DU. JOHNSTON
Member of ibo Royal College of Surgeons, London.
Graduate from one of the most eminent Colleges ol
the United States, and d... greater part of whose
♦ life has been spent in tin H -spiluls of London, I fl
.ris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has effected some
• of the most astonishing cures that were ever know n.
Many troubled with ringing in the ears and head
•when asleep, great nervousness, beiifir alarmed at
sadden sounds, and bashfulness, with frequent
(blushing, attended, sometimes, with derangement of
•wind, were cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Parents and Guardians are often misled w ith re
spect to the cause or source of disease in their sons
aad wards. Alas! how often do they ascribe to
«ther causes the wasting of the frame, l’ulpi
tation of the Henri, Dyspepsia. Iudigestion.
derangement of the Nervous System. Cough,
and Symptoms of Consumption, also those se
rious Mant'd effects, such as loss of Mem
ory, Depression of Spirits or peculiar fits of Mel
aneholy, whes the truth i* they have been caused
hv indulging in Pernicious but alluring practices,
destructive to both* Body and Mind. 1 bus an
swept from existence thousands who might, liavi
been of u*e to their Country, u pleasure to the it
friend* and ornaments to Society.
UR. JOHNSTON’S INVIGORATIVE REMEDY
FOR OUG AN 1C W EAKNEPS.
Thi*grand and important Remedy ha* restored
streng! i and vigor to thousand* of the most debilita
ted individuals, many who hud lost all hopes, and
been abandoned to die. By its complete invigora
lion t,f tho NervonsSystcm, the whole faculties be
come restored to their proper power and functions,
and the fallen fabric of life i- raised up to beauty
consistency and duration, upon the ruins of uh ema
ciated and premature decline, to sound and pristin*
health. Oh. how happy have hundreds of misgui
ded youths been made, who have been suddenly re
stored to health from the devastations of those ter
rific maladies which result from. indiscretion.—
Such persons, before contemplating marriage
should relloct that a sound mind ami body are tin
most iwves-air v requisites to promote connubial bap
piness. Indeed, without this, the journey tlirougl
life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect hour
ly darkens to the view; the mind becomes shadoweci
with despair, and filled with the melancholy reflec
tion that the happiness of another become*blighted
with our own. Let no false delicacy prevent you
but apply Immediately.
He win* place* himself under the care of DR
.JOHNSTON, rnay religiously confide in hi* honoi
as a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon his skil
as a Phvsician.
TO STRANGERS.
The many thousand* cure<h\i this institution w ith
in the last ten years, and the numerous important
fturgical Operation* performed by Dr. J., witnessed
by the Reporters of the papers and many other per
sons. notice* of which have appeared again and again
before the public,i* a sufficient guarantee that the af
flieted will fuel a skilful! aad honorable physician.
N. B There are so many ignorant and
worthless* Quacks advertising themselves ns Physi
cians, ruining the health of the already afflicted .that
Dr. Johnston deems it necessary to say. •specially to
those unacquainted with his reputation that his

the best practice on English farms, and adapted to
general use in this country by the judicious notes

Mpm of the Time.
A neat little volume, well tilled with in
formation, has just made its appearance
under this title; the object being to preseut
sketches of living notables—men from
whose actions we may learn the character
and uims of the passing era. As a speci
men of the manner of execution, we pre
sent the following scraps of quotation:
JOSEPH HUME.
Hume, Joseph, a Radical Reformer,
whose history adds another memorable ex
ample of perseverance, raising its posses
sor from an humble station to distinction.
He was born at Montrose, in theyear 1777,
While he was still young, his father, the
master of a 6mall trading-vessel of that
port, died, leaving his widow to bring up
a numerous family. Mrs. Hume, it is re
lated, maintained herself and her children
by means of a small earthenw are business
and placed Joseph in a school of the town,
where he received an education which
included instruction in the elements of
Latin. With such scanty stores of knowl
edge, he was apprenticed to a surgeon of
Montrose, with whom he served three
years.
