DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of tlte Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges lu the United States, and the greater
part of whose Ife has been spent In the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those wbo have injurrd
themselves by Improper indulgence and Bolitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unlittiug
tliein for cither business, study, aociety or mar

evils produced. ,
Tuouamns of persona of all ages can now
Indue what Is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance

YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by a cortaln prac
tice indulged lu wben alone, a uauit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
etiecia or which nre nightly felt, even when
asleep, and If not cured, renders marriage linpos

snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of

habit. Such persons must, liefore uouteinpUitiug

hourly darkens to tbe view : tbe mlud beeoiuua

A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided aud imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he baa Imbibed the sued, of
this painful disease, It too often happens that an
Ill-timed seoee of shauie, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
Dim, eeiaying till tbe oou.lltutloual aymutouis of

gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate oi tne mouth or tbe bones of tbe nose full
In, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to hie dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns,
It la a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims te thla terrible disease, through fulling
Into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, wbo, by the use of that deadly Pot-
son, Mercury, xo-, aesiroy me constitution, aud
lucapable af curing, keep the uuliuppv autleror

jurious compouuds,aiid iustead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Ilappinuss, lu des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over

To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston plodges hlra-
soir to preserve tbe most Inviolable becroev, und

the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first in
this country, vixi England, France, Philadelphia

Six Presidents, Washington, Jefferson, Mad

Tho Rev. Peter Cartwrioht died on A'ed-
ucsday of last week, at his home near Plea
sant Plains, Sangamon county Illinois,
aged eighly-seveu years. Horn in the Old
lJotniiiion in the cloudy days just after the
revolution, young Cartwriglit went through
scenes in his iufaticy fully equal to tho
most exciting episodes of his later career.
His father had been a soldier iu the revolu
tionary war, und shortly after the declara
tion of independence he resolved to emi
grate with his family to Kentucky, then the
favorite hunting ground of thu Indian.
Young and hardy pioneers were pushing
forward from the old colonies into this new
aiid lertilo country, aud the Indians, loth
to surrender the laud "of cam s aud tur
keys," opposed n determined front to the
emigrants. The conflict between the races
was long and bloody, and ended in the de
cimated tribes of the ted men being c! riven
from tho dicituU'U territory
Cnrlwrillt'S plain narrative of his fillh-
LT"s jnui'iiy from Amherst, Vu., to I.incolu
oouuty. Ky., is t li ri Uinjr in thu Hitiipliciiy of
its lioiriUln details. One dark uigliL tliu
company, cuiHislin; of two litindruii fami
lies and otiu hundred young met), hailed at
a place called ' Camp I Moat," wliuro a
ntimbtr of f migrant la mi lies had been mur
dered by tho savages. It was a solemn,
gloomy lime ; every heart quaked with fear.
The younf; men were jiUeed as neutineU all
around the camp, and the heads of families
were placed arouud outside of the women
nnd children, and sumo were ordered to
lake their eland outside still, in thu tdi;e of
the brush. Anion); the outside sentinels
was Cartwrighfs father. .Shortly after lie
took his staud he heard sotneiliing ap
proacliuijj him, grunting like swine. C'art
wrtghl tired aud kilted an Indian, who was
found with a ride in one. hand and a tom
ahawk in the other, the ball having pierced

