TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all tho. who have uijurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary

them for eit her business, study, society or mar

Whut a pity that a youug tuau, the hope of his

CARRIAGE,
rctleel that a sound miud and body are the tuos1
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage; the prospect
hourlv darkens to the ticw; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair aud tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happines- of another
becomes blighted with onrown.
a CERTAIN DISEASE.
Wheu the misguided and imprudent votary o!
pleasure Buds that he has imbibed the seeds ol
this painrul disease, it too often haptens that an
ill-timed sense of 6hauie, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education aud respectability, can alone befriend
liitii, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol
this horrid disease make tneir appearance, sucn
i ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, uodes 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 bones of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful diaease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a i-eriod to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Counlr . from whenc
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fat that thousand DIE
victims to this terrible diseae, through falling
into the bands of Ignorant or unski'lfui PRE
1 ENDERS, who, by the use of that deadiy Poi
son, Mercury, &.C., destroy the constitution, and
nieapahle of curing, keep the unhappv sutlcrer
twomh aft-r month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and iusiead of being restored
to a renewal of Lite Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave hitn with ruined Health to sigh ovei
bis galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable secrecy, and
from hi" extensive practice aud observations in
the yreat Hospitals of Euro)c, and the first it:

MORNING. MARCH 26. 1875.
s
The Origin or Odd Fellowship.
A seraph was sent from the realms of the blest.
To plaut hope and joy iu the weary one's breast
To comfort the mourner, to solace the sad,
To bid the beurt-stricken look up and be clad.
And it came, with the bauuer of Lore all nu
furled, Unstained and trlum bant to wave o'er the
world ;
And the motto there blazon by spirits above
Was the heavenly watchword, ''Truth Friend
ship and Love."
It came to the lone one, whose soul's polar star
Shone fading and dim from its oibit afar ;
Aud whose quivering light but revealed tue deep
gloom
That hung like a spell o'er the path to the tomb;
And it taught the lone wanderer to murmur a
prayer
Which would break the dark spell of his deepest
despair ;
And it brought to his heart the bright hope of his
youth,
And lowly it whispered, "Love, Friendship and
Tiuth."
Il came to the arguished, who comfortless wept
O'er the graves of the lost ones who wakelessly
slept ;
It bowed o'er the couch of the suffering one,
Ere the last fading sands of bis being had run ;
With its wing brushed the tear from the sorrow
ing eye,
And with whispers of love soothed his deep
agony ;
And its holiest wa'chwnrd was that sunn above,
And traced on its banner, "Truth. Fricdshipand
Love."
And onward and brighter stiil grew its career,
Atfiroothingly sweet fell its voices of cheer
The gay and glad-hearted their warblings would
cease,
To fervently bless that bright spirit of peace ;
And even the children would turn from their
To beg the fair seraph no farther to stray ;
And the old were renewed and ugain as iu youth
Acknowledged the power of "Love, Friendship
and Truth."
And thus blest and blessing, it rushed on and on !
Till its wandei inirs were ended the victory won !
And the voice of its maker fell sweet on its ear :
1 hou hast finished, return to thy glorious sphere.
Yet stay thee, bright spirit, ere yet thou shall
come,
Let thy banner wave freely o'er man's earthly
home ;
Let the sons of the earth In their pilgrimage
prove
The sweeliwas and power of "Truth, Friendship
r.nd Love."
The glad serapn fulfilled its high mission, and
gave
Its banner unsoiled to the honest and brave.
Long ages have flown, aui that flag is no more ;
But still undaun'.e( is the mutlo il bore.
'Tis writ on the heart for aye to remain,
And dwells in the links of lite Odd Fellow's

