0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
A 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 fever,
this golden tide of the manliest feelings beenmes a deadly poison in
the heart, which now darkens, as it before brightened, all thin s
upon earth. We still love on. but disappointment acts like a canker-
worm, and gnaws at the root of every feeling on which we subsi.t.
Of the causes by which disappointment is superinduced, none ope-
rate more frequently than an inward consciousness that the will to
enter the holy fane of matrimony is not equalled by the power to
encounter its obligations. Why is it that actions for breach of pro-
mise of marriage are so often brought a.tainst the most honourable of
men, and the most ardent of suitors? How is it that men, of most
unchangeable 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 Viidit,g 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
end+. 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 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. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in DR. LI'MERT'S little
work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION,

illustrated by forty coloured engravinzs on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the repro luctive organs; with practical observa-
tions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity. 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 oh-
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.
