. YOUNG MEN r..
Who have injured themselves by certain prac-

cd from evil companions or ut school, the effects
of which are nightly felt, even W hon asleep, and
if not cured, renders marriage impossible, and
destroys both mind and body, should apply i'm
mcdiaLely. ...n:. ,,I
What pity that young man, the hope Of
his country, the pride Of his parents, should be
snatrhod from all prospects and enjoyment of
life by the consequence of deyating from the
path of nature, and indulging in pernicious
habits. Such persons must, before comtemplat-
ing.
Reflect that sound mind and body arc tho
most necessary requisites TO promote connubal
happiness. Indeed, without these the journey
through life becomes q weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly dsrkens to the view, the mind
becomes shsdowcd with despair, and filed with
the melancholy reflection that the happiness of
another is blighted with our own.
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENOE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-tlmed sense Of shame or dread of discovery de-
ters him from applying to those who, from cdu-
cation and respectabillty, can alone befrlcnd him,
delaying till the constitutional symptoms Of tho
liberated @ r. sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal
l,ans in the head and limbs, dmness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms:
blotches on the head, face and extremties, pro-
crossing with frightful rapidty, till at last the
palate Of the mouth or the bones of tho nose
tallin, and the victim of this awful disease be-
comes q horrd object of commisseration till
death puts period to his dreadful suffering, by
sending him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns"
It is melancholy y-faet that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of ignorant or unskilful PRE-
TENDERS. who, BY the use Of that deadly
Poison, Mercury, &C., destroy the constitution,
and incapable of curing, keep the unhappy suf
ferer month after month taking their noxious OF
injurious compounds, and instead otbeing re
stored TO renewal Of Life, Vigor and Happiness
in despair leaves him with ruined Health to sigh
over his CALLING disappointment.
