L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the hisman
breast. Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but mere 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
*son in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
tine spent in the fulfilmeni,. of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract:asander which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, sr 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 conditien of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the
nsost 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
Wiest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

SELF-PRESERVATION.

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

WEVTIW OP' VIE WOE!.
La'Mert on the Infirmities of 'Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes la the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
Peortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into whick such scenes must plunge hini I 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, blendhig 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,
spun 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 coarse, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breatking in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer oa medicine."
