Decay aud Death. A CURE WARUANTED IN TWO DAYS. Persons ruined in health by unlearned preteu ilers who keep them trifiinc month after mouth, Caking poisonous and iujurious compounds, should apply immediately. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lou don, Graduated from one of the most eminent t'ol'eges in the United Slates, and the greater j.art of whose ife has been sieut in the hospitals of Lnndou, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, has effected some of the most astouishing cures toat were ever known ; many troubled with ring ing lu the head and ears when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden rounds, bashfu'.uess, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of miud, were cured immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. i. addresses all those who have iujurrd themselves by improper indulgence and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for cither bnsiuess, study, society or ruar rinire. These are some of the sad and melancholy effects produced by early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the Buck and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dvspepsy, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con sumption, fcc. MESTaixi The fearful effects on the mind are mnch to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c., are some of the evils produced. Thousands of person 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 appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump tion. YOUNG MEN Who have injured th mselves by a certain prac tice indulged In when alone, a habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at scheol, the -Uects of which are nightly felt, even when usleep, aud if not cured, renders marriage impos tible, and destroys both mind and body, should apply immediately. What a pity thut a young man, the hope of his country, the darling f his parents, should be uatclici from all prospects and enjoyment of life, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature and Indulging in a certain secret habit. Such person must before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness, ludeed without these, the journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage j the prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly reflection, that the happiues of another becomes blighted with our own. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds that he ha Imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often happen that an Ill-timed 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 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 frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the booes of the nose fall in, and the victim of this awful disease become a horrid object of commiseration, till death put a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending him to that Undiscovered Country from whence no traveller returns." It is melancholy fact that thousand DIE victim to this terrible disease, through falling Into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution, and Incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer month after month taking their nox ion or In jurious compounds, aud instead of being restored to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des pair leave hi in with ruined Health to sigh over liis galling disappointment. To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and from his extensive practice and observations n the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first in this country, viz : England, France, Philadelphia and elsewhere, Is enabled to offer the most cer tain, speedy and effectual remedy iu the world for all diseases of imprudence.

T'was evening, and before my eves There lay a landscape gray and dim ; Fields faintly seen and twilight skies And cloud's that hid the hyrizon's brim. I saw or was it that I dreamed T A waking dream ? I cannot say ; For every shape as real seemed A those that meet my eye to-day. Through leafless shrubs the cold wind hissed ; The air was thick with falling snow ; And onward, through the fiozen mist, I saw a weary traveler go. Driven o'er that landscape bare and bleak, Before the whirling guests of air, The snow-flakes smote his withered check, And gathered on bis silver hair. Yet on he fared through blinding shows, And murmuring to himself lie said ;" "The night is near, the darkuess grows, And higher rise the drifts I tread. 'Deep, deep each Autumn flower they hide ; Each tuft or green they whelm from sight ; Aud they who journeyed by my side Are lost in the surrounding uight. "I loved them ; oh, no words can tell Tbe love that to my friends I bore ; We parted with the sad farewell Of those who part to ineH no more. "And I, who face this bitter wind, And o'er these snowy hillocks creep, Must end my journey soon aud find A frootly couch, a frozen sleep," As thus he spoke, a thrill of pain Shot to my heart ; I closed my eyes, And wheu I opened them again I started with aglad surprise. 'Thus evening still, and in the west A flush ot glowing crimson lay, I saw the morrow there und blest That promise of a glorious day. The waters, in their glassy sleep, Shone with the hues that tinged the sKy, And rugged clifTacd barren sleep Gleamed with a brightness from ou high. And oue was there whose journey lay Into the slowly gathering night ; With steady step he held his way O'er shadowy vale aud gleaming height. I marked his firm though weary tread, The lifted eye aud brow serene, And saw no shade of doubt or dread Pass o'er that traveler's placid mien. And other came, their journey o'er, Aud bade good uight, with words of cbcer ; "To-morrow we shall meet once more ; 'lis but the uight that parts us here." 