WHY DO NT YOU TAKE THE PAPERS.
I Why don't you take the papers?
They are the life of my delight!
Except about election limes,
And then I read forspite.
Subscribe, you cannot lose a cent,
Depend the advice is good;
For cash thus spent is money lent
On interest four-fold paid.
Co then and take the papers,
And pay to-day, nor pray delay
And my word it is inferred,
You'll live till you are gray.
An old newsmonger friend of mine
While dying of the cough.
Desired to hear the latest news;
While be was going o(T.
I look the paper and 1 read
Of some new pills in force,
He bought a box—and is he dead?
No, hearty as a horse!
I knew a printer's debtor once
Racked wiih a scorching fever,
Who swore to pay her bill next day,
If her disease would leave her.
Next morning she was at tier work,
Divested of her pain;
B*l did forget lo pay her debt;
Till taken down again.
'•Here, Jessie, take these silver wheels,
Go piy the primer now!"
She spoke, she slept, ami tin n awoke
With health upon her brow.
Why don't you take the papers!
Nor from tire printer's visage sneak,
Because yo borrow of his boy
A paper every week.
For he who tnk :s the papers,
And pays bis bills when duo,
Can live at peace with God ami man,
R | And with the Printer too.

OYAGE OF THE GREAT WESTERN, j
A THRILLING ACCOUNT OF TIIE STORM.
We gave yesterday a brief account of the
assage of lite steamship Great Western from j
.iverpool to New York, during which sliecn
luiitereu a terrific gale. The New York pa-'
crs contain a detailed and graphic narrative
f the voyage and of the violence of the storm,
jrnished by the Rev. Dr. Ralelt, from which
re make some extracts.
After stating that 011 Sunday, the 20th, at
1 o'clock, A. M., a heavy sea bruke over the
irepart of the starboard wheel bouse, struck
he ice house, (containing seven or eight tons
f ice,) and the iron life boat above it, twisted
hem front their fastenings, breaking the ice
ouse into two pufts, ripping oil" the planks, i
rushing the starboard companion wny, and j
nly prevented from making a clear breach in
teside of the ship, by a sudden lurch to port [
ie narrative proceeds:
Word was passed among the passengers that
wo of our boals were guno, and tho others
ere likely to follow, the davits and bolts be
ginning to give. Bui not a remark was made;
lacli spoke to the other only through the eye.
\nd tiie ominous silcnco which pervaded the
vhole company, told how sensibly all felt them
selves in the presence of the King of Terrors,
uncertain of their doom.
It was wonderful to see how a few short
hours changed the condition and feelings of all
on board. The grades and d'slinctions inci
dent to so large a company, varying in social
position, citizens of almost all countries, and
professing different creeds, yet in tho presence!
of so imminent danger, all distinctions seemed
merged into one common emotion of awe, as
we stood together in tho Court of tho great le
veller, Death. With this intense feeling which
bound us together as one, came also another ;
of an opposite and repelling character. Every
heart was occupied with its individual griefs
and memories, as if not another shared the
peril. Homo, with its loved ones, and a thou
sand cherished hopes and joys, rose fresh to
the view, and with a power like storm, swept
over the mind and left it like the ocean tem
pest, tost and troubled.
"See," said a gentleman to me, "no one
converses, 110 one reads—all are engaged, each
with his own thoughts; and if my wife and
children were here, 1 confess, my feelings
would be of the most distressing character."—
"But," said I, "they suffer in your loss."—
"Very true; yet it is only a question of time,
and, whether sooner or later, God's will bo
done."
"At noon, storm and sea raging in ail its fa-'
ry, sea still bringing over the ship, a heavy sea
struck the larboard paddle box, and smashed it
to atoms, sprung the spring beam and shattered
the parts of the ship attached thereto. A splin
ter struck the Captain on the head, and would
have knocked him overboard, but he was caught
in the nettings.
"After the sea had passed over, we found
the water had gained on the pumps; the wind j
appeared to lull a little and the ship a little
easier, but still blowing a storm. All the
hatches, except those made use of for passing
into the engine room, were buttoned down, and
the skylights partially covered. The weather
continued the same until midnight, at which
time it lulled for half an hour.
The log conveys the reader some idea of the j
state of the ship and effects of the storm on j
Sunday at noon. Its effects on those below j
can best bo given in the words of a gentleman .
who remained the groator part ef the time in
the cabin.
