One half the wend are desolaltely single, andG 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-
comproshig hurry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, aro the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform an item
In the compact ; it alone dignifies the Alliance. Blighted hopes sr
seglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered ,
ey 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
ittle 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 abovo works may be had of

wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
