HOSPITAL I'byaicUn of this celebrated Institution, has discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasaut and effectual remedy In the world Tor all DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.

Syrens to the Mariners of Ulyssea, blighting their most brilliant hopes of anticipations, rendering marriage, Ac, impos- j sible. IOUNG MEN especially, who have become the victims of Soli tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit which annually sweeps to an untimely rav thousands of youn men of the most exalted tulents and brilliant intellect, who might other wise have entranced listening Senates with the thunders of eloam-nce nr waked to ecataor k. living 1 re, may call wllb mil confidence.

T - . . He who places himself nadcr the care of Dr. J. may relitrioanly confide in his tionor as a gentle man, aad coafldentij rely unon his skill asaPbv sician. ORGANIC WfAKNESS. "" v Impotency, Ixks of Power, immediately Cured and full 'igc Restored. - This Distressing Affection which renders Life miserable and marriage impossible is 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 that may ensqe. Now, who that understands the subject wl pretend to deny that the power of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into improper habits than by tbe prudent T Besides licing deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring, the most serious and destructive symptoms to both body aBd mind arise. Tbe system becomes de ranged, tbe Physical and Mental Functions Weakened, Loss of Procreatlve Power, Nervous Irritability, Dyspe, .ia, Palpitation of tbe Heart, Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting of the Frame, Cough, Consumption. Decay and Death. A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAY8. Persons ruined in health by unlearned prcteu ders who keep them trilling month after month, taking poisonous and injurious compounds, should apply Immediately. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeous, Lon don, Graduated from one of tbe most eminent Col'eg in the United States, and the greater art of whose ife has been spent in tbe boopitalg of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere, bus etlected some of the 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 soands, basbfiiiticss, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured Immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who nave injurrd themselves by improper indulgence and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting tlicm for either business, study, society or mar riage. '1 uese are some of the sad and melancholy effects produced by early habits of youth, vir: Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in tbe Biirkand Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitation of the Ueart, Dyspepsy, Nervous Irritability, Deraugement of Diirestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con cuinption, Vc. Mentally The fearful effects on the mind are much to be dreaded Lost of Memory, Con fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Forcbodimrs, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are some of tbe evils produced. TnorsAKfts of persons of all ages can now judge what is tbe cause of their declining health, loing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous and emaciated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, cough and ymptom of consump tion. YOUNG MEN Who have Injured tb mselves by a certain prac tice indulged in when alone, a babit frequently learned from evil companions, or at school, the e licet s of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impos sible, and destroys both mind and body, should upply Immediately. What pity that a young man, th hope of his country, the darling of bis parents, should be anatcbt-4 from all prospects and enjoyments o life, by tbe consequence of deviating from the path of nature and indulging ic a certain secret habit. Such irons MtT before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind and body are the nios1 necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, tbe journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; tbe prospect hourly darkens to tbe view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly reflection, that tbe happiness of another become bl&bted with our own. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary ot pleasure Cnds that be has imbibed the seeds ol this painful disease, it too often happens that an ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters bim from applying to those who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend bim, delaying till tbe constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural pains in the bead and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on tbe shin bones and tnns, blotches on the bead, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the tlate of tbe mouth or tbe bones of tbe nose fall in, and tbe victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of cojnmlM ration, till death puts a period to his- dreadful suffering, by sending him to 44 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 unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by tbe use of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution, and incapable of curing, keep tbe unhappy sufferer tMonlb after month taking, tbeir 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 bis galling disappointment. To such, therefore, Dr. Johhbtow pledges him self to preserve tbe -most Inviolable Secrecy, and from his extensive practice and observations in the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first ic his country, vie: England, Frauce,'Philadepbia md elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cr iu, speedy and effectual remedy in the world or all diseases of imprudence.

