HOSPITAL
XJ
Phvsician of this celebrated Institution, lias
discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasant and
effectuol remedv In the world forall
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
"Weakness ot the Back or Limbs, Strictures,
A flections or Kidnevs and Bladder, Involnn
tary Discharges, Impotencv, General Debili-
ty, Nervousness, Dvspepsy, Languor, Low
Spirits, Confasion of Ideas, Palpitation of
the Heart, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimness
of Sipht or Giddiness, Disease of the Head,
Throat, Nose or Skin, Affections of Liver, Lunes,
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 ot cyrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, fec, impos
sible.
IOUNG MEN
esjeclally, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful aud destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of vouncr men ef the most exalted
talents and brilliant Intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
tbnnders of eloquence or naked to ecstacy the
living lyre, mav call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, jlom
of Procreutive Power Impotencv), Nervons r.x
citabilitv, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself uudur the care of Dr. J,
may religiously confide lit his honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely unon his skill as a Phy
sician.
ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Impotencv, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured
and full igor Restored.
This Distressing Afl'ectiou which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible is the penalty
paid by the victims or improper indulgences.
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful consciences
thnt may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the owcr
.f procreation is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent t Besides
beinir deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
t he most serious and destructive symptoms to both
lioilv and mind arise. The system becomes de
ranged, the Physical aud Mental Functions
Weakened. Loss of Procreative Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dvspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigent ion, Constitutional Debility, a Wastiug
of the rraiue, Cough, Consumption. Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS
Persons ruined In health by unlearned preteu
tiers who keep them trifline month after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
should apply immediately.
PK. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgcous, Lou
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Col'eges in the Initcd States, and the greater
part of whose ife has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has e fleeted some of the most astouishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in the bead and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden soauds,
bashfuluess, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of miud, were cured
iiumediatclv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
. Dr. J. addresses all those who have injurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body aud mind, untitling
them lor eii her business, study, society or mar
riuue.
Tuese are some of the sad and melancholy
elleets produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakuess of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, DimneBS of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
cumption, &c.
Mentally The fearful effects on the mind

fii.in. r.f T.. IVnrminn nf Hliir'il. Frit- I
Fnretkfwt infra Inrcldn to. Mtwietr. Helf-DistrilKt. I
Love of Solitude, Timidity, Ac, are some of the
evils produced.
Tboi'Sakds of jcrsons of all ages can now
judge what Is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have iujured th m selves by a certain prac
tice indulged In when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at scbeol, 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
natchci from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
pHlb of nature and Indulging lu a certain secret
habit. Such irsons must before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
uecessary requisites to promote counubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prosjieet
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind t-ecomes
shadowed with despair and filled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided aud imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education aud respectability, can alone befrieud
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to "that Undiscovered Couutry from wheuce
no traveller returns."
It is-a melancholy fact that thousauds DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Iguorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, aud
incapable of curing, keep the nnhappy sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
W a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, iu des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most inviolable lecrecT, and
from his extensive practice aud observations iu
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first ii:
this country, via : England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to otter the most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy iu the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

ENDORSEMENT OF THE PRESS.
The many thousands cured at this Establish
ment, year after year, and the numerous im

Johnston, witnessed by the representatives of the
press and many other papers, notices of wlacb
have appeared again and agaia before the public,
besides his standing as a geutlemau of character
and responsibility, is a sufficient guarautee to the
afflicted. Shiu diseases speedily cured.

DAY UREA It.
BY 11. W. LONGFELLOW.
A wind came up out of the sea,
And said, "O, mists, make rooui for me!"
It hailed the ships, and cried, "Sail on,
Ye mariners, the night is gone !"
And hurried landward far niray,
Crying, "Aw&ke ! it is the day !'
It said nnto the forest, "Shout !
Hang all your leafy banners out !"
It touched the wood-bird's folded wing,
And said, "O bird, awake and sing !"
And o'er the farms "O chanticleer,
Your clarion blow ! the day is near !"
It whispered to the fields of corn,
"Bow down, and hail the coming morn !"
It shouted through the belfry tower,
"Awake, O bell ! proclaim the honr !"
It crossed the church-yard with a sigh,
And said, "Not yet ! in qniet lie !"
THE BALAXCE.
The only adventure I ever had worth re
latincr (said mv friend riiiHD Ilolmani
occurred one night during a journey from
New York to a point a few miles north.
