DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness of tho Back or Limbs, Strictures,
Affection of Kidneys and Blnddcr, Involun

Throat, Nose or Skin, A flections of LI ver, Lungs,
Stomach or Bowel these terrible Disorder
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practice more fatal to their
victim than the song of Syren to the Mariner
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, fcc, Impos
sible. ' lOUNG MEN
especially, who have become the victim of Soli
tary Vice, thnt dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweep to au untimely grave
thousands of youmr men of the most exalted
talent and brilliant Intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senate with the
thunder of eloquence or waked to ecstacy the
living lyre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Piocreatlve Power Impotency), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He who plaecs himself under the euro of Dr. J.
may religiously confide In his honor as a gentle
ninn, and conQdcutly rely unon Ills skill as 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 victim of improper indulgences.
Young persons arc too apt to commit excesses
from not beiugawnro of the dreadful conseqcuccs
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation Is lost sooner by those fulling Into
Improper habits than by the prudent 1 Besides
being deprived the plensurcsof healthy otTxprinir,
the most serious and destructive symptoms to both
body and mind arise. Tbe system becomes de
ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Los of Procreatlve Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion, Conhlitutional Debility, a Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined In health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trifling month after month,
Inking poisonous and injurious compounds,
should npply immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Burgeons, Lon
don, Grnduntcd from one of the most eminent
Colleges In the United States, and the greater
part of whose ifo has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has etlectcd some of tbe most astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in tbe bead and cars wheu asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden soands,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes w ith derangement of mind, were cured
Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injitrrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ill in both body and mind, untitling
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage. Tiif.se are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Buck and Limbs, Pains lu the
Buck ami Head, Dlmneva of Sight, Los of Mus
cular Power, Pulpltution of the Heart, Dyspcpsy,
Nervous Irritability, Dcrungemeut of Diirentivc
Ktinct Ions, General Debility, Symptom of Cou
Bumption, Ac.
Mentally The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Los of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Sslf-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, fcc, are sume of tho
evils produced.
Thousands of persons of alt ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
und emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, conghand symptoms of consump
tion. VOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac
tice Indulged In when alone, a habit frequently
lenrned from evil companions, or at school, tho
elleets of which are nightly felt, eveu when
asleep, aud If not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both in hid uud body, should
apply Immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, tbe darling ef bis parents, should be
snatched from nil prospects and enjoymeuta of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and Indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such person mi'st before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a tound mind and bdy are the most
uoccstury requisite to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage i the prospect
hourly darkens to lliu view j thu inlud becomes
hndowed with despair aud tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with ourowu.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided end imprudent votary of
pleasure tinds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too olten happens that an
ill-timed svtise of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
educutiou and respectability, cuu aloue befrieud
lilin, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains lu the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
ucufucss, nodes oa tho shin bones and urms,
blotches on the heud, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till nt lu.t the
fialate of the mouth or the bones of the nose full
n, aud the victim of this awful disease become
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to hi dreadful sullering, by sending
bim to " thnt Undiscovered Country from whence
uo traveller returns."
It Is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
Into thn hand of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Pol
son, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution, aud
incapable of curing, keep tbe unhappy sufferer
mouth after month takiug their noxious or In
jurious compouuds, and instead of beiug restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruiued Health to sigh over
his galling disappointment.
Ta such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledge him
self to preserve the most Inviolable becrecv, and
from bis extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Kuroiie, and the tlrst in
this country, vlx : England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, Is enabled to otter the most cer
tain, speedy uud elfectunl remedy lu the world
for all dlseusr of Imprudence.

It was in the fall of the year 18, and I
was slill au old student, with high aspiring
plans iu my head and the dream-god of
future fame iu my heart, Tlio bustle of
the capital disturbed mc, nad iu social
pleasures had no attractions for nu Dur
ing tlio day I frequented, diligently, college-lectures
and hospitals, and at uight
I often sat studying over my books until
daylight. Iu the same way as I had here
tofore beeu absorbed with predilection in
the mysterious history and writings of the
middle ages, 1 wus now enticed by the his
tory of nature nud its phenomena, of which
philosophy and physiology have not yet
found the cause.
The vacatiou hail commenced when I
set out on a trip to my old home, for recrea
tion. Tho village, which is coucealed
among the mountains, is, even yet without
tiuy railway connections, and I concluded
to walk with kuapsack ou my back the
distance from the ucarest railway station
to my home, several miles. It was noon
when I lull the train, aud I only expected
to reach the end of my journey toward
night. The part of the country through
which my way led was very rich in forests.
