Some time has elapsed, since I ventured to render
A mark of respect to the feminine gender ;
Aid doubtless the lades will think it high time
That the poet of MOSES should give them a rhyme.
Well, it happened one day, when the weather was calm,
That George and Jemima walked oat arm in arm,
And began to converse (as you'll guess froai the heading)
Concerning a suitable suit for the wedding.
" My dear," said the gentleman, " where should I go
" For an elegant wedding-day suit—do you know ?
" I'm aware of your judgment is all that you view,
" So I'm anxious, my love, to be guided by you."
" Well a 3 that is the case," said his miss, with a smile,
" I shall fix upon tailors renowned for their stylo ;
" By all means, dear George, let your wedding suit be
"One of MOSES and SON'S, if you wish to please me.
" I have seen many fashions, but certainly none,
" In any way equal to MOSES and SON.
"The ease, and the fit, and the general grace,
"Cause a very material change to take place.
" I was thinking of giving a hint such as this,
" But I feared your highs spirit would take it amiss."
" Oh no," rejoined George, " I may candidly say,
"That to your better judgment 1 always give way;
"And believe, my dear, our opinions are one,
" Wltk regard to the dress of E. MOSES and SON."

N.ll.—E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their pre-
sent Stock of juvenile attire. The designs are elegant and unique,
and the workmanship and materials are such as to command univer-
sal approbation, while at the same time the prices are unusually mo-
derate.

.51 One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
auPPosing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
ennlProslag 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 set-
tlement. Honour and justice demsted that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

Marriaga requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, become., when
abused. the Prolific source of inlschief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and conseouence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the Ismail. frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
trona their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent Isis seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse,sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LAMEST has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many- years is a
guarantee fort his professional experience, winch has reference almost
solely to reatment of these diseases.

sioners would take the necessary steps•for the admission

TOTAL LOSS or THE ROYAL WEST INDIAN MAIL
SCHOONER LEE.—Yesterday the authorities at Lloyd's
received information of the total loss of the above-named
vessel. She was on a passage to Belize from Havannah,
and struck on the 10th of last raonth, on a formidable
rock called Glover's reef, about sixty miles northward
of the former port. She is understood to have been in-
sured to some extent. The passengers and mails were
fortunately saved,
