STE RI LITY .—Whatever is unproductive is with-
k 3 out intrinsic value. Man and his Maker alike condemn that
which " yields no fruit," and we And large tracts of land abandoned
for the same reason that caused the barren lig tree to be cursed.
This curserlings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth
famine. But the malediction breathes loudest and deepest lute the
ear •f those of the human race who remain childless in a community
which must altogether fail, withont 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 40 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 toe 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, Sec. Man also tries his constitution too early,
and avertasks it too late. -Man, by unwholesome contact can also in-
fect his f-ame and, to render the comparison .complete, man can
render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance
of his organization and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy
cease here. The detriments to Caltivation above detailed have been
recently s• 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. L. CURTIS
AND CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square,
London, and bears the title of " MANHOOD: The Causes of its
Premature Decline, with Plain Directions for' its Perfect Re-
storation ;" and is sent by W. STRANGE, bookseller, 21,

Pint IV. treats of the Prevention of Disease by a simple ap-

Its power on the system. This important part of the Work should
be read by every Young Man entering into life.
FAIT Y. is devoted to the consideration of marriage, and its
