Thousands of persons of all acs can now judge what is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pals, nervous and emaciated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms of cooaiap Iron. YOUNG MEN Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac tice Indulged lu when alone, a habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at bcheol, tbo effects of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, aud If not cured, renders marriage Impos sible, aud destroys both mind aud body, should apply immediately. What a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the dulling of his parents, should be snatchea from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature aud indulging in a certain secret habit. Such persons mi'st, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect Hint a sound mind aud bedy are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the Jourucy through life becomes a weary pilgrimage ( the prospect hourly darkons to the view 5 the mlud cecoiucs shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly reaectiou, that the happiness of another becomes blighted with ourowu. a CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided aud imprudent votary of pleasure finds that ha has Imbibed the Mods of this painful disease, It too often happens that uu ill-timed seuse of shuuie, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from educatiou and respectability, can ulone befriend him, deluyiug till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturul pains iu the bead and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes ou the sliiu bones aud arm, blotches ou the head, face aud extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till ut lust the palate of the mouth or the bouus of the uosefall in, mid tho victim of this awful discuse becomes a horrid object of couunUerutiou, till deuth puts a period to his dreadful sull'ering, by sending him to " that Undiscovered Country from whuuue uo traveller returns." It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through falling into the hands of Iguoraul or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, etc., destroy the constitution, and incapable of curing, keep the uuhappy sufferer taonth after month taking their noxious or In jurious compounds, aud luateud of buiug restored to a renewal of Life Vigor aud llappiuess, in des pair leave him with rulued Health to sigh over ms galling disappolntmeut.

Many years ago I bpicncl to bo one of the ruloi-ui'S in a case that excited unusual interest lu our courts, from llie singular na ture of the claim, aud the strnngu story which it diHulnaoiL 'The Iflainlifl' was cap tain of a ahip which trailed principally vridh Urn Weft Imlii'K, had ,iuarrU'd qutio arly, with every prospect of happiness. His wile was said to have been extremely beau tilul, and no less lovely in her character. ' After Ii vim; with her in the must unin terrupted liiiruioiiy for livo -yenus. during which litnetwo daughters were added to the family, he suddenly resolved to r.'Stitne his occupation, which he had relinquished on "his inurriiige, and when his- younsst cliilil was hut three weeks old sailed once more for the Vit Indies. Ills wife, who was devotedly attached to him, sorrowed deeply at his nlxe nee, ami louml her only comfort in the society of he'r children and the hope of I. is return. Dut month after nionlh passed away and he came not, nor did any letters, those irisullicielit but wel come sulistitutes, arrive to cheer her soli tude. Months lengthened into years, yet no tidings were received from tho absent husband ; and, after hoping against hope, tho unhappy wile was compelled lobelievo that, ho had I'uuuU grave UstioatU the wol tei'ing ocean. .. . Wtjr Borrow Xvas fo'ep and heartfelt, "but the evils of poverty were now added to her RTHictions, aud the widow found herself ob liged to resort to some employment in or-1 der to support her children. Her needle was tho only resource, and for ten years she lahored early anil late for the misera hie pittance which is ever Rrudin;ly be stowed tin tin humhle seamstress. A merchant In New York In moderate but prosperous circumstances, accidentally became, acquainted with her, aud, pleased with her gun lie mauners no less thau her extreme beauty, he eudnivored to improve their acquaintance into friendship. After some months, he ollered his hand, and was accepted. As the wife of a suc cessful merchant she soon found herself iu the enjoyment of comfort and luxuries such ns hlie hud never before possessed. Her children . I cc 11110 his childtcu, and receiwd from him every advantage, which wealth and alVuclion could procure. Fifteen years passed away ; tho daugh ters were married, aud by their step-father were furnished with every comlort requi site to their new avocation as housekeep ers, llut they had hardly quitted his roof when their mother was taken ill. She died after a few days, and from that time until the period of which I speak, the widower had resided with tho younger sister. Now comes tho strange paitof the story. After an absence of over thirty years, dnr i';;; which time uo tidings had arrived trom him, the first husband relurued as sudden ly as (ie had departed. He had changed his ship adopted ano ther name, and spent, tho whole uf that long period on tho ocean, with only tran sient visits on shore, while takiug in or discharging cargoes, having been careful never to come nearer home than New Or leans. Why he had acted in this unpar donable manner towards his family uo one could tell, aud he obstinately refused au ex planation. There were some stmngo runtor of slave-trading and piracy atloat, but they were whispers of conjecture rather than truth. Whatever may have been ids mo tives for his conduct, he was certainly any thing but indillereut to his family couccrus when he returned. He raved like a minl miiu when informed of his wife's second marriaga and subsequent death, vowing veugeaticti upon his successor, and terrify ing his daughters by the most awful threats in case they refused to acknowledge his claims. He had relumed wealthy, und oue of the mean reptiles ot tho law, who are al ways to he found crawling about the halls ot justice, udviud bun to bring a suit against the second husband, assuring him tliat he cotiid recover heavy damages. The absuidity of iustitutiug a ciaiiii for a wile whom death had iciuased from the jurisdic tion of earthly laws, was so uiaiiilest, that it was al length agreed by al! parties to leave the mailer to uu adjudged by live ref erees. U was upon a bright ami beautiful after noon in spiing. when wu met Jo heir ,,bjs singular vusfci J Klit itulijiiU Istronntcd through the'tUmiy wStictowg of tW Court room, and shed a hullo around the long, gray locks and brtmd forehead of the de leudant while tliy pkiinlttt's baish features were throwrr'iuto" still bolder relief by the same beam whtcii softened the placid coun tenance 01 Jm adversary.

