REVIEW OF TIIII_ WORK,

La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
Scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience; • and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before is
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of Masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un-
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

[ADYSILTISEMENT:j—A Clergyman of the Catholic
Church and Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—A benevo-
lent pastor, residing in Belfast (whose name is with
held by his deiire), was applied to by a poor woman of
his parish who bad bean afflicted for tour years with an
awfully bad leg with 16 wounds, And so extremely pain-
ful that she could not place her foot on the ground.
Feeling for her poverty and sufferings, this
llhumane
of Hooway's
gentleman presented her with a supply
Ointment and Pills, which soundly healed her leg in
about five weeks although she had been in the Dublin
hospital for seven months, and had consulted several
other medical men in Ireland. Sold by all Druggists,
and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand,
London.
As it. is from the mine of Borrowdale that the
principal supply of black lead fur pencils is obtained,
some description of this mine cannot fail to be interest-
ing. The mine is situated about nine miles from Kes-
wick, near the head of the valley of Borrowdale, on the
steep side of a mountain. The entrance to the mine is
through a level or adit, which was driven into the hill
in 1798, and at the length of 220 yards communicates
with an older working. Through this principal level
the water passes off, _and the produce and rubbish are
brought out in small waggons, upon a tram• road or rail-
way. Over the mouth of this edit a house is built, in
which the workmen are undressed and searched, as they
pass through it on leaving their work; this precaution
being deemed necessary from the value of the mineral,
and the numerous robberies which were formerly com-
mitted. The depredations were frequently of so bold a
character, that 'an Act of Parliament was absolutely re-
quired, by which " an unlawful entering of any mine, or
wad hole of wad, or black cawke, commonly called black
lead, &c. (25 Geo. Ir., cap. 10), is made felony.— Art
