(JIM A NIC WEAKNESS, Impotency, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured unci full Vigor Restored. This Distressing Alfection which renders Life miserable nnd marriage impossible is the penalty paid by the victims." of Improper Indulgences. Young persons arc too upt to commit excesses from not being aware of the dreadful eonseip'iiecs that tuny ensue. Now, who that understands the subject will pretend to deny that the power of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into improper habits than by the prudent I Besides being deprived the pleasures of lu aithy oll'spi dug, the most serious and destructive symptoms to both body and mind arise.

A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS. Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten ders who keep them trilling month after month, taking poisonous and injurious compounds, should apply Immediately. I) It. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduated from one of the most eminent Colleges in the United States, and the greater Mitt of whose He has been spent In tlich.iMiituls of London, Pris, Philadelphia nnd elsewhere, f lias etleeted some ot the most astonisluug cures that were ever known j many troubled rtith ring ing in the head and ears when asleep, great nervousness, being ulanucd nt sn Men sontnls, basliluliiess, with" ftvjneut blushing, attended sometime with derangement of mind, were cured immedlatclv. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have iujurrd themselves by improper indulgence nnd solitary habits, which ruin buih body uud mind, untitling them for cither business, study, society or mar riage. '1 iinsu nre some of the sad and melancholy effects produced by early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of tlie Back aud Limbs. Pains iu the Backend Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspcpsy, Nervous irritability, Derangement ot uige-uve Functions, Geueral Debility, Symptoms of Con- j h ii in 1 't ion , cvc. Mestai.i.t The fearful effects on the nilud i are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con- j fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil- I Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Dint nist, Love of Solitude, Timidity, iVe., are some of the evils produced. TliofsANiis of persons of all ages can now Judge what is tlie cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous and emaciated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms ot consump tion. ' YOUNG MEN I Who hare injured themselves by a certain prac- j ticc indulged in when alone, a habit frequently j learned from evil companions, oral school, (lie I ellvcts of which are nightly felt, even when I asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage Impus- i sible, and destroys both mind and body, should j apply immediately. i What a pity that a young man, the hope of his I country, the darling "of Ins parents, should be j snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of ! life, by the consequence of deviating from the i path of nature aud indulging in a certain secret ! habit. Such person.- mi st, before contemplating MARRIAGE, j reflect that a sound mind aud body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi- ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through ; life becomes u weary pilgrimage ; the prospect i hourly darkens to the view ; the mind become shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly rellei tiou, that the happiness of another becomes blighted with onrown. a CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure liuds that he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often happens that an ill-limed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend biui, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol this horrid disease make their appearance, such n ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, iioetuial palas lu tlie head ami limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes ou the shin bones aud arms, blotches on the head, face und extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at hist the palate of the mouth or the 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 siitl'ering, by seudimr lil nt to " that Undiscovered Couutry from whence no traveller returns." It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims to tills tcriiblc disease, through falling lino the bauds of Ignorant or unskillful PRE '1 END Fits, who, by the use of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, Ve., destroy the constitution, and incapable nf curiug, keep tlie unliappv suilerer ittoiilh after month taking llieii imhius or in jurious coin pounds, and instead of being restured to a renewal ol Lite Vigor ami Happiness, in des pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over ids galling disappointment. To such, therefore. Dr. Johnston pledges him self to preserve the most Inviolable tsecreev, and from his extensive practice aud observations iu the great Hospitals of Europe, aud the lir-t in this country, viz: England, France, Philadelphia und elsewhere, is enabled to oiler the most cer tain, speedy and ellectual remedy lu the world lor all diseases of imprudence.

The phth stretching long nnd dreary With trial and Inbor rife, Wc pause on tho upward Journey, Glancing backward over valley nnd glen, And sigh with nn Inftnito longing To return and "begin agaiu." For behind Is the dew of the. morniug With nil Its freshness rind light, And before nre doubts and shadows, And the chill and gloom of tho night And wc think of the sunny places We passed so carelessly then, And we sigh, O, Father, permit Ui To return and "begin ngnln." We think of the many dear ones. Whose lives touched ours, nt times, Whose loving thoughts and smiles Float back like vesper chimes j And Badly remember burdens Wc might have lightened then, Ah, gladly would we case them Could wc "begin again." And yet, how vain the asking I Life's duties press nil of us on, And who would shrink fiom the burden. Or sigh for tlie sunshine that's gone 1 And it. may be, not far on before us Wait fairer places than then j Our paths may lead by st'll waters, Though we may not "begin ngalu." Yes, upward and onward forever Be out path on the hills of life, But ere long a railiant dawning Will glorify trial and strife. Anil our lather's hau l will lead us Tenderly upward tlie-i, In the joy and peace of the belter world He'll let us "begin again."

