CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS.

ON all hands arrangements are making to
celebrate the anniversary of Christmas. To create novelty
for a festivity so ancient requires some degree of ingenuity, and to
introduce fresh sources of comfort and enjoyment claims more than
ordinary talent. For a great number of years novelties in Dress
have been an important item in Christmas preparations. What,
then, must be the amount of skill possessed by those artists chose
introductions are new on each recurrence of this festivity? It is those
only whose success has long been the admiration of all classes, and
whose seasonable productions have gained lasting celebrity, who can
provide articles of ATTIRE worthy of universal patronage. The
DRESS prepared for Christmas by E. MOSES and SON embraces
variety, surpassing all attempts at imitation, and exhibits novelties
which only the first Tailoring Establishments in the universe can
device. To maintain this distinction, E. MOSES and SON'S Christ-
mas Preparations present ATTIRE for ADULTS and JUVENILES
in the widest range of taste, the nucleus of their most celebrated
styles, DRESS for Ckristmas parties, the most splendid materials
and the neatest workmanship. OVERCOATS and WATERPROOF
CLOTHING in the most gentlemanly and comfortable styles.
HATS, CAPS, and HOSIERY, unequalled for qualily and beauty,
and all Goods charged considerably lower prices than at any
other house.
N.H.—Christmas eve being Friday, E. MOSES and SON'S Esta-
blishments will be closed at half-past four o'clock.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first

time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if ho shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
Power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. May 30, 1851.

" We promised in a former number that we should -recur to this
work, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great sevetity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
en the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who salter from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money... ...This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, Juno 16, 1852.

* The rates here selected are those adopted by the English and
Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low
rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and miaing classes.
In most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish
Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. Ita the

THREE times as much as on tile ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event
of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property,

amount of his policy he can do so at pleasure. lie can, at any time,
by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11. up to the
whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he
has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three
years, or any time afterwards, raise his policy to a greater or even
its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate
his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the
bargain of having a fund to fly to in ease of necessity, the same as
in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets We-
rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than
the amount of his savings. In arm
-nary Life Offices be can do no
such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment
he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any
fund to fly to for aid, all his hard-earned sayings become forfeited to
the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the
pockets of his
more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked
and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be
universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar
tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It
confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate
of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the
hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in
case of death, thus combining the
ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF
AN ASSURANCE COMPANY.
In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DErosyr
system are still more striking.
