A R R I AG E
31 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
aid social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that 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
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

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
Aveid," 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

LA'MERT 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 conis
-
siderable talent, who has devoted many years to the study of h
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 wh^, from the peculiar
nature of their infirmities, are obliged to seek medical assistance
from strangers. The subject is treated altogether in an 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.—United Service Gazette.
