Now, who that understands the subject will pretend to deny that the power of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into lmproiH.'r habits than by the prudent t Bcxides being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring, the most serious and destructive symptoms to both body and mind arise.

JOHNSTOK, Member of the Royal College of Burgeons, I.ou don. Graduated from on of the most eminent College In tho United States, and the greater art of hnv tf kua bn spent iu cue Hospitals of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has utl'ectcd some of the uiout atouiihlng cures thut were ever kuviwn ; many troubled with ring ing In the head and cars when asleep, "ureal nervousness, being alarmed nt sudden sounds, basbruincss, with frequent blushing, utlen lcd sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured immediately. TAKK fAKTiCUi.AU NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have iulurrd themselves by Improper Indulgence and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting tlicm for either buiinets, nudy, society or mar riage. 1 uEsa ar some of the sad nud melancholy effects produced by early habits of youth, viz: Meanness or tne Back aud Limbs, l'alus In the Buck and Head, Dimness ol Sight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, D.vsoepsy, .Nervous Irritability, Derangement of 1'iL'etive r unctions, benerai Debility, Symptoms ol Con sumption, Ac. . .mentally The rcarrul etiects on the mind are much to le dreaded Loss of Memory, Co:-- J i up ion ot iaeas, ueprersioa ot rpirm, tvii Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, Ac, are some cf the evils produc ed. Thousands of Persons of all ntrcs can now judge what is the cause of their declining health, losing lueir vigor, becoming, wean, pale, nervous and emaciated, having a singular apjiearance about the eyes, cough aud symptom ol consump tion. TOUNG MEN Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac tice Indulged lu when alone, a habit frequently learned lrora evil compuulons, or at school, the ctlecl of which are nightly full, even when asleep, and l( not cured, renders niarriagv Impos sible, aud destroys both mill 1 and body, should pply Immediately. What a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the darling of his parents, should be snatched from all prospects and enjoymeuta of life, by the consequence or deviating from me path of nature aud iudulgiug in a certain secret habit. Such persons hi st, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a souud mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the journey through life become a weary pilgrimage: the prospect hourly darkens to the view i the mind becomes shadowed with dcsiair und tilled with the melan choly reflection, that the huppiues of another become blighted with ournwn. a CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided und imprudent votary of pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of this painful diaaasc, it loo often happens thut an ill-tiincd sense of hume, or dread of dUvovory, deters him from applying to those who, from educatlou and resimciubility, can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noetural pains la the head and limbs, dimuess of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones aud arms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till ut lust the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall In, and the victim of this awful disease become a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending him to "that Undiscovered Country from w'leucc uo traveller returns." It Is a melancholy fact that thousauds DIE Victims to this terrible disease, through falling into tne nands or ignorant or unskillful r K& TKNDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, &e., destroy the constitution, and incapable of curing, keep the uuuuppy sufferer mouth after luouth taking their unxious or In jurious compounds, aud instead of being restored to a reuewal of Lire Vigor aud HappluekS, lu des- 1air leave him with ruiued Health to sigh over is galling disappointment. To such, therefore, Dr. Johnkton pledges him self to preserve tb most Inviolable Secrecr, aud from his exteusive practice aud observations lu the great Hospitals of Europe, aud the first in this couutry, viz : England, France, Philadelphia and elsewhere, is enabled to Oder the most cer tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world for all disease of imprudence.

