TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have iniurrd themselves by improper indulgence and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, untitling them lor either busmen-, study, society or mar riage. These are some of the sad ai.d melancholy eGeets j.roduced by early habits f youth, viz: Weakness of the back and Limbs, rains in the Packand Head, Dimness of Siht, Lo- of Mus inlur Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy, Nervous Irritability, Derjiugenient of Diirei-tive I'unctiiiiis, General Debility, Symptoms of Con-i-u motion.

A CERTAIN DISEASE. "'hi u the misguided aud imprudent votary of I kiire finds that be ha imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often hapeiis that an ill-tiiised sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend him. delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol this horrid d'st-ase make tlieir appearance, such s ui-erated sore throat, diseased nose, noctiira! pairs in the head and limbs, dimm ss of eight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones and anus, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro-pesr-ing with frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the hon of the nose fall in. and tLe victim of thi awful disease beeom s a horrid object of commiseration, ti.l de.it h puts a period to his dreadful suffering, by s-nding 1 im to "that Undiscovered Countrv froai when. no traveller returns." I: is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victim-, to this terrible disease, through failing into the hand of Ignorant or unskillful PRE 1 ENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi son. Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, and incapable of curing, keep the unhappy siitlerer month after month taking th'-ir noxious or in jurious compounds, and instead of being restored to a renewal of Life Vigor ami Ilappine-s, it: d-s-pulr leave him with ruined Health to sigh ov. i Iii galling disappointment. To such, therefore, Dr. Joiiv-ton pledge hitn st if to preserve the most Inviolable S'-ereev, and from hi tenive practice and nhservai ion in the great Hospitals i f Europe, and the first r. this country, vie: England, France, Philadelphia ..i; 1 ei-e-A lit re, is enabled to offer the most c.-r--., cpeedv ami effectual remedy in the .,.;. ; !' iii dis. ;i.t of itni-radcnee. dr.

Miss Dubarle was live and forty years of j age on the HUh of March, IS, well, no '. matter what year. And she was stout and 1 short, with ankles like pump handles and ; no visible w:ijst : and hands that were red ! and fat, instead of white and slender; and j features that belonged to no Grecian type j or Roman mould, but seemed to be setting up si tjinrrh, each on i:s own special nc- cotiut, whatever to the- others. For the I world is not altogether stocked with Ye I miser and Hebes, whatever the romance I writers would like to make us believe, and there is no reason why a plain female can i not be a heroine in spite of her looks. But we have not mentioned the most im portant fact of all. Miss Dubarle had for i ty thousand dollars of her own. And that was, without doubt, the rt-a-. son that her relatives sent her pressing in I vitations to 'come and visit them,' and dis ; patched cases of wine and hamners of game j o j and boxes of new books down to Dubarie ! Farm ; and the little girls worked hideous pincushions and tidies to decorate her ; rooms ; and young men wrote acrostics for her biithday, aud everybody listened politely to her speeches, however prolix they might be. For a rich old maid is worth cultivating, and it wasn't at all like ly, now, that Mis Dubiirb- would ever get married. It was a bleak October afternoon, the red and brown leaves whirling round and tou'.id in the blast, and the great wood fire : upon the hearth sending every now and j then, spiteful little gushes of smoke iuto j the room where Mss Dubarle and her ee- ! cond cousin and her companion. Janet ; Heath, sat together, working crochet roses for a counterpane. '.lam t,' said Mis Dubarle, politely. 