Col'eues in the Un ted States, and the trreitcr

Dr. J. addresses ail those who have iajurr.l

Who have injured th mselves by a certain prac
tice iuJuiired in when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at schol, the !
ellects of which are nightly felt, even when !
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impos- j
sible, and destroys both ir.ind and body, should
apply immediately. j
What a pity that a younir, man, the hope or his
country, the dariiau r liis parents, should be I
matched from all prospects and enjoyments i
liR-. by the consequence or deviating rrom the j
path or nature and indulgint; in a certain secret i
habit. Such icrsoiis must befire eontemt'iatini: j
MARRIAGE. J
re fleet that a sound mind and body are the iiiol
neecary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed w ithout these, the journey through
life become a weary pilgrimage; the prosj eel
hourly darkens to the view ; the in in 1 becomes
shadowed with despair and tillt l with the melan
choly reflection, that the liappinv of another
becoiiirs blighted with ourow.i.
A CERTAIN DlSEAbE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary ol
pleasure tinds that he has imbibed the seeds of !
this painful disease, it too olteu happens that an I
ill-timed sense or shame, or dread or discovery, '
deters him from applying to those who, rrom
educilion and respectability, can alone hefriem
id i V
him. delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightrul rapidity, till at last the
t.a'te of Hie mnnlb or the hones or the nose fall I
ln nH the vii iim of this awful disease becomes !
n l.nrrM i,!ect of commiseration, till death nuts I
a period to ins areaaiui suuering, oy senuing j
him to "that Undiscovered Country Iron whence ;
no traveller returns." i
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE ;
victims to this terrible disease, through falling j
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE-
TENDERS, who, by the use ol tnal aeacl;y roi
son, Mercury, V.c, destroy the constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his galliug disappointment.
To suih, therefore, Dr. Johnston plejge. him
self to preserve the mo-l Inviolable teerecv, and
from liis extensive practice and observations iu
the great Hospitals of Eurojie, and the lin-t h:
this country, viz: England, France, Philadelphia
nnd elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy iu the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

TOO OLD FOR KISSES.
ur ::. v.. s'To&KAnrt.
My uncle Philip, hale old man,
ilas children by the rtozeu ;
Tom, Ned, and Jack, and Kate and Ann
How many call me "cousin C
Gro 1 boys an 1 &:r.. the best was Hess .
I boie her on my sbou'icVr,
A little bud of iovelines"
Tiiat never should grow older !
Her eyes had such a pleading way,
They seeniel to say, "Don't fctriUr uih :
Then, growing bold, another day,
"I mean to make you like inc."'
I liked my cousin, eaily. late.
Who liked not little misses ;
She used to meet me at the gate.
Just old enough for kisses !
This wa, I think, three years ago
Before I went to college ;
I learned one thing there How to row,
A healthy sort of knowledge ;
When I was plucked (we won tin race),
And all was at nn end there
I thought of uncle Philip's place,
And every country friend there.
My co jsiu met me at the gate ;
She looked five, ten years older
A tall young woman still, sedate,
With manners coyer, colder.
She gave her hand with stately pride,
"Why, what a greeting this is !
You used to kiss me.'' She replied.
'"I am too old for kisees."'
I loved, I loved my tousin Bess ;
She's always in my mind now ;
A full blown bud of loveliness
The rose of womankind now !
She must have suitors ; old and voting
Must bow their heads before her ;
Vows must be made and songs be sung
By many a mad adorer !
Bu: I mutt wiu her ; she must give
To me her youth and beauty ;
And I to love her while I live
Will be my happy duty ;
For the will lovwiuc soon or late,
And my bliss of blisses,
Will cutne to meet me at the gate.
Nor to be too old for kises.

