and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Lire
miserable and marriage Impossible is the penalty

Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful consciences
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power

Improper habits than by the prudent 1 Besides

YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves by a certain prnc-
tico Indulged in when aloue, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, tuo
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and If not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, und destroys both tulud uud body, should
nri'ly immediately.
vt nut a pity that a young roan, t nc uopeot ins
country, the darling ef bis parents, should be
snatched from all prospects uud enjoyments of
lite, by the consequence or deviating trom tue
path of nature aud Indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons mot before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind aud body are the most
uccessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness, ludecd without these, the Journey through
lifo becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; thu luiud becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with tlie melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of uuotUcr
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided uud imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that be has Imbibed the seeds ol
this painful disease, it too often happeus Hint an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
cducutlou and resiiocluuility, can ulone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ot
tbis horrid disease make their uppcuraucc, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shiu bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face aud extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at lust the
ualalc of the mouth or the bones of the nose full
in, aud the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
biin to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It Is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through fulling
Into tlie bauds of Ignorant or unskillful I'HE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, una
lucapabl.8 of curing, keep the uuhappy sufferer
month allsr month taKiug tueir noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of bciug restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, iu des
pair leave bim with ruined Health to sigh over
Lis galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Jounston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, und
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, aud the first in
this country, vis i England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy aud effectual remedy in the world
for nil diseases of imprudence.

Tho accident nt Niagara Tails on tho 4lh
lust , by which a bridal couple, together
with a little boy, brother of tho intended
bride, were carried over tho Falls nud lost,
has excited deep interest, and for hundreds
of miles around Niagara has been '.ho prin
ciple topic of conversation. The papers of
Uulliilo, New York, in Riving particulars
of the alTair, statu that tho young man and
younqr woman were a runaway couple, and
that they found somo difliculty in getting
a Hcctiso, tvliich was finally obtained
through tho assistance of the barkeeper at
Wclland, who, in accordance with the Can
adian requirement went their bail. A cor
respondent of tho New York Herald, writ
ing from Niagara, gives tho following ac
count :
THE TOWN OK CTIUU'EWA.
If you follow the river up from Cliftou,
on the Canada, shore, for a distanco of
threo miles, walking sometimes ankle deep
iu water, sometimes lcapiug from hillock
to hillock over u spongy morass, and final
ly climbing up a long, curved ascent, deep
ly shaded, to the opcu, hot, dusty road ac
ross the country, you will ultimately arrive
at Chippewa. A poor struggling "hamlet,
consisting of a few deserted brick buildings
on thrco sides of a little open place ; a fac
tory or mill, the machinery of which stop
ped long ago, and which presents a broken
roof ana unglazed window frames to the
elements, aud, jicrhups, two dozen detach
ed wooden structures of different sixes, nnd
in various stages of decay. In tact, the
usual Canadian town, where the buildings
when tho slow process of construction
ceases, begin a rapid dilapidation ; where
moss grows ou thu roof aud doorstep of the
house completed yesterday ; where there is
no nerve or verve in anything ; where trans
planted energy dies, und where everything
seems slillboru.
"THE ltOYAL BRITISH AMERICAN1
Hotel is one of those sad-looking structures,
long aud low and dirty, whito iujcolor, aud
broken down about the eaves, with a sort
of apologetic angle, and a general expres

