M One half the world aro desolately single, and the other
supposing thorn married, questienOly contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ens-
Isitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself ander the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indtwduble, regret un-
e.omprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not Ise the only marriage set-
tlement. nonqpr and justice demand that health shoeldform as item