A slight flush passed over her proud and beautiful face ns she replied : t "Sly lirst recollections are of small, ill furnished apartment, which, my sister aud myself shared with my mother, hho used t carry outevery Saturday evening thowork which had occupied her during tho week, and bring back employtncut for tho follow ing one. .Saviug this wearisome visit to her employers, aud her regular utteudanco at Church, she ucver left the house, bhe often spoke of my lather, and of his anti cipated return, but at length she ceased to mention him, though 1 observed she used to weep more frequently thau ever. I then thought she wept becauso we were poon, lor it sometimes happened that our sup port was only a bit of dry bread : and she was accustomed to sow by thu light of the chips which she kiudled to warm her fam ishing children, because she could not pur chase a candle without depriving us of our morning meal. Such was our , poverty when our mother coulractcdasecotid mar riage, and the change to us was like a sud den entrance to l'aradise. Wo fouud a home und a father." She paused. "Would you turu my own child against me '"' cried tho piaiutill', as he itMmticnt ly waved his hand for her to bo sileul. . The eyes of the wituess Hashed tire as bhe spoko. : "You are not my father!" exclaimed she vehemently. "What call you my ra ther yuu, who so basely left your with to toil, and your childrcu to beggary V Nev er! Never 1 Behold there my father 1" pointing to the agitated defendant. "There is tho mau who watched over my infancy who was tho sharer of my childish sports, and thu guardian' of my inexperi enced youth. There is the man who claims my alleetion and shares my homo ; there is my jutUer. As for yonder recre ant wretch, I kuow hiui not. Tho best years of his life have been spent iu lawless freedom lrom social ties ; let him seek else where for companions suitable to his decre pitude, nor darn iusult the ashes of my mother by claiming the duties of kindred from her deserted children.". She drew her veil closely around her ns she liuibhed speaking, and moved as if about to withdraw. "Gentlemen," said Burr. "I bavo no more to say. The words of the law are expressed iu the book beforo you ; tho words of truth you have heard from wo man's pure lips ; it is for you to decide ac cording to tim requisitions of nature and the decrees of justice." I need not sav that our decision was in favor of thu defendant, and tho plaintiff went, ioiui followed by the contempt of ev ery honorable person who was present nt the trial. Miscellaneous. . What Shall.Wc Do With Our Nous i auit Daughter? It must be evident to nny observer that the difficulty Ibr middle-class famillics to provitle their childrcu with thu means of earning a livelihood iu increasing. Iu a country like tins, provided with such bouiullt-s resources, tins might at lirst seem incredible, and. in fact, thero is no necessi ty that it should he so. The fault lies not with the country, but with thu people. All tho young men want to be capitalists, speculators, merchants, lawyers, or to fol low sotiio oilier genleel occupation requir ing liltlo manual labor. The dream of out young girls is to bo simply ladies, contract tich marriages, and have foreign servants to wail on ihom. The inevitable result is approaching. (Jenteel occupations have become an American specularity, they nre the worst paitl auu most uncertain of nil kinds of labor, because the market Is over stocked. Unu bookeeptr has a salary of .j live thousand dollars a year, straight way a nuuorott incipient ones tieiutio themselves with the idea thev can reach such n nosi- I tion. Even iu Europe there is too much j of This gentility, but is iu a great measure counteracted by millions ol woikingmeu. There, a collier makes more than a bunker's clerk, just as a common laboring man will make us much as an ordinary clerfc'Mbls city ; more, iu fact, if we take the nllbi--eucu uf stations and exigencies of dress iuto consideration. To look lor an ordina ry clerk's place is really n desperate under taking, uud the young stranger who comes to tho city will tind itu North L'ole expe dition iu sea tell of an uncertainty. ' l'arents too often delude themselves with the belief that their childrcu have extraordinary ca pacities, and are bound to succeed in life "anyhow." A great deal of stuff has been written on thu advantage of education, euergy, etc., as if thu education which is not practical, und the energy which is not well directed, ever achieved anything. Every day wo see foreigners, ignorant eveu of our language, commence at the bot tom of the settle aud work upwards, while genleel men are just where they were years ago. If young men would do'ns bo many Germans do, devoto their time to tome manufacturing speciality, aud obtain a practical und scientific kuow ledge of it, they would tlud a large field before them iu a country like, this, where special Ulents in so many branches are wanting. Fa re ut may nnd it difficult to provide their soot wilh even an ordinary education, but uiakiug "book-keepers,1 or shopmen, or salosiueu. of them Is about the worst thing they cau do.