'And what is that, pray ?
'The drawback is that, iu case she mar

'I ever could marry her, Avenel, with
or without proviso,' said Henry.
'I was not aware that you was engaged.'
'I am not engaged, llut I am poor, and
I would not be guilty f lne meanness of
even seeming to marry for money. And I
surely would not be the means of bringing;
a splendid woman like her down to my
level of penury.'
'That last would be very unpleasant, I
confess. But I cannot see any meanness in
a man marrying a rich wife, if be can love
her well enough. And I don't think she
would be very hard to love, do you V
'1 cannot tell, I am sure, never having
tried,' said Heniy with great frigidity.
Hi-nrv Percival was very proud. He in
herited pride from his mother, who, hav
ing married against the wishes of her
family, and been cast off by them ou that
account, had refused to mention them, even
to her son.
'You ueed ask mc no questions about
my family, IleDry,' she would say, coolly,
in reply to his questions ; they are nothing
to you. Your lathe' name, ai.d the ad
milted talents you inherit from him, are
quite sufficient to you. And you have, be
sides, your mother's love and prayers -your
mothei, who takes pride iu no other
name than Percival.'

tie
house, at a rate of salary that did not, cei
Uinly constitute afllueuce, but with frugali
ty, was quite suflicient for his mother's
and his owu modest needs.
What ill lortuue, Henry wondered, had
brought him to Long Beach to spend his
., . 1
summer vacation - mere to meet. iaauc
Buuvard ? Nobody but himself knew,
. a -.
thank lortune. what a tool lie was. iui nt
knew that he loved that 'bright particular
star.' that shone as far above his reach as
Bertram did above the fair Helena's.
Well, he could keep his owu counsel, al
any raie ; tuts ne was ucicnmueu upou.
His mother had proved that she could keep
a secret, and il would go hard if he could
not.
Henry stood upon the beach, watching
h company with his friend Avenel. the
crowd of morning bathers. Such a sight is
peuerally neither highly romantic, nor
highly picturesque, though here and there
a bathing costume is sometimes seen that
ptoduces the latter effect. Such a one at
least was Isabel Banvard'a this brilliant
August morning. Her glorious black eyes
glowed all the darker for the contrast be
tween them and the bright btrd-of-para-dise-colored
robe she wore, which also
brought into the most charming relief her
clear olive complexion and dark bands of
rippling hair. Henry's heart gave a great
leap as he saw her disporting iu the water ;
but he frowned, and turned his eyes away,
whistling unconcernedly.
'There's the splendid creature,' said
Avenel ; 'more gorgeous than the lillies of
the field.'
'I saw her, if you meau Mrs. Banvard,'
said l'ervtcal, with superior sang froid,
'Look, Avenel S can you see that ship in
the distance V Aud he strained his shaded
eyes, as though in that ship centered all
his hopes.
'Ship ? No; what are all the ships on
the sea to a glorious woman like that?
Just look at her now, as she swims !'
It was iudeed a fine sight to see that
graceful form, in its brilliaut bathing dress,
gliding in and out among the waves, like a
goldeu-backed dolphio at play. Henry
gazing on the vision, forgot to dissimulate
forgot that his eyes were to be schooled
to hide the teeliiK'S of the heart. He for
got every thing tiil Avenel touched him on
the arm.
'Henry, has she completely bewitched
you ? I have spoken to you twice, and you
have not answered me.'
Percival turned to answer, feeling a
blush creep over his usually pale face, and
inwardly iuvoking a malison upon his old
telltale blood ; when, all at once a fearful