If the Autumn winds are all In a tender sort of swoon, You can bear the cricket call, Any Autumn afternoon ; And should you heed him, soon, You will hear, it may befall, Dreamy language wing its way Throngh his low and dreamy lay : "By the mist-cmpurpled skies, By the red leaves lying eear, I know that Summer dies. In the lands that held her dear. And wth bis sparkling spear, With bis icy-brilliant eyes, Snowy-bearded Winter speeds On his whitest of white steeds ! "Oh, the days will shortly be Wbcu here I must not cheep, But in some black chink and woe Of some old fireside creep To sleep, and wake, and sleep, By the great log's yellow glee, Aud slowly find, no doubt, All the family secrets out. "From the hearth-fire's viewless flr.il I can see the spark-cbafffiy, Ere that ashy film and pale Furs the embers by-and-by, How much better taste have I Thau my relative, the Snail, Toasting here, as fate appoints, My extravagnnt hip-joints ! "Hear the clock's quick tick, above Even the bitter north-wind's roar. Here old grandma, like a dove, Coo her surreptitious snore ; Hear the lovers 'angh and more, See the lovers making love ! And hear the purr of that Tawny Sybarite, our cat ! "How I barken, while I bask To I'jc hum the kettle makes ! In li 13 dull prossuie task How much merriment be takes! Ah, for me that kettle makes All the nightingale I ask, Except it be, mayhap. The piue log's bubbling sap ! "Why does Mary grow so pink If she has not had a kiss ? It is line you lovers think. To be making love like this. Yet a pleasant blaze, I wis, Aud a cozy little cbiuk, Bring quite as much content To the cricket temperament ! "While the golden rods, Iu seas. Plume tbe laues uud dales with gold. While a glory smites the trees. Aud the sumac-leaves burn bold, In my longing heart I hold These, and pleluies like to these, Waiting days more bleak and drcr.r, That my fireside voice can cheer ! "Oh, for winds of boleinu tune, Oh, for cLilli-lighted skies ! Since she cannot die too soou, Oh, too slow the Summer dies !" Now in just this dreamy wise, On nn autnmu afternoon.

