tbentselvea by improier luduUrence d si.iiiarr
hablv. wbkh rniu both bw'y a"J mind, unfitting
tliem for cither business, study, society or iiun

4:ftc4-ls jrodueed by early habits of youth, viz:
WrAhuf-ss of the Back and Limbs, Pains iu tb
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus

arc much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Deiression 4f Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, tc, are some of the
evils produced.
Thocsasds of persons of all ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming,-weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular ajiearance
about the 4'j'cs, cough and symj'toms ol consump

What a jity that a young man, the hojieof his ;
country, the darling of his parents, should be j

life, by the consequence of deviating from the ,
path of nature and Indulging in a certain secret j
habit. Such persons vrsT Iwfore eontemt)!ating i

reflect that a sound mind and body are the mos1 j
necessary requisites to promote connubial haj.j.i- .
uess. ludeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary jilgrimage ; the project j
hourly darkens to the view; the. mind becomes '
shadowed with desj.air and tilled with the melan- ;
choly reflection, i liut the bappiucst of another !
becomes blighted with our own. j
A CERTAIN DISEASE. j
When the misguided and imprudent votary of I
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of j
this painTul disease, it too often hajijcus that au j
lil-timed sense of shame, 4.r dread of discovery, j
deters him from applying to those who, from j
education and respectability, can alone befriend 1
him, delay ing till the constitutional symj.toms ol j
this horrid disease make their appearance, such ;
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocttiral i
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, j
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and i.rms, j
blotches on the head, face and extremities, j.ro-
grrssing with frightful rapidity, till at last the j
palate of the mouth or the boucs of the nose full ,
in, aud the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death luU
a period to bis dreadful suffering, by sending j
him to "that Undiscovered Country from whence '
no traveller returns." !
It is a melancholy fart that thousand DIE j
victims to this terrible disease, through falling ;
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, w ho, by the use of that deadly 1'oi-

month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life. Vigor and Hajipiness, in des- j
j.air leave him with ruined Health to sigh over !
bis galling disappointment. j
To such, therefore, Dr. Joiinstn pledges him- j
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from bis extensive practice and observations in ,
the great Hospitals of Eurojic, and the first it: ;
this country, viz: England, France, Philadelphia j

THE BELLE OF MOXTF.REY.
Tho Monterey if twenty-live years ago
was a vastly (lilll'rent town from tin; Mon
terey of to-day. The silent streets, now
the almost exclusive property ol pee8e,eows
and nomadic hugs, then echoed to the
ringing hoof of the gaily attired Cahallrra's
horse ; the uniform of the English and
American naval officer contrasted with the
I staid black mantilla of the jiretty t,tnnrcta;
the guitar tinkled on moonlit nights nnder
j the lattice of the dark-eyed belle, and the
romance of Spanish life mingled with the
j bustle and activity of a prosperous seaport
j tow n. Now au untenanted harbor, a mass
I of half-ruined unoccupied buildings, and a
drowsy stir of neglect and indifference, con
stitute the modem Monterey. Still the ro
ses and the tall hollyhocks cliug lovingly to
the adobe walls, and peep in through the
low windows ; but the blushing olive
cheeked girls tU..t offered them to their
lounging wooers at the garden gates twenty-five
years ago have grown into dowdy
matrons, wrinkled by family caro, wliosc
margin is washed by the spring-tides which
knowing no change, murmur yet as of old
on the crescent beach.
With all its dreary somnolence, there is
a charm about the old town, sitting like
some sad widow by the sea, mourning the
I commerce which has deserted her, and yet
j in all her grief, Enoch Arden like, hoping
i and waiting for a sail, and seeing
j The great -tars that globed themselves in hea
ven, The hollow bellowing ocean and again
The scarlet shafts of sunrise but no sail.
Slowly in the bay sunk the evening sun
on the -2 Hh of I K'cember, Across the
waters streamed its last gohlen and puqile
rays, "listening on the wet sands, tenderly