The cars were just comfortably full, the
coach l entered havim; a sintrle vacant seat
as well as a few containing only oue occu
pant each. I established myself comforta
bly in the vacant seat close by the window,
and, as the train moved slowly through the
depot, watched the vanishing lights and
passengers waiting for other trains . While
thus engaged my attention was arrested by
a man rushing hastily from a little crowd
near the ticket office. He ran toward the
car I bad taken and in another moment
entered. His appearance was striking.
He was of large commanding stature, with
a full black beard. His face was expressive
and intelligent, and would have been noble
but for a peculiar look about the eyes, which
moved about restlessly and with a nervous
alertness. Having closed the car door he
hesitated, looked back as if in anxiety, and
then peered intently out of the window for
a moment. Finally he walked forward as
if some mental question had been decided
and stopped by my side.
'Is this scat occupied sir ?' lie inquired
courteously.
'No, sir,' I replied, and made room for
him.
'I came near missing the train,' he said,
after beiug seated. 'You haven't noticed
a small man with iron-gray whiskers and
dark clothes aboard, have you ?'
'No.' I answered. 'Were you looking
for a friend ?'
'A friend ?' he echoed absently ; and
then with animation. 'Oh. no bv no
means not at all.' He wound up his em
phatic denial with a short laugh. 'It's all
right !' he finally exclaimed.
Rather an excentric character,' I
thought.
For some moments our journey was pur
sued in silence, when my companion
abruptly turned to me, and said in a tone
of conGdence :
'For years I have beer, studying one of
the most gigantic problems that has ever
occupied the human mind.'
Ah !' I said not knowing what else to
say.
'They say the Rritish government has a
standing ofli-r often thousand pounds as a
reward for its solution. Do you believe
it?'
'To what problem do you refer ?' I in
quired. 'Oh, pardon me? Perpetual motion
that graud desideratum of all inventors,
scholars, and thinkers.'
'I have heard something of such an offer,
but scarcely credit the story.'
'And why ?' he demanded.
'Because it is a generally accepted con
clusion among intelligent people that there
can be no such thing as perpetual motion.
An effect without a cause is an anomaly
which no amount of inventive genius can
overcome.'
'My dear sir,' he said earnestly, 'you
have been Imposed upon by old sophism.
How singular are the delusions that logic
creates! Reasou, that great attribute of
niau, can prove lies to be true, and cause
people to deny facts aud cling to error. It
can aud does deceive, delude, and degrade,
when it ought to enlighten and elevate.
And, sir, it's all owing to the hornless im
becility of its recognized exponents I'
'You are rather sweeping in your de
nunciation.' I suggested, with a smile and
a curious look at him.
'I know I am,' he responded loftily.
'lut if I am a century in advance of the
ar,e, I am not to blame for it. My theories
will in time be accepted as immutable laws.
But benefactors of the race seldom live to
see the fruits of their work. I am content ;
I can endure the persecutions I have been
subjected to. I do not murmur. 'What
ever is, is right.' '
'And ou the other hand,' I said lightly,
scarcely knowing whether he meaut to be
factious or not, ' 'whatever is not is wrong,'
I suppose.'
'Certainly you have hit it,' he replied,
gravely.
I began, to suspect that my fellow travel
er was not exactly what is termed 'sound
in the upjer story.' A searching glance
into his face showed that he was in earnest,
and his eyes began to glitter with excite
ment. If he was a monomaniac I thought
it best not to do anything to arouse him on
his particular hobby, and bo I endeavored
to let the subject of perpetual motion drop,
but he was bent ou pursuing it.
'This perpetual motiou problem,' he re
sumed, 'has, I know, received rediculc at
the hands of many ; but it is, nevertheless,
a fact an existence, that has as yet beeu
undeveloped. And, sir' be spoke la a
low, mysterious tone 'it has been reserved
for me to astound the world by making the
principle apparent and useful.'
'Possible !'
'Not only possible.bul true. I see you are
incredulous, but I do not blame you. You
look like a man of intelligence in fact,
there is something in your eye that leads
me to believe you are the persou I have
been looking for so long.'
'Oh, no 'I began.
'Don't be modest about it, sir. Ifitisan
unlooked-for honor it is also destiny, and
destiny cannot be resisted. The con
viction grows upon me every moment
that you are the man.'
'But I know nothing of the subject. 1
have never looked into it. I could not even
ix
give you the name of a single one of the
many who have failed, after years of labor
and lives of study to discover the secret.'
