Stomach or BoWols these terrible Disorders
rising front the Solitary Habits of Yooth those
secret and solitary practices mors fatal to their
Victim than the song of Syren to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, Ac, Impos
sible. tOUNQ MEN . s. :
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
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 10 ecstacy the
living lyre, may call with full co.iliduucc.

sician.
' OROANIC WEAKNESS.
Inipotcncv, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured
and full Vifroi P.cstored.
This Distressing Aneeilon wnicn renders lata
miserable and marriage Impossible Is the penalty
paid by tho victims of improper indulgences.
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being awure of the dreadful cousenences
that may ensue. Now, who that undorstapds
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation Is lost sooner by those falling into
Improper habits than by the prudent t Besides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy offipriu,
the most serious and destructive symptoms to both
body and mind arise. The system becomes de
ranged, tho Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Procreative Power, Nervous
Irritability, uyspcpeia, raipiiauon ox ine ucari,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay aud
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trilling moath after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
should apply immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from oue of the most eminent
Colleges In the United States, and the irrealer
part of whose lfe bus been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsowhoro,
has cU'ectcd some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known many troubled with ring
ing lu the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden soauds,
bushfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
iuiniediutelv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have in Jin-id
themselves by Improper indulgence aud solitary
habits, which ruin both body aud mind, unfitting
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage. Tuksb arc some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains lu the
Bneknud Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of tho Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, &c.
Mentally The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are some of the
evils pr duced.
1 bovsands of persons of all ages can now
Judeo what is tho cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptom of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves by a certain prne-
tice Indulged In when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud If not cured, renders marriage Impos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply Immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling ef his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
putk of nature and indulging In a certain secret
habit. Such persons mi st before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness, luileed without these, the Journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage the prospect
hourly darkens to the view j the Bind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of anolhsr
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure Unds that he has Imbibed the see is of
this painful disease, It too often happens that nu
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread ef discovery,
defers him from applying to those who, from
education aud respectability, cuu alouo befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uocturnl
pains iu the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin boues und anus,
blotches ou the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till ut last the
palate of .he mouth or the bones of the nose full
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful sufferiug, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE.
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Pol
son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, and
iucapable of curing, keep the uuhappy sufferer
montu alter montu lamug iiieir noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of belug restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Hupplueas, iu des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sign over
his galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable ttecrecr, aud
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first In
this country, vis i England, France, Philadelphia
rid elsewhere, Is enabled to offer the most cur
tain, speedy and effectual remedy iu the world
for ull diseases of imprudence.

ST DBLBU M. MASON. i .
Hero's good news for you, mother, tho old far
nier snld,
As he paused where his good wife was moulding
tho bread, r
I've been walking awhllo with our friend neigh
bor Brown, -.
And he says they've stopped selling liquor lu
towu. t
I Just look off my hat nnd shouted huzza,' '
When he said men hail got to lire up to the law.
And I knew ii would make your bvurt :bappy to
know,
They have dried np the fouulaln of lEaducss and
" . woe.
Now the town rill be peaceful and safe once
again,
And the street won't be crowded with wild
drunken men,.
Ad the bovs won't be tempted to smoke, drink
" end tight, r -
To gamble all day aud carouse all tho night.
There's Kate, bless her heart, sho will dnueo
like a top,
For ehe eau go buck now and sew In the shop j
It won't be uusafe for her now I am sure,
For though she is thoughtless the child's heart
Is pure.
You needn't buy things at tho corners no more,
For I'll send Snm to towu to the big dry goods
, store,
He wont come homo druuk with the buggy broke
down,
For I tell you they've stopped selling liquor In
town. '
TlicieVJlm he wou't study and don't take to
work.
We cuu In, kltu go now aitf hire out for a clerk,
It will do 'the boy good, he'll find out it aiu't
piny. wt-
And there ain't any grog-shops to lead him
astray.
