CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY AND SEMI
NAL WEAKNESS

NAL WEAKNESS.
nR. YOUNG addresses those who have injured
IL themselves by improper indulgences in that
secret and solitary habit which ruins the body
and the mind, uniting them for either business
or society. The following are some of the sad
and melancholy effects produ~ ed by early habits
of youth, viz: Weakness of the back and Limits,
pain in the head, dimness of sight, loss of muscu-
lar power, palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia,
nervousness, irritability,, arrangement of the d,
gestive functions, general debility, symptoms of
consumption, &c.
MENTALITY The fearful effects upon the mind
are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, con-
fusion of ideas, depression Of spirits, evil fore
bodings aversion of society, self-distrust, love
of solitude ETC., are most of the evils produced.
All persons who ure afflicted with any 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 i'm
mediately, and save yourself from the dreadful
and awful consequence of this terrible malady.
Weakness of the Organs Immediately cured,
and full vigor returned. by DR.. j. G. Young

PLEASANT VlLLAGEs.-The villages of
New England are among the peasantest in
the world, and the chief secret in their charm
it is summed 'up in one word: TREES: The
people who laid them GU. century or two
ago, had the good sense to plant few score
of young trees about the green and along
the streets. Now look at them! Glorious
ens arch the streets, and envelop the place
in shade The meanest cottage is pleasant
and picturesque if it stands beneath fine
old tree. The poorest village is good to live
in if it nestes under giant trees. Plant
them round the school house. Plant them
round the church. Plant them on the con-
mon. Plant them along the streets. Make
all the villages and towns pleasant With trees.

SOME daysago we published in the Intezligen-
cer, an anecdotc Of Mr.. Webster, which. was
current in our exchanges 1t had started out
from the lips of Rev. Mr.. AItlburn, ex.chlplain
to the House of Representatives, und was to
this effect: .z:5Is.
One night, before railroads were built, Mr.
Webster was forced to make a journey by pri-
.yate conveyance from Baltimore to Washington
The nran who drove the wagon was such ani>
looking fellow, and told SO many stories of rob.
berries and murders, that before they had gone
far, Mr.. Webster was somewhat alarmed. AT
last the wagon stopped in the midst of dense
wood, when7thc man, turning suddenly round
to his passengers, exclaimed fierccly-ssNow,.
sir, tell me who you are Mr. Webster re-

rCjoincd the driver, srasping him warmly blythe
hand, ''arc you Webster? Thank God! Thank
God! You were such an uglyzchap that took
you for highwaymon."s
A friend Of Mr.. Webster living in Boston,
one who enjoyed his acquaintance while living,
was quite put out by this anecdote OF Rev. Mr..
Milburn, and so sits down and writes out for
the Post Of that city, the straight Of the case
which he says was this ::

This fact speaks volumes. and proves that,
with all the progress that has been made du-
ring the last eight years, and the expendi-
ture during the Russian war to provide spec
linens of the new arm, the reorganization OF
the French artillery is not sufficiently ad-
yanced for great European war. Still i is
believed that in riaed guns she possesses a
great superiority over Austria. who is said
to have none with her armies, and only a
few, after the Swedish system, in her forth
fed towns. Indeed, it is stated here, in
military circles, that il it had net been fol
the superior range and accuracy Of the iou'
guns which General Forney opened upon
the Austrians at Mantebelo, the result would
have been very different, and that the Allies
would have been compelled to give way be.
fore the deadly effects of the Tyrolese rifles
which wounded the colonies of the four regl'
ments engaged, and thinned the ranks Of tht
officers to an extent to undeceiye many as L
the nature Of the contest.
