TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all thoi-e who have injurrd emselve8 by improper indulgence and solitary ibits. which ruin both body aud mind, unfitting cm for either business, study, society or timr gc. These arc some of the sad and melancholy ect produced by early habits of youth, viz: eakuess of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the tckaud Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus lar Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy, irvous Irritability, Derangcmeut of Digestive motions, General Debility, Symptoms of Cou mption, &.C. Mentally The fearful effects on the mind e much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con don of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil rebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust, vc of Solitude, Timidity, fcc., are some of the Us produced.

A'hat a pity that a yonng man, the hojeof his antry, the "darling f his parents, should be itched from all prospects and enjoyments of , by the consequence of deviating from the th of nature and Indulging in a certain secret hit. Such persons wcst before contemplating MARRIAGE, lect that a sound mind and body are the most essary requisites to promote connubial happi--s. Indeed without these, the journey through : becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect lrlv darkens to the view ; the mind becomes idowed with despair aud filled with the.melan ly reflection, that the happiness of another -nine blighted with ourown. A CERTAIN DISEASE. Vhen the misguided and imprudent votary of a sure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of painful disease, it too often happens that an timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, er him from applying to those who, from tcation and respectability, can aloue befriend a, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of s horrid disease make their appearance, such ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural ns in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, ifness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, tches on the head, face and extremities, pro rising with frightful rapidity, till at last the .ate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall and the victim of this awful disease becomes orrid object of commiseration, till death puts period to his dreadful suffering, by sending n to "that Undiscovered Country from whence traveller returns." .t is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE tims to this terrible disease, through falling o the bands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE '.XDEE8, who, by the use of that deadly Poi i, Mercury, tic, destroy the constitution, and apable of curing, keep the unhappv sufferer nth ftr month taking their noxious or iu- ious eomtKHinds. and instead of being restored i a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des- ! ir leave him with ruined Health to sigh ovr galling disapiointmcnt. To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him f to jircserve the most Inviolable becrccv, and j m his extensive practice aud observations iu atuu ; great Hospitals of Europe, aud the first ii: s country, viz : England, France, Philadelphia 1 elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most ccr ii. speedy and effectual remedy in the world nil diseases of imprudence.

'Are you star gazing ? asked Helen Deno, stepping out upon the verandah, wberu Tom Ford stood, staring abstracted ly at the cloudless evening sky. 'Onjy frying to devise some ne w method of shufttiDg otT the mortal coil,' Tom an swered laying lite unlighted segar on the railing beside him. j 'Have matters reached such a desjicrate condition with you ?' laughed his eompan- ion. 'I should never have suspected it.' j 'It is my hero, not niyelf, who is to be ; sent out of the world,' was the reply. 'Can j not you give me a hint ? Poison, con sumption, precipices, shipwreck, runaway horses. l?ah ! I have made use of tlieru j all till they have grown wearisomely com i tnon. I am tempted to advertise for a novel way of riding myself or other people me even at me risK oi.onuging a wnoie host of detectives down upon me.' 'Why not let the poor myth live !? ques- tinned Helen, smiling at the comical ex- pression of despair on the perplexed au thor's face. 'Impossible !' replied Tom. 