'So much the belter for that, sir. You
are not burdened with prejudices nor laden
with arguments against it. You are open
to conviction, and arc not so steeped in
bigotry that you would deny what might
be plainly proved to you. Aral right !'
'I don't know but you are,' I laughed
'Of course 1 am.'
i wisn,' lie adueti, lowering Ins voice
almost to a whisper, 'that I could prevail
on you to accompany me to-night to my
workshop, rrhere I have, after arduous
toil and intense mental labor, accomplished
the long looked for result. Accomplished
it, I say ; It is true there is one thing lack
ing, but ouly one, and when this single
want is supplied the consummation will he
shown to the world as the grandest achieve
ment of the age !'
'You may be assured,' I replied, 'that I
feel deeply interested in your invention'
'Yes,' he interrupted, with a nod of ap
probation.
But I cannot go with you to-night
Some other time perhaps'
we may never meet again, ana your
chance for a share in the honor of the thing
may be lost.'
'Oh, I claim no share of the honor. Wait
until the one thing lacking is supplied, and
then take all the credit and profit to your
self.'
'Aye, the one thing lacking ; there's the
rub. It is something very difficult to
secure.'
'May I ask what it is ?'
'I would be a fool to tell you, aud thus
reveal a secret that would enable others to
supplaut roc. But I might da it if you
would manifest confidence and interest
enough to go with me and witness the in
vention. Then you would comprehend
my want and perhaps be willing to supply
it.'
'No, no,' I rejoined hastily4 1 credit my
self with no such capability. You must
seek assistance elsewhere. I have no at
tention to spare from my business now.'
I was growing somewhat uneasy at my
companions strange talk and pertinacity,
and wished to rid himself of him. To have
a monomaniac tackle himself to you is by
no means a comfortable situation, and I
determined to repel, if possible, auy further
advances from him.
He sighed at my last words, and said re
signedly : 'Well, I will not press you.
You are cruelly indifferent, -though in re
gard to a matter of such vital importance.
It is so with them all.'
After this he relapsed into silence,, but
seemed ill at ease, looking hither aud
thither, aud frequently half rising in his
seat.
Finally, as an excuse lu leave his pre
sence, 1 said 1 believe 1 would take a little
fresh air, and stepped out on the platform
of the car. This proved to be a most un-
tortunate move, lue train was moving
rapidly, and yielding to the fascination of
gazing at the swiftly shifting scenery, illu
mined by the pale beams of the moon ; I
lit a cigar and remained in position for
some time.
Suddenly I became aware that somebody
was standing behind me. I turned and
beheld, with some consternation, my per
petual motion friend. lie must have open
ed and closed the car door very silently, for
I had uot heard his approach.
'I thought I would take the fresh air
too.' he said, with a peculiar smile. 'I can
circumvent anybody who stands in my
way ; yes anybody no matter who !' This
was with considerable vehemence. Then,
with an air of suavity, he remarked.
'There is somethiug very exhilarating in
standing here io the breeze, in listening to
the rumbling of the noisy wheels, almost,
under one's feet, and gazing at the Hying
landscape and moving lights in the distant
houses. Do you not think so.'
I replied that I did. He came closer and
bent over me, his strange black eyes glit
tering in the mooulight. My position was
anything but a comfortable one. I was ou
one of the steps, and he immediately above
me, so that I could not ascend to the car
door without requesting intu to move.
This I did not wish to do abruptly, for if
he was of unsound mind, auy appearance
of uueasiuess on my part might cause him
to indulge in some violeut freak. 1 there
fore feigned to welcome his preseuce,
though in fact I heartily wished myself
back iu the car.
He drew closer to me, and said :
'I have concluded to give you a descrip
tion of my perpetual motion machine, for
somehow I have taken a siugular fancy to
you, and believe I cau trust you.'
'Don't be too sure of that,' I rejoined,
jocosely ; 'I may prove a wolf in sheep's
I clothing, and betray your confidence.'
'I am not afraid,' he replied ; I am too
good a physiognomist to be thus imposed
upon. But we trifle. To come at once to
the point, my workshop is not a great dis
tance from here. A road on the outskirts
of the next station leads to it. As soon as
the train arrives within a mile of its stop
ping place I shall jump off and repair
directly to the spot. I have already lust
much time by an unavoidable absence and
must make all haste to resume my task.'
'You would not jump off while the train
is in motion ?'
'Yes ; there is no danger.'
'Pardon me ; the practice is a very dan
gerous one, and has frequently resulted in
loss of life.'
'Do not contradict me I I shall jump off,
and so must you !'