< "To convey an idea of the appearance of all j
around, is out of my power. In the words of j
Sheridan, 'the tempest roamed in all the tenor
of its glory.' The atmosphere was surcharged
whli a thick spray, rendering a look far out to
seaward Impossible. The wind howled, roar
ed and bellowed, like the constant mutterings
of the thunder cloud. Iluge waves of tre
mendous height and volume, rose in mad dis
play around the ship, threatening every mo
ment to break over us amidships and crush the
AND BALTIMORE DAILY CLIPPER.
PRINTED AND PUBLISHED EVERY MORNING, BY MULT, A TUTTLK, No. 134 BALTIMORE STREET, BALTIMORE, M<l
| vessel, Sea after sea struck us with terrific
noise, caused tlic gallant ship to stop for an in
stant, tremble and shake in every timber from
| her stein to her stern post, reeling and lurching;
tossed to and fro, again would she gather fresh
strength, and with her wheels half hid in the
wild waters, again and again receive the thun
dering blows of an clement that seemed armed
for our destruction.
The sails on the yards, strongly secured by
ropes and gaskets, were blown from their furls
and streamed out to leeward in ribbons, liul
ail this was nothing. About 1 I'. M., whilst
most of us w ere seated in agonizing suspense
in the lower cabin, holding fast to the tables
and settees, a sea struck the vessel, and a tre
mendous crash was heard 011 deck; instantly
the cabin was darkened, and torrents of wa
ter came pouring down upon us through the
sky-lights.
Scarcely had the waters reached the floor,
when all in the cabins and state-iooms sprang
to their feet, and simultaneously, as if by con
cert, the ladies uttered a scream of agony, so
painful, so fearful, and so despairing, the sound
of it will never be forgotten; and heaven grant
that such a wail of anguish may never again he
heard by me. Several fainted—others clasped
their hands in mute despair, whilst many call
ed aloud upon their Creator."
The crash to which tho writer alludes was
caused by the tearing up of the benches and
other wood work 011 the quarter deck. Those
were hurled with violence against the sky
lights, by the same sea which broke the win
dows of the saloon, drenching tho berths on the
larboard side, driving out their affrighted oc
cupants, whilst it smashed by its weight tho
glass over the main cabin, and thus found its
way below.
This was a period of intense emotion. I was
sitting in the upper saloon, striving to protect
some ladies from injuty. So violent were the
shocks of tho vessel, although firmly braced, it
was with some difficulty we could prevent our
selves being hurled front our seats, and dashed
with such violence against a part of the vessel
as to endanger life and limb. Many received
severe contusions and bruises, notwithstanding
all their efforts.
'Twns an anxious hour. My eye wandered
over the different groups in the saloon. Resting
one while on a father passing from one to anoth
er of his family, and cheering with a kind word
an interesting group of daughters. Then on a
young wife folded to the bosom of her husband,
without a word being uttered, but the action
spoke volumes; and again upon a' mother,
whose children had been left in America, as
she clasped her hands, as if in secret prayer,
whilst her husband and her father gathered a
round, and all seemed bowed down to earth in
one common feeling of tender solicitude for
those children who mightsosoon become help
loss orphans.
It was an awful hour. The most thought
less amongst us cowered in their secret heart
before a danger which none but a fool or brute
would have mocked, and all, therefore, ac
cepted the invitation to meet in Ihe cabin for
prayer.
Rev. Mr. Marsh read the 181 th Psalm.—
Itcv. Dr. Sinuckcr prayed. Rev. Dr. Boecher
made a few solemn remarks. Rev. Dr. Balch
repeated the words of our Saviour, "Let not
your hear* be troubled, ye believe in God, be
lieve also in me," —commenting briefly on
their consoling import, and then invited all
present to join w: fit bim in the Lord's Prayer;
after which, he pronounced the Apostle's bene
diction.
Night approached. And again I quote from
tlio gentleman who has kindly given me an ac
count of what took place below.
"Amid this accumulation of horrors, and
still more to add to our alarm, night gathered
in around us. The wind fat from abating, was
on the increase. Tho lulls in the storm being
less frequent, and tho squalls, if any tiling,
more terrific. The whole ocean was one sea of
foam, lashed up into terrible waves, wild and
angry, whilst the spray and wind seemed driv
en through the rigging and over the ship, as if
with demoniacal power. As darkness came, 1
clustered together in the cabin, we all thought
and reflected on our fate. Most, if not all of
us, had given up ourselves for lost. For what
with the heavy laboring of the ship, the terri
ble noise and howling of the wind, the continu
ed frequent tliumpings of the sea, the quivering
and shaking of the groaning timbers, the car-,
rying away of so many portions of the vessels'
upper works, and tho knowledge that wo were
perhaps for another night to be exposed to the
full power of a raging hurricane, left us little
to hope for."
