A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS. Persons ruined In health by unlearned prcteu- deis who keep them trilling month after month, aking poisonous aud Injurious compounds, should apply immediately. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduated from one of the most eminent Colleges tn the United States, and the greater part of whose lfe has been spent in the hospitals of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, lias e fleeted some of tbe most astonishing cures that were ever known many troubled with ring ing In the head and ears when asleep, great nervousness, beiug alarmed nt suddcu soauds, baslifuluess, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of miud, were cured Immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses nil those who have lujurrd themselves by improper Indulgence nud solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for either business, study, Boclcty or raar riuge.

Thousands of persous of all ages can now judire whnt Is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous and emaciated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump tion. YOUNG MEN Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac tice indnlged in wheu uloiie, a habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at school, the effects of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, aud If not cured, renders marriage impos sible, aud destroys both mind and body, should apply Immediately. What a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the darling of his parents, should be snatched from ull prospects aud 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 contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect thnt a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the journey through life becomes a weury pilgrimage) the prospect hourly darkens to the view ) the mind becomes shadowed with despair uud tilled with tile melan choly retluctiuu, thut the happiness of auolher becomes blighted with our own. A CERTAIN D1SEA8E. When the misguided aud imprudent votary of pleasure finds that he has Imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often luipiens thut an ill-timed seuse of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education and urspcctabllity, cau alone befriend blm, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their apcaruticc, such ns ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturul pains in the head aud limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones uud urms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the fialale of the mouth or the bones of the nose full n, and the victim of this awful diseuse becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to his dreadful sutl'eriug, by sending him to " thut Undiscovered Couutry from whence no traveller returns." It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through full Ine; Into the bunds of Ignorant or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Pol sou, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution, aud iucupable ol curlug, keep the uuhuppv sutlerer luouiu utter month taking their noxious or in jurious compounds, uud instead of being restored to a renewal of Lite Igor ami Happiness, lu des pair leave him with ruined Hcullh to sigh over bis galling disappointment. To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, aud from bis extensive practice and observations in the great Hospitals of Europe, and the tlrst lu this country, viz : England, France, Philadelphia aud elsewhere, is enabled to otter the most cer tain, speedy aud effectual remedy lu the world tor all disease of impriulcuce.

A BALLAD OF THE MNOW. 17 Sitting st my window low Watching as tho white flakes full, ' Softly, swiftly comet the snow, Covrlng town nnd high church wall. In the churchyard lies asleep, Out so fair so passiug fair I In the town one walks and weeps, Cries, "Ah fool I so fair, so fair ! II. On n winter' day long gone, When the snow thus wove Us spell, As a maiden sat alone, 'Tbwsrt her sight a shadow fell. Rising then to give it greeting, LI fa and light It seemed to hold Set her heart's young pulses beating To a n lisle sweet as old Common man, It stood bt'fot!.,".r. But his brows ueid taw erAhiouea Tenderness that coujddogg hcr-j III. Meeting oft, they talked together Of their bookst their friends, and life And she guessed at his endeavor To win laurels in its strife. As for him be said, "She's fair I But with life 1 lave a fight If she loved me, would I dure Her dear passlot to requite t" Then be tried by took and wile, Without sacrifice nf pride, If her eyes he might beguile Of a secret they would bide. IV. So he lingered toying naught Waiting there t see somu sign But the maiden in her thought, "He will never uy, 'I'm thine!' For bis fancy rovts elsewhere, Aud his thoughts beyond me fly j He but deems uie timely fair, Nor once unswers to my cry. Cau I then make tuowu my pain, Or by looks declare my love I would die for very shame, And his heart vith scorn should move." V. Then said he, "Why waste my days lu a dream of leisure born, When my soul Its lopes would raise Ion wreath by couq'rors worn t If fair her face and klud her ways, Must I die for such as these ? Loving eyes may meet my gaze Her's but fascinate aud lease." VI. So for years they moved apart, And be won his crown from fame j With it wou a eueerlng heart, Scornful even of his name. VII. As the rivers In their flow, Touched by sunshine, touched by shade, Through tbe land as blessings go, Tried to live the little maid. As the rivers on the eea. At the Inst their burden lay, So front her eterulty Took her load of, care away. VIII. When she Iny down faintly weak, With a chord of dying pain ; When her pulses feebly bent, To her side be came again. ' IX. Soft her nccertt as she spoko Of the days they both had seen, All the pait within him wolio. All thluas that might have been. One by one ihev cue to haunt him, Plans with which his brain did teem, And the hopes that did enchant him In their guise of "Love's young dream,-' When he thought, "If I could see Thoughts within her heart that dwell, Would I give my soul's May bt I If she hold for me love's spell I" X. Ah, such chunce by Time was lost In the droppings of his sand I New her life, by death-throes tossed, Slips from bis detaining hand. XI. Leaped this life from out her heart, Found its way into her braiti, Made the spirit, kept apart By bone and muscle ail in vain. And the maiden gently passed With her vain love to the skies, In its realms to find at last That tweet fruit in such love lies. XII. For he cried, "I've been ttnwise, And my heart bus missed Its mate. As lived, my life I sore despise And will renew lu purer stale." Low he vowed by that sweet face, Gentle still In death's repose They should meet, by God s good grace, Wiiau he, tiio, from deuth arose. XII. Sitting at my window low. Watchlnir as the white flakes fall, Softly, swiftly comes the snow, Cov'ring town and high church wall.

