which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of youne men of the most exalted

MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating

and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing All'ection which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible Is the penally
paid by the victims of improper Indulgences.
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful consciences
that may ensue. Now, who that understands I
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lust sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent ? Besides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms to both
body aud mind nrise. The system becomes de
ranged, the Physical uud Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of .Proerealive Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,

taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
should apply Immediately.

nervousness, being ularmed tit sudden sounds,
bnshluiness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were c ured
immediatclv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have IiijimhI
themselves by improper indulgence und solitary
habits, viliich ruin both body and mind, untitling
them for cither busiucss, study, society or mar
riage. '1 lies u nre some of the sad and melancholy
effects f reduced bv early habits of youth, viz':
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness of Siirht, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the. Heart, Dyspepsy, I
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Diiritive '.
Functions, Geucrul Debility, hymptotns of Cuu- ,
sumption, tVc.
Mentally The fearful effects on the mind
nre much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con- j
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil- !
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of isulitude, Timidity, ifcc, are some of the i
evils produced.
Titoi sAMis of persons or ull nues can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous i
aud emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of ujusuiup- '
lion. ;
YOUNG MEN j
Who have injured themselves by a certain prae- ;
ticc indulged iu when alone, a habit frciiiiently I
learned from evil companions, or at school, the j
etleels of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud if not cured, renders marriage iuipos- j
sible, and destroys both luiud and body, should '
apply immediately. j
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, tlie darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of '
life, by the consequence of deviating from the I
path of nature uud Indulging in u certain secret
habit. Mich persons m' st, lielore contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body arc the mo-t
necessary lequisileg to promote couuubial h.ippi- j
iicss. Indeed without these, the journey through '
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect I
hourly darkens to the view; the luiud becomes i
shadowed with despair aud tilled with tlieuielau- I
choly reflection, that the happiness of uuother j
becomes blighted Willi our own. j
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of i
pleas. ire finds thai he has Imbibed the seeds of I
tliis painful disease, it too often happens that an
iil-timcd sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education und respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the const itutiur.al symptoms ut
ttiis horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noclural
pains in the head und limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones und arms,
blotches on t lie head, lace and extremities, pro
trresslns with Iriulitlul rapiility, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the hones ot the nose tall
lu, ami the victim ot tins uwlal disease lieeouics
a horrid object of coinmisc raiiou, till death puts
a period to his dreadful sulfering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from heucc
no traveller leturus. '
It is a inc'anclioly fact that thousands I1K
victims to t III-- terrible disease, through falliui;
Into the hands of lguoraut or unskillful 1'KK
TENliF.RS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, &c., destroy the constitution, aud
incapable of curiui:, keep the uuhappy sutlercr

jurious compounds, and iuslead of being resiuied

pair leave him with ruined Health to sia over
his galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable becrecr, uud
from his extensive practice aud observullous lu
the great Hospitals of Europe, uud the tirst in
this country, viz : Falkland, France, Philadelphia
uud elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer

Kittle Ticket.
From Washington Republican, June 19.
It is well knowu that Republican asso
ciations exist in tho district, composed of
'residents of tho States, anions whom are
many of the most active politicians of the
country. We propose from time to time to
publish tho acliou of theso associations,
which may be regarded as a fair expression
of the people of the States.
Last night the Pennsylvania association
passed the following resolutions, indorsing
Grant and Wilson :
Whereas, tho National Republican Con
vention, held at rhila-lclphta on the 5th
and Clh instant, in its regularly constituted
and organized capacity, nominated for
President Ulysses S. Grunt, of Illinois, and
for Vice President Henry Wilsou, of Mas
sachusetts ; and
Whereas, the said convention established
cerlaiu cardinal principles as tho ground
work of our party superstructure, and to
which it pledged the fealty of the loyal, pa
triotic and law abiding people of the land ;
and
Wheieus, it is proper and in accordance
with time-honored custom, that tho people
subscribe to and ratify the action of those
who have carried out in good faith the
conventional powers delegated to them ;
Therefore;,
JUfoh cil, That the Pennsylvania Repub
lican Association at Washington city, 1).
C, composed, ns it is, of members from
every cmiutv, aud identified with every so
cial, political and commercial interest of
our
ami
;rcat Commonwealth, lit n uy ratines
seals with its approbation both the
i nominees and tho platform of principles of
j the Philadelphia convention ; and that
: while accepting the theory that "men are
nothing, aud principles everything," we
will sj devote our time, talents and cner-
gies, to the advancement of boih, that at
! the end of another administration the great
mission of the Republican party will have
been so fa r accomplished that it can be
said to the world the L'nited States have
j.at'Y under 1. S. Grant.
llcwlvul. That Gun. I'. S. Graut, by his
valor as a soldier, by his signal success as
a general of our armies, by his achieve
ment of victories which redeemed the coun
try from the thraldom of a terrible and
bloody war which thretiti'tlotl our liberties,

