If you are suffering or have suffered from Involuntary discharges, what effect does it produce upon your general health? Do you thel wink, debili tated, easily tired? Does a litUe exertion pro. duce palpitation of the heart? Does your liver or urinary organs, or your kidneys, frequently get out of ordert Is yournrincsometinietthick, tlocky, or Is Ur ropy on GO:Una? Or does a thick scum rise to the top? Or is a sediment at the bottom after it has stood awhile? Do 'ran have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels constipated? Do yon barn spells of fainting or rushes of blood to the bend? Is your memory impaired? Is your mind con stantly dwelling upon this subject? Doyou feel dull, Walesa, moping, tired of company, of life? Do you wish to be left alone, to get away from everybody? Does any little thing make you start or jump? IS your sleep broken or restless? Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The bloom on your cheek as bright? Opp:mei:oy yourself in society as well? Doyou pursue your business with the suite energy? Do you feel as much confidence in yourself? Are you!' spirits dull and gagging, given to fits of melancholy? Deo,' do not lay it to your Us er or dyspepsia. Have you restless, nights? Your back weak, your knees weak, and have but little appetite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver coin— plaints? Now, reader, sel t-abuse, venereal diseases bad ly cured, and sexual excesses, arc all capable of producing a weakness of the generative organs., of generation, when In perfect health, make rho man . . Did you ever think that those bold, defi ant, energetic, persevering, successful business men are always those whose generative organs are in perfect health? You never hear such men complain of being melancholy, of nervous of palpitation of the heart. They are nev er afraid they cannot succeed in business; they don't become sad and discouraged; they are al ways polite and pleasant in the company of la dies, anti look you and them right In the face 7 none of your downcast looks or any other mean ness about them.

Political battles, like those of a more bloody nature, depend for their re sults more on the skill,courage, determination and energy of the contesting foes than upon the sacredne.s of their cause, or theconvietions of the participate. The Democracy of America have always stood forth as devotedly attached to the Union, the Constitution and the wel fare of .the country as they do to-day, yet for seven, years tliey have hem!. divested- of power, and it is only when the people are aroused from their delusion by the imperilled condition of The" public interests, that they haYe -again returned to us that confidence' which it would have been well if they had never parted with.

The young men must be encouraged to lend a helping hand. Those who have been led estray must be brought back to the fold, and Democratic arguments placed in their reach, that they may know the distinctive questions which divide par ties, and no longer be misled by the wiles and falsehoods of the Opposition. What we have Said before we now'reiter ate, and intend reiterating until we have waked the Democracy up to a full conscious• ness of its truth, that the most effective ;weapon towards success is the wide dixtrZu elfin of wand and straightforieard [oral news• One good journal in a family' will do more towards moulding it, political convictions than all other influences, and fifty copies cir culated in any * locality for six months will accoMplish more efficient service than a doz en costly mass meetings. The Democratic party has never displayed that zeal in supporting its press that it need ed, and to that cause, as latch as anything else, may be attributed its Mistdrtunesduring the last ten years. In all sections , of the country—even in the titidst of the strongest Democratic localities—the Radical press is more liberally sustained than ours, and in many places the contrast is' sn. great as al most to amount to a disgrace. The time has come for these things to be changed, and for the Democratic party to enter apon a new niethtid bf warfare. Our papers ought to be spread broadcast over the land, and take the place of those which are now defiling the minds of the young and filling them with wrong ideas of Republican liberty. Our public men should avail tlicitt selves of every opportunity that offers to MI; press the importance of these vieivs on the attention of the masses. Our local leaders should make a' point 'of devoting whatever. spare time they can towards strengthening their county organs by procuring their friends' and neighbors' 'patronage. . • The low price of TWO DOLLARS per year at which the :Observer is now offered if pa,il in adrance, ought to ensure the doub ling of our subscription list inside of the next six months.