Having attended the prescribed lec
tures to the medical classes in the univer
sity of Edinburgh, he was admitted, in
1706, a member of the College of Surgeons
in that ciiy. India was at that time a fa-1
vorite, and, indeed, almost the only held
for the young who had no other fortune
than their talents and enterprise. To India,
accordingly, Mr. Hume went, and entered
as a surgeon the naval service of the East
India Company. He had not been there
three years, before he was placed on the
medical establishment of Bengal. Here,
while increasing his professional reputation
he had the opportunity of watching the
u hole operation of the machinery of the
Company's service. His quick eye soon
detected the deficiencies of the greater
number of the Company's servants in com
mand of the native language, an acquire
ment so valuable in possessions such as
ours, rie determined to acquire a knowl
edge of the dialects of India, not doubting
that a sphere of larger utility and greater
emolument would open before his efforts.
The Mahratta was breaking out in 1803,
Mr. Hume was attached to Major-general
Powell’s division, and accompanied it on
its inarch from Allahabad into Bundul-'
cund. The want of interpreters was now :
felt, as Hume had expected, and the com-.
rounder was glad to find among his sur
geons a man capable of supplying the de
ficiency. He continued to discharge his
new duties without resigning his medical
appointment, and managed to combine
with both the offices of paymaster and
post-master of the troops. His ability to
irold direct intercourse with the natives
continued to he of immense service to him,
and enabled him to hold, simultaneously, a
n umber of offices with most varied duties,
such as nothing but an unwearying frame
and an extraordinary capacity could have
enabled any person to discharge.
At the conclusion of the peace, fie re
turned to the presidency, richer by many
golden speculations, for which a period of
w'ar never fails to otter opportunities. In
1808, having accomplished the object fur
which he left his native land, he came to
England, and, after an interval of repose,
determined upon making a tour of the
conntry,the better to acquaint hixnself with
the condition of its inhahitrrits. After
malting this tour, and visiting various con
tinental countries, he returned .to England,!
where he devoted himself to a political
career; and since 1812, he has for the most
part had a seat in the House of Commons.
His parliamentary history since 1812 has
been that of a reformer of abuses and ene
my of monopoly, and he is respected even
by those who differ from him in opinion.
DICKENS.
Dickens, Charles, the most popular wri
ter of bis time, was born in February,
1812, at Land port, Portsmouth. His fa
ther, the late Mr. John i >ickens, in the
earlier part of his life, enjoyed a post in the
Navy Department, the duties of which re
quired that he should ruside from time to:
time indifferent seaports: now at Plymouth, j
now' at Portsmouth, and then at Sheerness. I
“In the glorious days” of the war with |
France, these tow ns were full ot life,bustle j
and character; and the farther of “Box” j
was at times fond of dilating upon the j
strange scenes he had witnessed. One of j
his stories described a sitting-room be once |
enjoyed at Blue town, Sheerness, abut-1
ting on the theatre. Of an cveoing he!
used to sit in this room, and could hear
what was passing on the stage, and join
in the chorus of God mix the Kilt", and j
Britannia rules the Waves—then tlie fa*,
vorite songs of Englishmen. Tke war
being at an end; amongst those who left
the public service with a pension was the
father of our novelist. Coming to Lon
don, he subsequently found luc rative em
ployment for his talents in the press as a
roporter of parliamentary debates.. Charles
Dickens may, therefore, be S lid to have
been in bis youth familiarised until “copy;”
and when his father, w ith parental anxiety
for his future career, took the preliminary
steps for making his son an attorney, the
dreariness of the proposed occupation fell
so heavily upon the mind of f .he future au
thor, that he induced his fat her to permit
nim to resign the law, and join the parlia
mentary corps of a daily newspaper.
