supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffideice, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-

each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let ne imaginatively
refined, sr prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by 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 ea
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which aloes or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore. two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, uor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who ewes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to dodtito others as he
would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
