TAKE PAUTICULAl. XOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all thot-e who have injurrj themselves by improper indulgence and solitary habits, v liieh ruin both body and niiiul. uulittiui: them for either bu-iiie-s, stud, society or mar riage. 'i'ni;s:: are s n.e of the f id ai.d iiiciauch.i'y effe-ts produced by early habiis cif youth, viz: Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains 1.1 tlie Back and Head, Dimness of SiL'ht, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy, Xenons Irritability, Derangement, of Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con eumption, fcc. Mestii.lt The fearful effects on the mind arc 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, V.c., are sonic of the -vils produced. Thoi'Sands of persons of all aires can now judge what is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous and emaciated, having a singular appearance ubout the eyes, cough and symptoms ol consump tion. YOUXrt MEN Who Lave injured th in selves by a certain prac tice indulged In when alone, a habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at school, the effects of which arc nightly felt, even when asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impos sible, and destroys both mini and body, should apply immediately. What a pity that a young man, the hoieof his country, the darling f bis parents, should be snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by tlie consequence of deviating from the path of nature and indulging In a certain secret habit. Such rcrsons m T before contcmidatiug MAKKIAGE. reflect that a sound mind and body are the most ncoessarv requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind Leeouies shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly reflection, that the happiness of unother becomes blirnted 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 happens that an ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noetural pains in the head and limbs, dimness of t-ight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the palaU of the mou'.h 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 Country from whence no traveller returns." tt t. o nw.l,mchnlr fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through falling into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PltE- i TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi- j sou, Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, and j incapable of curing, keep the uuhappv sullerer j month after month taking their noxious or in- j jurious compounds, and instead of being restored : to a reuew al of Life Yigor and Happiness, in rtes- j pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over his falling lisapointmcnt. j To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him- j self to prebcrve the most Inviolable Secrecy, an 1 j from his extensive practice and observat ions in j the great Hospitals of Europe, aud the lir-t ii: j this country, viz : England, France, Philadelphia , and elsewhere, is enabled to tiller the most eer- tain, speedy and ctreetual remedy in tlie world ! for all diseases of imprudence.

I wonder why this tvorlips good things Should fall Iu such unequal shares ; Why some should taste of all the joys, And others only feel the cares ! I wonder why the sunshine bright Should fall ia paths some people tread, While others shiver in the shade Of clouds that (rather overhead ! I wonder why the trees that hang So full of IhscIous fruit should grow Only where some may reach and cat, While others faint and thir6ty go ! Why should sweet flowers bloom for some, For others only thorns be found And some grow rich on fruitful earth, While otters till but barren ground ? I wonder why the hearts of some O'crilow with joy and happiness, While others go on their lone way Unblessed with aught of teuderncss ? I wonder why the eyes of some Should ne'er be moisteucd with a tear, While others weep from morn till night, Their hearts so crushed with sorrow here? Ah, well ; wc may not know indeed, The whys, the wherefores of each life ! But this we know there's One who sees And watches us through joy and strife. Each lile its mission here fulfills, And only He may know tho end, And loving Him we may be strong, Tho' storm or sunshine He may send. M:tlr; 1TT1 ,4'Llfr'rlr.v; Bli.I. AXD THE WIDOW. 'Wife,' said Ed. Wilbur one morning as he sat stirring his coflce with one hand and holding a plum cake on his knee with the other, and looking across the table into the bright eyes of his neat little wife, 'wouldn't it be a good joke to get Bachelor Bill Smi ley to take Widow Watsou to Robinson's show next week V 'You can't do it, Ed. ; he won't ask her, he's so awlul shy. Why he came by here the other morning, when I was hanging out some clothes, and he looked over the fence and spoke, but when I shook out a night gown he blushed like a girl and went away.' '1 think I can manage it,' said Ed.; 'but I'll have to lie just a little. But then it wouldu't be much harm under circum stance?, for I know she l;kc3 him and he don't dislike her ; but, as you say, he's shy. 