D'
.R. JOHNSTON',
Physician of this celebrated Institution, lias
discovered the tno6t certain, t-ri-edy, pleasant and
effectual remedy in tlie world for all
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness ot tbe Back or Limbs, Strictures,
Affections of Kidneys and liiadder, Involun
tary Discharge, Impotency, General Debili
tv, Nervousness, Dyspepsy, Lansuor, Low
Spirits, Confusion of Ideas, Palpitatiou of
the Heart, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimness
of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of the Head,
Throat, Nose or Skin, Affections of Liver, Lun-rs,
Stomach or Bowels these terrible Disorders
srisin" from the Solitary Habits of Youth t hose
secret'and solitary practices more fatal to their
victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners
of Ulvsscs, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering manias, &,- twpo
sible. Y.OUNG MEN
espeeiallv, vtho have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely trrave
thousands of young men of the most exalted
talents and brilliaut intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or waked to ecstacy the
living lyre, may call with full couQdeuce.
Married F
marriajre, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Procreative Power Impotency), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J.
may religiously confide in bis honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely anon his skill as a Pbv
Mcian. OUUANIC WEAKNESS.
ImpotPncy, Lout of Power, immediately Cured
and full Vigr Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and marriage Impossible is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences.
Young jiersonsare too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conseqeuccs
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will preterd to deny that the power
of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by tbe prudent t Besides
being deprivcdlhc pleasures of healthy offspring,
t lie most serious and destructive symptoms to hot ti
body and mind arise. The system ,becomes de
ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Procreative Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dyspe. ja. Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption. Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined iu health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them triilinc month after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compoumls,
should apply immc.liately.
DR. lOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Col'eges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose Ife has been sjent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia aud elsewhere,
has enacted some of the most astonishing cures
. that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing luthe head aud ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashful ticss, with frequeut blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, wire cured
ijumcdiutclv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have iujurr.1
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which min both body and mind, unfitting
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage.
These are some of the sad and nicluucboly
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weak uess of the Back and Limbs. Pains in the
Back ind Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cula Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nei fous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Cou
cumpiion. A:c.
MESTii.LT The fearful effects on the mind
ore much to be dwaded Loss of 'Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, iic, are some of the
"vils produced.
Tbocsasob of persons of all ages can now
judge w hat is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
aud emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes,'cough and symptoms ot consump
tion. VOUNG MEN
Who have injured th mselvcs by a certain prac
tice Indulged in when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
ttleets of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, aud destroys both mind and body, should
apply immediately.
'What a pity that a young man, the hoitcof his
country, the'darlmg of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospect and enjoyments ot
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature aud indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such iicrsons mitt before contemplating
MARRIAGE.
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness, li'ideed w ithout these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimnge; the prosjHH-t
hourlv darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the bappines-J of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary ot
ploasure Cuds that be lias imbibed the seeds ot
this painful disease, it too often hapens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
d. ters him from applying to thosa who, from
eduction aud respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaving till the constitutional symptoms ol
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
ns ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoctural
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 bones of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by seudiug
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whenc
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that tbousauds DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskiilTui PKE
TENDERS. w ho. by the use of that deadiy Poi
son, Mercury, kc., destroy the constitution, and i
incapable of curing, keep the unhappv snlier.-i J
tHoulh after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored

pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, D. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable hecreev, and
Inmi his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Euro, and the first ii:
tills country, vi: England, France, Philadelphia
nud elsew here, is eimi.tt to offer the mon cer
tain, speedy ana eirertnal remedy iu the world
tr nil disenr.es of imprudence.

There are so many Paltry, Designing and

of all who unfortunately fall into their power,
that Dr. Johnston deems it necessary to say cs

ENDORSEMENT OF THE PRESS.
The many thousands cured at this Establish
ment, year after year, and the numerous im
jwrtaul Surgical Operations jierformed by Dr.
Johnston, wituesscd by the representatives of the
press and many other papers, notices of which
have appeared acain and again before the public,
besides his standing as a geutleman of character
and responsibility, is a sufficient guarantee to the
' afflicted. Shiu diseases speedily cured.

Fiy away, swallow, fly into t'ae blue,
I nor the hawk can follow.
I've been nearer the heaven thau you,
j Nearer the secret the wise men knew,
j Nearer the dawning where dreams come true,
j Higher than star or swallow.
I Down the waves of a beautiful bay
! I drifted into inv heaven.
Down through a shoreless, shadowless day,
Under the gates that se'jmed lifted for aye,
Under low music by wind borne away,
Into the folding even.
All the sailing the. watch had been kept
By eyes of a passionate glory.
Till mine could wonder they ever had wept,
Tiil the nameless tumult stilled and slept.
And out of its travail a new life crept,
Born of that wordless story.
Till the mcasuretess joy uod the golden peace
And the crimson sunset blended,
And we drifted, drifted into the pate.
Drifted into the n:nset fleece,
Into the depihs where currents cease.
And storm and swell are ended.
What if wc fell from the heaven we knew,
Thou and I, O swallow
Sing you have caught a roulade tew.
Touched with a rapture line and true
Sing, afar in that infinite bine,
Bird nor arrow follow.

