On CHASTITY and itsIICFRINGEMENTS
(An Essay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to Cain."

WIIAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feeling
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob
servitnee of the instructions herein contained the feeble, the see
vously delica `e, even to the most shattered constitution, ir ay aegis •
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach is health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found et immeae
curable and general utility, for they tell of matters every liviug creae
tore able t, understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated througl
questionab e hansels, is at a very terribletliscount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths
nature, cf hunqan disappointments and their ways of relief, it is net
contended that every rwter shall Ltcome his or her own physician
any more than their own lawye., :••_tt it is insisted upon that Iv-
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the law
wbereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several health)
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our indivislus
capacities in the faintly circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is' herein faithfully imparteis
health will be found to he in our own keeping, and happinef•
within the attainment et all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
• our duty to ourselves, we secure the lilt e advantages on our offspriak
to follow, and filially by the cultivation 91 oar faculties, which la in
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the War
of God's creations.
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own Writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured•
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications• guarantee that 04
topics broached involve his legitiknate study and purcut •

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A LADY.--,llll'o
ing the past week much conversation and excitement
been occasioned throughout the neighbourhood of Va
enham, Richmond, &c., in consequence of the mysterg7i
disappearance of a lady seventy years of age,
Smith, the wife of a gentleman residing at Twickenbio
It appeared that she went to bed with her husband s,
her usual health and spirits on the night after Christalop
day. On his awakening in the course of the night, 01
saw what be supposed at the time to be his wife's he
on the pillow next his, but on his getting up the folioed
ing morning he found that the pillow had been drelef
up, it is supposed, by the lady herself to represent Pd.
still lying there, and although every search was rtsre
after her, both on and off the premises, she was nowuvr
to be found. Since that time a description of her Pere
son has been forwarded to all the divisions of the IneSti
pblitan and City police, and the river, both above
below below Twickenham, has been dragged, without any u°-
of her being discovered.
LABOUR TO MAKE A WATCH.—Mr. Dent, in a '
165,
ture delivered before the London Royal Institute, stslo,
that a watch consists of 902 pieces, and that 40 tra of,
and probably 215 persons are employed in making ollece.
these little machines. The iron of which the balsa a
wheel is formed, is valued at something less tbsiii,
farthing ; this produces an ounce of steel, worth 410 i:
pence, which is drawn into 3,250 yards of steel wire, 04:,
represents in the market 131. 3s. ; but still another P'.of
cess of hardening this originally ,a farthing's worth
iron, renders it workable into 7,650 balance EprinA,
which will realize at the common price, of 2s. 6d. ers
7461 Ss., the effect of labour alone. Thus the o!rei
labour bestowed upon one farthing's worth of iron,
it the value of 9501. 55., which is 75,680 times its OW-
value. ,
