JOHNSTON, Physician of this celebrated Institution, has discovered the most ccrtuln, speedy, pleasant aud effectual remedy In the world for all DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE. Weakness of tho Buck or Limbs, Strictures, Affections of Kidneys nnd BInddcr, Involun tary Discharges, Impotcncy, General Debili ty, Nervousness, Pyspc.psy, Languor, Low Spirits, Confusion of Mens, Palpitation of the Heart, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimness of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of the Head, Throat, Noso or Bkln, Affections of Liver, Lungs, Stomach or Bowels these terrible Disorders arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those secret and solitary practices more fatal to their victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners of Ulyssos, blighting their most brilliant hopes of anticipations, rendering marriage, &c, impos sible. IOUNG MEN especially, who have become the victims of Soli tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit which annually sweeps to an untimely crave thousands of young men of the most exalted talents and brilliant intellect, who might other wise have entranced listening Senates with the thunders of eloquence or waked to ccstacy the livlug lyre, may call with full confidence. MARRIAGE. Married Persons or Young Men contemplating marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss of Procreutlve Power Impotency), Nervous Ex cituhllity, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner vous Debility, or any other Disqualification, speedily relieved. He who places himself under tho euro of Dr. J. may religiously confide In his honor as a gentle man, und confidently rely unon his skill us a I'll v slcian. ORGANIC WEAKNESS, Impotency, Loss of Power, immediately Cured nnd full Vigor Restored. This Distressing Affection which renders Lire miserable and marriage impossible is the penalty paid by the victims of Improper indulgences. Youvg persons are too apt to commit excesses from not bcingaware of thodrcodfulconseqences thut may ensue. Now, who that understands tho snbjoct will pretend to deny that tho power of procreation Is lost sooner by those falling Into improper habits thnn by tho prudent I Besides being deprived the pleasuresol' healthy offspring, the most scrlons and destructive symptoms to both body and mind arise. The system becomes de ranged, tho Physical and Mental Functions Weakened, Loss of Frocrcatlve Power, Norvous Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of tho Heart, Indigestion, Constitutional Duhllity, a Wasting of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and Dentb. A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS. Persons ruined In health by unlearned preten ders who keep them trifling month after month, taking poisonous and Injurious compounds, should apply immediately. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lou don, Graduated from one of the most eminent College in the United States, nnd tho greater part of whoso Ife has been spent in the hospitals of London, Prls, Philadelphia and elsewhere, lias effected some of the most astonishing cures thut were ever known ; many troubled w ith ring ing in tho heud and cars when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden somids, bashfiilncss, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of uiiud, were cured immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all tho.-e who have in.iurrd themselves by improper Indulgence uud solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, untitling them for either business, study, society or inar rlace. Tiif.hb arc some of the sad and melancholy effects produced by early lmbll of youth, vizi Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains iu the Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Diu'c-i ive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con sumption, 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, Self-Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, iSc, are some of the evils produced. Thousands of persons of nil ages can now Judge w hat Is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous and emaciated, h:iving a singular appearance about tlic eyes, cough and symptom ot consump tion YOUNG MEN Who liavo Injured themselves by a certain prac tice indulged In when ulone, a habit frequently burned from evil companions, or ut school, the i llects of which nro nightly felt, even when asleep, and If not cured, render marriage impos sible, und destroys both uiiud and body, should apply Immediately. What a pity that n young man, the hope of his country, the darling ef his parents, should lie snatched from all prospects nnd cnjoynieiits-of lift, by tho consequence of deviating from the path of nut u re and Indulging iu a certain secret habit. Such persons si 1st before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that n sound mind und body are tho most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage j the prospect hourly darkens to the view; the uiiud becomes tdiaduwed with despair ami filled with the melan choly reflection, that the happiuess of uuotuer becomes blighted w ith our own. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleusuro finds that he bus imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often happens that 1.11 ill-timed ensc of shame, or dread of discovery, deter hlin from applying to those who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend Mm, delaying till the constitutional symptom ol tins horrid disease make their appearance, such a ulcerated sore throat, diseased uose, uoctural pains iu the head uud limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin boues und arms, blotches on the head, face aud extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at lust the palate 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 hi dreadful suffering, by sending him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence no traveller returns." H is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims tn this terrible disease, through falling Into the hand of Iguoruut or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Pol son, Mercury, Ac., destroy the constitution, uud Incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer month after month luuiug ineir noxious or in jurious compounds, and iustcad of being restored to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiuess, lu des pair leave hlin w ith ruined Heulth to sigh over his galliug disappointment. To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledge him self to preserve tho most Inviolable Secrecv, uud from hi extensive practice and observations in the great Hospitals of Europe, und tho first in this couutry, viz: England, France, Philadelphia and elsewhere, is enabled to offer tho most cer tuiu, cfdy and effectual remedy iu the world for all diseuse of imprudence.

