BALTIMORE LOCK HOSPITAL
D
E. JonNSTOX,
Physician of this celebrated Institution, lias
discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasant and
effectual remedy In the world for all
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness ot the Back or Limbs, Strictures,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, Involun
tary Discharges, Impotency, General Debili
ty, Nervousness, Dyspepsy, Languor, Low
Spirits, Confusion of Ideas, Palpitation of
the Heart, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimuess
of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of the Head,
Throat, Nose or Skin, Affections of Liver, Lunzs,
Stomach or Bowels these terrible Disorders
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practine more fatal to their
victims than the song of 8yrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, &c, impos
sible. XOUtfGMEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and aiestructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of young men of the most exalted
talents and brilliant 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 connaence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Youne Men contemplatln
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Procreative Power impotency), nervous
eitahilitv. Palpitation. Oreanic Weakness, Ncr
tous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
H who placet himself under the care of Dr. J.
may religiously confide in bis honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely unon his skill as a Ph
sician.
ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Impotency, Lots or Power, Immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible is the penalty
raid bv the victim of improper indulgences,
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conseqences
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lost sooner Dy tnose iamng imo
Improper habits than by the prudent T Besides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
t he most serions and destructive symptoms to both
liodv and mind arise. Tbe system becomes de
railed, the Physical and Mental Functions
. Weakened, Loss of Procreative Power, Nervous
Irritability, l'yspe. Ja, raipitatton ot tne Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trifling month after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
should apply immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Meml-or of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Coreges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose ife has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected some of tbe most astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
basbfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting
tbem for cither business, study, society or niar
rin ee.
Thesb are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back aud Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Dicestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, &c.
MentaULT The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evll
Forebodincs. Aversion to Society, Self-Di6trust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c., are some of the
evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now
Judce 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 niselves by a certain prac
tice indulged in when alone, habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, aud destroys both mind and body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatclK-4 from all prospects and enjoyments ot
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and Indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such tiersons must before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the mot,1
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and filled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes bliirhted with onrowo.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds oi
this ainful disease, It too oRen happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to thosa who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains in tbe bead and limbs, dlmnett of sight,
deafness, nodes on tbe 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
lu, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousand DIE
victims 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 suflerer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, aud instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observations iu
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first in
this country, vU : England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

Men have grown old hi our patronage
Babies on their mothers' breast
To bouncing boys at play ;
And youths by maidens fair caressed,
To stalwart nien with cares oppressed,
And old men silver gray.
And among the honored and lasting impres
sions of time, and the crash of revolutions in
circumstances, we stand a living monumental
memento of the lneenuity and perseverance ap
pertaining to the identity of progression, plying
our vocation with the highest style of art and
perfection, and aspiring to achieve the highest
reward of merit attainable in our hnmble capaci
ty, and tbe sentiment of respect and approbation
which the presence of superior appliauces and es
tablishment are always wont to inspire.
Always to please
We shave with ease
Cut and comb with taste the hair ;
Shampoo the head with soothing euro,
And color the whiskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town.
Then allow me politely request you to stop,
And not go past nor from around our shop.
To get shaved on the basis of ability nor as
some have done for our use of tbe ballot for prin
ciple sacred aud right nor under the common
secret and invidious guise of enmity to complex

