B. JOHNSTON,
Physician of this oerebratod InatltnUoa, hS

DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness of the Back or Limbs, Strictures,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, Involun

of Sight or Giddiness, Diseasa of the Head,
Throat, Nose or Bkln, Affections of Liver. Lungs,
Btomach or Bowelsthcee terrible Disorders
arising from the Solitary nabits of Yonth thotoJ
secret ana solitary practices more ratal 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. IOUNGXIEN
especially, who have become tbe vlotim. of Boll
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of young men of the most exalted
talents and brilliant Intellect, who might other
wise have entranced liatculng Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or waked to ecatacy tbe
living lyre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Yonng Men contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Proereative Power Impotency), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakuess, Ner
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the cars of Dr. J.
may religiously confide In bis honor as a gentle
man, and contidcutly rely unon his skill as a Pav.
siclau.
ORGANIC WEAKNESS,
Impotency, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and marriage Impossible Is the penalty
paid by tho 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
tho subject will pretend to deny that the powor

should apply Immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Koyal College of Surgeons, Loo
dou, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges In the United States, and the greater
part of whose lfe has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected some of the most astonishing cures
thnt were ever known ) many troubled with ring
ing in the head aud ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at snddea sonuds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, wcro cared
iiumedlntelv.
. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those wbo have Injnrrd
themselves by improper lndulgeno and solitarv
habits, which rum both body aud mind, uutlltuig
them for either businoss, study, society or uiar
ringe. Tkf.se are some of the sad and melancholy
ctl'ccts produced by early habits of youth, vizi
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in ths
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Norvous Irritability, Derangement of Diuestive
Fuuctious, Gcncrul Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, &c.
Mentally The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, bell-ilist rut t,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, ike, ure some of the
evils produced.
Tuot sands of persons of all ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing tbeir vigor, becoming, weak., paic, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about tho eyes, cough uud symptoms of contump
tion.
YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac
tice ludulged In when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, tbe
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud if not cured, renders marriage Impos
sible, and destroys both mind uud body, should
apply Immediately.
tt.it a pity luat a young man, tne nope oi nis
country, the darling of his parents, should be
sutttchei from all prospects and enjoyments of
Ule, by the consequence or deviating irom ine
falh of nature and ludulgiug in a certain secret
mljit. Such persons ut sT, before coutcmplaliug
MARRIAGE.
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness, ludeed w ithout these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage I the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with th melan
choly rellection, that the happiness of another
becomes butruted with ourown.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease. It too often Happens tnut an
ill-timed seute of stiaine, or dread of discovery,
deters b'oi from applvliii: to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ot
this horrid disease muke their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pnins iu tbo bead aud limbs, dimness or sight,
deafness, nodes on tho shiu bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate or tbe moutu or tue nones oi ine noseiait
iu. and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful sutienug, uy sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
uo traveller returns."
It Is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through fulling
into the bauds of Ignoraut or ouskilllul rUL.
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Pol
sou, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution, aud
incapable or curing, Keep me nniiappv suuercr
mouth after month tukiug their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and iuntead of being restored
to a reuewal ot Lile V Igor aud Happiness, in des
pair leave blin with ruiued Health to sigh over
his galling disappoiuuueut.
To such, therefore, Dr. Jobxbtom pledges him
self to preserve tbe most Inviolable becrecr, and
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and tba first In
this couutry, vix i Euglaud, France, Philadelphia
aud elsewhere, Is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy In tbe world
lor all diseases or imprudence.

