BALTIMORE LOCK HOSPITAL
JR. JOHNSTON,
Physician of this celebrated Institution, has
discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasant and
effectual remedy In the world for all
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness of the Back or Limbs, Strictures,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, involun
tary Discharges, Impotency, General Debili
ty, Nervoucness, Dyspepsy, Languor, Low
Spirits, Confuclon of Ideas, Palpitation of
the Heart, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimness
of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of the Head,
Throat, Nose or Skin, Affections of Liver, Lungs,
Stomach or Bowels these terrible Disorders
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practices more fnlal to their
victims than tbe snng of Syrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, Ac, Impos
sible. 10UNG MEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to nn untimely grave
thousands of youmr men of the most exalted
talents and brilliant iutellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or waited to ecstacy tbe
living lyre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Procreatlve Power Iinpoteney), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or any other Disipialillcutlon,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J.
may religiously coutldo lu his honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely u"oii his skill as a Pbv
siclan. ORGANIC WEAKNESS,
Impotency, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured
and full Vieor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and man iage impossible is the penalty
paid by tho victims of improper indulgences.
Young persousare too npt to commit excesses
from not being uwii re of tliedrcnill'iilcoiiseqeuccs
that may ensue. Now, who that understand
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 heulthyoffspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms to lint li
body and mind arise. The system becomes de
ranged, tbe Physical and Mcutul Functions
Weakened, Loss of Prooreative Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay mi l
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DATS.
Persons ruined In health by unlearned preteu
ders who keep them trilling month after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
should apply immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of tbe Royal College of 8urgcons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges in the United States, and tbo greater
part of whose Ife has been spent in the hospitals
of Loudon, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected somo of the most aetonlshiug cures
that were ever kuown ; many troubled with ring
ing In the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
basbfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of uilud, were cured
Immediately'.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have lnjurrd
themselves by Improper indulgence and solitary
habits; which ruin both body und mind, untitling
them for either business, Htudy, society or mar
riage. Tukse ero some of tbe end and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz :
Weakucss of the Buck and Limbs, Puius lu tho
Uuckuud 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, Ac.
Mbntai.lt The fearful effects 011 the mind
nre much to be dreaded lxws of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Avorsiou to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c, arc some of the
evils produced.
TnouBASDS of persons of all aires can uow
judge what Is tha cause of their declining health,
losiug their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, buving a siugulur appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac
tice indulged In when aloue, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or ut school, the
elfe.cts of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind mid body, should
apply Immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of bis parents, should be
enntchci from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature ami indulging lu a certain secret
habit. Such persons vi kt, before coutcmplntruj;
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind und body are the most
necessary requisites to promote roiiiiubial happi
ness, ludced without these, the Journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrlniuge ; tho prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly rcfleetiou, that tbu httppiuuse of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure liuds that he has Imbibed tbe seeds of
this paiuful disease, It too often happens that an
111-thued sense of shame., or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can ulone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
tbis horrid disease make their uppeuruuee, such
ns ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pubis iu tbe head und limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones und arms,
blotches ou tho head, face aud extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
In, and the victim of tbis awful disease becomes
. horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dread I ill sintering, Dy sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from wheucu
uo traveller returns."
it is a melancholy fact that thousand DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
Into the bauds of Iguoraut or uusklilful i'KE
TKNDEUS, who, by thu use of that deadly Pol
son, Mercury, tVc, destroy the constitution, aud
Ineupable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
month alter nioiitn taking tneir noxious or in
jurious compounds, and Instead of beiug restored
to a renewal or Llle vigor aim Happiness, in ues
palr leave him with ruiued Health to sigh over
his iralliuir dlsutiolutment.
To such, therefore. Dr. johnstoh picagea nun-
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from bis extensive practice and observations in
the great llospitals of Kurope, aud the first In
this country, viz i England, t'ruuee, Philmlelphla
aud elsewhere, Is euabled to oiler the most cer
tain, speedy aud effectual remedy iu tbe world
for all diseases or Imprudence.