'The lost heir has turned up, and is all ready to marry Lady Gwendoline, and so this hero assistant hero, rather, is in the way, and must be removed, even if I have to do it in a commonplace fashion. Youdo not know what a benevolent person I am, Miss Helen, nor how much I have done for the happi ness of my kind since tirst I commenced .scribbling. At the lowest estimate 1 have hunted out and returned to their sorrowing j parents fully three dozen heirs and heires i ses with aud without strawberry marks l and tattooed anchors on their arms. If it j were not for the base ingratitude of hu manity, my statue, arrayed in nondescript costume, and executed in the worst style of American art, would now adorn Central Park or Union Square. I would like to be a lost heir myself,' he went on, musingly, ; 'onlv to he it is necessary to have liquid blue eyes aud golden hair aud snowy brow; r-iveti locks and fathomless dark otbs and classic features, and not one of these attractions did unkind nature see fit to be stow upon me. I am homely not even picturesquely homely, at thai do you know i Miss Helen V 'Since you have made the assertion, I can not be impolite enough to contradict it,' she replied, gathering some of the crimsmi leaves from the Virginia and putting them into her belt creeper as she spoke. 'Give them to me please,' said Tom stretching out his hand. She shook her head and pointed to the vine. 'Por a momcnto of this evening,' he pleaded in a tone which was far from seuti mi'ntal. 'How many such momentoes have you already ?' questioned she, still keeping the leaves. A dead rose some other plaut, which now looks and smells decidedly hayey, a glove spni ted with lemonade and of no pos sible use to its rightful owner a slipper rosette, big and ugly as a mushroom, and a piece of pink ribbon much creased, which may, perhaps, have belonged to Miss Hal stead instead of you,' enumerated Tom. 'That is all, I assure you.' 'What are you going to do with them ?' Helen demanded, much inclined to laugh. 'Keep them to sigh over winter evenings when the fire gets low and my segar is smoked out,' Tom answered. 'One must have help to misery as well as to happi ness.' 'If that be so, here arc the leaves,' laying them in his hand. 'May they contribute their small share toward making you wretched, since it is for that you desire them.' A thousand thanks 1' he exclaimed, put ting the coveted possession into his pocket hook, whore the dead roe already repoed. j you a.. 8pi.se a mat. I such a way. Te, i that I despise the tvoniu. , pleasure in seeing him do it !' He tossed the segar away, and stione i.t. , and down the porch, which creaked alarm ! ing beneath his heavy tread. 'A pretty fellow I am to get into such a rage about nothing,' he said at last, paus ing beside Helen, who still leaned against the lattice-work. 'Forgive me will you not ? I will never behave so again.' 'I have nothing to forgive,' she replied, with a smile. 'I like to see you behave badly it amuses me, and I need to be amuse I.' 'Is it not a pity that a nun h so hamper ed by circumstances as to be unable to as sume a heroic attitude when he wishes V questioned Tom. seemingly quite tranquil once more. '1 do not care to be taller nor less clumsy ; I don't even wish to amend and revise my nose ; but I would like to perform some wonderful feat which would for ever exalt me in your eyes, and earn for me your eternal gratitude. I can think of scores snatching you from under the wheels of a locomotive ; swimming with you to shore from a sinking ship, while the waves were running mountain high ; or rescuing you from some desperado armed with numberless daggers and revolvers. How delightful it would lie to hear you sob out your thankfulness to your brave pre server, as Miss Alicia de Courcy does to Percy Fitzgerald in my last drama ! At preseut I amuse you am well nigh as in dispeusible to your comfort as a lap-dog ; compel you to be grateful, and I think you could hard'.' avoid loving me.' 'I should abhor you V returned Helen. 'I always dislike people to whom I am under obligations. When I am forced to be grateful to anybody, I feel as though the anybody had a string to your little ringer and could jerk in warningly at intervals to warn me of my duty.' 'On the whole, then,' said Tom. looking down at her small figure, 'you would prefer to recue me, aud listen to the sobbing as surances of my gratitude ; I will improvise some horrible danger forthwith plunge hcadformnst into it and allow you to take mo out, if you will be any more likely to care for me in consequence. Ijet me see we are going up the valley to-morrow ' 'Not we,' interrupted Helen. 