A R R I AG E
M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right deterrn, ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
!Atter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
cornprosing 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 set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Bligkted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'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
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more 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, 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, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be 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

REVIEWS Or THE WORK.
LA'AIERT ON SELF-PRESERVATION.—KENT AND RICHARDS.—This
work possesses advantages over every other other of the kind sub-
mitted to public notice. The author is a medical man of some con-
siderable talent, who has devoted many years to the study of his
profession, and as a guarantee of his pretensions has published his
qualifications and diplomas in the work, and several testimonials of
his abilities from physicians and surgeons of great eminence, which
is a most important consideration to those who, from the peculiar
nature of their infirmities, are obliged to seek medical assistance
from strangers. The subject is treated altogether in ate excellent
manner, and by its perusal the unfortunate victim of vicious habits
and excessive dissipation, will be enabled to account for peculiar
disabilities, and to discover the means of alleviating their sufferings
in an easy and effectual manner.—tinited Service Gazette.
