R. 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.

"I Have Drank My Last GIiimm."
No, comrades, I thank you not any for me
My last chain Is riven henceforward I'm free I
I will go to my home and my children to night
With tin fumes of I'quor their spirits lo bl'mht ;
And with tears in my eyes, I will beg my poor
wife
To foririvc mo the wrccn I have made of her life 1
' I have heicr refused you before!'' Let that
pass.
1-or 1 ve drank my last tlass, boys,
1 have drank my last glass.
Just look at mo now, boys, in fairs and (liirrnce
With in v bieared, hungaid eyus, an I my red,
b'.oitcd f-,ce!
Mark mv falterinn step, and my weak palsied
hand.
And the murk on my brow HihI Is worse than
t ain's brand.
See my eiowi.less old hut, and my elbows ninl
Knees
Alike warmed by the fuii or chilled by the breeze.
Why, even the children will hoot us I pass ;
But I've drank my last glass, boys,
I have drunk my Inst glass.
You would hardly believe, boys, to look lit me
now,
That a mother's soft hand was pressed on my
brow--
Wlien she kissed tnc nnd blessed me, her darling
and pride,
Ere she lay down to rest by my dead father's sldej
But with love lu her eyes, she looked up to the
sky,
Bidding meet her then, nnd whispered, "good
live,"' And I'll do it God helplmj ! Your smile I let puss
- For I've drank my last glass, boys,
I have drank my last glass.
Ah ! I reeled home last night it was not very
late,
For I'd spent my last sixpence, nnd landlords
wont wait
On a fellow who's left every cent in their till.
And bus pawned Ins last bed, their coffers to till.
O, the torments I felt, und the pangs I endured !
And I begised fur one glass ju.-tcmc would have
cured.
But they kicked me out doors! I let that to
pass :
Hut I've drank my last glass, boys,
I have drank my last glu.-s.
At home, my pet Susie, with her golden hair,
1 saw through the window, Just kneeling in
prayer.
From her pale bony hands her lorn sleeves were
strung down,
While her feet, cold nnd bare, shiank beneath
her scant gown ;
Aud she prayed prayed for fumci, just a poor
crust of bread !
For one crust on her knees my pet darling
plead !
Aud 1 henrd wifh no penny to buy one, alus!
But I've drank my last g'.uss, boys,
1 have drank my iasl glass.
For Susie, my dailinif, my wee six year old,
Though fainting with hunger and shivering with
co d,
There, ou the bare floor, .vkel God to bless me !
And she said, "Don't cry, iiiuiuma ! lie will ;
for you see
I believe what I asked for!" Then sobered, 1
crept
Away from the house : and that night when I
slept,
Next my heart lay the Pi.kihik! You smile! let
il puss
For I've drank my last glass, boys,
1 huve drunk my Inst glass.
My darling child saved me ! Iler fait'.! nnd her
love
Arc aliin to my near sainted mother above!
I will make her worus true, or I'll die ill flic
race,
And 6obi!r I'll go to my hut resting place j
And she shall kueel there, and weeping, thank
God
No ilrnnkiiril lies under the daisy-strew sod !
Not u drop more of poi-on my lips Mi, ill e'er

For I've drunk my lust glass, boys,

I low Indian Tr.t'.-k a Trail.
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

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. The Democratic po
litician who is up for oilice fli. s front ruin

very man who urges reform from Republi
can corruption, spends for whiskey the lust
dollar he can borrow, and goes homo drunk
or set s his audience iu that condition.
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

the city of New York. Not a Democratic

circulate a Democratic paper whose col

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
