This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible Is the penalty
paid by the victims of Improper Indulgences.
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conseqences
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 the prudent f Besides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms lo both
body and mind arise. The system becomes de

them for either business, study, society or mar

Thousands of persons of all age can now
judge what Is the cause of their declining hunlth,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pule, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about thteyos, cough and symptoms of consump

What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of bis parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the eousequence of deviating from the
path of nuture and indulging In a certain secret
habit. Such persons mi ht, Ix'fore coutojiplailng

necessary reqnlsiUM to promote connubial happi
ness, ludeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ) the prospect
hourly darkens to the view the mlud become
shadowed with despair aud filled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the nilfguldcd and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often kappeo that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters bin from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alono befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseaaed nose,' noctnral
pulns ia the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, node on the shin hone aud arms.
Hatches on the bead, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at lust the
fialate of the mouth or the bone of the nose full
n, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid otijeet of commiseration, till death put
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sensing
him to "that Undiscovered Country from wbeut
no traveller return."
It Is a melancholy fact 'that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falliug
Into the hands of Igworant or naskilll'vl PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and Instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor aud Happiuess, in des
pair leave him with ruiued Health lo sigh over
bis galling disappointment.
- To sncb, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledge him
self to preserve the most Inrielable Secrecy, and

the great Hospitals of Europe, aud the first in

and elsewhere, ia enabled t oiler the moat cer

Late Dinner Honrs.
A medical jourunl recently in condemn
ing late hours for dinner, staled thnt with
in four hundred years the dinner hour has
gradually moved through twelve hours of
the day from 0 a. m. to 0 p. m. It is a
curious fact that the fondness of late hours
has progressed with the growth of civiliza
tion ; but it is not dillicult to account for
this chango of habit. Four centuries ago
tho custom in Knglund and throughout a
large portiou of Europe was for tho family
to take their meals at tho same timonnd at
the same table with the domestics and all
persons employed by the head of the house,
and this custom was observed by the high
est noble its wi'll ns by tho most humble,
farmer. Everybody rote about tho same
hour in the morniug, and the Indies of the
houso Bupvriuleudud the business of tho
kitchen. Moreover, as the system of light
ing the interior of dwellings was in a very
imperfect stale tho nieuun usually resort
ed to being Ihe burning of pine torches or
of oil and fut iu clumpy lumps, or the kind
ling ol a roaring lire it became a necessi
ty to make use of as much daylight as pos
sible; hence the early hours which, it is
said our nncestors were so fond of, and the
philosophy of which they embodied iu tho
proverbs : "Early in bed and early to rise
makes a mau healthy, wealthy and wise ;"
and "to rise at live, to dine at nine, to sup
at five, to bed at uiite, cuakea a man live to
ninely-miiu."
They were a hardy race.both male and fe
male, living much in the open air, and tak
ing a vast amount of physical exercise ;
but it is by tio means certain that the du
ration of life was greater with them than it
is with us ; indeed, it may be doubted if it
was so great. And they have obtained
more credit for their early rising and retir
ing than they deserve ; they had but few
inducements to sit up late; they had very
little literature, and what they had could
only be read by a few ; their music and
games were in a rude anil pr.mitive condi
tion, ana they were accustomed to gorge
Ihemtmlves, aud to drink to such au extent
that it would liavo been a diDicult mutter
for them to keep their eyes open long after
supper. They took four meals a dtty, nil of
the m subftnntinl. Henry 1. endeavored to
reduce tho number to two, the meal to be
taken at :i o'clock in tho morning, and tho
supper at o iu the afternoon ; but he wns
1111111)11 to carry out this design. It would
have been contrary to nature and very in
jurious if he had carried it out, and so it
was very properly resisted. Iu hdward
III. 's time 1377,) the usual dinner
hour was nine in the morning. A century
or so later, in Edward IV. 's time (1401
147:1,) tho general hour of breakfast with
tho nobility, whose meals were considera
bly earlier than those of tradesmen, yeo
men, etc., was 7 o'clock ; dinner was serv
ed at 10 in tho morning, and generally last
ed three hours ; supper followed nt 4, and
there was a collation nt 9, befote retiring.
This, collation consisted of beer and spiced
wine,. Uuriugtho reiuns of Edward IV.,
Mary,'. Bnd Elizabeth (10741003,) the
hours became later. The nobility, gentry
and students dined at 11 in the forenoon,
ami tupped between 5 and o to tho alter
not n, but the merchants, especially those
of London, did not dine before 12, and they
supped at 0 ; the farmers dined at uoon and
supped nt 7 or tf o'clock. .Towards the
close of Elizabeth's reign (1000,) the din
ner hour was changed from 11 to 12,and this
remained tho hour until the time of Wil
liam III. (10S8-1702.)
The entire change in the habits of the
people of England, which took place atcr
the restoration of Charles II. (1000,) ( n
tributed to iucrcase the lateness of he
hours for everything. It becamo fashion
able for people of rank and fortune to -have
breakfast in bed and lo hold receptions by
the bedside. Tho aucient habit of all the
members of tho 'household taking their
mi-als- together was nbrogated. Domestic
followers aud retatiivers came to be looked
upon as "servauts,1 and were treated a
strangers to the family. They were limit
ed to certaiu hours for their meals, and
these hours were not allowed to interfero
with those of their masters. Ilonco, it be
camo necessary to prepare two sots of meals
in every household whrra there wero serv
ants ono for the' latter aud oue for the fam
ily. This lies at tho afoot of tho modern
late Lours. As tho apartments occupied
during the day by Ihe family had to be
cleaned aud put in order so as to be lit to
receive them when they rose in the morn
ing, the family refrained from rising uutil
the domestics had timo to do this. Ano
ther cause of late hours has been the vastly
improved lighting up of the interior of
houses. Even the old wax and tallow cau
dles were a great improvement on what
went before; then canto tho Argnnd lamp, ,
and other brilliant Uiuips, chandeliers, and
lastly, gas, which have entirely obviated
the incouvenience which our encostors suf
fered from darkness. The great pressure
of business is still another cause. This is
bo severe, nowadays, iu large cities, that
men engaged in professional und mercan
tile pursuits cannot spare the timo to do
more Una to take lunch in the middle of
the day, so they postpone their dinner un
til the close of their day's work. But still
another, and, perhaps, a more potent cause
thuu all for late dinners, is ton suburban
railway. In very large cities men of busi
ness are uo longer, ao formerly, compelled
to reside ucar their stores or olQct s ; they
can uow, by means of railways or horse
cars, be conveyed from suburban residen
ces to their places of business iu less time
than it took their fathers to walk from their
town houses ; hence, they have more time
to devote to business, if need be, and they
retire, when it is over, to their families, it
a later hour.