The leaves already commeuccd to tall ; bin
thu foliage which was left ou the trees dis
played the most beautiful colors in the
golden rays of the autumn suu, nud the nir
was filled with fragrant odors.
With extended chust and uplifted head
I walked ou with elastic step. Xaluro it
self, which 1 had forgotten while studying
natural history, rcfrcshtd me. Toward
eveuiug a strong wind drove the clouds
together with great swiftness. Heavy
nt'.udrops commenced lo full on the leaves,
and then all delight and every radiance was
wiped away from earth, a dark gray sky
hanging over the half naked trees a iicl fum
ing meadows. I was soon dripping wet
nud glad to reach the small city of It,
which 1 only noticed among mist and rain
and quickly growing darkness, wheu I
stood before its ancient walls.
I looked around on the deserted market
place for the hotel Tho Ked Lion, where
1 hud once waited the stagu-coach on my
way to the University. A light was burn
ing iu iho doorway, und while turuing to
ward the siltiug rooiu my eyo fell on a bill
Willi gigantic letters posted ou the wall :
'Jor the first time iu this city, to-morrow
evening, tho grand spectacle 'The Vam
pire.' Admission, &c.'
1 went directly up to my room, changed
my wet clothes for a Sunday suit, tho only
ouo my carpel-bag contained, undsatdowu
uear the lire. When the waiter brought
iu my supper ho laid a theater bill ou the
table iu trout of me.
Taking tho paper in my haud I asked
hitu 'Since wheu have you a theater in
JJ- V"
'We have always, had a theater, but uol
always a theatrical company. Tho present
director, however, isdoingitgood'buKiuess.
The gentlemen of the court never miss a
performance, aud lust Saturday all the olli
ce r from 1) came over to ace Mta
Ijeouitu iu her great part of Louisa Miller
in. The piece which will be given to-inor-row
evening is said to bo expressly written
for hor.
I could not help smiling. 'The Vam
pire' was, without doubt, an old English
mulo drama, which 1 recollected aiuco my
tirst study years at the college. 1 looked
over the bill. Yes ; there were the Euglish
names to which the director had added
short, characteristic explanations.
1 read :
Sir tiiuvillo Lillburue, a nobleman of
very aristocratic family, poor, but i roud
and jealous. Marsden.lhe Vam
pire, a phantom-like fiend, who renews
his life by sucking the blood from other
persons.'
'That is her father,' said the waiter.
'Whoso father 1"
'Miss Leonila's father ; a good old soul,
but somewhat weak iu his legs.'
'1 she a very lovely girl V
'That elas is.' He turned his eyes iu
rapture upward to the ceiling. 'Hut alas,
she won't stay with us much longer. A
geullctuau from the capital will arrive here
to-mono w, and it is said that he haa en
gaged her Cor the Koyal Theater. If
you
'Enough,' I interrupted hlra.
'1 wish you good-night, sir.'
'Good-night.'
It did not stop raining. The water ran
dowu in the gutter near tbe wiudow.
From time to time the storm turned to
ward tbe house ; it gioaued and cracked
outside iu tiki hall, aud the shadows on ray
bed-curtain, moved backward and forward.
I could uot sleep. The theater bill had
giveu my thoughts a peculiar direction.
What it superstition in the history of Vam
pirism V What is (ruth ? Llvreg persons
fancied themselves attacked by the dead,
who sucked their blood, until they were
aruicted with illueas aud died. Tbe news
pncrs announced in the 17th century that
iu Ktrtiia and 1'olantJ vampires h id bceu

seen sucking tho Mood from men nnd beasts
in plain daylight. (Upire or vampire means
in the Slavonic language blood sucker).
Tho most wonderful and adventurous
stories are tDld iu Hungary of a certain
vampire by the name of Michael Caspcrck.
A whole city in (irecco hud become frantic
with fear for vampires. Kvcn in India is
this tradition of tho vampires known, and
thry are called Tisachns.'
Those nnd others similar thoughts came
in my mind. I meditated on tho pi rent
ship of vampirism with zoanthropv, when
men fancy themselves changed into ani
mals and act according to the logic of this
irenzy.
It wns nlrrndy Into when I woke up.
