DR. JOHNSTON,
Member. of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Col'ege in the United States, and the greater
pHrt of w hose ife has been spent in the hospital
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has ejected some of the mot astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden omuds,
bashtalues;, with frequent blushiug, attended
sometimes with derangement of miud, were cured
immediatelv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have iujurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfittiug
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage. 7 hee are tome of the sad and melancholy
fleets iroducetl by early habit of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in th
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Los of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyepepsy,
Nervou Irritability, Derangement of Durealive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Cou
cumption, Ac.
MBSTalXY The fearful effects on the mind '.
are 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, fcc., are some of the
evils produced.
Thoi sauds cf persons of all age can now
ludge what is the cause of their declining heuith,
losing their .igor, becoming, weak, pule, nervous
and emaciated, having a eingnlar appearance
bout the eyes, cough and symptom of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have injured th tuselve by a certain prac
tice indulged In when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
eflect of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud if not cured, render marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
:pply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling f hi parent, should be
sualchci from all prospect and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and Indulging in a certain secret
iabit. buch persons mcst before conumplnting

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,
deter him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone- befriend
tia, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated ore throat, diseased nose, noctural
paint ia the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
Jeafne, nodes on the shin bones and ants,
Motches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at laet the
palate of the mouth or the bone of the note fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration,-till .lejith puts
. period to his dreadful suffering, by aenrtiug
liim to "that Undiscovered Count r from whesre j
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousand DIE
victims to this terrible disease, thr-jugh falling
into the hand of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution, and
iijcupable of curing, keep the nuhappv sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compound., aud instead of being restored
to a renew al of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
hi galling disappoint meet.
To ucb, therefore, Dr. Joktos pledges him
4.e!f to preserve the moat Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive pracll'-e and observations in
the great Hopitals of Europe, and the first ir.
his countrv, viz : 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.

THE IIAKGISU OF TUE CRANE.
This is the title of Longfellow's new poem. In
beauty and gentleness, Longfellow is the first of
AmerKan poets, aii-3 has few equal in ptwtic
history. We anuss this cew poem.
Pr.ir la rii.amr, to htng the crar.e, is the
French expression for a house-warming, or the
first party '.ven ir. n new hons.
r.
The lights are out, and eone are all the jiuvst
That thronging came with merriment aud jests
To celebrate the bur.jin of the emue
Iu the new Louse iulo the night are joue ;
But stiil the fire upon the hearth burns ou,
And I alone remain.
O fortunate, O happy day !
j When a new household finds Its place
Among the myriad homes of earth,
Like a new star just sprung to birth
And rolled on its harmonious way
Into the boundless realm of apace !
Eo said the guests in speech and song,
A in the chimney, burning; bright,
We huug the Irou crane to-nis;ht,
Aad merry wa the feast and oug.
II.
And uow I sit and muse on what may be.
And ia my vision see, or seem to sec,
Through floating vapors interfused with light,
Shapes iudeterminate, that tclcani and fade,
As tbadow passing into deeper shads
Sink aud elude (be siht.
For two alone, there ia the hall, I
Is spread the table round and .mail ; j
Upon the polished silver thine j
The eveuinu lamps, but more divm
The light of love shines over all ;
Of love that says not micaanj ttiite
But ours, for ours is thine aud mine.
They want no guest to come betwesn
Their tender glances line a screen,
And tell them tles of land .ind sa.
And whatsoever may betide
The great forgotten world outside ;
They want no rustits ; they needs mast be
Each other' own beet compauy.
III.
The picture fades ; as :it a village lair
A showman's views dissolve into the air,
' To rcHDDeur trauantrured on the scresn.
So in my fancy this; ard now once more
In part traustigured, through the open door
Apjiears the self-same r-cee.e.
Heated I see the two again.
But not aloue ; they entertain
A little angel unaware.
With face as round as is the nio'n ;
A royal guest with Cazeu hair,
Who, throned upn his lolly chair.
Drums on the taole with his spoon,
Then crops it careless ou the floor,
To grap at things unknown before.
Are these eele:ial manners T Those
The ways that win, the arts tbAt pleaiw 1
Ah, yes ; cemider well tht guest,
i And whatfoe'er he does seems best ;
U - ruieth bvlhe rlrht divine
Of helplesBurss, so lately born
Iu purple chambers of the mors,
As sovereign over thse aud thine.
He speakctii not, aud yet there lies
A conversation iu bis eyes ;
The golden silence of the Greek,
The gravtst wisdom of the wise.
Not spoken in language but in look
More legible than printed books,
As if he could but would not speak.
Acd cow, O monarch absolute,
Thy power is put to proof; for lo !
Restless, fathomless and slow.
The nurse comes rustling, like the sea,
Aud pushes back thy chair aud thee.
And o good night to King Canute.

