( w hat a pity that a yonng man, the hope nf his country, the darling of his parents; should be snntchca from all prospects and enjoyments of lite, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature and indulging in eeertaln secret habit. Such persons mi'St, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage t the prospect hourly darkens to the view j the mlud becomes shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly reflection, that the happiness of another becomes blitchted with our own. A CERTAIN DISEA8E. When the ruitiruided and imprudent votarv of plensure finds that he ha Imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, It too often happens that an ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters bim from applying to those who, froin education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight. deafness, nodes on the shin bone and arms, blotches on the head, race and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the Kalnte of the mouth or the bone of the nose fall i, and the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to hi dreadful suffering, by sending him to " that Undiscovered Couutry from whence no traveller returns." - . It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through falling Into the hand of Iguoraut or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Pol son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the connituliou, and incapable of enring, keep the unhappy sufferer month after month taking Ibt ir noxious or in jurious compounds, and Instead of being restored to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, In des pair leave hlra with ruined Health, to sigh over nis galling nisappoiuimeul. lo such, therefore. Dr. Johnston pledges him self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and iroui his extensive practice and observation in the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first la this country, vis t England, France, Philadelphia and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world for all disease of Imprudence.

F. P. Green, of Bellefoutc. great Brand- son of Col. Samuel Miles, of Ibc Revolu tionary Army, has allowed us to copy, for historical purposes, a memorandum ot' bis lite, made by (Jul. Miles in 1802. It is. a very important historical docu ment, explaining what has never been un derstood, how Gen. Howe got around tho loll or the American army at tho battle of lions Island.

I COPT the Portion rclutim? to Fori. Anuiialn and tho Bloody Spring, for the benefit of your readers. "In the spring of 17oG there were two battalions of troops directed bv an Act of xmoeiuuijr m uu ruiBeu m me nay oi i eun sylvania, and I again cote red the service as a sergeant in Cant. Thomas Floyd's Company, and my arrival at John Harris', (near Harrisburgl where the 2d battallion, which was intended to march against tho Indians at Suamokin, (Suubury) rendez voused, under the immediate command of the Govn-uor of lito Proviaeo, Robert Hunter Morris. As soon as the troops were collected and properly equipped, we marched for Shamokiu, an In dian town, the inhabitants of which had been very troublesome to the frotitier settle ments. This is a mistake of Col. Miles ; the Indian iuhabilaus here were always? friendly to the whites, and it was at their request that a fort was to be built here. See Pa. Archives, Vol. 2, page 55. ' Vfa crossed the Kusquchauua aud march ed on tho west side thereof until we came opposite whero the town of Sunhury now stands, where we crossed over in batleaux, and I had the honor of beiug the first man who put his foot on slioro at landiug. In building the Fort at Shamokin, C'apt. Levi Trump and myself had the chargo of the workmen, and after it was finished our bat talion remained there as garrison until the year 1758. In the summer of 1750 I was nearly ta ken prisoner by thu Indians. At about half a mile distant from tho fort stood a largo tree that bore excellent plums in an opon pieco of ground, near what is now called the "Moody Spring." Lieut. S. At lee (Samuel John Atleo, Col. of Musketry Battalion, and takeu prisoner at Long Is land) and myself, one day took a walk to this tree to gather plums. While we wero A ......... 1.1 .. U. . .- 1 . i r. . there a party of Indians lay a short dis tance from us concealed in the thicket, and had nearly gotten between us aud the fort, wheu a soldier belonging to a bullock guard not far from us came to the spring to drink. The Indians were thereby iu danger of be ing discovered, and in consequence thereof, fired at aud killed the soldier by which means we got off and returned to the Fort in much less time than we wero coining out. In the year 1758 tbe expedition against Fort Duquesne, now Pittsburg, was undertaken, and one battaliou joined tho British army at Carlisle. The Capiaiu Levi Trump, mentioned by Col. Miles, is spoken of in JJr. Frankliu's letter as superintending the buildings of Fort Allen iu Northampton county. The instructions to Col. Clapham for the build ing of the fort will be fouud iu Penn'a Ar chives, Vol. 2, p. 007, aud are dated 12tb Juue, 1750. lie was then building the fort at Armstrong culled Fort Halifax. On the first of July Col. Clapliatu writes that he is engaged embarking the regiment aud stores for Shamokin, aud expected to encamp on the west side of the Susquehanna five miles frota Halifax that night. On the 13lh, from a minute of a council of oQiuers held at the camp at Shamokin, I find among the names of olliccr. Levi Trump, John Ham bright, Wm. Pluukett, Samuel J. Atlee, Samuel Miles, &c. August 11, Col. C. writes that he has the walls of the fort above, half finished, and our other works in such a situation that we cau make a good defence agaiust any body of French or Indians that shall scat themselves before us without caunou. On the 4th of Septem ber, Peter Bard writes : "The fort is now almost finished, and a fine one it is ; and last Sunday morning one of our people who attended the cattle went to the snriug about half a mile from the fort, and while lie was drinkiug was shot, and afterward scalped and tomahawked. A party was scut alter them, but could not corud up with then). Michael McGueea waa tbe principal car penter in building tbe fort, aud according to Col, Clapham's letter it had mounted 6 four pound cannon, and 2 swivels, and by a return dated October 18, there waa 300 men in garrison. In the latter part of No. vetnber, Col. C. writes that two bushels of grass seed are necessary wherewith to sow the slopes of the parapet and glacU, and the ba.uk of tbe river. In eight or nine days the ditch will be carried quite around the parapet the barrier gates fiuished and erected, and the pickets of the glacis com pleted, when I expect to report to you in person at Philadelphia. lie soon resigned and Major James Uurd was la command until 18th December, 1757, when Capt.

