JOHNSTON. Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduated from one of the most eminent Colleges lu the United States, and the greater part of whose Ife has been spent in the hospitals of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has effected some of the most astonishing cures '.hat wore ever k.iown ; ninny troubled with ring ing lu the head aud cars when uslecp, great nervousness, being alarmed at suddeu eonnd, b.islil'ulnees, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have iiijurrd themselves by improper indulgence and solitary habits, which rum both body ami mind, iintiuiiit; them fjr either hiifciueis, Etudy, society or mar riage. Tiiksc i;re so::ic of the sad and melancholy effects produced early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of the Back and Limbs. Puius iu the Bui-kHiid Head, Diiunesii of bight, Loss of Mus cular Power, PalpUulion of the iieurt, Dyspjpsy, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Die. olive Fuuclions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con sumption, tie. Mi.mali.t-The fearful effects on the mind arc much to he dreaded Loss of Memory, Con fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Avcrsiou to Society, tSuif-Diitrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c.,'arc some of I lie n ils produced. Thousands of persons of nil oircs can now judirc what is the cause of their declining henltii, losing their vigor, becoming, wchk, pale, nervous uud emaciated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, couhuiid symptoms of consump tion. YOUNG MFN Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac tice Indulged in when alone, a habit frequently le.irued from evil compaiiious, or at school, the tllects of which lire uightly felt, even when asleep, and if nut cured, rcuders marriugu impos sible, and destroys both mind uud body, should apply immediately. What a pijy that a young muu, the hopeof his country, the darling of his parents, should be snatched from nil prospects nnd enjoyments of life, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature aud indulging in a certain secret habit. Such persons mi st, before voulemplutlug MARRIAGE, reflect that n sound uiiud uud body are the most necessary requisites to promote couuullal happi ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage; the proeet hourly darkens to the view; the mind Lecoiues shadowed with despair ami filled with the melan choly rutlectiou, that the happing j of another becomes Uiuhlel with our own. a CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided aud imprudent votary of pleasure nnd tlu t he bus Imbibed the seed's of this painful disease, il too olleu happens that an Ill-limed ense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters hint from upplyiug to those who, from education and re-peciahiiity, eau alone befriend him, delaying till the constit iitiomtl symptoms of this horrid disease make their appcarauce, such ns ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoclural pains iu U: head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes ou the shin bones uud alius, blotches on i lie bead, lure and extremities, pi grcssing with frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the m null or the bones of the nose fall in, and Hie victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to liis dreadful sufleriug, by suuding him to " that Undiscovered Country from v, heuce no traveller returns." It Is n melancholy fact thut thousands DIE victims to tliis terrible disease, through tailing into the hands of lguoruut or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by tho use of that deadly Pol sou, Mercury, .Vc, destroy the constitution, uud incapablo of curing", keep the unhappy sufferer laonlh nfior mouth taking their noxious or in jurious compounds, and instead of being restored to a renewal of Lite Vigor nnd lltippluesn, in des, pair leave him uitli ruined Health to sigh over his gulling disappointment. To such, therefore, Dr. Johmsto pledges him self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and from bis extensive practice uud observations iu the great Hospitals of fcuropo, und the Urol in this country, viz: England, France, Philadelphia aud elsewhere, is enabled to oiler the most cer tain, speedy and elfaclual remedy iu the world for all disea.es of imprudence.

Only thy rhythmic silence stirred While his low-whispered tones I heard ; By thy lust gleam of flickering liirht saw his check turn red from white ; O cold gu y ashes, side by side AVIth yours, that hour's sweet pulses died !