A lorely laudscape through the parted trees,
Then sees It not for bough, that intervene,
Or as we see the ineon sometime revealed

There are two gusst at table now ;
The king, deposed, aud older growe,

j Rose tinted from the Isle of Flower,
j And sailing with soft ilkeu s.V.ls
i From far ofl Dreamltnd into our.
Above their bowls with nras os bi".e
Four azure eyes of deier hue
Are looking, dreai".y with delight ;
Limpid as planets that emerge
Abov? the ocean's rounded verge,
8oft shining through the summer tight.
Steadfast they uaze, yet nothing ee
Beyond the horizon of their bowls ;
Nor care they for the world that rolls
With all its freight of troubled sou!
Into the davs that are to be.

Again the tosblng boughs shut out the sceut.
Again the drifting vapor intervene,
And the moon's palid disk is hidden c.u'.te ;
And now I see the tablo wider grown,

IV THE SsYIMG.
BT JIR3. JA1ISS OILERl'.T.
rretty, naucy Kitty went swinging up
and down, up and down, her light muslin
dress waving and fluttering in the breeze.
"Glorious, Rupert, isn't it ?" she cried,
railing to her pet anil companion, a uuge,
shaggy dog. "I5ut where are you ? Why j
don't you answer, sir?" And swinging;
more slowly.shc looked everywhere around
her.
Kitty was down at the bottom of the old
fashioned garden, back of her father's farm
house, where a swing had been put up for
her, iu a grove of trees.
Suddenly a merry voice cried out "here,"
and a handsome young man leaped the low
fence, and advanced toward her, laughing,
and doffing his hat.
Kitty was out of the swing and on her
feet in an instant, her eyes flashing, her
figure drawn up to its full height. She
looked prettier than nver in her indigna
tion. "I beg your pardon," said the intruder,
bowing half-mockingly ; "but I was taking
a short cut across the field, when I Iward
you call me."
"Call vott'' Kitty looked as jf she
would annihilate him.
"Certainly," with the utmost coo'nes.
"You called 'Rupert,' didn't you ?'
"I was calling my dog, sir," said Kitty,
with infinite hauteur.
"Well, I'm not exactly a dog," was the
laughing answer, "but I've often been
railed an 'impudent puppy' at your ser-
vifM rriiaa And ei SrtWuf iii,alei arn.
Aad he bowed again pro-
foundly.
j I should
think so,' snapped Kitty,
! stamping her li
little foot. And she muttered
i to herself, not expecting to be heard.
'Im-
j pudence !'
i The stranger heard the word, ceverthe-
less. His manner chaugt-d. lie became
as serious and deferential as the most chiv
alrous knight of old in presence of bis mis
tress. 'I beg pardon. I'm afraid I'm trespass
ing. But the path through the field was
J trodden as if one had the right of way
there, and I beard you call well, I made
a mistake." Again the mirthful look
danced in his eyes. "Gwd-morning !"
Ha swept the very ground with bis hat.
ns h executed another profound bow,
i and then turned, and putting his baud on
I the top of the fence, vaulted over, aud the
! next moment was out of sight.
Kitty did not swing any more that day,
i but went back to the house muttering, 'the
; impudent fellow,' while the real Rupert,
1 who had been off chasing a rabbit, re-appeared
just at this juncture and accompa-
nied her, frolicking and barking around
! her. But this was not the Rupert she
: meant, when she said, 'the impudent fel
' low.'
A week passed. Kitty saw no more of
j the stranger, though she often wondered
who he could be, and if he was staying in
the neighborhood. At tho end of that
time, she attended an evening party at
i Judge Stacy'. Almost the first person
! she saw, on entering the room, was the
j handsome s'.ranger.
i 'I wish to introduce you to uiy uep2iew,'
