TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all Uiofc who have iujurrd themselves by improper indulgence and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them far cither business, study, society or mar riage. J HErE are some or the cad ud melancholy eiTects produced by early habits of youth. viz: Weakness of the Back uud Limbs, Pains in the Back and Head, Dimness of bight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con eumption, &e. Mestallt The fearful effects on the mind ore much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evii Forebodings, Avrrsiou to Society, Self-Distrust, ixive ol boiuudc, iiimdity, c, are 6ome of the evils produced. THOVSAxns of persons of all ages can now judge what 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 of consump tion. YOUNG MEN Who have injured th tnselves by a certain prac tice iutlulgcd in when alone, a habit frequently b-nrned from evil companions, or at school, the elleets of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, uud if not cured, renders marriage impos sible, aud destroys both mind and body, should apply immediately. What a pity that a young man, tbe hopcof his country, the darling of his parents, should be snatchei from all prospects and enjoyments ol life,, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature and Indulging in a certain secret habit. Such persona hvt before eontcmriiating 5IAKR1AGE. reflect that a sound mind and body are the mos' necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the Journey th'ough life Incomes a weary pilgrimage; the prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly reflection, that the happiness of another becomes blighted with our own. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary ol pleasure Hods that he has imbibed the seeds ot this painful disease, it loo often hapens that an iTl-timcd sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education aud respectability, can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noetural pains in tbe bead 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 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 sntTering, by sending liiin to " that Undiscovered Country from whence no traveller returns." It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through falling into the hands of Ignorant or nnskiliful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, &c., destroy the constitution, and incapable of curing, keep the unhappv sufferer Honth after month taking their noxious or in jurious compounds, and instead of being restored to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in de pitir leave him with ruined Health to sigh over liis calling disappointment. To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and from his extensive practice and olwervations in the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first ic this country, vix: Eng'.and, France, Philadelphia and elsewhere, Is enabled to offer the most cer tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world fr all diseases of imprudence.

September strews the woodland o'er With many a brilliant color ; The world is brighter than before Why should our hearts be duller? Sorrow and the scarlet leaf, Sad thoughts and sunny weather, Ah me ! the glory and the grief Agree not well together. This Is the parting season this The time when friends are flying, And lovers now, with many a kiss Their long farewells are sighing. Why Is earth so gayly drest T This pomp that autumn bearelh ' A funeral seems, where every guest J A bridal garment wearetb. Each one of us, perchance, may here, On some blue morn hereafter. Return to view the gaudy year. But not with boyish laughter. We shall then be wrinkled men. Our brows with silver laden, And then this glee way'st seek again, But never more a maiden ! ' Nature, perhaps, forsees tiat spring Will tonch her teeming bosom, . And that a few brief mouths will bring The bird, the bee, the blossom. Ah ! these forests do not know Or would less brightly wither The Virgin that adorns them so Will never more come hither. (isrtlhiuons. XASMY'N IX ELATION EXPERIEN CES. Confecrit X Roads, Wicii is the State uv Kentucky JCKY, 375. j . September 17, 18' The man wich undertakes to benelit his fellows loads up a very heavy contract;. Half the citizens uv the Corners area-goio back iu the aost on?;ratcful manner onto tbe Oulimited Confidence and Trust Com pany. They are a gettin 10 a bushel for wheat, and cbout the same for oats and corn, and men now tall: uv thousands wich never before knowd how to pronounce the word, but yet they ain't happy. They have a hantcrin after redemshun of some sort they demand to know when this money uv ourn is goin to be redeemed in suthin else some other kind uv money ez tho our money, backed by faith, waznt ez good ez any in the world. Ef these malconlcuts would only take it and look pleasant, .there woodent be any trouble about it. But these men are not the worst