THE WIFE.
BY WASHINGTON IRVNO.
The treasures of the deep are not to precious
As are the concealed comforts of man
Locked up In a woman's love. I scent the air
Of blessings, when I come but near the house.
What a delicious breath marrlspe sends forth,
The violet beds not sweeter. AfuMIeron.
I have often liad occasion to remark tho
fortitude with which woman Btistain the
most overwhelming reverses of fortune.
Those disasters which brenk down tho
spirit of a man, and prostrate him in the
dust, oceru to call forth all the energies of
the softer sex, and such intrepidity uod el
evation to their character, that at times ap
proaches to sublimity. Nothing can be more
touching than to behold a soft tender fe
male, who had been all weakness and do
pvnendenco, and all alive to trivial rough
ness whil treading the prosperous paths
of life, suddenly ruing In mental force to
be (ho comforter of her husband under mis
fortune, and abiding with unshrinking
firmness, the bitterest blasts of adversity,
As the vino which has long twined 'its
graceful foliago about the oak, and been
lifted by it into sunshine, will when the
hardy plant is rifUd by the thunderbolt,
cling around it with its caressing tendrils,
aud bind up tho shattered boughs, so is it
beautifully ordained by Providence, that
woman who is the more dependent and or
nament of man in his happier hours, should
be his Btay and solace whom smitten with
sudden calamity ; winding herself iuto the
recess of his nature, tenderly supporting
the drooping head and binding up the bro
ken heart. I was once congratulating a
friend, who had around him a blooming fa
mily', knit together iu the strongest affec
tion. "I can wish you uo better lot.'aid
he, with wilhusiiisni, "than to have a wife
and children. Jf you are prosperous, they
are to a bar is your prosperity ; if otherwise
they arc a comfort to you."
And, indeed, I have observed that a mar
ried man filling into misfortune is more
apt to retrieve his situstiou in the world
than a single one ; partly because, ho is
more stimulated to exertion by the neces
sities of the helpless and beloved things,
who depend upon him for subsistence ; but
chiefly been use his spirits are soothed and
relieved by domestic endcarmeuls, and his
self-respect kept alive by finding, that
though all abroad is darkness and humilia-1
tion, yet there is still a better world of
lovo at home, of which he is the monarch.
Whereas a single man is apt to run to waste
and sell'-negluct ; to fancy himself lowly
nuil abandoned, and his heart to full to ruin
like some deserted, mansion, for want of an
inhabitant.
These observations cull to tuiud a little
domestic story of which I was once a wit
ness. My friend, l-eslie, had married a
beautiful uud accomplished girl, who had
been brought up iu tbo midst ot lasluona
ble lire. Mio hud, it is true, no fortune,
but that of my friend was ample ; and he
delighted in tho anticipation of indulgiug
her iu every elegant pursuit, administering
to those delicale tastes aud fancies that
spread a kind of witchery about the sex.
Her hie," said he, "shall bea lairy tale."
The very ditVcrence in their characters
produced an harmonious combination ; he
was ot a romantic anu somewimi serious
cast; she was all lite aud gladuess. 1 have
often noticed the mute rapture with which
her sprightly powers made her the delight ;
and how, in the midst of appluusu, her eye
would still turn to him, as it tneru alone
she sought favor and acceptance. When
leaning ou his arm, her slcuder form con
trasted lincly with his tall manly person.
Tbo fond, confiding air with which she
looked up to him, seemed to call forth a
flush of trumphant pride and chcrishiug
tenderness, us ifhu doled on his lovely bur
den for its very helplessness. Never did a
couple net lorwarn on tho Uowery patti ot
early and well-suited marriage with fairer
prospect of felicity.
It was the misfortune of my friend, how
ever, to have embarked his prosperity in
large speculations, and ho had nut been
married mauy mouths, when by a succes
sion of sudden disasters was swept away
from him, and he found himself reduced to
almost penury. For it time he kept his sit
uation to himself and went about with a
haggard countcnanco, and a breaking heart
His life was but a protracted agony ; and
what rendered it more iusupportable was
tho necessity of keeping u; a smilo in t he
presence of his wile ; for he could not bring
himself to overwhelm her with the news.
She saw, however, with tho quick eyes of
afl'ectiou, that all was not well with him.
bhe marked ins altered looks and sttneii
sighs, that was not to be deceived by his
sickly and vapid attempts at cheerfulness.
She tasked all her sprightly powers and
tender blandishments to win him back to
happiness; but she only drove the arrow
deeper into his soul. The more ho saw
cause to love her, the more torturing was
tho thought that lie was soon to make hr
wretched. A little while, thought he, and
tho smile will vanish from that cheek the
song will die away from those lips the lus
ter of those eyes will be quenched with sor
row, and tho happy heart, which now beats
lightly in that bosom, wiil be weiged down,
liku iniuo. ly tho cares aud miseries of the
would.
A leuath ho came to me ono day, aud
related his whole situation in a tone of the
deepest despair. W hen I heard him through
I inquired, does your wife know all this V"
At the question hu burst into an agony of
tears. "For God's 6ake !" cried he, "if
you have any pity on me don't mention
my wile ; it is tne inougut oi uer uiu unvcs
mo almost to madness."
"And why not ?" said I "she must
know it sooner or later, you cannot keep it
long from her, aud the intelligence may
break upon her in a moro startling man uer
than if imparled by yourself, for the ac
cents of those wo lovo soften tho hardest
tidings. Besides, you are depriving your
self of the comforts of her sympathy; and
not merely that, but also endangering the
ouly bond tbat can keep hearts together
an unreserved community of thought and
feeling. She will soon perceive that some
thing is secretly praying upon your mind,
aud true love will not brook reserve, it
feels undervalued and outiagcd, when evsn
the sorrows of those it loves are concealed
from it."
"Oh, but my friend ! to think what a
blow I am to cive all her future prospects-
how I am to striko her very soul to tho
earth, by tolliug her that her husband is a
beggar I that she is to forego ull tho elegan
cies of life all the pleasures of society to
shrink with me intoiudigence and obscuri
ty I To tell ber that X nave dragged her