'And I," he said "shall sleep, ere long Thcee fading gleam will oon be gone Shall sleep, to rise, refreshed aud strong, In the bright day thut yet will dawu." I heutd ; I watched him as he went, A lessening form, until tlie 1 ight Of evening from the tlrmuinent Had passed, aud he was lost to sight. CAN'T AFFORD IT. I tell you uucle Josh, I can't afford it. Girls nowadays are so extravagant, that it fairly terrifies a man contemplating matri mony. There is favorite Miss Hartley; she declared to me, in strictest confidence, last evening, that she couldn't imagine how any one could exist without the opera. And not a week Tigo I kuow of her men tioning an India shawl as a positive ne cessity for alady's wardrobe.' 'Mere girlish exaggeration, Will. She has always had a rich father to pay her bills.' And naturally will expect a rich hus band to do the same. If I had Mr. Hart ley's hank account, the matter would be different ; but though my salary is good, my ineome independent of that is small. II I provide India shawls and opera tickets without limit to the future Mrs. Stanton, I can scarcely meet expenses, if 1 do not ac tually run in debt. Now I am quite resolv ed to save a little every year till I own a home, and can start in business for my self.' 'A good wife would help you, Will.' 'But where is she to be found V Uncle Josh chuckled at the idea of his giviug information on the subject, aud the gentlemen haviug linished their prepara tions for departure started for their place of business. Uncle Josh was the cashier, and his ne phew clerk, iu a large retail dry goods store, but the elder geutlemau possessing ample means, employed his time, not from ueceebity, but from a horror of idleness. He boarded, as did his nephew, at a fash ionable boarding house in Brooklyn, cross ed the ferry every niorniug for the store in New York. Handsome, well conducted and well ed ucated. Will Stanton was a favorite in so ciety, aud tlie fact that his bachelor uncle was fond of him, was no drawback to his popularity. Many a giilish heart fluttered when he drew near, and Uncle Josh was quite eloquent ou the charms of matrimo ny, and a home for Will, where lie might share the domestic circle. On the morning when the gentlemen held the conversation recorded above. Will found his services required as a salesman, owiug to the illess of oue of the men in the silk department. He had served in the mine capacity before, though he held a more lucrative position in the counting house ; but stepping behiud the counter he fouud already a few fair customers in the store. Two ladies, youug aud pretty, re quired liis services at once. 'Evening silks, if you please,' said oue, a tall, very stylish-lookiug girl, dressed in exquisite Loste, and with rich garments, 'Show me some of the new shades.' Several pieces of the shining fabric were unrolled, nn Will noted the fact that both ladies seemed equally interested in the choice of a dress. But the companion of the stylish girl who had first spoken was far more quiet thau her friend, in voice, manner and dress ; while every detail of her ueat walking suit was perfect in finish, fitting her exquisitely, and was tasteful and simply elegant. Will's experienced eyes told him that the cost was less than half of the companion's, and yet she seemed equally well dressed, setting aside that one item of expense. A cloth cloak instead of a velvet ; a dress of line French poplin, in stead of silk ; a collar and cuffs of embroi dered linen, instead of real lace ; kid gloves of dark serviceable lint instead of pale buff ones, and furs less expensive than the real ermine of her friend, all left a large balance in her favor, while her appearance was lady-like and refined. 'Oh, Vinnie,' said her compauiou, 'this shade of sage will suit you perfectly. Iam not fair enough to wear it, but it is a lovely tint for a blond. Don't look any further for "ilk,' 1875. 'I am not going to get a new silk, Mar cia.' 'Xot get a ncv silk for Mrs. Hartley's party ! Why, Vin., it will be one of the most dressy occasions of the season. You have never been at one of Floy Hartley's parlies ?' 'No; Miss Hartley is a recent acquain tance.' 'Then take my advice and get a hand some dress. You have no idea how much they dress there.' 'I can't afford if, Mama.' 'Oh, nonsense I' 'But it is a fact. I have been out so much this winter that my allowance will not last me until spring nnless I am very economical.' 'Ask for more. I never pretended to keep within my allowance.' 'I am saving for a new piano, and I can not afford any extravagance.' 'But what will you wear ?' 'I have a new white organdie that Aunt Kate gave me last summer, that I did not need, so it has not been made up. I shall make it so that it will serve me afterward as a summer dress.' 'O, Vin ! Vin 1 As if your father would not give you twenty new dresses if you ask ed for them 1' 'I know. he would, but he gives me a lib eral allowance, and I find it sufficient with a margin for saving.' AH the above conversation carried on in a low tone, was apparently unheard by the smiling clerk, whose quick ear had, howev er, caught every word of it. He looked again at the sweet-faced little lady, resolv ing that Floy Hartley should introduce him at the parly, for which his card of in vitation had already been received. .'Come, Vinnie, give me the benefit of your taste,' said Marcia ; 'I am tired of all the bright colors that suit my Indian style of beauty. Is there not, one of those deli cate lints that I could wear ?' 