'I'll just go over to his place to borrow some bags of him, and if I don't bag him before I come back, don't kiss me for a week, Xelly.' So saying Ed. started, and while he is mowing the fields wc take a look at Bill Smiley. He was rather a goodlooking fel low, though his hair and whiskers showed some gray hairs, and he had got in a set of artificial teeth. But every one said he was a good soul and so he was. He had ns good a hundred-acre farm as any in Norwich, with a new house and everything comfortable, and if he wanted a wife, many a girl would have jumped at the chance like a rooster at a grasshopper. Bill was so bashful always was and when Susan Berrybottle, that he was sweet on (though he never said 'boo' to her), got married to old WaLsnn he just drew his head like a mud turtle, into his shell, and there was nogettin5 him out again, though it had been noticed that since Susan had Decoiuc a widow he had paid more attention to his clothes and had been very regular in his attendance at the church that the fair widow attended. 'But here comes Ed. Wilbur.' 'Good morning, Mr. Smiley !' 'Good morning, Mr. Wilbur. What's the news your way ?' 'Oh, nothing particular, that I know of,' said Ed., 'only Robinson's show that every body and his girl is going to. I was over to old Sackridcr's last night, and I sec his son Son Gus has got a new buggy and was scrubbing up his harness, and he's got that white faced colt of his slick as a seal. I understand he thinks of taking the Widow Watson to the show. He's been hanging round a deal of late, but I'd just like to cut him out I would. Susan is a nice little woman, aud deserves a better mau than that young pup of a fellow, though I wouldn't blame her much either if she takes him, for she must be dreadful lonesome, aud then she has to let her farm out on shares and it isn't half worked, and nooue else seems to have spunk enough to speak up to her. By jingo ! If I were a single man I'd show him a trick or two.' So saying, Ed. borrowed some bags aud started around the corner of the barn, where he had left Bill sweeping, and put his ear to a knot hole and listcued, knowing that the bachelor tiad a habit of talking to himself when anything worried him. 'Confound that young Bagrider !' said Bill, 'what business has he, then, I'd like to kuow ? Got a new buggy, has he ? Well, so have I, and a uew harness, too ; and his horse can't come in sight of mine ; and I declare I've half a mind to Yes I will ! I'll go this very night and ask to go to tlie show with me. I'll show Ed. Wil bur that I ain't such a calf as he thinks I am', if I did let old Watson get the start of me in the first place !' Ed. could scarce help laughing outright, but he hastily hitched the bags ou his shoulder, and with a low chuckle at his success, started home to tell the news to Nelly ; and about five o'clock that evening they saw Bill go by with his horse and buggy on his way to the Widow's. He jogged along quietly thiuking of the old singing school days aud what a pretty girl Susan was then and wandering in wardly if he would have more courage now to talk up to her, until at a distance of about a mile from her house ho came to a bridge over a creek and it so happened that just as he reached the middle of the bridge he gave a tremendous sneeze, and blew his teeth out of his mouth, and clear over the dashboard, striking on tho planks they rolled over the side and dropped into four feet of water. Words cannot do justice to poor Bill, or paint the expression of his face as he sat there completely dumbfounded at this startling piece of ill luck. After a while he stepped out of tho buggy, itnd getting on his hands aud knees looked over into the water. 'Yes, there they were,' at the bottom, with a crowd of little fishes rub bing their noses against them, and Bill wished to goodness that his nose was as close for one second. His beautiful teeth that had cost him so much, and the show coming on and no time to get another set and the widow and young Sackrider. Well, he must try and get them somehow and no time to lose for some one might come along and ask him what he was fool- ins around there for. He had no notion of spoiling his good clothes by wading in with them on, and besides, if he did that he could not go to the widow's that night, so he took a look up and down the road to see that no one was in sight, and quickly undressed himself, laying his clothes in the buggy to keep them clean. Then ho ran around to the bank and waded into the al most icy cold water ; but his teeth did not chatter in his head, he only wished they could. Quietly he waded long so as not to stir up the mud, and when he get to the r'v.ht spot he dropped under water and came up with the teeth iu his hand, and replaced them in his mouth. But hark ! What noise is that ? A wagon ! and a little dog barking with all his might, and his horse is starting. 'Whoa ! Whoa !' said Bill, as he splashed and floundered out through mud and water. 'Confound the horse. Whoa ! Whoa I Stop, you brute, stop I' But stop he would not, but went off at a spanking pace with the unfortunate bachelor after him and the little dog yelping after the bachelor. Bill was certainly in a capital running costume, but though he strained every nerve he could not touch the buggy or reach the lines that were draggling on the ground. After a while his plug hat shook off the scat and the hind wheel went over it mak ing it as flat as a pancake. Bill snatched it as he ran, after jamming his fist into it, stuck it, all dusty and dimpled, on his head. And now he saw the widow's house up the hill, and what, oh what would he do! Then his coat fell out and he slipped it on, and then making a desperate spurt he clutched the back of the seat rnd scrambled in, and pulling the buffalo robe over his legs, stuffed the other things beneath. Now, the horse happened to be one that he got from Squire Moore, and he got it from the widow, and he took it into his head to stop at her