THE MASOS'S ORPH A X IH;H-
TER.
In a late visitation which we made to
j one of tho Orphan Homes of this State,
i we found among the interesting groups of
i fatherless inmates of the institution, a
' sweet-faced little girl of some eleven suni
i tilers, whose mild blue eye and simple, wo
! manly manners, at once attracted ournt
j teution, and kindled within our heart, as
it somewhat natural in such cases, an iti
! quisitive desire t know something her
history.
i The wonderful attractive power which
' some persons possess, and which is often
' found eveu in the eye and lontourand mau-
j ners of the young, seems to wear the mys
I tic blandishment of s,ome weird land
There
is an unearthly beauty iu the personnel,
; and wand power of immediate influence in
the individual spirit which but few can re-
81St.
It comes over us like n divinity, and
fastens our admiration as with the tetheis
of an irresistible atlinity.
It was ttiis sort of a soul-subjugation
! which came over us when wc looked into
': the eves and apparent angel .character of
this little orphan girl as she sat aiming the
r st, as if she were but a common lamb of
the fold, with the helpkss and innocent
i conseiousnesa that she was onlv an orphan
child, homeless aud friendless, and without
a single bright star to illuminate her un-
kuown future.
I To us her condition seemed a sad one-- 'And you have kept it ever since t
i without father or mother, brother or sister, : Yes, sir, for since Joseph and Fleming
! and alone iu the world, with iw guardian j died, this is nearly all I have leftofatiy
' poyver over her save that of the sympathy of ! thing that belonged to our family.'
i public charily. ! That Masonic apron was a relic worthy
' When the songs and prayers of the even- j her u nderest regards, for it gave to others,
itig were over, and the orphan family had , whom she knew not, an interest in her,
retired to tiieir respective chambers for the j which perhaps nothing else in her posses
night, we began out questioning with the ! sion would or could have done, lor she was
'kind-hearted matron, who herself is the
: relict of a Mas .nie brother whom we otiet;
: knew, and who in her piesent position is
1 doubtless the right woman in the right
i,!ace.
'What is the history of that little blue-
eyed girl,' we asked, 'who sat heie t- our
: right this evening tiuriif,' devotional ser -
viccs y
'Oh, that is Annie Tot rey, one of my fa-
voiite pet. Isn't she an iuferesting child ?'
tlie Matron asked.
'Indeed she is, but where is she from V
we inquired.
'Her little short life-story,' responded
the good woman, is fuil of interest, aud I
might add even of romance, too, for she is
an English-born child, and here in this city
hrsl both her father and mother within a
year. She had tivo little brothers, but
j they are since dead, aud Auuie is now the
ouly one left of the entire family.'
'.She is iudeed a fair and beautiful child,'
, we replied, 'and her very soul seems to
:'r speak through the soft aud mild beaming
of her eyes.'
j 'Does she seem happy here V we inquir
ed. ? 'Why, yes, this is her native disposition.
; It seems to be uatural with her to be easy
pleased, no mailer what turns up.'
'Do you know auyth'mg of her parcnt-
age, further than that she is of English
i 'tirth V
'Why, yes,' she replied ; 'I have heard
that her father wan a Master Mason, and
came, to this country to better his fortune
i as a machinist, and for some time worked
in this! city. But, p?.or nan. be and his
wife both uitd within a year after coming
to this country. Their possessions were
small, and by the time they hud passed
Ihi-otiu'h their s:cknes3 and death, there
was nothing, but their thnvj children left
behind.
With u sympathy of soul for the poor
little orphan daughter ihat wis even pain
ful, we bid the jootl matron, adieu for the
evening, with a promise of attending the
.Sabbath services the next day in the insti
tution. We could but think when lying down for
the night how melancholy and hopeless is
the prospective destiny of the tens of thou-
! sands of orphan children which are to be
j found scattered over the country. We