A Dr. Iliins'ioiuloll gives an intrrestinn nccouut ot tlio extraordinary skill of Indian trailers. The Indian or trapper that is a shrewd trailer in a man of close bscrvittion, quick perception und prompt action. As he goes along nothing escapes his observa tion, aud what lie s.ees or hears lie accounts lor immediately. Olten not another step is taken until u mystery, that may present it sell in this line, is fairly solved. The. In dian trailer will stand still for hours iu suc cession to account for certain traces or ef tvcls iu tracks and sometimes gives to tliu matter unremitting attention lor days and weeks. The trailer is not a graceful man. He carries Ids head much inclined, his eye is quick and restless, always on thu watch, ami ho is practising his ait unconsciously, hardly ever crossing the track of mat: or aninml without seeing it. When he enters a house lie hrinu'S t lie habits he contracted in the practice of his ari with liiui. I know a trailer as soon as he enters my room. He comes in through the door sofllv, and with an air of exceeding caution. lieforu he is fairly in or ut least has sat down, lie has taken note of every article or person, though there may be a dozen vacant chairs in liie room. He is not (Tsed to chairs, and like the Indian prefers more humble rest. When I was employed by General Har ney last summer to take charge temporarily of the Indians that were gathered near Fort Randall, Dakota, to form n new reser vation, one day a guiiie und trailer came to the gdii'Ml's headquarters. I told him to be seated. Ho sat dowu on the lloor brac ing his back against tho wall. The gent-rat saw this, aud in vexation cried out : "My God ! why don't you take a chair when there are plenty hero unoccupied " Tim man arose and seated himself iu a chair, but iu so awkward uud uueotufortit blj a manlier that lie looked as if ho might slip from it nny moment. Hut when this uncouth person came to transact his busi ness with thu general he turned out lo be a man of no ordinary abilities. His des cription of a route he look as guide nnd trailer for the Ogallalas, iu bringing them from the l'latlc to tiie fort, was ininule and exceedingly interesting. Every war patty that crossed his trail lie dcstrilnid with minuteness us lo llieir number, the kind of una they had, and staled the tribes they belonged to. lu these strange revelations that he made there was neither importance nor supposition, for ho gave satisfactory reasons for every assertion he made. I have ridden several hundred miles wilhun experienced guide and trailer, Hawk, whom I iulerroggated upon many points iu the practice oi his art. Nearly all thu tracks I saw cither old or new, us a novice in the art, I questioned him about. In going to tliu Niobrara river wo crossed the track of an Indian pony. My guide followed thu track a tew miles, und then said .' VU is a stray black horse, wi'-h a long, bushy tail, pearly starved to death, has a split hoot of ttie left forefoot, aud goes very luiue, uud lie passed here curly this morning." As tonished und incredulous, I asked him thu reason for knowing these particulars by the tracks of thu uuiuial whuu tie replied; ''It was a stray homo, because it did not go a J.ii'tt '.ine , his la:, was brig for Le JL 0 Xw Series, Vol. tl, Xo. 17. Old Scrips, Vol. 88, No. 31. dragged it over the enow, in brushing tigaitifct a bush he left some of his hair, which shows its color ; he was very hungry, for iu going along he has nipped nil those high, dry weeds, which horses seldom cat ; tho fissure, of tho lelt forefoot left also its trnck, and tho depth of the indentation shows Iho degree of his lameness, nnd his tracks show ho was here this morning when the snow was hard with frost." Tho most noted trailer of this country was Uatil Daloria, a half breed, who died under my hands of Indian consumption last summer. I have spoken of him iu a former letter. At one limit I rodo with him, tuid training whs natiiraiiy the subject of our conversation. I begged to trail with him an old track over tho prairie in order lo learn its history. 