YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by a certain iirac-.
tlce Indulged in when alone, habit frequently
learned Irom evil companions, or at school, the
effects of which, are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud If not cured, renders marriage Impos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply Immediately. (
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.

self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
iroui his extensive practice and observation in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first la

for all disease of Imprudence.

IFOR TnK BUNBURY AMERICAN. 1
"I'ort Angntitn" and the "Bloody
Spring."
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. Aucust 27. 17T0.' and with
Col. Jiroiulliciid 's letter, Pennsylvania Ar

from responsibility for tbe reverse of that
day...
1 expect to nublish it in full in "LoaaiiKTR
Historical Record of Philadelphia," but as
it will not reach manv of vour oeonlo. 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

Why Hen Don't Harry.
Rev. Henry Morgan lectured in Boston.
recently, on "Why Men don't Marry."
His headings wero theso-Men don't marry:
First, because thoy can't. They can't get
the one they want; bachelors have high
notions. Second, manv of them are cow
ards ; they dare not face the music ; they
dodge the question. Third," because they
are skeptical; they have not faith in woman;
they think marriage a lottery. Fourth, they
are selfish ; they cannot yield lor another's
good ; can't support a family want -the
sweets of lifo without bearing its burdens.
Fifth, woman's extravagance. Here the
speaker showed true cause for mau's hesi
tating ; expensive and extravagant dress.
It cunts as much t launch u woman un
the sea of wedded life as it would to tit out
a small schooner. As to sails, cordage.
pcuuants, streamers, tho difference is In
favor of t he schooner.
Next, Whom do men marrv V Women
of course. John Howard, the great phi
lanthropist, married his nurse ; he twenty
five, she fifty-two. John' Wesley married
a vixen. Peter the Great married a peas
ant girl. Humboldt married a poor girl
because he loved her. Shakespeare wed
ded a farmer's daughter. Byron married
for money to pay his debts. Bobcrt Burns
married a gin whom lie courtsu in the
plow field. Milton parted from his wife.
uftluugton married a widow. 1- rankhn
married the girl that saw him with the rolls
under his arm. Andrew Jackson married
lady whose husband was livine. Ed
ward Lytlon Bulwer married a shrew.
General Fremont married the daughter of
Thomas Benton by elopiug. Horace
Greeley married ft school mistress,! whose
good sense will advise Horace uever again
to aBinro alter the Presidential chair. Mar
tin Luther married a nun. Father Hya
cinlbe married a convert that finally con
verted him. Mr. Morgan then referred to
the notorious Scott case, and closed by nor-
trayitig the trials at d sorrows of the abus
ed wile. 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. Such a fearful destruc
tion ot human life is without a parallel in
the hnscrry of tha world.

have tew load a kannon klean up tew tho

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

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. That it the reason that Eve did
uot need a hired girl, and we wish it was
the reason that none ef her fair dsseead-aattaMd.

Ocr Crop of Ckrhals for 1S72.
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. This is certainly very
eucouraging aud ought to etlecluaily put
a stop to all tpeculatiou and cornering.
