Physician of this celebrated Institution, has
discovered tho most certain, specdv, plcnBnnt and
effectual remedy In the world for all
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness of tho Back or Limbs, Strictures,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, Involun
tary Discharges, Impotcncy, General Debiii
'.y, Nervousness, Dyspepsy, I.nnguor, Low
Spirits, Confusion of Ideas, Palpitation of
the Heart, Timidity, Trcmblinirs, Dimness
of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of tho Head,
Throat, Nose or Skin, Allectionsof Liver. Luntis,
Stomach or Bowels these terrible Disorders
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practices more fatal to their
Victims than the song of Syrens to the .Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marrlago, Ac, Impos
sible. lOUNG MEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful nnd destructive habit
which annually sweeps to nn untimely grave
thousands of yonmr men of the most exalted
talents nnd brilliant intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with tho
thnuders of eloquence or waked to ccstucy tho
living lyre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Procrcative Power Impotency), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Orirauic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or nny other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He w ho places himself under tho cure of Dr. J.
may religiously conQde lu his honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely uoon hlsokill asa Phy
sician. ORGANIC WEAKNESS,
Impotency, Loss of Power, immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Alleetlon which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences.
Young personsnrc too apt to commit excesses
from not being awaro of the dreadful conseqenccs
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lo?t sooner by those falling into
improper habits thau by the prudent? Besides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms to both
body and mind arise. The system becomes do
ranged, the Physical and Mental" Function
Weakened, Loss of Procrcative Power, Nervous
Iriilubility, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, u Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, .Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO .DAYS.
Persons ruined lu health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trifling month alter month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
stiuiiiu apply immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Roval College of Surgeons, Lou
ilon, Graduated from one ol the most eminent i
Colleges in the United States, and the greater!
part of whose Ifo has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia uud elsewhere,
has cllected some of the most astonishing cures
'.hut were ever known ; many troubled with ring- I
lug In the head and ears when asleep, great i
nervousness, being alarmed ot sudden sound, i
bushftiluess, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of miud, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all thof-e who have injurrd
themselves by Improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting
them for cither business, study, society or mar
riage. 'I hkoi: lire some of the sad and melancholy
etleets produced by early habits f youth, vix:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains iu the
Buck nnd Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, o:c.
Mi:ntai.i.v--The fearful effects on the mind
arc much to be dreaded Loes of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrut,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, Ac, "are some of the
evils produced.
Thocsanps of persous of all ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
aud emaciated, having a singular nppcaruuee
ubout the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. YOU NO MEN
Who have injured themselves by a ceitain prac
tice Indulged in when nloue, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
clleets of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, nnd If not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, nnd destroys both mind aud body, should
apply immediately. ;
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, tliu darling of his patents, should be
snatched from all prospects anil enjoyments ol
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging iu a certain secret
habit. Such persons mi t, before eouteuiplatiiig
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgilmuge j the prospect
hourly darkens to the vieu ; the miud becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with themclau
eholy retleetiou, that the kappiuesi of another
becomes biiirhted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When tho misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
Ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education nnd respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their uppca'rauee, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoetural
pains iu the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on tho shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last llie
palute of the mouth or I he bones of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful sintering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from wlicuco
uo traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousuuds DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Pol
son, Mercury, Ac., destroy tho constitution, uud
iucupablo of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
iHoulh after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, uud instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, lu des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh ovrr
his galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him.
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice uud observations in
llie great Hospitals ot r-uroi-, aud the first iu
this country, viz : England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy iu the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

