MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss

may religiously confide iu his honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely uoon his skill us a Phy
sician. 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 the victims of improper Indulgences.
Young persons aro too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful consciences
that may ensue. Now-, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation Is lost sooner by those falling luto
Improper habits than by the prudent I Resides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy oHVpriiur,
the most serious and destructive synipl oms to both

DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Purgcons, Lou
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges In the United States, nnd tho irrcater
part of whose lfe has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Prls, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has ellectcd some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and cars when asleep, gre.it
nervousness, being alarmed nt sudden sounds,
hasbfulncss, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses ull those who have lujnrrd
themselves by Improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin botli body uud mind, imlilting
them for cither business, study, society or mar
riage. Tiif.sk arc some of the. sad and melancholy
effects produced by early bahits of youth, viz":
Weakucss of the Back and Limbs, Pains lu the
Buck and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of .Mus
cular Power, Pulpitatlouof the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, Gcueiul Debility, Sunptoms of Con
sumption, Ac.
Mentally The fearful effects on the min i
are much to be dreaded Lost of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, Ac, ure some of the
evils produced.
Thousands of persons of nil lines can now
Judge w hat Is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. v
YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac
tice indulged In when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at schsol, the
ellccts of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and If not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, uud destroys both uilud and body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects nnd enjoyments of
life, by the couscqticnee of deviating from tho
path of nature and indulging iu a certuln secret
bubit. Such persons mi st, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and lieily are the most
necessary requisite to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the Joarney through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage j the prospect
hourly darkens to the view the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled w ith the melan
choly reflection, that the bappluua of unothcr
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When tho misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
tills painful disease, it too often bappeus that an
lll-tiincd sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and res)eetuhility, cau alone befricud
lii in, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol
tliis horrid disease make their upH-urunce, such
us ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturul
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shiu bones and urius,
blotches ou the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful euUcriug, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It Is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to tills terrible disease, through fulling
Into the hands of Iguoruul or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of thut deadly Pol
sou, Mercury, etc., destroy the constitution, aud
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
mouth after month tukiug their noxious or in
jurious compounds, aud instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, In des
pair leave bim with ruined Health to sigh over
Lis galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledge him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, aud
from hi extensive practice and observations iu
the great Hospitals of Europe, aud the first in
this country, viz i England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, 1 enabled to oiler the most cer
tain, speedy und effectual remedy iu the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

