discovered the most certain, spocdy, pleasant and
effectual remedy In the world for nil
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.

Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, Involun

Spirits, Confusion 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 thoso
secret and solitary practices more fatal to their
victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, &c., Impos
sible. IOUNG MEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of young men of the most exalted
talents and brilliant Intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or waked to ecstacy the
living lyre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating
marriage, nwaro of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Procrentive Power Itnpotencv), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner

ORGANIC WEAKNESS,
Impotcncy, Loss of Power, immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences.
Young persousnre too apt to commit excesses
from not being nwaro of the dreadful conseqenccs
that may ensue. Now, who vhat understands
the subject will pretend to deny tbst tho power
of procreation is lost sooner by those rilling into
improper habits than by the prudent I Besides
being deprived tho pleasures of healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms to both
body and mind arise. The system becomes de
ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Procrentive Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of t lie Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trifling month after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
should apply immediately.

Around this lovely valley rise
Tho purple bills of paradise.
Oh, softly on your banks of har.e
Her rosy faco for summer lays.
Bscalmed along the azure eky.
The argosies of clnudland lie,
Whose shore, with many a shining rift,
Far off their pearl white peaks uplift.
Through all the long midsummer day
The meadow sides aio sweet with hay,
I seek the coolest sheltered sent,
Just where tho field and forest meet
Where grow the pine trees tall nuil bland,
The ancient oaks austere and grand,
And frlngy roots and pebbles fret
The ripple of the rivulet.
I watch the mowers as they go
Through the tall grass a white-sleeved row-;
With even strokes their scythes they swing,
In tune tho merry whetstones ring
Behind the nlmhfc youngsters run
And they toss thick swaths in the sun j
The cattle graze, while warm and still,
Slopes the broad pasture, basks the hill.
And bright, w hen summer breezes break,
And green wheat crinkles like a lake.
The butterfly and humble bee
Come to tho pleasant wood with me
Quickly before me runs the quail,
The chickens skulk behind I ho rail,
High up tlio lono wood pigeon sits,
And the. woodpecker pecks and flits ;
Sweet woodland music sinks and swells,
The brooklet rings its tingling hells,
The swarming insects drone and hum,
The partridge beats his thioblng drum,
The squirrel leaps among tho boughs,
And chatters in his leafy house,
The oriole flashes by, and look !
Into the mirror of the brook.
Where the blue bird turns Ids coat,
Two tiny feathers fall and float.
As silently, ns tenderly,
The dawn of peace descends on me.
Oh, this is peace ! I have no need
Of friends to walk, or bonk to read,
A dear companion hc.irc abides ;
Close, to my thrilling heart ho hides.
The holy silence In his voice :
I lie ami listen, and rejoice.

YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by a ccrtirin prac
tice indulged in when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or nt school, the
elloets of which arc nightly felt, even when
asleep, und If not cured, renders marriage iiuiios
sible, ami destroys both mind and body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hopcor his
country, the darling of bis parents, should be
snatched from all prospects und enjoyments ol
life, by the consequence of deviating from tlio
path of nature und indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons MfsT, before contemplating
MAURlAGK,
reflect that a sound mind und body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through
life becomes u way pilgrimage t the prospeia
hourly darkens to the view ; tho mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with themelau
choly reflection, t hut the happiness of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure linds that he has Imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often unpiens that an
ill-llineil sense oi snaine, or ureuu ui uwjiji
deters him from uppl)lng to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend

deafness, nodes on tlio shin bones und arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
public of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
In, and tho victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful siitlering, by seudiug
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
uu traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fuel that thousands Dir.
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
Into tho hauds of Ignorant or unskilliul rtlfc,
TENDERS, who, by tho use of that deadly Pol

"Let her have it," said tho jailor, ns my

A Letter to HI Friends.
From the Bellefontc Republican, Sept. It.
Tho following letter addressed to Gen.
James A. Beaver and others named below,
and handed to us by tho first named gen
tleman for publication, so clearly and em
phatically defies tho positiou of our esteem
ed fellow-townsman, Gov. Curtiu, as to
silence tho guns of the Liberal Democracy,
and close the mouths of his cnemys fote
evcr. It is to be regretted that tho pre
carious state of Gov. Curtin's health pre
vents him frotu accepting tho nomination,
as ho was the unanimous choice of the
people of this county, and as wo are assur
ed, of tho entire district for this oflicc.

