JOHNSTON', jbwe who keep them triflinir month after month, -.Taking poiaonous nud injurious compounds, should apply immediately. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduated from one of the motst einiuctit Col'cges In the United States, and the greater part of whose ifc has been spent in the hospitals of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has effected some of the mot astoniHhing cures that were ever known ; many troubled with ring ing in the head and cars when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden suands, liashl'ulneKS, with frequent blushing, attcuded sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured immedintclv. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. Lildrcbecs all those who have injurrd themselves by improper indulgence and solitary habits, which ruiu both body and mind, untitling them for cither business, (tudy, society or mar riage. Thess are some of the sad aud melancholy effects produced by early habits of youth, viz : Weakness of the Back aud Limbs, Pains in the Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con sumption, &. Mistaixt The fearful effect on the mind are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con fusiou of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust, Lot of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are some of the evils produced. T Hot' sards of persons of all ages can now judge what is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, ncrvons and emaciated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump tion. TOUNG MEN Who have injured th mselves by certain prac 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, aud destroys both mind aud body, should apply Immediately. What a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the darling of his parents, should be natcbet from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature and indulging in a certain secret habit. Such persons vcst before contemtduting 31 ARM AGE. reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi . . uess. Indeed without these, the journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect Jiourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly reflection, that the happiness of another becomes blichted with our own. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often happen that an ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education aud respectability, can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol this horrid disease make their appearance, such as alee rated 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 bead, face and extremities, pro pressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall ia, and the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to bis dreadful suffering, by sending him to 44 that Undiscovered Country from whence no traveller returns." It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through fulling into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the nse of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, and incapable of coring, keep the unhappy snfferer month after month taking their noxious or in jurious compounds, and Instead of being restored to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, iu des pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over his galling disapointmcnU To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and from his extensive practice and observations iu ' the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first in this country, vix j England, France, Philadelphia and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world for all diseases of imprudence.

"O, promise me, love, by the tire-hale you'll watch, - And when mourners and stokers convene, Tett'wfir'see that they light me some solemn, "5 slow match, ' ' And warn them against kerosene.

Peter Penny wise was in deep grief. All the Lopes of a life-time were to be frus trated. The fond ambition he had ho long Durscsl, his pet scheme to make the name of Penny wise the greatest in the land, was no more. His only son, Launcclot, was to be married, and married to a plcbian to a girl who liad wealth but no name, no fami ly ancestry, or no coat-of-arms on the pa nel of her coach. Could human misery be greater ? Could the Osa of grief piled on the Pelion of dis appointment make a heavier load of sor row ? Xo. The cup of Penny wise was full to the brim and he must drain it to the lees, however bitter the draught. Such was the tenor of old Penny wisc'8 musings as he paced the velvet carpeted floor of his library on the evening when our story opens. A conversation nis son naa witn hi m as they sat together sipping their wine after dinner, had been tbe cause of this tu mult in the breast of Peter Pennywise. Launcelot was a weak-eyed and pink-skinned youth, with thin yellow hair, which he parted in the centre, and a little whisp of saffron whisker on each side of his face, the pulling of which with his nervous little hand constituted the principal employment of the scion oftbe house of Pennywise. 