DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, tSradnnted from one of the most eminent
Colleges in tire United rUutcs, nnd the greater
part of whose Ife has been spent lu the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has etlccted some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in tho head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed nt sudden sounds,
bushi'tilncsB, with frequent blushing, intended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
imuiediiitelv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. 3. addresses all those who have Injurrd
themselves by improper Indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body nnd mind, untitling
them for cither business, study, society or uiar
riatrr. Tiipsr arc tome of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of yonth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pulns In the
Buck and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Oyspcpsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derungemeut of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, fcymploins of Con
sumption, Ar.
MusTiu.TThe fearful effects on the mind
nre much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Mens, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, Ac, urs some of the
evils produced.
TuorsAMiM of persons of all aires can now
Judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pule, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have injured themselves by n cert Hin prac
tice luilulgcd iu when alone, a habit frequently
leurned from evil companions, or at bebsol, the
ell'ccts of which arc nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage Impos
sible, und destroys both mind and body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity t hat a yonng man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments nt
life, by the consequence of dviatlug from the
puth of nature and indulging in a curtain secret
habit. Such persons mi'st, beforuconteiupiatlug
MARRIAGE,
reflect thnt a sound mind nnd body nre the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes u weary pilgrimage; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly reflect ion, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with ourown.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided nnd imprudent votary of
pleasure tlnds that lie bus Imbibed tho seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
Ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education nnd respectability, can alone befriend
htm, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ot
this .horrid disease make their appearance, such
ns ulcerated sore throat, diseased uosc, noctiirul
pains in tbe head and limbs, dimness of eight,
deafness, nodes on thu shin bones and anus,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or thu bones of tbe nose fall
in, and tbe victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful sutleriug, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country front whence
no traveller returus."
It Is a melancholy fact that thousituds DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
Into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, w ho, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, Ac, destroy tho constitution, and
Incapable of curing, keep the unhappy suH'erer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruiticd Health to sigh over
his galling disappointment.
To such, thcrel'oro, Dr. Joiinstom pledges him
self to preserve tbe most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his exteuslve practice und observations lu
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first iu
this country, vin England, Franco, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to oiler thu most cer
tain, speedy und elfertunl remedy lu the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

grown up to be a man, find who missed tho
dear delighted drudgery of tho days when
tho house was ringing with his tnekct, aud
her heart and her hands were full of

The space between infancy aud young lady

ISot many weeks ago we were sitting in
a village parlor, when the servant catne in
bringing the cards of two young ladies. It
was only a year before that we had known
them as little girls, aged respectively eight
and nine : and at that not very remote pe
riod we had been quite in the habit of call
ing them both upon our lap. They bad
come to make a fashionable call ufKin a
young lady, aged ten. whose home was our
resting place. The entrance of the visitors
in tho parlor was highly impressive. They 1
were ilresseti in a maimer which -delies de
scription enormous paniers 'Supported
stunning sashes, dainty kid boots encased
their ankles, und in tin ir kid-gloved hands
they carried shell card-cuttfS. The young
lady of llin house, who was not expecting
stylish cullers, aifd who was dressed for this
al'iernoiin in a plain runs. in frock, was con
siderably uverwmdnird hy their appear
ance, hut she villi their best to ciKciluin
them politely. The conversation ol the vi
sitors, in which, for very astonishment, I
Ventured to take hut little part, was itselfn
study. "Don't you think." and "would
you believe," were the notes of admiration
invariably sounded before the simple state
ments. Jtx objects were described as
"nice,'' lour as "perfectly lovely, lovely,"
and live ns "horrid." There was some
times a painful lull iu the conversation,
which w-as generally terminated by the
"running ou" of one of them about some
trivial matter, iu a valuable manner, und
with a very loud voice a trick of making
talk which she had doubtless learned at
homo. After fifteen minutes of edifying
conversation, the callers arose, declaring
that they should never finish the calls they
must make that afternoon if they tarried
any longer, took their leave with true con
ventional "gush," tlirting their silks
through tbe ball-door, mounted their car
riage, and bade their coachman drive on.

