TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have iujurrj
themselves by improper Indulgence aud solitary
habits, which rniu both body aud inlud. unfitting
them for cither business, study, society or mar

lea rued from ,tvll companion,, oral school, the
clleets of which are nightly tell, even when

What a pity that u young innn.tbc hope of his
country, the darling af his parents, should be
enntchci from nil prospects unit enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of daviatlug from the
path of nature aud iodutgiug In a certain secret
habit. Such peri-ons mi st, before coutetuplatlug
MARRIAGE,
refbet that a sound mind uud body are tho most
ueTjcssarv rcriultltcs to promote counubial hnppl-
i ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through
I life becomes a weary pllgrlmuge; the prospect
I hourly darkens to the view ; the uilud becomes
' ahado'wed with dcpalr and tilled with themeliin
' i holy rcflecliou, that the happiness of another
i becomes blighted with ourown.
I Arf'i:R'4'AIN DULASE.
j When the misguided and imprudent votary of
; plcasuie Hilda that he has Imbibed the seeds of
1 this painful disease, it too often happen, that an
I Ill-timed sense .of Jiiiauie, or draud of discovery,
' dotcis him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, cuu alone befriend
j him, delayiug till the coustit ut iouul symptoms of
I this horrid disease make their uppcurunce, such
a ulei rate4 sore throat, diseased nose, iioctural
pains lu the head and limbs, dluiues, of slgln,
deu f nets, nodes ou the shin bouu aud ui.us,
blotchc, ou the hoad, luce and .extremities, pro.
greasing with .frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bouee of the uoicfuil
ill, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a eriosl to hi dreadful suffer lug, by aendiug
hiui.t " thai 'Cndhvovered Country from wheucu
.no travcljor returns."
It i a, melancholy fact that tkous&uds DIE
victims to thl terriul disease, through fulling
luto the hand of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Pol
sou, Mercury,. Ac,., destroy the couslllutiou, uud
Incapable of curlug, keep the uuhappy sufferer
uionlh after mouth lakiug their noxious or In
jurious compopuds, and luslead of betug restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor aud Happiness, iu des-
air leave him with ruined Health ,ti lj;h over

Toauclt, therefore. Dr. Johnston pledge, him

luut of it. Shu had felt this proposal com
ing for a month, but the scene she had an
ticipated was not at all like this. She had
inluudud to refuse him, but it was to be
done gracefully. She was to romain firm,
notwithstanding his most eager eulreaties.
Slio was lq iayo tol.J )iin that though re
specting hi inauly worth aud upright cha
reclcr, she could uever be to him more
than an appreciative and earnest friend.
She had intended to sljed a Cuw tears, per
haps, as he knelt writhing in an agony of
supplication at her feet. But iustead, ho
had asked her the simple question, without
any rhetorical embellishments, and on be
ing answered, had plungod at once into his
newspaper, ns though he had merely asked
the time of day. Sb.o .could have cried with
vcxatiou. '
"You will never have a better , chance,"
he continued, after a pause, as he deliber
ately turned over the sheet to find tho la
lent telegraphic reports.
"A better chance for what ?" she asked,
shortly.
'A better chance to marry a young, good
looking man. whose gallautry to the sex is
only exceeded by tiis -bravery in their de
feline.' Fred was quoting from his newspaper,
but Miss Newton did not know it.
'And whose egotism is only exceeded hy
his impudence,' retorted the lady sarcasti
cally. 'ik'fore long,' continued Ftcd, 'you'll be
out uf the market. Your chances, are get
ting slimmer every day.'
'Sir I'
'It won't be a great while before you are
ineligible. You s ill grow old and wrin
kled and '
'Such rudens8s to a lady, sir, is mon
strous, ' exclaimed Miss Newtou, rising
hastily, and Hushing to the temples.
I'll givo you a liual opportunity, Miss