cry, loud and ominious, crossed upon the
air.
He turned again toward the bathers. The
golden-backed dolphin had disappeared,
and there was a great and horrified cry of
'The under-current! the under-current!'
Percival was an expert swimmer. In an
instant bis coat was thrown aside, and he
was in the midst of the breakers, dashing
away wildly towards the object of his love
and solicitude. Once before he reached
the spot where she had disappeared be
caughl a glimpse of the bright yellow dress
she wore, then lost it. theu caught it again,
grasped it, and with it under the greedy
wave. But he was strong of arm aud warm
'if heart. He emerged ftoru the treacher
ous waters, bearing ou one arm the appar
ently lifeless form of her he had risked his
own life to save.
Two days after this occurrence Heury
Percival was pacing the moonlit beach
alone. The surf was rolling finely, throw
ing back the pallid lays of the queen ol
night, aud scattering spray in drops of
silver dew. Henry did not see all this
beauty ; his face was shadowed by a frown.
'Why did I ever come here ?' he asked
himself impalieutly. 'And why, now that
I have made a public - pectacle of myself,
do I uot leave ? Everybody saw me kiss
her as I brought her out of the water, aud
the uews of my absurd presutuptiou is sure
to reach her ears. To-morrow morning.
Henry Percival, you take the boat for
""u"rrw morning, n,ind, before
her appearauce oul of doors.' And the
young man certainly meant what he said.
He looked up from his survey of the
rands as be said this, his eye seeking the
direction of Juw window. He did nol see
the wiudow, however, for there, riht be
fore him, wrapped iu luxurious shawls,
and leaning on the arru ot a lady's maid,
stood her smiling aud blushing self.
'Mr. Percival,' said she, holding out her
hand, 'I have found you at last. But.
having fouud you, I am at a loss how to
thunk you for so inestimable a thing as my
life.'
The teais shoue iu her beautiful dark
eyes. Percival could have kissed them
away willingly, but he assumed as much
indifference as he could.
I am not aware, Mrs. Banvard he said,
that I am entitled to any gratitude. I was
simply fortunate enough to be the only one
to rescue you.'
'You were 'fortunate enough' to be the
only one to try, as I happen to know,' said
she, a little embarrassed by his chilling
manner. I insist upon thanking you, and
claiming not only your acquaintance, but
your friendship.'
'My friendship, I fear, Mrs. Banvard,
would not be of much benefit to you. I '
'Will you give me your arm Mr. Perci
val ? I have a fancy to aigue that point
with you.'
She took his arm, dismissed her servant,
and they walked together on the sauds for
half an hour. Y'ou will not imagine, if
you have the least faith in psychology, that
Henry could feel the thrill of thai little
hand upon his arm for thirty minutes, and
communicate no sense of il to her.
'Did you say her name was Banvard ?'
asked Mrs. Pervical of her son.
'Banvard yea. Do you know the name V
exclaimed Heury, in surprise.
A quick Hash passed over the mother's
face.
'Yes,' she said, 'I used lo know it once.
But you love her, you say V
'Fool that I am yes. Don't despise me,
mother ; this is all I ask.'
Despise you, Henry ? I only wish
there was a woman on earth good euough
for you.' Something more than a mother's
ptide lighted up Mrs. Percival's face as she
spoke. 'Do you think that this woman
loves you ?' She asked earnestly.
'I do think so : but what of it V I could
never ask her to share my poor destiny.'
Mrs. Percival was silent a few momenta.
By-and-by she said, suddenly, 'Henry, I
am going to tell you something that I bad
'ntended to keep secret forever. My name
w- Banvard.'