LOVE LIGHTENS LABOR.
A good wife rose from her bed one morn,
And thought with a nervous dread
Of the piles of clothes to be washed, nnd moro
Than a dor.cn mouths to be fed.
There were the meals to get for the meu lu the
fields.
And the children to fix awny
To school. n"d tho milk to be skimmed and
churned j"
And all to bo done that day.
It had rained In the night, and all the wood
Was as wet ns wet could be
There were puddings anil pies to bake, bosides
A loaf of cake for tea
And the day was hot.amljicr aching heart
Throbbed wearily as sbo suld
If maidens but knew what good wives know,
They would be iu no haste to wed !
"Jennie, what do you think I told Ben Brown I"
Called the farmer from the well j
And n flush crept up to his bronr.ed brow,
And his eye half hahhfnlly fell j
"It was this," he said, nnd coming nenr,
lie smiled and stooping down,
Kissed her check " 'Tims this : that you were
the bcl
And the dearest wife In town !"
The farmer went to the field, und the wife
Iu a smiling nnd absent way,
Sam; snatches of tender little songs
She'd not sting for ninny a day,
And the pain iu her head was tone, mil
the
clothes
Were white as the foam of the sea ,
Her bread was light, nnd butter was tweet,
And ns golden ns it could be.
''Just think," the children all called In a breath,
"Tom Wood has run oil' to sea!
He wouldn't, I know, if he only had
As happy a home us we."
The night nunc down, and the good wife smiled
To herself as she softly said,
'Tis so sweet to labor fer those, we love.
It's not btrnngu that maidens will wed !

