IOUNG MEN especially, who have become the victims of Soli tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands of young men of the most exalted talents nnd brilliant Intellect, who might other wise have entranced listening Senates with the thunders of eloquence or wnked to ecstacy the living lyre, may cull with full confidence. MARRIAGE. Married Persons or Young Men contemplating marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Lohs of Procrcative Power Impotency), Nervous Ex citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner vous Debility, or nuy other Disqualification, speedily relieved. He who places himself nnder the care of Dr. J. may religiously confide in his honor as a gentle man, and confidently rely uxon his skill as a Pbv siclnn. ORGANIC WEAKNESS, Impotency, Lojs of Power, immediately Cured and full Vigor Restored. This Distressing Affection which renders Life miserable and marriage impossible is the penalty paid by the victims of improper indulgences. Young persons aro too apt to commit excesses from not being aware of the dreadful conseqcnccs Unit may ensue. Now, who that understands the subject will pretend to deny that the power of procreation is lost sooner by those falling Into Improper habits than by the prudent ? Besides being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring, the most serious and destructive symptoms to both body and inind arise. The system becomes de ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions Weakened, Loss of Procrcative Power, Nervous Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart, Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and Death.

VOUSO MEN Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac tice indulged in when nloue, a habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at school, the effects of which nre nightly felt, even when asleep, aud if not cured, renders marriuge impos sible, aud destroys both mum ana ooay, suouiu apply immediately. mil a pity that a young man, tne uopeoi ins country, the durliug of his parents, should tic snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the couscquvuee of deviating from the pulli of nature and indulging in a certain Bccrct habit. Such persons mist, lie lore coutcmplaling MAItltlAGE, reflect that a sound mind and body nre the most necessary requisites to promote connuklal happi ness, luilced without lliese, the journey mrougu life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; tliu prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly reflection, that the huppiucss of another becomes blighted with ournwn. A CEHTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided nnd imprudent votary of pleasure finds that ho has imbibed the'seejsof this pulnrut uiscasc, it too olicu nnpcus mat au ill-timed sense of shame, or dread ol discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education and reapeetubility, can alone befriend bun, delnying till the constitutional symptoms ol this horrid disease make their apticurance, such us ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoctural pains iu tho head and Uiulis, dimness of sight, dullness, uodes ou the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pnt- grcssing with frightful rapidity, till at last tlie palate of the mouth or the bom s or tne nose lull In, and the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of coinmiserutiou, till death puts a period to his dreaUlul suueriug, ny seuuuig him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence no traveller retums. It is a meluucholy fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through fulling into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful rltr. TENDEKS, who, by the use of thut deadly l'oi son. Mercury.

Oh I there's a power to make each hour As sweet as Heaven designed it , Nor need we roam to bring It home, Though few there be that find it. We seek too high fur things close by, And lose what nature found us; For life hath here no friends so dear As home aud friends around us. We oft destroy the present Joy For future hopes nnd praise them, Whllb (lowers as sweet bloom at our feet, If we'd but stoop to raise them For things afar still sweeter arc, When youth's bright spell hath bound us But soon wu're taught the earth hath naught Like borne and friends around us. The friends that speed in the time of need, When hope's last reed is shaken, Do show us still that, come what will, We are nlit quite forsaken. Though nil were night, if but the light From friendship's alter crowned us, 'Twould prove the bHss of earth was this : Our home and friends around us. Robert Maxwell's Temptation. Hubert Maxwell let down the bars for the tired oxen, with which lm lirtd bucn ploughing all tiny, to go through them, nnd seek on the cool hillsiilce, tboi.