'Father,' said Launcelot, after gulping down two or three glasses of wine to give him courage. 'Father.' 'Well, my son, what do you want ?' ask ed the pompous head of the house. 'What do you think of marriage 1" 'What do I think of what ?' questioned the surprised Pennywise. 'Marriage,' replied Launcelot. 'Matri mony, you know. Two hearts with but a single thought, two souls that beat as one, and all that.' 'I think that every man should marry, and I would be glad to hear that you had fixed your affections on some lady with the proper qualifications,1 said Pennywise. 'What are the proper qualifications ?' in quired Launcelot 'Family,' replied his father, 'family whatever else you do, be sure never to dis grace the name of Pennywise by a plebian connection.' 'Why, is our family such a very great one ?' demanded tbe young man. A great one !' echoed Pennywise ; 'why, it's the greatest in the land. Study care fully the genealogical tree that hangs in the hall, which cost mc five thousand to have properly traced and you will see that the name of Pennywise was as well known as that of William at the time of the Norman conquest, and that the coat of arms is one of the most respectable and ancient that ever heraldry boasted of.' 'Well, of course that's all true, father ; but I've heard some of the fellows at the club say that grandfather was a pawn ' 'Your grandfather was a broker and banker as I myself am, and was fully aware of the responsibility of being worthy of his family,' said Mr. Pennywise, interrupting his son ; 'therefore he began my education by impressing the value of a family name upon my young mind, and so, when I bad grown older, and he intimated to me that I ought to marry the highest respectable Miss Poundfoolish, I went to that lady, proposed and was accepted. Thus I con solidated the two families of Pennywise and Poundfoolish, and you and your sisters are the result. But you asked my opinion of matrimony ; are you thinking of marry ing?' 'Ye-es Bir,' gasped Launcelot. 'And whom do you propose honoring with your name ?' 'Miss a Miss Petersham,' answered youthful Pennywise. 'Petersham Petersham ; I never heard of a Petersham. Who is she ?' demanded the gentleman with a darkening biow. 'She is very rich.' And Launce faltered. lliches are very well, but you do not need Ihem. Your mother left you all her fortune, and I shall leave you half of mine if you marry as I wish. Who is this this Petersham ? What does her father do ?' 'He keeps a large clothing establish ment." What! roared Pennywise. 'A tailor? It shall not be. The arms of Pennywise shall never be marred by a needle or dis figured by great heaven a goose 1 It shall never be never never I' 'It must be I' said Launcelot, going to the door, 'cause I've 'popped' and she's accepted me.' The old man mechanically arose and walked to his study, where he began pac ing the floor, as we found him at the com mencement of our story, until there came a rap at the door. The visitor proved to be the governess of the two Misses Pennywise aged twelve and the other fourteen whose disorderly conduct and wilful destruction of warerobe and text books occasioned many a visit to the library, after the dinner-hour, by the governess. She was a neat, pretty little body this governess, and had ofteu.attracted the no tice of the young bloods who came to visit Launcelot, but she paid not the slightest attention either to their compliments or glances, attending quietly to her pupils, and seeming wholly wrapped in their charge. In fact Charlie Gushington, who was falling in love with every girl he met, once observed of her to Launcelot : Launce, that governess gal ! what's her name ? Amy Dorr ? ain't got any heart. The only thing she could love would be more pupils or plenty of money.' 'Good evening, Miss Dorr,' said Penny wise, when Amy bad entered the library. What can I do for for you this evening ?' 'Excuse' me sir,' said Amy, hesitatingly. 'I wish to see you about my pupils, but I can see you are grieved and agitated, ind as I fancy I know the cause of your ag ta tlon, I will not annoy you with my common-place complaints.' 'You know the cause ?' gasped Penny wise. Yes, sir ; I have no wish to intrude my opinions or my knowledge, but the cause of your grief is, I imagine, of your son, and I think he is acting most foolishly.' 'You are right, Miss Dorr,' asserted the old gentleman 'you are right. He is act- in" most foolishlv most foolishlv.' ' 'Cannot you prevent it ? asked the go verness.' 'No; I am powerless powerless. He will wed the tailor's daughter, and dis grace the great, the aristocratic name of Pennywise.' There was a smile playing around the corners of Miss Dorr's mouth, and a sati rical twinkle in her eye, as Mr. Pennywise spoke of his aristocratic name. 