int broken health, aro the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry shoald net be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every ocher impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its intuence, er 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 golden 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 if every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, er 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
ends. The wretched condition of such a being mast 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. These desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

SELF-PRESERVATION.

and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa-

This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
muck neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
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.