gate, which Bill had no power to prevent, as he had not possession of the reins ; besides he was too busy but touing his coat up to his chin to think of doing much else. The widow heard the rattle of the wheels and looked out, and seeing that it was Mr. Sraily, and that he did not offer to get out, she went to the gate to see what he wanted, and there she 6tood chatting, with her white arms on the top of the gate, and her smiling face turned right toward him, while the cold chills ran down his shirtless back clear to his bare feet beneath the buffalo robe, and the water from his hair and the dust from his hat had combined to make some nice little streams of mud that came trickling down his face. She asked him to come in. Xo, ho was in a hurry, he said. Sail he did not offer to go. Still he did not like to ask her to pick up his reins for him because he did not know what excuse to make for not do ing it himself. Then he looked down the road behind him and saw a white-faced horse coming, and, at once surmising that it was that Gus Sackrider coming, he re solved to or die, and hurriedly told his errand. The widow would be delighted to go, of course she would. But wouldn't he come in. No', he was iu a hurry, he said, had to go on to Mr. Green's place. 'Oh,' said the widow, 'you're going to Mr. Green's are you ? Why, I was just going there myself to get one of the girls to neip me quilt some. Just wait a second while I get my bonnet and shawl, and I'll ride with you.' And away she skipped. 'Thunder and lightning I' said Bill, 'what a scrape !' and he hastily clutched his pants between his feet, and was prepar ing to wriggle into them, when a light wagon, drawn by a white faced horse driven by a boy, came along and stopped beside him. The boy held up a pair of boots in one hand and a pair of socks in the other, and just as the widow reached the gate again, he said : 'Here's your boots aud socks, Mr. Smi ley, that you left on the bridge when you were swimming.' 'You're mistaken,' said bill, 'they're not mine.' 'Why,' said the boy, 'ain't you the man that had the race after the horse just now ?' 'No, sir, I am not ! You had better go on about your business.' Bill sighed at the loss of his Sunday boots, and turning to the widow, said : 'Just pick up the lines, will you, please ; this brute of a horse is forever switching them out of my hands.' The widow com plied, and then he pulled one corner of the robe cautiously down, and she got in. 'What a lovely evening,' said she, 'and so warm, I don't think we need the robe over us, do we ?' (You see, she had on a nice dress and a pair of new gaiters, and she wanted to show them.) 'Oh, my !' said Bill, earnestly, 'you'll find it chilly ridiug, aud I wouldn't have you catch cold for the world.' She seemed pleased at his tender care for her health, and contented herself with sticking one of her little feet out, with a long silk necktie over tbe end of it. 'What is this, Mr. Smiley ? a necktie ?' Vcs, I bought it the other day, and I must have left it in the buggy. Never mind it.' 'But,' she said, 'it was so careless,' and stooping over picked it up and made a mo tion to stuff it between them. Bill felt her hand going down, and mak ing a dive after it clutched it in his and held it hard and fast. Then they went on quite a distance, he holding her soft little hand in his and won dering what he should do when they got to Green's, and she wondering he did not say something nice to her as well as to squeeze her hand, and why his coat was buttoned up so tightly on such a warm evening, and what made his face and hat so dirty, until as they were going down a little hill one of the traces come unhitched and they had to stop. 'O murder !' said Bill, what next 1' 'What ii the matter, Mr. Smiley ?' said the widow, with a start that came near jerking the robe off his knee. 'One of the traces is off,' said he. 'Well, why don't you get out and put it on?' 'I can't,' said Bill ; 'I've got that is, I haven't got oh, dear, I'm so sick. What shall I do ?' 'Why, Wi'.lie,' said she tenderly, 'what is the matter, do tell me ?' and she gave his hand a little squeeze, and looking into his pale and troubled face, she thought he was going to faint ; so she got out her smelling-bottle with her left hand, and pull ing the stopper out with her teeth she stuck it to his nose. Bill was just taking in breath for a mighty sigh, and the pungent odor made him throw back his head to far that he lost his balance and went over the low backed buggy. The little woman gave a little scream as his big bare feet flew by her head ; and covering her face with her hands gave way to tears or smiles it was hard to tell which. Bill was 'right side up' in a minute, and was Ieaniug over the back of the seat humbly apologizing and explain ing, when Ed. Wilbur and his wife and baby drove up behind and stopped. Poor Bill felt that he would rather have beeu shot than have Ed. Wilbur catch him in such a scrape, but there was no help for it now, so he called Ed. to him and whisper ed in his ear. Ed. was iike to burst with suppressed laughter, but he beckoned to his wife to drive up, and after saying some thing to her, he helped the widow out of Bill's buggy into his, and the two women went on leaving the men behind. Bill lost no time in arranging his toilet as well as he could, and then with great presuasion Ed. got him to go home with him, and hunting up slippers and socks and getting him washed and combed, had him quite presentable when the ladies arrived. I need not tell how the story was