Mrs. Anaitabia Brown, better known as the widow Brown, owned and cultivated a small farm of ten acres in a little Pennsylvn nia town. The .humble 'homestead correa- voided in size to the farm, being a one-story cottage, comprising ,but three rooms. The land was not very productive, but Mrs. Brown had only herself to proVide for, and although her income would hardly warrant her in living luxuriously, on the other hand there was no danger or the almshouse. On the whole the widow might be considered comfortably provided for, though her boost' and farm together would have been dear at a thousand dollars. But :Ili's. Anastasia wa-1 not contented:, She was an ambitious wotnan,and bent upon bettering herself if the opportunity ever pre sented. To a lady under her circumstances a second marriage with an eligible pasty seemed to be the, readiest road to higher sta tion. But the widow's Tetsonal advantages were hardly of a character to inspire very' lively hopes in that direction. She was tall and gaunt,"and her share of the perishable but rather desirable gift of beauty had been below the average.- Besides, she was now foray-five, and therefore of rather doubtful juvenility. It chanced that the wealthiest man in town was a certain Squire Ebenezer Pogram, who, in addition to an excellent farm of three hundred acres, had a comfortable sum in vested in stock and bonds. He was a wid ower, and in the market. Ilk wife would be the foremost lady in the village. For this position there was more than one aspirant, but among them all none apparently stood so poor a chance as Mrs. Anastasia Brown But none the less the widow laid her plans to capture the citadel, and circumstances, aided, by her . own shrewdness, assisted her to ac complish it. About this time the petroleum fever was at its height. There was a wild excitement general not only hi the districts where petro leum had been discovered, but speculation was life in the commercial capital, and com panies with flaming proqwetuses were daily springing into existence. Farms which would have been considered dear at twenty dollars an acre, all at once enhanced in value 'to tidy, or even an hundred fold, and ilk! owners, who had hitherto found it difficult._ to earn a scanty subsistence, all at once found • themseVes rich beyond their wildest dreams. Among those who cherished hopes of wealth from this source was Squire Pogram. He saw no reason why his own acres might not prove to be flowing with. oil, and he in stituted some prelimitru y investigations which had only resulted lu disappointment. Though already a man of abundant means, he was inclined to be grasping, and had no objection to doubling or trebling his proper. ty. In fact the love of money was the ruling passion with the Squire, and this was not un- I known to his townsmen. Mrs. Brown, aware of this fact, determined upon a map d' etat, if we may so call it, with a view of tiking by assault the hand_ of the Squire—for his heart she cared little. One morning the expressman brought to Mrs. Brown's house a keg, which was evi dently full of some liquid. • "Fitly cents, widder," he said, as he lugged it into the back room, and deposited it in the corner, "it's rather hefty:" "Yes," said the widow, "molasses is heavier'n most anything else." "Molasses, Is it t Wall, now,l reckon it will take you a mighty long while to use up a keg full of molasses." "I'm fond of it," said the widow shortly. "res r but there ain't but one on ye." "I don't know but I shall take a boarder or two if I can get them," said Mrs. Brown, impoverishing a fib on the spur of the mo ment. "Then yuu'll have to piece outyour house, I reckon." 'Mc widow was glad when the expressman with his intrusive, curiosity NM gone. In the country it is very common to comment with the utmost freedom upon the plans and proceedings of one's neighbors, and this some times has its disadvantages. • The widow did not open the keg until the next day. Then, instead of molasses, she found the contents to be petroleum oil. It might have have been supposed that the sub stitution would have proved vexatious, but the widow took it very cooly. She managed to get the keg down the cellar stairs, where she locked it up in a e 1, ,, et. First, however, she filled a common water-pail with the prd eious liquid, and going to the well deliber ately poured it down. Atter this rather sin gular prticeeding, she looked carefully up the road until she saw a horse and buggy ap proaching, which she well knew belonged to Squire Pogram, who always came over the road about that time to visit a small house which he was building for tenants a mile be yond. The Squire wa.l just abreast of the, cottage, when the widow ran out and hailed