L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and Is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity Itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most on-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent In the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being 'mist subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION.

This treatise is the result of a long course oe study in a peculiar and
much neglected branch of medical practice, nod the author having ob-
tained the highest medical lion( art, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
ment of these diseases.

lIIVIILW OF TITII WORK.
I,a'bfert en the Infirmities of Youth and Sfaturity.—" There are
scenes iv the drama of life which are acted with no spectator hut
COescience ; and of these Bic result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch Wm from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him ! In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can ♦itiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
nt 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 avital benefit, physically and morally,
%Pon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
tirnPrietY. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
. nght innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
Pageslaxity has
a. Is likely to
prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breattdne in these
prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
....f.lltmily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."