DON'T STAY AFTER TEN.
I have just a word to say to you,
When me you come to see,
You kuow that none in all the world
Is half so dear to me.
'Tis this I would request of you,
That when yon come again
To see me in the evening,
You won't slay after ten.
For after ten, as moments fly,
I tremble o'er and o'er,
Lest papa's visage I should see
Come peeping at the door,
He's there to execute his threat ;
He said he'd surely come.
If e'er you stayed so late again,
And tell you to go home.
And when I down to breakfast go
Pap i will frown at me,
And say "My child that beau of yours
Is going to hear from me.
This sort of thing I will not hare
So, when he comes again,
I'll just go down and show him out.
If he don't go at ten."
And so, though your society
Makes heart and pulse throb warm.
I heave a sigh of vast relief
At your retreating form
You know that you are welcome, aye,
O ! best loved of men !
Bnt many a scolding yon have caused,
By staying after ten.
UNDER THE ROSE.
BY ELIZABETH BIGELN.
'Katharine ! Kathenne ! 'Vy'here has the
child vanished ? You really must excuse
her Mr. AValdron. She ia so thoughtless
and wayward !'
And Katharine, a white heap, crouched
in tbe corner of the piazza, could hear the
little soft sigh that came from her step
mot ier'8 pretty lips to give emphasis to her
wolils.
Jist then a provoking breeze stirred the
leaves of the tall orange tree that concealed
her. and she lost Mr. Waldron's reply. How
much sho would have given to hear it!
AnJ yet it was probably only Bome polite
commonplace, if he bad condescended to
speak about her at all.
They had gone back to the drawiug
rocm ; she heard her stepmother's soft pur
ring tones jus: outside the window ; then
the music crushed out again and drowned
everything. -
Catherine stole softly to the window, and
pulled the drapery aside, just enough for
one little peep.
Yes, it was as she had thought. Mr.
Waldron was dancing with her stepmother.
She could see her blonde ringlets fluttering
against his shoulder, and the arch smile
with which she glanced up into his face,
lie would be abundantly consoled for her
desertion 1 thought Kathcrine bitterly.
She had promised lo dance this dance
with him, and she had run away. Run
away from what aba had hppn looking long
ingly forward to all the evening, the pros
pect of which had enabled her to bear pa
tiently Dick Bentley's unceasing chatter of
his college boat races, and his open "spoon
ing1 of herself (as &he had beard one of his
friends call it,) had made her so amazingly
good-natured as to dance with every one of
her brother Tom's friends who asked her,
whom she usually treated with contempt as
'small boys.' And now to be back again,
to be in her stepmother's place, what would
she not have given 1 Yet the keen jealous
pain in her heart which had drawn her
away was us strong stronger man ever.
No ! Bhe did not want to be there ; to have
him looking down into her face in that ten
der way she knew so welj, and which only
meant now she knew it that he thought
of her as a child, 'a rather prcttv child,'
who would be pleased with a little petting.
How did he look at her stepmother ? she
wondered. She was not a child ; she was
a beautiful woman how beautiful she bad
never realized until to-night, thought
Katherine. She had just blossomed out of
her widow's weeds, and she looked so fresh
and bright ! There I he was stooping to fas
ten her bracelet now. Was not bis manner
as tender as it had ever been to her ! Poor
Katherine ! her 'one little peep' was too
much for her. She let the curtain full, and
rushed away, she scarcely knew or cared
where.
Out into the moonlighted, robe-scented
garden, away down one of the long paths,
anywhere, to be away from the glaring
lights, and the gay music that jatred upon
her so, to be away from those two, so happy
iu each other's presence that they had al
ready forgotten her existence.
She sat down on tbe steps of a little ar
bor over whose sides, formed of interlaced
boughs, a rosevine, now a mass of bloom,
ran riot.
The scent of the roses was heavy, sicken
ing ; how could she ever have thought them
sweet ? thought poor Katherine ; and tbe
gay tantalizing strains of music would find
their way even down this long winding
path. Still, it was better here thau on tbe
piazza, where somebody would be sure to
find her, and to stay in the drawin-room,
after she had heard that snatch of the con
versation between her stepmother and Mr.
AValdron, was impossible. She had been
sitting alone in the shadow of a curtain, to
rest between the dances, Dick Benllcy, who
bad persisted in being her shadow all the
evening, having gone for a glass of water
for her.
Yes, she is rather pretty, she heard, in
her stepmother's soft languid voice, 'but
only a child, as you say. I think, consid
ering that, Mr. Waldron, you are rather
severe upon her rude and awkward ways.
She may improve.
Dick Bentley had appeared with the wa;
ter just then, and she did not hear Mr.
Waldron's reply. She was so thankful to
Dick ! She could not have born any more.
It was evident that Mr. Waldron had been
'severe' upon her, and her stepmother was
defending her. She smiled upon Dick with
such unusual sweetness that be did not no
tice the quivering lips, and began to think
his star was in the ascendancy. Then she
had sent him with some trilling message to
Tom, and escaped to the piazza.
He Mr. Waldron could not even come
to seek her for the dance she had promised
him without her stepmother ! Ho had been
hanging about her all tbe evening." This
was what his constant visits all the sum
mer bad meant. How blind sho had been ?
what a fool 1 What reason had she for
that foolish fancy she had indulged that he
cared for her ? Only soft lingering glances,
and low tender tones ; but so soft, so ten