THE PRISONER'S CHILD.
It was early morning.
'Is this tlio wny to Sine Sins ?'
'Yes,' replied a brown meed countryman
and passed on.
It was afternoon. The child was some
what frngilo in hnr appearance. Her bon
net of broken straw ; iter shoes much torn;
the sun played hotly on her lender fore
head. She walked on one hour.
'Is this the way to Sing Sing ?'
'Yes, little girl ; but what are you going
there for '
Tho child turned on, her lips quivering,
but not deigning to answer the ptc.i.taut
faced old man who had stopped the jog
ging of his horse to note tho hurried man
ner, and who liked that little face, anxious
anal sad ns its expression was.
Tho dew was fidling. Katy had falleu
too, almost. A rough slonc by tho way,
imbedded in moss, received her tired little
frame. She looked wearied and aged sit
ting there, here, her tangled hair falling ou
her hands that were clasped over her face.
Hy tho shaking of her frame, tho tears wcro
coming too, aud sho was bravely tryiug to
hold them back.
'Why 1 what is this dear littlo girl do
ing here 1"
The exclamation came from a pair of ea
ger young lips.
'A curiosity ! I declare !' exclaimed a
harsh voice, and Katy, looking up sudden
ly, cowered away from the sight of the
pretty young girl, and her agreeable young
looking companion.
'What are you doing here, little girl ?'
asked Nell May wood, moving a littlo near
er to the frightened child.
'Going to Sing Sing,' said Katy in a
strange way.
'Did you ever, George ; this child is go
ing to Sing Sing ; why, it's ten miles on".
Little child did you know it was so far oil?'
Katy shook her head, and wiped away
the heavy tears one by one.
'Why yes, you poor little goose. What
are going to Sing Sing foi ?'
'Have you had your supper ?'
Katy shook her head.
'ilavo you had you dinner ?'
Again the child shook her head.
Nor breakfast ? Why, George, the poor
littlo thing must be starved 1'
'I should think so,' mechanically replied
her brother, just recovering from it yawn,
and showing signs of sympathy.
'Look here ; what's your name ?'
'Katy.'
'Well, Katy, you must como up to the
house and get something to eat. Goin to
Sing Sing on foot, dear mo, how redtculousl
Follow me, Katy, and we'll take caro of
you to-uight, somehow, and see about go
ing to Sing Sing to-morrow morning.
Katy followed. What a glorious vision
burst upon her view 1 The palaco house,
the rocks reddenniug in the low western
sun ; thu shining river ; the sigus of luxu
ry ou every hand.
They walked up tho wide avenue. Elms
mid oaks threw their pleasant branches on
each side j here and there a tlower bush
might be seen ; vines grew around tbe no
ble pillars, twisting up to tho glittering
window.
'Susan, give this poor child a good sup
per ; sho is hungry and tired, too, I ima
gine. After that 1 will sijo what can bo
done for her.'
Susan wore a mild face. She looked
down at the poor tired little one, and tak
ing her baud, which tumbled now, led her
into the kitchen.
Meanwhile, her story, or that brief part
of it which we know, was being told in the
drawing room. The sylph liguru in while,
lounging gracefully in the iniil&t of delicate
cushions, accompanied her narration with
expressive gestutes, aud uow aud then a
li'hl laugh. .
"I should like to know what she's going
to Sing Sing for !' she said, leauiug
lauguidly back. 'We must get her some
to wear, u bonnet ; a pair of shoes; aud
then may be we can manage to have her
carried soiuo way, if her mission is of any
importance. Oh! such an odd little thing!'
Who is that, my daughter ?'
'Oh, papa, you aro como home why I
was talking of a mite of a child ; sho can't
be more than ten it' that. I saw her sitting
on a moss rock ; the most forlorn object.
She says she is going to Sing SiDg.'
'1 mot her on my way,' said tho pleasant
faced old miiu ; she Hbked mo about it ;
i aud I would have stopped her, but sho
trudged on. Where is she 't It was noon
when 1 miw her.'
'lu thu kitcliuii, papa. Susan is taking
good care of her, 1 expect, and when she
has had a hearty supper we will talk with
her.'
A gay trio of young girls came in. The
nettings were put up ; the gas burned
brightly, and music and mirth bauished
all thoughts of care. Suddenly Nell May
wood renumbered tho littlo old figure, aud
clapping her hands together, cried, 'Oh !
I've sonielliiug to show you, girls,' aud
disappeared.
Susau was picking gooseberries uear the
i pantry iu the kitchen
'Whero is tho child, Susy ?' asked Nell
Maywood.
'Ou thu door step, Miss,' Susan replied
picking away.
'Why no, Susan; there's nobody hero;
uobody to be seen.'
'Yes, Miss,' Susan placed her pan dowu,
held her apron up to catch tho stums of the
berries, and walked deliberately to the
door.
'Why, she sat here sometime after sup
per. 1 turned, aud came in ; she was sit
ting there looking up at the stars, I ex
pected. I thought she was a mighty quiet
child ; but she's deep, Miss Nully ; she's
gono. Let tue see there ain't any silver
around should be afearod she'd took
something or other ; they're mighty artful.'
'Why, didn't you tell her she might stay
all nightV Nell Maywood was peeping
hero aud there, to spy her if possible.
'Yes, Miss Nelly ; aod I told her what a
good bed there was over the wood shed ;
but she looked etrauge out of those large
eyes of hers, and uever seemed to bear me.'
'The poor child is iu. trouble,' said Nell,
quite sorrowful that she could not further
relievo her necessities. I'd have given her
something to wear, aud we could have sent
her to Sing Sing ; if so, will you seud her
to me y
'If she docs, I will, Miss,' auswered Su
san, going at the goosebcrrries again.
But little Katy did not come back. She
bad been watchius her opportunity to get
off", and had already been gone sometime.
She slept in an open field I crawled in some
bay ; she would have walked all uight, if
she had dared, but she was afraid of tbe
darkness.
Mr, Warden, there's a queer case over
at my house,' said a bluff looking fellow,
meeting the warden of tiiog Sing prison.
'Wa found her la soma out cf tbe way
place, and nothing would do but my wifo
must take her in. We can't find out her
name except it is Katy. and I expect she
wants to seo somebody in the prison. But
we can't get anything out of her, whero she
came from or anything about.'
'Bring her over here,' 6aid tho Warden,
'my wife is wanting a littlo nirl for help,
may bo she's just the one.
Ho Katy stood trembling more than ever,
for a few moments, iu the presence of the
