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 thims upon carat. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment or 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 beon
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being mast subsequently he
beyond measure deplorable ! 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
unaroyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deseries the
attent'on of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work eraitled

REVIEW OF TIER woag.
La'Mert en the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drams of life which are acted with no spectator butt
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 hint ! In the book before as
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 o herover
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breatldng 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."