Tho r.iin fell dowu in streams, nnd the
waiter brought uin tho tidings that my
clothes were not dry yet and tho bridgo
near D had been torn nway by tho
boisterous mountain stream. I could not,
in this slate of nlfuirs, do ony better than
lostny in the Ked Lion. At tho dinner
tabln 1 formed acquaintance with "the
gcnllcmau from tho capital,' who catno to
lake nxvnv from thn ironil filirnii nf II
'the pearl of the theater.' He was oua of
tho othcial agents for tho Royal Theater,
who in this dull place found even in mo a
grateful listener to his jokes and theater
and city stories. lie invited me to see the
Iterformnncc with him.
It was already late when we started for
tho theater. Tho stagr was lit up with
tallow candles, the scenery poor and
threadbare j a mouldy air lllled tho whole
building.
Tho performance had already com mencod
when we entered, but what did wecaro for
tho plot We came only to see Miss Ioo
nita. 'That is nn nppiration !' rejoined tho
agent, when she left tho scene. He had
measured her capacities at oneo with the
eyes of a connoisseur, and rubbed his hands
with satisfaction.
'Will you engage her ?'
'At once,' ho replied. 'A quarter of nn
hour after the performance of this stupid
juece sho will he an nctrcsa of tho Iloval
Theater. Wo shall of course ho obliged" to
take the poor old man in the bargaiu.'
The poor old man was leonila's father,
who had just again niado thu most pitiful
exertions to do justice to his part of a mys
terious fiend.
'A ruio,' proceeded the agent, nlluding
to iho old man, 'hut ho loves his daughter
so enthusiastically that he exposes himself
daily to the anger and scorn of the public,
iu order to act on the stage with his child.'
All I recollect from tho whole plot is that
in the last act the 'very lovely girl' was to
be sacraflced to tho Vampire. ' Sho was all
alone on the stage when tho curtain rose.
After a short monologue she stretched out
on a bed, and now a short pause, and her
father, the Vampire, rousi. appear.
Ho appeared, and never until my last
hour shall 1 forget the Impression his ap
pearance made upon me and every one else.
Was it possible to produce such a death
like mask by means of paint and mimic V
llow shall I describe the lead colot or rather
theentiro lack of color, the hideous, deep,
hollow eyea aud the creeping, noiseless
step V I thought myaelf dreaming nud
cast a hasty glance around me, but every
wncro I met tho expressiou of horror.
Children clung to their mothers, who were
not less depressed. Powerful men covered
their faces wiih their hands, and even tho
iron hearted agent shuddered with terror.
Not a breath, uot a sound was heard in the
whole house. Deadly silence reigned ;
nothing could I hear but the hasty beating
of my own heart, while the Vampire stole
10 me resting place oi lite girl. hy 1
was so horror struck when I saw him 'ap
proach her I could not tell, but I felt thai
l could not turn my eyes away from him.
I would have given a fortune had I been
able t cry aloud, hut I could not. I
seemed lo be under tho spell of a sorcerer,
nnd hung with every nerve on the actor
who now bent over tho girl. A moment
later, nnd she ju.nped up with a shrill cry,
staggered toward the footlights, aud fell
down. Xo. that was uo longer acting !
Only a deadly stricken person can cry nnd
fall in this manner, and there, there from
under her head gushing' a dark streak
blood !
Thu spell was broke n ; with one leap I
jumped over the balustrade, and tho agent
lifted the wounded girl up nnd carried her
into her dressing-room, whero we gave her
all possible assistance.
'Where is her father ?' I naked hastily,
while trying to stop the blood which was
running from a ghastly wound in her neck.
'He must not escape."
One of iho actors ran o(T, nud soon came
back with ihu surprising information llmt
her father was lying unconscious iu his
room.
'What do you thiuk of it ' I asked tho
agent.
Jle was not the man,' ho whispcrd to
inc.
'Ho was not dressed yet f r thu lat
act.' v
Shut all the doors ! I cried out.
It was too late. Tho 'other' had al
ready escaped.
For the poor girl it was also "too late.'
The wound had proved fatnl.
A sharp Inquest placed thu innocence of
the unhappy lather above all doubts. Ac
cording to his own declaration lui was in
his room dressing for iho last act, when
suddenly a form Mood before i.im iu the
exact costume tlf iiis part, but with such
a horrible face lhal be fainted for fright.
Thu murderer was uot discovered. They
suspected, however, a colleague nf the old
tutor, who had solicited eiuit:t's haud
befote she weut oil the stngu.and had beeu
refused, bill hu had left (ieruiany long be
fore the murder took place. Telegraph
lines wero not so generally established ut
that timo.
