REAL BoY.-The girls in the High School
of Bath, Me, publish a periodical in which
original contributions appear. One of the
writers defines the difference between two
classes of boys, thus: GOOD little bows in
books, die young. being too good for this
world. And this so frightens the little boys
in real life that they won't be good. for fear
that they, too will die. The boy in the book
goes cunning or fishing Sunday; and as
punishment for this sin accidentally shoots
himself. or tumbles into the water and gets
drowned; whereas, the little bov in real life
does the same thing. with the exception that
instead of getting killed. he comes hack safe
and sound. all ready for the same fun On the
following Sunday: The boy in books gallant
ly escorts young ladies home from soclables
and all such; the boy in real life, as indica.
ted by our experience, leaves the young ladies
to find their way home as best thev CAM
1t is added, very frankly. that ''good ilIustra.

ATTACKED BY RArs.-A Toronto paper of
March 9th says:

March 9th says:
A couple of nights ago small army of
rats. seemingly met together by concert,
created no small sensation in the house of a
poor woman on Elizabeth street, by very
singular proceeding. The woman was living
in bed, asleep with her two little ones, when
she was aroused by the screams of the chill
dren. On awaking she was Mortified to find
the bed fairly covered with rats, while the
floor of the room was almost black with them
Her children at her side were screaming
wildly not alone through terror, but through
pain also, for the vermin had seized them by
the nose, ears, aud cheeks, and were rapidly
settling themselves down on every part of
their faces, OF course, with mothers in
stinct, the woman Immediately rescned her
little ones, while the rats scampered off in
all directions and quickly disappeared. The
faces of the children were cut and bleeding
in several places, and the wounds on the
nose of one of them were considered so Sc
rious that DR.. Lawlor was called in, and his
hands the little ones have been we'll cared for
and are now doing well. 1t is supposed
the invasion was caused by the heavy rains
that prevailed at the time, which, flooding
the drains and other places in which the ra 5
make their homes, drove them out and forced
them to seek food and shelter elsewhere.-
had the children been alone they would GER
taihly have been eaten alive, as the rats
were found around them in hundreds and
"outa shortly have attacked their throats.
mheh death would have resulted in a very
few minutes.

Horrible Diseases.
How many thousands of persons, both male and

existence from the effects of secret indulgence or
from virus absorbed into the system. Look at
their pallid, emaciated and disfgured faces and
their broken-down constitutions, dsqualifying
them for the happiness of marriage the enjoy
ment of life. In this horrd situation thousands
suffer until death closes the scene. Let parent +,
guardians and friends attend to those who are suf-
fering with any of these horrible ife-destroying
malades-see that they are cared for and cured
before it is too late. Send them Immediately to
DIR. Gibbon, physician who has made private
diseases his special study for years, and who is
certain to cure the most nveterate cases, without
mercury or any injurious drugs. 1t is important
to those afflicted, to those who are interested in

many pretended doctors who infest all cities pub

days, imposing upon tho public by using the names

Seminal Weakness.

Seminal emissions, the consequence of self
abuse. This vice, depraved sexual indulgence,
is practiced by the youth of both sexes to an al
most unlimited extent, producing, with unerring
certainty, the fol owing train of morbid svmptomt
unless combatted by scientific medical measures =
viz; Sallow countenance, dark spots under the
eyes, pain in the head, ringing in the cars noise
like the rustling of leaves and rattlng of ehariots
uneaslness about the loins weakness of the limbs
confused vision, buned intellect loss of confidence
dlthdenee IN approaching strangers, a dislike to
form new acquaintances, disposition to shun So
clety, loss of memory, hectic fushes. pimples and
various eruptions about the face. furred tongue
feted breath, coughs consumption, night sweats
monomanla and frequent insanity. If relief is not
obtained the sufferer should apply immediately
either IN person or by letter, and have a cure eff
fected by his new and scientific mode of treating
this disease, which never fails of efecting quick
and radical cure. DR.. G. will give One Hundred
Dollars to any person who will prove satisfactorily
to him that he cured of this complaint by
either of the San Francisco quaeks.
DOCTOR GIBB0N is responsible and will give

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates dupe
the unwary. Some of the sef-styed doctors,
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some tinsmiths, shoemakers
newspaper carriers, intelligence office keepers, &C.
Look over the San Francisco directory and YOU
will not find their Medical Institutions in it, Look
at the Directory for lS62 and 1868. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
as advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus, there is safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are Dr.
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles, certificates, pretended patients letters &C.
DIR. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.
