THE BOYS. Ws ied
m eT BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
« St
Has there old fellow mixed with the boys? If there in, tone him out, without mwking a noise ! the Almanac’s cheat and the Catalogue’s spite ! me isa liar! We're twenty to-night !
We're twenty! We're twenty ! Who says we are more?
He’s tipsey—young jackanapes !—show him the door !—
Qday Vorepiee at twenty 1—Yes ! while, if we please ;
Where the = flakes fall thickest, there’s nothing can
freeze
Was ft snow I spoke of? Excuse the mistake!
Hook close—you will see not a sign of a flake ;
‘We want some new garlands for those we have shed—
And these are white roses in place of the red!
Woe’ve a trick, we young fellows, you may have been told,
Of talking (in public) as if we were old ;—
That boy we call ‘‘Doctor,”’ and this we eall ‘(Judge ;”
It’s a néat little fietion—of course it’s all fudge.
That fellow’s the “Speaker’’—the one on the right;
‘“$fr. Mayor,’ my young one how are you to-night?
t’s our ‘“Member of 2 we say when we chaff;
There’s the “Reverend.” What’s his name ?—don’t make
me laugh!
{ boy with the grave mathematieal look
ude believe he had written a wonderful book,
nd the Royal Academy thought it was true!
So they chose him right in; a good joke it was, too!
There's a boy—we pretend—with a three-decker brain,
That could harness a team with a logical chain ;
When he spoke for our manhood in syllabled fire,
We called him the ‘‘Justice’’—but now he’s ‘The Squire.”
And there’s a nice youngster of excellent pith—
Fate tried to conceal bim by naming him Smith—
But he shouted a song for the brave and the free—
Just read on his medal—'‘My country’’—‘‘of thee !"’
You hear that boy laughing ?—You think he’s all fun—
But the angels laugh, too, at the; he has done ;
The children laugh loud as they troop to his call,
And the poor man that knows him laughs loudest of all!

Another Cure of Scrofula.
Troy, N. Y., Sept. 1, 1854,
Messrs, A. B. & D. Sanps: Gentlemen,—I have for
nearly three years been troubled with that dreadful disexse, Serofula; so much so, as to be offensive to my husband and to myself; and to obtain relief have tried every
kind of medicine that came under my notice, without
effect. One of my neighbors, who had been cured of a
similar complaint by your Sarsaparilla, advised me to
a law full of provisions, has become necessary;
therefore,
Resolved, That the Committee on Geological
Survey, on account of the logical necessity
hereby presented, be instructed to inquire into
the expedieney of abolishing the office of State
Geologist, and providing by law that said Circuit Judges shall hereafter, during their travels
on their respective Circuits, be required to fill
their saddle-bags, kets, &c., full of rocks,
sub-soils, &c,, and, biennially hereafter deposit
the same in the streets of Springfield, or some
other proper and convenient place, and that
they be paid for such service out of any or
in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated.
Provided, forever, that the two-mill constitu.
tional tax shall remain undisturbed.
Wasuina wis Face.—The King of Prussia has
not been much improved by the “skies of Italy,”
if we may credit the following account from a
Florence correspondent, of his eccentric behavior at the dinner table ;
“The royal patient was perfectly sane all
day, received his guests, chatted, laughed and
was quite jolly; the dinner was announced, the
company marched in, the King of course took
his place at the head of the table, and everybody waited for bim te ses the example to put
their spoons in their moutas, But instead of
doing what was expected him, his Majesty deliberately washed his face in the soup, and then
sat complacently smiling on his friends, the
long string of vermicelli hanging down over
his eyes and nose, and in his hair and moustache. You may imagine the effect; no one
dared to laugh, however, and they had to sit
out the dioner with this ridiculous figure-head,
covered with gravy, (for he sternly refused
towels,) talking to them all the while.
Seirisa Weatta.—The punishments for not
using or for badly using wealth are decided
and unerring. We py the miser, or despise
him, or we do both. We do not respect him.
The man who hoards has the respect of no man
while he lives, and the tears of rone when he
dies. There isin the universal human heart a
tribunal by which such a man is justly judged.