der I Did he think she, with her eighteen
years, so much a child as to be regardless
of them ? No ! he had been amusing him
self with her ; he liked to Bee her flush
and tremble under his gaze ; perhaps he
had even spoken to her stepmother about
it, and they had laughed together at her
folly.
That thought aroused Katheriae's pride,
and kept back the flood of hot tears that
rushed to her eyes.
He should never know that she had
cared for him I They would tell ber soon
that he was to marry her stepmother, and
she would congratulate them both with a
smiling face. Yes, they would marry, and
she should go on liviog for years and years,
perhaps, with the world grown so black,
and that bitter, bitter pain at her heart
The music sounded like a wail ; a chill
wind had arisen, and made a melancholy
sound in the rosevines. Katherine shiver
ed, whether with the cold or tbe thought
of the long dreary years that stretched be
fore ber, she could hardly tell. Suddenly
something white in the midst ot the red
rose petals which the wind was whirling at
her feet, caught her eye. Something
prompted her to pick it up ; it was a care
fully folded note.
She opened it, half mechanically, think
ing that nothing could be ot any interest to
her now.
'My Dearest Marion. 'Katherine's
heart gave a sudden leap ; her stepmother's
name was Marion. 'You do not show that
ardent pleasure at seeing me again which I
had fondly hoped you would feel. Is the
old love quite dead ? I do not see why my
presence here should cause you any alarm,
now that your husband is dead. Are you
afraid of that doll-faced child, your hus
band's daughter, who is forever in the way?
I should think you might be able to man
age her. I must see you. If you have
any love for me left, you cannot deny me
that privilege ; but I am perfectly willing
that our interview should be sub rosa, if it
is more ageeable to you. Whatever you
may be to me, I am
'Yours always, J. II. W.'
The note had evidently been blown
about by winds and soaked by rains ; it
was with difficulty that Kathcrine deciph
ered it in the moonlight. It was dated
May 3d.
'J. n. W. John IT. Waldron! aud
written six weeks ago, when he first came
here. '
Katherine grew faint and sick. She had
not known how much of hope bad, after
all, been mingled with her jealous fears.
But this was certainly dreadful, bitter
certainly, with no room for a shadow of
hope. And they had been lovers before it
was nothing new ; and he whom she had
believed the soul of goodness and honor
had written that letter ? Surely, life was
too hard a thing to bear.
A step sounded suddenly on the path a
hurried eager step. Katherine had scarcely
time to thrust the letter into her pocket
when Dick Bentley stood beside her.
The sight of Dick's honest anxious face
was a relief to ber ; she had been so afraid
it was that other one 1
I have been searching everywhere for
you. Why did you run away ? You're not
ill or anything ? You look so awfully
white !' said honest Dick.
'O no. I was tired and wanted to get
out of the crowd ; that is all. The moon
light always gives one a sort of ghostly
look you know.'
Katherine tried to talk gaily, but the
voice sounded so unlike her own that it
startled her.
But Dick was not suspicious, and seemed
perfectly satisfied with her explanation.
'I can't go back I don't want to go in
quite yet, it is so warm there, and I am
tired of dancing. Let us walk to tbe end
of this path and back,' said Katherine,
thoughtless of what people would say,
thoughtless of poor Dick, and the declara
tion which she had been trying for the last
week to prevent him from making.
Dick, thanking his stars for the opportu
nity, poured his love tale into Katheiine's
ears before they had reached the end of the
path. Very fervent and passionate it was,
but it fell at first, upon almost utterly un
heeding ears. Suddenly a thoug'at flashed
across Katherine's miud there was a way
of escape ! They could not laugh at her or
pity her, and she could goaway,quiteawa
from them both !
'I don't love you, Dick you know. I
don't think I ever could ; but 1 like you
very much. If you are sure you can be
content with that, I will be your wife ; if
you'll take me away, Dick, if you'll only
take me away, aud never bring me back
here I'
If it was not quite the answer that Dick
could have wished for, it was even better
than he hoped to have. He was very easy
going and matter-of-fact, and if Katharine's
manner did seem a little strange, he re
flected that there was 'no understanding
girls as for her desire to go away, which
surprised and puzzled him for a moment,
that might be attributed to her stepmother;
stepmothers were always ogresses, iu
books, at least, and this one, though she
seemed so amiable and lovely, might be no
exception to the rule.
He was a little chilled by Katharine's
anxiety to escape from his raptures ; but it
was late, and ber absence must have been
noticed long ago. That was a reason for it.
The guests were fast dispersing when they
reached the house, much to Katharine's
relief.
Her stepmother chided her playfully for
running away. Mr. Waldron stood apart
looking pale and grave. Had not this woo
ing prospered, after all ? Katharine won
dered. Her stepmother expressed the
greatest delight at the engagement, which
Dick insisted upon announcing the next
day.
'It is just what I have been planning and
hoping for, Katharine dear,' she said.
'Mr. Bentley is altogether the most eligible
young man of our acquaintance, and you
are so perfectly suited to each other in age
and temperament.'
Her brother Tom was not so enthusias
tic. 'If you like him, it's all right, of course,
Katy, and Dick is a right-dqwn good fel
low. He isn't what you could call bril
liant, you know ; we used to think bim a
little well, softish. I thought it's none
of my business but I thought there was
something between you and Waldron.'
Katharine was thankful that her step
mother interrupted them just then ; she
could not help flushing painfully under
Tom's keen eyes.
Mr. Waldron's estate, an old family
homestead, to which he had lately fallen
heir, adjoined theirs, and since be had first
come there in the spring, he had been a
daily visitor, but now for nearly a week he