"Confound it," lie muttered, "it's al
ways my luck to have my dish tipped just
when it's full ! Though I must say, il it's
g.it to come, that I'm glad it happened the
month before our marriage."
Charles llayden, a youug man whose
features, ttriiigh less regularly funned,
were expressive of far more manliness and
goodness of heart, gazed at the speaker
with nn air of undisguised astonishment.
"Why so, Wells ? you surely did not
seek the hand of Miss Neal simply for her
money ?"
"Well, no; 1 can't say that. She is a
most lovely and charming woman ; and it
really cuts me to the heart to give her up.
jiii tneu l am too poor to alloiM stlcli n
luxury. And Miss Neal can no more af
ford to marry a poor man than I a poor
girl. So we're nbout even."
"And have you not thought of the pain
that your desertion will inllict upon the
heart you have won," said Ilaydett iu a
tone of suppressed indignation.
"Softly, my dear fellow," said Wei's,
who had resumed his former comfortablu
position, and was solacing himself with a
fresh cigar. "I hardly think that it will
be nny such o desperate ull'air to MissNoal,
ns you suppose. Indeed, l'vo thought
several times of late, that had it uot been
for her foolishly high idea of the binding
nature of such it promise, she would have
broken thu engagement herself."
"Ami knowing this you would have held
hrr to its fulfilment."
"Not being sufficiently disinterested to
refuse the gift of fifty thousand dollars I
rather think I should."
"You are not worthy of a true-hearted
like Kllen Neal !" was the indignant re
sponse. "Tin n so much tho better for her, that
I should leavo her to bo appropriated by
some one that is you for instance. It
strikes mo that you used to bo somewhat
interested in that quarter ; now is the
time, old fellow, for you to go in nnd win.'1
Charles llayden scarcely felt or heard
tho covert sneer in theso words, so much
was he engrossed with tho new-born hope
that had sprung up iu his heart, and which,
made its pulses beat so quickly aud strong-
"So you are to be married next month
my dear V" said Mr. Thoruly to his ward,
Kllen Neal.
"Yes, I believe so," was the rather iu
dill'erent reply.
Mr. Thornly studied his ward's face for
a moment with his kneu eyes.
"I don't believe you care two straws for
Frederick Wells."
"Oh 1 not so bad as that, gu.irdie," said
Ellen with a faint smile ; 'tlictgli 1 have
sometimes feared that 1 don't give him the
all'ocliou that ho deserves, lie seems to
bo very strongly attached to me."
"Humph 1 my opinion of Frederick
Wells is, that he is too much iu love with
his own handsome face to bo very much
attached to any woman."
"You ara too severe. Any way, I have
promised, und cannot break my word."
"Oh, uo, certainly uot ; far belter break
your heart,"
'I don't nolievo I've got any," was tho
laughing rejoinder. "If I have I've never
been able to discover it. Never fear for
me, guardio ; I dare say I shall be as hap
py with Frederick as with any one."
Yet in spite of these lightly spoken
words, there rose up before her mental vi
siun ouo with whom she knew she could
be far happier. Hut even if she had been
free to choose, how did she kuotv that he
would choose her V i'rue, she had some
times fancied but what right had she to
indulgo In such faneles t
When Mr. Thornly reached his ofllea he
found Frederick Weils waiting to see him ;
who said with au air of constraint, not to
say embarrassment, not at all romurkable,
when wo consider the awkward erruud on
which he came.
"I heard of Miss Neal's misfortune last
evening, sir, and I assure you with deep
regret."
"Miss Neal's misfortune V What the
deuce d'ye mean If" id the old gentle
man gruffly, with whom the young mon
was by no means a favorite.
"Why, the failure of llolton Bank, to be
sure," Mr. Wells responded quickly, the.
suspicion entering his mind that the shrewd
old lawyer was trying to dodge tho ques
tion. "Oh, ah, yes, I think I do understand
yon. Well, what of it ?"
"Only this, sir, that deeply as I regret
the necessity, tho high regard I cherish for
your ward, nnd the knowledgo that I shall
be unable at least for some years, to offer
her such a homo ns she is accustomed to
and merit requires, demands the sundering
of our engagement."
"That is to say, in plain English, my
ward, having lost" her fortune, Mr. Welis
no longer desires to marry her."
In spite (d ull his efforts, Mr. Wells felt
his checks tingle beneath the quiet scorn
i:i the eyes that rested upon his countenance.
"You put it rather harshly," he said,
forcing a smile ; "but we won't quarrel
about terms."
Very good. All 1 have to sny iR, that
what you are pleased to term Miss Neal's
misfortune, promises to ho tho best thing
that cjulil happen her. Good morning."
When Mr. Thornly saw his ward again,
iu the evening, his countenance wore a cu
rious expression.
"I have important news for you Ellen ;
one portion of it, rather bad, hut the other
as good ns to more than make up for it.
Indeed, as I told n certain young man this
morning, I consider it the best thing that
could possibly happen to you. First, for
the bad ; the bank, iu which your money
was invested, has gone up, and won't pro
bably pay two cents on a dollar. Now for
the good; in consequence of this, Mr.
Frederick Wells called to express his re
grets, that he must relinquish the honor
and happiness of making you his wife."
"Is it possible?" exclaimed Ellen. "How
I have been deceived in him. 1 thought
he loved mo for myself alone. O, Mr.
Thoruly, how thankful I ought to he that
I have discovered how false his heart is,
before it was too late."
"Mr. Ilaydeu is in the parlor and wants
to sen Miss Ellen," said a servant opening
the. door.
Ellen entered the parlor in a r.i titer per
turbed stale of mind ; much ns she rejoic
ed at her escape, she could not but feel
deeply grieved at this discovery of the un
worlhiuoss of him, whom she had hitherto
esteemed so highly ns to often reproach
herself that she could not love him us he
deserved.
Mr. Hayden's miud was, also, much
disturbed thuugh from a very different
cause.
It was iu vain that lite young gentleman
tried to recall tho neat little speech, that
he had conned over on his way to the
house ; as is usual in such cases, it com
pletely vanished from his mind as soon as
lie found himself in the presence of thu
lady, for whose benefit it was intended.
At last, making it desperate ell'ort he
broke the rather embarrassing silence by
saying :
"Mv dear Miss Neal I have heard of
your loss of fortune, and cai:not express j
what a great burllieti it lifted from my !
heart. I was so tt ulv rejoiced, as to quite j
forget "
Here startled by the indignant astonish
ment depicted upon Ellen's countenance,
the poor fellow stammered, and then stop- I
ped.
"Sir Mr. Ilavden,' fullered Ellen, deep, '
deeply wounded at language so different
from what she had anticipated. ' I am at
a loss to understand wliv vou should re
joice over my misfortune
"Dear onu. I know
r it is verysellislt in
ever ha f so happy in
inn, and yet I was never
mv life as when I learned that 1
"t''
without tieiiig nccusca ot unworthy mo-
nny mo-
lives, tell you what 0 privilege I fdtould
deem it to cherish and care for you, as man
cherishes and cares for the dearest object of
his love."
Tho sudden revolution caused by these
words, sent warm, happy tears to Ellen's
eyes.
"I thank heaven for the reverse of for
tune that has given me the rich treasure
of your love," she murmured, as she laid
Iter hand softly in his.
Half au hour later the lovers were receiv
ing the congratulations, and the warm up- I
nroval of Ellen's guardian. I
The old gentleman listened silently and
with evident enjoyment to the plans I hey
laid for the future.
"I am sorry to spoil your pretty romance
of 'Love in a Cottage,' and all that soit of
thing,' he said at last, "but the fact is El
lenthough as 1 told you, your fortune
was invested in tho Holton bank I hap
pened to withdraw tho money tho week be
fore it failed, liut don't bo down-hearted
about it mv young friends, you'll find plen
ty of people who will gladly relieve you of!
its burthen, lf you can't dispose of it in
any oilier way, you might donate it to
found a "mission school," for tho 'Fegeo
Mermaids,' or some other equally as prac
ticable missionary enterprise."
Wo can't say as to whether our younj
couple followed this suggestion, but this
we know, that throughout her long and
happy married life, Ellen often had occa
sion to bless the furttitiate blunder.