Thorn vas the harsh priutl- I iti nnd rnttlini; of 1iu steam-winch nt j wink discharging ctr;;n ; the cries mi l I curses of the coarse men at work ; the j slri!;in;g of tlie hells in hoard ; the lapping j of the water at tho.vharf; the sounds of I the gn at ferry-boati which crossed front j Kast Lviston to IJosUn proper. I was be- j ginning io led ineil ana was unnKing oi turning in for the night, when the lamp ' that huiiLf iu the passage revealed the lig- ; lire ol the second mate, a great rough, sul ky looking follow, willi as warm a heart as ever beat in human breast. "Oh,'' said I, "coinu in, sit down, mid spin nvj that lnng promisi'd yarn of yours. Take, u cigarette 'tis tiie only thing I smoke ; I'll keep you company. " So suying, i produced two of little weeds, nnd wo commenced slowly to evlmliv ; Well. Sawbones he bcunn. ( I was the doctor,) "1 hate palaver ; so here "ocs. I was once mate of a coolie ship, fam not goin" to speak of the coolie trade nt this tune ; but it's about coolies that the story is. I'm nut going to enter into time or place; but sullico it tl.at our ship was a good one, and wu were on a voyage with a right heavy load of eoof.es. We were pret- j ly tightly packed, I can tell you, aud no mistake. Well, w had the blatkies on j deck pretty much, and we did all wo could I to ventilate and purify them; and as yet j we liail no nail disorder among them all was going pretty well. "The skipper was much engaged below ; he was one of tho kind t! at behove in keep ing the steam up high pressure, you know. In fact, I had command ; the old man never interfered. Doctor, boys aro tho greatest nuisance and torment that you can have nllotit c.t nshorc mi in'mlnki W'c had two boys. They who little, dwarfish chits. In'it. tits flinnm r noil Irb-L-u n vooo.r it pes. It took us all our time to look after those boys. Sometimes they fought some times they leagued iu mischief; but if they were out of sight you might be sure they were doing no good. George was tho name of one, Harry that of the other. Tlie whole of the ship was against them, and they against the whole of the ship. It was a game, and the little wretches played it. Of course they were thrashed from time to time, but that seemed to act only as a stimulant. "Well, one day the coolii s got up a great affair nt least it was great aifair to them, poor creatures. They were to give a sort of olforiiig to their god or at least one of them. They wai.ted to bo in his good book, you see, nnd so they niado him his gift. I don't know all that was in the bundle, but I think there was rice, and I know there was money. The olleriug was fixed to the trunk of the mainmast the truck, you kuow, is tho bottom affair at the very point of tho mast. Well, it was fastened up during the day. nud the sign was, that if the god came iu tho night uud took away the bundle ho was well pleased and meant to bless their voyage. It was fastened all right, and they set a watch of their own to keep a light eye to the bundle, so that they might see tho god swoop over und carry it away. There was also a group of coolies at the shrouds to seo that there was no unhallowed interference by the ship's people. "Well, evening shaded into night, and a deuced dark night it was, too heavy masses of cloud scudding across a sombre sky ; not bad weather, but rather threaten ing, you know. 1 was on watch, feeling rather anxious ns to how the night might turn out. Our doctor, a native, caine to my side. Ho was a very intelligent fellow, I can tell you, nnd well educated. Do didn't believe in the god coming down and taking away the bundle, but ho wasn't such a fool as to express his mind before tho coolies. They aro rather dangerous cattle ut times. Vou read now and again of their rising in mutiny, killing tho idlicers nnd crew, aye, even setting lire to thu ship, nnd playing tho deuce generally. Coolies ore not to bo trilled with, especially when there is a great crowd of lliein. Of course they nro ignorant and superstitious, nnd such nro always dangerous. Life with such people is at a discount nud no mis take. Well, tho doctor and I were devis ing plans lor ventilating the ship by kind ling tires, etc., nud so thu wnteh passed. V lieu eight bells struck nt midnight, 1 turned in us soon ns 1 was relieved. It seemed scarcely a minute before 1 was forced to knov that it wns four o'clock in the morning and limo for me to lie on dock and take my watch. 