His first engagement was on the True
Sun, and ultraliberal paper, then carrying
in a fierce struggle for existence, from the
staff of which he afterwa rds passed into
die reporting ranks of the fdvrning Chroni
•le. On that paper, he obtained reputa
:ion as a first-rate man—aw reports being
exceedingly rapid, and n it less correct.—
[n the columns of the tChronicle he soon
*ave proofs of other tal jnts than those of
i reporter; for in the e veiling edition of
that journal appeared the Sketches of Eng
lish Life and Charade r, afterwards col
lected to form the twow ellknown volumes
Sketches hy Boz, pul ilished respectively
n 183G and 1S37. Thjese at once attract
sd considerable notice, and obtained great
success; and the publisher of the collected
sdition, anxious to m ake the most of the
prize which had fallen to his lost, gladly
came to an arrangem ent with Mr. Dickens
ind Seymour, the comic draughtsman*—
he one to wiite, and she other to illustrate
i book which should exhibit the adventures
:>f a party ofCockn -ay .sportsmen. Hence
he appearance of 1 \<Jcwick, a book which
made its author's reputation and the pub
lisher's fortune. A .for the work had com
menced, poorSeyn jour committed Suicide,
ind Mr. Hablot K- Browne was selected
:o continue the illustrations which he did
under the sign at are of “Phi*.” Mean
while, Mr Dick* acs had courted and mar
ried the daughte r of Mr. George Hogarth,
hen, and now', a musical writer; a man of
considerable attainments, and who, in his.
sariiest days, whilst a w riter to the Signet,
author demands from all sides for another
work, and "Boz’' agreed to write NichuUu
Nkkleby, to publish in monthly parts. In
the prefatory notices,which give additional
value to the cheap and elegant reprint of
the works of Dickens, we are indulged
with slight glimpses of his own recollec
tions, personal and literary. It is unneces
sary to note the tities of Sir. Dickens’ sub
sequent works, all of which have justly
obtained popularity. He has latterly en
tered on a path not dissimilar to our own.
•nd in (his he has our very best w-ishes.—
The cause of social melioration seeds a
union of heirta and hands.

Epitaph in Rhyme.
In former times, when a human being
was cut off by disease or accident, the
cause of his death was stated in hiaepitaph;
and thus every graveyard became a vol
ume of necrologic statiscics, of which
tomb stones were the ponderous leaves.—
The proportion of fatal casualties to the
mortality from ordinary causes in those
days was almost infinitesimal. Steam had
not progressed beyond the tea-kettle stage,
and that steed from the stable of Moloch,
the iron horse, hsd not been added to the
racing calendar. In that day, dreadful
accidents were so rare, that they usually
registered in verse upon the grave of the
deceused. Among the couplets and stan
zas preserved in the writings of those Old
Mortalities who have taken the pains to
scrape the rr.oss and mildew from the lit
erature of the church-yard, we recollect
the following •
"Here I luys.
Killed l*y u chase.”
“Hero I lie.
Killed by u sky,
Rocket in the eye.”
“Weep, stranger, for a father spilled.
From a stage coach, and thereby killed;
His name John Sykes, a maker of sassonjrers.
Slain with thee oilier out-side passengers.”
“Here lies the body of James Monk,
Suddenly drowned when he was drunk, i
He paid his score und cheated no iwun—
De mortui mil nisi bonum.”
Uic jaerf, Tom and Titos Tressel,
Lost by the swamping of their vessel,
A leak she sprung and settled fust;
Payment of Nat urn’s debt was asked;
And it was paid—the debtors failing
To give security by bailing.
Full many a storm they nohlv braved.
And tho’ they are lost, we hope they are wed.”
