REFLECTIONS on METHUSELAH.-HoW many
men are there who have ever taken into their
minds the full meaning of those nine hundred
sixty and nine years which measure the life OF
the "oldest inhabitant? F" Figures Of arith-
metic are empty symbols-we measure them
by deeds One Summers life in busy, fruit
full lands seems longer to mans heart than
centuries at the frozen pole. Yet, though
history records nothing of the labors of Meth
uselah, we know that his hours did not 'slum-
Der nor sleep"
They were the same winged messengers
that outrun cashless debtors and cut short
lovers dreams. They were the same swift
stepping elves, of faded beauty whose fork
ed teeth trod the dimples into wrinkles. The
time that waited so long on Methuselah was
the same striding skeleton that swings a pitt
less scythe in the pages of the New England
Primer. His fields were moved less frequent
ly than now, but they yielded heavier crops.
For there were giants in those days"
We have measured the age of Methuselah
only by the sun-dial. Let us take the coil OF
the life, the nine hundred sixty and nine years
of his pilgrimage, and roll it out from this
present over a past which history has lighted.
ii stretches back beyond the landing of the
Pilcrims-beyond the brightness of the re-
formation. into the dim twilight of the middle
ages: back bevond the new birth of a Conti-
nent; beyond Agincourt, and Cressy, and Hast
incs, and over thegrave Of twenty-five genera
tions. to the very childhood of the English
people William the Conqueror, if he should
rise at this day to confound the ambitious
names which claim to have 'come over with
him, would be Younger, by one hundred years,
than Methuselah was when he died

The undersigned, desirous of acquainting
those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted, where permanent relief of
their sufferings may be obtained, feels it his
duty to thus publicly express his most sincere
gratitude to DR.. l.. j. Czapkay for the perma-
nent recovery of his health Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the vis-
cious practice of uncomfortable passion in
youth; depressed in body and mind, unable to
perform even the most trifiing duty imposed
upon the daily avocationS of life. sought the
advice of many physicians, who at first re-
garded my disease as of trifiing importance
but alas after few weeks, and in several
instances months, of their treatment, | found
to my unutterable horror, that instead of re-
lief, my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture; and being told by one, that my
disease being principally confined to the brain
medicines would be of little consequence, l
despaired of ever regaining my health, strength
and energy; and, as a last resort, and with
but Il faint hope, called upon DR.. Czapkay
who after examining my case, prescribed some
medicine which almost instantly relieved me
of the dull pain and dizziness in my head
Encouraged by this result, resolved to place
myself Immediately under his care and by a
strict obedience to all his directions and ad-
vice, my head became clear, my ideas collected
the constant pain in my back and groins, the
weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction of
my whole body on the slightest alarm or ex-
citement; the misanthropy and evil forebo-
NingS the self-distrust and want of confidence
in others; the incapability to study, and want
of resolution; the frightful, exciting, and at all
times pleaSurable dreams at night, followed
by involuntary discharges, have all disap-
peared; and, in fact, in two months after hav-
ing consulted the Doctor, | felt as if inspired
by new life-that life which, but short
time ago, contemplated 10 end by my own
hand
With a view to guard the unfortunate from
falling into the snares of incompetent quacks,
l deem it my duty to offer this testimony to
the merit and skill of Dr. Czapkay, and rec
ommend him to all who may stand in need of
medical advice, being assured by my own ex-
perience, that once under his care radical
and permanent cure will be effected.

LOST IN THE TULEs.-Mr. j. DOwney, Civil
Engineer, came very near losing his life in the
Tules in Tulare Valley. One week ago last
Wednesday, Nov. ID, he entered the tules
on horseback in that Valley, for the purpose
of making examination in regard to the Tulare
Canal, the Company of which enterprise had
engaged his services as Engineer. Towards
evening, in his efforts to get out, he discovered
that he was lost. He was compelled to sleep
that night, as well as several others, in the
tules. He remained thus lost, wandering for
one week. In the meantime he lost his horse,
or rather was compelled to leave him. While
attempting to cross q place where the tules
had been burnt, his horse begged so deeply
that he could not be extricated After many
efforts to get his horse on firm ground he was
compelled to leave him in order to save his
own life. He kept himself from starving by
eating tule roots, and assuaged his thirst by
squeezing from those roots the few drops of
water each contained, into tin cup, and by
drawing the tules through his mouth in the
morning while the dew was upon them. One
evening he saw two grizzlies, and to keep them
off kept fire burning all night, remaining
awake and feeding it until morning, lest it
should burn out On the morning of the
seventh day, he came to a small tree, and
climbing it to look around to discover some
landmark he was enabled to see a mountain,
and noticing its direction took his course ac-
cordingly and after travel of eight miles came
upon clear ground. He then found that he
forty-five miles from the place where he
had entered the tules He suffered much in
mind, as man naturally would, lost in such
a place, and was well nigh worn out with
constant fatigue and want of food and water.
On the last day he felt that his mind was
wandering, he sat down, and supposed he had
rested three or four hours, but upon looking
again at his watch, he had remained still only
five minutes. A few minutes time became to
appear as so many hours Mr.. Downey is
now on the San Joaquin, recruiting, and re-
GREETING that his horse was thus left in those
tules, begged down, to die of starvation. Mr..