thought devoutly, too, of the All-seeuig
eye," aud woudercd if there was not an es
pecial assurance given to such iu that old
Jewis'j inspiration, "When tby father and
mother forsake thee, then the Lord will
j take thee up." Surely if God pities the
i poor, there must be some special hope for
: the helpless orphan in the divine compas
: siou. Life's relationships. are often sad at
; the best, for men and women are weak and
! frail, aud too frequently are wanting in ed
! ucation and intelligence, as well as iu self
i government, and eveu with their children
j around them, they are often far from being
! happy. They fail to recogniae the richest
I gtfts;of heaveu, and draw closer upon theni
! selves the sorrows of life, when they should
j only be drinking of its most pleasurable ro
i alities.
The next day in the Chapel ol the Or
! phans Home we again met the Mason's
I orphan daughter. She was dressed in her
! plain Sunday suit of buff calico, with a m at
! little ruffle of the same color rouud htr
! neck, which was partially hid by the beau
j tiful cluster of auburn cur!i which hung
; down her back.
i The children all looked well and appear-
id to be happy, and we joined with them
in their Sabbath school services with much
more than ordinaay interest. Little Annie
sat near us, aud we had a fair opportunity
! of noticing her intelligent readiness in an
: swering questions, and when the school
; closed, by permission of the Matron, wc
; had a long and interesting conversation
; with htr iu regard to what she knew of her
; history.
"Do you remember, Annie,' wc asked
! her, 'your hither and mother V'
i Q, yes, sir,' said she, i- we'd as if they
j had only died yesterday.'
'What do you remember of England your
native country V we inquired.
'Why, sir I remember Manchester, the
! place where I was born. My grandfather
I and graudinother and Uncle James live
! there, and I.nften think,' said she, with an
i air observable, 'if my dear parents had re
' maincd there we might all be living yet.'
'You line no relatives in this country,'
we aAked .
'No; one,' she answered promptly.
' Wouhi you like t ZD back to England V
wt inquire
.-5
Indeed I would,' she affirmed.
'Well, then, why don't you write to your
; relatives to send for you ? Wouldn't they
! do it V
! 'Yes, sir, I think they would,' she re
! sponded.
j 'Do you know, Annie,' we asked her
with some delicacy, 'whether your father
1 was a Mason ?'
'No, sir, she responded, 'ho was a ma
' c-Jiiuist.'
1 We could but smile at her simplicity,
I and explained, by asking, 'if he was what
tlwy call a i rtemasou
'I think he was something of that sort.'
she responded, with a laugh, 'for I have in
my little trunk up stairs a purple apron,
which lias a good many thiugs on it which
I don't know anything about. I found it
in one of our drawers a fur mother died,
and as I thought it was very pu-ttr, I kept
it ever sim-e."
I asked her it she would please go acd
get it, atid let me look at it.
She flew" up stairs at uei- l.ke a little
bird, and in n few moments returned and
' spread out upon my lap a very well pre-
j served Matter Mason's apron.
'Was this your father's. Annie V wtr in-
quired.
I 'I presume ,t was, sai.i t.he, "trioiigu 1
don't know witat he did with it. I have
often taken it out and looked at it, and
thought it was something that belonged to
the machinists.
"No, Aunie,' we assured her, 'iliis is
what they term the apron of a Master ila-
r.i ,.,l.l.
son, ami we presume your lamer neiu iui
relation to the Craft in England.'
'It may be, but I don't know,' said she,
('for I was only eight years old when we
1 left England, and I never saw it uutil my
: mother died, wl.cn 1 was nine years old.'
soon made known to several as the Mason's
1 orphan daughter, and with toe little iigtu
j which she could give, a correspondence was
I opened up by Brother Centry, of Terre
Ilau'i", with Annie's fiiends in M ifiche.s-
ter England, and the probabilities now are
j that t re the new year of 1S74 dawns upon
j Us, she will be under the genial roof of her
j grandparents in the land of her birth.

