This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and marriage Impossible it the penalty
paid by the victims of Improper indulgences,
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conseqences

of procreation it lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by tne pruaem i . Besides
being deprived the pleasures of fcealthy offspring,
ibe most serious and destructive symptoms to both

DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgcon, Lon
don. Graduated from one of the most eminent
. Col'eget in the United States, and the greater
Vrtf whose Ife has been speut In the hospitals
pf London, Pns, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
4aua effected some of the most astonishing cures
(Hat were ever known t many troubled With ring
lug in the 'head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being-alarmed at sudden sounds,
bapbfulocss, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
ImincdiatelT. . "
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. . .
Dr. J. addresses all tbosa who haTe iujurrd
-ibwselres by Improper indulgence and solitary
' 'iKtbii, which rniu both body and mind, untitling
.them for cither business, study, society or mar
.riojre. ' . - .
..' Tnrxaa are some of the tad and melancholy
'ftoclt produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains In the
iBackand Head, Dimness of Sight, Lost of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, Ac.
Mextaixi The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Lost of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Avcrsiou to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are tome of the
evils produced.
Thocsaxds of persons 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 tingnlar appearauce
ahont the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
rt'iio have injured th m selves by a certain prac
tice indulged in when alone, a habit frequently
latent from evil companions, or at school, the
Uecu f which are nightly felt, even when
.asleep, tn.il If not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
tpp!y iinaiediately.
What a p'KS that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
malt-hoi from all prospects and enjoymeuts ot
.lifts, by the cotMequence of deviating from the
.path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
hubil. Such persons must before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
(reflect that a sound raiud and body are the rnos1
necessary requisites to promote connubial liappl
; ness. Iudeed without these, the journey through
.life becomes a weary pilgrimage; the prospect
hourly darkens to the viaw ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and filled with theinclan-
choly reflection, that the happiness .of apothcr
Veomcs blighted with our own-
A CERTAIN DIiiASE.
When the misguided and imprudent uwy 1
"pleasure finds that he hat Imbibed the seeds ol
this painful disease, it too often happens ttut au
ill-timed tense of thame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can aloue befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
paint in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the bead, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of tbo nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death putt
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to ' that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, throush 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 noxious or In
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
hiK galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johhstow pledget him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first ic
this country, vis : 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.

1870, OR THE TWO DREAMS.
I dreamed a dream in which I saw
A mighty land, from shore to shore
Stretched over lengths of boundless plain :
Green fields on which the yellow grain
Waved in the western breeze ; and rills
That turned for it the creaking mills,
Ran dowu in murmnrs to the sea,
I saw the land and it was irce.
A prosperous people, blessed Id store
Of ripjicned fruits and golden ore.
Made it their home, and wealth increased
They sat iu peace at a sumptuous feast.
Dives of nations, clothed in state (
No Lazarus waited at the gate.
They bound the cbaplet round each brow ;
"Arc we not gods in splendor now V
I saw the feast. The viands spread,
The glare of lamplight overhead,
I saw the red wiue freely poured
With song and jest around the board.
But there among the welcome guests
Were some with envy in their breasts,
Who whispered in each ear aside
"Ye -are too great, why not divide V'
I saw the land asnndur torn,
The musket poised, the sabre drawn ;
I saw the red blood downward pour,
As wine did at the feast before.
The shrieKlng shell in anger flew
When brother's hand a brother slew,
And thought amid the battle shont
Why comes all the turmoil about I
Was it because a slave was born
Within the land that it was torn I
Was it that Cotton should be King.
Tout caused this wondrous suffering I
Was it because it was too great
The empire crumbled state from state 1
Ah no ! the cause is plain to rend,
Insidious counsel did the deed.
Men, that loved freedom, held their breath
To watch those dreadful ranks of death
O'er one the gleaming Stripes and Stars,
The other bore the Stars and Bars.
The self-same mother bore them twaiu ;
They nursed that mother's brea in vain.
. Sweet Peace in sorrow d roped her wings,
And yet the sight was joy to Kings.
I dreamed a second dream. The roar
Of gun, Ui shout was heard no more.
Iu through the war-cloud' powder smoke
At(lcogth the rainbow softly broke.
The sword was checked, and angry men
Looked in each others' eyes again,
And said "Let passion stand aside !
Was it for this oar fathers died V
Aud men grasped hands once more and wept