said the Judge, leading that personage up
to Kitty. 'Ilia came, by baptism, is Ru
j pert Mortimer ; but he is such a saucy fel
; low, that he is best known among bis
friends, as 'that impudent puppy !"
The eyes of the two young people met.
Young Mr. Mortimer's were dancing with
fun. For the life of her, Kittv could not
help laughing. So they laughed in concert,
and lie said, bowing low, and repeating
the words he had used in the garden, 'Yes,
'that impudent puppy' at your service.'
i 'He ih making sport of me,' said Kilty
to herself, and drew herself up haughtily ;
I and for the rest of the interview she was
i cold and reserved, connaiog herelf to
j monosyllabic replies. Yeiy boon, at the
i appearance of one of her many admirer.
! she excused herself, and went off to dance.
A h't of ii Tartue I'm afraid nolilo i
i quized Rupert Mortimer. "Kut how pretty
; she if. She looks, too, as if she hsd a noblo
character ; and she can take her own part
i an I have found to my cost. But I'm
j afraid sh has been spoilt by admiration.
I To get iuto her good graces, one uiust go
i on hi very knes to her, and faith ! it is
almost worth while to do it. Hut ao !
Rupert Mortimer, my boy, keep your self
i respect." Then, with a laugh, 'Is thy ser
j vant a dog, that he should do this thing ?'
Yet oftcu, that evening, Rupert found
i himself, as if by some magnetic attraction,
j drawn to Kitty's sid-;. Kitty, too, could
! not help, occasionally, glancing, admiring
! ly at his handsome face and graceful figuro-.
.She saw, very sooq, that he w'a the bet
i dancer ia the room. Ho, wheii a waltz
! struck up, and ho asked her to join in it,she
j could not resist. 'If I don't dance with
: him,' she said to herself, 'the other girls
j will say be didu't ask me ; ani that would
j never do.'
Kitty had never tojoyed a waltz so much,
j She forgot the ridiculous episode in the
1 swing, forgot the stranger's cool efl'rontery,
forgot everything but the dreamy music
' and the rythmical movement of her com-
paniou. When the band stopped, she
sighi:d, involuntarily, wishing it wa all to
: go over again.
! 15alls, pic-nics. and croquet parties fol
lowed each other in rapid succession, for
the summer was a gay on?. Kitty and
i young Mr. Mortimer were together almost
I con.1
ustanlly. Somehow, Kitty fell into theljugsr having swallowed a sab:
bit of expecting Rupert always, as her j brought into the Charitc Hospital
I hal.
! special escort ; and he begau to Teel that no
I one but him had a right to Kitty, and to be
' very jealous, when others attempted to pay
! her attentions. As yet, however, no words
j of love had pase?d between them ; for Ru
i pert now thoroughly etiamored, feared to
' ruin all by too premature an avowel ; espe
J daily as, once or twice, when he had ven
j tured to approach the subject, Kitty had
j suddenly grown haughty and cold,
j A hnal pic nic had been planned, to close
i the season. It proved a great success. The
day passed morrily on, until lunch-time.
Rupert had made up his mind to have a
qui.it ramble with Kitty, after this meal,
and if things went well, to speak cf hie
love. Rut he had counted without his
j cost, for when luncheon was over, and he
' had got rid of his aunt. Mrs. Judge Stacy,
! who had called him to her side to wait oa
t t.or. ! f Kittv had disappeared. Foil of
' jealous fears, and determined to find out
who his rival was, he set forth through the
j woods to discover Kitty. He had not gone
! far. before her favorite dog came bounding
toward bins, jumping and barking, and
manifesting the greatest delight at seeing
him. But when Rupert stopped and looked
wistfully at Rupert, and then rushed on
j again.