all wormed out of bashful Bill, and how they all laughed as they sat around the tea-table that night, but will conclude by saying that they went to the show together, and Bill has no fear of Gus Sackrider now. This is the story about Bill aud the Wi dow as I had it from Ed. Wilbur, and if there is anything unsatisfactory about it, ask him. Gathering ia the Washing. What a frightful sensation that is when you have just got home of a cold Monday night, and pulled your boots off, to be told that the week's washing is out on the line and must be brought in. Now to do this of a dewy eve in the sum mer, with the delicate perfume of 3owers filling the air, and a brass band on the next street, is not exactly a hardship ; but to do it in the dead of winter, with a chilling breeze blowing, and the clothes as stiff as a rolling-pin, is something no man can contemplate without quaking. We don't quite understand how it is that a man invariably gets his boots off before the dread summons comes, but the rest of it is plain enough. There is a sort of rebellious feeling in his heart which prompts him to try to entangle his wife in an argument, and failing in this he snatches up the basket, and goes out in the yard with it, rapping it against tho chairs and knocking it, against the sides of the door with as much vigor as if it was not purely accidental. If tbe fond wife is anyway attentive she can hear his well known voice consigning vari ous objects to eternal suffering, long after he has disappeared. There is not the least levity in a line of frozen clothes. Every article is as frigid as the Cardiff giant, and the man who wrenches the pin off irnd then holds the basket in expectation of seeing the piece drop off the line of its own accord, is too pure and simple for this world. But our man isn't that nature. He catches bold of the garment with his chilled hands, and seeks to pull it off, but it doesn't come. Then he yanks it up wards and then sideways ; and when it comes off it maintains the shape it has been all the afternoon working into, which per mits it just as readily to enter the basket as to be shoved through t he key hole of a va lise. The first articles he doubles up with his hands, a fid there is a faint resemblance of carefulness in packing them away ; but after that he smashes them into the basket without any ceremony, and crowds them down with his foot. He uses the same care in taking down a fine cambric handkerchief that he does in capturing a sheet, and makes two handkerchiefs of every one. When he gets far from the basket he allows tbe arti cles to multiply to his arms, so as to save steps and when he gets his arms full of the awkward and miserable things, whose sharp, icy corners jab him in the neck and face, he comes to an article that refuse s to givo way on the end. He pulls and shakes desperately at it, howling and screaming in his rage, until he inadvcrtainly steps on the dragging end of a sheet, and then he comes down flat on the frozen snow. But he bounds up again, grating his teeth, and hastily depositing the bundle in the basket, darts back to the refractory member, and taking hold of it, fiercely tugs at it, while he fairly jumps up and down in the extremity of his anger and cold. Then it comes unexpectedly, and with it a part of the next article, and he goes over again this time on his back and with vio lence. With the clothes gathered, he takes the basket up in his livid hands, thus bring ing the top articles against his already frozen chin, aud thus tortured, propels his lifeless limbs into the house. She stands ready to tell him to close the door, and is thoughtful enough to ask him if it's cold work. But if he is a wise man he will make no answer. Ifheisawise man he will silently plant himself in front of the stove, and framing his frozen features into an im placable frown will preserve that exterior without the faintest modification until bed time. Danbury Xews. Sleep as Medicine. The cry for rest has always been louder than the cry for food, not that it is more important, but it is often harder to get. The best rest comes from a sound sleep. Of two men, or wo men, otherwise equal, the one who sleeps the best will be the most moral, healthy and efficient. Sleep will do much to cure irritability of temper, peevishness, uneasi ness. It will restore to visor an over worked brain ; it will build up and make strong a weary body ; it will relieve the languor and prostration felt by consump tives , it will cure hypochondria ; it will cure heartache ; it will cure neuralgia ; it will cure a broken spirit ; it will cure sor row. Indeed, we might make a long list of nervous maladies that sleep will cure. The cure of sleeplessness requires a clean good bed, sufficient exercise to produce weariness, pleasant occupation, good air, and not too warm a room, freedom from too much care, a clean stomach, a clear conscience, and a void of stimulants and narcotics. For those who are overworked, haggard, nervous, who pass sleepless nights, we commend tho adoption of such habits as shall secure sleep, otherwise life will be short ; and what there is of it sadly imperfect. An Incident with a Moral. Some years ago, when defalcations of bank offi cers were not so frequently made public as at present, a young gentleman was invited temporarily to fill the place of an abscond ing teller of a prominent bank, who had neglected to square np his accounts before leaving. One day not long after a check for a large amount, signed by the president of the bank, was presented at the counter by one of his clerks. The president had no such amount on deposit, and the clerk was politely informed of the fact by the tel ler, and that, of course, the check could not be paid. 