UNCONSTITUTIONAL DEBILLITY.

Young men beware of the petnicious indsl.
gence and lmost fatal injury you iniict upon
your constitutions, by evil examples and the
morbid influence of the passions.
How many young persons do we daily behold,
whose countenanees and debiitated constitutions
depict disease arising from that horrible and de-
vastating vice.
1t could be shown how attenuation of the
frame pal pitatOn of the heart, arrangement of
the nervous system, cough, indigestion ana
train of symptoms, indicative OF consumption,
arc often ascribcd to wrong causes, when in re.
ality, they are the consequences OF an alIuring
and pernicious practice alike destructive to the
mind and body.
You who have brought this affection upon
yourselves, why embrace the secret to your
hearts and vainy attempt to cure yourselves,
instead of making immediate application to
skillfull physician, who in short time, would
restore you to perfect health and save you from
exposure which the fatal consequences render it
envitable.

the treatment of this destructive maady. Pa
tients can be cured at home by addressing let

THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

Ifsubscribers order the discontinuance OF
their newspapers, the Publisher may continhe
to send them until all arrearages are PAID.
lfsubscribers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the Office to which they are
directed they are held responsible until they
nave settled the bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
If subscribers move to other places without
informing the publisher, and the ne"spa Persare

sponsible.
The courts have decided that refusing TO
take newspapers from the office, or removing

on the burning sands, called on his God.
Day after day passed, and still the Arab
never failed. till at last one evening the
philosopher, when he arose from his
knees, asked him, with a contemptuous
smile, How do you know there is a God.

said solemnly, How do | hnow there is