'Can you not threaten to disinherit him?' she asked. 'No use no use,' groaned the disconso late Pennywise ; 'he has half a million lefc him by his mother.' 'A half a million !' cried Amy, and the smile and twinkle faded away leaving her face stern and calculating looking. 'Mr. Pennywise, this marriage would be scandalous. Listen ; I know Miss Peter sham very well, in fact she considers me her intimate friend ' 'My son's wife the Intimate friend of a governess,' sighed Pennywise regardless of the feelings of the girl before him. 'Yes,' replied Amy, not heeding the in sult ; 'but she is only a tailor's daughter.' Alas ! alas I too true, too true,' said the unfortunate Pennywise. 'Mr. Pennywise,' continued Amy, 'ySu are rich, very rich, and I am poor. You regard this marriage as a disgrace to your family. I think 1 cau prevent it. What will you give me if do ?' 'My dear Miss Dorr, cried old Penny wise, jumping up from his chair, 'if you can prevent my son from marying that tai lor's daughter I will bestow upon you ten thousand dollars.' "Tis a bargain,' said the governess. 'Please write a little agreement to this ef fect : That as soon as 'I give you proof that Miss Petersham is married to some one else than your son you will pay me the sum of ten thousand dollars.' 'Married to some one else than my son !' said Pennywise, as he was writing the agreement. 'Yes,' answered Amy, 'that is my mean ing ; I will make her marry a young man I have in my mind now.' 'But my son will not permit it ; he is fa scinated by this tailor's daughter.' 'I will sec that he permits it,' the gover ness said, taking the agreement Mr. Pen nywise had drawn up and signed. My duty is to prevent the marriage of Miss Petersham.' 'Yes,' said the old man, do that and I will bless you ;' and the interview ended. For the week immediately following the evening the foregoing conversation took place, Miss Amy, very much to their de light, absented herself entirely from her pupils ; and she might have been seen any afternoon walking arm in arm with the lovely Miss Petersham. During the walks, somehow, Mr. Char ley Gushington invariably met the two la dies and joined them in their walk nor did he seem to regard the meetings as at all unexpected. The fact was that the wily governess had introduced Mr. Gushington to Miss Petersham, and was, unknown to them fanning the flame that they declared was consuming both their young hearts. Three weeks had passed since the night Miss Amy had agreed to prevent the mar riage of young Pennywise with Miss Pctcr Bham, when one morning tbe governess presented herself to the clerks in the office of Mr. Pennywise, and asked to see that gentleman. She was ushered into a pri vate office where she found the aristocratic Pennywise very much surprised at his vi sitor. 'To what good fortune am I indebted for this visit?' he asked, wheeling around from his desk. To the best fortune,' answered the go verness. 'Please read this advertisement that 1 am going to insert in to-morrow morning'B papers,' and she handed him a slip of paper on which he read the follow ing: G usn ington-Petersii AM.-On the 17th inst, at Grace church, by the Rev. Jere miah Waller, D. D., S. T. D., Mr. Chas. Gushington to Emeline, eldest daughter of Jacob Petersham, Esq., all of this city. No cards. My dear Miss Dorr,' said Pennywise, jumping up from his chair, 'you have saved the family you have done wonders I owe you a debt of gratitude I can never pay. Well, here is a debt you owe me you can pay,' said Amy, producing the agree ment. I will thank you for ten thousand dollars in greenbacks. I don't want a check I want the money.' 'My dear Miss Dorr,' said the banker, 'if it took my last dollar I would not repudi ate your claim.' And, drawing a check for tbe amount, he called a messenger, and bade him go to the bank and get ten thousand dollar notes. After the messenger had departed on his errand, Pennywise turned to the governess and said : How did my- son bear the news that Miss Petersham was false to him ? Thank heaven, tuy family will not be disgraced.' 'When he first discovered that Miss P. was receiviug attentions from Mr. Gush ington, he threatened to commit suicide ; but I finally induced hitu to listen to rea son and he attended the ceremony last night.' But how did you effect this alteration in him ? You are a witch ; or I should say a good fairy. How did you do it ?' ' Will the boy be long at the bank ?' ask ed the governess. 'No, he is here now. I see you want your money before you give your informa tion ; quite right. Well there it is,' and he handed her the money. Miss Amy walked to the other end of the room, and placed the money safely in her bosom. Then turning to Mr. Pennywise she said : . 'Mr. Pennywise, you asked mc how I ob tained your son's consent to the marriage between Mr. Gushington and Miss Peter sham. - .. 