-.-!-' -, j iiiolr nenuH nnd look ed at him with their great mournful eyes, us if exacting a. word, for they were used to his voice, the, alow, patient creatures, aud liked it, as such dumb brutes nhvnya Oo, the voice of a kind master. But to uight he had no voice tor any of them. He put up the bnrs nfler they had gone through and leaned heavily against them. A May sunset was Hashing earth and tky ; the new springing grass was fresh and green ; a light feathery leafage was ou all the trees, and a few of them, pear and cherry trees had put on white blossoms. Tho western sky was piled high wilh crimson clouds, with close to the horizon a bar of gold. A relleeted brightness Hushed the oust with a roseate hue, wlm.li spread up the zenity. All was still as the birth of a new world. A sense of wonderful beauty nnd mystery thrilled through Hobert Maxwell's uueduealed per ceptions. He had no words for such a scuiie, no clearly deflucd. thoughts about it even ; but it moistened his eyes nnd quick ened his pulses, and seemed tlood his life wttn a rusli ol dreams uud longings. How beautiful the world was. There were some men he heard who had painted such scenes others who wrote poetry about them others who set them to music, like tin' song of birdb, or tliu soft plash of waves ; what was ins part ol all tins f ploughing: to-day, planting to-morrow I was that all life held or him r there must bo other use, some other incaniug, if ho could only grasp it. It ho had no part oiot in all t"'? ixuuty, why did it niovu lnui so V Just then he heard the sound of horses' feet, aud looked iu tho distance whence it came. Maud Dul'ays was sweeping down tho hill with a gay gallant beside her. How like a part of the sunset beauty she looked, with its rose upon her cheek, its radiance iu her eyes aud hair, ho long blue habit fallen low, and swinging to tho motion of her milk-whito pony, tho white plume streaming back ou tho wind, her little hands, with the dainty gauntlets on them so much youth, and grace and beauty. And tho "city chap," as Unbelt Maxwell called him, by her sido, did not mar tho picture. A handsome, cavalierish looking iiiau, there was no denying that he showed well beside Maud ; but what was he here to much for V They swept by ; Maud's low, silvery laugh, thinking tt response to something her companion was saying ;aud a little cloud, which tho hoofs of the horses beat up behind them, filled Robert's eyes, aud choked his throat, and added bitter ness to his mood. He glanced doivu to his hard, horny hands, his coarse, toil-slaiucd clothes. How well ho would look at Maud Dul'ays' sido t And yet he had loved her iu a vague sort of a way, whose meaning he had just begun to tin d out, ever since he could remember. Life would uot have such savor, ho thought, without her. Aud yet, she would be untitled for a farmer's wife, and that was just what ho was a farmer. Then the question which haunted him before could ho lie nothing else 't Did Ho doom him Y Did God ask hun always to go iu and out these old ways, plow and plant, aud make hay, and reup grain, iu summer, and go back aud forth between the homestead aud the wood lot, all winter V Some one could bo found to do ns well for them, and ho he believed he had enough in him to go away and make a career which Maud would not scorn to share. ' Tho crimson had died out of the west, the rose hue out of the east. A low wiud had arisen, aud blew mournfully and slow ly across the' tields. Hobert Maxwell's mood changed with the face of the night. The exaltation forsook him, and something hard, stern, sullen it seemed to his gener ous, hearty nature, entered in and took possession of him. He weut home slowly, with heavy footsteps. i lireu, uouuier' ins luuiiieraum tiieeruy, I .he came into the kitchen. said thouVbrjA? word' wid him the had had never struck IHUWh ,'. 4 t hey now. Hobbie I li she wMlat ber that he was twenty-two years' Juciu 'Yes. I'm tired. ho answered doggeu. . 'Well, draw riiht up to the table : I've got a slice cup of tea already tor ye ; that'll rtst ys, aud brighten ye up s little.' Hubert Maxwell Hung down hia hat lm- patieutly. 'Tea 1' W bat notions or lifts women had. He looked at his mother as he had never looked at her before. Mother,' said he, with a bitterness ho hated himself for years afterward. 'I won de"t If you sver had a troubls that a good cup of tea wouldn't cure? Things don't go any deeper than that with some folks.' Ilis mother's eyes clouded, but she ans wered him very gently. She felt Hint to night, for some reason, ho was not responsi ble for himself. 