INTEMPERANCE.

The London Quarterly Review for Ju-
ly, devotes short paperto the examina-
tion of an interesting work, entitled Es-
says Oh the Hypochondriasis and other
Nervous Affections, by John Reid, M.
D." This work, to borrow the language
OF the Reviewer, +" is selection Of the
most important particulars about ncr-
yous diseases which have occurred TO
the author, stripped Of all the technical
expressions, and written in style sim
guiatly striking and agreeable. The
authors object is not so much to extend
our knowledge ofthe pathology Of these
diseases, as TO select those particulars
which seem most important and put
them in a striking shape. The audience
he has in view are not SO much medi-
cal practitioners as nervous invallds !;
these he lectures on the tendencies, of
their complaints, the habits by which
they have been involved in them, and
the mental and bodily regimen most
likely 10 extricate them, and this with
SO much force and elegance of style, as
occasionally to remind US of some Of the
best papers in the Rambler and Specta-
tor" The remarks ofthc Reviewer OH
the last Essay, are SO reple'e with impor-
tant truths and grave admonitions, re-
speeding most seductive and fatal vice,
now alarningly prevalent, that we can
not more probably employ our columns
than by publishing the following ex-
tract:
The last Essay we shall notice is on
xntemherance. There are two truths
which cannot be repeated too often: one,
that wine is not nourishmen.; that it
excites, not strengthens that it is not
diet, but medicine, TO relieve or prevent
langor, and to assist the stomach in di-
gcs,ing its food the latter Of which it
oftener troubles than aids. The other,
that intemperance is to be measured not
by the quantity Of wine, but by its ef-
feet on the constitution; not by cups
but consequences. Let no man fancy
because he does not drink much that he is
no sot. Pope said that to him more than
one glass was debauch, and every man
wiz udU1tudiy tuACS uoIC sHou tio otO-
mach can bear, sooner or later arrives at
those miseries which he has so often
read of as the effects Of hard drinking.
Every healthy topper is decoy duck,
and no more prove, that health is safe
in intemperance than an unwouDded
soldier that life is secure in battle
Strength Of nature in youth" says
Lord Bacon, passeth over many excuses
which are owing man till his age.
In collection Of tracts son the ef-
feet of spirituous liquors." by an eminent
living barrister, there is paper entitled
"the Confessions Of Drunkard," which
affords fearful picture Of the conse.
quenccs Of intcmperance, and which we
have reason to know isyatrue tale. The
following are few disjointed paragraphs
blu, they read as connectedly as the en-
tire original:
"Of my condition there is no hope
that i, should ever change; the waters
have gone over me; but out Of the black
depths could be heard, would cry out
10 all those who have but set foot in

WOMAN'S LOVE

A womaD's love, deep in the he art,
lslike the violet flower,
That lifts its modest head apart
Lin some sequester'd bower;
And blest is he who finds that bloom,
Who sips its gentle sweets;
lie needs not lifc's oppressive gloom,
Nor all the care he meets
A woman's love is like the spring
Amid the wild alone,
A burning wild, DER which the wins,
or cloud is seldom thrown;
And blest is he who meets that fouD,
Beneath that sultry day
How gladly would his spirit mount!
How pleasant be his way!
A woman's love is like the rock
That every tempest braves,
And stands secure amid the shock.
ofocean's widest waves;
And blest is he to whom repose
Within its shade is given;
The world, with all its cares and woes
Seems less like earth than heaven.
