DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeon?, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges ln the United Stutes, and the greater
part of whose Ifo bus been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia mid elsewhere,
has effected buuic of the niort aptniiishinir cures
that were ever known j niiiny troubled with ring
lug ln the head and ears when asleep, great
Dcrvousuess, beiii alarmed ut sudden soamls,
bashfulrjcke, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes w ith derangement uf uiiud, were cured
Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injurrd
themselves by Improper indulgence nnd solitary
I habits, which ruin both body uud uilnd, uuUttiug
them fur either business, study, society or niur
i riagc.
'J iiesk nrc some of the snd and melancholy j

evils produced.
Tuocsaxds of pcrsonB of ail ages can now
judge whut is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
tout the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac
tice Indulged lntvlien alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at selieol, the
ellccts of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud tf not cured, renders marriage Impos
sible, and destroy both mind und body, should
apply iinmcdiulcly.
What a pity that a young man, the hopeof his
country, the darling of bis parents, should be
snatched from all prospects und enjoyment of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature und indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons mi st, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind uud bady are the most
necessary requisite to promote conuubiul happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage j tbe prospect
hourly darkens to the view j the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with themeluu
choly reflection, that the hupplucsa of another
becomes blighted with our o n.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided aud imprudent votary of
pleasure Cuds that be has Imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happen that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deter him from applying to those who, from
education aud refpcetubility, can alone befriend
liim, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, tioelural
puius in tbe head aud limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on tbe shin bones and anus,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till nt last tbe
fialate uf the mouth or the bones of the nose full
u, and tbe victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to hi dreadful suileiiug, by 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 falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful 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 iu.
juriou compouuds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, iu dos
pair leav hlra with ruined Health to sigh over
hi galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable beerecv, aud
from hi extensive practice and observation iu
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first iu
this country, viz i England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to oiler the most ccr
taiu, speedy and effectual remedy In the world
for all disease .of imprudence.

