Now, reader, SELF-ABUSE, VENEREAL DISELSES

badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all capable of pro

durcng a weakness of the generative eorprs. The organs of

generation, when in perfect heath, make the man. Did yoe

ever think that those bold, defiant, energeti, persevering,

mereesful bot oees men are always those whoM generative

organs are In terfect health? You neer heir seach men iI

complain of being melancholy, of nervousness, of palpitation oh

of the heart. They are never afraid they cannot succeed in Li

business; they don't become sad and diseeoraged; they are

always polite and pleasant In the company of ladies, and look of

?r u and thonm ril.t In the face-none of your downcast looksl

or asy other mranerres at out them. I do not mean thlooe fa

wto keep the oryare Inflamed by ranning to excess. These

will not only ru n their eonstbtutions, but also those 1tey do Lt'i

business with or for. i

Now many noen frum badly-cared d.seuses, rom tl.e

efects of selhabuse and excesses, have brought hboal that 0I

state of weakt.eas in those organs that has reduced the gen-

oral system so muh, as to Induce almot evrery other disease- -

Idiocy, Innacy, paralysis, spinal affections, su cide and almost

evrry other form of disease wh clh bumaulty is heir to, and Cithe real canse of the trouble scarcely ever suspected, and

lthave doctired for all buh the right one.

Diseases of these organs require the use of a Disretie.

Tie GA; WELL.-Casting aside one or two inlingerit g suspiuions that the recent excitement leconcerning the discovery of a jet of gas emana. toting from the bowels of the earth might be what reis in popular to rme called " a sell," we yesterday thvisited the premises of Messrs. Knight & Co., No. he1;2 G;ravier street. between St. Charles and atCarondelet, and found that, far from being a nehotax, the story had originated in a most interest.ing and curious reality. fa

Passing through the main building, and enter- siting a small paved court-yard, some fifteen feet dasquare, one sees an iron pipe an inch and a quar-ter in diameter, standing some five or six feet in atheight, surnionnted by a gas burner. connectedwilh a meter cloie iv. and iarking into the earth onthrough atretvice between the flag satones. A steadystream flows from the pipe through the burners, poand, upon the alpilcation of a lighted mat:h, ongives a flame about one-half that of an ordinary oflgaslight turned on at its full force. Upon ex Catiwgu:-hing the flame and allowing the gas toescape, a strange, earthy odor. not an on- wipeuasant one, is perceptible to the olfactories. le:'The beat generated by the flame is a powerfulone. at

The circumstances under which the discovery cawas made are rather curious and interesting. da

On Saturday morning Mr. Knight commencedsinking the tubhe in question, with a view, he inkstates, to obtain a constant supply of pare water prupon his premises. In the first place an iron borer,in the shape of a blunt cone, was driven into the o'soil, point downward, of course. Upward from thithe base of the cone extends a tube of the diam. wi, ter abcve stated; perforated in numerous places.Inside of this tube is another one similarly per- letforated, but surrounded by a fine copper gauze mifor filtering purposes. To the upper end of thecuter tube, a pressure is applied by blows from a letsledge sinking the borer to the required depth, lIeearryirg after it as it goes successive lengths of ofltbe which are screwed and soldered on fromtime to time, as each preceding one reaches the tielevel of the surface. hr

Mr. Emiil.t, ao-isted hv a colored man, worked loso aes.duuusly all day on Saturd ty that by night- diefall the btier had attained a depth of lorty-onetret. BD ing interested in the progress of his hiewvrk, Le I r,,pored to co.itinue his abors to a later torhaur, aLd wS goiting on with another length of watite, when soddenly the colored man spoke, say- tiing that he i:,i,',d a i-trios odor escaping from ontie tol lc. Mr. Knight apjlied a lighted candle,ard to lhis surprse, a flame was ignited. Unwil nit'ig that the strstge occurrence should be thiscreditcd ticr la k ( t wtneses, lie hurried off tothe rnts of two friends, who lived in the sadjoin-img buildig, ov, r Cas;lys, Ibut tolundil that they terhad gone to the mass meetig at the St. ChIrle iTheater.