I trembling throughout its lennth aud breadth
i lt'iim the suicidal policy of au apostate
! President, was entitled to tho Presidency
of the United Stales for four years and re

i 'crests not only of the Republican party,
I cut of the country at large, his honest and
j faithful collection of the public revenues
I and prompt reduction of the national debt.
! able und economical administration of all
the executive functions of the Government,
j entitle him to four years more. So many
i good turns for the people deserve two good
turns from the people.
Jicanhul, That under the leadership of
Grant and Wilson, Pennsylvania will da
1 her whole duty in tho ptesent campaign,
. and give no uncertain sound in October as
j to how the I'liiou shall go iu November,
i I'nder such leadership we arc safe, because
j they have "no policy to enforce against the

StiAiti. A few days siueo ono of our
popular attorneys called upon nuother
member of tho profession, aud asked his
opinion upon a certain point of law. Tho
lawyer to whom tho question was address
ed, drew himself up and said : "I generally
1 get paid for telling what I know." The
questioner drew a halt a dollar ' fractional"
from his pocket, handed it to tho other,
aud coolly remarked : "Tell mo all you
know and give mo tho change." There is
coldness between tho parties now.
Findino A Vkudict. In 0110 of tho
earliest trials before a colored jury in
Texas, twelve gentlemen were told by the
Judge to retire and "lind a verdict." They
went to tho jury-room. Tho sheriffs and
others standing outside heard tho 0euing
aud shutting of drawers, the slamming of
doors, aud other sounds of unusual commo
tion. At last the jury came back into the
court, when the foreman rose aud said :
"Massa Judge, wa have done looked
everywhar in the drawers and behind the
do', and can't found no verdic'. It warn't
in de room."

AVilAT TO DO IV A Case OF Sl'NSTHOKK.
Now that th(! true nature of the, disease
is known, the method of treatment becomes
most obvious, and we learn not merely
what to do, but also whtu not to do. As
heat is the cause of the symptoms, common
sense points to the abstraction of the heat
in some way as the mode of cure. Aud
hero iiifitin vivisection comes iuto play. 1
have taken au animal, comatose, paralyzed
by heat, apparently dying, and plunged it
into a bucket of cold water. The tempera
ture of Ihe sufferer at once rapidly fell un
til it reached the normal point, and just in
proportion that of the water in the bucket
rose. As the animal eooV'd, its respira
tions became more regular, the unsteady
whirl of the heart was stilled, bv-und-by
the eyelids Were lifted, find out from the
glassy eye came the beams of new life. If
tho period of unconsciousness had beeu
short, the mutual was iu a few hours ap
parently as well as ever ; if long, the ani
mal would recover sufficiently to recognize
its surroundiuL's and to struggle for release,
hut when allowed to escape, the paralyzed
limbs and the slow, imperfect progression
indicated the profound injury tin; nervous
system had received, aud in a few hours
the animal would be dead.
The lessons of these experiment are too
plain to be overlooked. Whatever is to be
done in this disease must be done quickly.
Clinical as well as experimental observation
enforces this doctrine. There should, in
such cases, bo no waiting for tho doctor.
The remedy is so simple, the death so im
minent, that the good Samaritan passing
by should savo his brother. Tho good Sa
maritan must, however, have a cool head
to be useful. Sol every man that fulls un
conscious on a hot day has sunstroke.
Tnere is, fortunately, one criterion so easy
of application that any ono can use it. Go
at ouco to tho fallen man, opeu his shirt
bosom, aud lay tho hand upou Ids chest ;
if the skin be cool rest assured that, what
ever may to the troub!';, it is uot sunstroke.
If, ou the contrary, tho skiu be burning
hot, the case is certainly sunstroke, and no
time should bo lost. The patient must bo
carried to the nearest pump or hydrant,
stripped to his waist, and bucketful after
bucketful of cold water be dashed over hiui
until consciousness begins to return or the
intense heal of tho surface decidedly abates.