'I have had troublo that went deep enough, Hobert ; six children that havo played around my knees, sleep yonder, be hind the old meeting house, and to bear and nurse, nnd then to lose there's none knows what thnt is but just them that's borne it, nud God thnt mado mothers with mother's hearts. I've had troubles thnt crenturc comforts wouldn't help much ; nnd yet I don'tdespisc this world's good thingl. Vou hnvn't any craves when you feel ns if your heart was shut In nnd smothered, and for being tired nnd moping I do think there's virttto in njjood cup of tea.' Her patience nnd gentleness touched him. lie drew up his chair to tho table, where his father was sitting, nnd answered her in a softer tone. 'I 'spose you're right, mother, but I'm not just myself, to-night.' Then he nto his siijipcr in silence, nnd nfter it was over, sat for a few moments, thinking silentjy. At last ho took courage, nnd opt'ued the subject of which his mind was full.' 'Father, Henry Hohbins is wanting a place. Don't you think, with you to over seer him, he could do the work ou the farm this summer t' Mrs. Muxwcll did not speak, but the saucer she was wiping fell to the floor with a sharp crush. For a full minute it was tho only sound which broke the stillness. At last the old man answered. 'I don't know, Hobert maybe ho could. I never liked to have any strangers, work ing on tho old place hi liiy time. 1 did it nil myself 'till you were old enough to help mc, nnd everything has prospered under your hand, Hobert. Still, maybe Henry Hobbins could, tnaybo he could. Did you think of leaving, Hobert ' 'I don't feel satisfied, father, to bo a far mer this small way. 1 want to do some thing more with my life. You could hire a man to do all for twenty dollnrsa month, and I wnnt to see what I am worth some where else.' Then Ihcre 0m another long silence. Tho mother finished washing up her dish es, nnd came nud sat down between her son nnd husbnnd I her face very while nnd her hands shaking a little. After awhile the old man renched .- "" trembling hands iu his own. . .hush t blame Hobert, mother,' he said, ti)Higto sjieak cheerfully. 'What he leels isu't unnatural. Oilier youug men say tho same. Only it's como sudden. Dou'j think we blame you, Hobbie. It's all fair and right only sudden.' Hobert got up and went up stairs, lit uuiiiaa )xtir. ..icucc, Ills Hiiixi's attempts at cheerfulness seemed more than ho could bear, llo weut away to his own room, and sat down by the window. Over across tho meadows a light was burning. Ho knew it was the lamp in Maud Du rays' parlor. Was she worth all this that he was making tlit'sc two old people sutler 'i Was ho sure she would ever lovo him as they did 'i Was he sure thnt she would love him at all. And in this untried life, this great world where so many iailed, how did ho know that he would succeed ? What was he going to do? How vague all his purposes wete just a dream, boru of a soft spring night, and Maud Du l'uys' fair face. And for it ho was going to overturn the whole fabric of his lite. Xd, ho would not bo so mad. . This summer, at least, should go ou ns hn foie. He would take lime to consider. 15y Aaiumti ho should know better what he could do, and whether ho could bear to leave that old father and mother so many ol whose treasures the churchyard iiTrfailj held, and whoso nil he was. llw began to j think that this very fact, that ho was their I all, laid on him an obligation not to be avoided ', that no success purchased at sel- lish expenditure, would bu worth having, i At nny rate, he would wait. Aud so sleep : came to him, and the morning brought him peace and calmness, nnd seemed to give ! him back his old self ngain. 'Will you sec Henry Hobbins to-day,' his father asked at breakfast, wilh au anxiety he strove to conceal. '.Not to-day, uot at present. Mv plan was sudden, as you said, too sudden to be wise. 1 have given it up for a time, nt least ; 1 will carry ou the place a while louger.' The old man's face cleared, but ho did not siR'ak. only Hubert Maxwell's mother got up and silently kissed him. Xo young lips could have been more foud could any bu more dear 'i Two months nfter that news came to him of Maud Pays' betrothal to her cousin tho city-bred young man whont ho had Recti riding beside her in tho May twilight. This was au uuexeeted blow something which, knowing the man was her cousin, ho had never feared. Tho news sank deep iuto his heart wilh a dull, dumb puiu. She never would havo cared for him, then never