The tale that I relate, ' This lesson seems to carry— -^ Choose not alone a proper mate, < Bat proper time to marry. CpWPIR, irEVEN in the healthy climate of New Zealand there are many men— Whose legs, like loaden branches, bow to the earth, Willing to leave their burden. . , Shakespeare. For now, as in the time of La, Bruyere, " many men expend the early pais of their lives in contributing to render the latter part miserable," frequently realising Spenser's description — As pals and wan a? ashes was his looke, His body leane and meagre as a rake, And skin all withered as a dried rooke. ■ In all countries, and especially in newly* settled regions, where a disparity of the sexes exists, There is an order Of mortals on* the earth, who do become Old in their youth, and die ere middle age* Byron. While it is a well established fact that — Anguish of mind has driven thousands to suicide. Colifoir.

SMITH, For eighteen years the Leading Consulting Medical Man in Melbourne, in all Special Diseases, and in all Complaints incidental to hot climates. ;" In this work will be found an answer to the question which heads this advertisement. In the Australian Colonies, more titan in the mother country, is continually heard the complaint, that " young men will not marry;" and their conduct in abstaining from mar* riage, in certain cases, is highly commendable; for "It is less a breach of Wedlock to part than still to foil and profane that Mystery of Joy and Union, with a polluting Sadness and perpetual Distemper." Milton. Yet it cannot be disputed that the highest degree of earthly happiness is. that yielded by the permanent enjoyments of the married state, for " ' r Without our hopes, without our fears, Without the Home that, plighted love endears, Without the smile from partial' Beauty won, Oht what were Man?— a World without Sun. Campbell. It is true that many marriages prove un» happy from there being no children, and other causes ; but it is equally true that the cause of unhappiness is generally' removable; for of nearly every woman it. may be said— - In any honest suit she's framed as fruitful As the free elements. ; Shakspeare.