Wood, Jr., M. U., in the July number of

From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald. 1
Yesterday, in Ono of tho Catholic
churches in this city, there was celebrated
a marriage in which John llollzman and
Catherine Mela were made one. There is
not much in the simple announcement, yet
thereby hangs a tale which wo give to our
readers as it was told us by a friend of the
bridegroom. During the war between
Prussia and France, llollzman was one
of thoso who was bound to render service
to his country. Ho was engaged to bo
married to n girl named Catherine Met,
and not liking tho idea of exposing his val
uable person to tho bullets of the French
men, ho conceived the idea of emigrating to
a country where ho need not become a bold
soldier utiles ho wished. Uutthen a little
pecuniary difficulty presented itself, lie
hadn't the means to pay his passage out of
the country, und in his extremity he ap
plied to his liance. She had, wit!-, an eye
to some day keeping house with llollzman,
saved up her wages, and fortunately had in
her possession at that time about J?20'J.
This she freely gave to her lover, who bade
her a fond farewell and secured a passage
for America. Gradually he worked his
way to this city, but fjiU'tie winch he
courted so sedulously, never smiled on him
and he liesran to despair of ever being able
to scud for his "Dolly VardenT or return
ing to consummate the vows he had spoken,
lie wrote to this effect, and ou Saturday
last was nereeably surprised by receiving a
telegram from her dated in New York, in
forming him of her arrival there, and her
intention to immediately come to St. Jo
seph. She arrived hero yesterday morn
ing, and ere noon the happy couple were
made one. She had paid "her own way
from tho old country, and besides brings
him money enough with her to buy tho ne
cessary furniture to bcuin housekeeping
with. " Such devotion ought to meet with
its reward, and we hope the newly umriied
couple may never regret their action.
Se.vsiuli: Talk aisoi.'t an Ansrtti)
CfsTOM. If I could persuade fill theyoung
people of Klmira never to treat each other,
nor be treated, 1 think one-half of the dan
ger from our strong drink would bo gone.
If I canuot get you to sign the total absti
nence pledge, binding until you are twenty
five, I would be glad to have you promise
three things : First never to drink on the
sly, alone ; second, never to drink socially,
treating or being treated ; third, wheu you
drink, do it openly, and in tho presence of
sonic man or woman whom you respect.
Now, boys, if you wish to be generous
and treat each oilier, why not select some
other shop beside the liquor shop 't Sup
pose, as you go by the post-office, you say,
"Come, boys, come in and take some
stamps.'' These stamps wiil do your
friends a real good, and will cost you no
more than drinks all round. Or go by the
tailor's store and say : "Hoys, come, iu and
take a box of collars." Walk up to the
counter, free and generously, .and s.iy,
"What style will you haver" Why not
treat to collars as well us treat to drinks V
or go by a confectioner's and proper to
treat to chocolate drops all round ? or say,
"I'll stand a j.tckkuife all round "f
How does it happen that we have fallen
into a habit, almost compulsory, of social
drinking? You drink many a time when
asked to, when really you do not want to.
When a man has treated you, you feel
mean and indebted, and keep a sort of ac
count current in your mind, and treat him.
And so in the use of just that agent, which
at the very best is a dangerous one, you
join hand iti hand to help each other to
ruin, instead of hand in hand to help each
other to temperance. Thos. K. Jludtcr.
The Laiiok Movement. The serious
ness of tin; labor troubles in New York,
may be understood from the fact that the
eight-hour movement has spread from one
trade to another until the hosts numbor
many thousands, who have resolved to
stop work unless the hours be reduced.
Kumors of threats and violence had been
rife, not only towards laborers who refused
to participate in the strikes, but iu one in
stance aginst employers mid capitalists.
One man, who prolesscs to speak for the
eight-hour strikers, announces in the col
umns of a city paper that, rather than give
in to tho ten hours, "wo would hazard our
lives and lay their (the employers') facto
ries and houses iu aslics." Jt is not at all
probable that this ferocious individual rep
resents the spirit of his associates, and the
executive committee of the eight-hour
league repel sill such spirit and acts. The.
declared purpose is by fair means, iu a
general movement, to bring such inilui uee
to bear upon it islaloisas will induce them
to constitute eight helirs the legal day's
work in the Slate of New York, as ilia now
iu the I'niled .Slates government mechani
cal employments. Tlarc should he, there
fore, no need of the police of the citv ol
New York to repress disorder, as has been I
the case tn a lew instances.
The contagion of strikes has extended to
Philadelphia, where the strikers have riseii
i against muse wtio cotiirot ttie gas woi ks oi
that city, and, according to the Philadel
phia iVt.v.', have the sympathies of the en
tire community. The strike originated
from and order charging the workmen for
their tools a straw which apparently
broke.
"DAT Iit Goor." As a genfleinati
from New York was taking a glass of wine
at the St. Louis, corner of Freeman aud
Hopkins street, Cincinnati, a short lime
since, ho observed at another tabic, seated
with several others, a del man who s 'cnicd
uucasy and anxious, us if there might have
been a Franco-Prussian distiirbauco be
tween his beer and himself. Presently in
ran a little girl, her face radiant with
smiles, exclaiming :
"Oh, father 1 we've got a little baby at
home."
"Dat Uli goot," said the Dutchman, ns
the anxiety disappeared froiu his counte
nance ; "lill up der glasses."
Not many minutes elapsed before in
rushed the little girl again with tho an
nouncement :
"Oh, father ! we've got fico liitk 60 at
home !
Tho Dutehtnau looked a goud deal as
tonished and not at all gratified at this lit
tle family xedundancy, but rising ot length
to the magnitude of the occasion, he said :
"Veil den dal ish also goot. Fill up der
glasses. "
In a few minutes agaiu appeared the ra
diant messenger, with the aslouudiujj proc
lamation :
"Oh, father ! we've got thrte Utile boy at
home 1"
This was too much even for Teutouie
impossibilities.
"Veil, den," says he, "Itjoes ujt dare
and ftry der whnlt kim jiitneta."