In the evening about 9 o'clock, the Itcv. Mr.
Balcl), at tho request of several passengers, ad
ministered the Holy Communion in the cabin
to upwards of sixty passengers—many of them
received it there for the first time in their lives.
Several applied to him as to tho propriety of,
their embracing that occasion to fulfil a long
cherished purpose of their hearts, but which,;
like many other good thoughts, had been de- :
ferred to a more convenient occasion. They ,
all cominunioned, together with others, of al
most every creed and nation—thus reminding
us of a promise of Scripture, "they shall come
from the east and the west, the north and the I
south, and sit down with Abraham and Isaac
and Jacob, in the kingdom of God."
It was a most solemn scene. Mr. Balch first
read the service appointed for a storm at sea,
after which, tho whole communion office. The
terrible conflict of the element which raged
without was rendered yet more striking by tho
expressive stillness which pervaded that com
pany of Christ's disciples within.
Gathered around tire table, they received in
to hearts deeply moved, the consecrated em
blem of the Redeemer's body and blood. All
felt comforted by the blessed ordinance of grace.
Many a bosom before tossed with fear, was
now tranquil through faith. Once more all re
newed their vows, and realized the peace of
God shed abroad in their hearts, and felt, per
haps, with a vividness novcr before known.—
"Your life is hid with God in Christ." Oh!
it was a night and a communion long to be re
membered.
After the communion I returned to my state
! room. Tho gentleman who shared it with me
I had gona below to die, as ho expected, in corn
! pany with his daughter and son-in-law. Lefi,
therefore, alone, taking a last look at the pic
j lures of my little family and commending them
1 and all dear to me, to the grace and protection
! of God, 1 laid down and slept peacefully.
| "Monday, 21st, 12 30 continues the log, the
storin commenced raging again in all its fury
1 and the sea a perfect foam, till BA. M., at
SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 3, 1846.
which time Hie clouds began to break, and the
squalls less furious. Got ihu siiip's head to tin
N \V and hauled the yards round, the sea still
raging as before and nearly ahead, curling and
breaking over the ship in every direction. At
noon the storm ceased; but the sea continued
more violent till 2 P. M. at which time iteeas
ed gradually,,with the wind—having lasted
about 38 hours; during which time it gives ine
much pleasure Jto state, the officers and crew
conducted themselves with great coolness arid
presence of mind.
At half past 5 o'clock on Monday morning,
wo were iri the greatest possible danger.
Mr. Stevens, one of our passengers, who was
an eye-witness, says of it—"a peculiar lifting of
the horizon in the east, with an appearance of
an amber colored bell of low down on the
horizon, warned sof an untouching blow.—
Presently it came, a perfect tornado, driving
before it the clouds of spray, and as it tieared
ns, fairly lifting the white foam from the waves
like a shower of ruin. As the squall struck us,
the ship careened over and buried her gunwales
in the ocean, and lay for a few minutes stricken
powerless, and apparently at jhc mercy of the
savage waves that threatened ffi engulph us.—
This was the trial, the last round fought be
tween the elements and our gallant vessel. At
this critical moment the engine was true to iter j
duty. Still went on its revolutions, and round
and round thundered her iron wings. Gradu
ally recovering her upright position, the good
ship, with head quartering the sea, came up to
her course, and all was well. It was the cli
max of the stoim. The last great effort of the
whirlwind king, to send us to the sea-giants 5
cave below.
On Monday about 12, the storm had abated
sufficiently to admit of standing on the upper
stop of the companion-way with safety. It was
a sublime, hut an awful spectacle. The ocean
still labored under the effects of the hurricane.
Tlio wind veered 20 points in 36 hours; it is
impossible to imagine or describe tho wild and
tangled confusion of the waves. Rising to a
height apparently greater than that of the main
mast, they leaped and roared around the ship,
as if hungry and maddened at the loss of their
prey. At times the Great Western seetned as
if lowered by unseen spirits into her watery
grave; and every moment you expected it to be
filled in, and Iter requiem sung by the winds
amidst tho wilderness of waves.
