho
girl was bom Hv(,ui three years after their
marriage, which r.,M nmti twrago about
twonty-two. Hetweeu tier ngo una the
boy's there is three yours, making his ago
about nineteen. As they appear on exhi
bition, they are clothed with rod llanuel
shirt and pants, buttoued loosely around
them ; the pants being n little lacking iu
longitude, and only comimr tho length of
their knees. Their appearance is uol nt
all idiotic, hut m!LT i.niu.. The Au-es of
both are sharp, the noses prominent, tho
cheek-bones high, tho mouths large, the
foreheads thrown imek n Util,,. but not low,
their complexion llorid, and lit up uu me
time with it laugh. The hair of their heads
is tho identical Color of their father's, and
is loug and mutted. Their lower extremi
ties are a little distorted, owing to the habit
of squalling on the ground with both their
limbs turned iu one direction. Their skiu
is rough aud hard and covered with blotch
es and scratches from exposure. The girl
is stouter thau the hoy and is very docile.
The boy hits the npiienruuco of being starv
ed, and has an ugly disposition. This he
manifests sometimes by lighting with the
father, nnd the girl bears the marks of
several injuries inllicted on her while iu
ill-humor. Most of the time, however, they
are kindly disposed toward each other, nnd
when pleased '.he boy manifests his plea
sure by uttuinpling to'scrutch the eirl's arm
or lace, utter which ho puts his lingers in
his mouth und does so iiiinin. They are
constantly muttering something to them
selves, us if making nil effort to speak but
there is no evidence that they undei stand
each other. Their early history may be
told iu a few words. Their mother was of
a delicate unture, and both the children at
uu early age were subject to liu. They
never niunitested any disposition to articu
late English. The father complains that
the mother let them run nbout through the
woods in the summer time naked, urgin'
us a reason for her neglect thnt they did
uot require any clothing. In the winter
she made them mocassins nnd put a cloth
around their shoulders, and during the ut
most vigors of the season, this was their
only clothing. The girl, especially, is very
hardy nnd adventurous. She ha been
known to ruin away several miles from
homo ami sleep out several nights in the
most intense cold. She often npiicnrcd
naked upon the public roads ami upon the
approach of a traveler would run into the
woods, itcluro being on exhibition her
method of locomotion was on all fours,
khu having gradually becomu habituated
to this system of progression by seeking iir
beech nuts niuong the leaves in the woods.
This might t'urnitdi Harwin or sunin of thu
advocates of llio "IK i 'opulent hvpotess"
with nn instance of "Iteversion," nud he
might find in this creature nnu of the mis
slug links so long sought after. With thu
exception of thu epileptic attacks whilu
young, the children huvu been very healthy.
Their diet has been principally potatoes
und other vegetables. Their little r owns