uge, immersed in the conventionalities of
artificial lile, and to reflect what must be
the results in their characters before they
were grown, was altogether depressing.
They ought to have come in their calico
frocks, and spent the afternoon romping
under the apple trees iu the back yard. To
send them forth on this errand of vanity
was a rttinementof cruelty which no Chris
tian mother who knew how much a soul is
worth, could ever have been guilty.
We beg our re'idofs not to imagiue that
this is an exceplioual circumstance. The
tike is taking place elaoAiicro. Tho c. n-sptrat-y

minds and poison the hearts of out- little
girls, is wide-spread nnd formidable. We
happen to know that the sketches in "The
Did Fashioned (-id," of little girl lilu in the
stylish circles of Boston, aru simply photo
graphs. And thu half has uot been told.
Of course there are many mothers who
have too much sense to permit their chil
dren to be made the fools of fashion, but
even thesu find it hard work sometimes to
resist the frivolous inllueuoes which sur
round them.
The remedy for this evil must come from
literalute, from Ihe pulpit, and from theic
solule example of intelligent parents. Miss
Alcolt has doijo noble service already iu
picturing this folly, aud displaying a more
wholesome idea. JtCvury preacher, nnd ev
ery leader of public opiniou should raise
his voice to denoutico this conspiracy
against girlhood. And above ull, every
mother whose brains are not already ad
dled by the vanities of society, should set
I her liieo ns a tl it it, against the whole system
of snares by which our llttle'gu Is are drawn
into the deceitful and dangerous paths of
fashionable lile. Errhawje.

Mrs. Washinnton, upou whom fell the
honor lirst, occupied the envied place for
cinht years, and her history i probably
better known than any of her descendants.
LioLrraiihei-H mid historians, stimulated
with a desire to secure her memory from
the dust of years, have been indei'atigablo
in their labors, nnd she is perhaps more
highly venerated thau any of iho women
who have succeeded her.
To Mrs. Adams properly belongs the
highest place of honor iu the American
heart, because her position was more dilll
cult, her duties more arduous, and because
she was stronger mentally nnd more tbor
ouglily disciplined than auy Who have sue
ceeded her. Shu became the occupant of a
place held to be most sacred because of its
newness, and the exalted character ot uolli
aracter ot uotn
lo succeed the
Washington and his wife
former was a ditlicull task for her husband
to perform ; to occupy Mrs. Washington's
place was au impossibility. Uut Mrs.
Adams was gifted with great strength aud
eourago, with rare powers of mind and
heart, and was the best type of American
woman of that class whose life-history has
been handed down to Us.
Mrs. Jell'ersou had been dead nine teen
years before her husband became Presi
dent of thu United Slaletr, but for the occa
sional visits of his two uiartied daughters,
aud the frequent presence of Mrs. Madi
son, at the White House, during tho eight
years of Thomas Jetfersou's stay, would
have been entirely without A social history.
James Madison's wife was the most pop
ular woman of her day, and bad it not been
for tbe unlortuuate war of 1SI J, and the
disturbed condition of the country both be
fore and afier this event, her uduiiuistra
lion as lady of the White House would
have beCu the most biilllant of any record
ed id the auuals of tho social history ot the
country. .
Mrs. Moil roe was A timid, delicate wo
man, Unfitted by nature and habit for the
f laco the helJ, and at tbe expiration of
her husband's term of office gladly tetfrcd
with him to their Virginia homo, where in
lWtO, sho died.
Mrs. John (julncy Adams wns a Mary
land woman, who had been educated fa
England, nnd who filled her fcmi-oQicial
station with dignity and honor.
Mrs. Jackson died before her hnbbaua
succeeded to the Presidency.
Mrs. Van Huron had been dead 'BeVoti
leen years when her husband was elt!cled
Chiei Magistrate, and her dattghter-Tn-law,
a lady of great refinement, was mist'.'css of
the While House during tbe term.
Mrs. Harrison was preparing Ho lenvo
her western homo when tho news of her
husband's death reached her.
Mr. Tyler, who filled out the unexpired
term, lost his wife during the slay at tho
wl,it 11 V"80' "-"xl hl-ently inarried
Mls (.(trdncr, of New 01k. eight mouths
before tho close of his administration.
Mrs. James K. Polk, of Tennesse, was
the second .Southern lady, who, as tho wife
of the President, lived in the Executive
mansion during the full Icrni.
Mrs. Taylor heartily disliked tho formal
ity of Washington society, and retired to
her Louisiana home immediately after her
liusiiauei"S death.
Mr. f'illmoto who served out ficnrral
Taylor's term, had a noble wife, and
she tnd her daughter are remembered
as two of tbe most cultivated, refined and
attractive ladies ever iu thu While House.
Mrs. Pierce was always an invalid, and
nfter the death of her only child, a promis
ing boy, her health gave way entirely, and
her positiou ns hostess was a moat uiidcsir
ublc mm to her.
Miss Harriet Lane mndo her uncle's ad
ministration famous for its social all ruc
tion, hhe was one of the most beautiful of
women, us well ns one of tho truest and
kindest of nieces, aud Mr. lluehanan was
peculiarly fortunate in his social relations,
though he lived and died a bachelor.
Mrs. Lincoln's career was checkered
from the lirst, aud the awful tragedy that
closed her life at tho White House, secured
tor her the sympathy of the people.
Mrs. Patterson was the mistress of the
While House, during Piesident Johnson's
administration, her mother being a cou
linned invalid. The family greatly en
deared themselves to the people by their
simplicity aud refined, Unassuming man
ners. Mrs. f! rant, the present occupant of the
White House, leads a quiet, retired life
seems inclined to avoid all publicity, and
spends most of her lime in the society of
her children and intimate relation. Lau