er, a painter could desire no better model
fur a Madonna or an Evangeline, for the
face had all the sweetness of the one, with
the resigned expression of patient waiting
of the other. A sour looking, querulous
looking face appeared at the deep window.
'Come here' Maria ; 'tis supper timi'.'
1 'Yes, Mailrr ;' and Maria, securing
i the erratic vine to a nail in the adolie wall,
entered the house.
i Ten years before Hit; date of our story,
! whi n Maria's sweet womanhood was at its
I dawn, for many a mile rode the youth of
: the southern country to catch a glimpse of
1 and exchange a word with the belle of
: Monterey. A rosebud from her lingers
i was a rare gift, to be carefully preserved
i and worn with pride, and a kind glance
! In June, l ls, the stout ship Delight furled
j her canvas and dropped her anchor in the
Bay of Monterey. She was owned by the
great Hudson's Bay Company, and was
j bound north to drain the posts of the eoin-
pany on the Frazer and Cdumbia rivers of
j the valuable furs which lay in their store
i houses. The supercargo of the Delight,
James Giltnore, was a son of the vice pre
; sideut of this opulent corporation, and
showing a positive disinclination for each
' and all of the learned professions, and ex
i pressing a hearty contempt for the huni
! drum life of Europe, had been sent by his
J father to the Pacific shores, to driBk his
! fill of the adventures for which he thirsted,
i He was a youth of a singular force of cha
racter, very undemonstrative, aud possess
ed some decided opinions of the dilettante
which had won for him in his university
days the title of The Radical. The unani
mous verdict of the jury of old wiseheads
to whom Gilmour senior had applied for
j an opinion of his sou's character, was that
j James was talented, but odd an eccentric
t young man, in fact who, unless travel
j tempered him down, would never be an ac-

whose dusty precincts Ins father Bad
amassed a bulky fortune. So James found

the Bay of Monterey, and, though nomi
nally supercargo, really in that tancled
maze of a young man in pursuit of a voca
tion, j
'Captain Brown,' said Cilmour, after j
that worthy seaman had squared the yards i
to his satisfaction, got his fancy waist :
clothes at the gangway, and inspected the ;
fitting on of the good clothes, which a mer
chant vessel dons in port 'do you know j
any of the inhabitants of this odd looking
village on the hillside ?'
'Village! Mr. Cilmour. I pray you
don't call this a village. This is a city,
sir the first city in California and, if I
mistake not,' continued the captain, 'yon
der at the custom house stands the alcalde,
a hospitable gentleman to whom our com
pany is indebted for many favors.'
A few moments afterwards both speakers
were heartily greeted by that official, who,
as the boat's keel grated on the sand, wel
comed them to Monterey.
Among the many young and pretty
Spanish airls whom Gilmour met in Mon
terey was Maria Ignacia. A spirit of ri
valry induced him to throw himself into the
list with the Spanish gallants who strove
for the fair Maria's smiles. Ho was more
than successful. The difference in his
manner, his recitals of adventure in Eu
rope; aud descriptions of the grand places
of history, were something so novel to Ma
ria, bo totally different from the stereotyp
ed compliments of her wooers, that she
found a charm in his society which, in her
innocence, she cared not to conceal. But
the end came at last. The Delight was to
proceed northward, and the supercargo
prepared to take leave of all his Spanish
friends.
'And so, Maria,' said Cilmour, on the
evening prececding his departure, 'our
pleasant visit comes to an end. Well, I
have improved my Spanish, and you little
Madonna, if ever the fates take you to Eng
land, you will recognize the abbeys and the
churches from my descriptions.'
Maria Ignaeia did not reply, but stooped
to pick up an abalone shell, which, wetaud
sheeny, lay in the sand at her feet.
"And now, Maria. I have only oue re
quest to make, which our charming ac
qtiaiutance warrants. It has three parts,
however a souvenir from this dark hair of
yours ; a letter now and then, when you
weary of your Spanish lovers, and wish to
talk to me across the water ; and a kiss.'
Still no answer from the girl, who, with
eyes cast down, strolled along by his side.
'Then I shall take it for granted that my
prayers prevail. Maria.'
Her soft eyes were raised to his, and he
was surprised to find how pale the face
was, and how moist the rounded cheek,
lie raised her lips to his with a half sigh,
aud theu, as if a new thought had sudden
ly struck him, said abruptly, half to him
self aud half to her : 'Good God ! it con't
be bo, Maria ! Tell me do you love me?'
The wonderful passion in the full brown
eyes, so tender aud despairing, told him
all. And wheu, like a foolish young man,
he took her in his arms, and swore all the
oaths that lovers have so ofteu sworn and
so often broken, aud when they strolled
oactt over tlie sands, jiaria's twin wtro
gone, aud James Gihuore clasped the hand
of his promised wife.
This was all the romance in Maria's life.
The next day the Delight sailed, and for
ten years neither ship nor supercargo were
heard of iu Monterey. But she never mar
ried. She had a strange way of every ev
ening walking to the hill top where the old
fort stood, and looking wistfully out across
the water ; then sorrowfully and resigned
ly returning to her home, nursing her inva
lid and sourtemperd mother, and training
the roses about the adobe walls.
On this Christmas eve, Maria Ignaeia,
kneeling before her old fashioned engraving
of the Madonna, thought of the manger in
Bethlehem centuries ago, and wondered
sorrowfully if .lames Gilmour was enjoying
in his English home the Christmas tree and
the mistletoe, antl all those games he had
told her of when they had walked on the
sands ten years ago. And then her
thoughts went buck to that Juue evening
when he kissed her lips and called her his
wife.
Boom ! boom ! boom ! through the still
nijht nir.
Maria opened her window and looked
OUt
A party of Portugues whalers went
by, and she learned from their excited ex
clamations that a ship had gone ashore ou
the Point Pinos Rocks.
'May (iod and the Virgin succor them !'
she murmured piously, as she hurried to
wrap her shawl around her, and was soon
in the street.
Fvi rv one was astir. Men on horseback
j wUh rfippg roJc furiouHy along the bead;
j , ....., Pom, . ti.e whalers manned
their boats, set their sails, and sped before
the blast through the moonlit waters. They
were all too late. The cruel, pointed rocks
had torn the ill fated vessel to fragments,
and the breakers dallied with spar and
mast, now flinging them high up on the
beach, and again drawing them back to
hurl them once more against the brown
dill's. But not a single body did the waves
throw up that night.
Christmas day dawned, and when Maria
L'nacia Gomez looked from her window
n . . . , -
i down to the crescent oeacn, sue saw a
crowd of men standing about something.
They lifted it up and bore it through the
street to her door, for hers was the house
nearest the beach.
Is he dead V she asked, fearfully.
'When we first saw him,' said a whaler,
'lie was clinging to a spar, and before we
got the boat out he was washed ashorc.:
They laid him on a bed. His dark beard
was full of sand and weeds, and a white
froth issued from his lips ; a finely built
mau handsome, no doubt, when those
eyes now staring so blindly, had light aud
lifts, ami those well-cut lips moved and
smiled.
'Maria -Maria, what ails you ?'
She was standing by the bedside, her
hands crossed over her breast ; her eyes as
fixed and vacant as the dead before her.
'Oh, my beloved !' she moaned, laying
her white face on his bruised and stained
breast ; 'at last after so many years.' And
then she smoothed back the tangled hair,
and wiped the foam from the livid lips,and
straightened out the limbs of him who had
come to seek her after so long.
For it was a great consolation that he
had been true even to death. They buried
him behind the old fort, and Maria took up
the thread of her life again. Aud now the
roses were doubly dear to her, for they
were for his grave.