REKSY HAY.
Tho fragrant wild roses lifted their jiink
chalices up towards the sunahiue and dew
of tho July heavens; the robins sans up
ronrous glues iu the branches of the old nit
pie orchard; and neither rose nor robin
was fairer or sweeter-voiced thau Bessy
llay as she stood among tho currant
bushes, culliug tho red, ripe, fruit under
tho shado of it huge jwar tree, where the
stone wall of the pardon was draped with
the emerald festoons of a wild critpc-vino,
while l'aul lirtcott stood leaning against tho
mossy trunk of tho pear tree, twisting a
bunch of blue bells in his hand.
"i know I'm poor, Ucssy," said lie, re
suming a conversation which had appa
rently lapsed iuto silcuco for a tnoni'int or
two, "but I stipposo poor people have as
much right to live and be happy as rich
ones."
"I suppose so too, raul."
"Ami I nni sure I am willing to work if
only I could flud somethiugto do."
Ue."sy glanced deprecatingly at him.
"Mr. Klton wants some ono to lake the
farm and work it "
'That is mere drudgery, and besides the
pay would not enable uio to marry and
support a wife comfortably. '
"We could wait, l'uul."
"You are very willing," said the young
man, bitterly. "I don't believe, lle.sy,
that you care for me as I do for you."
"O, raul!"
And a painful look catuo over the fair
young face.
"Well, then, what do you think of be
ing tutor to Mr. Sinclair's little boys?"
'iuanu you; i don't fancy the idea oi
being toad-eater to a pompous aristocrat
like Henry Sinclair."
"JJul, l'aul, we cau't always bo and do
what we like in this world," pleaded Bessy
with a troubled look shining iu her tender,
garuet-broivn eyc9.
"Easy philosophy for you."
And tho young man. Hung down his
stein ol blue bell.
"1 suppobo you would like to have mo
break stones upon the roads. I thought
you, at least, could sympathize with the
feelings of a gentlemau."
"So I do, l'aul; but I believe in the
Scripture doctrine of man's doiug with all
li is might whatever hi bauds liuds so to
do."
"I see how it is," said Paul Escott,
haughtily, "you are weary of our engage
ment; you want to break the worldly fet
ters that bind you. Very well, so let it be.
You are free."
Anil he strode away over tho high grass
muttering something about having sus
pected how it would turn out, ever siuco
.Norton Vau litugh had come down from
Loudon to sketch the scenery aud turu
tbe heads of all the girls.
Uessy Hay tuado a step or two to over
take him, but she checked herself iu an in
stant with a scarlet stain on her cheek aud
a gathering mit in her eyes.
"He ought to know betler,and ho does,"
she thought. "No, I will not follow liim.
llo will como back when the momentary
pique has woru itself away."
Iu tho meantime, Paul, vaulting over
the stone wall a lew paces below, had verv
nearly stumbled over tho prostrate form of
a man lying among the ted clover blossoms
in the island of shade cast by au umbrage
ous tree, and reading.
"Mr. Vau lit ugh."
Tiie young artist glanced up with a look
orscorti, showing his loag dark eye-lashes.
Paul bit his lip.
"Engaged iu a uoble occupation of eaves
dropping, ch?" he muttered.
"Come, uow, Eseott, dou't bo crusty ; I
didn't mean to overhear your conversation
but what was a fellow to do? This is tho
jolliesl place on the whole farm, aud I was
not to blame because Miss Hay came out
lookiug like Hebe's sell to gather red cur
rants, aud you follow her shadow. Come,
let's go down by the trout stream, and talk
over matters aud things iu general. Are
you iu earuest about wanting souictbiu
to do?"
"Of courso lam."
"Then suppose you just glance oyer this
letter that 1 received this morning from
my uucle. I've uo idea of expatriating my
self among the pig-tailed celestials for all
the fortunes that ever were made, liut for
au ambitious man read the letter, that's
all."
Paul Escott obeyed, almost dazzled for
tho moment by tho brilliant prospects it
Bcemed to open.
"You really give mo tho privilege of ac
cepting or refusing this situatiou," bo ex
claimed. "1 really do, and considering that I do
not want it myself, it is uo very great
stretch of generosity on my part. Only
you see, you have to decide at ouce, aud bo
in the city to report yourself at tuy uncle's
couutiug-house within four aud twenty
hours."
Paul sprang up flushed and eager.
"I'll do it. I'll show HoBsy Uay that I
am no do-nothing after all, and wheu a mo
tive really worth my while presents itself,
liut," glancing at his old-fashioned silver
watch, which contrasted so markedly with

of his old enemv, jealously took refuge in
silence. Xor (lid a long epistle from his
Auut Jemima, which contained more news
possible and Impossible than any gov
ernment bulletin, serve to cool tho tlamcs.
"Folks say," wroto the epistolary spin
ster, "that Eliza Hay is going to marry
the widower, Sinclair, becauso he's rich.
There was a deal of talk about her and that
young Van Brugh, but he went away all of
a sudden loiks thought it likely with a flea
in his car. Eliza knows pretty well which
side her bread is buttered on, and Sinclair
can't live long with that cough of his,"
It was no wonder that when pretty lJcssy
Hay made an excuse to come to Aunt Je
mima's and asked wistfully aud with a cer
tain quiver iu her voice if Paul's letter con
tained no message for her, tho elderly gossip-monger
answered ?
"Dear me no! You 'didn't expect to
hear did you ?"
Bessy went back home, her little heart
ns cold as her lead in bosom.
She had refused Xorton Van Brugh; sho
said ".No" to Mr. Sinclair, in spite of Aunt
Jemima's knowing prognostication!; and
people began to wonder if pretty Bessy Hay
was going to be an old maid alter all.
"Why doesn't he write to mo or Bend

