We t;nn make our lives sublime; | And. departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.’’ THE above is read with groat interest by thousands of young men. It in--pircs them with Horn, for in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail, Alas! say many, this is correct,—is true with regard to the youth who has never abused his strength—and to the man who has not boon “passion’s slave.” Hut to that youth—to that man. who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the temporary sweet allurements of vice, who has given unbridled license to Ms passions, to him the above lines are but ns a reproach.

Du. L. L. Smith, of Melbourne, has made the diseases of youth and those arising therefrom his peculiar study. His whole professional life has been especially devoted to the treatment of Nervous Affections and the Diseases incidental to Married Life.