'you're a fool.' ! Janet looked up with a flush f color on ; her pretty cheek. She was not at all accus tomed to these little complimentary re marks on ihe part of Miss Dubarle. 'Bi: a sensible girl,' added the elder ti' tualc. '(live him up, and I'll buy you a blue silk dress and a black lace shawl.' 'But I love him. Mis Dubarle.' 'Oh, psha-a-w !' grimaced the spinster. 'Love, indeed ! I never was in love !' 'And,' added Janet, growing more rosy lhan ever, as she stooped to pick up her ivory needle, 'he says he would be misera ble without me. Don't ph ase be angry, Miss Dubarle ; but indeed, indeed, I must ' marry him.' Miss Dubarle jumped up so suddenly that the dozing blackbird in its cage utter ed a shrill note of consternation, j 'Yery well,' she said "very well, Ja- net Heath. Pack your trunk as soon as i you plea.ic. 1 can dispense with your scr ! vices at once. And pack mine first, if you ' please, Janet Heath. I . vr:..i-.i..,.r.,'ji lu"'c B"'"K ,,..-....; queried poor Janet, in consternation. -,,.n (0 visit niy relatives ' said ,v n, ., J, ,. ' , Mrs. Dubarle. with purged lip hps. And then little Janet knew that her own fate, ! r - 1 n .T . I.T t. I as lar as any wonuij auvanianeg WOUiu ue ik rived from her kinship to the heire$?,was sealed. Tut in the black silk gown, Janet,' said Miss Dnharle, in a tone .19 lugubrious a3 if she were Riving orders for he r own fune-, ral. 'Of all sins, I regard ingratitude, as the Lasest ami the China crape scarf to think that 1 have nursed a viper to turn and stinj; me at last ! And uon t toret ! my easy slippers though I don't know ei- ther why my corns should be entitled to any more consideration than mv poor bruised heart.' And then, as Janet Heath began to cry, ; Miss Dubarle marched out of the room, j 'I never could endure the vipers,' said ' Miss Dubarle. Til go to my niece Maria, j or maybe I'll make Herbert Sniythe a little ' bit of a visit ; he's always saying how de lighted he would be to entertain me in his bachelor quarters. They both love me, although I haven't done half for them that I have for this little serpent's tooth of a Janet. I dare say she expected to be my heiress . but she'll find out her mistake, I ! guess.' t. : Aud Miss Dubarle, whw allowed o suns to go down on her wrath, took the first i train for Xew York, aud slept that night iu : a marble-fronted hotel. '1 did'nt think I should miss that child Janet so touch,' she said rather dolefully, j to herself, the next morning, as she tried j to comb out her tangled 'back-hair' and ; nearly strangled herself trying to button up ! her own boots 'but I don't dare ! I wont : give up to her love-sick whims, and I will ' "o to see Maria Jirooks aud Herbert Smythe. Maria's little girl wrote me a beautiful letter last month, and all out of ! her own head, her mother said. Let me see FJudocia her name was. Perhaps I'll adopt Eudocia.' Aud Miss Dubarle ordered a carriage and drove to the mansion of Mr. Secor Rrooks, on an aristocratic side street. 'They seem to live very nicely,' thought the rich relation. '1 didn't know Secor's income justified such style as this.' The servant showed Miss Dubarle into a reception room, furnished after the style of Louis Quinze. His mistress was out, but would return presently, he explained. 'I'll wait," said Miss Dubarle. A wizene little girl, with her hair braid ed in long Chinese plaits, aud chilldookicg elbows, was tinkling away at, the piano. She looked ai.mud as the guest entered. 'You are Eudocia. I suppose,' said Miss Dubarle atlably. 