The successful Barrister.
According to the Paris correspondent of the At

According to the Paris correspondent of the At
las. young English barrlster had succeeded In
marrying Mdlle. R, the weaIthlest helress
in Paris, and connected with one of the highest
families. The young lady was known TO possess
an undistinguished weakness for well-dressed
man, and by loudly expressing this opinion. had
been of more service to the taiors of Paris within
the last year than Count d'Orsay in double the
space of time. The barrister had many rivals,
but the most formidable was a gentleman acknowl-
edged to be the most approved dandy In Paris
The lady selected these two 10 decide from, and
invited them both TO her chateau. The French
man declared to his friends that he meant to cut
the matter short at once by so outshinlng the Eng
lshman by his dress that the latter would retire
from the field crushed to atoms by the superior
skill he was determined TO manifest on the Occa-
sion. The Englshman said nothing, made no
boast, but accepted the invitation, and, together,
by the same train, the two rivals proceeded to the
seat ofwar. 1t SO happened that the French dan
dy had furnished himself with regular troussean
for the occasion at the great English aiors in the
Rue du ileder, and the English tailor out OF sheer
compalriutism had told Mr.. H. of what 1t
was composed. A sudden idea flashed across the
brain of the barrister. His servant, one of the
sanctfed, hypocritical rome Wallets for whom Lon
don was always famous, is something about the
height and size of the French pretendu. Mr.. IL
- Immediately ordered for this ally the ex-
act counterpart of every suit already ordered by
the Marquis de la B. The first day at din
ner the poor young marquis was rather dlsconcert-
ed, when, upon entering the dining-room his
glance alghted upon the very counterpart of him
self, standing stiff and selt-centered behind the
Englishrnan's chair and he looked angrily athis
rival to see if any insult was intended, but the
Englishman was too intent upon making himself
agreeable to the lady to notice his rufiled temper
The second day the same scene was enacted, al
though our hero had completely changed even the
style of his whole to,rniur, and again was the
same ill-humor displayed during the whole dinner,
while Mr. Il was profting by the silence
of his witty rival. The young marquis, too cev,
er. and too much the man of the world not to feel
the absurdity of his positon, prudently withdrew.

A CAUTION PRIVATE MEDICAL OFFICE
n Hundreds of those who have contracted ve-
nereal diseases are disappointed of cure by not
calling on DIR. YOUNG at first. He will forfeit
any sum if he fails to cure any case that may
come under his care, no matter how long stand
ing or affiicting-such as ulcers, tumors, nodes,
punches, pimples on the face aud body, pains
in the bones and joints, wakefulness, trembling,
copper colored sores, wasting of the bone ema-
citation, loss of appetite, strength and flesh,
in the nose and ears loss of hair, weak eyes, itch
ing, humors, &c. &c
Many persons, after being relieved OF external
appearances of private disease, suppose themselves
cured bat, after few months, find they are
troubled with various symptoms which they never
had before, and which they find it impossible to
relieve.
TO all who ar .fllicted in this way, DIR. Young,
would particularly recommend the trial of his
skill. The symptoms with which you are troub.
led are caused by vcnereal taints in your blood
which. sooner or later, will destroy your health
and happiness. No person who has ever had an
attack of any private complaint, should fail to
consult Dr. Young, and take few bottles ofhis
invaluable purifying medicines, as then they can
rest assured that their blood is in perfectly pure
and healthy condition, and that every trace of
disease is removed from the system Recent ca.
ses cured in from two to five days, without change
of diet or hindrance from business or no charge
made. DIR. YOUNG,