'I must remain at home to entertain a visitor.' 'Do you expect the coming of that do mestic affliction, Miss Fletcher 'i Why not run away from her first thing in the morn ing ?' 'It is not. Miss Fletcher,' said Helen, hesitating over the words. 'It is Air. Hastings." 'Why did you not tell me a day sooner ?' asked Tom, iu a hard coustained tone. 'I did not know it till this evening,' she replied. 'The telegram came only an hour ago just after we had finished tea.' 'And you are glad ?' Tom questioned, looking it her with a keen ;l,mce. 'Yes, I suppose so ; it is my duty to be glad.' 'Tins is good-by, then,' said Tom. after some minutes of embarrassing silence. 'Shall I uot see you to-morrow ?' she asked, a little falter in her voice. ' Ko; I shall be off by sunrise for a least at day in the valley. I can take the evening train at March's Bridge it slake9 there, aud the conductor knows me and will not object. If Mr. Hastings is what he should be, you will not want me ; if he i3 not shake hands, Helen. Don't look out the window when I go away. I should only think of you as looking a little later for Mr. Hastings' coming.' Toor Tom,' said Helen to herself, a few minutes afterward, as she heard his room door close with emphasis. 'I wonder if Italph ever bangs the doors or gets into small rases ! He never lumbers, at any rate, and how the porch floor did squeak when Tom walked across it 1' 'I think I can get down there,' soloquiz cd Tom Ford, the next forenoon, poering over the rocky wall. At least it is worth my while to try it will save a mile of walking if I succeed.' Swinging himself over, he crept cautiously downward. TTalf 'ine'" ...... ticularly fine one, n., Hastings, balancing himsen of the bridge, and surveying the sceum, with a glance of calm disapproval. 'It is not even pretty,' Helen replied ; 'but I wauted to come.' She was looking very intently at the railroad track a plea sant object for contemplation, as any lover of beauty will admit. 'Supposes then, that we go home,' mildly suggested Mr. Hastings, offering her his arm. ' Wait a. rooraeut the train U coming,' answered she, as the shriek of the locomo tive was heard. The train came slacked almost to an absolute stoppage Helen's eyes watched it the while very eagerly but uo Tom took advantage of the delay to spring upou the platform. Had he chang ed his mind and returned to the farm house ? It was not likely ; in his present state of feeling he would not court a meet ing with Mr. Hastings. Helen felt she knew uot why a vague consciousness of anxiety. 'Ralph,' turning suddenly toward her lover, 'I want to go up into the valley it will not be dark for more than two hours yet ; will you go V ' Wait till to-morrow,' he answered,mind ful of his tight boots, and in no mood for rock-climbing. 'You are pale,IIelen yes, and actually shivering, too. This air is fe ver and agueish,' wrapping her shawl more closely about her as he spoke. 'Come, let us get home as soou as possible.' 'I will not ! I mean I can uot ! Helen replied, excitedly. 'You must go with me, Ralph ; I am afraid something has hap pened to T Mr. Ford.' 'Who is Mr. Ford ?' asked he, with a look which was by no means lover like. 'He is a gentlemau who has been board ing at Mrs. Kidder's this summer,' replied Helen, the color rushing over her face in spite of her efforts to appear indifferent. 'He was to return to the city this after noon, taking the train herp, and he has failed to do so, and' 'Can not a man change his mind if he sees tit V Mr. Hastings interrupted, half jestingly, half angrily. 'Don't be so fool ish ray darling,' he went on ; it is not very complitnentaty to me your fretting about this fellow the first evening of our meeting. We will go back now, aud if he is not at the house, somebody shall lie sent in search of him, I promise you.' j 'It may be too lute then' said Helen. I 'You must come with me, Ralph,' taking j his hand. J 'I will do nothing of the kind !' answer ed the irate lover ; and if you go it will be in disobedience to my express commands.' Mr. Hastings looked really imposing in his wrath. 'When was I ever known to obey you or any one less?' retorted Helen, with flashing eyes. 'I would go now if 'trying to say something tragic, but failing 'if I were certain that I should lose my way and be compelled to stay out all night in the cold. And shaking off his detaining grasp she was gone in a moment. 