' 'Your aunt Carlton ftucl Cofisln Jennla will bo here In tho next train; Russell,' said Mr. Wilder to his nephew. You had bet ter bring the pony chaise and bring them from the ' . . ,,. 'Can'L Am going away myself, sir. . 'The the d 1 you are P responded the old tentremnn, pushing his spectacles up over his forehead and regarding his nephew with an air of surprise and consternation." 'Yes, sir. Charley Jlunt invited roe out to his place for a few weeks, and I thought that I might as well po now as any time. 'I should say that U was" n very strange time to be leaving home. Your onnt and cousin will consider It a personal affront, sir. ' , ' :.. 'It is not intended at such, sir. Though, to be frank, considering the ohjoct of Jen nie's visit, I prefer not to see li'er. And I must say that 1 think she would have shown more sense of delicacy if she had stayed awav.' " 'l'our cousin is a very lovely girl, ilr. Impudence, and won't be likely to go beg ging. - - - 'I don't doubt it in the least. But for all that she won't suit me tor a wife, uncle.' ,'llow do you know that, you conceited young donkey, when you have never seen her ?' inquired the irate old man bringing his cane down upon the floor with startling emphasis. ' ' " 'Common sense teaches me that no mar ringe can be happy that docs not spring from mutual love. And on one thing I am resolved, that I will uevcr marry for mer cenary motives.' 'Nobody wants you to marry the girl unlcso you like her I' roared Mr. Wilder, his face growing purplo with rngcand vex ation nt his nephew's perversity. 'All I ask is that you will stay and see her. And this is a point that I insist upon yes, sir, I insist upon it I' 'I am sorry to disobey you, uncle; but if I should slay it will only give riso to conclusions that I am anxious to avoid. But I will tell you what I will do ; I will relinquish all claim to the properly that you are so anxious should hot be divided. As that seems to be tho main object. I think that it ought to be satisfactory to all parlies." A tew minutes later Russell passed by the window, valiso in hand. lie nodded good humorcdly to his uncle, nt lie glanced in, who glared uftcr him in speechless Tiigo. 'He bhim't have a penny-nota penny!' he grow led. as, sinking bak in his chair, he wiped the pn.spi ration from his fora hend. 'What's the matter now ?' said tho gen tle voice of his wife Tolly, who had jul entered tharoom. 'Mailer tnouj.li, I should sny. Russell has gone actually cleared out, so as not to see his cousin. Wlial do you think of that?' 'I think you will haw another ultaek f the gout if you get yourself so e.oitcd, said tho good lad, aa bho placidly resumed he knitting. 'What's to bo done now ?' 'Xothiug that I cnu nee. If Husscll and Jeuuiu had seen each other liefore they had any notion that you wanted them to marry, leu to one but they would have fallen head and ears iu love with each other ; but as matters are now I don't Micvo it would be of the least use. From what Ellen writes me I think Jcnuie is as much opposzd to it ns Husscll. .She says she can't bear to hear his name mentioned, aud that it was as much as she could do to got her consent to come al all when she heard that Russell was at home.' 'They arc a couple of simpletons,' said the old gentleman, testily. i've got half a mind to make another will and leave my property to some charitable institution.' In going to Dighton, whither he was bound, Russell Wilder had to travel part of the way by stage. There was only one passenger beside himself, fur which he was not sorry, the (iuv being very hot and sultry. This passenger was a lady ; there was an air of unmistakable ladyhood about her which told him that. He noticad particu larly tho daintily-gloved hands aud well lltting boots. Her graceful form Indicated thatshe was both young and pretty, but he could not see her tiice on accouut of the envious veil that hid it But as soon as she got comfortably set tled in the corner, to which Kussell assisted her, she threw it back, disclosiug a fair, sweet face, lighted by a pair of wondrously bright black eyes, which shot a swift, be wildering glance Into his that were so In tently regarding her. The sudden starling of the coach, which sent some of the lady's parcels from the seal to the floor, gave Russell an opportu nity of speaking, as ho returned them, of which. he was not slow to take advantage. From this they fell easily into conversa tion ; and it was curious how sociable they became. They talked of the beautiful scenery through which they were passing ; of the newest books and latest magazines, some of which Russell had with him. The lady inwardly thought her compan ion to bo the most entertaining nnd agree able man she had ever met with. And as for Russell, he often lost the thread of bis discourse in admiring the red, dimpled lips, nnd the pearly teeth they disclosed when ever she spoke or smiled. Certain it is that his four hours' ride from V to Dighton were tho shortest four hours he had ever known in his life. 'Where do you want to be left, sir ' In quired the coachman as he entered the vil lage. 'At Mr. Charles Hunt's, Locust Hill. Do you know where that is ?' said Russell, pulling his head out of the window. Certainly, sir; takoyou there inajiffy.' Whv, there') where I'm going I' said the lady, opeuing her eyes widely, 'Kelly , Mr. Hunt's wilb is my most particular friend ; wa usod to go to school together.' 'Ami Charley Hunt is my most particu lar friend, aud one of the tiucst fellows in the world.' How very odd.' How very fortunate,' exclaimed Russell, with a inclining glance at his fair compan ion which made the rosy cheeks still more rosy. 'Might I lake the liberty of inquir ing ' But just at this moment the stage stop ped in Ii out of the house, on :lio portico of of which stood Mr. and Mrs. liant enjoy iug the evening breezo. - In a moment, Rusfx ll was shaking hands with the former, while his companion rush ed into tho arms of the surprised and de lighted wiffc. 'Whv, what a happy surprise, Jennie,' she tuid, after spirit iug her off to her own room ; '1 had given up all hope of seeing you tliis summer.'

