There is, however,•a' podsibilify of ye.;
covery from the prostration prodoced by
these causes, long after their victim ~ ' s
ceased to hope fOr'it. If we are
informed, the most. astonishing cures
of what is called general weakness and
debility, which have ever peen °known
in this country, have , been effected thro'
the epoxy of Dr. Holloway's inestima
ble remedies. Mere skeletons of men,
out of whom the very principle of vitali
ty seemed to have been .drained, have
been restored to health and vigor by the
operation of the Pills ; and of the Clint,

energies by over-exertiOn—if, in 'their
anxiety to-go ahead," they will override
the most Precious of God's blessings,
health—it is , well they shouldknow how
to repair the Iniachief 'when - they come
at last to realike thelact of their Tore

'law has a restraining effect upon them;
nor is it regarded ati a buiden "too

they habitually foster no law-breaking

acquiescence in tha t t , which is ordained.
Believing that they ought to render Ul2l

they do not desire to do less than this
and the 'consequence therefore is, that
theft , internal and external ate in per
fect agreementotherwfse; that the
spirit of their relig.ous and social du
ties, never do Violeoce to the letter of
those duties, but act in harmony with
them. Although Mr. Oakum and Miss
Pickem had sufficient intelligence to
comprehend all this, yet the governing
philosophy of their lives partook little
or nothing of these principles. They
appeared to be altogether unconcerned
about motives, or internal views. If
the external was only in accordange
with• the popujer or, commonly received
ideas of propriety, .they made little ac
count . of. anything. else. ..Henek, they
both observed the strictest circumspec
tion and external decorum in all that
related to the various, progressive steps
they took in their courtship and its final
consummation_; and perhaps the only
regret they indulged in, was the uncere
monious, manner 'in which .their intro
duction was brought about. Less exter
nal and, more, disinterested people, per
haps, would have attributed it to the
leadings, or at least to the permissions,
of Providence, but with all their circum
spection,Ah'epwere not willing to be
lieve that any event; reatienti'vely, to
them, could possibly take place without
their own immediate agency in it.
Although, according to the sublime
principles-of the system' of the philoso
phy aforesaid, there cannot be am inter
nallivithent an external; yet there may
be aniexternal without an internal. In
other words, although there cannot be
real goodness implanted in the heart, or
the affections of man, without that good
ness manifesting.itself, in some way, by
outward acts in correspondence with it ;
there may•yet be the'outward seinblance
of goodness coining from a corrupt
heart. This is the way Ithat; 'all' the va
rious degrees 'of selfishaese 'and hypoc
racytmanifest themselves, and are only
resorted to for the advancement of eel
hihand sinister ends. Although these
perveriat principles, so detrimental to
!Inman happiness, enter more or leas in
to the daily actions -and experiences of
a•• large portion 'of 'the human family ;
