ettp, One half the world are desolately single, and the other
11,7'111/1 them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
Etf; st right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
it rtlie latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the pica
et;leation and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
ent tresisig harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
1.4 broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happine7s
tt,„leelal content. The dowry should sot be the only marriage sat-
in i`,ellt. Honour andjusticedems.nd that health sheuldform an item
ktm'ecOmpact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
th—eet wetind more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
),tZteurmtses concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
tke `lolotHs On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
(by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
by ed, or prudish feeling deter yon, by their titles, nor be hindered
tiiebst4iiilnterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
kr" ;,_• They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
tile'are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
totoabove subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
litti."mir, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
" Publications claim your attention (same price ls. each,
4,,Nrtt Is. 6d.) called " What to Eaare t, Drink, and
and " How to be Nappy." They not merely
el,,..ruets but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's

Aon,4cre of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