Keep through aft ful losing

Reaching up through losj and night.
Reaching never beyond the sight,
Siuce that wondrous cruising.

Miss Ferninoham, 'My aunt
says
I Rut here she checked herself, at the same
j second fixing her eyes, with a strong glare
of haughty surprise, on a tall, slender girl
who stood behind the counter busily mak
ing up a bouquet from the piles of pale,
fragrant violets, crimson rose buds, feather
I stephauotis and scarlet carnations that
lay in perfumed drifts on their beds of wet
moss.
She was very pretty, or, to speak more
correctly, beautiful, with pure Greek fea
tures, black hair knotted low at the back
of her head, aud large, almond-shaped
! eyes, with the least possible haughtiness in
the droop of their white lids. Her dress
was of black silk, with lace fulls at the
throat and wrists, aud a large brown ging
ham apron was fastened about her to pro
tect her from the moisture of the flowers.
Miss Ecrningham stared at her as if, j.
like ancient Medusa, she would transform
her to stone, but the lair disciple ol Flora
took no sort of notice of the fossilizing
look.
'Have you a small pink camclia, Mr.
Ilardie ?' she asked, as she went briskly
on twisting vine stems around the flowers,
and slipping bits of green fern and dainty
geranium leaves among them, to relieve
the too great exuberance of color.
I 'Here is one,' said the florist. 'Take
j care, you are getting that bouquet too
' still.
i 'No, I am not. Look !'
! .She held up the rainbow-tinted mosaic of
j flowers as she spoke
Miss Fctningham gave a great su'ifl" of
contempt as she turned away.
'You'll be sure to remember V said she
to the proprietor.
'I shall not forget,' Mr. Ilardie answered
courteously. 'Except the orange tree in
fruit, I am not certain that :
'We must have it!' iusisted Miss Fer
ningham. 'I tell you agaiu that your bill
will be promptly settled, whatever the
amount rnay be.'
And then Miss Ferningham, stepping
into ber silk-cushioned landau, bade the
coachman 'drive home at once.'
She hurried up stairs into her aunt's
boudoir, where the august lady sat, sur
rounded by crested envelopes, perfumed
paper and fancy writing material.
'You haven't sent oil' any of the invita
tions yet, have you, Aunt Penelope ?'
panted tbe young lady.
'Not yet. Why ?'
j 'Don't send Clara Auncslic's.'
t 'Not send Clara Anneslie's invitation ?
Why not ?' exclaimed Mrs. Ferningham,
with wide open eyes, nnd mouth gradually
elongating itsplf to correspond.