Tho lecture was received with enthusiastic applause. Flirting. It is remarkable, but nevertheless true, that, as a rule, flirts, both male and female, do not marry quickly. Tbe chances are that a girl who becomes engaged at eigh teen, aud goes on becoming engaged and disengaged, as is the custom for flirts to do, ultimately settles down into a confirmed old maid. If she does wed, ns a general rule, she develops into a virulent wasp, makes her husband miserable, and brings up her children badly. It is not very diffi cult to find reasons why flirts do not marry. Sensible men admire in a woman something more than a pretty face and engaging man ners. They love intellect, common seuse, and heart qualifications, which the flirt does not possess. The true woman allows her affections full play, aud is not ashamed of them. She will not lead a man to be lieve she cares for him when sbo does no such thing ; she will i ot flirt with him for the sake of flirting. She has a true concep tion of what is right, and possesses a great deal more common aeuse. She has derived her knowledge from something else than three volume novels and tbe society of the empty pated. She can be thoroughly mer ry, but she can be merry without being idiotic. She may attract less attention in drawing-room than a flirt does, because sho is less noisy and obtrusive ; but for all that, she will be married sooner, and make her husband a belter and . truer wife. A true woman does not care for a spoony young man. She dislikes his foppishness, tho vivid complements he pays her, and his effeminacy. He quickly finds this out aud leaves her In peace. ' Thus, if he ulti mately gets married, it is to tbe flirt, and tbe pair lead the jolliest cat-and-dog life imaginable. 1 The following unte, written to a school mate by s Leek Haveu girl, who had been absent several days, illustrates the sweet simplicity of childhood ; "Dear Suie I shan't attend school again until I get some new cud's, collars and ribbons. Dear ma ma agrees with me that it is my dooly to take the shine out of that upstart, Mary Jooes and I'll do it If i never learu noth ing." Tub Famine in Persia, according to a Madras journal, has destroyed three hun dred thousand persons in Teheren, the cap. ital, and throughout the country it is stat ed that not less than three millions of hu ms a beings have fallen victims to the fam ine and pestilence.

