DR. JOHNSTON.
MiiuInT of the Royal College of Surgeons. Lon
flon, Graduated from one of the mrt eminent
Col'egfs in the United States, and the greater
j-srt of who-1 ife has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected some of the mot-t astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ng in the head and cars when asleep, great
oervousnecg, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
jaehln'.ness, with frequent blushing, attended
.oinclimcs with derangement of raiud, were cured
mmet'iatelv.
TAIiE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all thoi-c who have injurrd
heniFclvts by improper indulgence and solitary
mbits, wLieh ruin both body and mind, unfitting
hero, lor either business, etudy, society or mar
iaire. These u'e foine of the sad and melancholy
fleets produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Veakuess of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
3ackand Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
ular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dysjicpey,
v'ervou Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
"mictions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
unipiion, ic.
MrsTiLLF The fearful effects on the mind
re much to be dreaded Loes of Memory, Con
iwion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
'orelxxlinifs, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
ove of Solitnde, Timidity, Ac., are some of the
vjls produced.
Thousands of persou of all ages caii now
.idire what is the cause of their declining health,
jKing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
nd emaciated, having a singular appearance
bout llie ejes, cough and symptoms oieou'utnp-
OI' YOUNG MEN
'.'ho have injured th msclvcs by a certain prae
re indulged" in when alone, a habit frequently
arued finm evil companions, or at school, the
tlects of which are nightly felt, even when
sleep, uiid if not cured, renders marriage iuipos
ible, and destroys both mind and body, should
pply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of kis

aatehci from all prospects and enjoyments ol

MARRIAGE.
efieet that a sound mind and body are the mot1
eeesB.iry requisites to promote connubial liappi
c. Indeed without these, the Journey through
fe tiecomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
onriy darkens to the view ; the Blind becomes
hadowed with despair and filled with theme'an
lioly reflection, that the happiness of another
eeorr.es blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
leasure licds that he has imbibed the seeds of
his painful disease, it too often happens that an
1-liim d 6ense of shame, or dread of discovery,
eters him from applying to those who, from
duration and respectability, can alone uetnenc
im, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol
bis horrid disease make their appearance, such
ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose. no tural
iains in the head and limbs, dimuen ol sight,
eafnebs, nodes on the shin bones and anni-,
lotchrs on the head, face and extremities, pro
cessing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
alate of the mouth or the bones of the tioe fall
n. and the victim of this awful disease becomes
. horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
k period to his dreadful suffering, by ending
:im to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
io traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousand DIE
ictiras to this terrible disease, through falling
nto the fcands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
on, Mercury, Arc, destroy the. conbtitution, and
neapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
aonth after month taking their noiious or in
urions compounds, and instead of being restored
O a renewal of Life. Vigor and Happiness, in de?
:;ir leave him with ruined Health to sizh over

To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him-
e'.f to preserve the mot Inviolable S-ereey, and j
rom his extensive practice and observations in .
Ijc great Hospitals of Euroie, and the lirst ir. i
his country, viz : England, France, Philadelphia
nd elsewhere, is enabled to oner tnc most ci r

My wife is a jewel of a woman. The
dear creature lately came home from a i
shopping excursion in the most extrava-'
gant spirits.

I to myself, even if I get Madame Flourish
to make it up, it will be economical. '
Now, Madame Flourish was a French
i,njli.-t; who had lately come from Paris,
and had really great taste, but was most
extravagant in her charges; and I never
heard her name without a shudder. A
few months before, she made up a brotado
for Mrs. Jones, which everybody said fitted
beautifully. "It looks as though you were
born in it," enthusiastically declared a
friend, "aud it had growth with you."
P.ut my pleasure iu contemplating this j

in the same proportion, her bill would b-j

struck me as not excessive ; and accord

Uiout Mary Ami's many virtues, nnd cs -
; pccially her knack for economy.
Iq about a lortuigtit me isress came
home. It was a pretty, oiue auair, uuu
Mrs. Jones really locked like a summer
cloud in it, as she floated about the room,
displaying it iu every aspect, and expatiat
ing upon its merits. I thought to myself
it was the cheapest dress that 1 bad ever
seen, and as I smoked my cigar, I said
mentally, "Ah, Jones, what a happy dog

know, to fit and sew together a cheap dress

I was forced to nod assent to the fair
logician, though it was with an internal
groan.

