secret and solitary practice more fatal to their
victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners

of nntieipitions, rendering marriage, Ac., impos
sible. lOUXG MEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of young men of the most exalted
talents and brilliant Intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or waked to eestacy the 1
living lvre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Yonng Men contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Procreatlve Power Impoteney), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
tpeedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J.
may religiously confide Id his honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely nnon his skill as a Phv
sician. ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Inipotency, Loss of Power, intmed'ately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible i6 the penalty
paid bvthe victims of improper indulgences.
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses j
from not being aware of the dreadful eonseqences
.bat may ensue. Now, who that understands
he ubject will pretend to deny that the power
if procrction is lost sooner by those falling into
nipropcr habits than by the prudent? Besides
eing deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
he mo6t serious and destructive symptoms to both
iody and mind arise. The system becomes de
anged, the Physical and Mental Functions
A'eakened, Loss of Procreative Power, Nervous
rritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,

A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons mined in health by unlearned preten

pk. jonxsTo.v,
.Icmbcr of the Royal College of Surgeons. Lon
on, Graduated from one of the niont eminent
ol'eges in the United States, and the greater
art of w hnse ife has been spent in the hospitals
f London, Pris, Philadelphia aud elsewhere, j
as effected some of the most astonishing cures
iiit were ever known ; many troubled with ring
g in the head and cars when asleep, great
rvousncss, being alarmed r.t sudden sounds,
lawfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
nuetiiiies with derangement of mind, were cured
imediatelr.
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.
TliorsASDS of persons of all ages can now
ige what is the cause of their declining health,
lug their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
d emaciated, having a singular. apjicarance
jut the eyes, cough and symptoms of eonstimp-
VOUXG MEN
ho have injured th msclves by a certain prac
e indulged In when aloue, a habit frequently
rned from evil companions, or at ecbwol, the
jets of which are nightly felt, even when
ce p, aud if not cured, renders marriage impos
le, and destroys both mind and body, should
ply immediately.
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.

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

'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

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.