'Everything goes wrong,' said Mr. Trip
kr, laying down bis knife and fork with the
face of a martyr.
There are some people in the world with
whom 'everything' seems chronically to
go wrongthere arc some whose first in
fantine wail is uttered in the minor key,
and who goon lamenting through life ; and
of this much abused class Mr. Nathan
Trippler was a burning and Bhiuing light.
'What's the matter, dear?' questioned
Mrs. Trippler, who sat opposite her husband
with a round eyed baby on her knee, and
two or three little ones clamoring for their
share of the matutinal meal on either side
of her.
Mrs. Trippler was a trim, neatly-made
little woman, with blue eyes, and flaxen
hair a woman who might have been pret
ty, could she have divested herself of a cer
tain frightened, apprehensive look that
came over her face whenever hct liege lord
spoke or looked toward her. Not that Do
rothy Triplcr was actually afraid her
husband had neither beaten ber or used
coercive measures, but when a man begins
to Gud fault, a woman never is easy in her
mind lest some domestic screw should be
waxing loose.
'I can't eat a mouthful, Dorothy,' croak
ed Mr. Tripler, dolefully. 'Such cook
ing 1 and such food ! You may as well turn
that new cook of yours into the street at
once.'
'But, Nathan, I I am very sorry, but I
cooked the breakfast myself, dear, this
morning. Isn't it nice ?'
'Nice ? Yes very nice for those who
can digest leather and drink dish water ?'
'The biscuits are fresh and hot, Na
than.' 'I don't want to be poisoned with hot
bread.'
And I thought the steak was unusually
tender.'
No reply. Mr. Tripler had folded his
arms ami was gazing with an expression of
abstracted despair at the ceiling.
Will you have another cup of coffee ?'
timidly questioned his wife.
'Coffee ? Is that coffee ? Really I thought
it was hot water that bad got into the urn
by mistake !'
I will order some fresh made,' said
Mrs. Tripler, with her hand on the bell
rope.
'You will do no such thiHg ma'am, if
you please,' said Mr. Triplcr, shortly. 'My
appetite is completely destroyed.'
Will you have an egg boiled ?'
'No.'
There's some very nice ham in the pan
try.' 'I dare say there always is when I don't
want it'
I am very sorry, Nathan,' said poor
little Mrs. Tripler, despairingly.
Yes, she was sorry, this faithful, much
enduring wife ; nor did the frequent repe
tition of this domestic storm at all abate
her penitence and sense of guilt. Some
women would have got accustomed to the
daily disturbance and thrown it off as a
robin casts the dewdrops from her wing.
Not so Dorothy Tripler. She was too sen
sitive, too conscientious, too delicately or
ganized to laugh off her troubles as some
surface deep characters would have done.
So when her husband had departed, still
grumbling under bis breath, as he slammed
the door, she leaned her throbbing head
upon one weary little hand aud murmured
softly to herself,
'Oh, I wish Nathan was different I'
Then, as if she had uttered high treason,
she started to her feet, checking the bensa
tion of repining, and began industriously
to prepare the three apple cheeked, toy
headed little Triplers for school.
'It's Monday morning and Nathan don't
like them to be late,' thought tho meek
spirited wife.
Meanwhile Mr. Tripler was slowly walk
ing down the path through the wild aud
solitary glen that led to the road where,
twice a day, the Lendville stage rolled by,
conveying passengers to the train at Mar
tin's Station. It was cheaper to live in the
country, and so Mr. Tripler lived there,
although, as far as actual tastes went, he
didn't know a buttercup from a burdock.
As Nathan trudged along, thinking how
best to get rid of some troublesome shares
of railway stock that were sinking uncom
fortably on bis hands, he suddenly became
conscious of the presence of a man, stout
and middle aged, with a head as smooth
and shining as a billiard ball, who was sit
ting on a boulder of moss-grown stone just
where the pathway merged into the Lend
ville road.
'Good morning, sir,' said the stranger.
'Have a seat ?'
Mr. Tripler had no very strong social
elements in his nature, so he stifly inclined
his head and kept on his way .: But the
first he knew two iron grasps were on his
shoulder, he felt himself twirled suddenly
round, like a human bumming top, and
