A GEN FROM JoHSsos.-The following passage
from DR.. Johnson's :" Journey to the Hebrides, > is a
beautiful rendering Of a truth which cannot be too
often rehearsed in the public ear =
Life consists not of A series of Illustrations, actions,
or elegant enjoyments; the greater part of our time
passes in compliance with necessities, in the perform
ance Of daily duties, in the removal Of small inconve-
niences, in the procurement of petty pleasures; and
We are well or i'll at ease, as the main stream of life
glides on smoothly, or is rufied by small obstacles
and frequent interruption The true state of every
nation il the state Of conmon life The manners of
the people are not to be found in the schools Of
learning, or the palaces of greatness, where the
national character is obscure or obliterated by
travel or instruction, by philosophy or vanity; nor is
public happiness to be estimated, by the assemblies
Of the gay or the banquets of the rich. The great
mass of nations is neither rich nor gay: they whose
aggregate constitutes the people are found in the
streets and in the villages, in the shops and the
farms; and from them, collectively considered, must
the measure Of general prosperity be taken. Asthey
approach to delcacy, a nation Is refined; as their
conveniences are multiplied, a nation, at lesst a
commercial nation, must be denominated wealthy.

IN 4 CT to protect the O,cners Of Growing Crops,
Buildings, and other Improvements IN the NJ
ring Districts of this State.-Approved April
25th, 1865.

destroy or injure any growing crops of grain or
garden vegetables growing upon the mineral
lands of this State nor undermine or injure any
house, building, improvement, or fruit trees,
standing upon mineral lands and the property
of another, except as hereinafter provided.
SEC. 2. Whenever any person. for mining

sureties, in sum to be fixed by three disinter-
csted citizens, householders of the township,

READ AND REFLECT.

II there's an hereafter,
And that there is, conscience, uninfluenced,
And suffered to speak out tells every man.
Then it is an awful thing to die,
More horrid yet to die at ones own hand.
Shall Nature, swerving from her earliest dictate,
Self-preservation, fall by its own act?
Forbid it Heayeni
The indulgence in secret pratice is the most
certain, though not always the most immedi-
ate and direct, avenue to destruction. Physi-
clans of all ages have been most unanimously
of opinion that the loss of one ounce of semi
nal secretions, by unnatural aid or emissions,
weakens the system more than the abstractiou
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 important 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 and much more so if the perscn
had induiged in the soul-killing habit

DR.. j. G. Young, in cases of seminal weakness,

raysis, the last is the most dangerous, and
when it once occurs, incurable,) is not surpass-
ed by any Physician in the country. 1t is the
same as that followed by him for years, under
the guidance of the world-renouned Ricord of
Paris, and Acton of London. DR.. Young's office
is at the corner of Montgomery and California
Streets, where he can be consulted on that and
all other private diseases, with the utmost con-
fidence and secrecy. DR.. Young will warrant
a perfect cure, or make no charge.

much taken up that he cannot attend to letters
unless paid for it.

Supreme Court and the Gambling Law

The following is the decision recently render
Law
The People VS.. Markham.-The petitioner was
indicted and convicted of the offense of q deal
ing banking game of cards.
The Court below imposed fine of one hun
dred dollars, and directed him to be imprisoned
until the fine was paid.
1t is now alleged that the Imprisonment was
unlawful: First, Because the statute under
which the petitioner was convicted, does not
direct that the parry shall be imprisoned upon
the non-payment of the fine; and second, be-
cause the judgment of the Court does not spe-
city the length of the time of the imprisonment.

SeffIerS' Meeting.

At large meeting of the citizens Of Elkhorn
Township, held at Henderson's School House,
Wednesday, January 18th, 1857, Mr. Eddy was
called to the chair, and Marion Beckwith, ap-
pointed Secretary
After the transaction of other business, the
following series of resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted:
Resolued, That the purchase of Andreas Pi-
cos title to lands over the head of an actual
settler, is wrong, and should be discountenanc-
ed by all good citizens and the settlers right
should be considered IT'S extending to the limits
and bounds as recognized and admitted by his
neighbors.
Resoived, That the passage of a law, '.declar-
ing all contracts for the sale of land in the act
ual possession of third party, absolutely null
and void" is imperatively called for by the
condition of land titles in this State and we
hereby instruct our Senator and Representa-
tives in the Legislature to give their earnest at
tention to secure the passage of such a law by
the present Legislature-SJ j. Republican.
In answer to the above resolutions, a Mr..
John p Brodie makes the following allegations
in card published on the goth inst:
1t is fact, known to many, that in cases in
which have been cognizant of disputes, regard
ing boundaries between neghbors, | have re-
fused to sell to either party until they had ar
ranged between themselves as to who held the
better right Should have already agreed to
sell to any one, lands which have been i'm
proved by another, it has been unknowingly F;
and invite such purchasers and claimants to
yet agree among themselves as to their proper
limits before the time arrives for issuing to
them their final papers.

There Is no malady of deeper Importance,
either in a medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
As medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily suf-

OF all the ills that affect man, none are more
terrible than those of a private nature. Dread

frightful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent off
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once, by consulting some
physician, whose responsibility and education
enables him to warrant safe, speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this necess-
ty. DR.. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice, he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal,
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.

The Blind Boy at Play.
By ELIZA COOK.

The blind boys been at play, mother,
And merry games we had
We led him on his way, mother,
And every step was glad;
But when we found a starry flower,
And praised its varied hue,
A tear came trembling down his cheek,
Just like drop of dew.
We took him to the mill, mother,
Where falling waters made
A rainbow DER the rill, mother,
As golden sun-rays played;
But when we shouted at the scene,
And hailed the clear blue sky,
He stood quite still upon the bank,
And breathed long, long sigh.
We asked him why he wept, mother,
Whene'er we found the spots
Where periwinkles crept, mother,
Ger wild for-get-me-nots
"Ah, me !" he said, while tears ran down
As fast as summers showers
" 1t is because | cannot see
The sunshine and the flowers
oh that poor, sightless boy, mother,
Has taught me that I'm blest;
For can look with joy, mother,
On all | love the best;
And when l see the dancing stream,
And daisies red and white,
| kneel upon the meadow-sod,
And thank my God for sight

Harper's Magazine has been laid on our
table. This Magazine is now in the XIV
volume, and published at the extremely
low price of three dollars per year, or
Ezeren copies at twenty dollars clergy
men and teachers supplied at two dollars

the q Editors Drawer:''
" A country cousin came to town, and
for the first time in his life was to make
his appearance in world the ways of
which were quite unknown to him. He
asked his city cousin to post him on mat
ters IN general, and things in particular,
especially to tell him how to behave in
company. This city cousin was wicked
wag. For the sake of fun he would tram
pleunder foot the sacred laws of hospitality,
and sport with the feelings of a friend
He from the country saw, on the table of a
lady where they were to take social cup
of tea, a pair of silver sugar tongs-an ar
ticle he had never seen before, and the
use of which he could not at glance COM
prehend. So he asked his city kinsman,
who, with malice aforethought, and insti-
gated by the Evil One, told him they were
to blow his nose with, and advised him,
when they should be handed round, to use
them for that purpose. The simple boor
complied and, to the horror of the COM
pany and the infinite amusement of his
cousin, clapped the tongs upon his nasal
organ and blew blast at once so long and
loud that he alarmed his friends and him.
self by the explosion. An explanation
was demanded, and it was honestly given,
to the shame of the young reprobate who
had trifed with the feelings Of an honest
youth for the sake of a joke, and disgraced
himself, and not his cousin, by his i'll
timed and ungenerous imposition.