'And saved my son from an alliance to a woman socially beneath him.' interrupted Mr. Pennywise. 'You marvel among wo men, will you tell me ?' I will.' 'How did you do it ?' 'I married him myself. Good morning, sir.' Siscrltancons. Why Do the Yonne; Rush to the Towns and Cities? How . to I'reveut it. Many newspapers, especially those of the cities, are always doing good work, the value of which can hardly be overestimated, in warning the youth of country homes of rushing to towns, and especially large cities, where they too often have to eke out a miserable existence, or suffer absolute want. By way of preventing a calamity, it is well to look at its cause. Now, what is the attraction to young men in tbe large cities ? They are simply dazzled and bewildered by what they see and hear. Dress is one of the first things that attracts and secures attention ; then comes all the fascination of places of amusement, and the possibility of great wealth, which so few, after all, win. These things contrasts strikingly with the life of many country homes, where young men and young women (who, till experience teaches them, can see only the bright side of city life) are mere drudges "hewers of wood and drawers of water." Yes, we say drudges, whose lives are no better than that of the poorest drayhorse.- Now, it won't do for Press and Pulpit to preach to such people that their condition will be injured by coming to tbe cities ; for in fact with some of them it is much im proved : yet, it is well known that the youth of the country have rnshed to the cities till various kinds of trades and pro fessions Beeni likely to be overcrowded, and hence come want, "poverty, hunger and dirt," suicide, and other crimes too horri ble to mention. Tbe reader may now na turally ask, What is the remedy? The answer is simple enough. Let home be made attractive by culture of. mind and heart, aa well as soiL Daily and steady toil, without any relaxation, breaks down body and mind. But it will be said we have to work like slaves to live. No doubt, many starting with little if any capital in a new country, have hard work and great priva tions to undergo, which unfit their minds for effort ; but there are the winter even ings, when the the farmer and his family surround their own fireside to cultivate the affections and improve the mind. Health, temperance and well directed in dustry, soon secure to even the poorest in our favored land, a comfortable compe tence. Then by degrees borne can be made beautiful by the proper management of a fruitful soil. It will yield not only what is necessary to sustain life comfortably, bot also pleasures to gratify the most gifted minds. They, of all others, who till the soil, come into closest relations with Na ture. All the sciences are more or less intimately connected with the soil. There is no lack of food for the mind or body. Thus, while we have not an enlightened cultivation of soil and mind, so long will the young men of the country flee from the music of nature to the cities' din, to drag out perhaps a miserable existence in the exacting toil of traders, who are but the agents of the tillers of the soil. Let us have enlightened agriculture, and a more equal distribution of wealth must neces sarily follow. The producer and the con sumer will then shake hands ; the farmer will wear as smooth a coat as the merchant, and be at least as well educated ; and, above all, bis relations will be directly with the Giver of all good, who never cheats his children ; thus his home will be enriched, and made happy and beautiful. If all this be true of those with little means, how much more quickly can it be reached by those who are better off I Many a hard-handed farmer has his land all paid for, plenty of money at interest, and yet not only denies his family, hut himself the necessaries of life. Suchpeop!e are not the benefactors of their race. It is they who drive the young men and mai dens to the cities ; who rob the soil of God's bouuty, taking all they can get, but put ting nothing back ; and who ring from their offspring their very heart's blood,and thus exile them from homes if such they can be called to whither they know not. While these hard-handed farmers squeeze out the life-blood of the young, and culti vate neither mind nor soil, sn long will the young flee from the homes of their fathers. Through this bright, good land the home of the weary and oppressed of all nations many people, especially in the Western and Northwestern States, have already not only the necessaries, but the luxuries of life. Few, if any, till the soil intelligently. For the most part the soil is robbed, hut a sad day of reckoning will come if this thing lasts. It has already come to Virginia, and it will come to her sister States, if the application of useful knowledge to agricul ture be neglected. - We look for better re sults. General education will settle