Thus were "fatal catastrophes” chron
icled upon the graves of the victims, a
hundred years ago. An explanatory in
scription was considered in such cases as
necessary as a table of contents at the
commencement of a book. And why not
apply the same plan to modern catastro
phes? I? a hundred people arc killed by
a steamboat explosion in these days, they
arc buried at once Out ol'lhe Way;and when
a train is smashed and a car full of passen
gers sacrificed, the directors of course do
not wish to see tile record of the massacre
engraved on a hundred head stories. In
Spain it is customary to plant a cross
wherever a murder lias been perpetrated
If ibis custom were observed along tliO
lines of our railways, in memory of the
multitude annually butchered through the
criminal carlessness of railroad corpora
tions and their employees, some good
might come of it. At least tho public
would be enabled to tee what the com
panies were doing, and compare the lists
of killed on the variola highways of Jug
gernaut. Each cross should have inscrib
ed on it an epitaph, or some memento ot
the manner ot death, and, to avoid any de
lay which might occur iu the preparation
of epitaphs suitableto the occasion, ft would
bo well to have a vast number embracing
every variety of steam murder, manufac
tured to bund, printed in sheets like
"mottoes,” and peddled in the cars by the
boys who sell new spapers and cheap liter
ature, so that a casualty might never find
the survivors unprovided with documents
that w ould fit the case. A small assort
ment of the article, embracing a few' of the
styles of the accident moat common on
railways, is submitted below;
“A sudJpn pitch
From u misplaced tw itch
Laid me deud in the ditch.”
“Tloro repose two victims sta-ked
At one blow by tbe same snake-head.”
“What is life ? ’Tin but a vision,
Here I died hv a collision,
Twenty more died by the same.
Verdict—‘Nobody to bluine.”
“Sister, mother, aunt, and me
were run over. Here we he,
We should have hud time to mu^le. t
Hud they blown the engines Kvlft*tlex‘**
4 Sweep found .the curve
Whose outer flexure bordered an abyss,
Tho cars were runted down the precipice.
And seven of us killed, iiyt .what of that J
'Twas the curve did Jt; and ,the engineer,
Being upon a bender, was pxcuied,”
“Train-borne traveller, rushing by,
.Ah thou wipe thiiju eye.
Here a ear well tilled w.ith freight.
Killed sixteen and wounded eight.
For a moment, friend* be wiwpcc*,
An you pas* the rail road aleepers.
You may abate ourfato»^why not?
Era you reach the next depot."
“In a line, bank from this atone,
Lie crushed corpse* fifty-one.
The conductor was asleep:
And the engineer likewise-,
For a snooze dosed his eye*,
But Heaven’s watchful care sustained.
Neither of the two was brained. .
Pitying reader, drop a tear
For the car and engineer."
“Here are deposited the hone*
(The flesh being torn ofl)
Of an unknown man,
Who being deaf, blind, and lame.
Neglected to obey the customary signal*
And was run over a* a punishment
For hi* contumacy.
The engineer promptly stood the engine
After it had cut the body in two.
And, with most exemplary humanity.

But. alas !
The vital tpark had fled 1
For the humanity they displayed,
The engineer and signal men
Were presented by the company
With a service of plate.
Go THOU AND DO LIKEWISE*"
This epitaph system might he applied
with advantage on the shores of our west
ern rivers—especially the Mississippi. The :
dull monotony of a voyage up stream
would be agreeably relieved by a perusal
of the various obituary gems with which
the margin of the “father of waters" might i
be appropriately studded.^Sanday Timet. \

Boston, March 29. 1852. f
Sir—In your edition of Saturday you
saw fit to take exception to a visit paid by
me to several of your public schools in com
pany with two of your respectable fellow
citizens. This exception was based on re
ports spread to my detriment by my Jes
uitic enemies, and as to the truth or false
hood ot which you assert, you know noth
ing. Now, permit me to ask you where
is the most harm, in a visit by a stranger
to the moat w onderful and interesting of
all your institutions, or in the base, false,
dishonest, ungentletnanly, uncharitable
construction you have put upon it 1 Do
you think, sir, that ons of those children
would have had an impure or improper
thought connected with my visit if it Imd
not been put into their heads by yourself?