On the other hand, the compensations for the
right use of wealth are marked and certain. A
man who livestin the atmosphere of grateful
hearts, and takes genuine satisfaction in the
use of his power to make them happy, and ministers to the prosperity of greathuman interests, is the only happy rich man the world ever
saw. All men bless him; all men love him;
and when he dies the world feels that a great
grief has befallen it.—Springfield Republican.
Necro Eqvarity.—In twenty-four of the
thirty-two 5) negroes are allowed no political privileges whatever that place them on an
equality with the white race. Eleven of these
twenty-four States are free, New York practically excluds them by a freehold qualification
and a long resdence before voting. Two more
States—Maine and Riode Island—exclude them
by requiring all voters to be citizens of the
nited States. Massachusetts and New Hampshire are about the only States that make no
distinction of eolor or race, and there they are
not allowed to serve in the militia.

DR. CEAPMAN,
Son of the Celebrated Professor Chapman, late of the
University, Pennsylvania, has opened a
Medical and Surgical Institute,
In the City of SAN FRANCISCO, at the South East corner
DUPONT AND JACKSON STREETS,
For the radical and permanent cure ofall Private and
Chronic diseases. All consultations by letter or otherwise
FREE.
R. CHAPMAN, is daily in the habit of relieving,
at his office those unfortunate enough to be affiicted
with any of the forms of private diseases, such as Syphilis
Gonorrhea, Nocturnal Emissions, and all the consequences of Self-abuse. In the first stages of Syphilitie er Gonorrheeal diseases, he guarantees a cure in a few days, without inconvenience to patient or hindrance to his business,
When a patient, by neglect or improper treatment, has
developed the secondary symptoms of Syphilis, such as buboes or paiufal swellings in’ the greins, or ulcers in the
throat or nose, which if not checked, destroy the soft parts
and cause the bones to mortify, separate and come away,
leaving the sufferer an object hideous to behold ; or when
blotches and pimples break out upon the skin, or when he
has painful swellings upon the bones, or when his constitution is injured s0as to predispose to consumption or
constitutional disease, the Doctor guarantees a cure or
asks no eonrpensation,
In RHEUMATISM, chronic or acate; in DYSENTERY or
DIARRHEA, he has sefe and elfeetual remedies. For the
treatment of the consequences of self-abuse, such as nocturnal emissions, nervousness, timidity, headache, pain in
the back and limbs, with general weakness, loss of memory injury to the sight, restlessness, confusion of ideas,
dislike of soeiety, and a fecling of weariness of life; with
the nervous system so excitable that slight noises shock
or startle the patient, making his existence miserable,
For the above maladies the Doctor will guarantee a cure
orask no comdensation. He can be consulted free of
charge, atid invites all to call, as it will cost them nothing
and be much to their advantage. Offfce hoursfrom 9 a,
Mm. to9 P. M.
Syphilis and Gonorrhea.—Dr. Chapman’s extraordinary
success in the treatment of Syphilitic and Gonorrheeal diseases in the primary and other stages, induces him to
call public attention to the fact that of the great numbers
who have made daily application to him, there is not one
who las not been effectually ad permanently cured. In
recent cases of Syphilis or Gonorrhea, the Dr. guarantees
a perfect cure in a few days without hindrance to business
or other inconvenience. The Doctor’s method of treatment of these maladies, combines the improvements made
by the medical faculty, with discoveries of his own that
are unknown te any one else, and which, when applied,
prevent the possibility of evil after consequences.
Secondary Syphilis, whichis so destructive of health,
producing uicerations of the throat, destroying the soft
parts, and leaving the bones exposed, which mortify, separate and come away distiguring the patients face most
horribly, as well as inipairing his general health, and predisposing to consumption, the Dr. treats in the most certain and efficient manner. Also Buboes, painful swellings
upon the bones, disfiguring Blotches on the skin, sores
pimples, and allother consequences of Syphilitic or Gonorrhoeal diseases, he guarantees a cure, or asks no compensation.
The Dr. would especially call the attention of those who
have failed to obtain reliet fromothers, many of whom he
has alréady cured, and many are still! under treatment.
