ARRI A G E
M. One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right deternmie the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
loftier the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing 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
tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone: dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
