JOHNSTON, Thyslclnn of this celebrated Institution, has discovered the most certain, stmcdy, pleasant nnd cffcctnnl remedy In the world for all DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE. Weakness of the Back or Limbs, Strictures, A fleet inns of Kidneys nnd Bladder, Involun tary Discharges, Impotency, General Debili ty, Nervousness, Dyspepsy, Languor, Low Spirits, Confusion of Ideas, Palpitation of the Heart, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimness of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of the Head, Throat, Noso or Skin, Affections of Liver, Lungs, Stomnch or Bowels these terrible Disorders arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those 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, Ac., Impos sible. VOUNG MEN especially, w ho have become the victims of Soli tary Vice, that dreadful nnd destructive habit which annually sweeps to nn untimely grave thousands of young men of the most exalted talents nnd brilliant intellect, who might other wise have entranced listening Senates Kith the thunders of eloquence or wnked to ccstacy the living lyre, may call with full confidence. MARRIAGE. Married Persons or Young Men contemplating marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss of Procrcatlve Power Impotency), Nervous Ex citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner vous Debility, or any oilier DisqualiUcatlon, speedily relieved. He who places himself under the cure of Dr. J. may religiously confide lu ills honor ns a gentle man, and conlldcntly rely unon his skill nsu Phv sielau. ORGANIC WEAKNESS, Impotency, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured nnd full Vigor Restored. This Distressing All'ectlon which renders Life miserable and marriage impossible Is the penalty paid by the victims of improper indulgences. Young pcrsonBiiro too apt to commit excesses from not being aware of the dreadful conscqenecs that may 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 tho prudent t Besides being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring, the most serious and destructive symptoms to both body nnd mind arise. The system becomes de ranged, tho Physical nnd Mental Functions Weakened, Loss of Procrcatlve Power, Nervous Irritability, Dyspepsia, l'alpltation ot the Heart, I indigestion, I onsiitutionnl Debility, Wnstlng of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and Death. A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS. Persons ruined In health by unlearned prcten j del who keep them trilling month after month, ! taking poisonous nnd injurious compounds, I should apply Immediately. 1 DR. JOHNSTON, l Member of the Rovnl College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduated from one of the most eminent Colleges in the United States, and the greater J.urt of whose ife lias been spent in the hospitals of London, Pris, Philadelphia und elsewhere, has ellcetcd some of the most ustonishing cures that were ever known ; many troubled with ring ing in the head and cars when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, bahl'ulncss, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured iliitncdiatelv. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have injurrd themselves by improper indulgence nnd solitary habits, which ruiu both body und lniud, uuliltiiig them fur either business, study, society or mar riage. Tiif.sk arc sonic of the sad nnd melancholy ell'eets produced by early habits of youth, vit: Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in tho Hack :i Ml Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive Function, General Debility, Symptoms of Con sumption, &c. Mkntai.lt The fearful effects on the mind nrc much lo be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, tVc, arc some of the evils produced. TuoiSAMi of persons of all ages can now Judge what Is the cause of their declining health, losing uieir lyor, oceoiiiuig, weitK, puie, ucrt ous and emaciated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump tion. Wbo have injured thcniselvcs'hy n certain prnc- YOUNG MEN tice indulged in when alone, u habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at school, tho 1 effects of which nrc nightly felt, even when I asleep, nud if not eared, renders marriage Impos sible,, and destroys both mind and body, should apply Immediately. What n pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the darling of his parent, should he snutchci', from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequence of deviutiug from the path of nature and indulging iu a certain secret habit. Such persons Ml st, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind and body nrc the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed w ithout these, the journey through life become u weary pilgrimage j the prospect hourly darkens to tho view ) the mind becomes shadowed with despair and tilled with thu melan choly reflection, that the liappiuiss ul' another becomes blighted with our own. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided und imprudent votary of pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of I Ibis painful disease, it too often hapiens that an lll-t lined sense ot sliunie, or dread ol discovery, deters him from applying lo those who, from education aud re.spectabilit r, cau alone befriend him, delaying till thu constitutional symptoms ol this horrid disease make their uppcuratico, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uocturul pains lu the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones ami arms, blotches on the head, face und extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the bones of tho nose fall In, and the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of coniinWen.llon. till death puts n ncrlod lo iia difuuliiil suffering, n .....nng him to " thin Undiscovered Country from whence no traveller returns." It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through falling into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful I'KE- TENDERS, w ho, liy the use of that deadly roi- son, Mercury, ic, destroy the constitution, and incapable of curing, keep the u.n.appv sutluier month ultor month taking then n.ixious or i, - Imlruiii ..,,, ,,,,,.,l,i un.l iiitin1 ill' I.einT I'.lMoLU - - --..i . i vi,,,.-.. i,i.iii.. 1,, liulr leave him with ruined Health to sigh ov j bis gnlllng disapiHtlntmeiit. , To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges Mm j self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and, from his extensive practice and observations in, the great Hospitals of Europe, und the first in this country, vis: Englund, Frauce, Philadelphia und elsewhere, is enabled lo offer the most cer tain, speedy and effectual remedy lu the world fur all diseases of imprudence DR.

