How Many Thousands Can Testify 10 This

Young men troubled with emissions in sleep-a
complaint generally the result OF bad habit in
youth-treated scientifically and perfect war;
ranted no charge made.
EHardly a day passes but consulted by one or
more young men with the above disease, some Of
whom are as weak and emaciated as though they had
the consumption and by their friends are supposed to
nave IT. All such cases yield to the proper and only
correct course OF treatment and in short time are
made to rejoice in perfect health.

In Congressional parlance, it
is statemanship to traduce an
entire people; to attribute the
misdeeds of q few villains to
entire communities to blazon
forth occasional outbreaks OF
lawlessness as evidences OF a
universal rebellious temper to
conceal the innumerable proofs
of the hearty reconciliation to
the Government of the great
masses of the people /; to con-
strue their willingness to obey
their obligations to that Gov
ernment, by reconstructing
their State institutions and
sending representatives to Con-
gress, as an indication OF a dis
position to get control OF the
National Government in the
interests of the rebellion. This
is the dirty work, the base SLAM
dering, the passion-in1aming
demagogery to which the So
called statesmen ofthe Radicals
are degraded. He is the most
illustrions leader whose rhetoric
is most violent, whose facts are
most exaggerated, whose mis-
representations are most dis
torted and offensive.-NationdI

Worldly Consolation.

The blast that sweeps Ger the frozen earth,
The last leaves from the forest shaking,
Breathes softer notes than the wording
mirth
To the heart that is heavy and breaking
For what are the songs of the festal board,
Or the widest strains of the yiol,
When the soul is bowed as its dying Lord,
In the garden of gloom and trial?
Ye may kindle smiles in the dropping eye,
Though tears DER the pale cheeks are
stealing,
As lightning flashes along the sky
When the storm is sullenly pealing.
Wild words of mirth on the lips may play,
Though sorrow can know no assuaging,
As merrily glisten the drops of spray,
Ger the gulf where the torrents are raging
Then wording sing to the broken heart,
In vain its anguish beguiling,
And deem that solaee the strains impart
When your victim is mildly smiling
That smile may glimmer a moment bright
Not pang of the bosom quelling,
As the cold moon CLEANS on the mists Of
night
And illumes without dispelling.

want committees to hunt UP or

More Child Beating.-The
Columbus, Ohio, Journal of last
week, relates the following:
"Mrs. Fanny Blackburn. q
resident of Middletown, was
arrested on Saturday, for in
humanity whipping or beating
her child, a little girl 6 or Z
years of age. The punishment
was not the result of a single
fit of rage, but the child had
been mistreated by both father
and mother for two or three
weeks. The legs, arms and
body of the child were bruised,
as though beaten by a heavy
stick or club, and upon the
body there were one or two
severe cuts, and a very severe
cut upon the head, amounting
almost to a fracture of the skull.
The hands had been held to the
hot stove until severely burned.
On both sides of each hand
there were bad looking blisters,
and the mother admitted she
had resorted to this burn
ing of the child's hands as a
mode ofpunishment. The child
was taken to St. Francis Hos
pital, at the Medical College,
and hopes were entertained
that it would recover, but with
a deformed body and a weak
ened mind"

Northern Radical brutes, who
are continually bowling at, and
shedding crocodile tears over
the imaginary sufferings of the
Southern negroes! What in

Stephen A. Douglas aud the Missouri Com
promise.

A correspondent of the Chicago Times
who Travelled in Europe with Stephen A..
Douglas sends to that paper some inter-
esting "reminiscences of the journey and
closes his letter with the following report
of subsequent conversation with Mr.
Douglas concerning the repeal of the
Missouri compromise
HAnd now let me bring this already too
lengthy letter TO close by relating what
took place between Douglas and Presi-
dent Pierce and his cabinet on the Kan
sas.Nebraska bill.
Upon my return from Europe, in Jan.
uary, 1854 douglas having returned
during the previous 0ctober), in passing
through Washington on my way West, |
called at his house iu the evening, and
had the good fortune to find him aloBe.
During the evening the subject of con
versation turned upon the Kansas Ne.
braska bill, which few days before he
had introduced into the Senate. | eX-
pressed my regret that the vexed ques-
ton settled by the Missouri compromise
was again to be disputed, and said that !
feared it would open the old dispute that
had been disposed of by the compromise
of 1850, with which the South was now
satisfied, and in which the North w0s
acuuiescent. He replied that that
was exactly the position assumed
by Mr. Pierce and his Cabinet, ex-
cent by Mr.. Davis, Secretary of
War, and by Mr. Dobbin, Secretary of
the Navy. But" said Douglas, the
Missouri compromise is fraud on the
Constitution aud the people of the ter
ritories, whose right is to frame their
own institutions. If a majority Of the
people of Kansas aud Nebraska, after
their organization into territories, are
in favor of slavery, why let them have
it. But no one believed that any slave
holding State will ever be formed north
of &c degrees 80 minutes Then why
continue an unconstitutional law upon
the statute book p This was the sub
stance of his argument 10 favor of bis
bill, which | often recalled during the
bitter Presidential canvass of 1860, when
he was charged by the Southern Demo
Gratis with a desertion of the principles
of the Kansas. Nebraska act
He then went on to relate his conver-
sation with Mr.. Pierce and his cabinet
on the tulltGb VI Ant HAof0oNN
of which Mr. Marcy, Secretary of State,
was especially violent in his eondemna-
tion. After the members Of the cabinet
had left the room, Mr.. Pierce sgain re-
turned to the subject, and, laying his
hand affectionately on Douglas shoulder,
said, Douglas, implore you not to
disturb the Missouri compromise by in
PRODUCING your bill; for / think l clearly
conceive that it will be the beginning Of
another sectional agitation, the effect Of
which / think Of with terror. Your bill
is a very Pandora's box, without the
hope at ibe bottom" !" and then, seeing
no evidence in Douglas face that his
purNpse was shaken, be added, with
emotion, IF l could prevail with you, l
would 20 down on my knees before you.
But Douglas was firm, and in the end
forced the President and bis cabinet,
frst 70 acquiesce in, and then to advo-
cate the measure.
