Take Particular Notice.
There is an evil habit sometimes INDUCED in
by boys, in solitude, often growing up with
them TO manhood, and winch if not reformed
in due time, not only begets serious obstacles
TO matrimonial happiness, but gives rise to a
series Of protractet Insidious, and devastating
affections.
Few of those who give way 10 this PERM
cious practice are aware Of the consequences
until they find the nervous system shattered
feel strange and understandable sensations, and
vague fears in the mind. (See pages 81, %,
30, of Dr. ks book on "Self Preservation"
The unfortunate thus affected become feeb-
lie, is unable TO labor with accustomed vgor OF
to apply his mind tostudy, his step is tardy and
wea k; he is dull, Hresoute, and engages even
| in his sports with less energy titan usual
| If he emancipate himself before the practice
has done its worst, aud enter matrimony hIs
marriage is unfruitful and his sense tells him
that this is caused by his early follies.
These are considerations ichich Shollld Gluaken
