IMPORTANT TO MINERS AND TRAVELLERS

THERE is no malady of deeper Importance
L either in medical or moral point of view
to which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
AS a medical man it is the duty Of every Ply
scian to look ut disease as it affects health and
life, and his sole object should be to mitigate, as
far as in his power, their bodily suffering. Hu
man nature is at best but frail but all are liable
to misfortune.
OF all ills that affect man, none are more terri
BILE than those Of a private nature. Dreadful as
it is in the person who contracts it, frightful as
are its ravages upon his constitution, ending fire.
quently in destruction and q loathsome grave it
becomes of still greater importance when it is
transmitted to an innocent offspring Such being
the case, how important it becomes that every one
having the least reason to fear that they have
contracted the disease should attend to it at
by consulting sonic physician, whose respectable
ty and education enables him to warrant safe,
speedy. and permanent cure. Inaccordance with
this necessity, Dr. Young feels called upon to
state that by long study aid. extensive practice,
he has become pcrfectmaster ofall ahbss diseases

external diseases suppose themselves cured, but
after a few months find themselves troubled with
various symptoms which they never had before,
and which they find it impossible to relieve. To
all who are afflicted in this way. Dr.. Young would
particularly recommend trial of his skill The

The Throne of Solomon.

The following account of a remarkable
piece of mechanism is taken from a Persian
manuscript called 1.-The History of Jerusa
lem" Il purports to be history of the
throne of King Solomon, and if the details
are correctly given, it undoubtedly surpassed
any specimen of mechanism produced in
modern times, twithstanding the wonder
full inventions and improvements, which
have lately taken place in every branch Of
science:
"The sides of it were of pure gold, the
feet of emerald and rnbies, inermxed with
pearls, each Of which was AS big as an os
trich egg.-Ihe throne had seven steps: on
each side were delineaicd orchards full Of
trees, the branches of which were composed
Of precious stones, representing fruit, ripe
and unripe, on the tops # the trees we're to
be seen figures of beautiful plumaged birds,
particularly the peacock, etuab, and the
kurges. All these birds were followed
within artiiciallv, SO as occasionally to utter
thousand melodious notes such as the ear
of mortal has never heard On the first
step were 1eneated vine branches, having
bun hes Of grapes composed Of vari
sorts of precious stones, fashioned in such a
manher rs to represent the different coors
OF purple violet, green and red, to rem Ter
the appearance of real fruit. On the second
step, on each side Of The throne, We're two
lions, OF terrible aspect. as large as life, and
formed of cast gold. The nature of this re-
markable throne WAS such, that when the
prophet Solomon paced his foot on the first
step, the birds sprang forth their wings and

touching the second step, the two lions exi
panded their claws. On his reaching the
third step, the whole assembly Of demon.
and fairies repeated the praises of deity
When he arrived at the fourth step. voice:

manner: "Son of David be thankful fol
the blessings the almighty has bestowed up
on vou.' The same was repeated on his
reaching the ifjh step On his reaching the
sixth, all the children Of Israel joined them
and on his arrival at the seventh, all the
throne, birds and aimals became in motion
and ceased not unil he had placed himself
in the roval seat, when the birds, lions and
other animals, by secret springs, discharged