IIOItRinr.K KEEDS OK THE MOLLY MA
GUIRES ATTEMPTED DESTRUCTION' OP
A CITIZEN'S HOUSE WITH POWDER.
A letter from Mahanoy City (I'a.) to
the Xew York Jfrrohl says :
Since the denunciation of Molly M;t
guireism by the Catholic clergy the mem
bers of that terrible secret organization
have becomingly determined to perpetrate
still more flagitious crimes, purposely to
terrorize the communities where the priests
who denounced their outlawry reside and
officiate. Not a day passes but some new
and frightful diabolism is committed, and
the law-abiding and rcspectale citizens are
becoming more than ever alarmed for the
safety of their lives and property.
Recently Daniel Dougherty, tho notori
ous Molly Maguire, who murdered Chief j considered as giving them particuisr ad
Burgess Major, was removed from here lo j vantages ; thus, it is said that Baskerville
the Schuylkill county jail at Pottsville by j would not reveal the ingredients of the ink
Officers Stauffer, Lambersou and Leitten-1 whicht in Lia day wa9 considered remark
berger. The Molly Maguires, who threa- j aWe for it3 blackness, and that Ibarra of
tcned rescue and a ceneral massacre of i cM; ;m;tj i,; .mio f,;u tv,,,,
all opposing them, crowded the streets of
the town armed to the teeth, but were
checked from inaugurating a riot by the
presence of the Shamokin Guards a large
body of troops which had been telegraph
ed for by the authorities. Daugherty has
been tried, the court finding a true bill
against him for murder. Since that time
the excitement has visibly increased among
the dangerous classes in Schuylkill county.
The Mollies in and about Mahanoy City
loudly assert that they will destroy the
town and everybody in it if he be convicted.
A prominent clergyman, who has been
particularly severe in his condemnation of
the party or parties, under Dougherty, im
plicated in the assassination of Burgess
Major, has received a notification to leave
the place, while others who deprecated the
flagrant operations of the outlaws, have
been the recepients of Ku-Klux notices,
warning them to beware, as they will meet
with a speedy and dreadful death if their
denunciations are continued. The people,
apprehending that a bloody and extended
riot is soon to oecurr, are arming them
selves for the expected conflict.
In all sections of the Middle Coal Fields
of Schuylkill county docs the lawlessness
prevail, aud thrilling accounts reach here
of the fearful attrocities perpetrated by tfie
red-handed desperadoes.
The.Moily Maguires, having jienetratcd
to the upper Lehigh region, have already
committed various atrocious acts, and the
citizens fear that horrors similar to those
enacted during the well-remembered ''long
strike" are to be perpetrated again.
A most distardly attempt was made
to blow up a hou.se with powder, at Ilazle
ton, on Tuesday night. The building,
which is situated on North Wyoming
street, is a double block, the occupants be
ing Thomas Morgan and John M'Master.
Both men are noted for being quiet and
inoffensive, and their families respectable
and orderly. The fiends who attempted
this terrible outrage went about their work
systematically, showing they were ac
quainted wuii iiiiuiug expiouiug operations.
They deposited a keg of heavy proof pow
der in the cellar of Morgan's house, in such
a manner as they expected would compass
the demolition of the structure, ami then
by means of a fuse, ignited the blast.
A great explosion occurred, which shat
tered the glass inside and outside the build
ing. The house was raised, but settled
Into its former position after the concus
sion. Mr. Morgan, who was in his apart
ment at the time was thrown violently
against the ceiling, and received slight
injuries. The house was badly damaged ;
but, fortunately, no one but Mr. Morgan
was hurt. This is the second attempt
made to destroy the premises. Mrs. Mor
gan was sick iu bed, she having been con
lined ou Saturday. The Molly Maguires
performed a similar deed during the "long
strike" at Mount Carmel, only in that case
a dying man was blown to atoms.
The brigands are plying their nefarious
trade in Luzerne county, where they roam
unmolesttdly. On Sunday Michael Kear
ney, a miner employed by the Lackawanna
Iron and Coal Company, was found at the
base of an eighty foot embankment, be
tween the Delaware and Hudson and Le
high and Susquehanna Railroads, at the
foot of Lincoln street, Scranton, horribly
mutilated, and breathing his last. lie was
carried to the hospital, but died immedi-!
ately after his reception. The supposition
is that he was first murderously assaulted
and then thrown down the embankment to
conceal the crime.
This is another added to the many my
stei ions assassinations now recorded in the
immoral history of Scranton. The law
breakers are still despoiling women upon
principal avenues of Scranton. A few
evenings since a young lady, a stranger in
the city, while on her way to the Lehigh
and Susquehanua depot, was brutally as-
sanlted. Aftei her despoliation tlie out
laws were about to add murder to their
crime when the victim's piercing shrieks
brought to her assistance a number of the
employes of the Murnimj Hfnilirn, where- j
upon tlie fiends fled.
The Molly Maguire
, . .
McGuiie, who
slaughtered Mrs. M'Kinney a short time
ago at Parsons, is leading a band of or
ganized depredators at Pine Brook, but no
attempt has been made by the authorities
j for his capture. Andrew Ixmahan, the as-
sassin of Capt. John Beiley,at Wilkesbarre,
is also repoi ted to be the chief of a horde
of Mollies in the Schuylkill region, with
his head-quarters near Mahanoy Plain, a
dark, louesoine shelf in the Broad Moun
tain, just above here. The influence of
these malefactors is so great that the law
officials are seemingly powerless to effect
their arrest and incarceration.
Elsewhere in the coal country the out
lawry is great. From the Clarion county
bituminous working comes the intelligence
of the perpetration of much diabolism in
that region. On Sunday night ten Mollies
took possession of the Evangelical church
in the township of Farmington, and refused
to permit the congregation to leave the
building after the conclusion of the services.
When remonstrated with they responded
with the most vile abuse against the church
and people. On Monday night a larger
force visited the church and made an in
discriminate and murderous attack upon
the worshippers with pistol, clubs, bludge
ons, (a favm-ite weapon with the Molly
Maguires), stones and other death-dealing
things. A number of the congregation
were seriously wounded, and at last ac
counts some of them were momentarily ex
pected to die.