Yon see, mam uin, my step-mother, you know was goiug to uncle Wiilard's, and she Insisted on my goiug with her, to see that hateful, disagreeable cousin of mine that' they arc determined I should marry. So when she was busy packing I Just put on my things and slipped oft leaving a nolo to tell where I was going. Was not that a good Joke on them All V ' , I should think it was, said ifcllio, with a burst of merriment far more than tlie oc casion warranted. "When I saw who your, companion was, I thought you wcro ou your wedding tour." :- i ".No, indeed $ never saw the man until he got on the stage at . Bat he is the finest looking man I ever saw, and so agreeable. Who is ho?" ,. ... "Oli, I'll introduce you when you come down stairs. . There's Sarah waiting to Bee me about supper. You will have only time to dress. Mind yon look your prettiest," And with a roguish shake of her finger at her friend Nellie, ran awav to sec about supper. If Jeunie did not look her prettiest she looked very lovely as she entered the sup. per-room, her linen suit exchanged for a fresh, soft muslin, whose simplicity and pu rity were relieved ouly by the violet-colored ribbons in the hair and at the throat. . Russell hnd also laken great pains with his toilet, ns could lie seen by the spotless lincu and carefully arranged hair. The pause that was followed by Jennie's entrance was broken by Mr.- Hunt, who, in response to a meaning glance from his wife said : "Russell, allow me to introduce you to your cousin Jennie ; Miss Caruon, your cousin, Russell Wilder." Tho embarrassment which followed the blank astonishment into which the an nouncement threw the parties, so unex pectedly made known to each other, was quickly dispelled by the turn that was giv en to the conversation by the host and hos tess.'" . i .. . , ,,,..-, i "I suppose you'll want to book yourself for the next stage V said Mr. Hunt, slyly, to Russell, who had been taken into his friend's confidence. 'And you,' said his w!fc, turning to Jen nie, 'I don't suppose auvthing would tempt you to remain, stow that you have tccn mat iiaicim, disagreeable .' '.Nellie,' interrupted Jennie, crimsoning. as she remembered her words. 'Woll, I won't then. But you must let me laugh. Just think of you runuing in the same direction nnd to the same place I' The riui'ing laugh that burst from Nel lie's lips was ton contagious to be resisted even by those at whose expenso it m cd. This merriment wna followed by a gen eral good feeling, and a pleasauter tc-t par-, ty never gathered around tho social board. We need hatdly say that Russell did not tnk" the stage the next morning, nor did Jcnuie scciu ut nil disposed to cut short her visit ou account of her cousin's unexpected appearance.

Mr. ' AY ilder's astonishment was only equalled by his delight, on looking out of the wi.iuow, io roe the iwo walking up the pat'i towards the house, nr;n in arm, and ajipnrcntly ou tho best of 'ernid. As for Russell and Jennie, they seemed to regard this unexpected meeting as an in dication of their manifest destiny, ac cepting it ns such, much to the joy of their unci';, wliohe dar.ing wish '.vas accomplish ed in the marriage of t!.o two, thus made hap; y in spite of themselves. IIEMIY CXAY. Uupabliabed Anecdote or (he Great Keutucklan. The course of Mr. Clay on the compro mise measures was very unsatisfactory to the South, and his own State denounced his actiou as freely as any. If was the usu al custom on his arrival home to spcud the summer months for a large concourse of people were to be present to welcome and shake hands witb him wheu he left the stage. Now, excepting a few personnl friends, there were none ; and they had even talked of electing a Democrat in his place. Clay got into his carriage, which was as rickety a concern as can well be im agined, and rode home iu moody silence. We kuew he was mad, aud said among ourselves : 'There will be h 11 to pay.' The following day he did not go out. Du ring the second day bis servant went to his room and informed him that a crowd was at the front door. 'Begone I' was the only response. The negro went down and told the crowd that 'Mr. Clay was quite unwell, aud tho faligud of travel had greatly prostrated him. Tho doctor had just left and forbidden his seeing company, but lie would be happy to see them as soon as able.' For several days this went on. People then begau to call rueetiugs and send committees. The State olliccrs finally took it up and iuvited him to give an ad dress. I never shall forget that speech. His voice was like a bugle, and swelled to trumpet calls. His eyes glowed like fire. He frothed at the mouth, aud dolled them with the eloquence and power of a demon. But it took the gallant Kentuckians by storm, and lie was again elected to the United States Senate. -- Clay owed 840,UO0 for which there was a mortgage on Ashland. The interest was always paid punctually, but he could uevcr reduce the piiucipal, and this at length became a source of great annoyance to him. In IcU4, when 7m visited tho bauk to pay the iuierest as usual, the old French clerk handed nut the uote. 'What does this mean l" inquired Clay, uudnr the im pression tliat they liad refused jto let it run any longer ; and he knew no way to meet it. 'The uote is canceled sir,' relied the , clerk ; 'you owe this bank nothiug.' 'My God t' said Clay, 'have I friends as good as this I' He was olfeuted to tears, which is said to be the only tiuio ho was ever kuowu to weep. John Clay was a wild, reckless fellow, aud the favorite of bis mother. In these days it was not beneath aVoman'i diguily to do somcthiug, aud she would often take to kniltiug, or pick berries, which she would semi to town ; and John would soon be ou a spree with the tuouey. She was one of that sort who cau never do enough good in the world and use all the exertions to uioviate distress and the suffering around Cue uight it was whispered around among us boys thai John Clay had gone to light a duel. Jn the moruing aa we went to cur meal, wa halted before filtering the break fast room, r our custom, waitiug for Mr. Clay to come from his study and lead the way.