'It's all true about ber money being lost
in tbe San Antonia.'
'How do you know 1 Have yon seen
her lawyer ?'
'No, but I have 6ecn her. She's selling
flowers : behind Uardie's counter. The
next we know she'll be galloping up and
down the aisles of the opera bouse, selling
ten-Cent bouquets on a board. - Clara An
neslie never had any pride. Why couldn't
she taka in sewing or give music lessons,
or do something genteel, if she must earn
her own living ?
'Did she see you ?'
'Yes, of course she did. We looked each
other full it the face.'
'Did she speak ?'
'I didn't give ber a chance. I turned
away, as cold as ice. It is just well that
she should understand first as last that the
aristocracy will not put up with that sort
of bchind-the-counter business !
'That was right.' said Mrs. Ferniugham,
approvingly, as she tore up the scented
note that was to have been sent to Clara
Anneslie the 'Open Sesame' of the soiree;
where no expense was to be spared.
Miss Ferniugham brightened np at once.
It had been the darling ambition of her
heart before Clara Anneslie's beauty
eclipsed htr humble light, to become ber
cousiu Herbert's bride. Perhaps it was
yet upon the cards tLat she could gain this
acme of happiness.
So she put on ber turquoises, freshened
up her laces, and tied pale blue ribbon iu
her lustreless flaxen hair. And in the
pretty childish way she affected when with
her cousin Herbert, she told her tale.
'A horrible bore,' said Mr. Herbert Fer
ningham, playing with his onyx sleeve
buttons. 'No end of a nuisance. And
Clara Anueslie, the prettiest girl out, too.
What is it that Shakespeare says about a
dear gazelle ? I've got it somewhere in an
old scrap book, I believe. Rut of course
there is no use in a fellow making eyes at a
shop girl. If I marry at all (if oh ! poor
Miss Celestia !) it must ba a girl with mo
ney. Didn't some one say that Hattie
Courtney bad three thousand a year of her
own ?'
'Clara, my dear I' Mrs. Esteote checked
her little ponies on the corner ofthe street,
and beckoned her young friend to take a
seat beside her, 'where are you going ?'
'To Suritii's to look at some basso-relievos.'
.
'Well, I'll take you there. Jump in !
Have you heard the news ?'
'I have heard nothing special.'
'So I concluded,' said Mrs. Estcote,
laughing, 'People are always the last to
hear what directly concerns themselves.
You did not kuow then that here comes
Mr. Ferningham ! Let's see if he will bow
to you.'
'Of course he will bow to me. Why
shouldn't lie bow to me?' said amazed
Clara.
j Rut just as she was making ready to in
, cline her head in the most gracious and
j ladylike way. in response to the expected
j salutation Mr. Ferningham passed on,
; deeply inteut on the cugravings in the op
j posite shop window.
'I thought so,' said Mrs. Estcote, with a
curl of her lip.
'What does it mean ?' asked Clara, iu
surprise, not unmingled with mortifica
tion. 'To come back to our news,' said Mrs.
Estcote, whipping up her ponies by way of
an escape valve to her excited feelings.
'You l aven't heard then, that you have
lost all your property that tin; 'San An
tonio' was wrecked ?'
'The 'San Antonio' was wrecked ?' Clara
innocently made atiswer, 'but that made
no difference to me. My guardian sold
ht r a month ago to Messrs. Easy &, Go
lightly, and my properly is all invested in
good, safe bond and mortgage.'
'Neither, I suppose, have you beard that
you had gone into a florist's store to attend
his counter there for a living V
'I did go into the florist's store, the day
before yesterday,' said Clan, after a mo
ment or two of puzzled retrospection. 'But
it was only to John Ilardie 's. John used
to be papa's garueuer before be went into
the florist's business, and I often run in
and make up bouquets out of bis flowers to
suit myself. But I wasn't hired, neither
did I sell the bouquet,' she added, with a
laugh at the comicality ofthe idea.
Just about as much foundation to this
ns there is to most of Mrs. Frundy's re
ports,' said Mrs. Estcote, with a toss of
Jut pretty little plumed hat. Now you
know the reason that Mr. Herbert Fer
mingham didn't see you !'
'Also, I suppose, said Miss Anueslie,
'the reason that I have received no cards
to Mrs. Fernlugham'8 forthcoming soiree.
Never mind I can endure it. But who
told you this !'
'My brother-in-law, Jack Estcote.'
'Did he believe it?'
'Of course he did. He had it direct from
Celestia Ferningham.'
Clara colored. Her little finger tighten
ed ou the clasp of her gilded portmonnaie.
'And yet he called as usual last night,
lie he asked mo to marry him 1'
'What did you tell him?' '
'I said I would consider.'
'Well, then, consider,' said Mrs. Est
cote, quietly. 'It is a matter not likely to
be decided. But remember this, Clara,
Jack Estcote would have married you if
you bad been a beggar girl, holding out
your hand for pence at the street corners.
Clara Anneslie went homo aud thought
the question over at her leisure, and the
more she thought of it, the more she be
came convinced in her innermost mind of
two things. One was that she had a lucky
escape from the toils of so shallow-uatured