'"Plensc, sir, buy a fow uintchea ?" And Mr. Hudson turned, all acuUbtotned ns lie wits to hear the tamo words daily, as the childish cry struck hits car, to look nt the little wait', asking his charity ; for the childish tune Bounded strangely tiitniliar, and surely , imew here had he seen tho counterpart ot' those lustrous blue eyes, rivaling in their hue a summer's sky. "What's your uame, little ouo queried ho. ' "Edith Gray," answered the child tim idly. "And where's your homo ?" k,l haven't nuy home since mamma died, but Mrs. Green let me sleep in her room, and 1 sell matches enough to buy my sup per." "Well, well, wo shall freeze standing here. It's uoing to be a wretched cold night. Come homo with mc, ana I'll see about it." Now littlo Edith did not quite under stand his meauiug, but she knew that his was the tirstfuce that had smiled unon her, the whole day ; so ia her simple faith she clasped her little benumbed lingers iuto his warm extended hand, aud trudged on bis bitlo. What cared Lee Hudson that his friends turutd on tho street to look back on the pair, and wondered if tho fastidious bach elor had suddenly loat dense, that he should be leading home "a little beggar girl. Was she not Edith's child V Once he had hoped to say his Edith. But foolish lover's quarrel had separated them ; she was proud and spirited, he cold aud obstinate, and while anger blinded both, Lee Hudson sailed for Europe. When nest he heard from home, Edith had mar ried a dashing youug sti auger. Siting with reproach at his folly, Lee Hudson gave himself up to the excitement and gaie ties ot the capitals, aud was for tea jours a wanderer in foreign lands. All admired the cold, polished Amcri- ' nan who ffraivd their circles, while en4U were the strategies ef the ffav buttrfllp nf iitsiiiou mat iniiea aoout mm only wailing ut nun vu rca.cn out ins nana to De caught. However, he had como home single, pur chased an elegant house, and settled down to a quiet life. Humors had reached him, while abroad, that Edith's husband had proved himself a worthless adventurer, squandering her money ; more than that, he had never henrd, indcod he had never asked for them, for to him she was dead. From the first moment of meeting her child upon tire street, his resolve was made to take her nt his own. "Here, Mrs. Westoti, I have broucht you a little charge," said Mr. Hudson, pushing open the sitting-room door, and addressinu his housekceixir. "You'm n good hand at contriving ; seo if you can't mnko this little girl more presentable ; then send her to m&jifo'r1.IJio.M.iotvsUlj ..,, with a kindly smilo always resting about her small mouth, no momentary aiiect tion, you are sure, as soon as you glance nt her face, but father the diruut result of a contented mind, and a heart overflowing with love aud good wishes for mankind. Surprise was plainly depicted on her countenance, ns her eyes rested upon the little stranger, but without a word of com ment at the slraugu request, she arose and led her to her own room. "I declare I don't see why Mr. Hudson should think I could mnko my clothing fit her, but it's juft like a man so heedless. Oh, I've got it; I believe that suit I've been making for the missionary box will just do ; how fortunate that it stormed this afternoou, or 1 should have taken them to be packed. Little did I imagine when making them, they would clothe heathen at my very door." Quickly she removed the child's well worn garments, replacing them with the snowy linen. "A very perlecl lit," she prouounccd the dress, as she surveyed her work. 