'I shall not,' I replied ; 'and I beg of you
uot to risk your own life.'
Bah! It's no risk at all, I tell you. I'd
willingly try it now, fast as we're going !'
1 did not reply to his last remark, but
started to rise, saying : 'I believe I will go
iu the car again.'
But a hand was laid heavily on my
shouidcr with a nervous strength, against
which resistance would have been futile.
My strange acquaintance said :
'No you don't I'm not through with
you )et.'
'Let me pass !' I exclaimed angrily.
'I shall not ! you are the man'
'I shall call on the brakeman the next
time he steps out. Yon are taking an un
warrantable liberty.'
'Ifyousay a word to the brakeman I
will push you off.'
'Come this is no time or place for jest
ing. I wish to enter the car.'
'And I wish you to remain here. As for
jesting, nothing was ever further from my
thought.'
1 was now fairly alarmed. The man
was undoubtedly a lunatic. And he had
me at an advantage, for, in our relative
positions, he could easily launch me into
eternity by an energetic push. I saw that
the assumption of defiance was of no avail,
and abaudoned it at once for fear of pro
voking mm to an immediate fulfilment of
of his threat. lie still retained his hold on
my shouM.T with utirejaxed vigor.
'Oh, well,' 'I'm not particular. But
please finish your business with me, and
then allow me to return.'
'My business with you cannot be finished
here,' he said gravely. 'I was about to re
peat that you are the man destined to as
sist me in the great consummation of my
mc-work. Ana 1 must not lose siht of
you, nor permit you to escape. I remark
ed, as you, will recollect that only one thing
was needlul to complete my invention. I
will now tell you what it is. To begin with,
my perpetual motion machine is apparent
ly nothing more nor less than an ordinary
looking wheel. But the hub and other
portious of it are hollow, and herein lies
the secret. The wheel is filled with a fluid
so closely resembling blood that nothing
but the most skilful and exhaustive chemi
cal tests can descry any difference. This
fluid circulates through the wheel in such
a manner as to keep it revolved for a long
time through the agency of momentum and
gravity ; but at the end of a certain period
ne revolutions slacken, and finally stop
altogether.
'Now, all that is necessary to keep it go
ing perpetually is a warm. Ucing human
heart within the hollow i6.
'Horrible ! I exclaimed, with a shudder
for he hissed his words out sharply and ea
gerly. 'But in what way can I supply
such a want ?'
Is it difficult to imagine :" He stared
down upon me with deadly purpose gleam
ing irom nis eyes, jv irigntiul suspicion
dawned upou me. 'Can it be possible'
1 es, yes I' he interrupted. 'You divine
my purpose readily. I want to cut your
heart out, and while it is still throbbing.
seize it and thrust in the hollow hub of the
wheel !'
But that would be murder,' I exclaimed
'cold blooded, premeditated murder.'
'There, again, is where you jump at con
clusions,' he said with an air of bland su
periority. 'There would be no murder
about it. I should replace vour heart in
tanlly with one taken from a living sheep
and so quickly and skillfully would I per
form the operation that you would lose less
than a pint of blood.
'But you would not do this without my
consent?'
With your consent if possible ; without
it if necessary.'
I offer no apology for being alarmed for
arguing with him seriously, I was in his
power. He eyed me vigilantly, and levity
or defiance on my part would probably have
exasperated his poor disordered brain,
made a suggestion :
Why not place the sheep's heart iu the
hub ? Would not that do as well ?
'No ; it must be a human heart Brutes
have instinct, as you know, but human br
ings only have reason and creative desires.
The motive principle which we call miud
permeates the blood and endues the hu
man heart with a certain propelling energy
that is necessary for my purpose. Do you
know' he lowered his voice to a solemn
whisper 'that I sometimes think my ma
chine will possess conscience and will ?
Does it not look reasonable ? But of course
that is only a matter of conjecture as yet
There will be time enough to consider it
when the first object is accomplished.'
'There was no disguising the fact that
some desperate resort some stroke of stra
tegy was necessary to defeat my dement
ed companion. His whole manner pro
claimed that he was terribly iu earnest,and
the gleam of his eyes revealed unmistaka
bly that he would execute immediate ven
geance should I attempt to force my way
into the car or summon assistance. Of
course he was incapable of considering the
cousequences to himself. I endeavored in
vain to hit upon some plan to outwit him
or divert his mind from its purpose. We
were both silent for a short time, when
suddenly an idea struck me. Said I :
'Why uot have your own heart cut out
iustead of mine and placed iu the wheel
Its supply of nerve power must be much
greater, and all its energies tend in the de
sired direction. Surely it would be much
more effective for your purpose than niiue.'