Secrets of Tkintixo Offices. Tlie
extension of education, which especially
marked the fifteenth century in Europe,
had made manuscripts very valuable, and
some of the earliest specimens of printing
wen: sold as manuscripts a epeeies of ex
tra remtintrntion which the printers were
justly entitled to reap, for a short time, as
a repayment for the special difficulties un
der which they tailored. The processes of
what was long termed the art and mystery
of printing were preserved as a secret by
Guttenberg, Faust and Schoeffer for a few
years (their workmen being probably
sworn ;) but with no dishonorable inten
tion, as may be inferred from the fact that
the publications of 1437 contained a proud
and almost boastful assertion, that they
were manufactured by mechanical means.
From time to time, certain distinguished
typographers have endeavored to preserve
as secrets some soecial process which thev
i ' llt,Aa- llAJILLbLlai aVJl7 .kL4,lJ W 1 V -M. TSU-f
ui refused visitors admittance into one
room of his printing office, in which it is
supposed he adopted peculiar methods for
pressing sheets. Even at the present day
some trade secrets are closely guarded, al
though mauy things are freely proclaimed.
Another species of secrecy that relating
to the careful supervision of confidential
public documents, books being printed for
secret societies, and the authorship of arti
cles or pamphlets has been mest honora
bly maintained. When treaties are prema
turely published in newspapers, the copy
is obtained from some leaky or venal offi
cial, and not from any of the printers who
set up or work off the original. So, too,
where it is desirable to conceal the autho
ship of articles of books, this is rarely or
never disclosed by a printer who becomes
acquainted with it in the exercise of his
calling. Most honorable to the profession
is a story of Hardin?, the printer who bore
imprisonment rather than reveal the au
thorship of the Drapier Letters. Sir Wal
ter Scott's authorship of the Waverly No
vels, although known by twenty persons,
including a number of printers, was so well
concealed that the great novelist could not
even in his matchless vocabulary, find
words of praise sufficient to express the
sense of his grateful acknowledgement, and
wondering admiration for the matchless
fidelity with which his mystery had been
preserved. In thousands of other instan
ces similar fidelity has been exhibited ;
and it i3 a part of the professional honor of
a printer not to disclose wantonly, nor
from venal motives, the secrets of any of
fice in which he is employed. Printera