In a moment he was at her side. A'l
j his jealousy was gone. I-ove was upper
most.
Oh, darling!' he ciied, 'what ts it?
Thank God, I have found you.'
'Oh ! Mr. Mortimer.' she cried, -vith a
little sob, 'how glad I am to see you. I
began to think I would have to stay here
all night alone. I've sprained my ankle, so
1 can't walk. What shrtU I do?' And
she burst into tears.
Our hero took both the IiUh hands, and
held them tightly in his own, while he
questioned her anxiously as to the acci
dent, relating meantime how he came to
find her.
'But how ?' exclaimed Kitty, ruefully,
when he had done, 'how am I ever to get
"back ? I don't believe I can walk a step.'
Of course you can't. Who said you
could?' cried Rupert. 'But you'll get
back right, all the same, for I intend to
carry you.'
'Carry me !
Kitty gave a little scream,
and shrank back, and covered her face
with both hands, for she felt the hot blood
in her cheeks. 'Oh, no ! that will never
do,' and she blundered o;u, unthinkingly.

At first, Kitty struggled a little, but the
strong, manful arms held her close, and
soou she began rather to like it, and to
think it all very delightful. 'At any rate,'
she said to herself, 'I can't help it ; he is
too masterful to resist.' With this com
forting conclusion, her faxr head sank on
bis shoulder, and for the first time in her '
life Kitty knew what it was to be supreme
ly happy.
Rupert carried his lovely burdon to his
own buggy, which stood apart from the
crowd, and carefully placed Kitty in it.
'There- now,' he said, 'I shall take you
home immediately, and stop for a doctor
on the way. Nobody can drive you, with
ohttle pain, ae I can. he added, seeing '

she was about to object. 'Besides, you

She gave a j

ing of the Sociote de M-decine of Paris
some curious records of case of foreign bo-
dies in the diyeeti vc passages were related,
M. I.uoier cited the case of a younj; wo-
man, a maniac, who had several times
tried to commit suicide. Oa the f rst oo- j
casion she took a decoction of two or three !
packets cf tobacc, which she had boiled ;
for half an hour. Another time she swal-:
lowed two quartern of a hundred o: pins,
and buried au"t!i r quarter of a hundred
in her scalp. Finally she procured
hectogrammes (nearly half

The sabre became divided into two parts,

brandy, swallowed a knife, which he after- j

would not pass, serious results cam? oa, j
and caused his death in three days. Thc
necropsy revealed chronic ulcerous gastri
tis. The knii'o wa found, but tlw horn
handle had been completely digested, aad
there ouly remained vestiges of tlw five or
six blades it had contained. Another case
was that of an hysterical woman, who had
swallowed a packet of needles, of which
396 issued from her breasts, arms, chest,
&c. M. Reliquet related a cose of stran
gulated hernia, operated on by M. Mai
soneuve, in which it was ascertained dur
ing thc operation that all the effects of
strangulation had been brought on by the
presence of a lark' claw, which had been
swallowed by the patient and had lodged
across the intestine.

found a series of concentric curves, pro

scribed the heart's movements on itself,
just as the styles of a sphygmograpb would
have done. This case, besides beiDg very
interesting from a physiological point cf

schools. There ere a great many peculiar
j ritiee connected with the eel that but few
I people kuovr of. For instance, there an
some eight or ton varieties, of which seve
ral never enter into fresh water. Some of
the varieties are, when full grown, ten or
twelve f.-ct in length, weighing one hun
dred pounds. The kind here, the common
fresh rind salt water eel, is usually from
twelve to twenty-four iuches in length.
Ee!, it has been proved, have both sexes
in one, and spawn somewhat in the man
ner of other fish. Like the turtle, they can
travel out of water for some distance, frenj
stream to stream, so that in almost every
rivulet, however small, they enn be found.
The gills or breathiug organs, are covered
i up by a most delicate curtain, which acts
lika a valve and a reservoir for water, thus
enabling the fish to taks in a quantity of
water, so to speak, to keep its gills moist