Aud there's liltlo Peter, you know how he
learns,
And how he saves up every penny he cams
To buy up a new book, uud the boy s got a plan
That he'll be a lawyer when he is a itti.it.
So if you are willing to venture, I think
Wo will send him to towu now he won't learn to
drink.
They've got a good school, and he'll learn very
fatt. i
I am glad they have stopped sellljg liquor ut

He paused, aud the wife of his youth made re

"Heaven bless tho pure hearts that have put the
curse down,
Thank God they have stopped selling liquor In

KI.SSINU THE KEKVANT GIRL.
I confcfeB I wns very angry. Well I may
as well begin at thu bvgiuuiuj;, anil tell you
tho wliolu story. When I married Tom
Wilkins, all my friends said I had tnado a
Tool of myself--really thrown myself away
with mauy advautaes, too, I should
have done so much better, aud much mora
to thw 6timo purpose. Well, to be sure,
Tom is i big stupid fellow, neither rich uor
haudsome, but 1 loved him, and what oth
er excuse di'cs a womau need for an act of
folly t Jiut Tom had oue fault that troub
led mo p-oally he wa a mot iuvetetato
kisser, liefuru lie was married ho used to
kiss all the girls who visited l.i.-sbistei,iuid
afterwards lie kissud all my 6chool friends
who came to the house, aud kissed mother,
and you must concede that a man is a great
kisser who would kiss hi mothor-iu-htw.
Well, all this I bore iu silence, if not with
patience, till one morning coining out of
my room, what should 1 see but Tom at
the head of tho stairs actually kissing ara
Ann, the hired girl I That was a little more
thin human naturo or at least woman na
ture could bear. I sat down till I Imd re
covered myself a little, and allowed Tom
time to reach tho dining room, be advanced
with his usual smile to kiss tue, but I drew
back angrily.
. 'Why Jessie, what's the matter?' he
aid looking surprised, 'am I uut to have a
kisB this morning ?'
'As you have already had the pleasure
of kissiug Sara Ann, I think that will do
for one morning. I should not fancy the
flavor of your. kiss after that.'
Tom actually blushed. "Oh, you saw
thai did you, Jessie ? Well, w he re's the
t:reat harm iu that V It's my motto to im
lVe sweetness wherever I find it.'
'Well I fancy you did not imbibe a great
deal from that souriv, and the harm is that
it lowers your dignity as head of the family,
besides giving the servants exaggerated
opinions of their owu importance.'
'What nonsense. I don't snppose Sara
Ann will ever thiuk of it again, any more
than I should if you hud uot tukuu mo to
tusk about it.'
..r , ....
xou Beem to lorge',, lorn, llmt jiersons
in her position are not so intelligent as
those in ours. They judge almost wholly
by actions, and I atu quite sure Sara Aun
thinks you are iu love with her.'
'JJuu't make a mountain out of a mole
hill, my dear.'
'Well, Tom. how would you like to sec
me kissing old Kiieu V
'Well, really, if you should ever have
the least desire to kit. old Jhbeu, I don't
think I could fin.d it iu my heart to object,'
laughed Tom, us hu closed the door and
weut away.
Old Ebon had come from my owu neigh
borhood, and was our mau of all work, uud
the ugliest mortal that I ever set eyes on.
.So I could but acknowledge there might be
a ditletvuce between kissing him aud Sara
Ann, who was really Rood-looking.
Well, 1 fell so bad that 1 could not help
sitting d.;wn und having a good cry, Iu
the midst of it I saw some one coming up
the walk, who was smiling nud beekouiug
to me, as though well assured of a welcome.
It proved to be my brother John, who had
beuu from homo (or year. We were ex
pecting him but not o soon. Afler the
greetings were over, and we were a little
quieted, he questioned mo about my tears,
and at length drew from me the whole sto
ry. 'SdVlttjy were not far wrong in aying
you mad a fool f yourself by marrying
him, eh, Jessie y Well, why don't you
make him jtut himself in your place V
OU, Juhu, you don't ineau for to to
'Kiss old Eben ?' hardly,' said John, dri
ly, 'but you can put me iu Ebtu place for
a few days.'