tel that on thu evening of Thursday lust a

and with nn open, boyishjfaee, carrying a
vali-c. Uy his side was a very pretty young
girl of apparently eighteen, fashionably
dressed aud attended by a Utile fellow of
ten or a dozen years who brought up the
rear.
THE COMEDY OF LOVE.
The trio drew near tho door and saluted
the laudlord smilingly. The latter bowed
politely, and stepping back threw open the
door of tine little public parlor on the left
of the hull as you euter. The young gen
tleman wanted rooms for himscll, fur the
young lady aud the little fellow, the lady's
brother, and they all wanted a nice supper.
Then he asked if there was a jeweler in the
place, aud was directed to a little shop tiear
by, kept hy a German. He ran over there
to get his watch au American lever iu a
line gold case repaired, and before he
came away bought a set of jewelry, consist
ing of earrings, brooch, &c, for the young
lady ho had left at the inn. The jeweler
took the number of the watch to bo repair
ed, ami asked the name of bis patrou. The
young man answered that his name was
M't'OUMlCK,
and afterwards iu conversation stated that
he had lived in Detroit.
Returning to tho hotel the young man
soon prcseutcd himself before the proprie
tor, with the girl ou his arm and tho little
fellow at his side, and asked for a boat, as
they wanted a row on the river. Air.
1'lummcrfelt at once explained the danger
of attempting tho passage of the river, and
told them tinally that lie would let them
have a boat only on condition of a promise
that they would con I'm e themselves to the
waters of
THE I HllTEWA CREEK,
a deep but sluggish stream, which here
empties into the Niagara. They nil pro
mised readily, aud lowed merrily up the
creek. Near thu distillery less than half
mile above tho village they were si en
"rocking1' tho boat after a reckless fashion
nud amid peals of laughter. A boatman
near tho shore saw that iu excitement they
did uOt notice that the boat was tapidly
titling, aud that if they continued their
epori it would sink. Ilu rowed nut to them,
and showed thcin their danger, mul assist
ed to bail out their boat. Tiicy rcluriK'd
to tho hotel delighted, uud the young geii
tlcuiau drew a large roll of crisp uriv bank
notes, wtapped up in a piece of newspaper,
from the hip or 'pistol1 pocket of his panta
loons, aud handed Mr. l'luiumerlolt tin
anumut something in excess of what he
owed, s&yiug, carelessly, "IVn shall stay
several days. When that is used up I will
pay you more." S;vcral persons saw Ihe
money then iu possession of this gentleman,
and one note was noticed as of the denom
ination of SH0. Tho entire amount has
been variously estimated at from fciiOO to
81,51 Ki.

young gentleman asked where he should

of cold meat, bread, cheese, ala and milk.
Tho three sat down. They ate but little
meat, but drank freely of tho milk, aud
left the ulc untouched. After tho lunch
THEY ALL WHISPERED TOGETHER
and laughed merrily, nnd soon after tlioy
left thu hotel nud walked down to tho
creek.
One of tho villagers noticed, as they pass

glinting tu llio suusinnc, a darK cloutl sud

to walk us if under a dark canopy, When
they oblaiued a boat, however, Ibis time
free to go where they pleused, and under
no restricting promise to the landlord, they
turned its plow down the stream, nnd the
sun came out from behind the cloud and
lighted up the waters uud threw a glory
about the fair girl iu tho stem of tho boat,
and dnzed the eyes or the boy iu the bow.
Au old gentleman who was passing over
the bridge that spans the creek a little dis
tance from its month was attracted by tho
light laughter that came up from tho boat,
and paused a few moments, looking steadi
ly iu that direction. Whether tho young
man at the oars was nt the moiueut too
much engaged in looking iuto the pretty
face directly in front of him or not it is im
possible to say, but the old gentleman re
marked that ho wns very unskillful lu his
management of the boat.

Now, at this point, less than three miles
from tho cataract, it is possible to row
across tho river. Not only is it possible,
but a matter of constant occurrence, it is

the pier near the Krie depot, it is necessary
to row up thu rivor ns far ns tho end of

Down below the mouth of Chippewa

A Word to l'urvulN.
To expect to dnm n river with a feather,'
or stop au earthquake with n plaster, or
drown a huriicuuo with n liu whistle, is
about ns reasonable as to expect by nrgu-
ment or device to change the inclinations of
young people when they nre under the iu-i
flucricc of tho tms-Mou they call love, and'
nro determined to marry the objects of their
desire. '
"Say what you will, and do whnt you
will, mid I will have him 1" said one girl ;
and she did have him, with intemperance,
poverty, beggary, lusauity, uud death to
close the scene.

these stories were truo V" said a christian
minister to a young relative who was com.

by tuuttial friends who hud opportunity to
kuow tho truth.
"No, 1 would not," said she ; but no ono
could convince her of the truth of the state
ments. Twenty or thirty years of paiu and
sorrow, nnd broken heart nnd broken spi
rits, have done thu work for her at hist.
"Would you marry him if you knew ho'
drank liquor ?" said a womuu to a fair
young girl.
"Certainly ; I would marry him and ro
cluiiu him," was the answer. Aud she did
marry him ; and uro sho had passed a
month wilh her huocund sho was advised
by her friends to leave him, aud after a,
year of abuse and sorrow she returned In

of her former self, fleeing from her brutal,