Wm. P. Wilson, Gkd. M. Yoccm.
Gk.vtlemex : I have been so prostrat
ed by illuess, since my return, that I have
not attempted correspondence, and letters
received reniaiu unanswered.
My physician has peremptorily forbid
den me to confer with my friends upon any
subject at present, and 1 am now compelled
to write by an ninauuensis. Your letter
advising me of the unanimous action of the
Republicans of my native county, present
ing me as a candidate for Congress, was
received several days since, and I have re
ceived letters and telegrams from tho other
counties of tho district, assuring mo of the
i general desire to present my name as a
j candidate for that ollioe. .Such an
' expression of confidence and devotion
; coming from the people who know me best,
i i r ' ...i T ..I ;..l. .1.- -..-i -C
alio ior w iioni a cuei isu mo euuimest in
lection, inovea me with profoundest grati
tude, and will be cherished among the
most grateful memories of my life.
When the conflicts of ambition and the
exacting cares of ofiicial life have given
place to the supremo desire for the rest and
tmiet of homo and neighbors, your kind
welcome on my return calls for the since-
test expression of my thanks, liut inde
pendent of my indisposition to enter the po
litical canvas as a candidate and the cen
tre of a fierce political struggle of the issues
involved in the contest, it is impossible for
me to accept tho honor you propose to con
fer upon me. My broken health forbids it,
and its adinoiiilions 1 must respect.
Jo pleased, therefore, to convey to my
friends in Centre county, and the other
counties of the Congressional district, who
iu their kind-partiality have thought of
me as a candidate, my many thanks and
declination. I herewith present a note
from Dr. AVillard Parker to Mrs. Curtin.
You notice his opinion is very decided, and
vou know quite well how eminent ho is i
liis profession. 1 am encouraged by Dr.
Parker to hope that after a little while of
absolute rest, skillful medical treatment,
and freedom from care ami excitement, I
mav become Mjoii" iui,,,'h V --
convictions nre well settled and will be
frankly und fully expressed when I am able
to do so with justice to niyseu.
Yours truly, A. (I. Currix.
The following is the letter of Dr. Wil'.ard
Parker, an eminent Pliysiciau of N. York
city, to Mrs. Gov. Curtiu :
Nkw York, Sept. 0, 1S72.
To .Vr.L 7 or. Curtin :
My Dear Madam : In answer to your
inquiry, I would say that the Governor is
111 SUCH a COUUlllou oi mum uuu uuuj,
that without absolute rest and freedom
from excitement, ho can never recover.
Dr. Throop, of Scrauton, Pennsylvania,
who saw Ciov. Curtin with me, in consul
tation, on Wednesday, fully concurred in
this opinion.
Very truly yours,
WiLLAttD Parker.
Curiosities of Animal Life. There
can bo no doubt, writes Mr. Darwin, that
dogs feel slm mo ns distinct from fear, and
something very liko modesty, when beg
ging for food. A great dog scorns the
snarling of a utile dog, and this mav on
called magnanimity. Several observers
had stated that monkeys certainly disliked
being laughed at, as they sometimes in
vent imaginary offences. In the Zoologi
cal Gardens I saw a baboon that always
got into a furious rage when his keeper
took out a letter or book and read it aloud
to him, and his rago was so violont that, ns
I witnessed on otic occasion, he bit his
own leg till tlio blood flowed.
All animals feel wonder ; and many ex
hibit curiosity, the latter affording oppor
tunity for hunters, in ninny parts of the
world, to decoy tho game into their power.
The faculty of' imitation, so strongly deve
loped in man, especially in a babarous slate,
is present in monkeys. A certain bull
terrier of our acquaintance, when ho wish
es to go out of tho room, jumps at tho han
dle of tho door, and grasps it with his
paws, nltbougu lie cannot turn the linndle.
Parrots also reproduce with wonderful
fidelity tho lours of different speakers, and
puppies reared by cats have been known
to lick their feet and wash their faces after
the manner of their foster mothers.
Attention and memory are also present
in the lower animals, and it is impossible I
to deny that the dreams ot dogs and horses
show presence of imagination or a certain
show of reason is present. Animals like
wise profit by experience, as any man real
izes who sels traps. The young arc much
more easily caught than the old, and the
adults gain caution by seeing the fate of
those who nre caught. Tools are also used
by some of tho higher apes. Tho chim
panzee uses a stone to crack a nut resem
bling a walnut, and the Abyssinian bab
oons fight troops of another species, and
roll down stones iu tho attack before they
finally close iu hand-to-hand encounter.
The idea of common property Is common
also to every dog with a hone, to all birds
with their nests, and notably in the case of
rooks. Nor can a certain kind of language
be denied to the brute. The dog commu
nicates his feelings by barks of different
tones, which undoubtedly raise in his fel
low dogs ideas similar to those passing in
his own mind. Edinbuni Jlcvute.