'Oh, John thaU just the thing. lie was
to have goue borne last week for a few days
but his uephew, who was coining to lake
bis place was takcu ill, aud he wag obliged
to give up going.'
'Well, tell hhu you have- got some one to
take his place, an J get him off this forenocu,
aud now. before auv one sees mo, I'll go
back to lite hotel v. here I left my baggage
aud disguise myself a little.'
Well. I sent off Eben and soon John came
back beyond recognition, with a blue shirt
and his hair combed back behind bis enrs,
and plastered very smoothly down to bis
head. lie looked very funny, but he went
about liis work In such a stoical, Indifferent
way thnt oue would have thought It the
life ho hud always led. '
When Tom came home I remarked that
Ebeu's uephew, Teddy O'Brien, had taken
his place, and he imd at last gone to pay
his visit, and I was so pleasant and chatty
that Tom thought I had quite forgotten the
occurence of the morning, and ho was very
amiable and sweet in consequence.
Iu the morning I was up betimes. Tom
likes his morning nap, and while apparent
ly Bolicitious that he should not bo disturb
ed I at the lime took care to make noise
enough to keep him wideawake, though he
lay with his eyes shut, pretending to be
asleep.
At last I heard a step in the hall, and
epening tho door, called Sara Aun, but
Teddy answered.
'The top o' tho morning to ynu, Missus ;
it's ns frash nnd swate as a rose you're
looking ; and what can I do for yon Mum?'
'Ah" Teddy, is it you? I'd like some
hot water, if you'll tell Sarah Auu to briug
it.'
'I'll bring it myself iu a jiffy,' said Ted
dy, disappearing down tho stairway. I a
au incredibly short time he re-appeared
with it.'
'Why, Teddy, how quick you are.'
Shu'ro Mum, who would no bestir him
self for bo swato a leddy as you V
4Ah, Teddy likw all your couulrymen
you havo kissed tho blarney stone.
'Xiver a stone, Mum, but 1 mind well
when we weio children together. Matty's
tho time I've kissed your swato lips ; ah,
I would I were a boy again. '
'What for, Teddy V
'Sliure, and wouldn't I be doing that
same again. Ah, mum, this is for the
sake of old times,' and thereupon he kissed
tue with a noise little less thau a clap of
thunder.
'Why, Teddy, havo you taken leavo of
your souses ? Do you not forget I'm a
married woman V
'More's the pity, mum ; but where' the
harm, you'll uever miss the swateness I
Btole.'
'Suppose my husband had heard you
kiss me V
'lie, never fear, he's sleeping like an ele
phant.' 'Oh you naughty Teddy, begone.'
'Cioing mum ;' and repeating the smack
he disappeared dowu the stairway just as
Tom called to know who was there.
'It is I, Tom, dear,' I answered sweetly-
'And who else ?'
'Oh, only Teddy brought up the hot wa
ter. Will you get up iiov before it gets
cold V
Tom said no more, but I saw he was fur
tively watching mo all the time ho was
dressing. At length bo said :
'What kind of a fellow is this Teddy V
'Oh, Tom,' I exclaimed, 'the nicest fel
low, I'm sure when you see him you'll agree
with mo that it will be lietter to dismiss
Ebeu and keep him instead ; you know we
were children.'
'My dear Jessie, aint you a little I I
thought I heard
'Ah, yes,' I interrupted 'that door does
squeak dreadfully. I'm sorry it awoke
you; but it wont make any ditlerence.l'or it's
tiiuu to get up, nuyliuw. There, I'm ull
dressed before you have beguu, so I'll go
dowu and get some flowers.'