A FUN NY ELOPEMENT.
HOW IT WAS PLANNED AND EXECUTED.
"I'll toll you wlmt it i8,wiru,"8aiJ Peter
Smith, and lie eiujiliasizud the remark by ft
wise giiFtku of thj forvtingnr, "thino have
pot into a very bud way. The farm is
iiiortat-d to this last cent it is worth, find
1 owe a heap of money beside moro by a
long Mio'u than I know how to pay. What
is to be doneV"
i-l nin sure I don't kuow, Peter," re
plied tho bothered wile, "but it seems ton
awful bad to bo turned out of house and
lio:nc at our liuw of life. Now if our sou
John would ouly marry Jouas llrowu'e
daughter Sail v, it would help us outaina.
ingly. The lirowns, you see, are well oil',
atid the connection would be a perfect gold
mine to us. Of course they'd Rive Snlly
the hundred acres of land aud tilings that
they've always said I hey would."
"That's a good idea, wife," and Peter
brightened up amazingly. "Vou always
were a cute woman, aud tho notion does
you credit. Uut do you think the young
folks would take to il?"
"I dou't know, but it seems to me that
they've always taken a great notiou to each
other uver since they were children beeu
more like brother and sister than anything
else."
"But suppose tho lirowns would object,
as most likely they would? You know wo
ain't on good terms thick as the young
folks have been."
"I'll tell you what, Peter, is just the
thing for us to do put up John to elope
with Sally."
"Agreed. I'll leave it all to you to man
age." Thus tho matter was settled, aud the
scheming ouple went to bed to dream of a
speedy release from their tinancial embar
rassments. Coincidences aro sometimes of the most
curious character almost surpassing be
lief in some instances.
About tho tiuio of the above conversation
between Mr. and Mrs. Smith, their neigh
fa rs, Jonas lirown uud wife, held au iiu
p'ortaut con erence.
"J)o you remember that note for six hun
dred dollars 1 gave for stock lust spring?"
asked Jonas.
"Yes," replied his wife.
"Well, it's coining due iu about a mouth,
aud how under the suu we're going to pay
for it 1 don't know."
"Mortgage the farm."
' We've done that till it can't be mort
gaged another cent. I'm clean discour
aged, and there is Sally wanting a pi-ino.
Where the money is to come from is a myjs-te-ry
to me, We're ou the verge of bank
ruptcy." "1 wish Sally would marry John Smith
gracious knows they're together enough
to take a notion that way."
"Yes, but 1 don't see how that would
help us auy."
"You don't, eh? Well, I do. Ain't
his folks rich? aud would'nt they set him
up handsomely? Then we could stand
some chance of getting help through Sally."
"Thai's a gocd plau," was Jonns' con
clus o i, alter profound meditation; "but
the d'.llieulty is, that the Smiths are not ou
go id terms with us, aud would be likely to
oppose the match."
"Then the best plau is to set the young
foks up to au elopement."
Soilchauced that the lirowns and tho
Sinilhs planned lo dispose of their children
to their own pecuniary advantage. Tho
next step in each case was to mould the
young ones to the proper shiie.
John Smith was a handsome, brawny
country fellow, with plenty of good sense,
and au ocean of love for Sally lirown.
When his parents proposed his marrying
Her, lie itilormetl I In-in mat lie would gladly
do so, but he feared her parents would ob
ject. Theu his father slyly suggested an
elopemetit, aud oll'eied to it id in currying
out such au exploit. Johu said he would
think about it.
Sally was a rustic maiden with much
reduess of cheeks, and rejoicing in the pos
session of tho lasting coiiieliuess which is
derived from a bright smile, a sweet tem
per, a pair of clear earuest eyes, made none
the less expressive by the near neighbor
hood of a saucy little retrousse nose. Her
wavy brown hair had not a ripple out of
place, aud her plump little figure was eu
cased in a well titling dress, which was
neat ness itself. Wheu her parents spoke
to her about John, she blushed becomingly,
aud, after close tpiestiouing, admitted that
she would be "tickled to death" to marry
bim. She further stated that they were
running over with love for each other;
that they had long ago settled the question
of ultimate uniou, but that they feared pa
rental objection.
"Xow, I'll tell you what, Sally," said
Mrs. lirown, "you know pa and I dote on
you, aud would do anything to make you
happy.
es, we would do anything to make