Several Jfears ha.1 .tcl bv iice this
terriblo incident hud taken place. Fata
and diiiappnoiiitmcitl had driven mo to the
city of Vancouver, iu the statu of Oregon.
Vancouver, nt the present dav uolhim;
but a shadow of what it used to be, was
at the time a ftourishins city, for the gold
luiues in Upper Columbia had uot been dis
covered yet. I was gold-digger, doctor,
uowspaper editor iu ono word, advuutur
er, like all the rest. Or.e eveuing I was
t ailed to the sick-bed of a dying man in tho
howl. The waiter did uot think it worth
the while to show me up, but contented
himself by giving me a light aud the num
ber id the room. Vhca I bent over tho
sick man, with the light iu my hand, I ut
tered a cry of horror : tbe countecauce of
the Vampire ttared at me.
'Who Is here V be sUcobeJed ; 'what uo

'I am tho doctor,' said I, collecting my
self at Well as possible.

he gfoaned.

All About Hit Iron Fence,
A Dnnbury man started for Greenwich,
Friday, to see an iron fence for we don't
know, and it really makes no difference. '
Ilo went. He wanted to o olt ou tho 9,50
train ; so ho hurried homo to get ready,
His wife nnd a vicious outside woman
were cleaning house, and it was some liltlo
timo before he could get his society-suit
ready. In thu meantime he opened tiro
on tho largest half of a custardpie, holding
it in his hand, and dancing around yellim
for his things. When she brought his over
coat he set the pio ou n chair to put on tho
cont, but iu his nervousness stepped on tirrii
end of a long-handled whitewnsh-biusli
which wns balanced across a pail, and tho
other end Hew up and discharged about a.
pint of the awful mixture over the sofa,'
wall paper, and his pnntingaud Indignant
wile. Sho made a remark, and he contra-
dieted it. Then he sat down in the chair'
where the pie was, and got up again willi
a howl that would have melted the stoutest
heart. She wauled him to wait while sho
scruped olf thu surplus ; but he wns too
mad to converse in word of more than
oue syllable, nnd started for the depot, and.
boarded car removed I he olfeusivo lunch.
Ho got to Orceuwieh all right, and lookeil.
at the fence. We hope he admired it.
Then hu started for home, but missed tho -train
; und, as the next train whs au ex-
press und didn't stop at Greenwich, ho was
obliged to walk to the drawbridge at Cos
Cob, or stay in Greenwich all night. So
lie walked up there iu the rain ; but didn't
mind it much, ns he had an umbrella, and
the pie was pretty well dried in. When ho
got to Cos Cob he stood up on a fence to
look at the scenery, nud swear, when a
sharp gust of wind look olf his hat and car- .
ried it across a bog lot. Theti ho sUJffpei
dowu on the other side too amazed to ex
press himself, und another gust of wind
cam nlouged and turned thu umbrella in-
side out. A brief conversation here ensued
between himself and the umbrella, nnd
he aguiu started for the hat. When ho
got up to it, he kicked it arotiud several
times, and then jammed it dctvri on his
head, and started oneo more through' the
bogs us the train drew up at the bridge.
It was a terrible struggle, as the bogs wero.
uncertain ; but ho strained, and coughed. 1
nud spit, nnd howled, and swore, and it did
seem as if he would catch it after all.
When he thought ns he stood on that fence
nud watched that train sail across tho
bridge, uo human being can tell.
An hour later he npeared in Stamford,
wet through to thu skin, splashed with'
mud, nud with an expression on his facu
that would have scared a hydrant. Back
ing himself against ho depot, he Blood
there until near mi uight, aud then went -up
on the owl train to Norwalk. falling4 4J -bleep
iu the meantime, and narrowly es
caping being carried by tho depot. Here .
he took the freight for Daubttry, arriving
at home just before daylight. His wtfo
wns abed, but not sleeping. Sho lay there
torn by forebodings and harassed by sus-
pence, rerhaps he was dead, nnd lying
on the cold ground iu the rain. Then sho
thought of his lifeless body, and groaoed ;
nud thought of iho pie, and groaned again.
She knew his knock the moment it sound-
cd, and, rushing down iu the costume ap
propriate t't lltut hour, she threw herself.,
into his hair, and hysterically shouted :
"Oh! j ou old rascal! come iu here l"'