Captaiu James Thompson was au early settler in the Buffalo valley, and during the predatory incursions of savages was taken and carried into captivity. Several incorrect publications of his sufferings have been made, but the following is be lieved to be correct, tss it was taken down from his own hps. Sometime previous to . his capture he had removed his wife aud children to Tenu's creek for greater securi ty agaiust tie Indians. Iu March, 1781, he was going from Lewisburg to his farm rrep:iratory to moving down the country. Ou the road bvtween the farms of John Linn and Col. John Kelly, he was sudden ly surprised by four Iudians aud compelled to go along with them. When they -jame to the hollow, half a mile from Kelly's house, they discovered a fresh track in the soft clay. One "of the Indians exclaimed "Squaw !" Two of them iumediately set off on a run, aud two remained to guard Thompson one behind aud one in front. They soon heard a female scream, when the Indian behind Thompson struck him on the back with his guu nnd cried "Waugh !" (meaning run). They started off on a run, and on reaching the top of the hill, saw the other two Indians with a wo man, when they pushed oil immediately for aa Indian town on Towanda creek. They crossed the White Deer and other mountains north of Buflalo Valley, and came to the river near the mouth of Ly coming croek, which they crossed in ca noes. During the night they tied Thomp son's arms behind him and fastened the cord to grubs iu the ground. One night while encamped on Lycoming creek, not being lied very securely, he succeeded in releasing his arms. Two of the Indians lay on the other side with him. He first endeavored to get one of their tomahawks, bat he discovered that they were all lyiug ou their aims. He then got a stone which the Indiaus had for crushing corn, and raised on his kuccs, pieparatory to giving one of his captors a mortal stroke on the temple aud securiug a tomahawk. But on accouut of his head being wrapped in a blanket he struck too high to effect his ob ject. The Indian gave a yell, whieh awoke the others. Thompson now attempted to run, but the cord with which he was tied to the grubs prevented him, and as he stepped back to get around them, one of the eavages caught him by the collar of his coat and iu the struggle tore it to the bot tom. An Indian drew his tomakawk to strike him ou the head, but desisted, and spoke to the one Thompson had wounded 1 in his own language; thtn drew his weapon again, and again desisted ; he once more spoke to his wounded comrade, and drew his tomahawk the third time. Thompson fully expected to receive it this time, and ( was resolved to try and catch it and wret u irom his band. Hat the Indians Dually conclude not to kill him, reserving hitn for a more formal execution. They then tied a hollow gourd containing shot to his waist, tilling him that tbis was his death- warrant. He could easily escaped himself, but his object was to kill the Indians and thereby rescue the youni: woman also ; but he failed in the attempt. They continued on toward their place of destination. One day they shot a wild turkey, and takhrnta entrails rolled them around a stick, with out any cleaning, roasted in the fire, and gave them to the prisoners to eat. Etfore this they had only a few grains of corn Der day, and this change of diet, says Mr. Thompson, was quite a delicacy. When they got to Towanda the Indians became less careful, thinking he would not attempt to run away again. In the evening they made him gather wood for their night fires. On one occasion 7hen gathering wood he managed to go further away for each load. till he got as far as he thought it was pra- dent to try, and watching an opportunity when they were uot observing him, darted off into the woods as fast as he could run, with twenty-two grains of corn in his pock ci lor provision 10 travel a lournf-v of many miles through the wilderness. He j said he could have made bis escape on sev- eral occasions, but he could not think of leaving Mary Young a prisoner with them She frequently urged bim to escape, and not to try to rescue her, as it would onlv tteieat Doth, bhe was resisned to her Cite He took a different route at first from that tovrard home to decieve the Indians in par- suit. In running he stepped on a rotten stick which broke and made a noise at the same time he heard two trees rubbing to- ethcr with the wind which he took to be the Iudian8 in pursuit. Being terribly frightened he ran into a pond and hid him self in the brush with nothing out but his head, where he lay till he was satisfied they were not coming that way. He then proceeded on his journey, keeping along the mountains lest he might meet Indians in the valleys. Oue night he run almost into an Indian's encampment before seeing it. He went a little higher up the hill where he could plainly see the Indians pass between him and the fire. At another time bo came very near an encampment, when an Indian cave a yell, and he sup posed he was discovered, but he squatted down immediately, nnd remained quiet iu the bushes ; in a short time one of the In dians commenced chopping wood, when he knew they had not seen him, and care fully paesed around them. He struck the West Branch a few rods above where they had crossed going out, and fonnd one of the canoes on the bank, the river having fallen. Being so weak he was unable to push it into the water, but getting two round sticks under it for rollers with the the aid of a hand spike, he succeeded in launching it. On getting in he discovered that the other sank, wh4n he went to work and bailed it out, and lashing the two to ,frtw1 irlth fwn rvAlWpn hi vnv ag?. He rowed to the middle of the river, so that if the Indians should pursue him, and shot, they would not be so likely to hit him. One of his paddles