One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, Questionably contented. Diftldence, or a
sense et 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-
zomprosing hurry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justicedernand that health should form au 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
MEMOIRS ' On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by cost, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hiaderei
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere Idle cariosity, but
:or the closet perusal of those mere 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
'ogother, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
'oy post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
damphlets, 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 tinto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147, Fleet.street ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may bo conferred with personally,
nornings and evenings), In, Argyll-plaeo Rogeut-street ; and all