we hev to contend with. The citizens which are the stanchest supporters uv the new money hev determined that, if we hev the right to isho money, they hev the same rile. And so four noo banks hev been started this week. Mackey and Burns started one, with Mackey ez President, and Burns ez cash ier with them, and a nigcer carpenter ez tho Board uv Dirtkters. They hev got the drop on us by requirin the officers to give bonds, which tbey accomDlmhfi nevin Mackey sign Burns', Burns sign Mack cy's, and both sign the nigger carpenter's. Then they hev aoother advantage over us, lor they bought their own press and print their own notes, wleli, wa her- ta pay Simpson, the printer, a profit, enables era to make money cheaper thau we kin. They call their institooshun "The Xashnel Benefit Assoshashen," and hev the bankin cms m a lackey's bed-room in the Pograro House. Srnaeiy ti-u "'ir, bank bistcn out money afore Squire Pettus and Geduey, the shoe maker, started another, wich tney called The Ble89in Diffusion Bauk uv Aarth Ameriky." with their offis in Gedney's shoe shop, and they got jhead of us by printin their oofs iu two colors, which 1 must si'.y, gives em a solvent look. By this time wheat hed got up to 829 per bushel, p.nd wuz scase at that. Then .Parkins and Barney, the plasterers, who hed made a great deal uv money since inflasheu set in, they hed to start a bank, wich they called "The Ekitable and In sashable Banking Companyof the Yoouited States," auU they ishood their bills by the bushel. Wheat went up immejitly lo 38 per bushel, and a noo era uv prosperity sot in. Before those Onauseers hed got fairly under way, B-utts and Bustard couclooded they'd go inl bankin, and behold one inorraiu the bills uv the "Labor Stimyoola tin Cotupauy I- Butts, President" made their appearance. They didn't see no yose uv an offis. He cootl pay out money on the street all he wanted to ef the people wood tane it, aud ez it never wuznt a goin lo be redeemed, wat did he want uv an oflis ? He wuznt a goin to any sich ex pense, for he bleeved in economizin. To go to yooselis expenses wuz to show a cul pable disregard uv the interests uv the people. Wheat went up to S45 per bushel, and there was more prosperity. Then the trouble set in in chunks. The people who wuz not interested in bankin refoozed, pint blank, to take any uv their ishoos. Bands wuz a gettin rather too tikent, and the times wuz a gettin rather too pr;speruS' reackshen okkured aecu our money wich we who wuz inter ested determined lo crush to wuolz.

That this meetin uy citizens inc con tob. dema nd of the Town Council that it ist convene and pass an ordinance the ishoos uv the five banks legal towui makin. tender for everything from drinks down to taxes, and that any citizen who refooses to take it or murmurs at it, or in aov way discredits it, shel be held ez a public enemy and be immejitl? hung. ' The whereases and the resolooshen was passed towunst, and I feUT easier. ' "With tho power to hang all which refooze to take our money, I rather rtiink I kin make it current. A rope ver a limb uv a tree is a persuader of rre merit, and it is the best endorsement ov our paper that we kin pos sibly hev. - So far so good. But just ez I wuz feelin good over my success, that ommitigated cu9f, Jehial Perkins, the man wat give his note to Basconi for a barl uv whisky with sich distinguished success, rose and sed he bed a series of whereases and a resoloosheu to pass. He went on to say that he hed given this question of finance a great deal uv study. He endorsed fully the position uv the Dimocrisy uv Ohio and Pennsyl vany. He beleeved in more money money enuff for everybody. He pinted with pride to the development uv the Corners since tbe crcashun uv more money, and he believed that still more money would make still more prosperity. The idee wuz correct. The government shood ishoo promises to pay, and faith shood make em good without any such nonsense ez redeemin ; and if the govern ment shood do it why shoodnt banks ; if banks, why Dot individuals ? That's wat he wanted to know. Ef tbur wuz eny sich thing cz redeemin uv it in gold or eny thing else the people mite hev the rite to ask if them cz ishood the money bed gold or eny thing else to redeem em with, but ez ther aint no redeemin perposed why that ques tion don't come in. The people hev to hev faith, and that's all the hevin ther is in the transackshen. ne wuz a bleever in more money, and he perposed to hev more mo ney, and he bleeved that them ez hed the greatest need for money shood hev the privilege uv ishooiu it, and so long ez the people took it from each other it answered all the purposes uv money. Therefore he perposed the yoonanimus adopshun uv the followin whereases and resolooshen : Wareas, Ef yoo hev a good thing yoo can't hev too much uv it ; and Waueas, The increese uv currency in the Corners hes bin productive of prosperi ty sich ez we never dreemed uv ; and, Wareas, It is the dooty uv all earthly guvernments