seated with more force than was exactly
agreeable on the boulder.
'What do you mean'
'Dear me !' suddenly interrupted this
uncomfortable companion, 'what a very
nice hat you have. . Now, what do you
say to exchanging hats ? Mine is a very
nice straw, but I find it's somehow heating
to the brain.' . " .
'You are quite welcome, sir,' faltered
the tremulous Nathan, speaking all the
more rapidly in that the freakish maniac
bad already deftly affected the change.
''And your coat, too nice cool linen.1
Upon my word, now, that coat is infinitely
preferable to this swallow-tailed concern of
mine, with the brass buttons. Yes it fits
me very nicely. I hope you don't object
sir, to the accommodation ?'
N no !' faltered Mr, Tripler.
'Well, good morning,' said the stranger,
looking round with a bewildered air. 'I
don't really see where my chief orderly is
I told him to be bere precisely at Dine
o'clock and everything will be in confu
sion if I don't attend to it persistently.'
lie plunged into the green, dense fast-
nesscs of the woods, talking resistlcssly to
himself as he went, and Mr. Nathan
Tripler was left solas in a coarse straw hat
aud a coat of coarse blue cloth, garnished
with huge metal buttons, whose brilliance
was considerably tarnished.
'Dear me, what a figure I cut,' groaned
Mr. Tripler, eyeing himself with disgust
'I must go directly home aud get on some
thing decent A man would be hooted
through the streets of New York if he ven
tured to make bis appearance in such a
costnme as this ?'
lie rose, brushed away the chill drops of
perspiration from his forehead, and was
just replacing the crimson silk pocket
handkerchief in its resting place when he
was suddenly grasped from behind and
thrown skillfully upon the ground.
'Well, we've cotched you at last my
hearty,' said a burly man who stood over
him, while another had bound both his
hands and feet together before he could
find words or breath to remonstrate. 'You
thought you was going to giye us the slip,
hey V Come, it isn't worth while to cut up
like that, you kuow, unless you want the
straight jacket brought out'
'Straight jacket ?' gasped Tripler, 'what
do I want of a straight jacket ?'
'Nothing ; unless you behave yourself
unruly liko. Steady, then ! Tom, bring
up the wagon.'
'Where are you taking me to ?' remon
strated our hero, as he was tumbled into a
one-horse wagon.
'To the asylum to be sure, where you
would have been two hours ago if you
had'ut been a little too spry for the stage
driver and your keeper.'
Light began to dawn on the troubled
choas of Mr. Tripler's much bewildered
mind.
'It's all a mistake, my good fellows a
rediculouB mistake,' he exclaimed. 'I'm
not a madman ?'
'No, of course not ; we know you're
not,' responded the larger of the two, with
a wink to his companion 'Drive on Tom.'
'But I am not, indeed ; you are mistak
ing me for somebody else a man who just
forced me to exchange hats and coats with
biin. and went down into the woods he is
the madman !'
'Oh, no- -I guess not,' said the big keep
er, with a fearful attempt r,t pleasant irony.
'My good men, you are laboring under
some very singular delusion,' remonstrated
the victim, trying to speak plainly between
the jolting of the wagon and his own ex
citement 'I am Mr. Nathan Tripler, of
No. , John Street'
'Oh, yes,' said tho keeper, lighting a ci
gar, ye?terday you was Napolebn Bon
aparte, and to day you're Nathan Tripler,
and to-morrow likely as not you'll be
the king of the Sandwich Islands. I've
heard this kind o' talk afore.'
Tripler's heart began to stand still with
undeGued horror. Was this a hideous
dream ? or was he to be actually immured
within the high stone walls of the asylum
he had often walked past, feeling of dread
and horror beyond description, the life-long
victim of some scarce credible mistake. In
vain he reasoned, argued, protested ; his
words fell on the unheeding ears of his two
conductors like drops of rain pattering on
the stony surface ot the Table Rock, until
at length he was carried more dead than
alive into a narrow apartment at the end
of a long row of similar ones.
It was lighted and ventillated by an iron
grating in the door, with a corresponding
window high up in the wall, and furnished
with only a narrow couch and a stand
built into the wall ; and there, Mr. Nathan