A Kemarltuble Prophecy.
The following, which is kuown as 'Moth
er Shipton's Prophesy,' was lirst published
in 14SS, aud republished in 1641. It will
bo noticed that all tho events predicted in
it, except that mentioned in the last two
lines which is still in tho future have al
ready como to pass :
Carriages without horses shall go,
And Occidents fill the world with woe.
Around tho world thoughts Bhall fly
In the twinkling of au eye.
Waters shall yet more wonders do ;
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold bo found nt root of tree.
Through hills men shall ride,
And U'J horse or ass nt his side.
T'uder water men shall walk ;
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
lu air men shall be seen,
Iu white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall lloat,
As easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and found
lu a land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit a Jew.
Tho world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred aud eighty-one.
Mcli.su. There is a man out iu Oregon
who has a mule. A few days ago he was
driving tho animal across tlic prairie, when
it suddenly stopped. Tho man left his
wagon and attempted to induce that uiulo
to move on, but without success. Ilobeat
it, he coaxed it, nnd he cussed it, but it re
fused to budge, lie lied lire crackers to
its tail and exploded them, but tho mulu
merely turned its head iu a sort of languid
way, examined the lire works, and calmly
winked at the man. Then the man thought
he would build a lire under the mule ; but
as fast as Uc. would kit.ilU'. ,i lire tho mule,
standing firm upon three lc's, reached
over with its other leg and ' kicked tho
flames out. Then he t're His hair and
swore the man did and he rushed to tho
wagon und got twelve pounds of gunpow
der, and he dug n hoie under that mule and
built a mine. Tie n he covered up tho
chargn nnd laid a slow match, and stood
off it little I'ieco while he lit it. There was
a rumble, a roar, then a terriiie explosion ;
and amid th' cloud of dust nnd upheaved
rocks, the mule was observed to throw his
biud legs iu the air and support itself upou
its fore feet in that position until the blast
was over, when it quietly assumed its old
attitude and a gentle feature, as it p rceived
its master lying dowu groaning and curs
ing tho day on which he was hirn. It was
of no use. The man weut home.

