14 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
btrY other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
its more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
I,,lnfluence, or can avoid its stray ; and business, pleasure, philo-
D4rY, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
with LOVE, which. unlike most things, increases in intensity
tiefme, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
ri4so, union does not take place, however, this passion, this
poisrr, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
eii„,,n in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
th". all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
tir;bteable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
tre2Pent in the fitment of every engagement, snap the very con-

REVIEW OF THE WORE.

C'os In the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
,°llacience owithf tse the result is ever disastrous. Hap the
;°rtal who meets he
ti a mely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
Which such scenes must plunge him ! In the book before us
11 a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, 'without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
-7 tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
Rtillasterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
pror°PhY and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
fiction calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
~.port all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
;013riety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
laglt mnocence the book is not, of course, neededwherever
paz:Y,has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