'Jli. what a lovely dress," exclaimed the child, as she danced before the long mirror ; "cau't I keep it ?" "Yes, if Mr. Hudson thinks best." "I guess he will, for he is the nicest man I ever saw." "Your hair looks as though it ought to curl. Come and let me try, and then we will go down to dinuer." Mr. Hudson did not care to conceal his pleasure at the happy change, aud indeed he would have searched long ere he could have found a lovelier child than Mrs. Wes ton led to him for inspection. The dress of rose colored merino served to heighten the whiteness of her clear transparent skin ; glossy curls reached to her waist, and clustered about her broad, full fore head. "Draw one of those ottomans to tho fire, I want to talk to vou. ilow old are you, Edith V " "I shall be ten years old next May." "Is '.i possible V You are so slight I did not think you were more thau seven. How swiftly these years have ttown ; it seems but yesterday since " nnd Hudson talked on to himself, forgetful of the brighl eyes watcoing unit so liiUMHiy. "Ilow do you liko my home. ?" asked he, turning abruptly to lr. "Ult, it's beautiful ! It makes me think of piy book of fairy talcs, and you aro just like the fairy prince." "Io you think you would like to live here always, and be my little girl V The child opened her blue eyes wide in astonishment, as if the good within her reach was too great for her to comprehend. "Do you moan it truly y Can I always have pretty warm dollies like these, and never need go in the strfct to sell my matches, and can I go to school like other girls, and have a bird and pretty play things. Oh, 1 think you're the nicest man in the world," as she crept timidly to h':s side. "You will have a governess nt home, and every advantage that can be secured for you. " I shall expect you to be it very good girl, and obey me promptly, and I think we shall be very happy together," said Mr. Hudson, placing his arm about her and tenderly stroking her curls. "Hut it's high tituu you were in bed ; I want you to be bright iu the morning. Good night, my child." For hours after her tired head pressed the pillow, she tossed to and fro. A home and love were the two things her loving, sensitive nature had most yearned for. To think that cozy room, with its bright ear pet, its pretty white curtain, and, above all. the downy bed wilh its snow counter pane, was to be all her own ! For Mrs. Weston had said so when she tucked her warmly in bed, and left a good-night kiss on her brow, Edith was a bright little thing, and by her application to her studies quite won the love and approbation of her teachers. But iu no one study did she excel as in music, while hur rich, mellow voice charm ed all who listened to her songs. Edith, iu her wonderings. had often wished for a bird such as she had seen en joyed by other little girls In happy homes. Now every desire could bo gratified, nud Hudson, at au early day, purchased one wilh as beautiful plumage ns he could find. It afforded her much pleasure, and its deatlt was one ot the few sad experiences which she passed through in the early dnys of ber girlhood. Hut swiftly fly the years, sprinkling here and then) a silvery thread in Io Hudson's raven locks, ana gradually developing Edith Gray into a grander womanhood than even "her childish beauty gave pro mise of. Here was a beauty not merely of face and form, but also a mind welt stored wilh rare gems of knowledge. Mr. Hudson was thinking it necessary that Edith should be formally introduced to fashionable society tho coming winter, and was laying his plans to that end when Edith euteied his library one evening, nnd seated herself at the table, waiting till ho was at liberty. "There, I believe that business is set tled. What do you wish, Edith t" ''It's just ten years to-night, is it not, Mr. Hudson, since you fouuil me a home less orphan, and brought mo to your home y "Yes, child, and very short, pleasant vears they have been to me." " "I hardly know how to express myself without wounding you, since you have always been so very kind, but I have thought for some linw I ought to go and earn my living. I am young and strong, und. thank you, well educated, and" "Hush, don't say another word," and Mr. Hudson arose and hurriedly paced the floor ; pausing at length, he faced her. "Edith, 1 shall say what 1 meant to wait till you had teen for yourself tho gaiety of the outer world, bad listened to tbe flattery of men, aud if you found among them one you could choose for a husband, I should never tell you I love you other than as a daughter; but you hive unsm!H myl'ps Jtw "erlei.