'The peach blossom, Marcia, with black lace. If you will come over 1 will show you a new fold for trimming.' 'Oh, Madame B will make it up handsomely. I never make an evening dress, do you ?' 'I make all my dresses. I took lessons of a first rate dressmaker on purpose.' 'You like the peach-blossom ?' 'I do,' holding it against her companion's shoulder. 'It is certainly becoming. Not so glaring as a pink, but as pretty. Your black lace overdress will be lovely with it.' 'I shall have an overskirt of the same, with a new thread lace trimming. I teas ed pa out of a new drese this morning, and I mean to have the full benefit of his gene rosity. Twenty-five yards,' she added to the clerk, and Will measured off the dress. He saw the ladies going from counter to counter, and the hour being still early, had leisure to saunter about a little, marking Vinnie's purchase of blue ribbons and her care iu selecting what was of good quality her selection of gloves, aud her unselfish inlerest in her friends purchase, from the dress and thread lace to tbe gloves and a costly web of a handkerchief. Evidently Miss Marcia intended that her father should indeed supply an entire new dress. There was a discussion over some exqui site new fans, a recent importation exqui sitely displayed by a clerk. Vinnie's qui et 'can't afford it,' was proof against temp tation, but Marcia added a white feather fau of dainty beauty to her list of pur chase. Floy Hartley was rather surprised that Will Stanton, who was a favorite of her father's, while she had won Uncle Josh's heart, never paid her those marked atten tions that were so cvideutly the desire of the old gentleman. But her surprise was changed to chagrin when he asked a spe cial introduction to Miss Vinnie Uolway, aud was that young lady's devoted cava lier for the evening of Miss Hartley's par ty. 'The young lady in white with blue rib bons ?' she had said iu answer to his re quest ; 'that is Miss Uolway, a school mate of Marcia Livingstone's. I have met her at the Liviugst me's, but am not very well acquainted. Marcia tells me her fa ther is quite well off, but has a very large family.' All this Will found later was true. There was a large family, aud Vinnie was the very sunshine of home. Well educated herself, she was always ready to assist the younger ones in iheir studies. With nim ble lingers, traiued to work, she saved her father many dollars by her ability to cut and fit dresses, and her willinguess to im part some of her knowledge to her sisters. A neat housekeeper she spared her mother time for reading,or refct. And yet she was no drudge. In society she was always appro priately and tastefully dressed. She was a good pianist, and sung well in a clear, cul tivated voice. She was well read, and kept up an intelligent interest in all current to pics, conversing easily, though modestly. Will found that at every visit to" Mr. Holway's pleasant sitting-room increased his distaste for boarding-house life, and his love for pretty Vinnie Uolway, till he found himself in serious consultation with uuch Josh agaip. So it is uot my pet, Floy Hartley,' said the old gentleman. 'It would serve you right if.I married her myself.' 'I will give my consent,' Will said, smil ingly. 'No, my boy, uo 1 You and your pretty Vinnie must fill my old heart, as you have promised me a corner in your home long years ago. Will, when my hair was as brown as your own, and my eyes as bright, I, too, had my love dream. I was a coun try boy then, and to own a farm was the very height of my ambition. I was work ing hard for a farmer named Nelsou, for I had no pareuts, when their came to visit my employer a cousin from the great city of New York. In those days, Will, New York seemed farther away from the small country place than Europe seems now. The adveut of Josephine Nelson was an advent in our village, and here beauty aud grace were fully appreciated by all the rough bumpkins around her. Working her cousin's farm, I was constantly near her. I drove her if she wished, to see the surrounding scenery, and as wejolted over the rough couutry roads she told me of the great city, of the openings their for energy, industry and talent. She found I was fond of reading, and lent me volumes of poetry she had brought with ber from the city. Books were rare treasures forty years ago, Will. We read the sweet measured lines together ; wt walked together in shaded lanes; and I gathered wild flower which she wore In her boaorn and hair. To New Series, Vol. 6, No. 45. 