Warden and Jailor. Katy was a pretty
child. Her largo blue eyes wore an ex-
fircssion of intense melancholy ; her hair
md been so nicely curled and combed, and
some one bad put a good pair of shoes on
her feet.
'Well, my little girl,' said the Wardeu
kindly,for he was prepossessed in her favor,
'where have you como from V
'New York,' said tho child faintly.
The men looked nt each other incredu
lously. 'Do you mean to say that you have come
to Sing Sing, from New York, on foot. .
'Yes, sir,' said the child, frightened at
his manner, which had in it somethiug of
severity.
'And what have you come for V
'To see my father,' the child burst forth
with one great sob, and for a moment her
frame wns shaken with a tempest of feeling.
'And who is lather 5" asked tho Wardeu
kindly.
'He is Mr. Lloyd,' said the child ns soon
as sho could speak for the rushing sobs.
'Lloyd ; there are three Lloyds here
Jim, Boudy and Dick,' said the Jailor.
'They may not bo their proper names,'
responded the Warden.
'That's so,' said the Jailor; but lean
try them all. Little one, was your father's
name Jim '
The child nodded her head, or they
thought she did. She was all convulsed
with the re-actiou brought ou by the ter
mination of her journey.
'If it is Jim, he's a bad one,' said the
Jailor in a low tone ; 'he's in irons this
morning for attempting to break jail; he
don't deserve a littlo gal as looks like that
one, the vitliau. Come, I'll go and liud
your father.'
Ho took Katy 's hand ; with the other
she dashed the tears away as fast as they
fell. It frightened her almost into calm
ness, to the ponderous door at which the
Jailor applied the great key ; and the still
ness of the long stony passages ; tho dim
ness thrown over all ; the constant suc
cession of bars aud black walls was terrible
to a seusativo mind like hers.
How the heavy tread of the Jailor, and
the tread of the Warden behind him, echoed
through the gloom and space. It was in
truth a great tomb in which were con lined
living hearts, whoso throb could almost be
heard in tbe awful stillness. On, on they
went through the passage way. Every
thing spoke of crime, of tierce passion sub
dued aud held in control ; from the grim
face of tho ferocious watch dog, to the
sentinels all armed.
They then turned and went up tbo stairs,
tho Jailor holding tho scared bird close to
his side, with a tender clasp ; the Warden
following. Another tramp, and they came
to a stand still. The Jailor rapped at the
cell door. Slowly tho figure of a man with
a harsh, hair covered face, appeared.
'Here's your little girl, come to see you,
said the Jailor.
'Little girl 1 hem 1 you'ro creen,' said
tho man in grum accents ; 'I've got no lit
tle girl, or you would'ut catch me in this
place.'
Father !' said tho childish voice. It
souuded so sweet, so childish in that terri
ble prison. But as the scowling face came
closer to the bats, the child hid her head
quickly iu the Jailor's arms, half sobbing ;
it wnsu't him.
'We'll try the next one.' He walked
further own, and spoke more tileasantlv
this time. 'Well Botldv here is little KatV.
don't you want to see her V
J.ittio Katy' tuero was a long way.
imbedded in moss, received her pause, 'I
had a Kale once not a little Katy I broke
her heart God pity me. Go ou, it can't
do mo.
Again tho sweet voice rang out, 'Father.'
The prisoner came up close to the bars ; a
youthful faco in which the blue eyes looked
innocent ; a face that it seemed a sin to
Couple with a foul deed, gazed out.
It saw the child's eiruest pleading eyes ;
a dark expression rolled like a wave across
his brow ; a groan came up from his bo
som and with a low moan, he staggered
agaiust his bed, cryimr, 'take her away
1 can't stand the sight of anything pure
like that.'
Katy had hidutu her faco a second liuic,
ns she feebly cried ; 'it isn't him ;' so they
kept on to the third cell.
"Jim. here's a little girl, littlo Katy, your
daughter wants to see you.'
A stupid 'what V came from tho bed ;
the man had probably just awakened.
'Your little child.'
There was a sound of irous that made
the child shiver. Dimly appeared the face
and outline of a well-mado man the
countenance handsome, but evil. He Seem
ed not to comprehend. But as his chains
would permit, he came forward and looked
out nt the anxious face blow. With a loud
convulsive cry, she exclaimed, 'Father 1
Father!' and fell senseless against the
Jailor.
'Katy 1' exclaimed tho man and there
was a nervous twitching about the muscles
of the mouth, 'what iu Heaven's name
brought you hereV
The Jailor was calling the child to con
sciousness. 'Shall we let her come in the cell?' asked
the Warden.
Jim was dashing his hand across his
face. A smothered 'Yes,' issued from his
lips They opened the ponderous door and
put the child within. Her arms were out
stretched ; his were wide open, and they
came together with a clankiug sound about
the form of that poor child.
'Oh, father V 'Oh, Katy, Katy V'and he
lifted the little head, whose glossy curls
were falling ou his shoulders, aud oh 1
what a sharp rattle of the chains smote on
the ear ; aud looked in her face. Alter a
moment's irresolution, kissed bur ,aud his
bead fell under her earnest loving look.
'Katy what made you come 1'
'Wanted to see you, father,' and the head
was ou the shoulder again.
'How did you come, Katy? Never mind
tbe noise ; they will be here again and let
you out. How did you come, Katy V,
'I walked here.'
From New Tork, child?'
'Yes, father.'
There was uo sound, save that of chains,
as he strained her closer to his bosom.
And bow did you leave her Katy
yeur mother V'
The question was fearfully asked, but
not responded to. He gazed eagerly into
the child's face, her littlo lip was quiver
ing.
'Katy, tell me quick !'
'(she dted, father,'
A groan, a terrible groan followed ; the
convict's bead fell In the lap of hit child
and he jrept with strong cries. The Jailor
and the Warden Mid they never saw a sight
so woiui. Ana tue cuua trioa to couitort
biiu till bis strength seemed to be gone,and
his sobs were like gasps.
Ob, Katy, when did sho die? Oh, my
poor May; my poor girl!'
'Ever so long, I guess ever tn many
weeks,' replied the child; 'but sho told me
to come and see you ,and to comfort you.
'Oh God I this Is hard ; she always for
gave me.' .
'She told me to pray for you, if you
would be real good after you came out,
and meet her in Heaven.'
'In Heaven 1 I in Heaven !' groaued tbe
man, giving away again in his agony.
The child wa angel gulden. ' He, self