to diffoose its blessins ekally, thereby imitatin tbe doo of heayen, wich falls alike on the just and unjust ; and, Waueas, Tho manufakter uv money shood be the privilege of the man ; and, Wareas, We rekognizc the justis and propriety uv compellin the people to lake sich money cz may be ishood ; therefore, be it Resolved, That every man may ishoo his notes uv hand, in such sums ez may soot his interest or convenience, and that sich notes shel be legal tender fur everything, the same ez the notes ishood by our five bankin institooshuns. And the d d ideots absolutely passed the resolooshen without a minit's delay, and they demanded that the Council meet that very nite and pdss the ordinance, wich it did. Ez every man uv commenst writin notes to wuust, and buying all sorts uv things with em, we're liable to have enuff money at the Corners immejitly ez much ez our brethren in Ohio and Pennsylvany wood desire, even. Brcryiiiiog in tUa Rhape uv labor hez bin abandoned, for everybody hez gone into the manufakter uv currency, that is, every body who kin write. " Tbank Heaven that they never favored skools here tu ina bility to shed ink is the only limit to our inilabhen. One singler result hez followed this ordinance, viz ; Nobody hez nothing to sell. I went into a shoe store yesterday, thinking to treat myself to a pare of boots, but the deeler hadn't any to sell. 'But I see a hundred pare, on the shelves,' sed I. 'They hev all bin bought by people over in the next county,' sed this viDin ; 'they wuz bought for gold. Possibly ef yoo hed gold I cood get one uvem to sell you a pair hisself.' And he sed suthin about bringiu a horse to water, but yoo coodent make him drink. It is plain to me that more k-gislashun is a goiu to be necessary. Up to a certain pint lhey took our money, but somehow them ez aint a makin it are a fitin shy uv it. Petroleum V. Nasby, President uv the Onlimited Trust and Con fidence Company. P. S. More trouble. Basconi sez he's got to hev something to go to Looisvllle with beside our paper, or he'll bev to close. Aud all the mechanics in the village, who hev to buy things in Looisville, are clam orin for suthin they kin buy with, and threaten, ef they don't get it, to bust things. Wun uv em impudently sed that afore the inflation period they didn't hev much money, but they cood doo suthin with wat they hed. And the people ap plauded tho disturber. 2d P. S. Basconi hez jist come in. Tbe last drop uy likker iz gone, and he swears he'll close his bar ef we don't do suthin towunst. I hev called a meetin of the Di rekters. Ef Bascom closes we are lost for ever. The Corners kin git on with any thing but that. I kin get on awhile, for I hev a jug in reserve, but Heaven help them who is not provided. P. V. X. Unpleasant Companions. Two tigers and zebra were shipped from Ogdensburg to a menagerie in Vermont. The tigers were put in separate boxes, and the zebra was tied in one corner of the car. During the night one of the tigers broke out of the box, and roamed around the car, from which, however, he could not obtain egress. It would appear that before the car left a youg man had surreptitiously hidden him self away in the car to steal a ride to St. Albans, not knowing what kind of travel ing companions he was to have. Fancy his feelings on awaking in the night and finding the tiger sniffing around the car. xTe can well believe him when he says it . ned to be six months before their ar- BUCb .... rival a St- Albaus, where the tiger's nose was seeu protruding througti me space m tho door leA to admit the air. Elingard, who was in t.'ie sleeping car in the rear, was quickly called, when the poor traveler was relieved from his perilous position. Great drops of perspiration stood upon his brow when brought to light, and he prob ably will not soon forget his night in a rail road car with a loose tiger. why and When Lamps Explode. All explosions of coal oil lamps are caused by tbe vapor or gas that collects in the space above the oil. When full of course a lamp contains no gas, but immediately on lighting the lamp, consumption of oil, be gins soon leaving a space for gas, which commences to form as the lamp warms up, and after burning a short time sufficient gas will accumulate to form an explosion. The gaa in a lamp will explode only when ignited. In this respect it is like gun pow der. CSeap or inferior oil is always the most dangerous. The flame is communicated to the eas in the following manner : The wick tube in all lamps is made larger than the wick which is to pass through it. It would col do to have the wick work tightly in the burner ; on the contrary, it is essential that it move up and down with perfect ease. In this way it is unavoidable that space in the tube is left along the sides of the wick sufficient for the flame from the burner to pass down into the lamp and explode the gas. .r, . Many things may occur to cause the flame to pass down tbe wick tube and ex plode the lamp. 1. A lamp may be standing on a table or mantle and a slight puff of wind from the open window, or the sudden opening of a door, cause an explosion. I 2. A lamp may be taken up quickly from a table or mantle and instantly explode. 