Wheu Tom came down I was iu the din
ing room arratigiug my Mowers, Teddy
was Btuuding by me, uud as Tom came iu
he, pretending uot to see him, remarked :
Well lo my thinking, there' is not it (low
er among them half so swale as you 'then
perceiving Tom, he pulled hi fore-lock and
scraped his foot iu regular servant style.
'Moruiu,' sir ; it's thu master I s'poso
you are ; toiue, sir, for the time of the
year.'
Tom looked just furious.
It seems to ine you don't kuow your
place very well ; iu future, confine yourself
to your own quarters uud speak Vi lieu yuu
are spoken to.'
Sure, 1 meant uo offense, sir.'
Will you go, und without replying, Tom
Stormed.
'Why, my dear Tom,' I remarked, smil
ing sweetly, 'what a strange dislike you
seem to have taken to poor Teddy. I was
iu ho es you would like him as I do, aud
lake him in Ebeu's place.'
'If he dou't niiud what he's abuut, I'll
kick him out of doors.'
The breakfast passed fu absolute sileuce.
As wu passed the pan try ou our way to the
parlor we heard Teddy's voice and I made
To.n stop lo listen.
'It's a loine looking girl you are, Sara
Anu, and I'd give you a kiss, I would in-
dade, if your brith didn't smell of iugions.'
'Ingious, indadc, and who axed you for
a kiss 'i Do you s'pose I'd be wauliii' oue
from tho likes o' you, wheu I can get I hem
from your betters ?'
'My beitera aud who do you call my
belters ''
Shuro, aud isu't it the master himself,
that kisses me every blessed moruiu' of his
life, and does ho spal.e of ingious uot
much.'
The master. Now it' joking you are,
Sara Auu ; do you s'pose I'm fool euough
to belave that V
JJeluve it or uot it's the blessed truth I'm
telliu' you. Siiuro, if eny thing should hap
pcu lo the missis, it's uot long I'd be a ser
vant litre.'
'And it's kisses you, you ay he does;
well it's quale cray lures you wimin are any
way. Mow men think it disgraceful lo kiss
aud tell uud hero you boast ol it.
We waited to hear uo more, but Tom's
(a co was iu a blaze, and he took his hut uud
led without word or look.
The next morning Teddy aud I mauaged
to be iu the same place ou the stairs where
I bad seen Tom kiss Sura Auu, and as he
opened the door, Teddy kissed mu loud
enough to bo heard all over the house, aud
then hurried away while I weut ou to the
diniug room. Tom came iu presently with
and awful frown, which I pretended not lo
bee, aud held up my face to be kissed, but
he pushed me rudely from bitu.
'Why, Tom, aiu't you going to kiss
me V
'IX) you thiuk I'm blind, Mrs. Wilkius ?
I saw that Teddy kiss you just now, aud
its not the drat time either. Do you thiuk
I'll stand such doiugs ? No, I'll brenk
every bouu iu the rascals body if 1 hang for
it, aud you shall go home to your mother till
you have loaioed to behave yourself.'
Now, my dear Tom where' the harm
iu that I believe in imbibing sweetuess
wherever I tlud it, so dou't make a moun
tain of a molehill. '
You should have ceu his face when he
heard me repeat hid owu words.
'Look here, Jessie,' ho said at length,
'you've got tho beet of mo, though it waa a
hard way of giving me a kssou.'
( Rw Nerlcs, Vol. 5, Xo. ftd.
j Old Kerict Vol. 8S, Xo.4t.
'Not moro severe than the case required,
Tom. I only made you put yourself iu my
place.'
'Well, Jessie, if it filled you with such
intense disgust to see me kiss Sara Ann as
it did me to see you kiss thnt confounded
Teddy, I don't wonder you were angry.'
Well, wo talked the matter over at length,
and agreed to dismiss both Teddy and Sara
Ann, giving them a month's wages instead
of a warning. -
I heard Sara Ann mutter to Teddy,
'shure aud 1 belave the missis suspicts the
ninsUr is sweet ou me.
