One halt the world are desolately single, and the other

latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
Zo`r_u.loll and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
rind oroken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness

Tlemtrit. honour and justice demand that health should form au item

far the closet perusal of these mere deeply interested, to whom