A RIDE WITH AM K.GI.KEK.
H Opinion About Locomotiyes How
Tiikt Work Scenes Dowx
the Valley.
Th Reading Eagle reporter relates his
experience in a new and sensational way
of traveling, which our railroad friends,
will particularly relish. He says: 'Life
on a locomotive has been variously de
scribed by variou pens. There is a par
ticular charm about riding on an engine,
and everybody, more or less, has al times
felt a desire to take a trip ou the back of
the iron horse. After obtaining a permit
of the General Superintendent of the road,
a writer took the fireman's seat, the engi
neer pulled the throttle, aud away they
went, dowu the valley. Outside the city
the bell ceased tolling, aud the engiueer
settled down to work. Faster and faster
they weut with every stroke of the pistons.
Looking out sideways was to encounter
fences, telegraph poles, and houses blend
ing together. Their was a roar of iron
rolling upon iron, and clink of metal vibra
ting from jar and strain. There were
squeaks and griudings when whirled over
some projecting rail head, aud an occa
sional muttered grunt as if the noble ma
chine labored under its tremendous strain
and suffered. It was alive all over. Every
part and portion quivered and shook inces
santly. When over frogs or switches the
saioke stack wavered from side lo side,
the window sashes shook in their frames,
the picture of the pretty girl over the boiler
chattered against the cab, the index of the
steam guage was in a fine tremor constant
ly. The fire tools clattered against the
iron floor of the foot board, and the chain
on the lurnacc door rattled to aud fro; but
presetatly the engineer moved the lever
back one or two notches ; the speed slack
ened ; houses became more frequent cross
ings occurred ; the whistle was blown
twice, aud with a grinding of wheels and
ringing of the bell, came to a dead stop, as
gently as a bird alights upon a branch.
'The entire trip was finished this
manner. At the end of it. the engineer
remarked : A stranger can't go on to a
road he has never run over and make tiii'c
till he has learned the ins and outs of it.
Didn't you uotice how we rau when we
came out of town? Well, we didn't run
so fast after that at any time. Thai was
our 'race ground.' There are spots on all
roads where you have to ruu like thunder
to mako up for lost time at other places.
When we came up 'three mile grade, we
didn't go over ten or twelve miles au hour,
so we had to make it up al other places.
Did you uever here a couducler say some
limes when his train was late that he had
a new eugineer who didu'l know the road
thoroughly ? That's all there is lo it. Iu
other respects one engiueer is the same in
principle as another. But there can't be
two of them that'll work alike ; an engine
has ns many tricks as a horse. Some is as
docile as a sheep,. aud .oUws .ju&kcufs p
will carry water as steady as a clock, oth
ers will be a heaviu' il np and down like a
sea-Bick man. Some fire easy and some
light ; others eal up all fua thug in, and
then don't make any sieam. I'll lake that
engine we came iu with and run her for
ever, just as she is. The next man that
comes after me can't do ait thing with her,
until he fixes her as he wants her, and so
it goes. He'll swear the valves are set
wrong, or anything, so he can get a chance
lo tinker al her.'
Don't Quarrel. One of the most easy,
the most common, aud most perfectly fool
ish things is. to quarrel - no matter with
whom, man, woman or child ; or upon
what pretense, provocation or occasion
whatsoever. There is no kind of necessity
for it ; no manner of use in it, and no species
or degree of benefit to be gained by il.
And yet, strange as the fact may be, theo
logians quarrel ; the church quarrels, and
the State quarrels ; nati ns, tribes, corpora
tions, men. women, children, dogs cats,
birds and beasts quarrel about all maunet
.of things, on all manner of occasions. If
there is anything in the world thai will
make a man feel bad except pinching his
fingers in the door it is unquestionably a
quarrel. No man ever fails t think less
of himself after, than he did before one it
degrades him in his own eyes, and in the
eyes of others and. what is worse, blunts
his sensibility to disgrace, on the one hand,
and increases the power of passionate irrita
bility on the other. The reason eople
quarrel about religion is, because they have
so little of it aud the harder they quarrel
the more abundantly do they prove it. .
Politicians need Dot quarrel. Whoever
quarrels with a man for his political opin
ions, is himself denying the first principle
of freedom freedom of thought, moral
liberty, without which there is nothing iu
politics worth a groat ; il is, therefore
wrong upon principle. You have on this
hubjeel a right lo your own opinions ; so
have others. You have a right to con
vince them, if you can ; they have the same.
Exercise your rights ; but again I say
don"t quai re I.
The truth is, the more quietly and
peaceably we all get on, the better the
belter for ourselves ; the better for our
neighbors. In nine cases out of ten, the
wisest policy is, if a man cheats you, to
quit dealing with him ; if he is abusive,
quit his company ; if he slanders you un
less their be something outrageous lo com
plain of the wieat way is. generally, just
to let hita alone, for their is nothing better
than this cool, quiet way of dealing with
most of Uie wrongs we meet with. Ameri