The Dr. makes no charge for consultation, and inyites all
to call at his Institute, and he willgive them such satispigeon they se — gig else. Those at adistance

(OVER WELLS, FARGO & C)’ EXPRESS OFFICR,)
EAD AND REFLECT
Is there a hereafter,
(And that there is conscience uninfluenced,
And suffered to speak out, tells every man, )
Then it is an awful thing to die,
More horrid yet to die by one’s ewn hand.
Self-murderer—name it not ! ’
Shall Nature, swerving from her earliest dictate,
Self-preservation, fall by its own act?
Forbid it Heaven.
The indulgence in secret practices is the most certain,
though not always the most immediate and direct avenue
to destruction. Physicians of allages have been most
unanimously of opinion that the loss of one ounce of the
seminal secretions, by unnatural aid or emissions, weakens the system more than the abstraction of forty ounces
of blood. One of the first writers on medical jurisprudence
state that three fourths of the insane owe their malady to
such abuse,
How important then, it is—for every one, having the
least cause to suspect any trouble in that way, to attend
to it immediately; even one single occurrence should be
sufficient to cause doubt, and much more so if the person
had ever indulged inthe soul-killing habit. The treatwent used by the justly celebrated DR. J. C. YOUNG, in
cases of seminal weakness, impotency, sterility, nervous
debility and paralysis, (the last is the most dangerous and
when it once occurs, incurable,) is not surpassed by any
physician in the country. It is the same as that follow ed
by him for years, under the guidance of the world-renowned Record of Paris, and Acton of London. Dr. Young’s office is at the corner of Montgomery and California streets,
where he can be consulted on that and all other private diseases, with the utmost confidence and secrecy. Dr.
Young will warrant a perfectand permanent cure, or make
no charges.
N. B.—Letters enclosing $10 will receive prompt attention, The Doctor’s time being so much taken up that he
cannot attend to letters unless paid for it.
CARD FROM DR. J.C. YOUNG’S Private
Medical Office—To the Afllicted—In this age of proprogress when science is almost miraculous, everything in
common place is looked upon as not worth notice. In view
of this fact, Dr. Young, (corner of Montgomery and California streets, up stairs,) has concluded to leave the beaten track hitherto pursued by most scientific physicians,
(that of waiting for the public to fnd you alone,) and publish to the world as much as may be, his knowledge ot
the healing art, to let those are in need of assistance know
where they can find relief without being imposed upon,
In continuation of this subject, Dr. Young would say,
that for the past ten yesrs he has pursued the practice of
medicine in one of the largest cities in the United States,
with the highest success, and that his standing as a physician is without reproach, having at one time been a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania on venreal diseases,
Upon these considerations, Dr, Young has confidence in
introducing himself to the public, knowing that they will
sustain well earned merit.
The following are a few of the many testimonials which
haveappeared in the public journals within the last few
years:
[From the Boston Medical Journal.]
Although we are opposed to the system of advertising,
for good and sufficient reasons, still we deem it but justice
to kay that Dr, Young is one of the most industrious and
indefatiguable votaries of medical science in the United
States.
[From Professor Jackson. ]
The subseriber is personally acquainted with Dr. Youug,
and has seen much of his practice, and can bear testimony
to his merits as a practitioner.
[From the New York Herald.]
The eminence of this distinguished gentleman in hia profession, and the very extended opportunities possessed by
him for the observation of venereal disease, makes services
invaluable to those afflicted with the above complaints,
[From the Whig and Advertiser.}
All afflicted with private complaints should if possible,
consult Dr. Young, whose medical education is not surpassed by any Physician in the Country. In his skill, honor and integrity, all may rely with safety, while most of
the medical practitioners in this city are without honesty
or respectability, their pretensions being grounded in ignorauce and assumption.
Important to Miners, Travelers, &c.
here is no malady of deeper importance, either ina
medical or moral point of view, to which the human
family is more liable, than that arising from impure connections.
Asa medical man itis the duty of every physician to
look at disease as it affects health and life, and his sole object should be to mitigate, as far as lies in his power, the
bodily suffering. Human nature at best is but frail, all
are liable to misfortune.