Lack. An alarming large number ef the sons of tho rich men of New York are at this mo ment helpless, drunkards. Within five years a well-to-do farmer drew a quarter of a million dollars in a prize lottery. Tho whole rounlry envied him his luck, but he has since died from a style of living induced by his good fortune, and his only son has turned out to bo a drunkard. Young mon nrc they, many of them of education, ofmnny good qualities, of gene ous natures, honorable and high-minded ; but this demon of drink has taken such a possession of them that a father's breaking lieart, a mother's tears and sister's agony avail uot to draw thorn from their deep damnation. Elegant leisure was their ruin. The man who married the prettiest girl of the place is said to be a "lucky fellow," aud so of him who draws the highest prize in a lottery, or by some fortunate turn in offairs, clears theulf between want and wealth in an hour. And yet tho histories of nil times tell us that with a tcrriblo uni formity and certainty the men who hecomo suddenly possessed of unearned millions die in great misery Tho imia whose first bet on the race course, whose first deal at tho card-table, whose first risk at faro, whose maiden lot tery ticket brings money largely in his pocket, is n ruined man at the very instant the world pronounces him "lucky." Any man, espec'""j j j r 5iuBiaris iu lift; with the conviction that money can ir better mado than by earning it. Is a lost, man lost already to society, lost to his family, lost to himself. The best way to save a child from ruin is to bring him up to "help father." Make children feel that they must do something to support the family, to help along ; then, too, feelings arise which are their salvation those of affection and pride ; for we na turally love those whom we daily struggle together with for a desired object, and nothing so improves a child as to 'make him feel that ho is of consequence, that ho can do something, and that what he does is appreciated Nehvous children often suffer from fear, when put to bed abme. No tongue can tell the horrors of a lonesome room to such children. A little delicate boy, whom his parents were drilling to sleep alone, used to crv violently everv nisrht. nnd his father would come in nnd whip him. Ho mistook his pcrtinicily for obstinacy, and he thought it his duty to conquer the child's will. One night he said : "Why do you always scream so, when you know you shall bo punished V "Oh, father, father!" said the litilo fellow, "I don't mind you whipping me, if you would stay with me." The father's eyes were opcued from thnt moment. He saw that a hu man being cannot bo governed by dead rules, like a plant or an animal. Educational Tiiainixo. It is not of so much importance what you learn at school as how you learn it. At school a boy's business is not simply or mainly to ain knowledge, but to learn how to gain it. II is lime at school has not been mis spent, even if he carries away a vcty scanty stoic of actual facts in history, or litera ture, or physical science. If in his school days you cram his head wilh such facts be yond what aro merely elementary, you are very apt to addle his brains and to in ike a little prig or pedant of him, incapable, from aelt-couceit, of much farther progress afterwards. )umorcns. A Good Joke. Deacon Johnsun is a great temperanco man, and sets it good ex ample of total abstinance, as far as ho is seen. Not long ago ho employed a carpen ter to make some alterations in bis parlor. In repairing the corner near the fireplace it was found necessary to remove the wains coating, when lo ! a discovery was made thnt astonished everybody it brace of de ennters, a tumbler jnd a pitcher were co sily reposing there, as if they had staid there from the beginulug. The deacon was summoned, and, as ho beheld t!o bot tles, he exclaimed : "Well, I declare 1 that in cut ions, sure enough. It must be that old liains left them wheu he went out of this 'ere bouse thirty years ago." "Per haps ho did," returned the carpenter, "but deacon, the ice in the pitcher mutt hare been friz mighty hard to stay all this time." A doctor was called in to seo a patient whose native land was Irelat.d, and whose native drink was whisky. Water was pre scribed as tho only cure. Pat s id that it was out of the question ; he could never drink it. Milk was then proposed, and Pat agreed to get well ou milk. The doc tor was soon summoned again. Near the bed on which the sick man lay wat a table, and ou the table a large bowl, and in the bowl was milk, but flavored strongly with "What have you there?" said the doc tor. "Milk, doctor; just what you ordered." "But there is whisky in It; I smell it." "Well doctor," sighed the patient, there may be wbiX? ia it, bat milk' my omVt."