Latk Tlouns. Late hours are carrying
moro people to untimely graves than the
deadly missiles of Warfare. Tho bullet and
the crashing shells mangle tho limbs and
inflict tlesh wounds, but midnight dissipa
tion impairs tho whole system, and hurries
all ages nnd rcec9 under tho Bod. This
growing tendency to turn night into day U
ono of the most serious of our social evils,
and should rcceiva tho earliest considera'
tion of those interested iu tho welfare of the
human race. Hv looking back at the newa
pnpers of that time, it will bj fouuQ that
New Yorkers, in thu beginning of this ceu1
tury, departed from places of amusement
not litr from tho time at which they now en
ter them. Tho doors of the theatre opened
at half-past live o'clock, nnd the curtain
rose at half-past six. The early Knicker
bockers attended parlies and ether social
gatherings at seven and returned home bo
tweon nine and ten o'clock.
Now all this is changed, nnd between
nine and ten is the fashionable hour forgo
ing out. And what is true of grown peo
pie is rnpidly true of juveniles. Y'oung
sters in roundabouts, and misses in shoi t
dresses are arrauging their tlnery long af
ter the hour when the children ot the last
generation were tucked away iu trundle
beds. Little ones scarce loosened from
their mother's apron strings are dispatch
ed in carriages to "children's parties",
from half-past nine, and brought home at
midnight or later.
"jJon'l have the carriage yet," said a
little miss iu our hearing a few evenings
since ; "no ono else will be there until half
past nine," and with that she gavo a toss
of llie head, as much as to say that she was
not going to keep nny less fashiouablc hours
than her mamma.
There is certainly no reason to go bo--yond
this condition of all'airs for an expla--natioti
of the physical deterioration of sex
es. IIow very H w robust men and women
arc to be foiiud now-a-days. Can we not
each count on our lingers' ends all tho
friends and acquaintances who are freo
from bodily ailments and enjoy good
health ? We comment upon the fact that
young men become bald and prematurely
grow old ; that young ladies are almost in
variably complaining of pain in the head
or side, have a puie, weary look, and rarely
exhibit those ruddy countenances whiih aro
so common with their English sisters, liut
does it ever occur lo parents that they are
to a great, extent responsible for this ; that
they arc mainly to blame that fashionable
revelry aud dissipation tire now prof raited
far into (lie night, robbing old and youug
alike of health ? If they, in throwing open
their houses to company, wish that tho,
guests shall depart at a reasonable hour,
the guests will do so.
The prevailing fashion cannot be perpet
uated without the consent of tho heads of
the establishments. However lato the
young folks may desire to protract their fes
tivities, they must conform to the require
ments of the old folks, the householders.
We say then, it is not llie young, the youth
ful pleasure seekers, who are responsiblo
for the lato hour folly so much as tho pa
rents, who have it iu their power to slop
it. So far as children are concerned, pa
rents do them a great wrong in either en
couraging or permitting an eiidnlgeneo in
late hour festivities and cntertair.meuts.
If they will not themselves conform to tho
laws of health, the least they can do is to
prevent their children from adopting their
own ruinous practices.

My friend, did you ever examin tho fra

I guess not, they are a kritter who won't

They ars bulifttl beings, but oil! how

Their habits are phew, but unique.
They build their houses out of earth and
the houses hav but one door tow them, and
that iz a front door.
When they enter their houses they don't

They are called pole kit Is bekauso it is not

Writers ou mitral history disagree about
the right length ov the pule tew bo used,

Uo."i feet, cspesinly if the wind iz in favor
ov the po'.o kat.
When a pole kat is suddenly walloped
with a long pole, the fust thing that be,

A pole kat will remove the filling from u

This is vulgarly called "surkiug eggs. '