Ho took a stop back ward and with his hand raised to tho full length of his long arm, nnd with his fingers quivering toward heaven, said with a voice which went through me like an electric shock : 'My dear woman, if John is right, In God's nnmo let him fight, by God 1' The poor woman went back to ler room to weep.-' Wo' Allowed Into the breakfust room, whercTic alelns toast and drank his tea in silence, and then returned to his study to road.

In tho fall ofl843 Longworth of Cmcin. nati sent to Mr. Clay a demijohn of native wiue. Mr. Longworth had imported the grape seed from wino makers iu Italy, and prided himself on having n splendid thing. It was a five gallon deniijohu, ihu stopper was covered with wax, aud stamped wil'j the letter There were six of us boys in the family, averaging some sixteen or seventeen years old. We used to study in the evening in our room, and would bor row the cellar key of Mrs; Clay and bring a pitcher of cider and a hat full of apples to, help us along in our lessons. One uight it was proposed we hhouli! tuste ofthe Cin cinnati Wine. We found a corkscrew, and carried up a pifehcrful. It was capital, and before many days we fuund the demi john empty. We knew Clay was liable to want it at any time, nnd it must be tilled. On the following night we took a servant who toted the big bottle on his head to a store-room two or two and a-half miles away, kept by a negro, where he had it filled with wh sky at fifteen cents a tyllon; which, with a quarter we gve the boy for helping us along, cost us a dollar. We bad hard work getting this demijohn back to the house it was not shaped right for easy carrying but at length it was safe in the cellar. We had previously made some wax about tho color of that which was on the stopper, and had carved a letter "I' out of a piece of bark. The bottle was duly sealed, stamped and deposited in its proper place. In 1841 the prostcts were that Mr. Clay might be President, aud ho thought so himself. IIo gave a grand diuner, among his guests being John J. Crittenden and Tom Corwin. Kvery one was in the best of spirits, nud after the ladies retired the merriment was even higher than before. We remained, never being excluded from lo . (rmnl dinners. As tho party were about rising, Clay said : 'Gentlemen, I have some of the finest wiue in the world, and the fW native American ever manufactured ; and thetc can be no nioro filling opportunity for testing its merits than tho present. John, do you know whereabouts in the cel lar that bottle of wino is, which was sent mo from Cincinnati ?' 'Yes, sir' replied t lie servant. 'Do you think, John, you can bring that demijohn, uuder your a, nnd not shako it up i" 'Yes sir.' 'Well-go.' In a few minutes John cau-e Lack with that big r.ve-:a'lon demijohn under his arm. "Now, John, set it down and take out tho cork." The cork came out pretty easy it had been out before. 'Now, John, ' lake thai demijohn in under your arm j r.gain, and lilt out a little in all the glasses.' I J hn again took the demijohn under his ' arm aud went around tilling all the Kinases. ; while we looked on iu woeful Hiteucr. 'Now i gcutlemcn,' continued Way, 'we will dtiuk I tins sunuiug, to the health or my friend Longworth of Cincinnati.' He raised the fcl.tss to his lips, stopped and gave a look about the table. We six were just going out of the door ; in singlu file, just as fast as out legs could carry us. We heard the word 'Boys I' in the lion-voice of Clay, but the remainder of the sentence was drowned in the shouts of laughter from his guests. Formerly a very large, well-known, and somewhat noted billy goat roamed at large in the streets of Washington, and the news paper boys, boot blacks, aud street imps generally made common cause against him. Clay never liked to see dumb animals abused or worried, and on one occasiou while passing down tho avenue a large crowd of theso mischievous urchins were al their usual sport. Mr. Clay with his walking-stick, drove them away, giving them a sound lect tre in tho meanwhile. As tney scampered nud scattered in every direction, Billy seeing no one but Mr. Clay within reach, made a charge on liim. Clay dropped his cano and caught his goatsliip by the horns. The goat would rear up, being nearly as high as the tall Kentuckiau himself, and the latter would pull him down ngain. This sort of sport becaino t iresome, and he could conceive of no way by which he could free himself from tho two-horned dilemma, so in his desperation he sang out to tho boys to know whnt to do. One of tho smallest iu tho crowd bhouted back ; Let go nnd run you d d fool !' Clay al ways maintained that though he signed the treaty of peace at Ghent, yet tiiat ragged boy knew more than he did. .Travelling iu Siberia. Lovers of good sleighing van be satisfied to the full in Siberia, aud have a ruuge of thousands of miles without fear of a thaw or of bare ground. But it is very cold, and one must wear thick clothing to keep warm. I frequently saw tho thermometer forty degrees below zero, and sometimes it gets below sixty. Every tiling that cau be frozen becomes solid. We carried some soup, frozen into cakes like small bricks, and we had a piece of roast beef that look ed and fell like red granite. The horses used to become white iu a short time no matter what their original color was ; the long hair round their nos trils usod to be covered with frost from their breath, and sometimes they resem bled the rows of spikes that farmers put around th noses of weaning calves. In the coldest morning there is generally a fog, or ftCRt-cloud resting near tho earth, from the freezing aud fulling of all the watery particles of the atmosphere. In the coldest nights tho stars are very brilli ant, aud tho brightest of them seem to burn like diamonds. For my winter journey I had a suit of clothing made from a pair ot blankets. On my foct I had my ordinary wooleu socks, men a pair of squirrel-skin socks, then some sheepskin Blockings that came up to my kne, nud then some boots of reindeer skin reaching as high up as -bools could possibly go. My leather boots I packed away in my sleigh, and had no use for Ihein while? wa traveling. Outside of my ordinary clothing I had a sheep-skiu coat, with the fur iuside, nr.i buttoued arouud me ; and outside of this I had a docr-skin coat that touched the ground when I stood erect, and was large enough iuside for a man and a boy. Iu collat as a foot wide, and, when turned up io front, r completely concealed my head.