him. "0, Squire Pogrom," she said, "won't you just drive into the yard a minute? The water in my welt ta , les so strangely. I do,believe it's petroleum." "Petroleum!" The Squire picked up his ears, and made all baste to do as requested. "you ( bait say so,witlder !" he exclaimed, "when did you notice it fast 1" "I didn't really notice it much until to day," sail - Mrs. Drown. "It might have tasted a little queer maybe, but to-duy its very strong." "Let.me taste'," said. the Squire. "I can tell if it's that or something else. It may be some dead critter that's got drowned in the well and poisoned the water." • "0, I hope not," said the widow in a tone of alarm. "I wouldn't have my well stilled for a good "Except by petroleum," suggested the Squire. "I'atinpose you'd be reconciled to that." "Well, yes;' owned the widow, "I wouldn't mind that." - By this time they had reached the well, and the Squire had already-commenced low ering the bucket. The widow was quitetonfident of the re sult, the oil having been so recently poured in. Still she felt a momentary alarm lest it had become so diffused that the portion of ' water drawn up world show scant places of admixture. But - when the bucket came again to the top, she was reassured. On the surface of the water was a coating of ail. That was clear enough. The Squire looked at it eagerly. His re cent experiments qualified' him to judge in the matter. - Ile was silent a moment. "Well, Squire Pogram, what do you think: asked Mrs. Brown eagerly."l do' believe you're right, wilder," said the Squire . " Pm inclined to tko opinion that it's genuine petroleum." "Yon don't say . so, Squire ! Weil, I'm in luck for once in a way." ' - "I ain't certain. Suppose you give inc a dipper, and I'll taste on't." The dipper was brought, and Squire Peg ram did taste. The taste produced some contortions of the face, for' petroleum oil as a beverage can scarcely he regunled as pleas ant even when largely diluted with fresh well water. . _ • "Well, Squire ?" "Mrs. Brown, there ain't a donut of it. There's a petroleum spring on your farm, and it has broken out in your well." sakes, Squire, who would have the light_ it I and there ain't another petroleum well m town "No, that is none Lave appeared yet, though I have reason to think some may be found on my farm." "It's so unexpected, Squire," said the wid ow, meditatively, "I really don't know what to do about it. 'What vonld you advise! You've always been n friend, and I can de. Pend on vo' advice." "Well," said the Squ ire, clearing his tfiroat, and speaking in a cautious tone, "I think I'd sell the farm" "Sell the farm!" ejaculated the widow. "Yes," continued her adviser more eonfi dently,"being a lone woman, you can't sink wells, and work the petroleum yourselfl 4 ' "But, Squire Pog,ram, I'd ought to get the benefit. o' , urtaitily, the farni-is worth more than it, was.. I shouhln't mind giving two, well, three thousand dollars tor it, and that is more than three' times what it would have fetched befbre." "I don't hardly think I want to sell it for MO. Squire. I get my living off it." , "Yes, w•idder, but consider what would be the Interest of three thousand dollars in vested in Government bonds—seven-thirties, for instance. Why, it would be more than two hundred dollars a year." • "Yes, Squire, but ,that wouldn't hardly support me." "11l tell you what, wilder, I'll give you tineO,thommnd dollars, and you shall live iu the house rent free as long as you choose. Come, that's sayin' fair, isn't it ? "On the whole, Squire," said the N 1 il}* ONV, "I don't think I'll decide just yet. S'eems to me the trim ought to bring more'n three three thoui-and dollars. I'm obliged to you for your friendly offer, but I guess I'd better take time to consider, and perhaps consult some other friends." "Widder," said Squire Pogram, feeling that the rich prize was in danger of slipping, from his ,grasp, " Pll tell you what, I know it's foolish, but, as you're an old friend, I won't mind' making it four thousand dollars. It may be my loss, but it'll be your gain." "I'm sure you're very kind, Squire, and T. hope I'm properly grateful for your kind in terest, but I hope you won't be offended if I don't decide just yet. I think I'd better go and see lawyer Norcroes." "Don't go and see hint whatever you do," said Squire Pogrom hastily., for he feared that the lawyer would oYer-bui him. "Promise me to consider my offer till afternoon, and _until then not to tell a living soul about what you've found in the well." - "Very well, Squire, r'll agree to that. 