.Nivcf you fool yourself in that way.' said
Teddy. 'It's himself ns is sending us
awny.'
Well nt length they we're off, and the
next day Dbeu came back and I had a new
girl ; hut all this time Tom had not kissed
me nud treated me almost with aversion, as
though my sius were too great for forgive
ness. While we wcro at dinucr, brother John
arrived, I was a curious -to see if Tom
would recognize him. Ue looked at him with
a puzzled cxpressiou but snid nothing, but
presently he became immediately gay, and,
indeed, almost brilliant. Iiter wheu we
were alone, he took ine iu his arms aud
kitted mo and whispered, 'well, Jessie, I
sec you have got Teddy back after all. Oh,
if you only knew the relief it gave mu to see
you had not degraded yourself.'
'Oh, vou foolish Tom. do vou think I i
could have ever dared to have descended to
that, even to givn you a much needed les
son y But see how inconsistent you men
are: you have uo forgiveness for the least
false step a woman makes, even wheu she
is only following your example to tho let
ter.' C(EST0N1)EXCE.

A MAMMOTH U'.iUlNCI ESTABLISHMENT.
No event could possibly oi-ctir that would
furnish greater interest to the fair sex than
dots the magnificent fashionable opening
given by Lord nnd Taylor at their colossal
up towu establishment. These opeunings
all'ord the elite a chance to make their selec
tions and feast their eyes ou manufactured
spleuder, nnd the oppnrtuuity to attend
them is eagerly imbruced. itecently we
attended the opening giveu to exhibit the
latest styles in dresses and dressmakers I
materials and to say we were dazzled by j
the display would but feebly express the
merits of tho a (fair, among the novelties
most noticeable were dresses made in imi- !
tatiuu of the costly originals made by
orth of Paris. These dresses were exact
duplicates, both In material nnd workmau-1
ship and were intended to show the t.llar :
fashionables, that this CBtab!i.hiviet:l can !
produce as good a dress as the famous j
l'artisian in his happiest efforts and at less i
than half thu ciwt of imported dresses.
This linu havo at a great cxitei'.ee procured !
a machine by which they are enabled to
give tho appearance of hmvy cards such ns
those iu the material used by Worth, tliu
effects of which is indisciihahle beautiful.
The opening of this firm ditl'vrs fr.un that
of many others in that they do not st-;k to
dazzle one with the uiaguiUccticu of their
robes, but to show what they can do at
reasonable prices. They have been show
ing for some lime drosses can be uittde here
which challenge comparison with imported
ones, nt about the price of the material of
the foreign manufacture. The tut of dress-
making here has been reduced to a science,
for ladies out of tmvn can h ive a erfect
fitting tires made by simply seiidiui: the
waist of an old dress and th.i length of
skirt desired : a ivrfert lit is ciiarrnnleed.
It is proper to state that tho dress depart-
meul of this establishment has vastly im
proved both in the character ui its matiu- I
fac'.urcK and general surroundings under i
the management of Mr. J. W. Warrin, the
able superintendent cf this huio. Mr.
Warrin lias the entire respoiisibility of
managing this mammoth temple, and to
do liini justice, we will say that his syste
matic arrangements are sj perfect, that the
routine of duties performed reminded one
of thu workings o! a huge clock. One thing
he especially deserviug praiso for is bis
politeness, which is chestei liuld in every
respect, aud the same may be said of all
the t((7ie under him. Wheu once a lady
buys from this house she is sure ever after
to do her purchasing there. So much for
politeness aud au honest representation of
goods examined aud solicited. Auother
thing dosorviug of uotico is the admirable
manner in which one can while away a
siuiro halt' hour, whilst wailing for lady
friends to be measured for dresses. It a a
grand parlor, furnished with elegant tasto,
iu which there is a handsome piauo, and a
large library of works from the ix;l authors'
aud poets. This enable those who v s.it
to pass the time away in pleasurable ex
citement. No other store iu New Yoik
affords tucl. facilities.