1 hardly made thu proposition when lie drew up his horse, which was a rapine., and said : "Well here is an old elk track. Let us gel oft" our horses and follow il." We followed it but a few rods, when he said it was exactly a month old, and nindu at two o'clock iu the afternoon. This he knew, as then we had our Inst rain, nnd nt tho hour named the ground was softer than at any other time. The trnck beforu us was then made. Ho broke up here and there clusters of grapes that lay in tha path of the track, and show ed me the dry ends of some, the. slumps of, others, nnd by numerous other similar items accounted for many circumstances that astonished me. We followed on the trail over a mile Now aud then saw that a wolf, a fox nnd other animals had practiced their trailing instincts on the elk's Irncks. Here nnd there ho would show me where a snake, a rate and a prairie dog had crossed llie track. Nothing had followed or crossed the track that the quick eve of tliu Daloria did not detect. He gave an account of tke habits of all the animals Hint had left their foot prints on tin; track, also of the state of tho weather since the elk passed, and tho ef fects of sunshine, wind, aridity, sand storms and other inlluences that had a hearing on these tracks. Tho old man, like nil trail ers, was reticent, but on this occasion see ing that I wns interested, becamu speudily communicative. "VYhNkey uud the Diuorucy." Under this title "lirick" l'omeroy's Be momit discusses the relations of the Detim ctatic parly to the liquor tralllc, in thu fol lowing straightforward, manly style. Ile puhltcan politicians may learn something from a careful study of the nrlicle. It is truu that "the aim of the Republican parly was morally higher" in its early victories, but there is a tendency now lo come dowu to the plane of the Democratic party, and pander to the whiskey interest. The fate of the Democracy should bo sullicicnt warn ing in regard to such a course. Wo hero hold it up as a "fearful example :" "Why is it that so many Democratic po liticians are afraid to endorse temperance ? Why is it that Democracy and drunken ness ate so generally associated t Go where you will nnd three out of live Democrats are afraid to be known as temperance men, as if it were a disgrace to be one and a crime to discountenance tho cause of nine-tenths of tho misery and three fourths of tho local taxation now cursing this country.

Hundreds of limes have wo been severely denounced for defending the cause of tem perance, on the ground that without tho whiskey vote tho Democracy is a dead duck. "So it is that the Democrats wallow in the mire when they might walk on the trottoir. They seek the support of the de praved, and of those whose diseased ap petites war upon the body and demoralize thu iutellect. thinking more of a -whiskey bottle than of hook or of bruins. Instance the city of New York. Not a Democratic politioian iu the city dare put himself on the lee. ml as a temperance mini. To do so is to loose tho support of eight thousand six hundred grog-shops in this city. Not a Democratic politician in Ibis city dare circulate a Democratic paper whose col umns plead for temperance, sobriety and morality, lest the vote of the thief, tliu hul Iv, thu repealer, the. drunken loafer aud disgraced humanity be lost to the party be fore the poor drunkard is lost to hie. "Democrats aru to blame for the. nbuso they bring upon themselves. There is a duly to society, to humanity, totUe widow, the orphan and the taxpayer thu mero De mocratic politician looses sight of.

Tho Holy Lund. A Now Yoik lawyer is traveling in tho Holy Land, and writes his impressions to the New York Oisci tcr. Here is what ho says of the Sea of Galilee and Nazireth : A short ride from Tabor will bring us to the Sea of Galilei. We see not hi 114 of it till we come suddenly to a deep basin, and there, one thousand feet below us, lies thu little lske like, a jewel of crystal. You sc it sll at one glance, from its northern toila southern limit, and oti every side. Yoxi are surprised to sec how small il appears. It is thirteen miles long nnd six broad, and yet it looks not more than live mites long, so clear is the atmoshore. The hills of Rashan, on the opposito sbore,rise abruptly two thousand feet high, and to the nortli the lund rises gradually to tho foot of Hef iium. We descend and encamp on tho beach. The waters are as clears crystal. A wild gorge on the shore just opposite ns marks the place called Gergesa, where tho demo niac was held. While we wcro thcro a tempest of wind came down on tho lnko, and in an hour lashed it into a fury. Wo could well understand tho terror of tho dis ciples in one of these storms at midnight. The only town of any kind on the shores to bu seen is Tiberias, once a proud city, now a dilapidated residence of Arabs. North of Tiberias is the silo of ilagdala, Crtpernaum nnd Chorazin ; but no man can tell where the two last named wcro situa ted. The woo pronounced against these, places which rejected the Lord, is so liter ally fulfilled, that even their ruins lio hid-, den from the gaze of man. It is one of tho saddest pictures in thu Holy Iind to stand on the shores of this beautiful lake, onco teeming with life nnd commerce, onco blessed with the picture, preaching aud miracles of our Divine Lord, and to see tb utter desolation which hovers over it. Not n man, not a boat, not a moving thing tt tie Reen on it, or on its shores. At suusct it gleamed like a most beautiful jewel, set around by