S. A. One half the world are desolately single, and tho ether
rapposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
witter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
et caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret on-
vesprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Fhyeical incapacity,
ird broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
'ioment. honour andjusticedensand tkat health shauldform anitem
M the compact ; it alone dignifies the affiance. Blighted hopes or
scglect weand more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CIILVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by cost, in etmnps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
ey mieinterpretation of their =proud contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whores
trey are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put faith en
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
`ogether, are a disg=race to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
weld," and " How to ho rlappy." They are not rserely
pamphlets, hat equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral seribblings of the hour, but the study of the anther'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
en the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
