BALTIMORE LOCK HOSPITAL.
WHERE may be obtained the most speedy re
medy for
SECRET DISEASES.—GIeets, Strictures,
Seminal Weakness, Pain in the Loins, Affections
of the Kidneys, and all those Peculiar Affections
arrising from a SECRET HABIT, particularly the
youth of both sexes, which it' not cured, produces
Constitutional Debility, rendering Marriage impos
sible, and in the end destroys both Mind and
Body.
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.
Married persons, or those contemplating mnrri
age, being aware of physical weakness, should
immediatedly consult Dr. J., and be restored to
perfect health.

serving the NAME and NUMBER. or you will

A CURE WARRANTED, on NO CHARGE
MADE, IN FROM ONE TWO DAYS.
Take Notice—Dr. Johnston's Office is in his
dwelling, UP TIIE STEPS. 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.
Ilientally—Tiro fearful effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded; Loss of Memory, Confusion
of ideas, Depression of Spirit, Evil Forbodings,
Aversion to Society, Self Distrust, Love of Soli -1
tude. &c. are some of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons oral! ages, can now judge
what is the cause of their declining her.lth. Los
ing their vigor, becimaing weak, pale add camels
ted, I lye a singular appearance about the eyes,
cough and symptoms of consumption.
Ilcrried persons, or those contemplating marri
age, being aware of physical wool:1ms, should
immediately consult Dr. J. and be restored to

will find a skillful and honorable physician.
As there are so ninny ignorant and worthless

The liberal patronage which this School has

OUR COUNTRY.
/ST W. PEA/301/Y.
Our country—'tis a glorious land !
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