. How TO Coorc A Dinner. A corres
pondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
writing from Memphis, says: 1 heard of n
Young lady the other day up iu middlo
Tennessee who, as the river men say, has
taken another schttto. The story told about
her did m soul good, and for the comfort
ot otberhult-Btarved dyspeptics like myself.
whose tardy Sensatiou is a dec led by
means of fried chicken, soggy buiscuits,
greasy hash, and sole leather fritters, I'll
relato it. For years past as a matter of
form something hnnded down from rcruoic
antiquity tho oUiccrs of the county fair
held in the neighborhood where this young
lady lived had been in tho habit of otrering
a premium to the lady (unmarried) cooking
the beet dinner. It was a dead letter. No-
ootiy nad contested tor the premium within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant. This
year, however, the young lady of whom I
am speaking determined to compete for tho
prize. Her name I wish I could immor
talize it wns Kate Jannway. The fair
men set up a stove for her, stretched a can
vass to shield horfrom the sun, and about
11 o'clock of the tidtt dav she went to work.
The matter had been talked of by every
one in the neighborhood, and curiosity was
vii up-ioc, crowu collected around tne
place whero the stove was set up early In
tho morning, and kept increasing, but when
M iss Kate herself.a buxum. handsome trirl
of nineteen, daughter of the ex-Mayor of
mo town, nppcnrcu ou mo ground, and,
putting on a white apron and rolling up
her sleeves, commenced operations, nil oth
er attractions were nothiug. Every one
was eager lo see so novel a sight. There
was a tree near by which soon becamo
black with spectators who had climbed up
to get a better view. The branches were,
finally, so burdened that one by one they
broke, precipitating those upon them to the
ground, uutil only oue man was left in the
tree. He sat in a lofty fork, with eyes riv
eted on the scene below. No amount of
Ccrsuasion by those beneath, envious cf his
clter view, could induce him to come
down even a bribe of 10 failed, lie said
ho was bound to see or die. Meanwhile
tho dinner preparations went ou apace.
Tho savory smell of the cooking food seem
ed to iutoxicate Ihe crowd, which pressed
nearer and nearer. It took all the police
force on tho grounds to keep order.
The line arrived for the trotting match,
announced ns the sport of the day, but the
amphi-lhcalre was empty. The judges
(with tho exception of one crabbed old wid-
owcr,) the timers all were missing, and so
nothiug could bo done. At half-past .two j
tho dinner was announced ready, nad t he !
judges, happy men, suited themselves at '
t lie table the crowd regarding them with
ill-disguised envy. A roast ol beef, deli -
calefy doue, was put steammg hot upon ;ho
table, then followed com pudding, whose
delicate aroma fell upou tho olfactories of

Oue old fellow, proprietor of a store and
owner of a big sawmill, proposed to tho
young lady on the spot, but he was quick
ly coiiared aud led oil' the grounds by two
younger aspirants, who made common
cause against the aged suitor, sawmill and
all. That youug lady was tho centre of at
traction iu her town after the cooking feat.
She received twenty-iive otters of mnrriage
the first week, nnd her fame spread through
all tho country around. Au old bachelor
fellow down in Grundy comity, with a farm
so big that it takes him' all day to ride
around it, and cattle on a hundred hills,

young men of the plac sued out a writ of.a
habeas corpus to prevent her being carried
out of tho county. They were too late.
This is, I am aware, a rather bad ceding
for so good a story, but devotion to the
truth compels me to give nothing but the
simple, unvarnished reality.
She ought to hnve married that fellow
who sat up there iu the crotch of the tree
