One half the world are desolately single, and the other
,upposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
ease of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
s:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the Indissoluble, regret an-
7omprosing Barry; but the truth Iles deeper. Physical incapacity,
end broken health, are 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 should form au item
'n the compact; it alone dignifies the affiance. /Slighted hopes or
neglect wennd more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
,bese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

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
ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other

by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Nappy." They are not merely
-mphiets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
!lfe, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
ervanee of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unte—te live atter itature's laws—and to keep always

OVE is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambiton. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
!ervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment. of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract'asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
h-stituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating It will find the
tidiest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

SELF-PRESERVATION,
illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa-
lens on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
ielitary habits, excesses, o:• infection.