But our danger was past, and with grateful
hearts on Tuesday morning, all assembled in
the cabin to render an act of common prayer
and thanksgiving.
Rev. Dr. Smucker read a psalm and made
some appropriate introductory remarks, and
Rev. Dr. Boecher addressed the passengers at
length and with much force on the mercy we
had experienced, and prayer was offered.
DREADFUL AFFAIR AT CINCINNATI— Murder
by a Ballimorean —Jlrresl of the Murderer. On
Sunday night, at Cincinnati, a young man
named Edward Byington, an engineer of one
of the Louisville mail boats, was killed in an
affray with another young ntan named Church,
a tailor by trade, and a nativo of Baltimore.—
The Times of Monday says:
Church, with two or throe companions, was
passing the comer, when Byington, purposely
or accidentally, ran against hint. Church, who
was somewhat intoxicated, demanded why he
did so, stating that he allowed rio man to run
against him; to which Byington gave a rough
answer. One word brought on another, and
they were about coming to blows when they
were separated by their friends, w ho endeavor
ed to persuade tliem to part and end tho diffi
culty. As Church was about leaving, be used
a provocative expression towards Byington,
when he (Byington) attacked hint with a cane,
which broke with the first blow. They then
came together, when Church drew a knife and
stabbed bis opponent several times. Ho then
started down Third street, in order to make bis
escape—Byington pursued him about ball a
square, when lie fell, and in a few minutes ex
pired. Church was pursued by others to Wal
nut street, where they lost sight of him.
Church was arrested this morning, as lie was
about going to vvoik, and was lodged in jail 10
await an examination before the Mayor.
He has a mother living in Baltimore. The
knife with which the dreadful deed was done,
was a largo, neatly finished Bowie knife: it
was found in tlio street yesterday morning.—
This is truly a dreadful affair—a cold blooded
murder. Byington was an inoffensive man,
and well known on the river and in this city
where he was raised.
The Herald gives the following as the origin
of tho affray:
The murdered man, whose name was Ed
ward Byington, with a friend, was going from
tho St. Charles Exchange along.Third street.
When they came to Main street they met se
veral Baltimoreans, among whom was a man
by the name of Church. When they met,
some one from the latter company called out
to clear the path for Baltimorcans, and brag
ging that they could whip any Buckeye. By
ington expressed a willingness to try strength
with them, as he was a Buckeye. An en
counter ensued, and Byingtou seized a small
cane which belonged to his friend, and was a-]
bout to use it when Church stepped up with a
drawn knife and stabbed him twice, once in tho
side, and once in the stomach. Byington, af
ter lie was stabbed, chased his opponents across
the street where ho fell.
The Atlas states that when Church was ar
rested lie was about to give himself up, alleg
ing that he acted in self-defence.
A PITY. John Johnson, formerly a respecta
ble citizen of Philadelphia, was arrested on
Thursday for stealing a pair of boots, and con
fessed that he did it to get rum?
HEAVY EMBEZZLEMENT. Thomas S. Un
derbill was arrested in New York on Monday
morning, on a charge of embezzling at various
times the sum of $4,500, the property of John
G. Winter, broker, in whose office he was em
ployed..
THE GREAT WEST. The increase in the
amount of Flour and Wheat, received at tide
water in Albany, over tlio corresponding peri-
I od of last year, is equal to "six hundred and
seventy thousand one hundred and faur barrels
I of flam!"
SANTA ANNA— His Desire for Peace. The
New Orleans Bulletin has a letter from Vera
Cruz, dated August 31st. The Bulletin says:
The writer thinks Santa Anna is disposed to
come to terms with the United States, but con
sidering the inveterate feeling of hostility which
exists among the mass of the Mexican popula
tion, or "the lower class" as our correspondent
terms them, ho believes it will bo impossible lo
bring about a pence, by any o'her means bat
"good, hard knocks." Ho says this class are
ail in favor of a prosecution of the war, al
though every thing in the country indicates
weakness. "The clergy plead povorly," he
says, "merchants have nothing to do but lalk
polities, numbers of houses both here and in the
city ol Mexico have failed, clerks arc all idle,
and tho sufferings among the lower and midd
ling classes are very great, but notwitlistand- '
; trig all this they insist upon tho war being car- !
ried on, and preparations are making on a large 1
seale to do so." Concerning the President's j
proposition to enter into negotiations, ho says: '
' the people hero do not seem propared for such ]
a result, and the President might as well have
sent so much blank paper."