Soon after the arrival of the family in
Lincoln county, youux Cartwriisht'g moth
er made thu acquaintance of two Metho
dist tiavclini; preachers, John Page, and
lienjitniiii Xorthcut, eatly pioneer iu the
west. In the fail of 17U3, thu CuTlwrioJils
moved to Hie (ireii river country, in the
south of Keutucky, and settled ntue miles
south of Husselville. A Methodist preach
er named Jauob Lewton, visited the fami
ly, and itbked leave to preach in their cab
in. Cartwrighl'g father, who wns indiffe
rent in matt 048 of religion, assented, aud
J'eicr, then nine years of age, blurted on
his first missionary excursion to summon
the neighbors to hear the preacher.
Loguti county was at this time known ns
"Hogues' Harbor,'! on account of tne mul
tude of horse tLieves and tlesperadoes who
flocked thither from all parts of the Uuiou.
'lie honest citizens formed themselves into
a band of Regulators, and bad a pitched
battle with thu thieves at Uusselville. The
Regulators were defeated, but afterward
rallied, and killed uiauy of the desperadoes,
lu those days there wns not a newspaper
printed south of the tiretn river. It is in
teresting in these degenerate days to know
that the Cartwrights raised their own cot
Ion and flag, water-rooted the flax, broke
it by baud, scutched it, picked the seed out
of -the cotton with their lingers, aud the
mothers and sisters carded, spun, and wove
it into cloth fur the family. Of this all their
gnrmcuts and bed clothes were made.
A W1LB YOUTII CONVERTED.
Wicked boys will be filled with renewed