refinements cf opulence. How can she
bear neglect ? She has been the idol of so
ciety. Oh I it will break her heart !"
1 saw his grief was eloquent, and I let it
have its flow ; for sorrow relieves itself by
words. When this paroxysm had subsided,
and ho had relapsed into moody silence, I
resumed the subject gently, and urged him
to break the siluatiou at ouco to his wile.
Uo shook his Load mournfully, but posi
tively. '15ut how can you keep from it? It is
necessary she should know, that you may
take steps proper to tho alteration of your
circumstances. You must chango your
style of living nay," observing a pang to
cross his countenance, "don't let that af
flict yoH. I am sure you have never placed
your happiness in outward show you
have yet friends-warm friends, who will
not thiuk the worso of you for being less
splendidly lodged, amr surely it docs uot
require a palace to be happy with Mary."
"I could be happy with her," cried ho,'
convulsively, "in shovel I 1 could go down
with her iuto poverty and dust! I could
I could God bless herl fiod bias
he. !" bursting into a transport ofVgrkvf
and tenderness. ' . ,.-
"And beliovs me, my friend, V said I,
stepping up and grasping him wfiVmly by
tho baud, "believe me it can be li source of
pride and triumph to her it will call forth
all the latent energies and fervent sympa
thies of her nature, for she will rejoice to
prove that she loves you for yourself. There
is in every true woman's heart a spark of
heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the
brond daylight of prosperity, but which
kiudlcs up, and beams and blazes in the
dark hour of adversity. No one knows
what the wife .of his bosom is uo man
knows what a minstering angel she is uu
til he has gone with her through the liery
trials of this wordl."
There was som thing in the earnestness of
my manner, and the figurative style of my
language that caught the excited itnmagi
nation of Lcslio. I knew the auditor I hud
to deal with, and followed up the impres
sion 1 had macje. I linishcd by persuad
ing him to go home and unburden his sad
heart to his wife.
I must confess notwithstanding ull I had
said, I felt some little solicitude for the re
sult. v ho can calculate on the fortitude
of one whose lite has been a round of plea
sure ? Her gay spirit might revolt nt thu
tlownwatd path of humility suddenly point
ed out before her, and might cling to the
sunny regions iu which they had hitherto
revelled. JJesides, ruin lu fashionable lite
is accompanied by so many galling mortifi
cations, to which in other ranks it is a
stranger. In short I could not meet Les
lie the next morning without trepidation. I
tie had made nis disclosure.
"Aud how did she bear it ?"
"Like an angel ! It seemed rather to be
a relief to her mind, Cr she threw her arms
around my neck, aud asked if this was ull
that had made mo unhappy H. p
nirl " ndded ". ') ciiuuot realize, the
chango we must undergo,
Nie had no idea :
of povert v but in the abstract, aha has only
read of it iu poetry, where it is allied to
love. She feels as yet no privation, she
sutlers uo loss of accustomed conveniences
nor elegancies. When wo como practical
ly toexperience its soul id cuics, its paltry
wants, its petty humiliations then will be
tho real trial."
"Hut," said I, "now that you have got
over the Bcvercsl task, that of breaking it
to her, the sooner you let the world iuto the
secret the belter. The disclosure may bo
mortifying ; but then it is a single misery
and soon over, whereas you otherwise suf
fered it in anticipation every hour during
the day. It is uot poverty so much as pre
tence, that harrassos it ruined mau ho
struggles between n proud mind and uu
empty purse the keeping up of a hollow
show that must come to an end. Have the
courage to appear poor, and you disarm
poverty of its sharcst sting." On this
point I found Leslie perleetly prepared.
He had no pridu himself, and as to his wife,
sho was only anxious to conform to their
altered fortunes.
Some days after he called upon me in the
evening, lie had disposed of his dwelling
house, and taken a small coltago in the
country a few miles from towu. He had
been busied all day sending out furniture.
Tho new establishment required a few ar
ticles, and those of the simplest kind. All
the splendid furniture of his late icsidcnco
had been sold excepting his wife's harp.
That, he said, was loo closely associated
with the idea of herself ; it Monzcd to the
little story of their loves ; for some of tho
sweetest 'moments of their courtship wero
those when he leaned over that instrument
and listened to the tones of her melting
voice. 1 could not but smile at this in
afniiee of romautie L'allanlrv iu a dotin?
husband. j
Ho was going out to the cottage, where :
his wife had been all day superintending its
arriiUiiement. Mv fueiiugs had Ik-coiuo i
strongly interested in the progress of this
family story, and, as it was a lino evening.
I ottered to accompany him. He was now