did not come. Could her stepmother have
refused him ? Katharine wondered. But
that did not seem likely, for she was evi
dently disturbed by his absence, and she
vented her ill-nature upon Katharine, as if
she were the cause of it. Katharine was
puzzled ; but as she had resolved, dutiful
ly, to put him quite out of her mind, she
would not allow herself to think about it
She had determined to give the place in her
heart that he held.as was her bonden duty,
to poor, blundering, impetuous, affectionate
Dick, who followed her about hke a span
iel, and drove her almost to frenzy with his
demonstrations of affection. He had come
to the Cedars to spend tbe summer, as
Tom's guest, and there was no probability
of his shortening his visit, under existing
circumstances. Unless she run away or
drowned herself in the river, there was uo
way to escape from him a single day. And
one or the other Katharine was sometimes
tempted to do.
'If he only would go away, I might learn
to care for him possibly but I never can
while he stays here !' she said, to herself;
despairingly, only a week after she had
given bim her promise.
She had escaped into the garden, while
Tom good, keen-sighted fellow had pin
ned Dick down lo a game of billiards. In
all that week she had not once seen Mr.
Waldron. Was it any wonder that she
could not keep back the flush that rose to
her face as a turn in the garden path re
vealed him to her gaze ? She tried hard
to greet him as she would have greeted an
ordinary friend Dick for instance and he
was so grave and composed, that after the
first moment it grew easy. He had been
busy,' was the only excuse he gave for hia
absence, when Katharine reminded him of
it.
'And you haven't congratulated me yet,
Mr. Waldron,' something prompted Kath
arine to say.
ne grew paler, and looked away from
her.
'I hope you may be very happy,' he an
swered, coldly and gravely.
And then he passed her with a stiff bow,
and went towards the house.
And Katharine went on, while her
heart beat wildly. What did it mean?
Surely, only very deep feeling could make
a strong man like him change color.
What if she had been mistaken what if he
had really loved ber ? But the next mom
ent she thought of the letter, the heart-chilling
proof, that left no room for doubt
The summer days slipped slowly by.
Mr. Waldron was only an infrequent visi
tor, and between her stepmother's ill-nature
and Dick'a excessive devotion, Kath
arine's life was growing uoindurable. In
the first cool days of October, Dick went
not so happy a lover as he had been on
that June night when he had won Kathar
ine's promise. It was to evident that his
captive was tugging at ber chain. She was
so cold and capricious that his temper was
sorely tried. Even his favorite maxim
"there's no understanding girls," failed
to satisfy him. If she were only a little
less pretty and bewlthcing, he would give
her back her freedom ! he said to himself a
dozen times.
The "melancholy days" had come, and
dead leaves were whirling in the garden
paths, where the rose petals had been when
oue dreary afternoon, Katharine took her
way down to that rustic harbor, where
since that June night, she had never been.
She had avoided it carefully, but now
something drew her their. As she stepped
inside, she was startled by a figure half
reclining on one of the rustic seats a man
she hardly knew by bis appearance
whether to call him a gentleman or not
who rose to his feel at sight of her, and
made her a most elaborate bow. He was
was dressed like a gentleman, but his
cloathes were worn shabby, and their was
something wild in his manner, and a
strange glitter in his eye. Katharine's
impulse was to fly, but before sho could
carry it out, he had put his hand on her
shoulder, holding her firmly. She tried to
cry for help, but made her voice utterly
fail. Besides, at such a distance from the
house, who could hear her ? she thought
despairingly.
"You are my lovely little niece, whose
acquaintance I have long been wishing to
make ; but my charming sister, madam
you r mother, has denied me that felicity.
She has also, of late fallen into the danger
ous error of refusing to recognize me her
selfroe, her only brother, a gentleman of
birth and education, as you may easily see,
merely because misfortune has overtaken
me ! Ab, well 1 perhaps it may be because
she suspected that it misfortune had not
overtaken me, that misfortune which in
this ill-regulated mundane sphere, alas !
befalls often the noblest and mosi gifted
I refer to the want of filthy lucre I should
never havo forced myself into her charm
ing society. Wo had one little interview
here, in which she bestowed upon me a
meagre pittance out of her abundant store
but she never condescended to reply to any
of the notes which I told her I should de
posit here for her.'
Katharine almost forgot her terror of
this strange being who Bhe began to sus
pect bad been drinking in the light that
broke upon her mind. 'J. H. W !' She
remembered having heard that her step
mother had a brother, John II. Wilton
but she had understood that he had died
years before.
Now you see, I am getting desperate ;
it is very sad that gifting should be des
perate ; it is very sad that giftings should
be disturbed by these paltry needs, but I
must have money ! My dear, as your
beautiful step-mamma proves obdurate, I
must ask you for a small loan as a token of
regard, your watch for instance, and what
other trinkets you may have about you ;
and before I consent to deprive myself of
your delightful society, I want your prom
ise which I know you'll keep to bring
me to this place this evening, a small addi
tion to your loan in the shape of money.'
'I will promise to bring you the money,
if you will let me go, and let me keep my
watch ; it was my own mother's, aud I
prise it more than anything else in the
world V said poor Katharine.
My dearest neice 1 1 cannot express my
grief at being obliged to insist ; but when
one has been so buffiled about by fate as
your unfortunate uncle has been, he grows
cautious and this represents so much of
the vulgar metal which is necessary to
one !'
He had taken the watch from her belt
looking with greedy eyes at its rich crust
ing of jewels, and was cooly transferring
it to his own pocket, when poor Kathar-