tbe question ; and if the tillers of the ground will be true to it and themselves, ail that heart can wish will follow. The young will then stay at home, enjoying all the blessings that can come from a fruitful soil, MOST SINGULAR STORY. TWO RATTLESNAKES TAKEN FROM THE STOMACH OF A WOMAJf. A correspondent of the Morris town Oct zttte, writing from Murrysville, Cooke county, Tennessee, under date of June 30, gives the motsiugular snake story we have heard yet. - We clip tbe following : "A Mrs. Kennedy, it woman of about forty, the wife ot-an Irish laborer liviux off French Broud- street, has Tor several year suffered greatly' from ill health. Her symptoms and complaints were singular. She was afflicted with almost constant pains, so that she could seldom or never rest at night. She stated that she felt something running up and down in the abdomen, that she frequently experienced tbe creeping sensation which is called irri tability. She bad been' in the hospital here, and had been treated for various com plaints, but found no relief. As her un easiness and pains continued, so were tbe attempts to relieve her, but without suc cess. iNot long since Dr. remain uyies was called into requisition and took charge oftbe case. "About a week ago she became subject to uncontrollable uneasiness, and begged Dr. Gyles to perform an ope ration for her relief. This be was reluctant to do, think- . ing it would hazard her life ; but she persist ed in the request, and at last he yielded to her importunities, when, on Friday after noon last, assisted by Dr. James Davis, of this place, and Surgeon Wm. Allen, of Sweetwater, he proceeded to perform the operation. He first made an incision about ten inches long along the medial line of the abdomen. He found a tumor projecting largely, about twenty-six inches in diame ter and irregular form. He opened it and' found therein two rattlesnakes, one was thirty-six inches, and the other thirty-two and one-half inches in length. One of the snakes had five rattles and the other four rattles and a button. They bad yellow and black spots on them, with white bellies, They were quite lively, and would rattle and strike when disturbed. They were killed, and their skins and rattles are in possession of Colonel John Stephens. "The tumor being removed, Mrs. Kenne dy was instantly relieved, and now is doing well. Tbe doctor calls the soakes erotdlua horridus. Mrs. Kennedy says she swal lowed two small, soft white eggs that she found, several years ago, as she was walk ing out in a field near the Warm Springs, North Carolina. Having just come over V from Ireland, she was not acquainted with the bird eggs of America, and swallowed . these eggs supposing them to be partridge eggs." The Tyrtann y oftbe Kltehea aad the Laws onae utna. A lively lady essayist recently contri buted to one of our popular journals some considerations on the tyrannies of a" Repub lic, among which she instances that of. household labor towards employees, which -in some occult way she attributes as a fault , of republican institutions. She gives re markable instances of the manner in which -the mistress, so-called, is dragged in the dust of her conqueror's broom,' and mys teriously threatens a revolt of that typical worm which turns when too much trodden on. A revolt which would establish a set of machines of the useful kind which perform the household labors of Lord Lytton's , Coming Race,' is the only thing imagina ble to suit the case complained of ; but this curious idea that our political institutions are to blame for the short-comings and self assertions of our domestic ministers, is not confined to this one writer. They man age things better in Europe,' is a very fre quent cry, and we lately heard an accom plished lady gravely demand of a distin guished authority 'how long the law-makers of this people meant to stand idly by and see their wives and daughters crush ed by domestic tyranny.' No doubt the excellent people aforesaid would really be sorry to see in this country a chronic surplusage of labor which would force people to submissively accept and even eagerly seek the occupations most distate ful to them, because sharp need compels. yet we can see no other cure of this trouble which 'institutions' could effect. The tread-mill of house toil, unsweetened by re sponsibility and the scpse of ownership, seems to become evermore irksome and un.- attractive, and remonstrances and preach- , ments are vain to keep women, like men, from preferring the 'work from sqn to sun' to the woman's work that's never dona,' Everything points still increasing ur gency to that subdivision of labor which is our dream, when we talk of co-ope raiiva housekeeping ; when tbe bakery, the laun dry, the cuisine, and all, will each be a great industrial centre conducted with all mechanical regularity, and offering the game inducements to operatives that other workshops do.