1 Old Series, Vol. 35, No. 15. make a long story short, Will I loved her with all the wild enthusiasm of a boy, and the natural reason of a man. She was far above me in grace, in beauty and goodness but she was gentle as she was fair, modest, and tender 'When I told her my love she Jaid her little white hand m mJ rough brown one and promised to be my wife. Then she came home to the city, and I added dollar after dollar to my board, to follow her. Mr. Nelson wrote to Josephine's father for me, and he promised me a place in his countingbouse if I came to the city. I came, Will. Then I found out why my suit was favored, why do cross was laid upon my darling's love. I had thought her pale face, delicate beauty was only the city's refinement, compared with the robust charm of our country lasses. I found that it was the beauty of that ecorge of the sea side cities comsunipliou. Her parents knew my darling could not live to be my bride, b ut becanse she had given me the treasure of her love, they made me welcome as a son in their home. . .. I spent my days in the counting house of Mr. Nelson, my evenings with Josephine. Slowly she faded before my loving eyes, growing weaker and weaker, till she died, clasping my baud in hers. That was for ty years ago. Will, but I have loved no woman since. I will keep faith with Jos ephine till we meet in heaven. When I die Will , all I have will be yours, but bury this with me.' As he spoke he put a small locket that had been hidden in bis bosom, into Will's hands. Opening it disclosed the face of a very beautif ul woman. At the sight of it Will cried 'How much like Floy Hartley !' 'Mrs. Hartley is Josephine's sister,' said Uucle Josh, quietly. 'Now you know why I am so fond of Floy.' There was a long silence, and Uncle Josb knew me by Will's face and the firm grasp of his hand that his story had fallen upon sympathizing affection. 'Come,' he said cheerfully, after a long pause. 'It Miss Uolway has actually ac cepted, I must see about a wedding present.' 'She act ually has,' said Will, 'and the money saved for a piano is to go for a truos seau.' 'Is that a hint for me to buy a piano I' laughed Uncle Josh. 'Well, I wil!.'. But when tbe wedding-day was fixed, and Will consulted Uncle Josh about a house, he was informed that Mrs. Stanton's wedding present from her new nncle would be a neat brown stone house fully furnished including the piano, with one room reserved for Uncle Josh. There are children's voices now in the hansonie house, and Uncle Josh has stood godfather to a sturdy namesack. The sun of prosperity shines upon Will, but he says his busiuefs sued ss, his happy home, his freedom from worldly perplexities, have all depended upon the good sense of his wife, who in all expenditures, ail charities, first considers whether or not she can afford tbe outlay ; and while she is liberal and large hearted, is never ashamed to exercise econ omy, if uecessary, or to decdie on extrava eauce. fHiscdtancons. Bcsybodies. It is a lamentable fact that upon this 'mundane sphere,' there exisU a certain class of individuals whose whole aim in life is to act spy upon the movements of their fellow-creatures. Their eager eyes are ever on the alert to discuss the faults of those around them, and when tbey have succeeded in their efforts, they brood over them until the weight of thought becomes a burden, and off they go to their neighbors to relieve their hearts and brains, (if they have any,) add a little more to what they have found out. and are sure to exact a promise from the astonished listen er 'not to tell until you find out for your self.' Unburdened, they return home only to tell 'all about it' to the first visitor. The amount of mischeif made by such despicable busybodies is beyond computa tion. ' Characters have beeu ruined, family peace and happiness have been destroyed, hearts have been crushed and heads bowed down by that detested, always-to-be-avoided class of beings, busybodies. They mind everybody's business but their own, (and in all instances such folks have as much as thev can do to mind their own affairs,) and strauge, but true, they know u& much of other people's business as the latter do themselves. Is there a new arrival in tbe immediate neighborhood, tbe busybody, all politeness and smiles, smirks and bows herself iu to fell them about the folks, with whom they should associate, and what persons should be avoided ;-finds out all that is to be found out, takes her bundle of information and leaves, only to unwrap it before ihe eyes of her co- partners. Like envy, busybody is despited, abhorred whercever she goes, people unlike her, avoid her as the would a pestilence. What a happy, lovcable world this would be if every one would mind their own busi ness and let other people's alone. Hawtuore. Immortality after 18S9, Mr. Wood ruff, of Grand Rapids, Mich., has publish a pamphlet in which he says information has been communicated to him in a vision, of great physical chauges to take place on the earth 15 years hence lie declares that during twenty-ona days, commencing Jan uary 20, 1889, a new planet will be formed from a belt of matter thrown off from the sun, and a new moon from a belt'of matter now surrounding the earth, and that our present moon will then be pushed further off. That the earths atmosphere will be purified by the change' and that sickness from natural causes will theuceforth be unknown. The chances are that all of us who can manage to prolong our existence until 1SS9, will be in a position to live fo. ever. 'Timothy Titcomb' says : 'Whenever any pure, true, good woman marries a man whom she loves' she gives herself to him. lie owns her as no other man on the face of the earth does or can.' Mrs. Evermore in commenting upon this statement, re marks : 'I believe it. But I believe some thing else that whenever any pure, true, and good man marries a woman he loves, he gives himself to her. She owns him as no other woman on the face of the earth can own him. That is my theory of mar riage.' Man's view of marriage combined with woman's view makes a very perfect theory.