"Why doesn't she answer my letter?"
thought Paul.
So the world wagged on until Mr. Es
colt came home from the far off tlowe.ry
land tvt indeed with the fortune of which
he had dreamed in such sanguine fashion,
but with n sufficient competence to live well
aud comfortable in a place as modest as
his native village.
It was a stormy November evening, with
threatcuings of suow in the chilly air, nnd
a low wind stirred the last withered leaves
upon the boughs, when he alighted nt tho
station, looking almost into eyes of Bessy
Hay, who had come to tho pnst-oflieo to
ask once again for tho L-ltcr that never
came.
How 6oldom aro out visions realized !
Bessy had dreamed a thousand times of
meeting Paul Escott, but never in such a
way as this.
"Paul," she quivered.
"Ah," said Paul dolling his stylish- fur
travelling cap, "1 hope your well 1"
For he did not exactly liko to call her
Mrs. Sinclair as yet.
The red stains of sunset had almost fad
ed out of the sky when he overtook Iter
about a huudred yards from tho station.
His heart smote him when ho saw the
look of meek endurance in her face.
'Are you alone, Bossy ?"
"Yes, Paul."
"I suppose," he said with nn effort,
"that I mubt call you by some new name

"Call me Bessy Hay." she answered
quielly.
"You nrc not married ?

lie drew a long breath that was almost

"Auut Jemima said But Bessy why did

"Why did you uot write to me Paul ?'

Paul, "but without his aid, could scarcely

Au InOlau'A Miwtuhc.
Somo mouths ago a lot of Sioux Indians
robbed a stage-coach on tho plains, and
found among the packages of freight a
clothes-wringer.
Ono of the chiefs had been in St. Louis
several times, and had observed certain
beings grinding terrific music out of a
machine with the same kind of a crank as
that upon the wringer, so a conviction
seized his soul that this was a barrel organ.
Ho bad the wringer carefully carried
back to camp, nud made up hit mind that
from that day forward the silence of that
solitary wilderness was going to be broken
by a ceaseless round of tunes and vibra
tions. First ho grasiicd tho crauk and began to
turn it, in order to show his braves how
the thing whs done.
He revolved it for sixteen hours, but no
music came.
Then tho other Indians took a baud, ono
after tho other, for a week.
Then the squaws were turned on, but
without any etlect.
l lien the duel went out nnd stolo a mule
aud a thrcsbiut-'-machtnu. and run-ril uu a
lot of blocks nud pulleys and ran a belt over
the crank ; Iheu exploded powder under tho
hind legs of that mule, so that Im kept
chargiug up tho inclined plane of that
tnrcstutig-machinc, aud tho wringer made
sixty revolutions a minute.
But it wouldn't work.
So tho chief came to the conclusion that
the concern was under some kind of a curse,
and he ran out the medicine-man, anil hud
a war-dance, and drove yellow pine stakes
through a couple of white captives, aud
jumped arouud and howled, while tho med-icine-man
played some wild, mysterious
music on a drum.
Then tho medicine-man hitched up tho
mule agaiu, and, after starting tho ma
chine, ho leaned up against it while ho mut
tered an exorcism.
In a couple of minute tho rubber rollers
clenched his breech-clout and began to
haul him in with his kuees doubled up
against his face.
When ho got half way through ho Btuek,
and tho machine stopped.
Ho couldn't move, and tho chief was
nfraid to tott'ih tho wringer, so the brawn
fell on tho doctor, nnd jabbed him with a
knife, nnd scalped him ; aud then they
buried him and the machine as they were.
This was the last attempt of the Sioux In
dians to cultivate the line arts.