Tlio Clitago Tribune, S.-pt. 8, says : Wc know olin) words which will convey to persons esiding outside, of Chicago au idea of what lias been done in tho wav of ro- ; buildiuejhc cily, Ihau to iay lliat. begin ning on tpi u u, iN7a, nticl eliding Decem btr 1, If J, excluding Sundays, counting 200 woilng days, nud each ilay of eight hours, Hire will lie comple ted one brick, stone, orron building, 'J." feet front, and from 4 too stories high, for eacli hour of that time, In other words, the buildings of that six. and character completed, nnd that will I completed by December 1, will average os for each (JO minutes of 200 days of 8 burs each. This esl hate, which will fall below the actual fact docs not include the many slime, bfiel iron, and wooden buildings built outsiii of the burnt district, and which alone qual the ordinary new build ings put up i. Chicago annually. There is no precedeul the world's history ol such a growth ; tiojuecedent for such energy and bravery f, a ix-ople who within the year has seen &A),U00,(IUU of their proper ty destroyed V lire. Thu statement will sound i-xtraordnary ihat.for seven months in IS"-.' bcgiuing tho lirst day ibn frost wns out of the ;;ounV -there was built and completed in tin burnt district of Chicago a brick, stone, ir ion warehouse every hour of each worliig Jay in that time. This general expulsion of our trade has lieeu attended win an increase of all branches, of man nurture ; new shops, fouiidc ries aud all Mils of establishments for skilled labor lmvmillipiie.il, giviugthu character of busy 5cs to many districts which, before tho ire, were unoccupied prairie. A result o this increase in trade is shown in the resas of tho new build ings, although thenissotvie backwardness in moving back oitho Dart of merchants who made new anecheuper locations im- "ediately after theitc. Though the uum- be r ol buildings tdiileil to business pur poses will be grea lyjicre:ised,lhis increase will soon bo lalv'ti up. Merchants who, before tho fire, fouid rioni in a single store of J.j feet front asd fiw stories high, now, as a general ihiig, demand for their in creased business bidding of o0 feet front aud ns high as ileal be safely built. There ate now no "bait"yr "side'' streets iu the burned district. Svery street is n thorough fare, and every boik' is a business quarter. Tins vast laboilas not been without an increase iu the nsiiiess of all the great transportation cdipauies tributary to the city.

A ntnn of very plenssng address, but very dishonest in ids practices, onco said to an honorable merchant whoso word was as good ns his bond, "I would givo llfly thousaud dollars for your good name." "Why soy" asked tiro other, in Bome stirprise, "IJecanso I could make a hundred thou sand out of it," was tlio reply. The honorable character which was nt tho la itt oni of that good name ho cared nothing for; it was only tho reputation which he could turn to account in a money point of view which he coveted. Hut a good name could not bo bought with gold ; it, of all other possessions, must bo litirly earned. 'When it is possessed it is a bet ter business capital than a great sum of money. 1 1 is a capital any boy or girl may secure. Honesty must be its foundation even to the smallest particulars. When an employer sajs, "that is a boy 1 can trust," I nu win always Luc, hunsclt in tlemaud, ! provided lie joins with it industry. "The hand of the diligent maketh rich." It j seems hard at the time, maybe, this cease i less daily round of work, wliilo other boys I are lounging about store steps, or playing ball ou the green, liut the reward will I come if you are faithful. While the lotin j gers are dragging out a miserable iilelimc j in privation and poverty, the hard-work-j ing boy lives at li is case, respected nud ! honored. Kememlier this, boys, if you desire to make your way in tho world. There is nothing that can serve your purpose like a name for honesty, and you will never ac quire either if you aro a lounger nbout the streets and a shirk at your business. Eve rybody suspects a lad who is ofleti seen about saloon doors oi tavern steps. It uu deimines a boys character for honesty ve ry rapidly to mix with the society he lintls there, aud such habits 'tend lo anything but industrious ways. "A good name is rather to be chosen than gn-at riches, nnd loving favor rather than silver nnd gold." 1'rinl that text