" Dotnus et platens tmur."—Hos.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
. That hooey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
IIAOPIN ESS " the gay to.morrow of the mind" is
Insured by `Marriage; " the strictest tie Of perpettral Friend-
skip," is a gift froutlieaven, cementing pleasure • With reason, by
which, sty. Johnston, " we approach in some degree of assadatton
with celestial IntelliAence."

Previous, Itowev;r, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but
to cleanse the grosser nature from those imporities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure May have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those Implies
instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the be-
holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxerluus habits will effeminise t►e body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently comproutise the na-
tural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonited
sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then,
we address outselves, offering hope, energy, mnsenlat strength,
felicity; nor will our advances appear questionable sanctioned as
they are by the multiplied proofs of tO years' successful eXperienco.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disnarbed by the
suspen'ion of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath
—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be
strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation
of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily,
and with effect. Earnestly solicitous m expel the tmfeeling tutpyric
from the position so presumptuously taken up. we deviate front
general principles with kb' hesitation ; and confident Matte ewe
honourable integrity as Members Of the College of Surgeons, we
trier the suffering community of either Sex (especially those entering
into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where dally Atte:darter
is given for personal consultation ; and inters from the mann y are
immediately answered; these must contain a remittance for Advice
and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world,
however distant. •

" And know that from Reaaon Derangement to wee him,
" You now are conlined in a Maniac Asylum!"
The Mercer, array'd in a pair of bright Boots,
Now raid 'gam the female of swindling pursuits;
" Yes, yes, I am mad," be eaclahu'd, " and my brain

His feelings of fury now mounted so high,
That samara proceeding at once to apply
Of rigid coercion. the keepers then saw
Their shades in the Jr/ of unrivali'd eclat ;
And fled, as they stood, with amazement aghast,
To freedom the imputed lunatic rued!
Oh, fortunate event, the swindler was trac'd,
And thee the rich silks in the slop were repfae'd.
The Mercer adverts to the chance with much glee,
That set him from duress and jeopardy free ;
