AS Manhood approaches, the human form, coun-
tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, ra-
pidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end anti sum of life, creating
image after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of
society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob.
structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course
of wild anti injurious indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully
harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state
relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the
ignorant ; in either case at the expense of heaLli, that being only
palliated which should have been eflectually cured. Here we propose
to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the
pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge
ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison. end to restore
to it: wonted energy every 'relaxation of the generative economy,
whether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood
shall have become Impaired; equally contemning unfeeling gimpy.

The Policies are Indefeasible and Indisputable, unless they
have been obtained by fraudulent misrepresentations.
Any important mistake, or even an unintentional omission,
in communicating information, in answer to the numerous
questions put by other Companies, has the effect of annulling
the policy, and forfeiting tha premiums—thus rendering it in
general a matter of uncertainty (until the claim comes to be
made) whether the policy be of any value. The London,
Edinburgh, and Dublin Assurance Company, determined to
obviate whas they consider injustice to the assured, satisfy
themselves upon the various questions proposed by them before
they enter into the contract of assurance, and frame their po
licies in such terms as to preclude all future questions as to
their validity, and thus render them indefeasible and indisput-
able documents of future debt against the Company. The po-
licies of this Company may, therefore, be regarded as certain
available future funds, and as unimpeachable and negotiable
documents for pecuniary transactions.
One-half of the Premiums may remain Unpaid for Seven
Years, affording a greater facility for Loan Transactions and
Family Provisions than any other plan which has been sug-
gested—allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the
usual sacrifice—and entitling the Assured at a future period,
when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a New
A•snranee, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the
sum for which he has paid Premiums.
Parties may lie assured either upon the participating or non-
participating plan ; the former are entitled to the whole of the
profits upon that branch of the business, and the latter are as-
sured for the lowest premiums compatible with perfect security.
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors and 'Agents,
and Medical Gentlemen are in all cases remunerated Ea- their
reports.

SCHWEPPE'S SODA and POTASS WA-
TERS, corstantly used at the Royal Palaces at Wind-
sor and London, as well as by all the principal Nobility and
Gentry of the United Kingdom, continue to be manufactured
with the utmost care by J. S. and Co., aided by their power-
ful machinery, and the valuable experience of half a century.
Every bottle has its due proportion of Alkali, which is rarely,
if ever, the case with the inferior waters. To prevent impo-
sition, a red label, with their signature, is fixed on the cork,
without which none is genuine.
SCHWEPPE'S LIQUID MAGNESIA, to supersede the
use of Magnesia in its solid form, is attaining a high reputa-
tion, and is generally recommended by the Faculty as a most
nimble anti-acid.

CLERICAL INTOLERANCE.
We have no reason to believe that one particle of
the proceedings, as detailed by us last week, are " co-
loured." They are narrated exactly as they occurred,
for the case is one of those in which the truth is more
powerful than fiction. No strong language, which it is
in our power to use, could add to the disgust which all
good men must feel, whatever their religious opinions,
at the conduct of the Rev. Dudley Ryder, which con-
duct was countenanced by the Archbishop of York, and
who therefore shares the disgrace of the unchristian and
intolerant act. We cannot certainly but lament that
the hitherto venerated name of Wilbeforce should now
be associated, as it unfortunately is, with religious ty-
ranny and persecution—that the memory of the man,
whose name will ever be associated with the emancipa-
tion of the slave, is sullied by his degenerate sons, who
labour to impose on the mind of their fellow-man the
shackles of a narrow and exclusive religious system.
Samuel Wilberforce exerted the energies of a noble
heart in freeing his fellow-men from bodily thraldom ;
his sons disgrace his name and damage his reputation by
striving with a bigot zeal to enslave the minds of their
countrymen—by attempting to impose on them, through
the power conferred by the British Inquisition—the
Ecclesiastical Courts—the religious opinions and prac-
tices of a sect only, not morally or legally binding on
those who disbelieve them. We spoke last week of
the inconsistency—to use the mildest word—of a por-
tion of the Winchester Dissenters, who support, at the
elections for this city, the avowed friend and virtual
nominee of the ,Duke of Buckingham, whose indirect
persecution of their brethren in the villages of Avington
and Eaton we have before stated. It is always with
the deepest feelings of shame at the baseness of human
nature that we witness the support of Tory candidates
by Dissenters or Catholics. It is such a combination of,
folly and ingratitude that it appears almost inconceivable
any temporary pecuniary benefit can induce it—nothing
can warrant it. When we recollect that for many a
long year the Catholic and Dissenter were trampled
under the iron hoof of a Tory despotism, and that
it is alone owing to the exertions of the Whigs and
Liberals, continued through a long course of time,
in spite of defeats and opposing obstacles, tlsatathey
were at last raised in the social scale to an equality
with their fellovv•countrymen. When we reflect that
to a Liberal Government they owe the possession of
their political and religious rights—every thing which
distinguishes the free man from the slave—we cannot
but feel disgust at a debasing hamilation, which licks
the hand that smote it, by supporting the party who
do not now rule them with a rod of iron only because
it has not the power—the will is apparent on too many
occasions. We trust the conduct of the Rev. Dudley
Ryder, of the Rev. R. J. Wilberforce. and 'the con-
duct of the Duke of Buckingham, implicated by that
of those who dispense his bounty to the poor of Aving-
ton and Easton, will not be forgotten by the Dissenters
of Winchester at the next election. They now know
the opinion entertained of them by their Tory perse-
cutors, and what they have to hope from their liberality
if their power was uncontrolled. " Who is not for us
is against us," appears to be the motto of the Ryder,
W.lberforce, and Buckingham school of Toryism, and
we recommend the Dissenters of Winchester to en-
grave the same sentence on their banner at the next
election. Surely in this ease they are justified in
adopting the maxim " Fas est et ab hoste doceri."—