just before retiring, is. of course, injuiious,
because it is very likely to disturb ope's
rest and produce night mare However, a
little food al this time, if one is hungry, is
decidedly beneficial ; it prevents the gnaw
ing of an empty stomach, with its attend
ant restlessuess and unpleasant dreams, to
say nothing of probable headache, or of
nervous and other derangements the next
morning. One should no more lie down at
nighi hungry, than be should lie down after
a full dinner ; the consequence of either
being disturbing aud harmful. A cracker
or two, a bit of bread and butter, or cake,
a little fruit something to relieve the sense
of vacuity, and so restore the tone of tbe
system is all that is necessary.
We have known persons, habitual suffer
ers from restlessness at night, to experience

not hungry, by a very light luncheon be
fore bed-time. In place of tossing about
for two or three hours as formerly, they
would soon grow drowsy, fall asleep, and
uot awake more than once or twice until

has recently been recommended by several
distinguished physicians, and the prescrip
tion has generally been attended with happy
results. Scribnerfw March.

Jack in tue Box. Some years ag
there lived a personage well known to the
Londou police under the sobriquet of "Jack
iu the Box." He had perfected a must in
ueuious system of theft, which he worked
with great pecuniary profit, though in the
result disastrously. He had a box so con
structed that he could himself lie in it
easily and obtain the air necessary for re
spiration. He would have .his luggage
booked from one station to another, and
labeled, "To be left till called for." He
took care to send it by a traiu that would
arrive at its destination in the middle of
the night, so thai all the luggage, includ
ing himself, would be stored till the next
morning. Then, in the middle of the night,
wheu all luggage had been safely locked up,
he would get out of his own box and de
liberately and at his leisure, open all the
trunks which he found around him. He
would have plenty of lime for this purpose,
and he had about him duplicates of all the
keys employed by the truuk makers,
that he could ojieu whatever he liked. He
never took too much out of any one box,
or robbed from more than oue box, of tho
same party, but went impartially collecting
whatevtr was most valuable and least like
ly to be traced. These he packed into his
owu box and retired with tbeui, duly lock
iug himself up. In the morning he would
be called for and banded over by the un
conscious railway porters to his confeder
ates in the scheme.
Sensational Newspapers. There is
no power in the land so mischievous as the
sensational newspaper. It gives a false
color to everything it touches, and ia a libel
upou its neighborhood, upon tbe Stale or
nation, its injury being limited only by the
extent of its circulation. Nor is there any
newspaper equal to it in its magnificent
showing of virtue, and general failure to
practice it. Show us such a paper, and as
a rule we can show you one always in the
market for tbe advocacy of any cause, how
ever bad, so there be profit in it. These
concerns never long maintain their influ
ence, but the wonder is that ihey should so
frequently gain even a spostnodic prosperi
ty. They mislead the ignorant reader in
everything in their estimate of public
men, in the course of events aud cause
other people to form the falsest of concep
tions. Tbe time will come in this land
when the good citizen will esteem it bis
duty to discourage iu every way the life
and growth of sensational papers.
Many years ago, when David Crocket
was a member of Cougress, and had return
ed to his constituents after his first session,
a 'nation" of them surrounded him one day,
and began to interrogate him about Wash
ington. 'What time do they dine at Wash
ington, colonel ?' asked one. 'Why said
he, 'common people, such as you are, get
their dinners at one o'clock, but the gentry
and big uns diue at three. As for the rep
resentatives, we dine at four ; and the aris
tocracy of the Senate, they don't get their
victuals till five.' 'Well, when does the
President fodder? asked another. 'Old
Hickory !' exclaimed the colonel, attempt
ing to appoiut a time iu accordance with
the dignity of the station : 'Old Hickory !
well he don't dine till next day.'
An Irish waiter once complimented a
