MARRIAGE.
Reflect that q sound mind and body the
most necessary, requisites TO Prolnote c'hnuDlal
happiness, Indeed, without these the journey
| through life becomes weary pilgrimage, tho
| nrospect hourly darkcns TO the view, the mind
| becomes shudowcd with despair, and filled with
| the me q ncholy reflection that the happiness OF
anoths.' is bighted with our own
| DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE.
Whca c misguided and irprudcnt votary OF
| plcas,r nds that he has imblbed the seeds of
this paiu ul disease, 1t too often happens that ar
i-timcS cnsc Of shame or dread OF discovery de-
tnrs him from applying to those who, from educa-
| ton and responsibility, can alone betrlend him,
delaying tiff the constitutional symptom: Of this
| horrid disease makes their appearance such a,
liberated sore LnFOaL, ulacfscu HoSc, HOCtuiu uni

1t is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disc,lse through falling
TENDEKS, who, by the use of that deadly
Poison, Mercury Sc, destroy, the constitution,
and incapable Of curing, keep the unhappy .ui'
fcrer month after month taking their no1lous
INJURIOUS compounds, and instead of being 70;
stored to renewal of Life Nigorand Happiness
in despair leave him with ruined Health to Sigh
over his calling disappointment.