THE ATTACHMENT OF BIRDS TO MAN.—A
curate in the county of Kildare, in Ireland, some time
ago, related the following anecdote of his neighbour, a
worthy, good sort of a man, who carried on the ecotone
printing business, end who, aLhough once in very pros-
perous eircern,tances, Lecame after, in consequence of a
change in the times, very poor In his mill-yard was a
gander, which had been there forty years; he was the finest
and the largest bird of his kind I ever saw," said the cu-
rate, •' his watchfu'ncss was excessive ; no dog could
equal him in vigilance, or be more fierce in attacking
strangers and beggars ; he followed his old master a her-
ever he went, and, at his command, would fly at any man or
beast, and, with his bill, wings, and feet, he could hurt se-
verely. Whencver my neighbour paid me a visit, the gander
always accompanied him, and I was liberal of oats, having
one or two geese in my yard ; he would, besides, came up and
give me a gratuitous call before his master rose in the morn-
ing, but nr ither the oats nor theblandishments of the feathe ed
fair ones could keep him long away, and be soon solemnly
stalked back to his proper station at the mill. Year after
year I perfected my friendship with " Toby," the gander,
and certainly had a share in his esteem, when, one winter,
after heir g confined to the house fey a severe cold, I in-
quired in passing through the mill-yard for my friend,
whom I could nowhere see. " Oh, sir," says a man in the
mill, who had been about the place as long as Toby him-
self, " Tobs's gone." " Gone where?" " Oh, he's dead."
" How dercl?" " Why, sir, we ate Lim for our Christ
mas dinner." " Eat him -1" I think I have been seldom
in my life more astonished and shocked ; positively I would
have given a fat cow to be eaten, could I have saved poor
Toby ; but so it was. Ups❑ inquiry, I found that the peer
man hid not the means to buy his Christmas dinner, that
he was too proud to go into debt, and, determined as lie was
to give his people a meat dinner, poor Toby fell a sacri-
fice to proud poverty."—ladicator.
THE LIFE OF PETRAItCH, BY THOMAS
CAMPBELL, ESQ.—An eminent writer has observed, and
we entirely agree with Lim, that in order to attain a just
application, not merely of the merits, but also of the
personal character of a poet, it is rcqui'ite to possess the
mind and feelings of a poe'. In this respect, " The
Life of Petrarcb," from the pen of Camebell, the first of
our living poets, will come before the public with peculiar
advantages. The fruit of mature reflection—for it has oc-
cupied the author some sears—this work, it is under, tood,
discusses the history and character of its celebrated subject,
poetical, literary, and moral, without partiality or preju-
dice, and in a tone of liberality that pervades Ertl the works
of his no less celebrated biographer.
NEW TYPE-FOUNDING MACH INF.—A let-
ter front Boston (United States) gives the following
notice of anew machine for casting types A mashiee
has been invented and built by Mr. l'e'er Sturtevant and
Mr. Edward Starr, the head mechanic.; of the Boston
Type and Stereotype Foundry, which is likely to be cf a
very important use in tie art of type making. It is a
machine for casting the type, by merely turning the crank,
thereby avoiding the laborious and dilatory process of
casting by hand. The operation of this machine may be
performed by a boy, or a person entirely unskille !, with
double the rapidity of tie best caster ; and so much
greater is the force by which the meted is injected into
the moulds than that exerted is ea=ting in the usual 1111'7-•
thod, that there is rarely, if ever, an imperfect face in
casting the most slender and difficult letter. There is,
besides, less %sante of metal than in the ordinary mode of
casting. The machine is not complex, and is little likely,
as far as we can judge from its construction, to get out of
order. We forbear giving a more particular description,
because the ingenious inventors have net yet secured the
benefit of their improvement by a patent. This we pre-
sume they will do without delay. —lnvontor's Advocate.
