In one instance, married life can? be made a blessing and a joy, and in the other, a misery, self-reproach, arid degradation. . Dr. L. L.

A PARADdX.^TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE!
WiiAT.is Ne : rvouSness ?— Various answers , might J>e given "to_this question', according to the'coKstitution ah"d~k"ri6wledge"oFthTin-" dividual. . Strong. heajthy ; ,peraons, whether medically, educated or not, generally regard nervousness ..as more or less an "imaginarycomplaint;" it is sometimes only believed' to; be real when the patient is found to be dying* or dead. -The best answer to 'the question, probably, is this— Neivoumess is an unnatural. condition of the nervous system.. Sometimes this, unnatural state is accompanied . with considerable, bodily , weakness, loss of flesh andloss of strength j but in iuost. case? there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weakness. The sufferers are found in both 'sexes ; they often have the bloom of health upon the cheek; they are surrounded by kind' friends, yet: existence to >them has.no,chavms,Jor.ih(^ieel .that.-they. cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, they annoy other people about the merest trifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly ;they feel confused? afraid, t and alarinejl j the iheart Jjgafsi violentlf:, |h>_ Ifabd- sliafees^hld" and the wholeframe at times experiences a complete tremulousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes iudis»tinot, the will capricious ancUundecidedj the taste vitiated, the imagination brVodsSunon unpleasant|topics,4.tfig^spirAtsjftrejyeky fowl or very excited, the ordinary duties of life becgmiyburdensflme, society is shunned, and business neglected. A Stanoe Spectacle.— lt is certainly strange, bftt not the less 1 true, that perfectly sane persons in the-pVime of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, r in spite of possessing ,all.th.c advantages .. qf education, religion, ample means, arid kind fripnds, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above described ; unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. Why is this ? , What cause; has [operated to change 'th^ej cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting," arid uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, istljßst, .eftspjeiousj and gloomy misanthrope ? Many causes, or one cape on}y, may operate to produce ,this. sad sjtate j the. cause.niay be either mental Wpb"yi>icaV;or Ibpth toinbinfed. A ttempts iti Cure Wefvou'iriess " by "mearis of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygienic means, such a^ exercise »tho ppen; air, \ regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath' friction ; change of air, and scene, as in travelling. If all these fail,- as they often do, what is to be done?