There is a slight reticence on the part of
the sorehead uud copperheaded journals in
coming to an explanation anil defence of the
vilo and venal record of Mr. Charles K.
Puekalew.
It is charged, and wo challenge success
ful contradiction, thatChas. H. liuckalcw,
as a legislator, in open antagonism to old
established und clearly Democratic princi
ple, has advocated and unstained "special
l.-fi&hition" in the interests of nionied mo
nopolies and corrupt corporal ions.by which
and through which bribery has been en
couraged and venality prospered at tne
Capital of this Common wealth.
It is charged, and we challenge success
ful contradiction, that Charles liuckalcw,
favored and was ready to support Alexan
der K. McClure's pet project to steal Nine
Millions of Stale lionds from the Statu
Treasury in tlio interest of the Pennsylva

IiKAitDED Wheat Straw Dangerous
TO Stole. A l'ruine Farmir corres
pondent writes: It has been discovered
that when stock has had free access to
bearded wheat straw, the beards have work
ed around the lips and gums, causing
swelling, ulceration nnd looseness of the
teeth. A neighbor informed me that he
discovered in the fore part of the winter
that his sheep were not doing well, and
upon examination found their mouths so
much injured from this catiso that he was
unable to brim; thorn up to good condition
Another neighbor iost a valuable
colt from the same cause. A farmer was

difficulty was discovered, but too late, lie

trulv found tliat beards hail collected, form
ing quite a massive ball, near tin entrance t
to the body, and beards had worked off' into j
the throat'pipe, causing inflammation and ,
ulceration to such an extent as to cause j
death. I'pon comparing notes, wo are ;
satisfied that this has been the source of
much damage to stock, heretofore uiiae-1
countable. Hefereneo is made to several j
cases where stock has died ot been dam-
aged, and which now seems plainly to Have
been caused by wheat beards. .
Pact in Grape Culture. We would
mention a fact which has come within our
observation and experience, which, if gen
erally true, is of some importance. It is
this. That the fruit bud from the base of
the last year's cane throws out larger
and better developed grapes than cither the
first or second. Tho grapes from these
buds seem also better flavored, and gener
ally superior to those ou the first and sec
ond. I n accordance with this hiut we have
adopted the plan of rutting the cane at such
length ns to leave the thirtl hud, generally,
and sometimes the fourth, when a good
strong one, ami then rubbing off tho first
and second buds, and leaving the third and
fourth for fruit. If the vines are strong
and vigorous at three years, from two to
llir'e bunches of grapes may be allowed to
Swappino Houses. A Kcntockiatt and
a Ynnkeu wero once riding through tho
woods, tho former on a fine black horse,
and the Yankee on an inferior animal. Tho
latter wanted to ninko a "swop," but lid
did not see how ho wns to do it. At last
he thought of a plan. His horso had been
taught to sit down like a dog whenever ho
was touched by tho spurs. Seeing a wild
turkey, the Yankee made his horse per
form tlio trick, and asserted that ho was
pointing his game, ns was his custom.' Tho
Kcntuckian rode in the direction indicated
by the horse's nose, aud up rose a turkey.
That settled tho matter; tho frado was
made, and saddles and horses Were chang
ed. After a lime Ihoy came lo a deep and ra
pid stream, over which the black horsd
carried the rider with case, liut the Kcn
tuckian, on the Yankee's old bcust, found
great difficulty in getting over, aud whett
he had reached the middle of tho stream,
he whs afraid the horso would allow him
self to bo carried away, and so endeavored
lo spur him up lo more vigorous action;
Down sal the horso on his haunches,
"Look a here 1" shoiiUxl tho enraged anil
partially submerged Keutuckian to tho
Yankee on tho other side of tho stream,
"what does this mean ?''
"I want you to know, stranger," cried
the Vaukee. preparing to ride away, "that
there boss will pint lish just as Well as lid
will fowl."
Most country neighbotiloods are afflict
ed with a family of detrimentals, the mem
bers of which aro a pest and a nuisance to
everybody in tlio vicinity ; and when peo
ple of this sort affect excessivo piety, onil
practice their knavery under cover of re
ligion, tho infelicity of the situation is
grea'Jy exasperated. In a small Connecti
cut viilago there resided a few years since
a family of the name of Perry, tho mora
bcrs of which wera marked by all the tlia
ngreable characteristics above indicated;
They were artful, adroit, and while perpe
trating all sorts of small rogueries, and
making themselves generally offensive, hail
the address to avoid coming in direct con
flict with tlie penal statues. On one occa
sion the neighborhood aforesaid was visit
ed with a religious awakening, a peripate
tic revivalist having succeeded in arousing
the sleepy inhabitants lo a sense of tho in
curity oi' their spiritual condition. Pre
sently the news got bruited about that tho
spirit of grace had visited tho the Perrys.
"Father, father," cried a lad to his pa
rent "they say old Perry litis caught tho
revival."
"I shouldn't wonder." he replied, "ami
I presume it will go through the family ;
but they will have it light."
And they did.