'Yes said the child. 'I'm Eudocia. And who are you ?' 'I am Dubarle,' said the heiress, gra ciously. You have heard your mamma j tell about Miss Dubarle, haven't you ?' 11 n i IhThi , tne oiu iahii! ? 'O, yes.' said J-,udoci her i-vcs liiihtinz up. 'You arc the mamma Miy is so out out 'Out of health ?' 'Xo s-irne very big word.' 'Outrageous V suggested Miss Dubarle, somewhat discomfited. 'Xo not that out'.oticWc .' Aud you're i going to die and leave me all your mouey, j and then we're going to travel iu Europe. But papa says ho dou't see but that you're going to hold on forever. What is it you ! art- hohlino on to. Miss Dubarle?' 'Heirs !' said Miss Dubarle. 'So your j mamma's k'md enough to consider me out j laudish. is she ?' I 'Ma in ma's goiug lo invite yon to visit j us,' vent on the unwisely communicative ! Eudocia, 'when the Fitz Roy Fortescues , are g"tie. she says she dou't want them to be shocked with your Xoah's ark ways, i I had a Xoah's ark once,' added the infant ' terrilk, 'with a dog in it, and Shcm, Ham and Japhet.' ' 'I dare say,' said Mif-s Dubarle, check j iug a strong inclination to laugh, although : she felt herself growing purple in the face . with indignation. I worn wait any lon ; per, Eudocia, good-bye.' . And Miss Dubarle shook the dust of the ! Secor Brooks' mansiou off her feet. 'A pretty hypocrite's nest I should have ' .r(,t jtito there ' she said half aloud, us she entered the vehicle she had been wise en- i ough to Lid wait. Manet Heath, with all ' her faults, was at least frank and truthful enough. Drive to twenty-seven Bachelor Square, coachman 1' Twenty-seven Bachelor Square was a tall, brown stoue building, full of studios, olliecs, and sets of chambers ; and Miss ' Dubarle was well nigh out of breath before t she reached a door at the very lop, on j which a card, neatly tacked, lniie the in ! seription, 'Herbert Smythe. Artist.' She beat a brisk tattoo on the panels with the handle of her sun umbrella, and a voice ' answered : : 'Come in.' But to her anntzement, the occupant of j tiiC apartment, instead of a young artist in a black relvet painting-robe, was a grim fe male, sitting very upright ou a Oothic bonnet ihair. with tattered "loves and a !x tit on the side. 'Is Mr. Smythe in ?' asked Miss Du bi rle. 'No.' answered the stony female : 'he ain't. But if you're wise you'll sit down, like me, and wait until he dots cme in 1 j 8'pse you've come after your bill ?' ! 'Have you .'' asked Miss Dubarle, taking j the first part of the hint, by depositing her- ; g(.if OI1 t,e sofa. j 'Yes-for the seventh time. He owes ; everybody- Smythe does. I'm his laund- n.ss ; but you can ask the landlord, and the wine merchant, and the tailor, and the hatter, and' Then,' curtly observed Miss Dubarle, 'I should think you were all great fools for titisting him.' 'So we be,' said the woman. grimly ; 'and I ain't a deny in' e.f that ; but you see he's kept us on the string all along with stories d his rich cousin. Miss Dubarle, as has' made her will in his favor, and is goin' to h ave him no end of mouey.' 'Oh!' said Miss Dubarle, rubbing her nose vehemently with the end of the sun umbrella handle. 'He says,' added the unconscious trait ress, 'that she's ns old as Mathuselah, and can't live but a few days anyhow ; but I for one don't believe a word of it. But you ain't agoin', be you ?' 'Yes,' said Miss Dubarle, risiug. 'Please to give him this card when he comes in, and tell him, if you like, the little conver sation we have had.' And she was nearly down stairs before the laundress, fitting ou a pair of silver bowed spectacles, had read the two words insciibcd upon the card : Misa Dubarle !' The heiress was very silent during her drive back to the hotel. Perhaps shewas engaged in rendering the funeral rites to her dear departed delusion !