'Yes, you are right,' he conceded ; 'but
there are difficulties in the way. First, it
would be almost impossible to find a skilled
surgeon willing to perform the operation.
Aud again, 1 was once betrayed sy one
who made the same proposition that
you have. I lay down with my breast
bared, ready for him to remove my heart,
when he suddenly slipped a pair of hand
cuffs on my wrists and bound my legs to
gether, lie then carried me off, and from
him and his hirelings I suffered various in
dignities. However, that is neither here
nor there. I am out of his clutches now,
and am not to be imposed upon again in
the same way. Pardon me for doubting
your sincerity, but I have learned to be on
my guard. No, you must be the victim
this time, and 1 the operator. Ah I we
are almost there. I think it best that we
jump ou about a none tins siue or me sta
tion, as it is necessary that our operations
be carried on secretly. About sixty rods
further on vousee a large haystack close
bv the side of the road. Just this side of
it we will make the leap, and then we will
have a walk of three or four miles across
the country.'
'I tell you I do not wish to jump off.
Wait till we get to the station and I will
walk back with you.'
'No ; there are spies there whom I wish
to avoid. Get ready.'
Wait !' You jump off, and I will ride
on and walk back to join you.'
No ; that would be wasting time, and
we've none to lose. Are you ready ? We
are almost there !'
I made no reply, but turned suddenly
and endeavored to grasp one of his legs and
throw him down. But he was too quick
for me. lie seized me by the collar, lifted
me up with apparent ease, and then clasp
ed me around the body, firmly holding
both of my arms to my sides. His strength
was prodigeous.
The engine whistled before the train be
gan to slacken its speed. A breakeman
came out of the car. I shouted for help.
But my captor made the leap, carrying
me with him. There was a violent con
cussion a fearful rebound, and then unut
terable confusion. Was I hurt ? Was I
killed ? Was the awful tumult in ray brain
caused by the flight of the spirit from the
body ? How long would the struggle last?
What would I see next ?
These, and a flood of other wild question
ings darted through my brain with incon
ceivable rapidity, then a swift numbness
settled upon me, and all became blank.
I awoke and heard low spoken words.
After an instant's effort I recollected eve
rything. Two men were seated near me.
I was lying on a couch, and could see faces
peering iu at a window and hear the hum
of voices outside.
As I opened my eyes two men arose and
regarded me intently. I concluded that
they were physicians.
'Any bones broken ? I asked.
'No,' one of them replied.
'Any other injuries ?
'A few braises.'
Shall I try to arise ?'
'Not just yet'
'Here, take this,' said the other doctor,
extending a glass of wine.
I drank it and sat up, 'Beyond a slight
dizziness I experienced no uncomfortable
feeling. I expressed the opinion that I was
all right, in which the doctors were dis
posed to concur.
'How about the other one ?' I asked.
'Was he a friend of yours ?'
'No, not even an acquaintance.'
'How did you happen to be with him ?'
I related the matter briefly, hud then re
peated my inquiry.
'Well, he's dead.'
'Poor fellow !' I exclaimed. He most
have been crazy.'
Yes, be escaped from Dr. X-'s asylum
about eight hours ago. A telegram was
received here describing him, and officers
were waiting to search the train. The
brakeman saw him make the leap with you
in his arms, and the train was stopped.
You were picked up, and have been here
about half an hour.'
'How comes it that he was killed, while
I got off so easy?'
'He struck the ground first, and broke
the violence of your fall. You rebounded
against, a haystack, and were only bruised
a little.'
'Oh, yes I remember the haystack was
there. Poor fellow I He must have been
shattered from head to foot'
'Yes. There are not many whole bones
in his body.'
It turned out that my crazy companion
was a hopeless lunatic. I learned some
thing of his history. Perpetual motion was
his hobby, and for years he had been bent
on carrying out the scheme he had unfold
ed to me. He possessed fine natural abili
ties, and in early life bad given promise ot
a brilliant career. But the taint of insanity
was in his blood, and took the direction
that has been indicated. His madness was
his own destruction. As for me, although
it is not within the bounds of probability
that I will ever again meet with even a re
motely similar adventure, I have ever since
made it a point, to scrutinize critically the
faces of travellers who tend to sociability or
communicativeness. Do you wonder at it 7-