FDRIVATE Medical and Surgical Institute
IL DR.. j. J. Czapkay has opened his lnsti-
tute for the cure of all forms of disease such
as Syphilis, Gonorrh9a, Nocturnal Emissions,
and all the consequences of self abuse. In the
first stages of Syphilitic or Gonorrheal diseas-
es, he guarantees cure in few days, with
out inconvenience to the patient or hindrance
to his business. When patient, by neglect
or improper treatment, has developed the sec
ondary symptoms of Syphilis, such as buboes
or painful swellings on the groins, or ulcers
in the throat and nose, which, if not checked,
destroy the soft parts and cause the bones to
mortify, separate, and come away, leaving the
sufferer an object hideous to behold or when
he has painful swellings upon the bones, or
when his constitution is injured so as to pre-
dispose to consumption, or other constitu-
tional disease, the Doctor guarantees a cure or
asks no compensation.
In RHEUMATISM, chronic or acute in
DYSENTERY or DIARRIIOIA, he has safe
and effectual remedies. For the treatment of
the consequences of self-abuse, such as noe
turnal emissions, nervousness, timidity, head
ache, pains in the back and limbs, with gen.
eral weakness, loss of appetite, loss of memo
ry, in Jury to the sight, restlessness, confusion
of ideas, dislike for society," and feeling of
weariness Of life; with the nervous system so
excitable that slight noises shock or startle
the patient, making his existence miserable.
For the above maladies the Doctor will guar
antee cure or ask no compensation. He can
be consulted free of charge, and invites all to
call, as it will cost them nothing, and may be
much to their advantage His offices are at

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 a private nature. Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it,
frightful as are its rayages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater inn
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 respectabilty and
education enables him to warrant a safe, speedy
and permanent cure. In accordance with this
necessity, DR.. 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
Syphilitic Affections, Gonorrhea, elect. Stric-
lures, False Passages, Inflammation of the
Bladder and Prostrate Glands, Excavations,
Iumors, Pustules, etc. 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-
cept 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.

STUDYING HUMAN NATURE. The
Buffalo Republic tells a story which we
don't believe, but it is so good that it is
worth repeating simply as joke:
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, dressed in
very common clothes, was studying human
nature as exhibited in the highways and
bye-ways of New York. In the course OF
his philosophic peregrinations he went
into mock auction shop. He stood
awhile on entering, and reflected, doubt
less, how any one could be so lost to all
sense of truth and honesty as the auc-
tioneer in question, endeavoring to palm
off his worthless trash to theinexperienced
in city ways, as good and valuable, and
finally the auctioneer called out: " Mr..
Beecher, why don't you bid?" He was
greatly astonished, as we can we'll lmag-
Inc, at finding himself known in this place,
and, as he had supposed, in his purposely
careless dress. He Immediately left, and
started for the residence of one of the
church in the neighborhood, and requested
him, as an act of kindness, to 90 down and
inquire of that person who had sold HIM
self to Satan for the love of gain, how it
was that he knew him in his Disguise
The neighbor kindly consented, and on
entering the "Peter Funk shop, he adj
dressed the auctionecr:
"How is it that you know Henry Ward
Beecher so well as to be able to recognise
him in his disguise -
How do | know him? Why, Ihorc

gatiion for the last IRE gears, and o'ea

DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have in
Jured themselves by private and improper in
dnlgences in that secret and solitary habit
which ruins the body and mind, uniting them
for either business or society. The following
are some of the sad and melancholy effects
produced by early habits of youth, viz weak
ness of the back and limbs, pain in the head.
dimness of sight, loss of muscular power. pal
pitation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness,
irritability, arrangement of the digestive func,
tions, general debility, symptoms of consump
ton, &C.
MENTALLY-The fearful effects unon the
mind are more to be dreaded. Loss of mem
ory, confusion of ideas, depression of spirits.
evil forbodings, aversion to society, seif-dis-
trust, love of solitude, timidity, &C., are most
of the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with anv of the
above symptoms should not fail to call on DR..
Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let no false delicacy prevent you. but
apply Immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences of this terri
