YOUNG MEN Especially, who have become the victims of Solitary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit which annually sweeps to an un timely grave thousands of young men of the most exalted talents and brilliant intelect, who might otherwise have entranced listning Senates with the thunders of eloquence, or waked to eestacy the living lyre, may call with full confidence.

His very extensive practice is a sufficient gaanintee that he is the on ly proper Physician to apply to. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal Col lege of Surgeons. London, graduate from one of the most eminent Colleges of the United States, and the greater part of whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of London, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has effected some of the most as tonishing cures that were ever known, many troubled with ringing in the ears and head ivlien asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at sud den sounds, and bashfulness, with frequent blush ing, attended sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured immediately. A CERTAIN DISEASE.—It is a melancholy fach that thousands fall Viptims to this horrid dis ease owing to the Unskillfulness of ignorant pre tenders, who by the use of that deadly poison Mercury, ruin the Constitution, causing the most serious symptoms of this dreadful disease to make their appearance, such as affections of the head, throat, nose, skin, etc., progressing with fright- lid rapidity till death puts a period to their dread lul suffering, by sending them to that Bourne wienee no traveler returns . TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.—Young men who have injured themselves by a certain practice indulged in when alone—a habit frequent ly learned from evil companions, or at school—the c fleets of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and if not cured renders marriage impossible, and destroys both mind and body. What a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, and the darling of his parents should be snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life by the consequences of deviating from the path of nature and indulging in a certain secret habit.— Such persons before contemplating. MARRIAGE, should reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisitsts to promote connubial happiness. Indeed, without these, the journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage. the prbspect hourly darkens to the view; the mind heroines shadowed with dispair, and filled with the melancholy reflection, that the happi-ness of another becomes blighted with our own. CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.—Dr. J. atk resses young nice, and all who have injured themselves by private and improper indulgence. IMPUISSANE.—These are some of the sad and melancholy effects produced by early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of the Buck and Limbs, Pains in the head. Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Palpitation of the Heart Dys peps 4, Nervous Irritability, Detangements of the Digestive Functions, General liability Symptoms of Consumption, ‘Sce.

With broad arms stretched from shore to shore, The proud Pacific chafes her strand, She hears the dark Atlantic roar; And nurtured on her ample breast, How many a goodly prospect lies In Nature's wildest grandeur drest, Enamell'd with her loveliest dyes. Rich prairies deck'd with flowers of gold, Like sunlit oceans roll afar; Broad lakes her azure heavens behold, Reflecting clear each trembling star, And mighty rivers, mountain born, Go sweeping onward, dark and deep,, Through forests where the bounding fawn Beneath their sheltering branches leap. And cradled 'mid her clustering hills, Sweet vales in dream-like beauty hide; Where love the air with music fills, And calm content and peace abide For plenty here her fulness pours In rich profusion o'er the land, And sent to seize her generous store, Thero prowls no tyrant's hireling band. 11 79 Great God! we thank thee for this home— This bounteous birthland of the free; Where wanderers from afar may come, And breathe the air of Liberty ! Still may her flowers untrampled spring, Her harvests wave, her cities rise ; And yet, till Time shall fold his wing, . Remain Earth's loveliest paradise ! A PERILOUS SITUATION. The following was related to me by the Captain who commanded the vessel refer red to, and I know may be fully credited. The bark —, was pursuing her voyage “up the Straits," bound for Sicily. The ' , prevailing winds had been light, and the current was setting the vessel in towards the shore, which, however, appeared quite distant. The coast which we were nearing was that of Morocco, formerly considered dangerous to approach, from the bands of piratical Moors which infest that country, but, in our unromantic days, all anxiety from fear of such characters is considered quite fanciful. We were slowly nearing towards this coast without apprehension, until a dense fog gradually arose, and en veloped us, so that the Captain gave words of caution to the mate. It was early in the morning, and the Captain was with his wife in the cabin; the mate, named John, was eating his breakfast. The mate, who was an easy old character, repliOd to the Captain's caution, that he would keep a good look out, and call him if there should be any appearance of laud. The ship moved on, when suddenly down into the cabin came John, and with delib erate and slow articulation said he rather thought the ship had better come about.