DR. 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.

MY HICKORY FIRE.
Oh, helpless body of hickory tree,
What do I burn, In burning thee f
Summers or sun, winters of snow.
Spring full of snp's resistless flow t
All past year' Joys of garnered fruits t
All this year's purposed buds nnd snoots ;
Secrets of fields of upper air,
Secrets with stars ami planets share ;
Light or such smiles ns hrond skies fling ;
Sound of such tunes as wild winds sing ;
Voices which told where gay birds dwelt,
Voices which told where lovers knelt ;
Oh, st long white body of hickory tree,
How dare I burn all these lu thee I
But I too bring, ns to n pyre,
Sweet things to feed thy funeral flr ;
Memories waked by thy deep spell ;
Faces of rears and hopes which fell ;
Faces of darlings long since dead
Smiles that the) smiled, and words they eaidj
Like living shapes they come and go,
But sncreilest of nil, O, tree,
Thou hast the hour my love cave mo.
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 !
But (lion, brave tree, how d. ! know
That tlirouuh these fires thou dost not go
As hi old days the inuityis went
Through lire which was n sacrament ?
How do I know thou dost not wait
In longing for thy ucxt estate I
Estntu of highcr,"nnbler place,
Vvhose shapes uo man enn use or trace.
How do I know, If I could reach
The secret meaning of thy speech.
But I thy song of praise should hear.
Ringing triumphant, lou 1 nnd clear,
The w.iitlnir nugcls could discern,
And token of thy heaven learn I
Oh. Kind, freed soul of hickory tree,
Wherever thine eternity,
Bear thou with theu that hour's dear name,
Made pure, like iliec, by rites of IPiuie !

"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. He was absolutely
iM-nnilesa, aud had been so for three days.
There whs nothing that he wus likely to

"I cannot see uiy wife aud children starve."

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

have a blight tire aud a coiuloriuhlo meal,

"llow did it happeu ? Tell me, Robert."
So Robert told Ins wife, aud soon a bl ight

Onrt of the most honest, able and incor
ruptible Senators in Congress is Henry
Wilson, of Massachusetts. 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.

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.
