Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other oqually flagrant evil which it
May be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who 13rofess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the prell-
tninary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pfckford
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."

a dull but honest man. There is a fine old Gefgaan
story called' The Adventures of Reynard the Fox,'
in the illustrations of which animals of different
countries are represented in the attitudes and with
the expressions of men. The illustrations are very
good, and from the well-known fact that men often
resemble certain animals in a most curiousand unac-
countable manner, their effect is highly amusing.
It is particularly so, if you happen by any chance
to be minded by them of any particular person.
Now, must I suffer death if I say that I never
looked at these pictures withoUt thinking of Mr.
Seward and of Air. Sumner ?—and that I never
' hear the names of Mr. Seward or. of Mr. 'Sumner
without thinking of the picture of the-Fox and of
the picture of the Gander?'

What, indeed—when their want of sense and want

Lost money may be regained, lost armies may be
replaced out of our swarms of men, but who shall
give us back the time we have 'fooled away' before
the dirt heaps of Manassas? Expose • a cup
of clear water to the frost. Observe it, and
even when the cold begins to fill its trans-
parent substance with beautiful spicula of ice,
if you agitate the mass it will net immediately
freeze. But give it in that condition a very
short period of rest and it becomes a rock, hardly
yielding to the energies of gunpowder and fire ?
So have we found the South. They were once un-

have consolidated a hesitating into a hostile people.
Yet Mr. Gordon is a traitor if he calls a fool a fool!'

"A PICTURE OF A NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY.
" New England to-day is covered with societies,
in which the best of men and women conscientiously,
but reluctantly, and the worst of men and women,
eagerly, and with a devilish delight, perform the
part of spies and informers upon each other. To
say that such a gigantic system of mutual espionage
does not tend to degrade character is simply to say
that eavesdropping and tale-bearing are not low
and mean occupatiovs, Under its influence, nothing
is known of a man's real character or disposition.
Habitual watchfulness upon the one side awakens
habitual hypocrisy on the other. And it is only
when the little saint of Boston expands into the
gigantic villain of New Orleans or San Francisco
that you can tell how vast a benefit you derived from
his emigration. The wickedness looked little here,
because we saw but little of it. The enormous pres-
sure of universal listening and peeping had driven
it deep into the innermost fibres of our society. So
pressed, it produces Smelling Committees—it elects
Hiss Legislatures; it brings such men as Deacon
Palmer to associate, out of fear, with men like
Mr. Washburn, whom they receive into their
cellars, and dismiss through back doors. Nobody
will deny the fact, or its application here, who is
not prepared to deny the existence of the Rev. Mr.
Kalloch or his church member, Mr. Hayes, who
peeked after him, and black mailed him and then
exposed him. It is Mr. Hayes's turn to-day. It
may be Mr. Kalloch's turn to-morrow. It is Mr.
Washburn's now. It may be the Gordons' turn by
and by. Bat be the turn whose it may, the system
of a barbarous age and people applied to the con-
trol of a civilised mankind awakens the fiercest re-
sentment. Men have put up with the savagest
taskmasters. They have endured the bloodiest
tyrants without resistance for many years. They
have submitted to the Kings of Prussia, to the Czars,
to the House of Austria, and even to the Turks.
But a government of meddling philanthropists they
cannot bear. It resembles the government of ver-
min more than any human despotism—individually
vile and odious, but quite insignificant ; when col-
lected, they they are all-pervading, all-devouring,
appalling, loathsome to every sense, and intoler-
able to the strongest body and the firmest mind!"