1 found the ship much as I had left her. The "second" said that the wind had not risen higher than when I went below, but that tho night had been intensely dark. It was so at the time be spoke. I commenced to pace to aud fro, wishiug heartily that uiy watch vKt over, and, e tltut paeecd, noticing th grand diflsion of tho uncertain light of early moiling. "Suddiily my blood was nearly frozen lu my veis by a devilish uproar. I thought at lirst.hat it was mutiny then lire. While Ivns composing my mind for action tho sctwiuiiig was renewed tenfold. Cool ies strtinied and crowded on deck In doz tns. They were nil violently excited, but did nit seem disposed to do any mischief. I 8etvotie of tho hands to ascertain what wnsile row, before I gave nny command, butxforo ho returned tho native doctor spring to my side with a glassy, terror stitkeneyu nnd trembling limbs. 'Mr. Tv'sul,' snys ho, 'our lives tire in danger 1 Wiut folly, what madness ! Who could df it ? You must act very prudently, Mr. T'psal, or this will be our last voyage.' "While I was staling nt tlio poor horri (M doctor, unable to sec his drift, the man pturned, nnd said that tho row was caused ly tlie coolies having discovered that the iutidlo was goue or, ns they said, that ,lie god had carried it off. lt'was as vet i'arly dawn, and tho great fact, had just been discovered. I had forgotten about the affair. Now I glanced up at tho truck of the main. Xo butidlo was there. It was gone. How '( Nothing in the way of atmospheric force could have removed it. Of course we could not admit the sti peruatutal, unless, indeed, a half-formed suspicion of the possibility of the devil hav ing done the thing. Only one other ex planation remained, that of a human in tervention. 15ut how V and who 't I felt cold nnd giddy, a clammy perspiration oned out on me, nnd I felt shaky. I nerved myself. I must act ut once, and secretly. "Tho doctor whispered we'll be murdered in cold discover the trick. Who ; 'Oh, Topsal, blond, if they could it have been V "I could only echo his question with a groan. I called the 'second,' much to his surprise and disgust, but having left tho deck in his charge, the doctor and I went on a vovttgo of discovery. First wo repair ed to toy room and thought. Suddenly wc j both raised our eves, nnd staring at each . . . - oUieq- wlitsper,;,! : 1 he boys. ' Oh. confound them!' cried I ; 'only wait. If we make this voyage, and get quit of this load of gunpowder safely, O, won't 1 !' " us hunt them up,' said the doctor. "So we si t out for the forecastle. We entered noiselessly, and crept iti the direc tion of the boys' bunks. At first there seemed nothing unusual. The lamps swung and creaking, tlm timbers strained, the water went thud, thud on the ship's bows. We crawled nearer. We held our breath. Hush 1 What sound was that? Was it not liko tho clinking of money V Oh, hor ror . t "The doctor and I pinched each other black and blue, and shuddered. We crawl ed still nearer. We got behind a coil of rope and some barrels. Wo peeped into the. corner where tho young scapegoats dwelt. Yes, the metallic sound proceeded frofli that direction. We stretched our !lct'KS- 1 "elL' l"-',',lu our ?, s sut ine two ,!U f'01ltllr,-s Wltl tlp bundle between ll",n- c ,sil.v l,ul secretly dividing the spoils, 11 combination ol daring and lolly ill- most made! us commit ourselves. JJut wc watched upon them, and clapped our bauds over their mouths. In a second we had them tied up nnd gagged. Tho contents of the bundle we quickly concealed about our persons and dropped overboard when wo went aft. Wo set a watch over the buys, and 1 read them a lessen iu whispers, which put the terror of death on them. It was a dark night, you know ; they hail climbed up the Slav unnoticed and taken the bundle ! I "Ah, doctor ! I'll never forget that voy- age.

