111 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence' or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter 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 set-
tlement. Bomar and justice demand that health sheuldform anneal
In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, If
these surmises concern you, procure Dry CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
,'elined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
ay misinterpretation of their supposed contents, frora obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, bat
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as an te the em

together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
tittle publications claimedur attention (same price is. each,
by post ls. Gsl.) " 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 scribbllngs of the hour, but the study of the author's
life,whe owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
