awful work of that terrible, disease so common
among young men, known as masturbation. The
knowledge TO be derived by every one in having

conception; as any person who has the slightest
reason to believe that they are afflicted with a
disease, OF which they have been ignorant can
9y reierflng 10 It's pages, in few moments un-
derstand the nature OF that disease and be made
aware OF the effects attending it: and thue they
may IN season apply the proper remedies and a.
vert It's heretofore unseen progress which was
last Undermining their constitution, would have
resulted either in death or, what is awful to con-
template, destroying forever the health and han
piness of the unfortunate victim.

labors, but has freely consulted and comnilpd
from the works of the best writers of the dav

A CURTosITY.-Th following curious
sentence is said to have been taken from a
volume of sermons published during the
reign of James |. CT England: "ThiS dial
shows that we must die all; yet notwith-
standing, all houses are turned into ale hou-
sss, our cares into Gates, our paradise into
par o dice, naatrimony into matter Of money
and marriage into merry age, our diuines
into dry zines; it was not so in the days OF
Noal-O, no!''

A COOP DOUBLE PUN-Mr. Forrest was
serenaded at the Winthrop House on Mon
day evening. The next morning, at the
breakfast table OF that excellent hotel, Mrs.
Wood, the fascinating comedicnne of the
Boston Theatre, was congratulated on the
serenade, by gentleman who supposed it
was intended for her. "Oh, no." she readily
replied, they passed by the little Wood for

The indulgence in secret practices is the most
certain, though not always the most immediate
and direct, avenue to destruction. Physicians of
all ages have been most unanimously Of the opin-
ion that the loss of one ounce of the seminal Sc.
cretlons, by unnatural aid or emissions, weakens
the system more than the abstraction of forty
ounces of blood. One of the FIRST writers on
medical Jurisprudence states that three-fourths of
the insane owe their malady to such abuse.
How impoTtadt then, it is-for every one hav-
ing the least cause to suspect any trouble in that
way, to attend to it Immediately; even one single
occurrence should be sufficient to cause doubt.

es those who have injured themselves by private
and improper indulgences in that secret and soli-
tary habit which ruins the body and mind. unfit
ting them for either business or society. The fol-
lowing are some of the sad and melancholy eff,
fects produced by early habits of youth. viz !:
eakness of the back and limbs, pain in the head

tation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness. irri

Mentally, the fearful effects on the mind are

NEIGHLY IMPORTANT to the afflicted
"A u Among the most dreadful maladies that can
befal man is that of Syphilis From its first ap-
pearance hundreds of years ago, to the present
day its raVages in whatever form they have as
sumed, have been loathesOme and revolving to
the eye. How highly necessary it is then that
those who are afflicted with this direful disease
should have it attended TO at once without a mo-
ment delay. 1t person discovers that he has
any premonitory symptoms of Syphilis and al
lows himself to be placed under the care of mex
perienced and incompetent hands or suffers him
self to undergo no treatment at ALL these affec-
tlons will disappear to be followed at no distant
day by series of symptoms resulting in a form
of Syphalis more malignant and dreadful than
before. This is the fatal consequence of pro-
crastination, result of the fell hands of the
mountebank. Imagine then the horror the de-
spair OF the poor unfortunate victim as he beholds
the most virulent form of ulcers in his throat on
his lips and in his nasal fossR In short he sees
himself covered from head to foot with excres-
cences and supperatng tumors. His situation is
deplorabe IN the extreme. Constant an unceasing
pains rack every bone; his head aches continallv:
the nails on his fingers peal off, and in short there
Is general debility which brings on marasmus and
death. To those who would avoid all this and
desire to be saved DR.. j. C. Young assumes the
responsibility, and herewith states that whenever
any of the primary symptoms of this disease make
their appearance (either in chancres, flow of
matter or mucous pustules) to call Immediately
ON hlm and place themselves under his treatment
1t Is now conceded that no memberof the faculty
better understands the treatment of this disease
than he. This one disease has been his study for
years, and he now takes pride in openly declar
ing that he is able and also pledges himself to
cure Syphilis in any and every FORM whether it
be primary, secondary or tertiary. His treatment
Is rational and efiicaciOus. The rules of hygiene
no physician better understands who attempts to
act upon them.

Epidem;Cs at Might.

Epidemics have long been observed to
rage with particular fury during the night,
The Westminster Review gives the fol-
lowing single explanation
at is a. night that the stream Of air
nearest the ground must always be the
most charged with the PARTICLES of anima :
ted matter given out from the skin, and
deleterious gases, such as carbonic acid
the product of respiration and the sulphur
cited hydrogen the product Of the sewers.
In the day, gases and vaporous substances
of all kinds rise into the air, by the re
fraction of heat; at night, when the refrac-
tiou leaves them, they fall by an increase
of gravity, if impcrfectly mixed with the
atmosphere, while the gases evolved DUR
irg the night; instead Of ascending remain
at nearly the same level. 1t is known that
carbonic acid gas at low temperature,
partakes so nearly Of the same nature of a
fluid, that it may be poured out of one
vessel into another: it rises at the tempe
rature at which it is exhaled from the
lungs, but its tendency is towards the floor
or the bed of the sleeper, in cold and un-
ventilated rooms

THE FARM:
The Garden...The Orchard.
Destroy the Catsrpillars.

We notice that these pests of vegetation
are more abundant, in this region, than
for years before. Some trees, especially
plums, are so badly infected as to endan-
ger the life of the trees. Had they been
stripped thus in the earlier part Of the
season they wonld certainly have been
ruined, and can not fail even now to be
greatly injured while at the same time
provision is made for spring crop Of the
insects to continue their ravages. They
should by all means be destroyed. This
may done in various ways, such as cut
ting of the twigs containg the nests, when
the damage is slight, bu rning with gun
powder, &c. We have found it good
method to make swab Of cotton stuff on
the end of pole of suitable length, and
after wetting this with campheue to thrust
the blaze of it into their nest. This is
quite sufficient to kill the caterpillars with
out much injuring the trees if at all. The
ends of the branches should then before
spring be carefully searched for the eggs,
in order to forestal the new brood Strong
soap suds, or some other equally cffectual
alkaline wash will he be found excellent
for this as well as other purposes connec-
ted with the cultivation of trees.