RATTLE BETWEEX It EASTS. L TERRIFIC COMBAT LEETWEEX A MALE AND FEMALE RHINOCEROS. A desierate battle was f.iught on Friday between two of P. T. liarnura's rhinoce roses which had it not been for the success ful intervention of the keepers, whould have resulted in the death of one of the an imals. One of the combatants was a large male, weighing 4,o00 pounds, and the other a female, weighing :j,500 pounds. The fight resulted from an atempt of the keep ers to place the female in a poa with the male. The eagn containing the female was wheeled near the entrance ) 0 he pen, and the animal driven from one . ' the other, 1 uc ,nae became furious at tiiis intrusion, 1 ana' 1:1-'DS a9'de all galii-iuuj, charged Tac- -. , ., ...... tously upon the object of his wrath, driving i her into one corner of the cage. The fe male then faced her adversary and fought ' 1 1. i i . f ... onivry, anu was aoie to detenu nersell so long as she did uot expose her flanks to the enemy. In her struggles however, she was thrown, crosswise of the pen, when her opponent gored her fearfully in the side with his tusk, actually lifting her from the tloor. The struggles of the huge auimals was ac companied with loud roars, the tumult lie- ing augumented by the atlrightcd cries of j the other animals composing the menage rie, liie wasts tarew their combined weight against the bars of the cage, which threatened to break uuder so much strain. At length, after several desperate encoun ters, both brutes full back for a fresh on set, anrl then Mr. Fuller and his assistants I flung iu between the combatants a huge pile of lumber which they had collected and kept in waiting for this opportunity, pushed a broad board along the top of the barricade and hung a great piece of awuing over it. The efftct of this matneever was miraculous. The moment its enemy dis appeared from sight each animal appeared j to utterly from sight each animal appeared to utterly forget all about the late -uploa-i santness, and quietly lay down in its im j provised compartme-ut as though nothing whatever had happened to iriitate its ! pachydermatous feelings. The female I which, by the way, was the aggressor, aud is held entirely responsible for the row happened to lie down ou the sid of the pen near the door. The wheeled cage in which she had just completed a trip through the country, was soon rolled up to this door, and, after much coaxing and pilch-fork parsuation, she was induced to enter it, and was driven otF to a different corner of the building. It was found that her thick hide had been penetrated by the horn of her an tagonist in some twenty places, but none of the wounds are likely to prove serious. She laj quietly in her old cage for the re mainder of the day, and looked as if she considered herself well out of a disagreea ble business. The male rhinoceros received only two slight wounds, one under the ear and another on the hip. He was sentenced j to be kept standing up all day a punish- nient against which he remoustrated now and then, but lore pretty philosophically on the whole. While the combat lasted, the anxiety of the more intelligent keepers ; was ver great, though their presence of mind never deserted them for a moment. The solid iron bars of the cage were bent and twisted like wire, and its thick parti tion of stout three-inch plank were parted and nearly, the door on Twenty-sixth street would Lave lieen burst open, the great elephant (which had already made several angry demonstrations) would have taken . part in the fight and brought the other t- phants in with it, and there is no teliiug j i what the consequences might be. A single I one of those huge beasts in its fury could have smashed the cages of the other ani mals all to pieces in a few seconds, and the result would be appalling. That the other j auimals had a thorough appreciation of; of what was go ng on iu the cages of the rhinoceroses aud expected the war would exteud to their own premises, was pretty clearly shown by the large elephant, whose constant companion was a setter dog. Dur- j ing the fight this dog made several attempts to take a peep at the proceedings ; but on every occasion the elephant lifted her pro tege on her trunk, tenderly dropped him behind her, and stepped to the frout her-; self. About one o'clock the damaged cages and pens were all reti'.ted and strengthened, the bowlings had ceased, and the Hippo drome and its attachecs were ready to pro ceed with the afternoon performance. Xothing will sooner tempt a bachelor to abandon his resolution to marry than to sleep in the adjoining room to a couple with a colirkv babv. ! Munitions wi!h !ftrks-A Little Gooil Advice. j If you have any business with a b-.uk, pul ; it off until : o'clock, or if possible a little i later, it Lv.ts more Lusinps like lo rush in just as the L.ir.k i el -iing. .Never put stamps on yoer checks before yru get to ih bank, but give the Teller two cent nnd ask him to li-k it and caneel il for you ; ;! c Tel! r .