Peter commenced to attoild : camp meet
ing and ho tells the following curious story
ol'wlmt occurred at one of them :
Tho Rev. Mr. Lee was preaching from
the text, "Except a man deny himself, and
take up his cross, he cannot bo my disci
ple." In the Congregation wns a Dutch
man, au ignorant niau whose wife wns a
notorious scold. ', They were deeply touch
ed by le's preaching. After services, he
mounted his horse, and stnrted for bis ev
ening appointment. After riding some
distance, he saw a little ahead of him a man
trudging along carryltitt; a womnn on his
uacK. ine traveler was a small man. the
woman large and btavy. Mr. Lee rode up
and found that it was the Dutchman carry
ing bis scolding wile. "You did tcllus,''
said the Dutchman, "thnt we must tnkoup
the cross, or we could not bu saved, and
Utah woman is de greatest crosn 1 luive."
Peter was formally received into I lie M.
. church in June, 1801, and soon bt-enmo
well-known as rt preacher and cxhorter.
II was en I led tho Ivontuoltv Hnr. A pn.
rious epidemic was then prevaleut among
iiicuiuuiHis, en noii me jerks,, nnu resem
bling the St. Vitus' dance. While
listening to a stirring sermon, peo
ple would be seized with a convulsive jerk
ing nil over. Finely dressed Indies nud
gentlemen wero seized in this way, und
found it impossible to resist, says Cart
wright. HOW CARTWRIOIIT ESCAPED A WHIPPING.
At one of ray appointments iu 1S04, there
wero two very finely dressed, fashionable
young Indies, attended by two .brothers
with loaded horsewhips. Tho house was
crowded, and the young ladies took seats
near where 1 stood. I was unwell, and
hud a phiai of peppermint iu my pocket.
Iielore I commenced preuching 1 look out
my phial and swallowed a little of the pep
tH'i'initit. , The congregation was melted in
to tenia, nnd both the young ladies took
the jerks.
A man warned me, as I dismissed the
assembly, that the brothers had sworu
they would horsewhip mo for giving their
sisters the jerks. I went mil to the young
men and expostulated. One said hu bad
seen me take out a phial in which I carried
some truck that gave bis sisters the jerks.
As quick as toouglil,it came into tuy uiiud
how to get clear of my whipping, and pull
ing tho phiil out, I cried : "Y, if I gave
your sisler the jerks, I'll give them to you,"
I moved toward him. Ho backed. 1 ad
vanced, aud he wheeled and ran, warning
me not to come near him, or he would kill
me. It raised tho laugh on him, aud I es
caped a whipping.
The jerks appear to have proved fatal iu
some iuslanees, and Cnrtwright tells of a
drunken rowdy who was seized with them
nnd stvoro be would drink the d d jerks
to dentil. Ills botile came in contact ivHh
a sapling nud was broketi. The rowdy
pitched a violent jerk, snapped bis neck,
and expired.
Carlwright tells how he frightened a He
brew who nllcmptcd to disturb a prayer
meeting.
One evening a Jew appeared at our even
tug prayer meeting and euid it wns idolatry,
to pray to Jesus Christ. I asked him, "Do
you really believe there is a God ?" Ho au
swered, "Yes." I siid, "Well, let us test
this matter. Get down and pray to God
to stop this work, aud if It. is wrong ho will
answer your petition and stop it. If it is
not all hell cannot stop it." Slowly he
kneeled, cleared his throat, and coughed. I
said, "Jiow boys, pray all your might that
God may answer by lire." The Jew
coughed again. We saw his confusion,
and commenced praying at the top of our
voices. He leaped up, started off, and wo
raised a shout.
While on the Scioto, circuit, Ohio, 1S.VJ-C,
Carlwright intruded a meeting, nt which a
Presbyterian minister preached. The min
ister was a fiue man, but giveu to drink.
At tho meeting ho excused himself for his
unaccountable love of whiskey on the
f;round that his mother, before he was born,
ouged for whiskey. Cartwr'mht was in
diguanl, and when he arose after the whis-ky-Ioviug
apologist he said ho thought tho
preacher's excuse was infinitely worse thuu
drunkenness itself, for it wns a downright
lie and slander ou his mother.
WHirriXO A GAXQ OK rtlFVIANS.
While on the Hockhocklng circuit, Cart
wright was disturbed one Sunday morning,
at camp-mecling, by the advent of a gang
of roughs. When ho was about half
through his discourse, two young men en
tered, finely dressed, with 'loaded whips,
and began to laugh and talk to the women.
Carlwright ordered them to desist, and
called for a magistrate. The officers of the
law were afraid to interfere, nnd Carlwright
advanced on the ruffians. What followed
is related in bis owu words :
One of them made a pass at my head
with bis whip, but I closed in with him,
and jerked him off the seat. I threw him
down, und held him fast. He tried his best
to get loose. I told him to be quiet or I
would pound his chest well. The mob
rushed to tiro rescue of the prisoner, and a
drunken magistrate ordered me to release
him. I refused, aud be said be would
knock me down. I told him to knock away. ,
A friend, at my request, relieved me of my !
prisoner. The drunken Justice made u
puss at me. I parried the stroke seized
Kim bv tho collar, brought him to tho
ground and jumped on him. 1 told him to
be quiet or I would pound him well. The
mob rushed up and knocked down several
preachers. I gave my prisoner to another,
und the ringleader aud 1 met. He made
three passes at me, nnd I gave biiu a blow
in Ihe ear. and dropped him to the earth.
Tho struggle resulted iu a victory for the
Methodists, and the tine aud coU collected
front the captured rjwdies amounted to
nearly 300. .......
EXr-OSINO AN IMP09TOH.
In MariclU was a nondescript preacher
named A. Sargent, with numerous follow
ers. He called himself a millenial messen
ger, aud professed to aee visions and con.
verso with augela. , Oue Sunday night at a
Methodist campmeeting, Sargent got some
powder and lit a cigar, aad then walked
dowu l the bauk of the river, oue hundred
yards where stood a lurgo slump and touch
ed it with bis cigar. Tbe light of thu pow
der was seen by many at the camp, Sar
gent lay there, and wben the ijeoplo came
he told them be had bad a vision, that God
had come down iu a flash of light. Says
Carlwright :
. "I stepid up to him and asked him If
an angel had appeared to him in thai, flash
oflight. Ha antd "Yes" I said, "Sargent,
did not tlutt aogel smell of brimstone V
"why," be said, "do yon ask me such a