the hills of Cnchan, Ilermonand Tabor, whoso tops were tinged with tho soft glow of golden light ; but there was a death-like stillness reigning over the whole which one could feci, aud which was nl most appalling. Nazareth is one of the prettiest towns in Palestine. Jt is built of w bite stone, and rises on the side of a high hill which Blopos into a wide and fruitful valley. Front tho top of the side of a high hill which slopes into a wide aud fruitful valley. From tho top of this hill where tho Saviour in his youth must, often have wandered, tho view is grand. Here you see tliu Mediterranean, Mount Cnrmel across the plain of Kad me lon, which is nt your feet ; the mountains of Gilboa and Tabor, nnd scores of places memorable in Scripture history. If you choose to bo credulous, you may goo tho house of Mary where she received the won drous annunciation of the angel Gabriel her kitchen and cooking utensils ; also tho house nf Joseph and his work-shop, aud even the chair he made and sat in. It wns enough for me to know that hero the child Jesus lived, that he walked theso streets, roamed over these hills und valleys, thnt ho here developed his true humanity, and "increased in wisdom and statnre aud favor with God aud man." Catchino tiik Train. One of tho greatest delights of boarding in the coun try for the summer is the pleasure a matt derives from bis etlorts to catch the early morning train by which he must reach tho : city and his business. When ho gets out of bed he looks at his watch, and tlnds ho has plenty of time ; so he dresses leisuroly 1 nnd sits dowu to breakfast in a calm and serene state of mind. Just as he cracks his first egg he hears thu up-truiu. He starts, jerks out his watch, compares it with tho clock, and finds it is eleven minutes slow, aud that he has only four minutes left iu which to get to the depot, lu a fearful hurry he tries to scoop the egg out of tho shell, but it burns his tiugers ; thu skin is tough, and after fooling with it for a mo ment it mashes into a hopeless mess, and he gels his lingers smeared ; ho drops thu whole concern in disgust, grabs a hot roll, and scalds his tongue with a quick mouth ful of collce ; then he stutl's the roll in his - mouth, while his wife hands him his satch el and tells him she thinks she hears the whistle. lie plunges madly around tho room looking for his umbrella ; then kisses bis w ife as well as he can with all that uu swallowed bread distending his cheeks, his cheeks, says good-bye to the children in a lump, and makes a dash for tho door. Just as he gets to the gala he finds that he has forgotten his duster, aud he cliarg- . es back alter it, snatches it up, and tears down thu gravel walk iu a ftenzy. Ho doesn't liko to run through Iho village, be cause that would be too undignified, but ho walks furiously. He goes faster and faster. Half way dowu he does hear the whistle for certain. He wants to run, but hu knows that hu will start up tlint yellow dog there by tho sidewalk if he dues. Then he actually sees the train coming into tho depot, and he feels that ho munt make a rush. He docs. Thu yellow dog becomes excited, and tears alter bim. Six other . dogs join in the chase, one after the other, and burk furiously and frolic around his legs. Small boys contribute to the excite- incut us he goes past by whistling on their ' ttngi i s, nnd the men at work ou thu new meetitig-bousu knock off lo look ut him and laugh, lie tiels ridiculous, but he must catch thai liuin. Hu gels desperate when he has to slacken up until two or three wo men, w ho are on the sidewalk diseossiug thu servaut-airl question and the price of , butter, scatter lo pass. He arrives within one hundred yards of thu depot with dus- tcr flying in the wind, contrails horizontal, and lh yellow dog nipping his heels, just . a the train begins to move. Hu puts 011 extra pressure, nnd resolves to make thut' train or perish. He reaches it a the fast car is going past. He seizes the hand rail, is violently jerked uvouiid once or twice, but liually lauds ou tho step on his knees, and is hauled in by his coat collar by tho 1 brukeuiau, hot. mud, dusty, with hi trou sers torn act oss the knees, his skin bruis ed, and three libs iu his umbrella broken. just as he get comfortably into the cur thu tieiu slops, backs up on the siding and lays there for half uu hour while the t-ugi- . i neer fixes a broken valve. Then hu is j madder than ever, uud determines that ho ' will movu in low u to-morrow, und nvcnrs I while hu looks out of the window uud watches the dogs that followed him mgug t d iu a coulcbl over a bono which tho Jel- -low dog fouud ou Ihu platform of Iho sla- 1 liou, uud he register a silent vow to devote 1 his first holiday to hunting up that dog and braining him with a club.---V-i t li?tr.