THi: HARK NIGHT. ''I can't stitinl it any longer, Juno, I'll go out, nnd p-erliups something will turu up for us." "Its a colli niglit, Robert.' "Cold, yen 1 ilut it's not much colder outside tliiin in. It would bnvu been bet ter if you hud married John Treinain," he : ill bitterly. "Don't say that, Robert ; I've never re gretted my choice." "Not even now, when tliero is not a lonf of bread iu tho house for you uud tho chil dren V"' "Not even now, Robert. Don't be dis couraged. Gud hti9 not forsaken us. Per haps this evening ihu tide will turn, and better days may dawn upon us to-morrow." Robert lirice shook his head desponding- "You nre more ho;.cful than I, Jane. D.iy after day I have been in search of employment ; I have called nl fifty places, only to receive tho mime answer every where." Just then Utile Jimmy, Uo had been ns leep, woke up. "Mother." he pleaded, "won't you give me it piece of bread 'f I am so hungry." "There is no bread, Jimmy, darling," s:tid the mother with an aching heart. "iVheu will there be some V" asked the child, pileously. Tears came to the mother's eyes. .Shu knew not what to say. "Jimmy, I'll bring you some bread," s:tid the lather hoarsely and he seized hid hat aud went to the door. llis wife, alarmed, laid her hand upon his sleeve. She Baw the look in his eyes, and she feared to what step of desperation might lead him. 'Remember, Robert," she said, solemn ly, "it is hard to starve, but there arc things Hint are worse." lie shook off her hand, but not roughly, und without a word passed out. Out in the cold streets ! They would be his only home next, he thought. For a brief limo longer he had the shelter nt a cheerless room iu a cold tenement house, but the rent would liecome duo at the end of ihu month, aud he had nothing to meet it. Roliert Brice was n mechanic, competent and skillfull. Three years since he lived iu n country village whero his excuses were moderate, and he found no dillieulty in meeting them. Bui iu an evil hour he grew tired of bis village home, and ho removed to Ihu city. Hero he vainly hoped to do better. l"or a while ho met with very good success, but hu found the icucmclil house in which he was obliged to live, a poor sub stitute for the t.eat little cottage which he had occupied in the country. He saw his mistake but was too proud to go back. "Of course I cau't bavu as good accom modations here ns in tho country," he said, "but it is something to live iu and to be iu the midst of things." "I'd rather bo back again," said his wife. ".Somehow the city docsu't seem like home. There I used to run ill uud take tea with a neighbor, and have a plea sant time, litre, I kuow scarcely anybo dy." "You'll get used to it after a while," said her husband. Sim did not think so, but she did uut complain. But a time of great depression came nnd with it a suspension ot business enterprises. Work ceaised for Robert Brice aud mauy others. If he bad been iu his old home, he could have turuud his hands to someibin else, nud nt the worst could have boi rowed of his uuighbors till better times. But the friendly relations arising from neighbor hood do not exist to the same extent in the city ns iu the country. 8o day by day he aw his scanty sum of money waste away uud no one extended a hand. Day by day he went out to seek work, ouly to litid him self one of a large number, all of whom were doomed to disappointment. If he had been alone he could have got along some how, but it was a sore trial to come to a cheerless room and n pule wife nnd hungry children with no relief to nflbr them. When ou that evening Robert Brico went into the streets, he hardly knew how he was coin!; to redeem the promiso ho had made to little Jimmy.

"I cannot see uiy wife aud children starve." Il was a well-worn overcoat, aud thut cold winter night lie Deeded something more to keep hiiu warm. Weakened by enforced fiuling lie was more sensitive to the cold, aud shivered as he walked aiouy the pavejueuL "lea." he said, "my coat must ge, I know not how 1 hall get along without it, but I can't see my children starve before pty yeav" lie w s not In general nn envious man, but when he saw sleek, well fed citizens, buttoned up to the throat in worm over coats, come out of tho brilliantly lighted shops, provided with luxuries for happy children nt home, while his was stnrvinc, he suflered some bitter thoughts