Whilo settled in Christian county , a per
son calling himself a Uaptiat preacher cal

these were not dnysof general temperance,
I thought it a bad sign, but said noth

A DlbPUTE WITU A DOCTOR.
Many other anecdotes could be told of
this eccentric nnd talented roan, and there
Is ono too good to let pass. Hennco had
a dispute with a doctor relative to reliijioti.
The doctor said he wanted honest and un
equivocal answers to a few questiuus.
"Did you ever hear religion ?"
Xo.
'Did you ever smell religion ?'
'No.'
'Did you ever taste religion ?'
'No.'
'Did you ever feel religion.'
'Yes.'
'Now then,' said tho doctor with appa
rent triumph, ! have proved lieyond n
doubt, by four respectable witnesses, that
religion is not seen, heard, smelled. or
tasted, nnd but one soliinry witness, feel
ing, bus testilied thnt it is an experimental
fact. The weight of evidence is overwhelm
ruing, nnd yu must give it up.'
Cnrtwright asked, 'Did you ever goo a
pain '
"No."
"Did you ever smell a pain ?
"No."
"Did you ever taste a paiu ?
"No." '
'Did you ever feel a paiu ?" 1
'Certainly. I did, sir."
The doctor and his family were converted
BLAZING HIS AWAY. ,
Carlwright having Iven brought up in a
log cabin, did tint like climbing stairs, ami
when ho took up his quarters in a hotel he
preferred rooms on a lower floor. lie once
went to Chicago and booked himself at the
Tremunt-house. The preacher was assign
ed to a room in thu eighth or ningih story.
Soon ufter be.injj shown to his room,
Cnrlwrigt rang the bell. A waiter prompt
ly in attendance. "I want au axe," said
Cnrtwright. The astonished servant said
lie would procure ouc. Havm obtainin!!
an nse, Carlwright aBked the waiter to
guide him down tho stairs. At the firrt
turn iu tho Ktairs, Caitwright blazed bis
mark in the walnut baluster. The dam
founded wuiter asked what hu meant. "I
want to ki.ow my way back to my room
again," said Carf.vright. Tho preacher
was assigned to a room at-a more rural
distance from mother earth.
Mr. Cnrtwright was first assigned to
Pleasant Plains in Ifi'A. lu his old age
ho rttaiued his faculties to au extraordin

small effect iu keeping up tho old time

Gum FIimI tin Dconomlenl Girl.
Congress Hall, my old statistician, says
there are just four of those beautiful sage
green dresses iu Saratoga. Three, he says,
are woru by very slylUh young ladies, and
one is worn by an old lady who has uo bu
siness to l)o wearing it. livery time he
sees these beautilul tlresses he goes into an
ecstacy of delight. He rubs his hanos and
says, "there comes tho agony of Puns
$400 if it's a cent I"
When wo look up, it is a sage-green.
Yesterday oue of the beautiful youug la

over to Ihe lake with my friend Gus. litis
has got good blood in him, but he ain't
"stumpy." lie always lakes to expensive
girls, and after gult-ing interested in them
Ihey talk such expensive talk about camel's

poor Gus gets frightened off. He comes up
to my room aud says he don't believe there
is a girl iu New York who don't cost her
father 93,OOU a year fur uico clothes. Then
be buriea his face in his hands, aud says :
"Oh dear, there is no chauce for a poor
fellow on 500 a year."
Yesterday Gus came into my room,
looking bright and happy. His eyes fairly
shouo with tho ecstacy of a blissful emo
tion. "What is it, Gus ?" I aakod.
"I've found her ; she's hem !" and then
he stopped to catch his breath.
"Who's here?" I asked, thinking per

