d..N11 One half the world are desolately Single, and the other
inpposing them married, questionahly contented. Diffidence, cr a
;arise of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
eater the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosieg 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
ha the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
seglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, If
these surmises concern you, proeure Dr. CITLVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "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 be hindered
thy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
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 or
together, arc a disgrace to tho age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publicatlors claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by Tort Is. fid.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " Row to be Happy." They are not merely
paelp;,•lets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere erhenioral scribblings of tho hour, but the study of the author's
fife who owes his present existence, health, and position to this oh-
sere.seea of the maxims be would inculcate—to do unto others as he
wor..te 'xi 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
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-rew ; Carvallao, 147, Fleet-street • Mann.