3. A lamp is taken into au entry where there is a draft, or out of doors, and an ex plosion ensues. 4. A lighted lamp is taken up a flight of stairs or is raised quickly to place it on the mantle, resulting in an explosion. In all thcae cases the mischief is done by the air movement either by suddenly checking the draft or by forcinz air down the chim ney against the flame. o. Blowing down the chimney lo extin guish the light is a frequent cause of ex plosion. C. Lamp explosions have been caused by using a chimney broken off at the top, or one that has a piece broken out, whereby the draft is rendered variable and the flame unsteady. 7. Sometimes a thoughtless person puts a small-sized wick in a large burner, thus leaving considerable space in the tube along the edges of the wick. 8. An old burner, with its draft clogged up, which rightfully should be thrown away, sometimes continued in use, and the final result is an explosion. Winking Oxen. Of course we, can drive the oxen home, we told the farmer. The idea ot doubling our ability, when we have seen them handled every day for tbe past month I He banded over the long whip and started them, we taking the proper po sition just in front. It was easy enough, though rather monotonous, till we met a team goiDg the other way ; then we 4geed' those oxen into a ditch, and running against a tree came to a standstill. We received a pleasant smile from the teamster, as we had given him the whole road. But there we were. We hollered 'gee,' 'haw,' and 'back,' till our throat felt rough. We couldn't get ahead unless we borrowed an ax and cut the tree down, and when we tried to back them they spread out from tho pole, aud stood face to face, nearly choking themselves. Then our patience gave out , we kicked the near one in the ribs ; he playfully re torted by switching us across the face with his flv-dieperser. We lit a pipe and puffed smoke into their nostrils. Tins wm a hap py thought ; they sneezed over us and backed, hut forgot to stop until they got a slone wall between them. We went home to horror a steam derrick, but before the arrangements made the oxen came in view and calmly stewed iu front of the barn. You may think there ja nothing human iu an ox. but they saw us, aud one had a positive grin on his face. We re frain from expressing our opinion of oxen. Nothing can be worse for a child than to be frightened. The effect of the scare it is slow to recover from ; it remains some times until maturity, as is shown in many instances in morbid sensitiveness and ex cessive nervousness. Not unfrequently, fear is employed as a means of discipline. Children are controlled by being made to believe that something terrible will happen them and punished by being shut up in dark rooms, or by being put in a place they' stand in dread of. No one without vivid memory of his childhood, can comprehend how eutirely cruel such things are. We have often heard grown persons tell of the suffering they have endured, as little child ren under like circumstances, and recount the irreparable inquiry which they are sH they have received. No parent, no nurse, capable of alarming the young is fitted for her position. Children, as nearas possible, should be trained not to show the sense of fear, which above everything else is to be feared in their education, early and late. How Thunder Suoweks Come Up. In order to convey a more definite idea of our theory, we will choose a certain locali ty which may serve the purpose of a dia gram to our demonstration ; and this lo cality shall be the region of Westfield river. This river takes its rise among the forests near the summit of the Green Mountains, at a height of some 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, and flowing southearterly forty or fifty miles, empties into the Con necticut river about ten miles from the southern boundary of the State. During a hot summer day the sides of the deep valley of this river till with intense heat, and cause a flow of moist air upward towards the summit of the mountain ridge, from the valley of thel Connecticut, and also from the sea. This moist air, meeting with the general current from the south west, piles up an immense mass of cumu lous cloud, of many square miles in extent. So long as this great heat lasts the cloud increases iu aizc ; grows black and blacker with its dense vapor, and casts a gloomy, lurid glare over the face of nature, darker, than that of any eclipse. The vapor pushed up by tbe ascending currents of heated air attains to a great height above the sea, where the temperature is very low. But finally, at that hour of the afternoon when the heat begins to decline, the accumulated vapors, no longer augmented or sustained by heated air from the valleys below, fall in rain.
