i.V Ono half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense el right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
emprosiag hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Ilonoar and justice demand that health sheuldform an item
In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little

them They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ottle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by Post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and "'low to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scrffiblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be 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