Tripler, released from big confining bonds,
was left to enjoy the uninterrupted society
of his own cheerless meditations.
'It can't be possible ! I must bo asleep
and dreaming !' thought Nathan.
But it was possible, hnd ho never was
wider awake in his life 1
Toward evening, a pitcher of water and
a piece of bread were dealt out to him.
Mr. Tripler ate it under a sort of mental
protest to relieve tho gnawing sensation of
faintness that was at his vitals.
What would I give for one of Dorothy's
hot biscuits,' thought the wretched cap
tive. 'My poor little Dorothy ! I have
been hard upon her. Suppose I should
die without being able to tell how ashamed
I am of having been a brute !'
It was not dry bread that choked Na
than Tripler just then it was the humilia
ting sense of his own sins and shortcom
ings.
Next morning it was bread and water
again. Nathan thought of Dorothy's de
spised coffee and grumbled at steak.
'I've deserved it,' thought Nathan,
thers V no mistake about that Toor, dar
ling little Dorothy ! how her heart is ach
ing for me now. I wish I could stroke
down her hair just once. Oh, it's bard
to he treated so. even though I know I'm
served exactly right If I ever get out of
this hole alive, Dorothy will find me a
chauged man.'
The confused current of thoughts was
just eddying vaguely through his mind
when there was a sound of steps and voices
in the long corridors without
'I suppose they're going to put on a
straight waistcoat now,' thought Mr. Trip
ler, with a resigned air. 'Well, there's
nothing left for me but to endure. I don't
think I'm mad ; but how long I shall hold
out sane uuder the circumstances is rather
a doubtful question.'
But Mr. Tripler was mistaken about the
strait waistcoat it was his keeper instead,
accompanied by two or three gentlemen
all profuse in apologies and sympathetic
ejaculations. .
'Such a mistake !" said one old. gentle
man with a bald head. .
'So ackward for you, my dear sir !' said
another middle aged gentlemen with a Ro
man nose. - - .
'But entirely inintentional, I assure you,
sir,' chimed in a third.
While Mr. Tripler looked vaguely from
one to another, he said :
"Then I'm not mad, it seems ?' he de
manded. Not a particle, sir !' cried the three com
mittee men in chorus. ' ' - " : '
'Oh !' said Mr. Tripler, 'I'm glad to hear
it I' '
Then the committee proceeded to inform
their involuntary guest how the mistake
had happened by which his identity bad
been confounded with that of his mysteri
ous acquaintance of the woods. -
'We are very sorry,' said the first com
mittee man shaking Mr. Tripler's hand as
if it had been the town pump.
'So am I,' said Mr. Tripler, laconically.
'Here is your hat and coat, sir,' said the
second committee man. 'We bad great
difficult in getting tbem away from our
poor friend in the Incurable .Ward, who
fancied they were the last dying bequest of
President Lincoln.'
And anythiug we can do to make any
atonement for the awkward mistake would
be a pleasure,' said the third ; while the
keeper eyed Mr. Tripler dubiously, as if
not altogether certain but that he was a lit
tle mad after all.
When Mr. Nathan Tripler reached his
home, all was the wildest grief and confu
sion there. Dorothy bad had the woods
searched, the river dragged, and the whole
vicinage ransacked and was now in hys
terics in the nursery. Nathan walked
straight in and put both arms around her.
'ITere I am, Dottie? Don't cry no
more.
But Mrs. Tripler cried more than ever.
It's only a dream,' she sobbed forth,
'Nathan is dead.'
'No, I'm not dead,' said Mr. Tnpler
with a grim sense of humor, 'only I've
been mad.' And quieting his wife's sobs
after it while, he told her all his adventures.
And now is dinner ready ?' he asked, 'for
I am as hungry as a bear.'
'I haven't a thing in the house to eat,
Nathan dear, wailed his wife.
'I don't care if its nothing but dry bread
and molasses, Dottie,' said the husb:ind.
'I can tell you that asylum took some of
the nonsense out of me. I shall never
grumble again, don't be afraid.'
And Dorothy brightened up. it was
the first time he bad called ber 'Dottie,'
or spoke so tenderly, since their honeymoon
was in its crescent glow.
lie adhered to his good resolutions he
never did grumble again. The asylum had
done him genuine good !

