LOVE 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 gelded 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 od?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows lihnself 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 disaapointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of

REVINW OF THE WORK.
La'Atert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life winch are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a i ,nely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the hook before CC
such a monitor is to he found, calculated to warn and histruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that call vitiate a mind 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,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness anti
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By nn
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice hreathine 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."