But I dou't intend this essa for ladling In the lump, but for lafflnz on tho half shell. Lafllug iz just as tew cum tew tho sur face az a rat iz tew cum out ov biz hole when ho wants tew. Yu kaut keep it back by swallowing en ny more thau yu kau the hickups. If a mau A?'t luff there iz sum mistake made in putting him together, and if he teou't laff he wants as much keeping away from az a bear-trap wheu it ig sot. I have seen people who la lied altogether too mutch for ilielr own good or for euny body else's ; they laft like a barrel ov nu s"ulnr with tho lap pulled out a perfect stream. ' This iz a great waste ov natural juice. 1 have seen other people who didu't laff enulT tew give themaell's vent ; they waz like a barrel uv nu aider, too, that waz bunged up tite. apt tew start a hoop and leak all away ou the sly. There aiu't neither uv tlieze 2 ways right and they never ought tew be patented. Sum pholks hav got what iz kalled a hoss-laff, about half way between a growl and a bellow, just az a boss duz when ho feels his outs, aud don't exactly kno what ails him. Theze pholks don't enjoy a laff enny more than the mau duz his vittles who swallows biz perUtose hole. A laff tew be nourishment wauts tew be well chewed. . 1 Thare is another kind ov a laff which I , never did enjoy, otic loud bust, and yjeu everything iz az still nz a lager beer barrel after it hez blowed up and sluug 2 or 3 gal lons ov beer around loose. Thare is another iaff wh'itcli l nave an nlicd, it cume out ov the mouth with a noite like a pig tuukca wiicu ho iu In a tite spot, ono sharp squeal aud two suikkers, and then dies in u simper. This kind ov a lull' iz Iarnt at femail boarding skules, aud dou't mean anything, it iz nothing more than the skin ov a tall'. Genuine lit lit n iz the vent ov the soul, the nostrils ov the heart, and iz jist az neces sary for he! ill and happiness as spring wa ter iz for a trout. There iz ono kind ov a laff that i always did rekommeud ; it looks out uv the eye fust with a merry twinkle, then it krecps down on its hands aud knees and plays around the mouth like a pretty moth around the blaze ov a kaudle, then it steals over into the dimples ov the cheks aud rides arouud iu' thozo little whirlpools for a while, then it litcs up the whole face like the inello bloom on a damask roze, then it swims oil' ou the air with a peal at klcar and at happy az a dinner boll, then it goes back agin on golden tiptoze, like an angel out for an airing, and laze down on its lit tle bed ov violets in the heart where it cum from. Thare it another laff that nobody kan withstand ; it iz just az honest and noizy az a distrikt skule let out to play, it shakes a man up from hiz toze tew his temples, it dubblcsaud twists him like a whiskee pint, it lifts him up oph from his cheer like fea thers, and lets him back ngin like melted led, it goes all thru him like a pickpocket, and finally leaves him as weka aud as krazy az tho be bad biu sokeing all day in a Rush ing bath aud forgot tew be took out. This kind ov a laff belongs tew jolly good plie I low s who are az helthy az Quakers, and who are az euzy tew plee az a gall who it going tew be married to-morrow. In kouklushion I say laff every good chance yu kan git, but don't laff unless yu fcal like it, for there aiu't uolhing iu this world more hearty than a good honest laff, nor nothing more hollow thau one without enny hart iu it. . When yu du bff open yure mouth wide enuff for the noise tew git out without squealing, thro j ure lied bak us tho yu waz guin tew be shaved, hold ou Uw yure fals hare with both hauds, and then UlT till yure soul "its thoroly rested. But i shall tell yu more about these things at some future lime. Moth Bit Evk's Servant Girl. "Can any one tell why, when Eve was manufac tured from one of Adam's ribs, a hired girl wasn't made at the same time to wait ou her V" Because Adam never came whiu ing to Eve with ragged stockings to be darned, a collar string to be sewed on, or glove to be mended "right away, quick uow T" Because he never read the news paper uut'tl the sun goes down behind the palm trees, aud then stretching himself yawued out : "Aint supper most ready my dear V" Not ho. He mado tbe fire, and huug over the tea kettle himself, we'll ven ture, and pulled the radishes, peeled tho bananas and everything else that he'd ought to do. He milked the cow, fed the chickens, and looked after the pigs himself. He uever brought home half a dozen friends to dinner, when Eve hadn't any pomegranate, and the mango season was overv He never stayed out until eleven o'clock to a "ward meeting" hurrahing for an out-aud-out Candida to, and then scolded because poor, dear Eve was sitting up and crying inside the gates. He never played billiards, uor drove fast horses, nor choked Eve with segar smoke. He uever loafed around corner groceries while solitary Eve was rocking little Cain's cradle at home. In short, he didn't think she wot specially created for the purpose oi waiting on him, and wasn't uuder the impression that it disgraced a man to lighten hit wife's caret a Utile.

The October Report of the Agricultural Department informs us that the wheat crop of couutry this yeur is estimated at 240.000.000 bushels, or 10.000.000 mora than for the preceding year, aud the quality is also much belter. The Department estimates the Indian corn crop of the Uni ted States to be eight per cuut, above tho average. Tho yield of oats is estimated to be not quite 25ti.000.000 bushels. Barley is reported as not likely to bo less, but poorer thau last year, aud rye two per cent, less iu quantity than lust year, though generally good.