_ Speaking of Santa Anna's arrival at Vera
Crirz, lie says, "lie was particularly cool with :
foreigners, and as I thought especially s.> with j
the English." This coolness so marked to
wards the English residents, our correspondent
is of opinion, was caused by the belief on the'
part of Santa Anna, that they had meddled too
much with tho affairs of the country.
THE CORN TRADE AXO THE ENGLISH NEWS.
I lie news, says the New York Express, is very
favorable, and tho advance in England greater
than wo have had occasion to notice in a long
time. A letter from the highest authority, da
ted Liverpool, Sept. 11th, says:
Tho flour market has advanced materially
since the sailing of the Cambria; and though j
there has been less doing, yesterday some thou
sand barrels changed hands at 27a2Ss. in bond, f
and 30a315. duty paid. The best white Indian
corn is held at 43a445. for 480 lbs., but there is
now a pause." [The price of flour at Liver- I
pool, 011 the 3d of September, was 23a245. in 1
bond, and 36u385. for 180 lbs. corn.]
The position of the crops may be thus stated:
The wheat crop is an average one in amount, 1
and the grain is fully as heavy, if not above tho
average weight, while the coarser grains and
pulse are much damaged, and tho potato crop
a failure.
Tho present prices in Liverpool do not war- '
rant the purchase of flour for shipment at any
thing above the rates of yesterday—that is
$5 50. Prices over this, it will be seen by cal
culation, must lie returned to the American
buyer by a further rise in England.
PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. The
62d convention of the Episcopal church, is now
in session in St. John's Chapel, New York
Tiie question of paying tho bishop's salary out
of the Episcopal fund, is again brought for
ward. A Now York letter says:
Tlio subject was "hurried up" before tho
Convention on Wednesday afternoon, by Judge
Burnett, of Ticonderoga, immediately upon the
completion of tho preliminaries of organization.
No sooner had tho President, the R-v. Mr.
Creighton, pronounced, and tho Secretary,tho
Rev. Dr. Haight, recorded the usual standing
committees, than the Judge sprung tho mine
of contention by introducing a resolution di
recting tlio payment of the suspended dignita
ry. A shock of sensitiveness ran over the Con
vention, and a scone of hubbub followed, which
was interrupted by an immediate adjournment.
This morning the officiating Bishop of the Dio
cese, Bishop McCloskey, of Michigan, present
ed his report, of his episcopal acts since May,
1545. He has ordained 3 priests, 3 deacons, 1
churches, 2 corner stones, and confirmed 1869.
The report of tho Bishop of Western N. York
followed. He ordained 7 deacons and 2 priests,
consecrated 3 churches, and confirmed 158 in
12 parishes.

whole row. The fire companies succeeded in
extinguishing the flames, however, before it had

DR. JOHNSTON,
a distinguished cradtiate from one o-f the first Co-
I leges • ntbe United flutes, which mav be seen by h.
Diploma: also a member of the Royal College of
burgeons and Licentiate of the Apothecary's Hall,
; London; arid the greater part of whose life has been
rpent in the first hospitals of Europe and America,
j viz- those of London, Paris and Philadelphia, may
j be consulted on all diseases, but more particularly
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
| When the misguided and imprudent votary of plea
sure finds he has imbibed the seeds nfthis painfttl dis
ease, it too olten happens that an ill-timed sense of
shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from apply
ing to those who, from education and respectability
can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional
symptoms of this horrid disease make their appear
ance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in tin head and limbs,dininessof sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches
on the luad, faceand i xlremities, progressing un with
frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or
the bones of the nose fall in anil th>' victim of this aw
ful disease becomes a hoirid object of commiseration,
til! death puts a period to his dreadful sufferings, by
sending him to "that bourne whence no traveller re
turns." To such, therefore, Dr. JOHNSTON pledges
himself to preserve the moot inviolable secrecy: and,
from his extensive practice in the first hospitals of
Europe and America, he can confidently recommend
a safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim of
this lioriid disease.
It is a melancholy fhet, that thousands fall victim*
to this horrid disease, owing 10 the iinskillfulness Oi
men, who by Ihe use of that deadly poison, mercury,
ruin the constitution, and either send the unfortunaM
suffer to an untimely grave, or else make the residun
of his life miserable.