Hints on- SnorriNo. It is poor econo myor. rather, no economy nt all to pur chase isiftiMor fabrics because they are cheap. Persons in limited circumstances often commit this error. If a calico at ten cents n yard lnoks about as well as one at twelve or liftevn cents, the prudent pur chaser will always think it economy to pur chase the low goods. As it is low prices, she inny indulge in n yard or two more for ruffles or bins folds, tlattcring herself that cheap ornamentation is nn equivolent for fine quality. This mistake may be seen permeating the entire wardrobe of many 8etisiblu people. The result is Rimply thjs : thev never have anything of really good quality, are always ohabby and always buying. None hut rich people can afford to buy poor gocds. This rule applies a!1 sort of goods. urns liM. cloths, crtqiers attd table linen. We grudge the time we see women speud in making up mtishns of low grades for under clothing. There are so many slitches iu a shirt I And whffn it lasts one year instead of two, there is just twice us much work done us need be. Better make three shirts of lino quality than six of line quality mus lin than six tif a lower grade of muslin. Just so in flannels. A fifty cent all wool Shaker llamiol will wear two or three limes ns long as flimsy col ton and stuff n few pennies cheajier. Especially in a family of children, fabrics should bo chosen for service that when made up they may des cend from mie cbild to another, thus saving the. mother time to stitch iuto her brain a little embroidery of thought nnd culturo. A few rules with regard to shopping itself may be in place. First have a list of ni tidi s to be made out in black nnd white. By this means you will bo saved from sudden temptation to buy wlrat is not really nccsssnrv. and lorge.c noumig mat you require. Second : Deal only with merchants in whoso busi ness integrity you can con lido. Third: in the long run one always does belter to buy u t one and the same place than run about for the purpose of hunting up bar gains. A regular customer can often get favors th.-oi.'u to un occasional purchaser. Fourth : Never buy what you don't want because it is cheap. Ax old Negro named Fetu wns much troubled about his sins Perceiving hint one day with a vury downcast look, "his mas ter asked him the cause. "Oh ! massa, I'm such a great sinner !" "But, Pete," said his master, "you are foolish to take it so much to heart. You never see un troubled about my sin." "I know de rea son, tnuM-a," said Pete ;-" when you go out duck-shooting, and kill one duck and wound another, don't you run after tho wounded duck?" "Yes Pete;" and the muster wondered what was coming next.

Ten thousand beings set forth together on their journey. After ten years one-third at least have disappeared. At llie middle point of the common measure of lifu but half are still on the road.

It is well-known that clergymen, whou iu each other's com pany, enjoy a liltlo harmless pleasantry witli each other us much as any other class of meu.

"Stop, stop. Robert!" the other replied ; "I think a pliysici-.il' would account for it ou a much safer principle that disease at tacks tho weakest pail."

"PlDN'T LlKB TO ANWEH." Waltrf Savago Laador used to relate nn nnecdoto of an English judge before whom, being on the circuit, two old men were brought as witnesses, and, nccordinn to custom, ha began to chat with them, among other things about 'their age, for the purpose of giving a moral lesson to the ytMing barris ters.