'But it must be,' said the clerk ; 'I canuot help that,' said the pro tempore officer, there are no funds to meet it.' 'I'll see if you won't pay it,' said the clerk, who at once carried the dishonored check to his principal, then in the direc tors' room. That official hastily appeared behind the counter, and in no gentlemanly manner demanded why his check had not been paid. 'No funds.' 'That makes no diffe rence. You know I could make it good in a few hours. You must pay it.' Sir, I shall pay no check unless the funds are here to back it,' said the teller, firmly. 'Then I will cash it myself,' said the pre sident proceeding as if to do so, from the piles of money before him. 'Sir,' said the teller, 'I am held responsible for that "mo ney, and if you touch a dollar you do it at your peril. But when my accounts for the day are made up and accepted, you may take the whole for all I care.'- The presi dent used some very strong language and retreated to the directors' room, and told how 'that impudent fellow' had refused to honor his check. A brief talk with his associates showed him the teller was right One of the di rectors who had funds loaned his check to cover tbe emergency, as the president's note for ten times the amount would have been promptly discounted if be had asked it ; and the teller supposing bis time was up, carefully prepared his accounts before the time for closing, saying he supposed he was to leave after what had passed. 'No, sir,' said the president, 'you are not going. You were right and I was wrong.' Moral. If all bank cashers and tellers could have the firmness and grit to refuse all overdrafts of their directors and other powerful customers, we should hear of but very few defalcations of those officers ; and if directors always conformed striictly to their own rules, and were modestly care ful in looking after the books of their offi cers, there would be little inducement, and less opportunity for such defalcations to continue for any series of years. Worces ter Spy. Effect of Temperature ox the Creaming of Mlik. The results of a series of experiments, carried on through several mcnths, by exposing different por tions of milk ia pans to temperatures of 40", 57, and 74, and determining the amount of fatty matter still present vari ous times of exposure, are embodied in a report by Schubert, from which it appears that the separation of fatty matter from the milk was most rapid at 4, but that it was more rapid at 74 than at 57, the separa tion being more complete at 40 in 18 hours than it was at 57 after 30 hours. After 24 hours at 40, only 0.296 per cent of the fatty matter remained in the milk, and while diminution of it continued up to 30 36 hours, it was so slight as to have no practical importance. Tests make on a large scale of Schwartz's method of immers ing the milk in deep vessels in ice-water, showed that it produced the largest yield of butter cream afforded more butter than sour cream. The method possesses the additional advantage that the milk never sours, and can be preserved several days in the ice-water without the least injury, and will bear transportation to a consider able distance before becoming warm enough to change. Cheese made from it is also much better made from sweet cream contains less milk-sugar and case in, according to the analyses made, it is consequently less liable to become rancid. Do Right Evert-WHERE.-Man's only safety is in doing right at all times and un der all circumstances. It is Satan's trick to make our doing right depend en times and seasons, on persons and places. He who does wrong because no one will know it will be terribly disappointed when his sins shall find him out. lie who ceases to be watchful and circumspect ia the pre sence of his friends, will find that those friends in whom he thus confided in arrun garded hour will betray his confidence and become his foes will rebuke what they be fore have iustified, and accuse him of the very acts which they aided and encouraged him in. , Do right every-where. There Is no safe ty in sin. Confide iu no one; presume upon nothing sufficiently, to do thai which is wrong. The watching eye of God is upon us, and when w depart from him he has ten thousand rods with which to chasten us and correct our faults. Trust not in friends ; trust not in secrecy ; trust not in lies do right every-wbere,and trust in God to "ive victory aud rest. Do not follow the multitude to do evil. Do not be a time server nor a tool. Stand boldly up for truth and righteousness, and everlive with a solemn consciousness of direct and per sonal responsibility to God. Make co compromise with error, sin, and wrong ; strike no bargains with Satan, every thing which he proposes is a trap, every thing that he suggests is a delusion and a snare. Man is weak, Satan wily only God is true. Trust in him ; do right evey-where, and he shall protect, and save you at the end. The directors of a school district ia our county recently discharged their teacher in the midst of his term, for repeating to one of his pupils the following verse : "Over thee hills a great way off The woodchuck died with whooping cough ; The prettiest girl I ever law Was sucking cider through a straw." And at the present term of the court a jury (?) in a suit by the teacher for his wages, decided that the directors were legally justified io so doing.