Of all the ills that affect man, none are more terrible
than those ofa private nature. Dreadful as itis in the
person who contracts it, frightful as are its ravages upon
his constitution, ending frequently in destruction anda
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater importance
when it is transmitted to to innocent offspring. Such being the case, how necessary it becomes that every one haying the least reason to fear that every one having the least
reason to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once by consulting some physician
whose respectability and education enables him to warrant
a safe, speedy, and permanent cure. In accordance with
this necessity, DR. YOUNG feels called upon to state that
by long study and extensive practice, he has become perfect master of all these diseases which come under the denomination of venereal, and having paid more attention to
that one branch than any other physician in the United
States, he feels himself better qualified to treat them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Ulcers, Swelling in the
Groins, Ulcers in the Throat, Secondary Syphilis, Cutaneous Eruptions, Uleerations, Tetuary Syphilis, Syphilis in
Children, Mercurial Syphilitie Affections, Gonorhea, Gleet,
Strictures, False Passages, Inflamation of the Bladder and
Prostrate Glands, Excoriations, Tumors, Postulea, &e., are
as familiar to him as the most common things of daily observation,
The Doctor effects a cure in recent cases in a few days,
and finds no difficulty in curing those of a long duration,
without submitting the patient to such treatment as will
draw upon him the slightest suspicion, or oblige him to
neglect his business whether within doors or without.—
The diet need not be changed except in cases of severe inflamation. There are in California patients (amounting to
over two thousand iu the past year) that could furnish
proot of this; bat these are matters that require the nicest
secrecy which he always preserves,
AN letters enclosing $10, will be promtly attended to.—

MPORTANT TO FEMALES.—WHEN A
female is in trouble or affiicted with disease, and requires medical or surgical aid, the inquiry should be where
is there a physician who is fully competent to administer
relief, one whose knowledge of the female system is perfect,
and who thoroughly understands the application of medicine to disease, and whose scientific attainments in surgery have made him pre-emineatin bis profession, and
whose respectable standing in society, recommends him
to the contidence of the community. Unless these, and
many more questions can be satistactorily answered, the
afflicted should pause before consulting any one. Considering these things in their true light, the celebrated J. C,
YOUNG, corner of Montgomery and California streets, has
concluded to advertise his place of business to the public,
stating that he has been a professor of obstetrics and female diseases for the last fourteen years, and is fully qualified to administer in all diseases, both medically and surgically, not in a superficial manner, but in as thorough a
manner as years of study and practice—both in hospitals
and private families, can make : therefore, families can
rely upon him as a father. All in afftiction can findin him
one whe can sympathize with, and befriend them in trouble, one in whose secrecy the utmost confidence can be
placed. Come all ye that are affticted and in trouble, and
you will be relieved or cured. Apartments privately ararranged so as to preclude the possibility of exposure.
N. B.—All letters inclosing $10 will receive prompt attention, and the best advice and instruction.

ONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY, OR SEMInal weakness—Dr, J, C. YOUNG addresses those who
have injured themselves by private and improper indulgences in that secret and solitary habit, which ruins the body
and mind, unfitting them for either business or seciety.
The following are some of the sad and melancholy effects
produced by the early habit of youth, viz : Weakness of
the back and limbs, pain im the lead, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritability, symptoms of consumption Xe.
MENTALLY, the fearful effects on the mind are more to
be dreaded. Loss of memory, confusion of ideas, depressjon of spirits, evil fovebodings, aversion of society, selfdistrust, love of solitude, timidity, &c., are some of the
evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of the above symptoms shonld not fuil to callon Dr. Young and be at once
restored to perfect health. Let no false delicacy prevent
you, but apply immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequerees of this terrible malady.—
Weakness of the organs immeeiately cured, and full vigor
restored.
DR. J. C. YOUNG,
Corner of California and Montgomery sts. up stairs.
