rivirl-IE NEW YEAR.—A NEW YEAR !
A NEW YEAR !—How joyous are the feelings ! how
relelightful the scenes connected with the return of this season !
Now the Christian can tell of past mercies still continued, former
privileges again renewed, and fondly anticipated enjoyments rea-
lized. Once more the social circle is complete; time and distance
have for a while divided those who are one in blood, and in one
heart, but now they meet, surround the parental table, bow at the
family altar, and again enter together the favoured sanctuary, ea-
deared by the recollection of light, peace, and joy, received therein.
Christian Brethren, is it thus with you ? Then bless God for
his distinguishing grace. But think of those who, like you, once
shared in these social enjoyments, but have now become, through
treachery, " the most forlorn of human beings." They had a
home, they possessed holy privileges, they were once the ornament
and delight of their respective circles. But where are they now ?
Not of the family party, not at family worship, not in the family
pew. No, their places are vacant ! The cheek of the brother,
once lighted with joy, is now crimsoned with ;Immo ; the eye of
the sister, once glistening with delight, is now filled with tears at
the very mention of their name. And where are they now ?
There ! on that cold stone, amidst that driving sleet, without food,
without home and without hope ! And shall they continue there ?
They would return to their friends, but the door is closed against
them ; they woul.clreturn to society, but society despises them ; they
have no choice but to sin or starve, or rush unbidden into the pre-
sence of their Maker ! Which shall they do ? We trust you are
prepared to say " Neither !" and by your generous offering assist
the LoNr)ox FEMALE MISSION in their efforts to provide
asylums for the fallen, and to guard the unprotected but virtuous
female f•com the dangers to which in the metropolis she is exposed.
Subscriptions and donations in aid of the :Mission will be grate-
fully received by Gurney Hoare, Esq., Treasurer, 62, Lombard-
street; Mr. Hitchcock, Sub-Treasurer, 116, Regent-street ; Mr.
Groser, at the office of the Society, 20, Red Lion-Square, Hol-

OR the greatest ameliorations of civilized life, We
F are indebted to the modern division of attention and labour
in the various pursuits of society, and in none have its benefits been so
Manifest as in the healing art. Early convinced of this great truth,
MESSRS. GOSS and Co., Members of the Itoval College of Surgeons in
Imndoo have for twenty.five years confined their attention to ti.e suc-
cessful treatment of a few prevalent complaints, viz., the general and
local debilities of both the sexes, whether arising from the solitary in-
dulgence which a too highly inflamed imagination brings like a de.troying
fiend over the constitution the mind, and the affections of youth ; or from
a long residence in hot climates, excessive drinking, or any other baneful
indulgence; and fr,ni their daily experience they can with confidence
°fret a restoration of the debilitated to vigorous health. Married females
of a pure and affectionate disposition, whose " fondest hope" has been
painfully deferred, may learn with consolation that perseveranc in a
Proper remedial course, will renovate general health, and remove hidden
impediments to maternal happiness.
An insid.ous disorder, however inveterate, as also Gonorrhoea, Glect,
and Stricture, may be removed without material restraint in diet or
exercise.
MESSRS. GOSS and Co. are to be consulte I every day at their resi-
dence ; and Patients in the remotest parts of the country can be treated
successfully on transmitting their report, which will be Immediately an-
swered ; their letters must minutely describe the case, and contain a
re
rnittai!ec for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any
part of the world, however distant. No difficulty can occur, as the Medi-
cines wil' be securely packed, and carefully protected from observation.