upon the Inequality of Fortune's gifts to come to his mind. Why should they be so luippy and lio so miserable ? There was one nmn, shortor thnu him self, wnrmly clad, who passed him with his hnnds thiust deep into the pockets of his overcoat. Thero was n pleasant smile up on his face. He wns doubtless thinking of the hnppy circle nl home. Robert knew him ns a rich merchant, whowi ample warehouse he often passed. He hud applied to this man only two days before for employment, nnd been refuse'd. It was perhaps, the thought of the wide difference between them, so fur ns outward circumstances went, that led Robert Bricc to follow him. After n while the merchnnt Mr. Grimes drew his b indkerchief slowly from his pock et. As he did so, he did not perceive that his pocket-book ramo with it aud tell to tho sidewalk. He did not perceive it, but Roliert did. His lion t l leaped into his mouth, nnd a sud den thought entered his mind. He bent quickly down nnd picked up the pocket book. He raised his eyes hastily to see if the movement was noticed. It was not. The merchant went ou unheeding his loss. "This will buy bread for my wife and children," thought Robert instnutly. A vision of the comfort which the money would bring that cheerless room, lighted up liis heart for nn instant, but then, for he wns not dishonest, then; catno another thought. The money was not his, much ns be wnnted it. "But. I cannot see my wife nnd children starve," he thought ngain. "If it is wrong to keep this money liotl will pardon the of fence. He will understand my motive." All this wus sophistry, and he knew it. In a moment he felt it to be so. Thero were some things woisu tlmn starvation. It wns his wife that had said just before he came out. Could he meet her gaze w lieu he returned with fo 'd so obtained v "I've lived honest so far," he thought--"I won't turn thief now." It was with nn effort. Hint became to this decision, for all the while before his eyes there was thet vision of a cheerless home, and he could henr Jimmy ninly asking for food. It wns with nn ellott that he stepped forward and placed his hand on the mer chant's shoulder, nnd estended the hand that held the pocket book. ".Sir," he said hoarsely, "you have drop ped vour pocket book." "Thank you," said the merchant, turn ing round, "I hadn't peceived my loss." "You dropped it when you took out your handkerchief." "And you saw it, nnd picked it up. 1 am very much obliged to you." "You have reason to be," said Robert iu n low voice. "I calne very nenr keeping it." "That would have been dishonest," said Mr. ("rimes, his tone altering slightly. "Yes, it would, but its hard in a nmn to be honest when he is penniless, and his wife aud children without a crust." "Surely you nnd your family are not in that condition ?" said the merchant earn estly. " Yes," said Robert, it. is only too true.'" "And you are out of work V" "For two months I have vainly souzht li.r work. I applied to you two days since." "I renieiii'.HT you now. I thought I had seen your face before. You still want work V "I should feel grateful for it." "A porter left me yeslerJay. Will you take his place at f? 12 a week " "Thankfully, sir. 1 would work for half that." "Then come to-morrow morning, or ra ther, as tomorrow will bu a holiday, the day succeeding. Menu lime Dike this for your present necessities.' He drew from his pocket book a bank note nnd put it in Robert's hand. "It's SoU," said Robert, amazed. "I know it. This pocket book contains 1,(UU. But foryou I should have lost the whole." "tiod bless you sir ; yood uight!" said Robert. "Good night !" Jane wailed for her husband in the cold nud cheerless room, which for a few days longer she might call her home. "Do you think father will bring me some bread V" asked little Jimmy, as he nestled iu her lap. "1 hoie so darling," she said, but her lien i' t niis'ave her. bhu feared it was u de lusive hope. An hour passed thero was a step on the slnir her husband's. It could not be, for this was a cheerful, elast'c step, coming up two stairs at a time. She looked eagerly at the door. Yes, it was he. The door opened. Ro bert, radiaut with joy, entered with a bas ket full of substantial provisions. "Have you got some, bread, father?" asked Jimmy, liopelully. "Yes, Jimmy some bread and meat from a restaunint, uud here's a hllle tea and su gar. There's a Utile wood left, J.iuu.

