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

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.

Miss IuharleM Itrlntites.
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 !
All that she said to hereif n n; contain
ed in orif sen le nee.

Janet started to her feet with a slight cry.
'Don't be alarmed,' said Miss Dubarle.
j stroking the soft brown hair with a kindly.
reassuring toucii. 'I've come back to you,
Janet Heath, for I believe, in spite of "eve
rything, you are the truest friend I've got,
and that you love me after all.'
Indeed, indeed, Miss Dubarle, I do!'
sobbed Janet, with her old foolish trick of
J tears.
; 'And so,' said Miss Dubarle vou can

can come here to live, and we'll all lie a
..; happy family together. Untie my bonnet

j So Miss Dubarle settled back into the old
groove again, and when the letters from
X'ew York came ihe sent them back un
opened. And when Mr. Herbert Scythe
and the S;cor I.rooks family arrived in
2rrn'(! jvrgrmn she obstinately refused to

'I won't be bothered.' said Mim Tin.

A desierate battle was f.iught on Friday

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,

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.

.Never put stamps on yoer checks before

il for you ; ;! c Tel! r .-xpets lo lir-k all 0m

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-

day night. Tin- .-(pi r .v failed to fulfil Ihe
contract, however, pud on Sunday Jim had
to goto church wi: h the same shirt he
wore duiiug ibe week. 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. Jim appeared to take
im notice id his preencc, however, until by
his audible whipers and frantic? gesticula
tions the. Indian had attracted the atten
tion of the entire congregation, and flirty
horrified our hero by drawing forth a shirt
with a somuiugiy clean front, several pairs
of eocks, and other things that go to com
plete a fashionable? young man's wardrobe.
This was too much for him, and he imme
diately arose, and beckouing the persistent
laundry clerk out, he then and there ex
hausted both the English and Osage vocab
ulary of epithets after which he took charge
of the clothes and told the dtpdsey warrior
to go his way.
