Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
COCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en-
k.7 raptured his auditors with the subject, 'that she married
men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded;
and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is the
Mint agreeable and delightful name in nature.
.. Thu sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the de-
r.ideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with happiness
iin;eardt,,but disposing the soulitself to •harmonize with bliss
hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation,
it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions,
hut to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which
the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it.
To the neglect of such attention are attributable many of those
hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration
of the beholder, should also impress hint with the fear of self.
reproach.
Luxurious habits will effentinize the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—hut more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a state of inanition:, front whence the ago-
nizeil sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all
such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—mus-
cular strength—felicity ; nor will our advances appear question-
able, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty
years successful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the
suspension of those blessings. which. concentrate the nuptial
wreath—for the female habit • is • often constitutionally weale-e
yet it can he strengthened, and defioknt energy imported into
functional power. .
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every re-
laxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to
cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the
unfeeling empyric from the position so presumptuously taken
up, vie deviate from general principles with less hesitation;.and
confident in our own houourable integrity as Members of this
College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering conmtunity nieltkei
sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once.to
our house, where daily atteodance is given for personal con-
sultation ; and letters from the country are immediately an-'

LITTLR %CUT? AND HIS FOSTER-FATUFR.—The Readers of
our Bow-street reports will recollect the affair of little Ikckets,
the illegitimate and deserted son of a rich man now abroad; the
child ivhow wretched mother died soon after his birth, and what,
when thus left helpless and destitute, abandoned by the parish
because his mother had not affiliated hinewas fostered and reared
by a poor labouring man, at Ileston, near Hounslow, named Bell,
who had eight children of his own ;.the lad who was shot at apd
miserably wounded by a country booby, whom a farmer had in-
trusted with a gun to frighten the birds front hid corn. If they
recollect this story, they will be glad to learn that there are hem-
volent persons who, in this case, ere " doing good by stealth."—
Since the affair was first mentioned,scareely a day has passed with-
out Sir ittCHARD Mums having received something or other for
the use of " Little Beckett and his foster-father," and in every in-
stance the gifts have been sent anonyMously. He on Friday re-
ceived 5!. for this. purpose, in a letter signed J.G. and bearing
the Watford'post-mark; and another 51. from A. hi-making the
whole amount received, up to this period, 381. This is cheering ;
but it is hoped sufficient may be collected to afford some perma-
nent good to these interesting and deserving individuals.
.IJRIO.II—HALL:—EITRAORDINARY TUPOSTOR.—Friday a girl of
most fascinating appearance, who has an endless variety el. fumes,
wks.breptht before L B. AMEN, Esq. by elle Overseers el Ber-
mondsey, Charged with having become a pauper of that parish,
under circumstances of the very grossest deception. 111 r. I lol-
land Sehe overseer) stated, that the prisoner had been picked up
in Bermandiey-street, and conveyed to the Workhouse in a state
of great apparent distress and league., She then stated that the
had just walked up from Hythe, in Kent, where she Mid-been
seeking her mother withoiet effect. The greatest interest sees
excited by her appearance and the eloquent manner in which she
detailed a long series of calamities; and her case was investi-
gated in the Corrinaltfee4nom where she said she was the daugh-
ter of a private in the 19th Regiment of.Foet, and was born at
Malta, from whence she went with the Regiment to the West
Indies, America, and Italy. The liktor, however, caused
some doubt as to her veracity, and, close inquiry being made,
she was found to be a most abominable liar. On a farmer occa-
sion this young lady had declared, in the most pceitiVe manner,
that letters, denying the truth of her story, were fabricatious, -
and that the Parish was imposed upon by her enemies. NIr.A 1.-
LEN then referred the investigation to the Menaicity Society,
and a person from the office of that Institution attended the Ma-
gistrate on Friday, accompanied by a number of Parish Officers
on whom she had imposed. It was stated to Mr. Attie, that
the prisoner was wonderfully skilled in the art of imposture, and
had amongst her dupes some persons of the highest rank. A let-
ter had been received by the Society from the Dowager Lady
Stamford, enclosing the Petition of the prisener, who was men-
tioned in it as Lucy Hartly. Miss Hartly had been also recom-
mended by Miss Walpole, at whose door she had been found in a
condition scarcely paralleled. Relief was forthwith granted, and
letters were sent to the places where the prisoner said she was
known and respected ; but before the answers were received, she •
disappeared. Two days after her last visit to the Society, pretty
good evidence that she was an impostor arrived 'I he Master of
Whitcchapcl workhouse said, that the prisoner was A pauper in
that parish for many years, and had been bound apprentice to a
coach-builder, front whose service she ran to try the experiment
of working upon humanity. Her real name was Maria Hughes,
and-her brother was now in the workhorse. Since lierlight from
her appreptieeehip, she had been frequently passed to her parish ;
the last time being in May, 1890, when she was sent from
Kingston-upon-Themes. She had also been at St. Martin's
workhouse, from which she absconded, after having robbed
some of the inmates of 30/. or 401. The witness informed the
Magistrate that he bad heard she would, at the, death.dlf a. near
relation, be entitled to the sum of 6001. or 7001. Slie leikbeeit
in various asylums in the Metropolis, from every one of %which
. she bad decamped, as confinement and imiustr y were nut at all
to her taste. The Magistrate asked the girl, who had the must
remarkable command of tears, whether she was.di.pewedeo con-
tradict the accounts she had just heard? She held see heed
and sobbed. She then admitted that she belonged to ill; parish
that claimed her valuable services, bet was silent when-woken
ito about her parents. Mr. 'Attie; who was vildetailterreck
with a•touishment at the singular conduct of the impostor, over
whom still hangs a very greit mystery, said he should remand
- her until the parish officers of St. Mardi's should attend. See
was then tekeu to prison.
GUILIMALL.—The Steward and Secretary to a Benefit &kitty,
called the Benevotert Whips, appeared to aUswerehe compleeit
of M. Clare, who stated, that he watered the Club its 1607, ::rid
had paid a guinea a quarter ever since; that on the 2d of Sep-
temler, hejsig ill, he declared on the box, and sent.a friehel for