' Citv of Women-. Mrs. Leonowens, In
ici ictiuic iiu mum, iuiis me louowing :
VThft central pnrt of the city of linngkok,
in Siam, is devoted exclusively to tbe resi
dence of some nine thousnnd women,
among whom no man but the King may
cuter. The inhabitants of this inner city
are the thousand women of the royal ha
re.u, and some eight-thousand slaves. This
little world is ruled by women as magis
trates who administer the laws of tho king
dom. There i no appeal from their deci
sions. Prisoners ate arrested by sheriffs
of their own sex. If ii is necessary to
chain them, it is doue by blacksmiths of
their own sex. If a disturbance arises, it
is suppressed by n force of live hundred
Amazons trained from infuuey to the use
of sword and spear. Mcauwhilu the slave
women carry on a variety of manufactures,
or go outside the walls to till the fields.
Tbe women of hi-jher birth nre "snled"
to the king j the women t:mv marry, but
their husbands dwell outside the walls. Tbo
children, if boys, are banished from the ci
ty of women at six years old; only the
girls mnaiu. All the Oriental distinctions
of rank am scrupulously observed within
this strange realm, except that the magis
trates arc chosen for personal chnractor and
wisdom. Mrs. Leonowens speaks with
great reverence of tho women who was
Chief Just.ce when she lived in IJnngHok,
and tells some remarkable anecdotes of the
courage with which she enforced justice
against oflenders far superior to herself iu
social rank."
Aktemcs Ward, in one of his letters
thus gives his ideas of organization : "I
never attempted to'reorgnuize my wife but
once. I shall never do it again. I'd been .
to a public dinner, nnd had allowed myself
to be betrayed into drinkiu' to several peo
ples' healths ; and wishing to make them
robust as possible, 1 continued drinkin'
their health until my own was affected.
Conseketiee was, when I presented myself
at Betsy's bedside late at night with con
siderable liquor concealed about my person,
1 hnd somehow got possession of a horse
whip on my way, and rememberin' somo
cranky observation of Mrs. Ward's in tho
moruin', I snapped the whip putty lively,
nnd in a very loud voice I said : 'Betsy,
you need orgnni.in' ; I have come, 'Betsy
I continued, crackiu the whip over tha
bed I have como to reorganize you.' I
dreamed that night somebody laid a horse
whip across me several times, and when I
woke up I found sho had. 1 hain't drank
much of anything since ; and if I bave ano
ther reorsfanizin' job. I shall let it out."
If Voir Tlease. CbiWtcn, do you"
ever think how much real courtesy will do
for you ? Some of tho greatest men were
ever cautious in this respect. When the
Duke of Wellington was sick, the last
thing he took was a little lea. On his ser
vaut handing it to him in a saucer and
asking if he would have it. the Duke re
plied, "Yes, if you please." Theso wero
bis last words. How much kindness and
courtesy are expressed by them! He who
bad commanded great armies aud was long
accustomed to the ton of authority, did
not overlook the small courtesies of life.
Ah, how many childen do! What a rudo
ton of command they often use to little
brothers and sisters, and sometimes to
uioiliers. Theyorder so. Tins is lu-ored,
and shows, to say tho least, a want of
thought. Iu all your home talk remember
"If you plenso." To all who wait tjpou or
sorve you, believo that "If you please" will'
luake you belter served than all the cross
or ordering words in the whole dictionary.
Do not forget three littW words : "If you
please."

Lime and Salt Mixti iie. ir of. Johu
son recommends for fcrtilizim; purposes lo
mix one bushel of salt aud two bushels of
dry lime under cover, aud allow the mix
ture to decompose gradually, thus formiug
au iutimate chemical union of tho two ma
terials. For this purpose the mixture
should be made at least six Weeks before
use, or still better, two or three moiitas,
the heap mentioned being turned over oc
casionally. This salt and lime mixture,
when applied at the rate of 20 or 30 bush
els per acre, forms an excellent tnpdressing
for many crops. It acts powerfully on the
vrgeiahm matter of soils; 6U bushels ap
plies! to a turnip crop have produced as
large a crop as barnyard manure. It is al
so very destructive lo tirubs and iusecta ia'
soil. Like salt, it attracts moisture from
the air, and is useful against drought. Its .
decomposing power is remarkable, and if
three or four bushels of it art mixed wuh a
load of swamp muck, the latter will bo re-'
duccd to a powder.