as ho walked out tell iuto a

"Poor Mary '" at length broke, with a
heavy sigh, from his lip.
"And what of her f" 1 usked ; "has any
thing happened to her V
'.What 1" said he darting an impatient
glance, is it nothing to do teuucea to tins
paltry siluatiou to'be caged iu a misera
ble cottage to be obliged to toil almost
alone in tho concerns of her wretched hab
Italian V
Has sho then repined at the change ?"
"ll'nined 1 Sho bad been nothing but
swecluess and good humor. Indeed, the
seems iu belter spirits than 1 nave ever
known her ; she bus been to mo all lovo,
and tenderness and comfort V"
"Admirable girl 1" exclaimed I. "i ou
call yourself poor, my friend ; you never
wero so ncn you never Knew tne uounu
less treasures of excellence you possess In
that woman."
"Oh but, my friend, if this first meeting
at the cottage were over, 1 theu could be
comfortable. But this the first day of real
experience ; she had been introduced into
au humble dwelling she has, for tho first
time known the fatigues of domestio em

around her ou a homo destitute of every
thing eleguut almost of everything cou
vouieut : aud may now be sitting down,
exhausted and spiritless, broodiug ovor a
prospect of f uture poverty."
There was a degree of probability ,n this
picture that I could not gainsay, so we
walked ou iu silence.
After turning from the main road up a
narrow luoe, so thickly shaded with forest
tree as to five it a complete air of seclu-
siu, we camo in sigiit of tbe cottage. It

ers tastefully disposed about the door, aud
on tho grass plat in front. A small wiekct
gate opened upon a footpath that wound
through somo shrubbery .o the door. Just
as we approached wo beard the sound of
music Leslie grasped my arm ; we paused
and listened. It was Mary's voice singing
iu a stylo of the most touching simplicity ;
a little ballad of which hor husband was
peculiarly fond.
I felt Leslie's hand tremble on my arm.
Ifo stepped forward to hear more distinctly,
iiis slep mado a noise on the gravel walk.
A bright, beautiful faco glanced out at tho
window and vnuished a light footstep wa
heard and Mary came tripping forth to
meet us ; ahe was dressed in a pretty rural
dress of white, a few wild flowers wero
twisted in her Quo hair, a fresh bloom was
on her cheek, her whole countenance beam
ed with smiles I had never seen her look
so lovely. "My dear George'.' cried she,
"I am so glad you have como 1 1 have been