Besides it takes. time to go
about matching the buttons to the dress."
I could not gainsay this, either ; but I
said to myself that there was thirty dollars
still uuaecouuted for. and that it would
"puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer" to reconcile
this sum to any r;)tinn:tl bein?'s notiou of
economy.
There's thirty dollars left,"' resumed
"T!ie what? ' 1 exclaimed.
"The Valenciennes, with which
th"
sleeves are trimmed."
"Oh ! that very common looking lace !"
said I.
"Common looking ! cried Alary Ann,
her eyea sparkling. Then she laughed
comically. "That shows what you men
know about laces. Why, Johnny, dear,
it's real Valenciennes, and very cheap;
and what's more, I can use it on some
thing else, after the dress is worn out."
"But why put real Valenciennes, as you
call it, on so cheap a dress ?" I naked, in
a tone of vexation.
"It's that very Valencienues that gives
the dress such a stylish look," said my
wifn. "Everybody knows it's a cheap
material, and it's only the trimming that
redeems it. All that I require is a Valen
ciennes collar to match it, and I shall l)c
complete."
I could not speak for amazement. I
was dumb, not merely at this 9trange no
tidn of an economical dres but at the
utter unconsciousness my wife had that
there was anything extravagant about it.
She availed herself of my silence to expati
ate on the beauty of Valenciennes, laces in
general, and on that which trimmed her
dress in particular; and warming with her
subject, made it iinally to appear that we
were under infinite obligations to Hadam
Flourish for the opportunity of paying this
bill and buying a collar to match her Val-
j enciennes. Mrs. Jones was so earnest and
sincere, that I thought it would be a pity
to oreaK Her charming delusion. I resolv
ed, therefore, to smoke second-rate cigars
for the next six months, and indulge the
dear creature in her wishes; and she
looks so lovely, and seems so happy in her
new dress and . collar, that, to confess the
truth, I don't resret what I have done.
Nevertheless, as an abstract proposition,
I still hold to the secret opinion, that pay
ing forty-five dollars for making and trim
ming a dress that only cost sixteen, doesn't
exactly show a knack for economy.
A Lote Story of the Rebellion.
We were sitting in our room at the
Glades Hotel, in Oakland, Md., one day
with a charming lady who had dropped ia
on a visit. One of our windows looked
into that of another room so placed by the
position of the main building that half of
its interior could be secu. We were look
ing at and admiring a little chubby, blue
eyed two year old. white as snow, who
j was pulling a bouquet lo pieces, and toss-

crowded into few rooms. My sister and I
had this. In that room where that little
beauty is were two Union officers, oue sick
of the fever and another of a wound. It
was hard to tell whether they were slowly
dying or slowly getting well. I never saw
such ghostly skeletons to be alive. We
were 'sccesh" and not modest about it ei
ther, but still our hearts ached for the poor
young men, so ill, perhaps dying, far from
friends and relatives.'

out of the owner, and after a deal of vexa-

met by a fixed bayonet and an insult we
got the soup ready, and as the guard in the
hall would not permit us to approach our
patients, my sister attempted to hand the
j bowl to the officer in the window. Just as
he was feebly reaching for it, and she

killed in the very next battle in which lie

aud the writer insisted upon opening a cor
respondence with my sister ; and soon his
letters grew into love letters, and after a
time they were engaged. Nearly a year
subsequent to this our patient got leave of
absence, and came on to be married. He
put up at a hotel, and will you believe it,
our own brother who was in the Confede
rate service, and knew nothing of my sis
ter's affair, led a band of guerrillas at night
into town and captured his intended brother-in-law
from his bed. This not only
deferred tho marriage, but deprived the
young West Pointer of his promotion, that
hatl been promised for gallant nervier in
the field. It was really aggravating, for
exchanges had almost ceased, and it looked
as if the lovers would have to wait until
'this cruel war w:i over' before they could
be united.'

The Good Old Times. The tradesmen
before the Revolution were a different race
from the present. There were none of
them ashamed of their leather aprons.

yellow splendors, checked shirts, and red
flannel jackets were the common wear of
most workingmen. All the hired women