themselves; for how could true lovers keep
a secret, and such a secret? And they did
not. At tho next meeting each told tho
other all ho or she had been told by paren
tal lips, but ne'lher could conceive tlio ob
ject of tho old folks. However they were
not over disposed to question the matter.
They were too glad that the consumma
tion so devoutly wished seemed so near at
hand, to question how it had been brought
about. Conscious that their progenitors
were up to some kind of trickery, they ro
solved at once to avail themselves of tho
opportuuity to elope before any change iu
the aspect of affairs should occur. Having
thus concluded, they proceeded lo lead
their parents astray.
"I've beeu talking to John," said Sally,
demurely, to the old folks, "and wo have
concluded to elope it is all settled, and
we're rendy just as soou as it can be ar
ranged." "I saw Sally last uight," said John to
his parents, "and she agreed to elope with
me; so 1 think tho thing had better be hur
ried right along."
One week from this limn all the prelimi
naries had beeu arranged. Sally had liecn
supplied with a bran new dress aud all the
other fixings, and John had been given
enough money to buy a suit of wedding
toggery. The respective parents were
laughing in their respective sleeves at their
own cunning. The lirowns were over
joyed at outwitting the Smiths, the Smiths
were happy at fooling the lirowns, aud
both chuckled over a speedy relief from fi
nancial embarrassment.
The eventful night came, and John
hitched up one of his father's horses and
drove over toward Sally's domicil. When
withiu a dozen rods of the house ho gave ft
signal whistle, and Sally came out.' Un
der tho circumstances they feared no in
lerf ireuce, and did not dee.ti it necess iry
to exercise any great amount of caution.
John gave Sally u resounding kiss, helped
her into the wagon, and away they went.
Shortly after they departed, two scenes
transpired which must bo here recorded.
Jonas lirown returned from the village
store, and entered his house iu a state of
great mental ami bodily excitement. The
latter was caused by fast walking, and the
former by but the couyersatiou Rial eu
suetl will' best explain.
"They're gone!" exclaimed Mrs. Urowu
cxuHiugly, "and they'll bo hitched in au
hour or less."
"Tho deuce they have! 1 hope to get here
in lime enough to stop 'cm."
"To stop 'em?"
"Yes; that's what I said."
"What for?"
"Just this: Old Smith hain't worth a
cent can't pay what ho owes will bo sold
out within u mouth it's the talk of Ihe
wholo village."
'(.toodness gracious!" gasped the old
lady, "what shall we do?"
"I'll tell you what I'll do. Sally shan't
marry the beggar; I'll follow them to
Squire Jones', and get there before the cer
emony." With this ho hurriedly hitched up a
horse, and spun away toward the Squire's
house, about live miles distant.
The other important scene mentioned
was at the Smith residence, and was open
ed by the precipitate entrance of Mrs. S.,
with the breathless exclamation,
"lias he gone?"
"Who?" inquired the hubbaud.
"John."
"1'es," and Smith rubbed his hands,
"he went all of an hour a;o."
"Dou't stand there rubbiug your hands,"
screamed the lady, "but harness up the old
inure just us quick as you cau, and follow
'em. The liiowns ain't worth a cent iu
the world; Kate llobinsou just told me so
and a mortgage on their farm going to
be foreclosed. So Sally wou't gut a cent."
Smith hurried the old marc into tho har
ness, and rattled away toward Squire
Jones' residence.
John aud Sally had proceeded leisurely
about lour miles, the former driving with
one ui in, und holding Sally ou the seat
with the other, wheu theybenrd the sound
of wheels a short distance iu the rear.
They hud just passed a loug beud iu tho
road, aud looking across, they saw, re
vealed by the moonlight, the pursuing
llrowu.
"Why, that's pal" exclaimed Sally.
"Yes, aud lie moans mischief, I'll bet,"
said Johu.
"What shall we do?" squealed Sally.
"I'll show you," said Johu.
Jumping lroiu the wagon, ho removed
a long rail from the fence, aud placed it
across the roadway. Theu he drove on
aguiu at a rale that made the horse steam
like a boiler.
Jtiowu caiue on at a fearful rule, ouly to
be summarily checked by the rail. The
horse jumped the rail, but the frout wheel
collapsed uuder the collision, lirown was
tumbled out, aud the frightened horse ruu
away with the wreck of the chicle.
Just as lirown was picking himself up
from the ditch, he saw the accideut re
peated; this time Smith being the leading
uetur, aud his mare galloping away with
the four wheels.
lirown and Smith were Inveterate ene
mies, aud neither would speak; but both
started on a rapid ruu for the Squire's,
about a mile off, where they airiveU very
much out of breath. They burst into the
house like a whirlwind, just iu time to hear
the words:
"I uow pronounce you man and wife."
"Hold on!" yelled lirown, "1 object."
"So do 1," screamed llrowu.
"You are a little too late," remarked
the Squire. "Nothing but a divorce cuu
lix it now."
The parents fumed and glared at each
other.
"1 am sure, pa," pleaded tho daughter,
"that you aud ma both said "
"Daughter," hurriedly interposed old
Browu. turning very red but striviug lo
uppear very dignified, "1 am not disposed !
lo bo tyrauiiicai, now iimi you aro mar
ried I shall not refuse my blessing.."
"Aud you, father," said Johu, "we
would never have eloped if you and mother
hadn't said"
"Never mind, my son," luterrupted
Smith, "I will uot bo hard wilh you -1
forgive you both."
JSrowu and Smith thereupou becamo re
conciled, aud all rodo home iu the eloper's
wagon.
"Where are the meu of '72 ?" shouted a
Newton orator. "Dead," responded a sad
looking mail iu tho middle aisle. The
Newton orator was surprised at the iutel-
ligeuco of his audieuce. j
IF tho man what wrote that same, sim- !
plo Beautiful Snow, had to shovel off two J
hundred feet of sidewalk every time, he
would sing of it in a different style.

Dkatii. We have all to die. How often
we hear this expiession from saint aud sin
ner. But it is really tho best seutence the
Christian can use to convey the idea of en
tering his long looked for home. Is it uot
a blessing to die, rather that we may have
lerleet rest? Is it not the way that God
has wisely provided to take his children
home? Does the Christiau really look at
his passago to glory as a druJgling task

many of them do not; yet some of the more
nervous look through darkness tulo heaven,
but is it not caused from the gloomy way of
which death is spoken, rather than their
own rational judgment? Had we a near
and dear earthly liiend iu a far oil' laud,
would we hesitate to brave Ihe rolling bil
lows and the stormy seas that we may sec
that dear face, to grasp tho baud, to hear
that loving voice? No, wo would deem it
