A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined In health by unlearned prcteu-
deis who keep them trilling month after month,

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. Tiiksb ure some of tho sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz": j
Weakness of the Buck mid Limbs. Fains in the
Bark nnd Hml. nimitPHH of Siirbi. Loss ot Mu,

Mentally The fearful effects on tho mlud
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spiriti, Evil
Forebodings, Aversiou to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, tec., are some of the
evils produced.
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.
In the churchyards lies asleep
One so fair so passing fair I
In the towu one walks and weeps,
Cries, "Ah fool ! so fair, so fair I"
pities jhdrljC8.
AFTER .MANY' DAYS.
BT JENNIK BEXnAX.
'"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.

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

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.

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

Noxious Insects. Young cabbage

the plants, cut of, and you will find tba
grub a quarter of an inch under the sur
face, and kill it. If it is not thero, It will
be found on tho plants next to it, and near
by there will be another. They are always
in pairs and near to each other.
There is a small black Ilea in vast burny

There is a greenish, mealy louse that at
