,f_EL One half the wend are desolately single, and the ether
imposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or
ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
-itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the pies
caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
bumprosieg harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity.
Led broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happinesb
aid social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
!ement. Honour and justice Amami that health should fern an item
the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the hauls!,
breast. Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
.!very other impulse of nature, and Is not silly 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 Use enthrallins
tower of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of parriage
'Shen union does not take place, however, this passion, thi,
fervour, this Belden tide of the manliest feelings becomesaLtie
poison in the heart, which now darkens, es it befororglght-
ened, all thing,s upon earth. How is it that men, of most oh-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment ef every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding is as honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
nabits, er 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 mast subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable I 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. These desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION.

Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Mall, London, Honorary
Member of tho London Hospital Medical Society, ko.

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

ILEYIBW OF TIC WORE.
La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturlty.—" 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
atonal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him 1 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
'‘f masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
oroduction 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. Ey 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-aistrHingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the.prattical advice of a writer on medicine."