JeIi Hillings.--The Poodle.
The poodle iz a small dog, with soro
eyes, and bid nmungst a good deal of pro
tuiskuss hair.
They arc sumtimes whilo for color, and
their hair iz tangled all over them, liko tho
hair ov a young turkey.
They are kept az pets, and like all other
pets, tiro nz etubborn az setting a hen.
A poodle iz a woman's pet, and that
makes them kind ov sakred. whatever a
i woman luvs she worships.

this earth more utterly worthless than a

for if thare wasn't tliarc iz some people
who wouldn't hav enny objekt iu living
uud hav nothing tew luv.
Thare iz nothing 111 this world made in
vain, and poodles are good for Ileus.
Pleas are also good for poodles, for they
keep their minds employed in .scratching,
nnd almost every body else's too about
the house.
I never knu a man tew keep a poodle.
Man's nalur iz too koarse for poodles. A
poodle would soon fade and die if a 1111m

Governor llnrtranft is showing a com
mendable zeal in vetoing many bills pass

seeking special charters in matters where
general laws govern, and ought never to

to general laws, vetoing everything of a
private or special nature, would do the
State a service.

Swkkt Potato Clltuke. A. J. (i recti
of Tennesson, says : Having had twelve
years' experience, I will give my plan of
I transplanting potato slips. Some persons
j wait for seasons to set slips. This is unne-
cesary. 1 cultivated last year ten or
twelve acres in swire.t polfttoes, and I Set
them without waiting for- a season. My
plan is to have my land Well prepared and
free from clods; the beds freshly thrown,
up, about three feet apart. 1 Would hero
speak of the great benefit of thu potato
ridger, which every man can have at little
cost by taking the common shovel or bull
tougue plow aud put on wooden wingS,
Have them about three feet apart at the
points. This ridger is capable of throwing
up from four to live acres per day with ouu
horse, after being bedded with the plow,
which is moro than equal to teu or twelvo
hands with hoes. .
My plan for Setting slips fa this ': Having
got both plants and ground ready, no mat
ter how dry the weather is, 1 proceed t
plant by hauling to the lield a barrel of wa
ter, which is sullicient to set ten thousand
plants. Take a bucket aud till with water
and mix iu dirt until tho whole is of that
consistency best to stick to the roots of tho
slips. Take twenty or thirty blips in your
band nt a time, straighten and even them.

and set them well in the Ground lo the bot
tom leaf. The dirt Should be well pressed
to the roots. .
I recommend farmers and g'ardettcVft t
try this plan, as I deem it greatly to their
interest. 1 have pursued this plan for sev
eral years and I'nul it successful, having
but few to replant. My yield in generally
from one hundred to three hundred busheU
per acre, according to variety of the potato.
WATr.R rMt Cows. During last sutn
j mer, in the hot days of July and August,
: the animals resorted to '.he tank to drink.
' and, after slaking their ihlrst, they woultl
j wade into the water, and remain some
I times an hour or two with theit' !eg halt"
1 immersed. This habit was found invaria
bly diminish thu flow of milk nt night, and,
in order to learn the extent of the di
minution, careful observations were made.
It was ascertained that slandtng in Use wa
ter an hour diminished the rtow to tho
amount of eight or ten quarts In a herd of
thirteen cows. The loss was So great that
w henever they resorted to the water they
were driven away to the pasture nt oik".
We have learned that from simply turning
tbe herd into tho yard upon a cold day iu
winter, and allowing them fifteen minutes,
the flow of milk was diminished lo a seri
ous extent, and consequently the animals
nre not now allowed to leave tho warm
stable during the entire wiuter, except fot
a brief period upon warm suuny days. Wa
ter is brought directly from a well "iuto tho
barn, nnd the drinking vessels are arrang
ed so that the animals have to move but a
step or two to supply their wants. Tlietia-
j lure of the water supply and convenience
of access a re most important points in lh
management of milk cows. A d railgtit of

' of feeling for the dwarf pear lives, iu tipjio
of all that is said against them, for a thirty
' years' experience convinces me that they
i lire, with very few exceptions, fully equal

! are like improved breeds of cows or hr'rses;
: they requite extra care lo produce extra
i results; therefore, thu negligent cultivator
I had Ix-tter let them alone. 1 suppose this
, is a very good reason for recommending

properly take care of either ; and under no-
; gleet the latter probably stands a little tho