Believe me, sir, there is often more impu
rity in the mind of the critic than in the
object of his criticism. There ure men who
would stand before the Venus of Medici
and the ApollodfBolvidere, and see noth
ing in them but their nudity.—There are
men living like Paul the fourth, who would
object to the painting of the Last Judge
ment, ami throw bronze drapery over the
statue of Prudence, and like Michael An
gelo to the Pope, I might reply to you sir
‘•Reform the world, and these aspersions
will reform themselves.”
i ou think improper, Mr, for n titmsensc ]
to visit one of your public institutions! Did
your fellow citizens think it improper to
accept the cap-stone of the Hunker Hill
Monument from Fanny Ellsler ? Do von
think it improper lor your public institu
lions daily to receive willing contributions
from the hard eurned salary of artistes?—
Ifyou do, you might make it the subject
ofyour next poem fori am informed that
you are. or have been a poof, though 1 nev
er should have suspected it from so illib
eral, ungentletnanly and immoral construc
tions, Ifyou do not. pray do not open
your mouth again on the subject of the vis
it of an orti.st, to a public institution.
Withregsrdlomytalom.it would he
tnbecoming in me to speak—or quote—
jut to say that I Itave ever passed myself
n this country in any othei quality ilmti
hat of an artiite, is false, in the throat of
whoever may say it.
I had the offer made to tno when in Eu
rope, ofcntering America triumphantly.—
rriumpliUnt arches were offered to lie c
•ected for me on the pier, garlands to be
lung across my way. flowers spread over
ny track, and my carriage drawn to my
uitel by human hands, amidst showers of
louquets and vivas. All this I declined.
If there is anything that I thoroughly de
est, it is humbug. I even declined, on
irriving, the free use of the telegraph,
which was courteously tendered me by
:hegenllemanly proprietors; and in no case
lavu I made interest to buy the good opiu
ous of journals.
It bad cost me to return to trio singe
scalding tears, but I w as determined il l
succeeded ut a'!!, it should be legitimately
in the pursuit of my profession as an arLntt.
though I was ns well satisfied as the man
who made me the offer, that in refusing it
I w as sacrificing a great many dollars to
my principles. I had too much amour
projrrr, sir, to be shown up like a wooly
horse or a white negro; hirt it is a satisfac
tion to know that sftt is I who ttave suf
fered by it, it is the public winch lias gain
ed, and that instead of paying from SJ up
to a fabulous price for tickets, all who
desired it have had the satisfaction nfee
ing me fora much smaller sum, 1 wits'
counselled by several of my friends in
New York to purchase the esteem of those
whose minds had been influenced by the
I esuistical stories in circulation with regard
:o mb, hy giving the receipt of my first
night to public charities. The idea was
repugnant to me, and I refused doing so
,.ll the ecre of,the Huso of my engagements,
when I have invariably giyenithem « bon
rfit, when I,could obtain the permission of
the directors of the theatre.
I .speak of Jespisiical lies. I mentioned
:oa few friends, in Paris, my intention of
coming to America on an artistic tour_
Immediately all the journals,/rom Canada
to Mexico, Were flooded with corn muni
cations heaping upon Ale all the epithets
in the vocabulary of blackguards. It was
raid, also.,that I tamed wild horses, horse
whipped gendarmes, knocked flies with a
pistol ball off the bald heads of aldermen
fought duels, threw people overboard lor
the sake of saving them from drowning,
ind a multitude of other similur feats.—
Now, sir, do you see the sly, Jesuitical,
infamous design of all this? It was sim
ply to unsex me—to deprive me of that
high, noble, chivalrous protection, wbich
is so universally accorded to woman in this
country hy generous men.
Very well .ir; did they succeed? / have
been now four months In this country,
tnd my success, instead of diminishing,
tas increased, from the first moment up to
he present time. Americans are no fools,
lir; and. believe me, though they may be
mposed uponat first, they sooncoraeagain
,o their senses.
I finally arrived here in yo ir tri-moun
ain city, pleasantly associated by me with
py own adopted name, and winch 1 had
pore curiosity to see thau I ever had had
or the/ar famed city of the 7 hills. The
alter was the heathen mystic number,
tut the former was that of the Christian
rinity, and was connected id my mind
v I tit those noble, self sacrfiicirig, devoted
ncB, who were evert le objects of my ad

flarkrt For Vviittg Mouirju in
lliuignry.