Germain was of a remarkably amiable dis
position, aud his domestics lived with him
rather as humble friends than as menial
servants. One day, entering his house at

immediately replied:
"They are ours, my lord, from our country-house."
"Very well." rejoined his lordship.
At that instant "a carriage stopped at the
door, and Lord George turning rouud,
asked what coach it was.
"Ours," said honest John.
"Aud are tho children ours too?"
"Most certaiuly, mv lord," replied John,
with the utmost gravity, and immediately

THE PHILADELPHIA INAUGURATION,
When Washington was reinaugurato4
nt Philadelphia, in 1793, tho first regular
inauguration ball was given in pursuance
of the following invitation, which was pub.
lished in tho newspapers :
"The members of tho Senato and House
of Representatives of the United States ara

George Washington, the President of tho
Uuited States ; the anniversary of tho pre
sent form of governmeut of tho Uuited
States ; and, a parting leave with the niem,
bers of tho present Congress."
This ball was a great success, for thoro
were present, in addition to Mrs. Knox,
the charming Mrs. Theodore Sedgwick, of
Massachusetts, and tho magnificent Miss
Waleoll, of Connecticut, and other Con
gressional belles, those graceful and intelli
gent dames aud demoiselles of Philadelphia,
who had been praised by the gay Marquis
de Chaptelleux, aud complimented by that
witty Parisian visitor, the Duke de Lau

not demonstrative, wrote : "1 havo not

Wheu John Adams was inaugurated a
j President at Philadelphia in 17'J7, a ban
j quet was given instead of a ball, which
j was rather a parting ovation to Washing
J ton thau a compliment to his successor.
INAUGURATION DA1.LS AT WAS11INUTON,
When Jefferson was inaugurated at
Washington, ho endeavored t create po
I Jiticul capital by affecting Democratic sim
j plicity uf manner, nud there was neither a
display at the Capitol or a ball in tbe even
ing. The "levees" were done away with,
and the four-horse eduippago at the White.
House was sold, as the President preferred
to rido about Washington on tho pacinir
' sdle-horso which lie brought from Mou.
i was tiie ueiio oi mo evening, aui tooted
j "stunning" in her Russian Court dress of
j crimson velvet, with a white satin under
skirt aud train, aud a regal display of dia
I mouds. Wheu Mr. Buchanan came for
ward to preseut soma lady friends to tba
Presideut, Gen. TayLor said : "Ah, Mr.
Buehannan you always pick out the prcU
tiest ladies." "The truth is, Mr. Presi
deut," replied Old Buck, cocking his head
ou one side like a parrot, "that your taste
and mine muot agree in that respect."
"Well," replied Geu. Taylor, "1 havo beet
so long ntuimg the Indians and Mexicans,
that 1 hardly know how to behave myself,
surrounded by so many pretty women."
Tho beautiful banner of the Salem Taylor
Club, brought ou there by Capt. Sallord,
was a noticeable feature of the decoration
of this ball, aud the nuisance thereof was
the drippiug from the composition candles
in the eiiand.iUeis, which ruined many a
mack coat, and made many a hello iu a low
necked dis shriek as tho melted tallow
burned hei shoulder. The Fierce and tba'
Buchnnau Inauguration balls wero also
splendid all'airs, but controlled by tho
leatlers of southern society.
Lincoln's iuuuguratiou was a rather so .
letnu affair, but Mr. Seward had taken per
sonal paius to have a demonstration of
Union sentiment, nnd ho was especially
anxious that tho ball should be tf success.
Mrs.Lincolu, who was handsomely dressed,
came iuto tliu hall-room leaning ou the arm
of Senator Douglas, aud follovjvij ty Vice
Presideut und Mrs. Hamlin. Mrs. Samuel
A. Way, of Boslou, was one of tho most '
i-otke,aVlo ladies, wearing black velvet,.'
with a costly set of diamonds, whilo her
sistvr, Mrs. Cutting, wore black velvet and
pearls. The South was unrepresented, and '
the aiiorf uzul of that district remained '
away, waiting for the day soon to arrive'
as they thoughtwhen Presideut UavU .
should co.no to tho White-House.
The ball on tho second inauguration of
Mr. Lincoln was giyen in the halls of tba
PaVeut-Oitlee, just completed but nut oc-'
cupicd. Mr-Sumner escorted Mrs. Llo-'
join iuto Ilia ball-room, which was crowd
jed by a gay aud fashionable throng.