Ho entered jiuhlic life poor, nnd remains poor to-day, having no Income but the salary he receives ns Senutor, while others w ho entered poor have grown immensely rich. When Andy Johnson commenced canvassing the United States Senate for tho purpose of ascertain ing whom he could corrupt to vote against impeachment, some one suggested the name of Senator Wilson ns one, because he wns poor ; but it wns immediately met with this prompt reply by sonic one who knew him : "He is poor, hut no one would dare to approach him with such a proposition." He is truly u reprcseululivo of the labor of the country. He commenced life by learn ing the trade of n shoemaker, and worked at Ins business in Antiek, Mass., nnd by perse vcrnncn has risen to be nn ornament 111 the Senate of the United Slates. Ho hn never deserted the cause of lnbor. nnd hns always ndvocjitcd mensures calculated to advance il s interests. He was approach ed also by some of the leaders of the pro fessed Labor Reformers to unite with them ns a workingnmn ; but he promptly told them that he sympathized with the work ing classes, nnd he was always ready to advance their interests ; but he could only benefit their cause by adhering to the Re publican party, because it really favored the interests of the laboring classes to a greater extent than any other party ever did before; nnd to withdraw from it now, and divide nnd distract it for the purpose of building up a new party, must result in placing iu power, not only the Democracy, but lite Free Trade pnrly. which was the greatest enemy of labor in this country, under the guise of proftssing to be friendly to the cause of labor. We have made these preliminary re marks to iulrodiico the following extract from n speech delivered by Senator Wilson to the people of Great Falls, New Hamp shire, where tho grcnt mass nro working men : There Ims U-en collected, under Gen. ('rant's Administration, in three years, nearly Sl,2(.)i),i 00,011'J nearly S4UO,UUO.OUO a year ; there hns been paid out nearly SI, OOtUM)0,000. making about 52,100,000,000. We have lost, out f this immense sum, in all the Departments of the Government, l,'2.")0,000-less than a fifteenth part of one per cent 1 J.ouk at the 1'ost Ollice Depart ment. With 4.),000 postmasters, clerks and mail-carriers, tho loss has been less thnn one-tenth of one per cent, in these three year. In no part of the world has such integrity been shown, under like cir cumstances. We have paid out during these three years, SW,000,000 in pensions, and we hnvo had live defalcations, all of them soldiers, nnd four of them shed their blood for the country. But the Govern ment has not lost a dollar, for the ngents made cood their accounts, or their bonds men did it for them. This Administration came into power with the pledge to maintain the faith and honor of the country then wickedly assail ed. During these fast thirtv-rivH months there has been paid Jr'2S7,000,UOO, saving noHrly :?18,0 (0.000 11 year in interest. This money has leen mostly saved 011 the one baud bv an honest collection of the revenues-for wo collected the first fifteen months of General Grant's administration -'.17,01)0,000 more than was collected under the same laws in the last fifteen mouths of Johnson's administration nud on the other hand, by the reduction of the expen ses of the Government. From these two sources we have paid this S287,00O,0OO. Throughout the financial world it is a mat ter of wonder nnd nttmzcment that the fi nancial policy of the United Stn'es should be so successful. We elected Gen. Grant, pledged to maintain the faith of the nation, to ninke our debt sncred, and what is the result '( Why the seven hundred millions of currency is worth to-dty a hundred and forty millions of currency is worth to-day a hundred and forty millions of dollars, twenty per cent, more than it was three years ago. The laboring man who bus earned two dollars, to-day, has received forty cents in real gold value more than ho would have received three years ago this day. Thero Ims been added twenty per cent, to every dollar the laboring men of this country hnvo earned, and il has been added because of the signal fidelity and ability wiih which that pledge has been kept, to maintain the faith if the nation, honestly collect the revenues, reduce ex penses itnd extinguish tho national debt ns last ns he could. To hear these men talk yon would sup pose General Grant was vastly inferior to such great maL'tiiliivnt statesmen, us Folk, Fierce and Buchanan. Who is General Grant this-man so denounced V When the war opened he wus earning a few hun dred dollars a year tanning leather out in Galena, lie ollered his sendees to the na tion, and they were not accepted. He then went down to Springfield aud served there sotne -reeks, helping toei.gngcand organize the regiments they were raising in Illinois. Finally they gave b'un n regiment. He had not umney enough to buy a sword with which to light the bailies of bis country nor a horse t ride. You did not know anything about him ; few had heard of him. He had served in the Mexican war, when n young man, fresh from West l'oint, and won two brevets for gallant conduct, but nobody knew anything of this humble man. He took his regiment nnd marched away. He never asked anything of the Govern ment; ho never disobeyed an order; he never made a complaint. He went straight forward nnd did his duty, n quiet, silenl, modest man. About the first thing we heard of him whs that he took about twenty-livo thousand men up the Tennessee River, moved on the enemy' work, nt lacked an nrmy of twenty thousand rcbles and cupiured fifteen thousand of them. Yu next heard of him coming on the field of SJiiloh,' when it was nearly lt, and when they asked if he had prepared for a retrent, he said that one boat would take all that ret rented. lie defeated tho rebel army that had been nearly victorious. Then he went down the Mississippi river, passed Vicksburg,' made a movement into the country, attacked the rebel armies, captur ed V'icksburg, and then you find him at Chuttauooga, to save a lost battle, and you have heard of the magnificent victory he won at Mission Ridge and at Jkout Mountain. He wa then brought to Wash ington, and took romnutnd of the armies of the country, led the Army of the l'oloiunc through the Wilderness, Ik'hting every day in the month ot May, 18o4, put hi array before Richmond, and when the hour came, moved on the doomed city and received the itrrender of the ilMd army at Appomsmy.

