CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI•CORROSION
PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Govern-
ments, the Lion. East India Company, the principal Dock Com-
panies, most public bodies, and by obility, clergy, and gentry,
for out-door work at their country seat.. The ANTI-CORROSION
is particularly recommended as the most durable out-door paint ever
invented for the preservation of every description of iron, wood,
stone, brick, compo, cement, &c., work, as has been proved by the
practical test of upwards of 60 years, and by the numerous testi-
monials (between 300 and 400) in its favour, and which, from the
rank and station in society of those who have given them, have
perhaps never yet been equalled by anything of the kind hitherto
brought before the public notice.
A Copy of the testimonials, together with a list of priees, colours,
and ocher particulars, will be forwaraed on application to Walter
Carson, 15, Tokenhouse-yard, hack of the Bank of England. No

THE CLOCK
.L The Mart of E. MOSES and an
SON withthites StockA,l A R T.
May in many respects be compared to a clock ;
And I think I can make it a onear in
,•- That the clock. mart in - my rhyme,
question keeps v
It is never too fast, and is never too sloery good Lima'
though never wound up, it continuesw to go.
And bringing a well knovvn expression to bear,
The trade Is conducted like One o'clock there.'
While MOSES and SON, in their capital stock,
Have proved very clearly they know what's o'clock.
E. MOSES and SON have attained a renown,
As two heavy weights which can ne'er be run down ;
Aud their dress, which in all points is made to your liking,
Has ever been viewed as remarkably striking ;
And thousands by cheapness and quality won,
Are striking good bargains with MOSES and SON.
The very low figures tempt people to buy,
And the very good hands make the Mart to rank high.
Thus the Warehouse of MOSES and SON with its stock,
Has in many respects been compared to a clock;
And I now think it better to wind up the rhyme,
With the hope that the reader will ask what's the time.
N.B.—E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their pre-
sent Stock of juvenile attire. The designs are elegant and unique,
and the workmanship and materials are such as to command univer-
sal approbation, while at the same time the prices are unusually mo-
derate.

requires the closest attentien and study, for what subject

victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether aoquireii
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the ceases of
disea4e, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by hi:, possession of the requisite legal

J
E SP AIR !—The climax of human misery
is the agony of Despair. Anger, Hatred, Terror, are en-
durable, but Despair is past the strength of even the strongest, when
it obtains a tenancy in the heart. Hope dies before it, and with
each hour the feeling becomes more desolating, until death or mad-
ness wrench the sufferer from its fangs. It is a dreadful fact, that in
this mighty and prosperous country there are thousands in the con-
dition we have described. Aye ;in the homes of English wealth and
the walks of English industry, Despair daily fixes its abode, and
turns the smiling fruits of enjoyment into " bitterness and ashes."
How is this ; and why is it ? Does a failure in commercial enter-
prise thus daunt the heart and fill its owner with Despair ? No ! it
is his pride to repair a loss and not to sink beneath it ! Does disap-
po.nted ambition occasion his malady? No! Ilope carries him
through every frustration of purpose, and, animated by unswerving
determination, he generally succeeds at last in what he has aimed
at!! Does blighted affection bring on Despair ? No ! Cold looks
may chill hut do not kill. What, then, can be the terrible agency
before which Pride, Hope, and Resolve grow weak and desolates a
heart impregnable to the attacks of mi:fortune, opposition, and
unrequited love? The question is soon solved.
Man laughs at poverty, derides pain, and faces peril ; but a simple
consciousness of an incapacity to fulfil the high purposes of creation
depresses, saddens, and dispirits his entire soul, and with every
source of enjoyment at command, he himself stands joyless and in
Despair! To him the fascinations of beauty are a mockery. He
Despairs of ever feeling authorised to court its smiles. To him the
happy husband and the blooming bride form a maddening sight !
Re Despairs of ever being entitled to a bride! To him the merry
laugh of childhood is odious. Ile Despairs of ever nestling to his
bosom an offspring of his own ! And how dreadful to be thus cut off
front the supreme felicities of existence. The performance of every
duty is an enjoyment, and the more responsible the obligation the
greater is the happiness of fulfilment. Hence sleep, refreshment, ex-
ercise, and other recreations, being most essential, are most pleasing.
How dreadful, then, we repeat, must be the condition of that man
who, from early folly or the irregularities of muturer years, feels
himself cut off from the sublime mission entailed by the Creator on
our race, and which forms the highest of our duties and the noblest of
our privileges. Well may Despair attend such a condition. But to
such we say DESI'AIR NOT ! llelp is at hand, and relief may be
obtained. You will leant all by consulting Dr. Lament's little work
on " SELF PRESERVATION," of which Thirty-six Thousand
Copies have already been sold. It is a treatise on

SELF-PRESERVATION,
IN ENGLISH, FRENCH, OR GERMAN.
illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the repro luetive organs ; with practical observa-
tions on the secret Infirmities of youth - and maturity. This work
is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and much
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.