Kven my turn below was no rest ; 1 couldn't sleep 1 dozed and started, until I was called on deck naiu. Oh, niii'i, it was awful ! Suspense, doctor, is a terrible thing. 1 felt just as if I were living over a volcano never sure but th.it an eruption might occur. It would almost have been a relief to have had the worst. My hair turned gray, doctor no mistake. The 'second' even noticed that I turned shaky aud fanciful. No, doctor ; I didn't drink ; that had nothing to do wilh it. How I rejoiced at tho close of each day ! We made a pretty good voyage, and 1 al most felt i.s if the laud, when we firs' sight ed it, was a paradise ! When wo actually got that cargo safi ly on shore, and I fell my Ihroat still uncut, 1 almost thought it too good to be true no mistake." I don't know how many ol my cigarettes Mr. Topsal smoked, but I know that tho slock was sadly reduced. "I5ut, 1 say, Topsal," I put in, "what about the boys, you know V Did you give them an awful thrashing ?" Mr. Topsal looked bulkier than usual as he replied : "Well, thev got loose as sion as we got into poit, robbed me, nnd desertd the ship. That was tho last that I ever saw of them." Tut: Metal Famine. The famine iu iron, now so severely fell, is Ix ing supple mented by one in copper, while it was pre j ceded by an extraordinary advance in the price ol tin. wtncli latter was tlie nr.ii arti cle to feel the change. The price of tin has risen, within a low mouths, from JL'S'i to i'lo-lper ton, but has since youe up to JL'I.IS, wilh a slill upward tendency. Within the past year iron has risen from 47s to UJs sterlings for Middlcsboroiigh, while tho j Scotch special brands ros.i from litis to lOs . per ton, and all other ciasses iu pro orlion. j Copper has only lately begun to i,how the i I'lfccU of a demand in excess of supply, i The principal supply of this article is from the west coast of South America. Hero it has always been noted that miners work; more the lower tho wages, nud less tho j high. Tho long continued low prices hav- j ing at length tired out many of the capital- 1 ibis engaged in tho mines, thu production has fallen o!f, in the case of Chilli, from ; 00,000 tons in 181511, to 4",500 iu lsl, ut J the same time that the stock, which was j 30,000 tons early iu 1K71, is now but lJ,Oo-J touii.

Tho Itepubllcmi l'liitrorm. The following is tho platform of princi ples which wns unanimously adopted by tho Philadelphia Convention. It covers every important nntional question, nud will bo heartily endorsed by nil Republicans : Tho Kepublicnn parly of tho Uniicd States, assembled in Nntional Convention in tho city of Philadelphia, on tho 5th and 0th days of June, 1872, again declares its faith, appeals to its history, nnd announces its position upon Iho questions boforo tho country. First. During cloven years of supremacy it has accepted, with grand courage, tho solemn duties of the times ; it suppressed a gigantic rebellion, emancipated four mil lions of slaves, decreed tho equal citizen ship of nil, and established universal suf frage ; exhibiting unparalelled magnanim ity, it criminally punished no man for po litical offenses, and warmly welcomed all who proved their loyally by observing tho laws uud dealing .justly wilh their neigh bors ; it has steadily decided with firmness tho resultant disorders of a great war, and initiated ii wise anil humane policy toward tho Indian. The Pacific 1'ailroad and sim ilar vast enterprises have been generally aided and successfully conducted ; tho pub lic lands freely given to actual settlers ; em igration hasbeet) protected and encouraged, and fuil acknowledgment of the naturalized citizens' rights secured from Kuropctui iio.vers; a uniform national currency h.is been provided, repudiation frowned down, J the national ctedit sustained under extra ordinary burdcus, and new bonds negoti ated at. lower rales. Tho revenues have been carefully collected ami honestly ap plied, dc spilo annual largo reduction of the rates of taxation. Tho public debt has been reduced, during General Grant's Pres idency, nt the rate of a hundred millions a year ; great financial crises have been avoided, anil peace and plenty prevail throughout the land. Menacing foreign difficulties have been peacefully and honor ably composed, nnd tins honor aud power of tho nation kept it) hi.;h respect through out the world. This glorious record of t lit, past is the party's best recoul for the fu ture. Wo believe the people will not en trust the Government to any party or com bination of men composed chielly of tliosc who have resisted every step of this beui'li cial progress. Second. Completo liberty nnd exact equality iu the enjoyment of till civil, polit ical anil public rights, sic mid be established and effectually maintained throughout toe Union, by eliicicnt nnd appropriate State and fetlf nil legislation. Neither the law or its administration should admit of any dis crimination in respect of citizens by reason of race, creed, color, or previous condition of servitude. Third. The recent amendments to tho Nntional Constitution should bo cordially sustained because they are right not mere ly tolerated because they are lav. s should be carried out according to their spirit by I appropriate legislation, the euloivemeDt of, j which can safely be entrusted only to the parly that seemed tin s'! amendments. : Fourth. Tho National Government