— The Captain stepped on deck, when sure enough, close by her bows loomed the flin ty rocks of that fearful place called 'Ape's "Hard up the helm !" shouted the Captain, but all too late; the ship slid up the rock, and her stern worked to and fro, showing that she was fast aground. With quick and anxious eye the Captain took his glass to survey more closely some objects he saw in the distance moving among the hills. Gleaming bayonets and flashing cut lasses, worn by half clad, tall and power ful men, he plainly saw, and like the men of Robin Hood, they sprang from rock to rook, until mustering 200 strong, they marched three abreast down the hills.— Each man was fully armed, their guns of wonderful length, each with its glittering bayonet fixed. They had sharp spears or boarding pikes, and cutlasses buckled at the waist. Headed by three or four gigan tic blacks, they came pell mell upon the ship. It so happened that a few yards of water out off the ship from the main shore and there they stopped, like hungry wolves. The Captain had no arms except two pair of pistols and an old musket—for who goes armed these peaceful days These ho soon saw were unavailing against the hellish gang. Besides, from the rocks they could pick off his crew, man by man, and no es cape. The Captain had ordered out his kedge anchor, and tho men had hove taut at the windlass, straining every nerve to heave the ship off. The Moors watched them a moment, then leaped up an over hanging rock, and raised their long guns— cocked them—for a moment death seemed inevitable; but one man among the crew could speak their language; he, paralyzed NUMBER 17, with fear, told the crew to lip flat under the bulwarks. They did so, and the Moors dropped the muzzles of their guns, and called out in their language for the Captain to desist and lay until the next day. The Captain then went aft and held counsel with his men. The man who spoke their language, said he had been among thorn near Algiers, but such fiends as these he never saw; and each saw that they would probably be sacrificed to a bloody death, while the captain's poor wife was weeping in anguish and despair. The captain sud denly thought of his flag, and quick as thought the stars and stripes were unfurr ed. This seemed to cause a great clamor and hesitation among the Moors, they seem ed to conclude, however, that they would be safe from any discovery of their bloody deed. They sent up on a bayonet point, their flag, which is simply of white, with some characters like death's head and cross bones. The captain was a brave man, and felt that he never could leave his vessel in such hands. Even if he lost his life he de-• termined to do his duty. So,. springing up, he called his men and said "My life is as good as your's. I will lead; now, let us heave on our windlass, and if they fire, let them if they dare."-- He had scarcely moved one step, when, suddenly, down from off the mountain gor ges, came a mighty wind; back went his sails, and his vessel swung off into the deep water. Before the savages noticed her movement, she was spinning off, with her sails flapping, being loosed, or they would have been blown to ribbons. An axe quick ly out the cable to the kedge, and thus, with the loss of but a few fathoms of rope and a small anchor, our ship once more sped on her way. 13 not this incident suf ficient to show how necessary it is that we should have a man-of-war always in the Mediterranean? There was none there two months ago.—Jour. of Commerce. GEMS OF THOUGHT. The virtue of prosperity is temperance; the virtue of adversity is fortune. There are lying looks as well as lying words, dissembling smiles, deceiving signs, and even a lying silence. Nature makes us poor only when we lack necessaries, but custom gives the name of poverty to the want of superfluities). As there is no prosperous state of life without its calamities, so there is no adver sity without its benefits. Wise men are instructed by reason; men of less understanding by experience, the most ignorant by necessity; and brutes by nature. It is a most mortifying reflection for any man to consider what he has done, compa red with what he might have done. Whatever situation in life you ever wish or propose for yourself, acquire a clear and lucid idea of the inconveniences attending Hasty words often rankle the wound which injury gives; but soft words assuage it forgiving cures it; and forgetting takes away the scar. A reading people will become a thinking people, and then they are capable of becom ing a rational and a great•people. STATE OF THE MARKETS.—DoIIars aro 'high,' and make excellent 'sails,' Snuff is 'going up.' Thread so so: , needles' to particularize. Ale is brisk. Grindstones are 'heavy,' but will proba bly take a 'turn.' Boots 'go on' as formerly. Fire crackers 'go off' as heretofore. Bides is scarce, and demands a cstifr ad vance' on former rates. BEAUTIFUL.—As the eagle dips his wings in the crystal spring, to beautify and strengthen them for his upward flight, re should the young go to the fountains of lit— erature and science to adorn and strengthen their minds, that they may be qualified to rise to a sphere of usefulness in the world. arWhen is alighted °audio like a tomb- stone ?