Every year, at the feast oT St. Peter,
which comes on in the latter days of June,
the peasantry of this district (liifiUr) ate t
together at a certain place for the purpose
of a general fair. This luir has a very
peculiar interest for the young men and
the young maidens, for it is the*e that,
while purchasing household utensils and
family necessaries, they choose for them
selves partners, and conclude marriages.
The parents bring their marriageable
daughters, with each one her little dower
accompanying her, loaded up in a small
cart. Tins dower is, of course, propor
tionate to tlio lowly condition of these
mountaineers, some sheep, sometimes a
few hogs, or even chickens. These girls
are attired in their best, or wlmt pieces of
gold or silver they may possess are strung
upon a urine, and neatly uttacl el to the
braids of their hair.
i bus fitted out, every girl who d*stt«t
to find a husband betakes herself to (be
fair. She quits the house of her lather,
perhaps forever, end hidaher mother adieu,
quite ignorant of w hat roof is to shelter,
ur wlmt fate awaits her journeys end. As
to her fortune, it is in the little Curt that at
tend* her. The object of her journey >5
never mistaken; nobody Wonder* at it; nor
is there anv occasion for a public officer fo
nuke u record of the deed. On the other
hand, the youths who wish to procure
themselves v ives hasten to tho fair, Gray
ed in the very best skin gut memo their
chests contain. These sftviige-kiokiiig
chaps, who would be quite enough to
make our young ladies run and hide them -
selves, proceed w ith a good deal of inter,
ost and zeal to inspect the fair mountuiu
laSsea that are brought thither by fheir
fathers and their uncles, casting many
tide glances and w istful looks towards ihft
•upti vutmg merchandize,
lie gives hi* fancy a free rein, and
when he finds one that seems to claim hi*
|»r ference, he ut once addresses the par
ents, asks w hat they have glren her, and
inks what price they have set upon tho
‘lot,” so exposed for Sale—at the nani#
lime stating his own property and Blunti
ng. If the parent* ask loo much, these
gallant “hoys” make their own offer,
which, if it does not suit the other to tigrco
Lo, the fond lover passes to seek some 01147
rise.*
We may suppose that the proud young
men always keep a “top eye” open to tiiu
correspondence of loveliness upon the oil*
Land, and the size of the dower upon the
other. At lust he finds enft for whom h«»
is willing to give the price, and a load
clapping of the hand* together announce*
to the bystander# that the Lurguiu is com
pleted.
What a heavy blow ibis must be for
some lazy rival who haa not deciJed quiejk
e iough, who is halting niid considering
whether she will suit him, nnd whether
bite isa*lovely u«d aoctttnp'iiffhad in Jaou***
hold matters as some of the others. How
ever, the deed is done, and the bargain is
completed, and forthwith the young girj
—poor thing—proceeds also to clasp the
band of her future husband. What tt mo
ment of interest and anxiety to her. The
Jestinv of* hur life is sealed by this
rude clasp of the hand. In this act she **
much as said, “Yea, I will be yuurjp
Inc, and 1 consent to pnrtuku ofy<twJoy*
and your troubles, to follow you through
weal and through woes.”
The families of the betrothed pair then
surround them, offering their congratula*
cons, and ut once uiduout delay the priest,
who is on the g/ujund for tine occasion,
pronounces the nuptial Umeduuion. The
young w oman presses the parting hand 4»f
that family who have reared her, hut of
which she is no longer a purl—im>ui«nt the
car of her new husband, whom but a few
hours before she never ho much as knew,
and escorted by her dower is conducted
to the house henceforward to he her hum*.
The Hungarian GoVcrnmciU have long
tried, but in vain, to suppress these fairs
for young girls. Positive orders Jirflfo
been given that they should no Jtmgjjr
take place, but such is the force *f long
established custom, united to the necesvi
tie* of this pastoral race, that all such Or*
Jrrs have been disregarded. The fair
srtil 1 continue*, and every year such caval
cades ms we have described maybe seeu
Jescending into tfio plains of Kalinas*,
'here to barter off these precious jewels ot,
he household us though they were sense
less beeves or mere produce of the soil.—