Ku joy life while we may ; be happy, sjieak a kind and loving word to the downcast or nfflicted ; ever have a smile of encourage ment for the little one.

"Mirth Is the medicine of liTc, It cures its ills, It culms lu strife j Ii softly smooths the brow of eure, And writes a ihoitnd graces there." We can look out upon this lovely land scape and say I see no beauty in the works of nature.

As to what a parer shorn i publish or be seasoned with, readers dil'o! as much in opinion as they do in thesaucs and condiments they use at tueir meals, for what is keenly relished by ouo is rejected by another. One has a troublesome neigh bor who is his pet antipathy, and wheu the latter is guilty of some slip in his morals the former tsikes care the reporter shah hear it, and when he does not see it in the i ven ing issue, he throws it nside with a "Pooh ! there's nothing iu the pa;.er." AnutLar, who shirks paying bis taxes, takes no inte rest in the election nnd choice of try olli errs, throws the burden of his own inert ness un other men's shoulders, and then, if the mt'.uicipr.l machine does noiruu smooth ly ho wants the printer to regulate it,expceta him to write and publish leading articles upon the grievance and if he does not, 'there's nothiug in the paper." A case gets into the Mayor's court, the il. vils of which are humilfuliug to our comn.u i hu manity. If those details arc not tbi Incom ing in tho local column "there's noihiug worth rt-adiu there." But few readers have an idea of the strange and unreasonable requests made of the editor. He is asked to prim that which would involve him in litigation, possibly for the balance of his lite ; he is jHilitely re quested lo publish articles that would give grave offence to esteemed friends ; poetry that has neither sense, sentiment, nor rhyme ; essavs that have nonoiut : snuibs. carrying slinging personalities ; correspon dence kerning with inuendo, and religious cant savoring strouglyof blasphemy or hy. pocracy, and when these nrs not published according to order, "there's nothing in tho paper."