on your heart, and carry it with you in all your walks and ways. If you are led to secure it, it will bo'worth far more than "lil'ly thousaud dollars" lo you. Thk SrccEssFVL 1Ui:. A girl, voium and pretty, and above all, gifted with nn air of admirable candor, lately presented herself befmc a Parisian lawyer. "Monsieur, I have come to consult you ou a gtave atl'air. I want you to oblige a man I love, to marry me in spite of him self. How shall I proceed V" The gentleman of the bar had, of course, a sulliciently elastie conscience. He re llecled a moment, nud then beiug sure that no one overheard him, replied hesitatingly : "Mademoiselle, according to our law, you always possess the means of forcing a man to marry you. You must tenia in on three occasions alone with him ; you cau then go before a judge and swear that ho is your lover." "And will that sulllcc, Monsieur V" "Yes, Mademoiselle, with oue further condition." "Well V "Thi n you will produce witnesses who will make oath to having seen j-oti N-ni-iin a good quarter of an hour with thu individ ual said to have trilled with your atl'ec lions." "Very well. Monsieur, I will retain you as counsel iu the management of this alliiir. Good -day." A few days afterward the young lady returned. !She was mysteriously received by the lawyer, who scarcely gave her lime to seat herself, and questioned her with the most lively curiosity. "Capital, capital !" "l'e:severe iu your design, Mademoiselle, but the next time you come to consult me give me the name of the young mau you are going to make so happy in spite of him self." A fortnight afterward, the young lady knocked at the door of the counsel's room. No sooner was she iu than she tiling her self into a chair, saying that the walk had made her breathless, ller counsel tried to reassure her, made her to inhale salts, and even proposed to unloose her garments." "It is useless, Mousieur," she said, "I am much better." "Well, uow, tell me the name of the for t uu ate mortal." "Well, theu, the fortunate mortal be it knowu to you, is yourself," said the youug beauty, bursting into a laugh. "I love you, 1 have been here three times, ftc--ktc with you, and my four witnesses aro below, leady nnd willing to accompany me to a magistrate," gravely continued the uarrator. The lawyer thus caught, had the good sense not to get angry. Tho most singular fact of all is that he adores his young wife, who makes nu cxcelleut housekeeper, "Say Amen to That, Brother." In the south of New Jersey, some years ago, theto i raveled over some of the hardest counties, a good, faithful, hardworking brother, named James Moore, or Jimmy Moore, as ho was familiarly called. lie was devoted to tho itinerancy. A true, loyal Methodist, plain, pointed and sharp in all his preachings and exhortations. Ho had been laboring a year on oue of his circuits, and before leaving for his new Hold, he gave his people, who dearly loved him, his farewel. sermon. At its close he said : "My dear breth ren, this is my last address to you. 1 am going from you and you may never hear the voice of .lames Moore agaiu." "Ameu !" came loudly from the seat be fore him. lie looked nt the man with a little sur prise, but, thinking it was a mistake, went on "My days on earth will soon he number ed. I am au old man, aud you may not only never hear the voice of Jatues Moore, but never see his face again." "Ameu !" was shouted from tho same seat, more vigorously than before. There was no mislakiug the design now. The preacher looked at the man, he knew him to be a hard, grinding man stingy aud merciless to the poor. He coutuiued his addtess. "May tho Lord bless all those of you who have done their duly, who have honored Him with your substance, who havo been kind to the poor, and " Pausing aud looking the intruder iu the face, and poiuliug lo Iiiui with his linger, "May his curse rest ou those who have cheated the Lord, and ground the poor un der their heels. Say ameu to that broth er." j The shot told. Ho was uot interrupted again. . . A I.1THK auy paper a believer iu spiritu alism, said that lie was himself the subject of spiritual influence, under which he al ways wrote his ai tides, thus being, iu tho work of authorship, a medium. "That," remarked a ideauaut fricud, "may account lor your mediocrity.1' Sever too lute to lotirn. Socrates, at nn extreme oid age, learned to piny on musical instruments.