Ritualism in England.- The one
Ihing that the English people at l irge the
mass, that is to say,i f the attendant upon
the Anglican Church destest is popery :
and John Bull, the type of tliat multitude,
therefore det' sts every tiling v.-bii-h is
recfiy ass.'eiafed with popery. Ii'- bu no
bead for cesihet'o u'gutntnl. When l e
sees in a church lighted candies upon au
altar and vases of artificial flowers, and
boys swinging censers of incense and
marching in procession before a file of
clergymen, and ministers in colored and
flowered robes, and geuu3ictious and
sprinklings and bowings, he sees the Sear
let Woman the trail of the wooden shoe
is over it all. It is trus that he too kueels
and bow9 and bows and rises ; that his
minister reads the service in a white robe
and preaches the sermon in a black one,
and sprinkles water upon those whom he
baptizcs,and unites with a ring those whom
be marrils. These two aru symbols, like
those from which he recoils. Essentially
there is no difference except in number and
elaboration. If he bows once, why not
twice ? If he kneels to receive the elements
because of tbeir consecration kneel to them
on one knee or two as they lie upon the
table ? If he wiil tolerate water as a sym
bol, why not fire ? And if he will allow
a gold ring to symbolize union, why not
suffer incense to symbolize adoration ? If he
quotes texts, the ritualist, who is a scholar
polemic, quotes others. If he ventures
upon argument, he must justify his own '
ritualism. And he therefore falls back
upon his original conviction that the acts
which he condemns ara the practices of
popery, and that if he is to see them in his
own church, he can see no difference be
tween that aud a mass-house.
This was the feeling from which Puri
tanism sprang in England, as Dr. Bacon
shows in his late admirable and instructive
book upon the Gencss of the X' ic Eivjland
Churches. Of course it could not be exact
ly logical in detail. It originally rejected
the sign of the cross in baptism, the use of
of the ring in marriage, aud kueeling to
partake of the communion. But the sur
plice was especially abhorred as the sign
of a priest with supernatural functions, in
stead of a minister of the Gospel. As Dr.
Bacon says. 'To the ignorant people who
were disposed to hanker after the old ideas
it had as real a meaning as the 'wearing of
the green' has now to Irish Fenians.' The
question was not then, nor is it now among
the most strenuous opponents of ritualism,
one of taste, or temperament, or religious
enthusiasm, or a more or less ornate cere
monial. The symbols which are question
ed and refused are those which are peculiar
to the Romish worship, and when many of
those who insist upon them most warmly,
as in England, frankly declare that they
wish the English Church to be reconciled
with Rome, ritualism comes naturally to
be regarded as Romanism, and in Milton's
phrase,
'New Presbyter is bet old Priest writ large."
The action of British Parliament iu pass
ing the Public Worship Bill was anti-ritualistic,
::)'. shows clearly that the senti
nieut of the English people is iutensely
hostile to any sign of a popish revival.
The possible consequences are very serious,
for they may tcrolve the secession of a
large number of Churchmen like Dr. Puscy,
and by dividing or impairiug the strength
of the Establishment" may precipitate the
question of disestablishment, which in
volves that of discadowment. In this
countrt-, where fortunately there is no di
rect connection between church and state,
the question has still a political interest,
for a breach iu the Episcopal Church which
should throw any number of persons or
societies into the arms of Rome would so
far strengthen the political purposes of that
Church. Every ritualist naturally regards
the religious control of schools a3 of the
highest importance, and tends to the theo
ry that ecclesiastics are the lest public
school teachers. This is uot an American
view, and we should be very sorry to ic:
it. become powerful. The very decided
action of the law branch of the Convention
shows how positive it the opposition to the
tendencies of which ritualism is believed to
be the mask. Mr. Gladstone does not ad
mit that these tendencies are rightly inter
preted. He derides the importance which
is attached to the "utterly hopeless and
visionary effort" of a handful of clergymen
'to Romanize the Church aud people of
England. I canuot persuade myself to feel
alarm as to the final issue of her crusaders
in England, and this although I do not un
value her great powers of mischief." Edi
tor's Easy Ch.uk, in Ilarr's Jtityazinc
for J'.tHU'ifj
A cokkespondent- of the Pittsburg
ft'KtV.c seems to think the coming winter
wil! be an ordinarily severe one, with a
inoiVrate amount of snow, which, he
thinks, is indicative of an abundance of
rain in the spring, wi'h a summer and
harvest which will produce abundantly.
The observations upon which this
prophecy is based are that "heretofore a
dry summer or fall, or both, have always
been succeeded by a cold or natural
winter." The foliage of the trees is
another sign ; in many instances it is
holding green and fresh, while in others
it is gradually decaying. The examples to
prove the significance of these observa
tions are numerous. "In 1S."1 fourteen
States wt re dried up ; from June to Octo
ber. 1"', was the most pr-ductive year
ever known to man. Iu ls."0 :t drought ex
tended from August to November; the high
est water was in December, when the
rivers froze up. In 1857 the production
was nearly equal to 1833.
A Beautiful Thought. when the
summer of youth is slowly wasting away
on the nightfall of age and the shadow of
the path becomes deeper and deeper, and
life wears to its close, it is pleasaut to look
through the vista of time, upon the sorrows
aud felicities of our earlier years. If we
have a home to shelter, and hearts rejoice
with us, and friends have beeu gathered to
gether around our firesides, then the rough
places of wayfaring will have been worn
and smoothed away iu the twilight of life,
while the many dark spots we have passed
through will grow brighter and more beau
tiful. Happy, indeed, are those whose in
tercourse with tho world has not changed
tho tone of their holier feeling, or broken
those musical chords of the heart, whose
vibrations arc so melodious, so tender and
on tom-hlng in the evrninfr of their life.
The Effects or a Sukbeajl- -If the
curious things in science were communicat
ed rather than the materialistic, as pre
ented by Prof. Tyudall and others, Ikxu
protlt and great j.! -ts'ire wi,u!d le the re
sult. Take ia its eon'rast tht eject-, ..f a
sunbeam, for example, and one sees the
urard result of the most gentle and pow. r
ftil. aii'i yet variable ami versatile fire;-s.
As r,.tiii:,il ! an aiti.-is pen. we see lo.ii
tlic most oclici'e slip lupoid Uaf expwse 1
as : large.;. l the suu'a sliaft, is uot stirred
to tae extent of a hair, though an infant's
faintest breath would set it in tremulous
motion. The tenderestof human organs
the apple of th- eye though pierced and
buffeted each day by thousands of sun
beams, suffers no pain during the process,
but rejoices in their sweetness, blesses the
useful light. Vet a few of those rays, in
sinuating themselves into a mass of iron,
like the Brittannia tubular bridge, will
compel the closeby knit particles to sepa
rate, and will move the whole enormous
fabric with as much ease as a giant would
a straw. The play of those beams upon
our sheets of water lifts up layer after layer
into the atmosphere, aud hoists whole riv
ers from their bed, only to drop them again
in snows upon the hills, or in fattening
showers uion the plants. Let but the air
drink iu a little more sunshine atone point
than another and it dislocates a whole re
gion in its lunatic wrath. The marvel is
that a power which is capablo of assuming
such a diversity of forms, acd of producing
such stupendous results, should come to us
in so gentle, so peaceful, and so unpreten
tious a manner.
Who are tour Aristocrats. Twen
ty years ago, this one made candies, that
one sold cheese or butter, that one butcher