GONORRHOEA AND GLEET CURED, by ths
most speedy and the most pleasant remedy known ta
no other physician. It requires no restraint of dint,
or hindrance from business—it is mild, safe and eJ
cacious, eradicating every symptom of this affection,
without causing other diseases, such as STRICTCM
and AFFECTIONS or THE BLADDER and I'ROSTRATI
GLAND, which impyrics and quacks so often create
their noxious drugs and filthy infections.
STRICTURES —when there is a partial snpprea
sion of urine, accompanied with uneasiness in the
parts, or a frequent desire to make water, it is called
Stricture. Vet this disease may exist, and none Oi
these symptdjns be perceptible, or if at all, they ara
so slight as to pass unnoticed; hence, we find thon
sands laboring under this affection who are entirely
unconscious of it— such persons become weak in the
parts, seldom have children, and in the later stages of
this complaint are incapable of enjoying Marriage—
their systems become deranged, particularly the
stomach, inducing symptoms of dyspepsia; also affec
tions of the mind, peculiar fits ol melancholy, Sic.
&c. which may end in some dreadful disease of iht
nerves, and will either cause a pieinaturo death 01
else make the rest of life miserable. To such per
; sons, Dr. JOHNSTON offers the most speedy remedy
that can be obtained in the United Slates.

the effects of'which are nightly liell even when asleep,
and if not cured renders marriaee impossible, and de
stroys both nitnd and body.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, and the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all the niospect* and enjoyments of
life by the t onsei|iieiiees of deviating from the path of
nature and indulging in a certain secret Itahi't. Such
persons before content plating
MARRIAGE,
Should reflect that a sound and body are the most
neccssaty requisites to promote eotniiibinl happiness.
Indeed, without these, the journey through life be
comes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect hourly dark
ens to Ik' view-the wind becomes shadow, d with
despair,and filled with lite melancholy reflection, thai
the happiness of another becomes blighted without
own.

Loss of virile power is the penalty mostfreg uen'.iy
paid by tltose who give a loose rein orlieensi totheit
passions. Vouna peisons art too apt to commitex
eesses from nat being aware of the tiretulftil effects
that may ensue. Allltouch impotent'.; oeeiiti frota
stricture, depositee in the urine, grave - !, and from nu
merous other causes, yet the abase of the sexual or
gans, by excessive venery or self-pollution; patticuj
larly the latter is the more frequent cause of it. Now
who that understands the subject will pretend to deny
that the power of piocreaiing the species i lost soon
eyliy those who practice the solitary rice than by tils
prudent. Besides, by premature impotence lite di
! ecslive functions are il> ranged and the physical and
■ mental powers weakened by a too frequent ami too
great excitement of the genital organs. Parents and
guardians are often misled, with respect to th
; c auses or sources of disease in their sons and wards,
i How often do they ascribe to other causes the wast
| iitg of lite frame, idiotcy, madness, palpitation of ths
heart, indigestion, derangement el the nervous sys
tem, cough and symtoms, indicating consumption,
when the truth is that ihey have been caused by in}
dulging in a pernicious, though alluring practice, desi
tractive to both mind and body.
INVOLUNTARY SEMINAL EMISSIONS,
Of this distressing disease, which is the toiumoa
result of 'he above mentiwned sterol habit, but a very
j brief description formally reasons.can be given here.
The complaint comes on gradually. It begins by a
I ton hasty discharge r.f semen is copulative and pas
sionate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty,
' haw HO power, while lite erections are feeble, imper
fect and soon over. As the disorder grows worse
tin, discharges or emissions become u.„rr easily cx'
| cited ami frequent, often brought on by lascivious
: ideas, or by merely touching the'part, in this depio
rnjtle ease, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection, and in this debilitated
arid sensitive stale of the organs the direful effects of
pollution so ruinous to health, take place day and
night. Pale, emaciated, and weak, the unhappy vic
tim of artificial gratification complains of pain in ths
head and back, has a languid look, dimness of sight
Hustling of the race win a spoken to, lowr.ess of snJ
rits, and a vague dread of something, often startins

loaUis society, from an innate sense of shame and
feels a dislike to all bodily and mental exertion-
Distressed, and his nirnd fixed upon his miseries h.
slyly searches every* source th prom ses relief*
Ashamed to make known his situation to his friends