'I suppose that every woman tnti6t be either a simpleton or a vixen,' philosophi. cally observed Mr. Hastings, as he wended his solitary way homeward ; 'but such an exhibition of temper and wilfulness on He len's part was really very unpleasant.' The walk was a long one, and night was falling when Helen reached the entrance of the valley. She and Tom had explored it together frequently ; but now, in the sha dowy twilight, it looked so wild and for bidding, that she shrank back involuntari ly. Would it not be worse than folly to risk her life among its rocks and chasms, because of a mere nervous fancy. As she stood irresolute feeling her courage fast ebbing, a faint cry seemed to fall upon her ear. She listened eagerly. Did some one call 'Helen,' or was it only her imagina nation 1 'It was like Tom's voice,' she aid tn herself, with a shiver, 'only so fain 'Iiecauw m plied. 'But I think I do caiw she said coming to bis side to fractory handkerchief. 'I did uot w. but you know it is so natural to like peot whom you have compelled to feel grateful to you.' 'I know,' answered Tom, very well satis fied with the explanation. 'And, after all, Helen, circumstances which would not per mit me to be a hero allowed you to be a he roineit is really too bad.' 'You should be very thankful to circum stances,' laughed Helen, 'for if you had saved my life I would have been your mor tal enemy always ; and, until you tumbled over that precipice, I thought you rather an awkward person, and felt very well con tent to marry Mr. Hastings.' Aldiue for October. Thirty Years is a Cave. Iu the wilderness eight miles northwest of Ding man's Ferry,' Pike county. Pa., under neath a huge rock in a small cave, six by eight feet, has lived for upward of thirty years a human beiuj named Austin Shel don. He was born in Wales, and emigrated to this county about the year IS 10. When he landed iu New York he had a small sura of money, with which he came afoot to Pike county ami purchased a single acre of wild, uncultivated, scrub-oak land, situated in Lehman township, amid a dense and dismal forest, several miles from any-fcabi-tatiou. At the western end of this small strip of land is a small cave only about six by eight feet. In this cave, without any alterations or improvements, this hermit has for more than thirty years made his home. . The hermit is nearly seventy years of age. His face has not been shaved for forty years. The sides of his face, chin, and neck are covered with coarse gray hair, while his beard is several feet in length, and white as snow. He wears the same suit of clothes he wore twenty years ago, which are bo badly rent as to render it necccssary to fttsten them together by means of twisted hickory withes. He never works, and un less obliged to go to the-nearest store for ammunition, never leaves sight of his cave. His mode of living is peculiar. His diet consists principally of berries and fruit dur ing their season, while in the winter he sub sists on various kinds of wild game. His education was not neglected during his boy hood, for he is well read and remarkably intelligent. He is a firm believer in religion, and devotes most of his time reading the Bible and other sacred works. He is deaf, and has been so for several years, rendering it necessary to communicate with him by means of writing. He has the faculty of charming bi.ds, niauy of which he has se cured in this way and reared. He h is never used a lamp or candle in his cave. His bed is composed of straw scattered upon a solid rock. Sheldon en joys his peculiar mode of living, and says he expects to make this cave his final rest ing place. Otto OF Roses. The Momleur Indus trial Ikhje, in an interesting article on this costly perfume, says that the manufacture is largely carried on in the valley of Kes sanlik, Roumelia, the annual production of the rose farms of which amount to 4,400 pound 8 of the otto per year. As it requires about 130,0t)0 roses, weighing some 57 pounds to make an ounce of the oil, some idea of the extent of the plantations may be formed from the above given total. The flowers are gathered in the middle of May, and the harvest continues for three weeks. The blossoms collected each day are at once worked, in order that none of the odor may be lost. The process con sists in distilling them in water and then causing the water alone to undergo distil lation, when the oil ia skimmed from the suriace. Tbe labor is principally done by women and children, at wages of about ten. cents per day. The otto is always adulterated, before transmission to market, with one third or one fifth Its qimrtf if y of geranium olf.
