BALTIMORE LOCK HOSPITAL
JR. 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

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

Where girlhood's brief cysliim
In Joyotisuess was pasted j
To that sweet spot forcvr,
As to some hnllowcd dime,
Life's pilgrim bends bet vision
'Tis her old, old hoint
A father sat, how proudy,
By that hearthsinnc'srays,
And told his children stirles
Of his curly miinhnodsdays ( .
And one soft eye wns ItejiHiupi .

Thus a mother counts l.'r treasures,
In the old, old home.

Close intertwined each heart,

Golden Ticxt for B0Y8. 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.

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

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"

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. Hub the hog two or three limes
with this, and give yourself 110 uneasiness
nbout the mange."
Fekdixo Tin keys. The PuuUiy
World, in nn nrlielo ou Turkeys has this
in relation lo feeding: "The practice of
most farmers who raise turkeys is not to
feed them at nil niter the young birds nro
six or eight weeks old. They are driven
oil' lo the pasture or woods early iu tho
morning, and ml their living where they
can tiuii it. Their chief food is grasshop
pers aud other insects, aud they do the pas
tures and meadows a great service iu keep
ing uuder these destructive creatures. This
may ho well enough where insects nnd
m.ist are plenty, but upon many farms thu,
rauue of woodland is -.try limited, aud tint'
growth of the birds will not hi satisfactory
without food from the corn crib. They
bhouM come lo see the roosl t-very uighl '

is not found to be the ease, lliey should be