What it is to nn a Widow. A wri ter in the llimc Journal thus fittingly rebukes the llippancy and thought lessness of some young women : "I think it must be a iollv thiui.' to be a vouns wi dow !" 1 heard this remark the other day in a group of laughing girls. I think I re member saying such a thing myself iu my girlish limes. Do vou know, girls, what it is to be a widow ? It is to be ten times more open to comment and criticism than any demoiselle could possibly be. It is to have turn gaze as you pass, first at your black dress and then at your widow's cap until your sensitive nerves quiver uuder tho in iliction. It is to have one illnatured per son say, "1 wonder how long she will wait bfore she marries again V" nnd another answer, "until she cau get a good chance, I suppose." It is uow and li en to meet the glance of real sympathy, generally from the poorest and humblest woman that you meet, und feel that your eyes liil at the to ken, so rare that it is, alas! uulooked for. It is lo havo your fashionable friends eon sole you after the following fashion : "Oh, well, it is a dreadful loss. We knew you'd feel it dear." And iu the next breath, "You will be sure to marry again, and your widow's cap is very becoming to " "But it is more than this to be a widow. It is to miss the strong arm you have lean ed upon, the true faith that you knew could never fail you. though nil the world might forsake you. It is to miss the clear voice that uttered name with a tenderness that no other could give it. It is to hear no more the well-knowu footsteps that you Hew so Madly once to meet. To see no more the face that to your ndoriilg eyes seemed as the angels of God. To feel no more the twiuiug arms that folded you so lovingly, the dear eyes that, looking into your own, said plainly, whatever it might seem to others, yours was the fairest face earth held for him. It is to liht with a mighty srrrow as a man lights with the waves that overwhelm him, nnd to hold nt nrms' length for a while only lo havein the hours of loneliness and weaknessthe tor rent roll over you, while poor storm-driven dove you sec no haven." A Brave Bctternut. It is amusing sometimes to watch how completely speci mens of the "Dundreary" swell nre taken down when putting on their grandest and most imposing airs. As tin instance of this, wc give the following account of a serene whic h occurred on one of the Missis sippi steamboats : Au amusing colloquy came off nl a sup per table on board of one of our Mississip pi steamboats, between a Chicago exqui site, reeking with oil and cologne, who was cursing the waters, assuming very conse quential airs, nnd a very raw Jonathan sealed by his side, dressed in homespun. Turning "lo his vulgar friend, the former pointed with bis jeweled linger, and said : "Buttnli sah!" "Yes, 1 see it is," coolly replied Jona than. "Buttah, sah, I say !'' fiercely repeated the dandy. "Yes, sir, I know it is very good, and a first-rate article." "Buttah, I tell you," thundered the dandy in si ill louder tones, as if he would annihilate hiin. "Well, gosh, all Jerusalem what of it V" now yelled the Down-e.ister, getting his dander up in turn, "you don't think I took it for lard, did you ' You must bo an ev erlastiu' darn tool, an' that you, if you don't shel up your jaw, I'll butter mv lists and cram them down your infernal throat.

Pushing aside the curtains he beckoned Mrs. Agues to come out. She complied, when he said to her solemnly : "Wngui s, d'er see anything exstronory now " "Yes !

Srit c '""- i . 1 cues To farmers who aro not yet schooled up lo the point of taking the trouble lo cultivate strow-ber-ries in the garden-bed, the Ohio Parmer makes this suggestion : "You have upon your premises a spot where a stack has "been built, some nook or corner in the mea dow where the soil is rich, 11 place that a fence has been moved from, or where logs have been piled ami burned or drawn oil'. Now, some day during the coining two weeks, when the team is hitched up, take the plow and turn this little patch over, harrow it well, und then go to some more enterprising neighbor who raises strawber ries and thin his patch of plants, which he will gladly have you do if his bed is old, and put out these sets upon yourown land. Next Juno you will rejoice nl the result. If in future years you have not time to give tho patch cultivation, let it alone until the vines begin to get non-productive, then prepare a new place, plow the old ones under nnd seed the ground to grass. Wo know of farmers who follow this method nnd have abundance of fruit for littlo trouble and 110 cash expense. It is not tho most approved system of culture, but bet ter then none." Ftm Kidney Wohiis ix Hons. A cor respondent of the American Farm Jour nal gives tho following with reference to the care of a liuo hog by means. of carbolic acid : "Ou the 20th day of February last I no ticed that one of my hogs (a largo Chester while sow) wns a little weak in the back. On examining her I found that it was with great tlilliculty that she raised her fore feet iu trying to walk. As I have had very little experience in raising hogs, I at once consulted a number of my neighbors ; they all pronounced it kidney worm, and of course, cadi hud a remedy. Some pre scribed soapsuds, others weak lye, coppe ras, blue vitriol, tur)cntin'i, Ac I gave each a fair trial, with no good result, and 011 the L'Uth of March she laid flat ou her side, unable to tutu over, and had uot been on her feet for more than ten days, when my lather. Dr. Browu, handed me a bottle of carbolic acid, and told me to use it us follows : 'IVn drops once a day in driuk, then put thirty drops in one gill of hot vin egar, and bathe the back over the kidneys once a day. I gave her the first dose ou Thursday, March HI. Ou Sunday 24th, when I went out to feed she raised to her feet and look two or three steps to meet me. By Saturday, the 30th, sho was as well nud sound ns ever. Tho same-remedy isi qually good iu treating mange. First, wash the hog well with soapsuds ; then, to one pint of lard, while hot, ndd one ounce of carbolic acid, stirring it until it is cool.