How a Maine Printer was made a Man or. Several years ago a slabsided, awkward printer boy from Maine fonnd his way to Washington in search of an easy place.' Tom Ewing was then Secretary of the Interior. He was also uncle of our gawky place hunter. To him the young ster naturally applied for assistance in get ting the desired information. This was the eucouragiog answer he received from Ewing : 'I will not get you a place in any.ot the departments. Moreover, if you find a place and go to work, I will use all my in fluence to have you dismissed. I want you to get out of Washington. I am not going to have you made into a limp and helpless nonentity if I can help it. Go anywhere else, go to the devil if you like ; you shan't stay in Washington.' This inspiritinz counsel drove' tlie prin ter youth back to Maine again. Had Ew ing found him the desired 'place,' be would to-day be tying tape around bundled docu ments, or sticking official stamps on some body else's letters, in one of tlie depart ments : an inert human routine machine. But the uncle's sensible brusqueness was the nephew's salvation. Tbe name of that discouraged young applicant was James G. Blaine, present Speaker or the House of Representatives. Washington Corves.

Then he called for police, and when the police came he called them liars and such. 'I was having a little fun,' he explained, winking at his Honor. 'John Robinson, are yon aware that this is a very solemn world, said the Court, 'a world which has ten heart aches to one smile ? Don't you know that the grim shadow of grief rests upon every door step, and that the tombstones in the cemeteries almost outnumber the trees in the forest ? There's wailing in every household, John Robiuson there's grief in every heart. And yet you claim that you were only hav ing a little fun I' 'That's all, your Honor ; it was a holi day.'

Prof. El S. Morse. ; Something About Yocbself. Sup posing your age to be fifteen or there-about, I can figure you up to a dot. You have 246 bones and 500 muscles; your blood weighs twenty-five pounds ; your heart is five inches in length and three inches in diameter ; it beats seventy times per min ute, 4200 times per hour, 100,800 times per day, and 36,722,200 times per year. At each beat a little over two ounces of blood is thrown out of it, and each day it receives and discharges about seven tons of that wonderful fluid. Your lungs inhale 24,000 gallons per day. Tbe aggregate surface of air cells of your lungs, supposing them to bo spread out, exceeds 20,000 square inches. The weight of your brain i9 three pounds ; when you are a man it will weigh about eight ounces more Your nerves exceed ten thousand in number. Your skin is composed of three layers, and varies from one-fourth to one-eighth of an inch in thickness. The area of your skin is about 1700 square inches, and you are subject to an atmospheric pressure of fifteen pounds to the square inch. Each square inch of your skin contains 3500 sweating tabes or perspiratory pores, each of which may be likened to a little drain tile one-fourth of an inch long, making an aggregate length of the entire surface of the body, of 201,160 feet, or a tile ditch for draining the body forty miles long. A man and his wife, unhappily mated. were continually fighting, although she did all she could to prevent it, and used to reason with him, and try to have him govern his hasty temper. He, on the other hand, contended that she was all to blame, and so the war went ou, with only short Nervals of peace. One day she was talk ing with, and trying to show him how un reasonable he was, and said : Why, even the cat and dog live more happily together than we do. Now look them. Why shonld we not live as peacefully as they do ?' 'Probably we r.ould,' growled the hus nud. 'They are peaceful enough now. but let some busybody come along and tio them together as we arc, and then 3ee how quick they would make fiddle strings of each other.' The argument was so much to the point. and so very true to nature, that his wife gave it up, and Uiey stil growl and fighjt. West Chester girls won't let "a bean stay aaer ten o'clock.
