V,PEN CER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.

limes by one application a pleasing and permanent change; and it

Lt Y A E.
One half the world are desolately single, and the other
:opposing them married, questionaMy contented. Diffidence, or a
•mse of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
....ter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
,5 caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
meiprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
ad broken health, arc the great hindrances to domestic happiness
.nd social content. The dowry should net be the enly marriage set-
iement. Honour and justicedergand that health should form an item
,e the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
,eglect weund more sorely than poverty er misfortune. Reader, if

4r the closet perusal of those mere eeeply interested, to whom
ttey are offered as antagonistic to ilia cmpyrical trash put forth on

imphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribbling, of the hour, but the study of the author's
~fe, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this eb-
ervance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