(.For tub Amekica. Arc IVe becoming a Corrupt Xaiion. During a discussion on the frauds and corruptions in the managcuieul of our po litical nnd municipal ntl'airs, I wa re pi.a;-!:,:d for saying that the morals of the hody of the Amc-riean people were at a pretty low stage. This whs considered by a geuile mab nn insult to the nation, aud it may ap pear so to many well meaning persona at tho first glance ; but when we relied that the people, seeing men going to the Legisla ture poor, und on a s -lary of !? 1000 return ing home rich in a few "years, elect these same men again, nobody can help seeiug that there is some truth iu it. 1 for my pin t, think there is no surer sign of the low standard of morals than this apathy of the people in regard to strict principles of ho nesty. That such apathy iu some degree, exists, even among the best and most honest of our citizens, is evident from tho slowness and unwillingness with which abuses are corrected, and tho odvnder brought to justice, whenever and wherever they are found, on the vague presumption that such exposures could hurt tho par ty. A trul) honest, man must be will ing lo sacrifice party and position for the sikeor principle. Iu what a melanc'ioly stale of moral weakuess must a party ap pear in the eyes of the world, which through lea r of injury must sanction dishonesty by refusing, lo punish its dishonest members. Even when iv man exposes fraud, ninety nine out ot one hundred cry out, "that man. does it only for a Bullish purpose." Truly, it shows a moral degnidatiou to see noth ing but ut) unworthy motive for auy good net ion. Not to mention hundreds of newspaper which still apologize for some of which even uppiove of that most abominable iu stitution "slavery," find p.;nly npplaud the lawlessness und inurdersof the Ku-kux-klan. There are a civut number of paper which have but 11 very imperfect idea of right nnd wrong. Kveti the N. Y. Times, one of the leading organs of thut party which has ever prided ilself as beiug the promoter of honest government, dares open ly say, in substance, that it could not see the use of making such n fuss nbout a few thousand dollars, which went iti to, the pockets of the clerk of the Leg'slalurc. If any paper in any other civilized coun try should express such it sentiment, that paper would have signed its own death warrant. Why, said a geiiilcuian is it not a proof of our superior iiutionaltiy, tluil we send more missionaries lo the heathen than auy oilier nation in the world V Whether this is a proof of superior morality might bo considered ii'K-stionable. To say the best as regards honesty, our morals might bo improvtd by 11 few- missionaries from the so-called heathen countries; for the teach ings of Budhii, nnd some other religious teachers of the Fast show, that their iiVas of morality are in no way inferior to those of Christianity. The following quotation from Btnlha will show this : "Thou shalt not steal." "Thou shall not become intoxicate!." "A mail who foolishly docs me wroug, I will return to him the protection of my un grudging love. The more evil comes from him, "the more good shill go from me ; the fragrance of the good notion alwny re turning to me, the harm of tho slanderous, words always returning to him." WA man iu tho practice of ruligionr, who exercises charity from a feeling of necessa ry observation, or from a feeling of par tiality, does not obtain much merit." "Do not btlievo in tradition because they have brn handed down (or many ge-. ueiations and in many places." "Do not bclicvo iu the trutb of that to which you have become attached by habit, a every nation believe in, it own iupc-ijs riiy of it, owa d.cs, aaid Otuauieuis aoii language." "Da not believe merely because you have heard ; but when of your own conscious ness you know a thin to be evil, Abstain from U." . "The holy man must not be covetous, or foolish, or revengeful. . He must desire for all living thing the tame bt-ppioes be de sir for hlnilf" P.
