Stroys both mind and body.
What pity that young man, the hope of his

snatched from all the prospects and emit yments Of
life by the consequences of devatng from the path OF
nature and INDUCING ia certain secret habit. Such
persons before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
Should reflect that a sound and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubia happiness.
Indeed without these, the journey through life be-
comes weary pilgrimage, the prospect hourly dark

despair, and filled with the melancholy reflection tina.

IMP o TEN CE-WE.aKNESS OF THE GEM
tai ORGANS.
Loss OF virlle power is the penalty mostfreI uenty
paid by those who give loose rein license their
passions. Young persons are too apt To commute Z
cesses from not being of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although impotency occurs from
structure deposites in the urine, gravel, and from n
mefous other causes, yet the abuse of the sexual
gans, by excessive venery or selfpOluiion; paIcu
aTly the latter is the frequent of it, Now
who that understands the subject will pretend deny
that the power of procreatng the species is lost
by those who practice the solitary gice than by the
prudent. Besides, by premature impotence the di-
gesive functions are deanged, and the physical and
mental powers weakened by too frequent and too
great excitement Of The genital organs. Parents and
guardians are often misled, with respect to the
causes or sources of disease in their and wards
How often do they ascrbe TO other the vast
ing of the frame diOtcy, madness, palpitaton of the
heart, indigestion, arrangement of the nervous sys-
TEN, cough and SYMPTOMS, indicating consumption,
when the truth is that they have been caused by in
dulgng in perncious, though alluring practice, des
ructiVe to both mind and body.
| INVOL UNTARY SEMINAL EMISSIONS,
Of this distressing disease, which is the common
result of the above mentioned secret habit, but yerv

too hasty discharge of semen in copulative and pas
sionate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty

the discharges or emissions become easily ex-
cited and frequent, often brought on by lascivious
ideas, or by merely touching the part. In this deplo
rsele case, the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection and in this debilitated
and sensitive state of the organs the diYeu effects nf