stripes aud chains. He bad been, harden

'Father, when you como out I'll take

He lifted his head ; his eyes, red with
weeping, wtro fastened on her faco.

"I Will save you father, father.'.
The Warden cleared his throat; the jail

was to hiihi his emotion. Vou had better

'Katy, you must go now ; you will ciuie
again, my child':"
C'an'l 1 slay?'
No, dear, but you shall como aud see
me again.'
They took her gently from the daik cell;
sho sobbed very quietly. In the W'arden's
room stood a pleasant faced old man.
I have come after that little tfirl,' he said.
'She must go homo with nie I'll take good
care of her, I've heard her story, and when 1

Whence tub Name "Pennslvania?"
The origin of the name of the State of
Pennsylvania will be fouud iu a letter of
William Puun, its founder, dated January
Ulh, 1081, from which the following is aa
extract :
"This day, after many walchings, wait
ings, soliciting, aud disputes in council,
my couutry has been coutlimed to me un
der the great seal of England, with largf
powers aud privileges, by the name oi
Pennsylvania a name the king would give
it iu honor of ray father. I choso New
Wales, being a hilly couutry ; and when
the Secretary, a Welshman, refused to call
it New Wales, I proposed Sylvania, and
they added Peun to it, though I was much
opposed to it, aud weut to the king to havo
it struck out. Ho said it wns past, and he
would not take it upon him ; fur I tea red
it might be looked upon ns vanity in me,
and not ns respect iu the king to my father,
as it really was."