A Wooden Hand Growing out or a
liravv.
On Monday our city was unusually ex
cited by the exhibition iu tbe Courier-llcr-aid
ofiicc of a hand of wood which grew
out of a grave near Yorkville, iu Gibson
county. It was brought into our office by
Capt. G. S. Andrews of that county, who
gave us its history. Win. Herrou was out
walking with his wife one Sunday evening
uot long agrr, and in passing an old, neglect
ed grave yard near the public road ho saw
j a gum bush, and commenced breaking off
j the mistletoe, when, to his surprise and
j terror, be discovered that the wood under
neath presented the perfect form of n hu
man band.
Captain Audrews, hearing of the won
derful recovery, went to the bouse of Mr.
Ilerron, who, feeling rather uncomfortable
over the thought that he cut it lioni the
grave, and perhaps having somo theory as
to its supernatural significance, very will
ingly let Captain Audrews have it.
j The bush from which itvas cut was six
' feet high, and the baud was ou the top,
pointing upward, presenting the position
of the minister's hand when pronouncing a
benediction. It is about the size of a six-
year-old child's band, with loug, slender: Frightening Children. Nothing can
fiugers like those of a person very much j be worse for a child than to be frightened,
emaciated by sickness. The wood has j xi,e eu-ect of tbe scare is slow to recover
enlarged formations on each finger and tbe , fr0J ; it remains sometimes until maturi
thtimb. representing and corresponding j ty a9 fa shown br many instances of mor-
with the joints of the human baud.
The most remarkable feature about it
is the natural appearance of tbe nails.
They had a kind of flesh color, and the rest
of the hand, when the bark bad been re
moved, looking ghastly white. Mr. Ad
drews says the grave from which it was
cut is supposed to be the grave of a very
devout Methodist minister by the name of
Butcher, who was buried there many years
ng Jackson (Miss.,) Conrkr-llemld.
Etiquette ix an Ice Cream Saloon
IIoic 7o Behnve. A lady who professes
to know what she talks about discourses
thus on etiquette in an ice cream saloon :
Cream should be eaten slowly iu the first
place, by takina small quantities on the end
ofthe spoon, which should be held between
the two Grst fingers of tbe right band, and
clasped by the thumb. The spoon shou'd
be brought to the mouth sideways, and the
cream should be taken with the mouth
from the edge of the spoon and uear tbe
end. The whole spoon shoved in tbe
mouth looks very uumaunerly, and the
people ought to guard against it. The
whole motum of csitna cream should not
I bring into play the entire arm, but simply
I the wrUt movement, and the fore-arm
I from the elbow down." I don't like to see
people rest their elbows on tbe table. That
looks very thoughtless and is indicative
of bad bringing up. Before commencing
to cat cream, take a sip of water, bring the
saucer nearer to yoa cn the edge of-the (able.
Never go into a saloon unless you have a
handkerchief. Spread it carefully on ycur
lap, and then commence toeat.
But don't
make a bib out of your handkerchief and
stud it into your collcr to cover your
dress or shirt front. Bibs arc for babies,
aud unless you want to show people that
you are sloppy and awkard, why don't use
a bib. Never eat more than one plate of
: cream in a saloon. It is the height of ill
tnanuer3. If a gentleman asks another gen
tleman iu to have a plate of cream, the
other should not ask to return the favor
there. He may ask through politeness'
sake, but the other should never think of
accepting it. They can patronize some
other saloon, and thus divide up their pa
tronage. Young gentleman ought always
remove their hats in a saloon where there
are ladies, aud bats should be kept off too,
nud not put on when turning to leave the
room. Ladies should always wait until
they are asked what kind of cream they
prefer, or better still, gentlemen should
ascertain in time what flavor their ladies
prefer. Never be boisterous in an ice cream
saloon, nor indulge in loud talk, nor en
gage in flirtation. Do not stare at people,
nor watch how wide they tear their mouths,
nor how they eat their cream. Never bite
cake, but always delicately and geutly
break it with the fiugers, piece by piece.
Nothing looks more horrid than to see
people bite to see what a pretty round semi
circle they can chisel with their teeth. It's
! perfectly horrid.
j Discoveries in Palestine. A report
j has just been published by Lieutenant
Condor, 1L E., relating to the excavations
j which have been made in Jerusalem, and
I the consequent discoveries. It appears
' that the explorers have been able to make
! a full determination of the southwest angle
of the most ancient of the walls of" Jerusa
lem. A solid iower of native rock, about '
twenty-five feet square, has been scm)cd '
or hewn out to a height ot twenty feet
above a rock platform, from which a second
shoer desccut of twenty feet and upwards
formed the outer line of the city wall. Tbe
direction of this scarp, as continued to the
north and to the cast of the tower, shows
that the latter occupied tbe southwest an
gle of the wall. A large, rock-hewn cistern
behind the tower opens on the level of the
rock platform, and exactly corresponds to
the description given by Josephus. The
scarp facing tbe south rises from & second
rock platform, of width hitherto undeter
mined, to a height of thirty feet, has been
also discovered at the corner of the ceme
tery. The work of the scarp Lieutenant
Cornier describs as magnificent. A counter-scarp,
forming a ditch of about twenty
feet wide, has been exposed iu one point ;
but it is not yet made clear how far this
ditch was cut. The reference made to the
crossing a ditch, or 'gutter' in the storm
of Jerusalem by Joab, is illustrated by this
brilliant discovery. That the work of the
Juburite kings is here laid bare, however
it may have been strengthened by later mas
ters of Juru8alem, there seems but little
room to doubt. The progress ofthe Ordi
nance survey continues to be rapid and ex
haustive. Not only has Lieutenant Con
dor added a number of important identifi
cations, including that of thr Tinyal and Tie-
Rates of Advertising.