had. It was well ho had never gone away aud left those two who did lovo him to mourn. After all, perhaps the existence of plowing nnd planting was all he was good for. Futo had placed him rightly guaged his capacities better than he could have done hinisulf. So he settled hack into his old grooves with a grim resignation which was uot yet content. Slill ho felt himself at odds with the lite which did not oiler him what ho wanted. When Autumn came and it was time for him, if at all, to make tho changes ho hnd planned in tho spring, he was surprised to feel that the in clination to ninku it was gone. Some heal ing mystery, call it of nature or of grace, God knows, had been at work in his soul, and uncouseiously to himself through tho long summer days, aud swill short summer nights, ho had been learning tho sweetness of duty. Dure and simple duty done for its own sake, llo had begun to ask himself not what he wished to Uo, but what lie ought to do, aud he felt that in tho very fact of his being to those two who loved him as their all on earth, God had called him to certain duties, on which he would never agaiu feel tempted to turn his back. Hecoucilod at lust to the appoint ment of Heaveu, be was at peace also with his own soul, aud a new light camo Into his eyes, a new vigor and maulincss Into his life. Ho could think of Maud Du l'uys in these days without pain. There would al wajs be a tenderness in his heart for her the tenderness a good man feels for tho ouco beloved, but whether she was his or auo ther's, he could reckon her loss or gaiu emoug the 'all things he was contented to .,r,4si.Lh, heaven.'

Ho was honestly touch ed ut the thought of Maud's sorrow. Toor girl. If there was only something ho cimld do. something to aid and comfort licr. Ho took his lint nnd went out with somo vnguo purpoBO of ollering his help, which tho fall wind shattered ns it blew neross his brow. Of course there was nothing h could do he could not even speak to her on the net. Her grief would bo sacred and hnd he not been used this many n month to the idea that he was nothing to her any more. Still ho went on, in a purposeless sort of way towards tier liouse ; went ou, until ho saw a slcuder llgare com in as to moot him, under tho leafless maple boughs, over the dead and rustling leaves whieh lay thick upon the wood path. He had ment to pnsn with just a 'good evening,' but when she put nut her hand to him. nnd he looked into her fair face, tho words came before he knew it to his lips. 'I saw it all in tho papers, Maud, nnd I am sorry.' 'Yes,' she said, gently ; 'It will ruin him, I nui afraid.' 'And you ? I thought the most of you. You were to have been married so soon.' 'Not to him,' she said, hurriedly, 'never to him. That was done with two months ago. I had never loved him. It was vani ty which made mc consent to marry him. He was handsome and gallant, nnd lie pro mised mc nil the things of this life, lint 1 found nfler a while, that none of them would pay mo for myself, alul I told him the truth.' Something in her hurried, earnest tones, of the swift color that stained her cheeks, or her shy, half-veiled eyes, or all together, gavo Hobert Maxwell courage, and lie said, holding her hand sltll : 'It was because I had none of the good things of this lifu to promise you, Maud. that I dared not tell you how dearly I loy.'' you and uhvava .iwA:' , " l:.

It 19 generally supposed that the Indian is an i exceedingly cunning being, unrivaled in the peculiar knowledge of tho woods. This Is something of a mistake. The Indian I has the quick perception and the natural Sagacity of one who lives in the woods ; but it never surpnsscu, u it equaieii iiiu acquir ed knowledge and perception of tho pioneer hunter. On one occasion, iu a sort of block-house, an old hunter of the pioueerd I was standing in tt door, when the cry of a wild turkey was heard ut some dislance. A youth stood by tho hunter, able to hear a i'ille, who, with youthful impetuosity, exclaimed : "There's n turkey I'll go and kill it." The hunter listened it moment, suspi ciously, and said : ".No, you are not a good shot. I'll go and give you the turkey." Tlie youth demurred', Lut was at length persuaded. Tho hunter crept out hi tho opposito di rection from the cry. Slyly he made his way through the bushes, nnd at length camo behind tho spot where the cries of tho turkey were heard ; nnd, concealed by the low bushes nud brush, camo up tho ravine. There, before him, in tho limbs of a tree, was tt laro Indian, who was imi tating the cries of a wikl turkey to decoy some one from the block-house. The hun ter shot him and took his scnlp.