C'rniNu Hay. In regard to the curing
of hay the Jnn-n't! nf the Farm remarks as
follows : "Willi their carefully prepared
roots and herbs, many of our mothers or
grandmothers could as well alleviate tho
ills of humanity its cau many of eoUega-
bred M. D.'s ; but note with what euro
those roots and herbs were gathered and
prepared. That ihey might retain ail.their
virtues they weie invariably cured ii the
I sli x-.lf. Now we, f.s fanners, may learn
j from this a lesson of w'udoin and practical
j utility, a applied to the hay field. Cure
I iu the shade, versus m ike hay while tho
; sun shines. Now the question arises,
which ot these two antagonistic principles
or maxims shall we follow ; certainly, after
due reflection, all will admit I hat hay cured
iu the shade is superior to '.hat cured in
the sun, whereas the former method re
quires mere labor than the latter. In an
swer to the above interrogations both tho
price of hay uud the price of labor must ba
taken into consideration ; therefore, in
general, we reply : if labcr is plenty and
hay commanding large prices, cure in thn
shade ; but if labor is high and hay at low
figures, cure in the sun. There are also
other matters to be taken into account.
Thus a large crop of clover should invaria
bly be cut and partially wilted, gathered
up in hay-cocks of suitable size and allowed
to sweat a day or two ; then oiK'ii the same
and, after au hour's exposure to the sun, it
will be in most excellent condition to store
away for winter's te. Therefore cure
clover in the shade or cock, not simply be
cause the sweating procuc is so highly
beneficial tj this particular grass, but be
cause, if the crop be laige.it will require,
to sufficiently cure it, at least one or two
days' exposure to the sun, nndf as a matter
of ucccsity, exposing it to the night dew,
and possibly loan unexpected rain slorm.
Now, as a hot sun i particularly injurious
to clover, and moisture, as dew or rain, far
more so, therefore clover, at least, should
be treated iu the maimer above des'-ribcd,
or cured in the shade. Avoid Ihu very
common and injurious practice of over-curing
the hay. If the grass is matured when
cut, nnd does not gel wet, it will l..; sulli
ciently dried or cured in trout two to four
hours iu favorable weat hi r, clover early
cut an I lodged grasses being, of courae, ex
ceptions." Gr.AKnxu Wax. This is an nrlielu
that every farmer should keep on hand,
ready for use v.iu new e neeiicd, for it is
valuable for many purposes Iv.ides that of
grafting, and, as a correspondent of the
Massachusetts 1'lnii.niaa lem.ul-, v.ouuds
made iu pruning; large trees will heal over
much sooner if coated with this wax, aud
if a piece of bark is accidentally etnpped
from a tree, the place should be covered
over with it, and the wood will temaiu
sound aud luallhy underneath. Thcreorj
several recipes for preparing this wax, and
I have found the following better than any
other one tried : Melt in a basiu one pound
of l.illow, two pounds of beeswax ami four
pounds of rosin ; stir well together, and
keep in n cool place in the ilisli in which it
was invited. It beeswax is a very costly
item, u one-third less quantity can le used.
This wax is moot excellent tor treating tho
corks of bottles whose contents are desired
to be air-tight, and lor covering cloths to
tie over preserve jars. It can bo inched
over when required for use, and it will
spread with a kuile- upou bandages, etc.,
and is the best sealing was thai cau bo
used for many purpuw s.
Cauk of Calves. A celebrated Irish
farmer gives this advice to one young in
the business : "As a breeder you must bo
careful not to lose the cull' flesh. If you d,o
so by starving l ho animal at any time of
his growth you loose the cream the cover
ing of llesh so much prized by all our retail
butchers. Where do all the scraggy, bad
tleshed beast come from that we dai y see
in our fa', markets, and what is the cause
of their seragaineas 't It is because they
have stinted uud starved at some period of
their growth. If the calf flesh is ouco lost
it can never be regniued. A cilat deal of
tallow may be got iutcrually by high feed
ing, but the auitnal cau never again be
inude oue that wiil Lc prized by the great
retail belcher."
