beadle endeavoured to get her on board, hot she resisted,
and declared she would not stir until her demand was

from him in the Borough market, bet soon afterwards hd

was entertaining her countryman with a lively description

brought her along.

after this evidence.
She replied that she knew not a word of the language.

Dusnu it placerts rrur: Flue.
Thy house, and (iii the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wire.
SOCRATES, by his Discourse on Marritge, so el
0 raptured his auditors with the subject, that the
married men flew to their wires, and the bachelors hastened
to be wedded; and "The Spectator" has affirmed. that Ow
word " wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name's

Attire.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the
desideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with hap-
piness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to hanuonize
with bliss hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obli-
gation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate
the passions, hut to cleanse the grosser nature from these
impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure msy
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 hody—a residence 'a
the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially
does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently com-
promise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from
whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the clime
of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offer*
hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity : nor will ow
advances appear questionable, 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 caucentrate the
nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often cOnstitutionally
weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im-
proved into functional power.
In every case of syphilitic. intrusion, as well as in every
valuation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability
to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to
expel the unfeeling empiric from the position so presumPro•
ously taken up, we deviate from general principles
less hesitation; and confident in our own honourable inte-
grity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer tlir
