delphia Pennsylvanion has the following
among Its police reports:
AS Mrs. Esther Stansbury, residing in
a court running from Race, below Sixth
street, was about to bring bucket of
water from hydrant, last night, she
found basket suspended from the knob
of the front door, Putting her hand into
the basket, she felt something alive and
kicking, so wrapped up in rags that no
further discovery could be made without
unwrapping the object. A piece of pa
per, folded like letter, lay by the side
of the animated bundle Mrs Stansbury
Immediately returned into the house, and
by the light of lamp examined the bill
let. 1t was directed to her husband
She tremulously broke the seal and read
as follows:
TO Joe Stansbury-Sr:-I send
you the baby, which you will please take
good care of, and bring up right, so that
it may turn out to be a better man than
its daddy. O., Joseph what SLY old
rake you are Who would think that
such sober old spindle-shanks could be
such tearing old sinner? The child is
yours-you may swear to that. Look at
tits Joe Stansbury all over. You de-
ceived me shamefully, Joe-letting on to
be widowerl But do fathers duty
by the young one, and [ will forgive you
Your heart-broken NANCY.
?. S.-Don't let that sharp-nosed wife
Of yours see this letter. Cannon her
with some kind of story about the baby
~"
Mr.. Stansbury was in the basement
kitchen quietly eating his supper, and
little imagining what storm was brew
ing over his head. The door of the
kitchen was violently thrown open, and
his wife's voice yelled out
stansbury, come up here, you villain !
Here's mess for you." The astonished
Stansbury hastily obeyed the summons.
"Don't you want to see Nancy, the heart
broken Nancy?' cried Mrs Stansbury
when her guilty husband hobbled into
the room.
Nancy what Nancy's that!' said the
sly old rogue, in well feigncd astonish-
ment.
Why, Nancy, the mother of this ba-
by that's hung up at the door, Mr.. Stans-
bury! Oh, you look mighty innocent !.
Just read that letter, and look into the
basket Don't be afraid it wont bite
it's got no teeth, poor thing. You'll
know it; for, as the hussy says, it's just
like you all over Please goodness, I'll
expose you before everybody" In less
than five minutes Mrs Stansbury had
collected room full of spectators half
of the inhabitants of the court, to witness
the process of unwrapping the baby
Anxious expectation sat on every coun-
tenance, as the jealous lady tore away rag
after rag from the body of the founding,
the vigorous movements of which aston
ished everybody. It's full of the devil
already" said Mrs. S.; " that shows it's
his. You'll soon see that it's like him
in everything"
At last all the swaddling clothes being
removed; out jumped the baby and made
its escape through the open window. 1t
was big tom-cat.

Constitutional Debi1Hy or SemiM Ueakness.
DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have in

Important to Miners, Travellers, &C..

There is no malady of deeper Importance
either in 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 effects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily
suffering. Human nature at best is bnt frail
all are liable to misfortune.
OF all the ills that affect man. none are more
terrible than those of private nature Dread
ful as IT is in the person who contracts it,
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
offspring. 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 consult
ing some physician, whose respectability and
education enables him to warrant safe, speedy
and permanent cure. In accordance with this
necessity, DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to
state that by long study and extensive prac-
tice, 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.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Swelling of
the Groins, Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat, Sec
ondary Syphilis, Cutaneous, Eruptions, Ulcera-
tions, Tertiary Syphilis in Children, Mercurial
Syphilitc Affections, Gonorrhna, Gleet Stric-
lures, False Passages, inflammation of the
Bladder and PROSTATE Glands, Excavations,
Tumors, Pustules, etc. arc as familiar to him
as the most common things of daily observa-
ton.
The Doctor effects a cure in receiving cases
in few days, and finds no difficulty in curing
those of long duration, without submitting the
patient to such treatment as will draw upon
him the slightest suspicion, or oblige him to
neglect his business, whether within doors or
without. The diet need not be changed, ex-
ccpt in cases of severe inflammation. There
are IN California, patients, (amounting to over
two thousand in the past year, that could fur
Eish proof of this but these are matters that
require the incest secrecy, which he always
preserves.
