1,%. One half the world are deselately single, and the supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, o
otherr a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter: The solitary ore may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
'Xirflprosiog harry; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the 'great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage se'c, dement. Honour andjustice demand that health shicald form mittens. In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or

Gazette.

The Parent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of careful investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work,
be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulraonary con-
sumption, heart disease, takes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than it is at all suspected.

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 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 of 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 been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of Important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and apon
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.
illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observe,
lenses the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting front

This treatise 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 Itihest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
atent of these diseases.

REVIEW OF Tim WORK.
La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" 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
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mud 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,
open 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 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."