'Tsn't long to wait till then." "I'll call again at three," said the Squire. "Don't forget your promise." "I won't." said the widow. The Squire drove nut of the yard, and the widow, with a smile of triumph, looked after him. "I'm pretty sure of being, Mrs. Pogram, if I work my cards right," she thought. _ Meanwhile the Squire drove away in .v rzi "brown" study. To think that the prize for which he had sought should after all have fallen to the lot of the widow with her ten poor acres. It was certainly strange. Now how should he'find his own profit in it? If he could buy the farm at even five thousand dollars,he could readily make it pay him duty thousand. The indications were that the oil spring was a rich one. At any rate the water he drank smacked strongly enough of th e nil. would the widow more was an imp , ' taut que , tion. The more time the had for thought the higher pmliablv would her price advance. lishe consulted Norcros:loi might as well give it , up as a lost chance, fur the lawyer would be as . anxious M secure it as himself. That was not to be thought of for a moment. But what if Mrs. Brown de clined his offer! Was there no other way ? It was just at this moment that the other way suggested itself. 'He was a widower, Mrs. Brown was a widow. By marrying her he would secure the farm, and not be com pelled to pay down a dollar, beyond the minister's fee for uniting them. Mrs, Brown was not exactly the woman he had - intended to marry for Ins second wife ; she certainly was not . hantlsume, but Squire Pogram was a practical man, and he knew that she was a ,rt, practie•:l woman, and n•ould keep his househ , hi i.t uni order. Perhaps it would not ',e A bad plau. At any rate he could hol I it in reserve. Punctually at three the Squire rode up to the door of the cottage. "How about the well, widder ?" he asked. "Does it taste as strong as ever ?" "Wuss and wuss, Squire. Here's sonic wa ter I just drawed up." The Squire did - not need to taste it. He could see for himself that the proportion of oil'was greater than in the morning. widder," he said, 'have you decided to take the four thousand dollars I oflbred you ? You see that will ,ave you all trouble, and you can live emathrtahle the ieAt ofyour days." "Thank you, Squire," said the widow, ':but I've about made up my mind to. send for some man who knows about these things, and get him to attend to it for me. I'll see Mr. Norcross tint, This was enough. The Squire had made • up his mind. "Whitler," sa:rd he, "I've got another plan to propose. It may seem kind of sudden to you, but I've been thinking o 1 it for some time, (how. long Squire?) and that is, that I need? wife. Things is gittiug slack at home, and U. needs a woman to straighten 'em out. I ain't a man of words. Widder will you be come Mrs. Pogram?" "0, Squire,' said the widow, "it's so unex pected that it quite flustrates me. But I'm free to say that I've, always respected your character, and thought you a man that any woman might be proud to marry." "You consent, then ?" "I do," said the widow - promptly,"and glad to have this new burden off my shoul ders." - . "Yes, widder, it ought to be attended to at once. I think we'd better marry to-morrow so as to lose no time." "Just as you say, Squire. I'll be ready." . The next day the clergyman's services were called into requisition,' and to the aston ishment and anger of all the aspirants to Squire Pomm's hand the prize was carried off by the widow Brown, "who's as ugly as sin ; goodness knows what good he saw in her." The day alter there was another surprise. A company of workmen were seen busily en gaged in sinking deeper the new Mrs. Pog ram's old well, and the rumor spread that petroleum had been discovered there. But for some incomprehensible reason the first strong indications were not borne out by subsequent discoveries. The water regained all its old purity, and after sinkin,T, several hundred dollars the Squire was obliged to abandon the attempt in disgust. Mrs:. Pe rain, now installed in the g:reat thrin-lquise as mistress, bore the disappointment with equanimity. She at least had got what she had bargained fur. and was satisfied. Wheth er her husband ever suspected her tauopliri :ty Li not clearly known. It tray onti tleutly. stated, however, that any gentleman desirous of starting a petroleum company, may obtain the Brown farm on reasonable terms, with no extra charge for one oil - well alr6dy sunk. , The l'ulfillinent of Propot•ey • I The followim; prophecy n•as made by the great commoner of his day, I lenry City, in a speech delivered by hint before the United Stat's So ate, on hebru:n•y 7th, 1530, in which lie cdicted civil war and the subver sion of the 'Mon as the let:itimate conse quences of e abolition agitation, then in its incipiency an I confined mainly to that hot bed of heres es and isms, New England.