How to Find Out WnoM any Per
son Will Marry. It don't require an
astrologer, a medium, or a gipsey with a
dirty pack of cards.
It is very simple lies in a nut-shell, and
can be expressed in a few words.
They are these :
The last person you would naturally
lIiiuK of.
If a girl expresses her fondness for ma
jestic men witk. large whiskers, make np
your mind that she will in.ry a very
small man with non. -
If she declares that "mind" is all she
looks for, expect to see her stand before the
altar with a pretty fellow who has just
sense enough to tie a cravat bow.
If, on the contrary, she declares that she
must have a handsome husband, look about
you for the plainest person in the circle of
her acquaintance, and declare "that is the
man," for it will be.
Men are almost as bad.
The gentleman who desires a wife with
a mind and a mission, marries a lisping
baby who screams at the sight of a mouse,
and hides her face when she hears a sud
den knock at the door.
And the gcntlemau who dreaded any
thing like strong-mindedness, exults in the
fact that his wife is exactly everything he
had declared he had detested.
If a girl says of one, "Marry him I I'd
rather die look upon the affair as settled,
and expect cards to the wedding of those
two people.
If a man remarks of a lady "Not my
style at all," await patiently the appear
ance of his name in tlie matrimonial column
in connection with that very lady's.
And if any two people declare themselves
"friends and nothing more," yon may
know what will come next.
There is no hypocrisy in all this, and
such matches are invariably the happiest.
People do not know themselves, and
make great mistakes about their own in
tentions. Love is terrible perplexiug when he first
begins to upset one's theories, and when
his arrow first pierces the heart, there is
such a fluttering that it is hard to guess the
cause.
Besides, m.iii proposes and Cod disposes,
and it is the "I don't know what" wi!h
which people fall in love, and not these pe
culiariiies which could lm given in a pass
