QTERILITY.—Whatever is unproductive is with-
out intrinsic vale. Man and hisaker condemn that
which " yields no fruit,"u and we find largeracts ofalike land abandoned
for the same reason that caused the barren fig tree to be cursed.
This curse clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth
famine. But the malediction breathes loudest and deepest into tue
ear •f these of the human race who remain childless in a community
which must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only
do such encounter the silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures,
but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation
to the wifeless bosom—brings no return for the childless home.
It is a remarkable fact 'that the unproductiveness of soil and
species arises from similarity of cause. Some lands are
the produce of vitiated strata that yields an offspring as
unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of
minerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value
by being too early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Some
soils, originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others
are spoiled by unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the
Want of perseverance and nerve In the husbandman. Mark the ana-
logy! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he
springs. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine-
rals, such as mercury, &c. Man else tries his constitution too early,
and avertasks it too late. Nan, by unwholesome contact can also in-
fect his fame ; anl, to render the comparison complete, man can
render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance
twills organization and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy
cease here. The detriments to cultivatiOn above detailed have been
recently so entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul-
ture, that farmers are now enabled to produce crops almost front
stone itself; and, in like manner, Sterility in the human race is now
removable through the profound discoveries in physic which enlighten
the present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently been
Produced which fills the heart with,hope and is calculated to remove
Sterility altogether. It is from the pen of Messrs. J. CURTIS
PT) CO., lonsulting Surgeons, 7, Frith. street, Soho-square,

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears 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 intuence, 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 tie heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
cited, all things upon earth. 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 if every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be nest binding to as honourable mind
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, 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 must subsequently be
beyeed measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and soon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession if
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,
illistrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive orgstas ; with practical observe-
thins ei the secret Infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting frem
solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

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

RETINVI OP TIII /111RIE.
La'Mort on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes is the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
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 him 1 In thp book before as
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing ono idea that can vitiate a mimd not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision ang4ucidity, blinding the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with-tho loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer avititl benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness ani propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy, By 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 as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."
