11 AI One half the world are desolately single, and the other
apposing them married, questionahly contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
if caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret em-
romprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
aeglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune: Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. ,C ULVEEWELL'S little
ItEMOHIS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor ho hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, kat
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone er
,egether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
lttlo publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
07 post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to he Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor aro they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this oh-
ervanca of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would he done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of' the way." The above works may be had of