AVE CONFIDENCE.—Dr. YOUNG will
guarantee a perfect and permanent cure in the following cases, or charge-nething for hisservices: Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Strietures of the Uretha, affection of the Prostrate
Gland, Weakness of the Genital Organs, Impotency, Sterility, both in male and female, Spermatoria, or Seminal
Weakness, Nocturnal Emissions, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Fever and Ague, Incipient Consumption, and
all irregularities in females; together with all diseases of
Women and Children; also Nervousness, Palpitation of the
Heart, &e., Ke.
Persons affected with symptoms after being treated
should consult Dr. Young at once, as no disease is cured
unless the patient feels perfectly well. If there is a particle of disease left in the system, it will break out at some
future time, when least expected, or be handed down to
the ivnocent offspring. Persons who have been treated
with mercury should be very cautious in believing that
are well, for it is a scientific fact that the mereury
will mingle with the venereal, and forma disease a great
deal worse than the original. Allthose who have reason
to think, by bad feelings, that they haye thus been treated
should consult Dr. Youne, and he willexamime their cases
and tell them at gnee how they stand,

MOUNT VERNON ASSOCIATION,
10 THE
People of the State of California.
recent appointment by Miss Ann Pamela Cunningham, Regent of the “Mount Vernon Ladies’ Astociation of the Union,’’ has devolved on the undersigned,
the duty and the privilege of placing before the people of
this State, the purposes of the Association,
An Act of Incorporation from the State of Virginia authorizes the Association ‘to purchase, hold and inyprove
two hundred acres »f Mount Vernon, including the mansion as well as the tomb of George Washington,” and to
receive a deed in fee simple, and to exercise full power
over the use and management of the same.
Under this charter, a constitution has been adopted,
which vests the power of management in a Regent and
Vice Regents, selected one from each State ef the Union,
In April, 1858, under the advice of legal gentlemen, a
contract was executed for the purchase of Mount Vernon
for $200,000, of which $18,000 was to be paid cash, $57,000
on the Ist January, 1859, and the balance in three equal
instalments of $41,666 66 each, with interest from the
date of the contract, payable on 22d February, 1868,
1861, 1862.
Until payment in full, the proprietor is to retain possession, but such payment may be made at any time.
The cash payment was made, and the gratifying intelligence has lately reached us that the instalinent of $57,000
was duly met ; thus securing the contract, which allows
payments to be made, in sums not less than $5,000, as
soon as collected, thereby arresting the accrual of interest.
All efforts, therefore, are now turned to the collection of
funds for the payment of the deferred instalments at the
earliest possible day, thereby saving a large amount of
interest, and realizing the cherished hope of at onee obtaining possession of Mount Vernon. 4
To this noble cause, the Women of the Union, deserting
for a season the seclusion of domestic life, haye brought
their talents and all their energies. Amidst the discord of
sectional strife, they bid us gather around the tomb of
Washington as children of a common heritage, there recall his moderation of spirit and pure patriotism, and lay
to heart the solemn warnings of his last public words.
They know, that standing on that hallowed spot, the pil
grims gathered from the wide expanse of the Republic,
can feel but one sentiment—reverence for his teachings,
and deyotion to the Union he so loved. .
Men of high station and intelect—among whom Everett
stands pre-eminent—are lending their influence and their
eloquence to the cause. In twenty-one States of the
Union, the good work goes bravely on, and California
now invited to do her part. Youngest of her sisters, she
yields to none in reverence for the name of Washington
and devotion to the Union, Animated then by these seatiments and by a just State pride, let her people bring
their offerings to this common altar of patriotism. Shall
the gold of her glittering soil be poured alone into the lap
of Commerce, and none be devoted to preserve and guard
with sacred care the Groves of Mount Vernon? let al
then vie in generous rivalry, to show that California lacks
not the heart to sympathize, nor the hand to help in this
work of patriotism. :
To the Women of California, this appeal is expecially
made, Your Sisters of the East have assumed this honorable duty and claim your zealous co-opération. Our
State will do her part liberally, if you resolutely take the
matter in hand. On you, therefore, will it depend wh
er she shall respond to the call. 7 ft
Although contributions to any amount are solicited. ¥#

ip ie action, therefore, must be adopted to ¢