ine scarcely knowing what she did, uttered
a faint cry of 'help I help !'
It was answered. They both heard a
rapid step.
'O Mr. Waldron ! help me I save me !'
cried Katharine, as his face looked in at
the door.
With one strong arm he freed Katha
rine from the man's grasp, hut the next
moment Katharine heard the report of a
pistol, saw Mr. Waldron reel,' then fall
heavily to the floor." Then everything
whirled around her and grew dark, and
she knew nothing more.
When she came to herself, she was at
home, when Tom's anxious face bending
over her, and her stepmother on a sofa, in
violent histerics. with three maids attend
ing her.
'O Tom ! Mr. Waldron ?' said Kathar

dead?'

self ? Have you lost all sense of propriety?'
said her stepmother, tartly, recovering and
sitting up with amazing suddenness.
'You'll take me, Tom ? I must go ? I
must go !' said Katharine.
Why yes, Katty, if yon must go,' said
Tom, who would have gone through fire
and flood for her, without a moments hesi
tation. Katharine did not mind the wandering
looks of Mr. Waldron's housekeeper or ser
vants. She forgot everything but ber love
and his danger.
How his eyes lighted at the sight of her !

were here. I knew you would come I and

party, wheu she told mt that you loved

heart filled with great joy.

California Delights. There are
many nuisances encountered by the farmer
in this part of the world which do some
thing to countervail the surpassing loveli
ness of the climate. Of these ants are one.
Frequently food can be preseved only by
being suspended in sacks, or placed in cup
boards with their legs standing in water.
The native Californians scrape all the
grass out of their yards, and tramp the
ground down hard to keep the ants away.
Choppers are sometimes driven from a tree
by the amazing multitude, and the stench
of them. They collect great quantities of
grass seed into their holes, leaving the
chaff on the surface, and these chaff heaps
become a resource for stock in the winter.
The fleas have given rise to a fashionable
folly known as the "California wriggle,"
which even young ladies practice in the
presence of their lovers. In. the high
mountain regions, strange to say, and
around the salty lagoons of the bay, mo
squitoes are so intolerably bad that men
often wear mosquito bars on their heads.
On the portion of tbe plains overflowed in
the wet season, gnats are so thick that

their hands and faces lacerated by them
selves to a bloody blotch. In tbe coast

squirrels swarm in countless hordes, honey
combing all the surface of the earth, and

of an enemy they are powerless to deal

farmera have shot grouse, wild turn
key and similar birds by the million, clear

dote for these pests is a stock of fowls