children will be after them though it

you shall find that these toiling worms
hatch butterflies and they Jive about a

and it brings new financiers ! The old gent
is discharged aud the youag gent takes his
revenues and begins to travel toward pov
erty, which he reaches before death, or his
children do, if Le does not. So that, in
fact, though there is a sort of moneyed
race, it is not hereditary : it is accessible to
' all. The good seasons of cotton will send
a generation of men up a score of years
will bring them all down ami send tbeir
children to labor. The father grubs and
grows rich ; the children trust and spend
the money. The children iu turn inherit
the price and go to shiftless poverty ; next
their children, reiuvigorated by fresh ple
beian blood, and by the smcil of the clou
come up asain. Thus society, like a tree,
draws its sap from the earth, changes it iu
to leaves, and spreads then abroad in
great glory, sheds them off to fall back on
the earth, again to mingle with the soil,
' and at length, to reappear in new dress
and fresh carniture.

A Model Wife. A Japanese lady has
iuvented a means of reconciliation between
quarrelsome partners which should not be
confined in practice to that distant part of
tha world. Having quarreled with her
husband, she decided upon dying. Not
content with merely relinquishing this
dreary world, she endeavored to do it at
the greatest sacrifice. She bit out her
tongue, and awaited death. Fortunately
for all parties, death did not arrive as soon
as her husband. She was therefore saved.
And, now Xakamura has a model wife.
When he complains of the toughness of his
steak, she can merely look at him. Turn
ing his eyes in another directioa ; he can
make the most satirical comments upon fe
minine economy ; can wonder why women
uever do learn how to keep down the gro
cer's bill, to save a portion of her husband's
salary ; can assure her that a little variety
of delicacies for breakfast is something
that any woman of sense could find ; can
grumble at the milliner's bill, and growl
about the coal being all out, without receiv
ing a word -f remonstrance.- He can tell
her vrjiy the baby cries without being chal
lenged to remedy the evil, and can gene
rally etiioy himself without dauger of a
squall. Why should Japan monopolize
such a boon 'i
The Happy Man. 1 noticed a me
chanic among a number of others at work
in a house erected but a little way from my
office, who always appeared to be in a mer
ry humor, who always had a kind word
and a cheerful smih for every one he met.
Let the day be ever so coid, gloomy, or sun
less, & happy smile danced as a sunbeam
upon his countenance. Meetiug him out
morning. I asked him to tell me the secret
of his constant, happy f.ow of spirits.
"No secret, Doctor," he replied. "I have
one of the best of wives, and when I go to
work she always ha a word of incourage
meut for nv.1 : when I go home she always
meets me v. u'i a tender kiss ; and she is
shure to bv r ndy with my meals ; and she
has d..ne so many things through the day
to p!eae me, that I cannot find it in my
heart to speak unkindly to any one.'"
What influence then, hath woman over the
heart of man, to soften it, and to make it
the foundation of cheerful and pure em
tions? Speak gently, then ; a happy smile
and a kind word of greeting after the toils
of the day are over, cost nothing, aud go
for toward making a home happy and
peaceful. l)r. Vr-ik Tin.
Indian Prophets. A Mrang phase of
the Indian question is that two prophets
have arisen, each of them in regions far
remote from the other preaching that
the Indians should have no further inter
course with the whites and missionaries,
and that though few in number they shall
again possess the land. Smohalla, the Ore
gon prophet, urges the Indians to live
upon no reservation, to accept no bounty,
to enter no church or school or house of
prayer, and to be in no way lured from the
habits of their forefathers. Already he has
a compact and powerful band who believa
in his doctrine, and try to lire up to them,
though no attempt has been made to carry
out the extermination of the whites, which
he also preaches. A sirailiar prophet has
j arisen among the Comanches of Arizona,
who tells his people that lie had an inter
view with the Great Spirit, who said that
the Indians who were adopting the
mode of life of the whites wero going down
bill fast, as regarded population, and that
the Comanches would do the same sboaJ
thv too becomf civilized.