accidentally dropped out and floated off, which he re gretted vcty much ; but on getting into an eddy it floating up to his canoe, nnd was recovered. When his craft got opposite to 1 Bnnrli tn nn w lie it: " He was so weak that bo lay in the canoe, and waved his hat to them on shore,which attracted their attention. . When taken out he was so weak that he could not relate his adventures for several days, having to be nourished with sweet dj'iIk, till he regain ed strength sufficient to walk. After being able to walk he went to his family, and subsequently removed to Chester county, where they remained till the close of the war. The Iudians took Mary Youug to their town and fct her to hoeing corn. An old man, negroe, who was also a prisoner, told her to dig up the beans that were planted with the corn, and they would think her too dumb to learn agriculture, and would sell her to the Euglish.She took his advice, and was eventually sold to an English cap tain, with whom she remained several vear8. when she was liberated, nnd return ed home. Having been so much exposed during her captivity, her constitution was so shattered that she survived her return but a short time. On their way out she was obliged to wade through deep creeks, aud as the weather was cold her clothes were often frozen into a solid mass of ice. She informed Capt. Thompson that two of the Indians pursued him part of two days. They regretted his escape very much, as they intended to have torlured him. The wouuded Indian left them 6oon after his escape, and she uever heard of him after wards, but supposed he died, as he was badly injured. Capt. Thompson inform ed some friends that he went with his step father, who drove a team to Fort Cumber land at the time of Gen. Braddock's disas trous campaign. He was then a lad of only ten years of age. At that time he saw a woman, a cousin to James Corne lius, who resided in Buffalo township, that had been taken prisoner by Indians during the war. Whan they had taken her a great distance from home she managed to effect her escape, and made her way through the woods alone. The first day she came up with a mare and colt, aud getting on the former, she rode all day. When night came, she turned her out to pasture, and laid herself down by a log for the night,1 never expecting to see lh mare agiin. When she awoke in the moruing the marc and colt stood by her tide. She rode her all that day, aud turned her out to graze whilst she slept, but next morning the faithful animal was there as usual to re ceive her rider. She rode her each day till she arrived at the fort. By some this pecu liar circumstauco would be termed au in terposition of Divine Providence . to pre serve the life of the woman. It is also stated that when she came to the fort the mare would allow no one but the woman to ap proach her, but when turned out to graze that night she made her escape and was never heard of again. In 1832 Captain Thompson went to re side with his son- in-law Boyd Smith in Jersey Shore, where he dice in 1837, aged 93 years, and was buried in the graveyard now embraced in the limits of that borough. He was a One 'old gentleman and is dis tinctly remembered by a large number of people. . Early in th spring of 1782, Cap tain Robertson was ordered to Fort Muncy with his company for the purpose of bnild- inor anil rpnoinn-r .;- f-rt;gcMc-u. TL headquarters were at this station and he rendered valuable services to the country by the vigilent watch he kpt u the In dians. Scouts wtre constantly kept out. and whenever a body of savages appared they were pursued immediately and oblignd to fly. Iu Octolier of this year, a small body of savages came to the house of John Martin in the Chilisquaque setlletnent, near the residence of Colonel James .Murray, aud barbarously murdered him and his wife. They also took from the house two youn women and a little girl seven years of age and carried them off. On the 524th of the same month two men named Lee and Ca ruthers were sent out as spies from For Rise. They were waylaid and fired upon, Lee was killed and Caruthers taken prison er. About this time there lived near where the town of New Berlin now stands. family named Khncsraith. A small part7 of Indians ' comim? unon tl ielr rlwplTinfr " whilst the males of the family were busy in the harvest-field of a neighbor, plundered the house aud carried away two of Kline' smith's daughters, one sixteen the other fourteen years old.

After some time the rain began to fall when Betsey, the eldest of the girls, intimated to the sentinel that she meant to cut down some branches from the trees and cover a small bag of flour which the Indians had brought from her father's house. The Indian, little suspect ing her real intention, rwrmittcd her to take one of the axes or tomahawks. She pretended to be very busily occupied with her task but contrived to gel behind tbe old man and buried the axe in his head. By this time the scalping party, finding the harvesters too numerous and wc:l armed for their purposes, were on their re turn, and had already approached near enough to hear the groan of the old Indian as he fell. The girls fled aud the savages pursued aud fired.

It was about 3 feet long, over three inches in cicumference at the thickest part, with a broad flat head, and was altogether a'jout as venomous and Uiilv looking a snake as ever was. We looked at friend Ball aad winked.

He's been in au actual state of famine for nine years, and I believe that if those days, null Uashinton market had been put into him for dinner, he'd have been a gauat spectre of want and hunger before supper time. 'I got him to work m the shop, along with me, but it wasn't any nst. lis couldt give h;3 mind to tho trade and that vernal hankering for sometbins to cat made him a subject of ridicule with all the hands.