Youxo Men, Read This. A Lont
Branch correspondent of tho New York
Times write : The want most sadly felt
is of men. Young, unmarried men would
be preferred, but men of any age would be
accepted. Pretty girls, wearing costly
clothes, able to dance gracefully, having
wealthy parents, without matrimonial en
gagements, are compelled to take other
girls for partners in waltzes and quadrilles
There was never a better chance for good
looking, . well-bred young men. Circum-"
spect behavior and strict attention to busi
ness would insure the capture of an heiress
before the close of the season. Why, I
have seen with my own eyes a girl of twen
ty who is plentifully endowed with beauty,
brains and money, rejoicing in the society
of a boy of sixteen and he was crosseyed
and freckled. In a New York parlor she
would wrinkle her nose at him ; but here
she is glad to get his companionship, be
cause she sees other girls, without even
cross-eyed freckled boys for beaux, envying
her.'

Ice 80,000 Years Old. The altitude
of the Steven's mine ou Mount McClellan
is 12,500 feet' At the depth of from 30 to
200 feet the crevice matter, consisting of
silica, calcite and ore, together with the
surrounding wall rock, is a solid frozen
mass. McClellan is one of the highest
eastern spurs of the snowy range. It has
the form of a horse shoe, with a bold es
carpment of feltspathic rock nearly 2,000
trly 2,000 J
is nead
feet high, which in some places
perpendicular.
Nothing unusual occurred until"' a dis
tance of some eighty or ninety feet had
been made ; then the frozen territory was
reached, and it has continued for over 200
feet There are no indications of a thaw,
summer or winter. The whole frozen ter
ritory is surrounded by hard, massive
rock, and the lode itself is as bard and
massive as the rock.
The miners, being unablcr to excavate
the frozen material with pick or drill, found
that the only way was to kindle a large
wood fire at night against the back end of
the tunnel, and in the morning take out"
the disintegrated ore. This has been the
mode of miuing for more than two years.
The tunnel is over two hundred feet deep,
and there is no diminution of the frost.
There is, so far as can be seen, no opening
or channel through which the frost could
possibly have reached such a depth from the
surface. There are other mines in 'the
same vicinity in a like frozen state. The
mine is an ice house, whose stores have re
mained unthawed for at least eighty thou
sand years.

How to Cube the Passion foe Liquor.
.There is a prescription in nse in Eng
land for the cure of drunkenness, by which
thousands aie said to have been assisted in
recovering themselves. It is as follows :
Sulphate of iron, five grains ; peppermint
water, eleven drachms ; spirits of nutmeg,
one drachm ; twice a day. This prepara
tion acts as a stimulent and tonic, and
partly supplies the place of the accustomed
liquor, and prevents that absolute physical
and moral prostration that follows a sud
den breaking from the use of stimulating
drinks. "Scientific American.

the occupants of a house standing flush
with the street had left the window up,
and ho decided to warn them and prevent

window he called out : neKo ! good peop t

as he staggered back a woman shrieked
out : 'Didn't I tell you what you'd get if