-xpets lo lir-k all 0m Stamp', uri i j i souii'i' uf i!iap:;--i!i'ito-iit to hiii! Wiir-n iH'opIe insist on doing it Them selves. In depositing money, try aud get it up- sidedowu and wrong end foremost, so that the Teller may have a little exercise in straightening it cp before counting it. j It is best not to take your bank Iwok with you, but call at another time to have it enteied, yon can thus make two trips to ! the bank where ore would answer. If a check is made payable to your order, be careful not to endorce it before handing it to the Teller, but let him return it to you and wait while you endorce it ; this helps pass the time and is a pleasure and relief to the Teller. You can generally save time when making a deposit by counting your mony down to the Teller, as you can nearly always couut more spcedly and correctly than he can. If you make a deposit of one hundred dol lars and give a check for fifty, it is good thing to call frequently at the bank and ask how your account stands, as it impresses the officers favorably with your business qualifications. Xcver keep any record of when your nots fall due, aad then if they are protested censure the bank for not giving you notice. Always date your checks ahead.it is a never-failing sign that yon keep a good balance in bank, or if you do not wish it generaly known that you are doing a good business, do not deposit your mony until about the time you expect your check will be in. A strict observance of the foregoing rules will make your account desirable for any bank, and make you a general favorite with all bank ofllcers. Cure for Drcxkenxess. If the fol lowing is an effectual cure for this terrible disease,it should find a place in the columns of every paper in the country. Drunken ness is not only a disease calamity more fearful in its effects, than any that has ever sconrged mankind : There is a curious prescription in Eng land for the cure of drunkenness, by which thousands are said to have been assisted iu recovering themselves. The recipe came into notoriety through the ciITts of John Vide HalL lather uf the Rev. Xev.men Hall aud Captain Vine Hall, commander of the Great Eastern steamship. He had fallen into such habitual druukenuess that " his utmost efforts to regain himself proved unavailing. At length he sought the advice of an eminent physician, who gave him a prescription which he followed faithfully for several months, and at the cud of that time he had lost all desire for liquors, al though he had for many years been led cap tive by a most debasing appetite. The recipe, which he afterwards published, and by which so many have been assisted to re form, is as follows : "Sulphate of irn, ." grains ; magneasia, 10 grains ; pepperraent water,ll grains; spiiit of nutmeg, 1 drachoj ; to be taken twice a day." This prepara tion acts as a tonic and stimulant, and sa partly supplies the place of the accustomed liquor, and prevents that absolute physical and moral prostration that follows a sud den breaking off from the use of stimula ting drinks. The Tower of London. The Tower of London is locked upevery night at eleven o'clock. As the clock strikes that hour the yeoman porter, clothed in a long red cloak, bearing a huge bunch of keys, and accom panied by a warder carrying a lantern, stands at the iron of the main guard-house aud calls out. 'F.scort keys.' Tha sar gents of the guard and live or six men then turn out and follow him to the outer gate, each sentry challenging as they pass with 'Who gi)cH there ? the answer being 'Keys.' The gates being '-arefuliy locked and bar red, the procession returns, the sentries ex acting the same explanation and receiving the same answer as before. Arrived once more at the front of the main guard-liouw, the sentry gives a loud stamp with his fiot. and asks. Who ges there'" 'Keys.' 'Whose keys V '(Juecii Victoria's key.' and all's well.' The yeoman porter then calls out, 'Cod bless (,tieen Victoria.' To which the guard responds 'Amen.' Tho officer on duty gives the word, 'Present arms,' and kisses the hilt of his sword, and the yeoman porter then marches alone across the parade and deposito the keys in the lieutenant's lodgings. A Kansas paper tells this, at the ex pense of Jim Barndoll.ir, of the Osagn Agency : Jim h id setit hi washing to a fvll-blooded Osage juaw, who was t- have it done and firing i: h"ir.e on Satur day night.

In the meantime he had sent word to hid washerwoman to 'bring home them shirts.' He had just got comfortably seated in the church, and the grave minister had opened in rhunder tones on sinners generally, when in stepped a big Osage Indian with a package under his blanket, who liegan making unintelligible signs to our friend.
