A ThriIIing Discovery.

The following wonderful story is told by
the London correspondent of the Dublin
Evening Mail:
This Is the age of discoveries, and one OF
such startling nature has just been made
in an English county that It seems out oil
place 10 the region Of sober fact and TO be-
long purely TO the atmosphere of the three
volume novel. Here are the circumstances:
the names for The moment ain not at lib.
erty to indicate. The Earl Of mar
rfed not long go. and brought his bride
home TO one of the old family mansions,
which members of the English aristOcracy
regard With an affection amounting to ven-
GRAFTON. The lady, however, being more
continental in her taste, after short res.
idence in the apartments appropriated to
her own use, expressed wish to have a
boudoir in the vicinity of her bedroom. The
noble earl would gladly have complied with
the request, but, upon examination, II was
found that rooms, as sometimes happens in
antique buildings, were so awkwardly dis.
tributed that by no conceivable plan of re.
arrangement could the desired bOudolr be
fitted in, thereupon II became necessary TO
invoke professional assistance. and a very
eminent architect was summoned from Lon
don. He examined the house narrowly, and
said there seemed to be nothing for it but
to build though at the same time he could
not resist the impression that there must be
another undiscovered room somewhere in
that wing of the mansion. The noble earl
laughed at the idea; the eldest servants and
retainers of the family werelquestioned, and
declared that they had never heard rumor
OF its existence. The earl at length consen-
ted TO let the wall be bored, aud, when an
opening had been made, not only was the
room found, but sight presented itself
which almost defeats attempts at descrip.
tiOn. The apartment was fitted up la the
richest and most luxurious style of one huu.
dred aud fifty years ago. A quantity Of
ladies' apparel lay about the room, jewels
were scattered on the dressing-table, aud,
but for the aspect which every thing wore,
the chamber might have been tenanted half
an hour previously. On approaching the
he'd the most curious sight of all was seen,
and this II is which affords the only clue to
the mystery. The couch held the skeleton
ola female, and on the door underneath
the bed, half in and half out, lay another
skeleton, that of man, presenting evident
traces Of violence, and proving that, before
ne expired 10 that position, he must have
received some dreadful injury. The secret
connected with this tale of blood has been
well kept, for not merely had all traditions
of the scene faded away, but even the exis.
tence of the room itself was forgotten. The
survivors probably walled up the apart
ment at the time, aud its contents remained
Theoretically sealed up to the present day
when, according to the best calculations,
after lapse of q century and a.half, day.
light has at last penetrated into this cham.
Der of horrors.

slut the bright world from my sight
When around the cheerful FIRE
Gather brothers, sisters, sire-
There miss my boys bright face
From his old familiar place,
And my sad heart wanders back

Often in my troubled sleep
WakIng--weary to weep
Often dreaming he is near,
Calming every anxious fear
Often startled by the fash
or hostile swords that meet and clash,
Till the cannOns' smoke and roar
Hide him from my eyes once morel
Thus dream-and hope and pray
All the weary hours away;
But know his cause is just,
And centre all my trust
In thy promise: CAS- thy day
So shall thy strength be''-alwayi
Yet need thy guidance still
FHthsrl let me do thy will
IL new sorrow should befall-

II the bright head have blessed
On the cold earth find its rest
Still, with AL the mother-heart
Torn, and quivering with the smart,
yield him, meath thy Christening rod,

STRUCTURE.

This terrible disease is aarmingly the increase
in this country and should be attended to in season
for there is no complaint more dangerous, and at
tended with more suffering than this fatal disease.
ANY person who has been troubled with yenereal,
seminal weakness, any other private disease,
should watch very closely for this trouble its first
symptoms is generally unpleasant sensation in
the parts sometimes Of a tickling nature, uneas-
mess of the mind, underlined dread OF something
you know not what and If not attended to the urine
becomes affected and then follow all those dreadful
symptoms which often result in q miserable and
disgusting death. But the suffering, before death
comes to relieve the patient, is dreadful sometimes
pIunging the sufferer into that living death-lnsan-
ity.
Dr.. J. c. Young's mode Of treatment is a new dis
eovery, made within a few years by NJ. Rcord OF the
French Venereal Hospital; and is sure, safe and
speedy.
An afflicted should call on Or. Young at once, and
they win be sure Of permanent cure without an
operation.
p. S-nr. J. c. Young's Medical Works give a
more detailed account of the above awful disease,
Dr. c. Young's Office is at No. 75l Clay street,
opposite the the Portsmouth House, San Francisco,
California.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED.
In consequence of the wide spread celebrity Of Dr.
j. c. Young, certain pretenders have palmed them
selves upon the unsuspecting, being the vertabe
DR.. Young. Persons wishing to avail themselves of
D. Ys skill should be very careful and call at his of
fee or send some known friend that will not deceive
them as tha landlords of some disreputabe hotels
have been in the habit OF keeping loungers on at
their places and when requested to call Dr Y, have
palmed such persons upon the invalid as being DR..
Young. The Doctor will always be ready to attend
on cases where the patient is not able to call. HIS
medicines Dannot be obtained at any other place in
the country, as he has agents. Therefore, be
careful and not be deceived by any Of the quacks
and imposters of the State.
