he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
vhich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
loud, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
,then elms of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
3articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the h,ssoth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
eatitled.
It o ,losolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
rinriples of personal management which cannot be violated with-
olt incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue-
c:tal the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penaltie4
:nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness army be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all,
tat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derange:nent to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

THEATRICAL PROFESSION.
This was an ac, Cori or might uy John Ricketts, a
pantomimic, and dancer, against Mr. Swanborough,
of the Strand Theatre, to recover a sum of money
for salary, under the following circumstances.
The plaintiff's eve was that he had been engaged
at the Lyceum Theatre as harlequin in the latepan-
totnime, and after his duties 'ceased there he had a
second engagement at the Strand Theatre to dance
in the ballet, at a salary Of 255. a-week, which he
was to receive every Saturday evening before he
went on the stage, for the five nights, and give cre-
dit for that evening, BD as to run on to the follow-
ing week. At the end of the first week finding some
difficulty in getting his inimpy, in the absence of
the manager, Mr. Swanborough, he told Mrs.
Swanborough he should nut play unless his wages
were paid, but ultimately it was settled. In the
second week he played in two pieces for the good
of the theatre. On the Saturday there was another
hitch about the inon(7, there being no treasury, as
was usual for the payment of the different per-
formers. Plaintiff again rJusecl to go on, when de-
fendant sent for him, and told him that the cur-
tain should be raised, and that then he would have
the " pull" if plaintiff still refused. Mr. Swan-
borough came before the audience and made a
speech, informing them that it was impossible to
proceed with the ballet that night in consequence
of the length of the other performances. Subse-
quently the plaintiff stepped forward and addressed
the company, denying the truth of what they had
just heard, and stated that the fact was Mr.
Swanborough had refused to pay for the perform-
ance.

In defence it was pleaded that the plaintiff had
not fulfilled his engagement, inasmuch as he had
been paid for six nights, and consequently his next
payment was not due until the end of the week ;
besides, he had infringed one of the special rules of
the house; by addressing the audience without the
permission of the manager, and had made a speech
must prejudicial to the theatre.
Mr. Wright was called for the plaintiff, and said
the cus om was to pay on Saturday between 2 and
the hands of the manager.
3 o'clock for the five nights, leaving the sixth in

The defendant said it was usual to hold the trea-
sury on satuntay evening, at the end of perform-
ances. He told the plaintiff that it was the last night
of the season, requested him to go on and do his
duty, and he should be paid, but he refused. The
claim was therefore defended upon principle, be-
cause th- plaintiff's misconduct had been a serious
inconveni no-, and if others had struck in the same
way it would have been two o'clock on the Sunday
morning before they could have got through the
ptfrf,rni,nees.

Plmot ff—Did not Mr. -- strike one evening?
D fendant—No ; he was intoxicated, but he did
not strike. (Laughter.)
The learned Judge, rifter hearing the evidence of
Mr. Stammers as to the custom and practice of
theatrical managers as to payment, said it appeared
so him that the engagement was not completed,
and the bargain made by the plaintiff not suffi
ciently proved. Iu addition to these points the
plainiff had misconducted himself by coming for-
ward and ac:dressing the company, and therefore
was not entitled to receive anything.
Judgment for the defendant.
