Donna et Nouns ?oxen -Hon.
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That hooey drop) thy pleasing wife.
SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en-
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married
men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded;
and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is the
most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the de-
sideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with happiness
on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss
hereafter.

Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation,
it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passion!,
but 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 him with the fear of self-
reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the ago-
nized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all
such, then, we address ourselves, offering hopc—energy—mus-
culai strength—felicity ; nor will our advances appear question-
able, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty
years succesNful 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 weak—
yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved 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, we deviate from general principles with less hesitation; and
confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of the
Colkge of Surgeons, we refer the suffering community of either
sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to
our house, where daily attendance is given for personal con-
sultation; and letters from the country are immediately an-
swered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medi-
cine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, how-
ever distant. GOSS awl Co. M. R. C. Surgeons, 11,

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED CONSTANTINOPLE,
AUGUST 10, 1821.
The departure of Baron Strogonoff, as you will
naturally conclude, has given rise to infinite specula-
tion on the political consequences with which it is
likely to be followed. You must not absolutely infer
a war from it at all, and certainly not an immediate
one. Under the present system of Europe, a con-
sultation between Alexander anti his Allies seems to
be an indispensable necessity. This can take place
in no mode so convenient as that of a Congress, and
if time is afforded for deliberation, the difficulties in
the way of an adjustment of the dispute will be les-
sened, if noi. removed. A mediation, and a powerful
one, on the part of England and Auctria,. will no
doubt be offered, for the policy of both those Go-
vernments manifestly tends towards the preservation
of peace. The Turks themselves, common sense will
suggest, cannot entertain any desire to engage in
' war with their European neighbours, and least of all
with such a P?wer as that with which they are now
threatened to be placed in opposition. With this
knowledge of their disposition, and by the aid of a
little prudent management, they may be brought to
accede to almost any terms that could be proposed,
unless Alexander models his conduct on the fable of
the wolf and the lamb, and is determined, at all
events, to pick a quarrel.
It is only this morning that Strogonoff, who has
been detained nearly a fortnight by contrary winds,
sailed from Constantinople : before his departure he
caused the Imperial Russian arms to be removed
from the Chancery. In what light his recent conduct
will be viewed by his own Court remains to be ascer-
tained. I understand that, in the dispatches for-
warded by the Turkish Government to St. Peters-
burgh, he is distinctly charged, on very strong evi-
dence, with having availed himself of the inviolabi-
lity of his character to assist the Greek insurrection.
Whatever feelings may be associated with the Greeks
on account of their struggles for liberty, which are
among the first impressions we receive in education,
it ought not to be forgotten that they are the subjects
of Turkey, and that a foteign Ambassador in Lon-
don might with as much propriety take upon hint to
aid and assist a rebellion in Ireland, as Baron Strogo-
noff interfere, as every one believes he has done, for
the cause of the Greeks.