'Not if you were the King of England,'
interrupted Miss Newton, throwing dowu
her work. 1 aiu uot accustomed to such
insults, sir.'
Aud so sayioz, sho passed into tho house
aud slammed llie door beliiud her.
Sbois never so handsome as when she
is iu a rage,' thought Fred to hiinsclf, after
she had gone, as be slowly folded up his
paper aud replaced it in his pocket. 'I was
a fool to goad her so. I shall never wiu her
in that way. Uut I'll have her,' he ex
claimed, nloud. 'By heaven I'll havo her
cost what it may I'
Very different was the Fred Eckerson of
the present, pacing nervously up anil down
the piazza, from tho Fred Eckersou a few
moments ago, receiving his dismissal fiom
the woman he loved, with such calm aud
imperturbable exterior. For he loved Bec
ky Newton with' all iiLs heart. The real
difficulty in the way, as bo more than half
suseclcd, was not ,9 much with himself as
iu Ins pocket. Hecjcy .ewtQp hail an nihu
perable objection loan empty .wallet. The
daughter of a wealthy Louitana planter,
reared in luxury, nnd the ruoiphCnt .of n
weekly allowance of pin-money sufficient, to
pay Fred's whole bills for a month, she had
no immediate idea of changing her situa
tion for oim of less comfort aud independ
ence. IWsides it had been intimated to her
that a neighboring planter of unusually
aristocratic lineage had looked upon her
with covetous eyes. To be sure, he was
old apd ugly, but he was rich, and. in
her present juiercenary stain of mind, Miss
Becky Newtou did not desire to allow such
a chaucc of becoming a wealthy widow to
slip by uuimproved.
But alas for human nature ! ,If Becky
was really so indilfci'cnt to Fred Ecker
sou, why did she run up Mairj after that
interview, aud take the starch all o.ut of
her nice clean pillow-shams by crying her
self into hysterics on the bed '( It was not
all wrath, uot all vexation, not all pique.
There was somewhere deep down iu Becky
Newton's heart a feeliug very much akiu
to remorse. She was uot sure that she
would uot oue day be jiorry for what she
had done. She had.no doubt she could be
very kwy P3 Fred Eckersou's wife, ftf'.'T
all.
' But then,"shu cried, grnwiug hot with
the recollection, 'he wasjio rude, and soip
suliiug ! I uever could live with such a
man, never!'
When Fred Eckerson nnd walked off
some of his feeliug ou the piazza, ho con
cluded to take a look nt the river. The
Mississippi, which flowed within five hun
dred yriU of the house, was nt Unit time
nearly at the heigbt pf its annual "spriui;
rise." Its turbid waters,. I'lisUing swiftly
towards the sea, had nearly filled iho banks,
and in many plnoc had broken through
the levies and flooded the low-lands for
many Hijlw. A crevasse of this descrip
tion ha beeu made in the farther bank,
nearly opposite the house, and the wiu
dowsoftue Newton in. in si on commanded
a view of a vas,tapd glittering jnland sea,
uot laid dow,;i ou the maps. The main
current of the si team bora upou it colfee
colored bosom an enormous mass of float
ing timber, which was dashed along the
boiling llood, rendering navigation wholly
impossible. The waters were still rising,
and the frequent crashes far aud near told
of the undermiiiiii!! power of the current, as
sections of the sandy bank succumbed aud
disappeared, carrying with lbc,!P the tree.,
w i jci qvm'hupg .tbe ibticnm.
Now it haniienod that, hy a curious co-
coincidence, Miss Newton also resolved to
look at the river. She dried her tears, and
putting gadjer hat, slipped out by the hack
door to avoid Fred, and soon found her
self at the foot pf a huge cottonwood tree
ou the bank below the house. Throwing
herself upon tho grass, aud lulled by the
bubbling of the rapid flood lieucath hor,
she soon fell fast asleep. Had she possess
ed any power of foreseeing the future, it
would have been the last thing she would
have done, for although it was very plea
sant dropping asleep there iu the .shade,
with the soil sunlight liltering through the
leaves over bend,, the awakening was jjf't at
nil toher ui)(l. A terrible crash ipado
chaos of hur dreams ; the grnuud slipped

toppled nud full ; aud Mis Becky Newtou

'Where am I ?' nsked Becky, shivering

Miss lieckv. f" fact, you nud I 'and the
tree all en me together, to say nothipg of a

I fear, is lost forever.'
Becky was silent. Shu was thinking,
not of the ai cident or their jierilous posi
tion, but ot her appearance when she was
lying asleep on the grass.
'How long, were you thc.ru before this
happened 1" she asked.
'As long ns you wore. I was up in tho
tree when you camq.'
You Ijad a right 0 bo up there,' she
said coloring 'a spy upon my movements.'

'Indeed, I shall do no such thing.'

threatening every iuslant to turn com- j
pletely over nud tip them oft. At last fjLo 1

'J. think, now that I am started, I shall

'Yes and the cbauco of a free passage