should seek to maintain honorable peace with all nations, protecting its citizens everywhere, and sy mpatliize with all peo ple who strive for greatci liberty. Fifth. Any system of civil service under which the subordinate positions of the Gov eminent are considered mere rewards for party zeal, is fatally demotalizing ; and we therefore favor a reform of the system by laws which shall abolish the evils of patro nage, and make honesty, efficiency and fidelity, without especially creating a life, tenure of olliee. Sixlh. We are opposed to future grants of lint public lands to corporations and mo nopolies, and demand that tho national do- ; main be set apart for free homes for the people. j Seventh. The annual revenues after pay ing current expenses, pensions and the in terest on tho public debt, should furnish a moderate balance for tho reduction of the principal, ami the revenue, except so much as may be derived from a tax upon tobac- I co and liquors, bo raised by duties upon ; importations in securing remunerative wages to labor ami protect the industry, 1 growth awl prosperity of the whole coun-! try. Eighth. We hold in undying honor the soldiers and sailors, whoso valor saved the l'nion. Their pensions are a sacred dtbt of the nation, ami the widows and orphans , l of those who died for their country are rn-. titled to the care of a generous and grateful I people. We favor such additional legisla tion as will extend the bounty nf the Gov ! ernment to all our soldiers ami sailors who were honorably discharged, and who, in the time of duty became disabled, without regard to the length of service or the cause of such discharge. ; Ninth. Tin', doctrine of Great lhit iin , and other European powers concerning ; allegiance once a subjcit always a subject having at last, through the efforts of the ! Republican party, been abandoned, and ; the American idea of the individual's right j ' to transfer allegiance having been accepted i I by European nations, it is the duly of our Government to guard with jealous fare the , I right of adopted citizens against the as- j sumption "f unauthorized claims by their j i firmer governments, and we urge continual , careful encouragement and protection of j i voluntary immigration. ! I Tenth." The franking privilege ought to i I be abolished, and the way prepared for a j ! speedy reduction in the rales nf postage, j Eleventh. Among '.he questions which j press for attention is that which concerns i i the n lation of capital and labor, and lho I Republican party recognizes the duty of so i shaping legislation as to secure lull protee- ! lion and the amplest field for capital, nnd ! i for labor, the creator of capital, tin' lirgist ! j opportunities anil a just share of mutual! I profits of these two groat servants of civili zation. 1 Twelfth. Wo bold that Congress nnd the President have only fulfilled u imper ative duty in their measures for the sup pression of violent and treasonable organi zations in certain lately rebellious regions, and for tho protection of the ballot-box. nnd therefore thev are entitled lo the thanks j of the nation. Thirteenth. We prouounee rcpudintior. of tho public debt in any form or disguise al a national crime. We witness with nrido the reduction of the principal of the debt and of the rales of interest upon the balance, nnd confidently expect that our excellent national currency will be perfect, ed by a speedy rcsuinpliou of specie pny mem. Fourteenth. Tho Republican party is mindful of its obligation to the loyal wo men of America for their noble devotion to tliu cause nf freedom. Their wide Held of ! usefulness is viewed with satisfaction, and 1 hr.eft dsunB'ij cf aoy i'isi- of e'.tiz?c f:r additional rights should bo treated with re spectful consideration. Fifteenth. Wo heartily Approve tho ac tion of Congress iu extending amnesty to those lately in rebellion, nnd rejoice In tho growth of peace aud fraternal feeling throughout the laud. Sixteenth. Tho Kepublicnn parly pro pose to rcsjioct the rights reserved by tho people to themselves ns carefully us tho powers delegated by them to tho State ami tho Federal (Jovemment ; it disapproves of the resort to uuconslitulioiinl laws for the purpose of removing evils by iiitcrfer cneo with rights not surrendered by tho people to cither tho State or National Gov ernment. Seventeenth. It is the duty of the gener al Government to adopt such measures ns may tend to encourage und restore Ameri can commerce and chip-building. Eighteenth. Wo believe that the modest patriotism, the earnest purpose, the sound judgment, the practical wisdom, tho incor ruptible integrity and (lie illustrious ser vices of Ulysses S. Grant have commended him to the hearts of too Americau people, and wilti him at our head wc start to-day upon a new march to victory. "1omi:o," the famous monster elephant whopo exploits have gone out through tho lt-nglh and breadth of the. land, died in Chicago recently. Ho had been ailing for several weeks, his disease being located in the fore feet, which from eotno unknowti I cause, had become affected with intlamma i lion, resulting in actitu pain and a general debilitation of the system, the effect of which had been noticed by a rapid waste of flesh. An operation was performed, upon llieni a few days previous, but tho inflam mation continued to extend toward tho breast, resulting in his death, as slated.
