Mr One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense if right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself undeir the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret en-
comprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health sheuld form au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes sr
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life, " pub, in 2. vole., Is.
each (by most, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy miainterpretation 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
'ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittie publications claim your attention (same price `ls. each,
by post la. 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 ante—to live atter 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 be conferred with personally,
nornings and evenings), 14, Argyll-plane Regent-street; and all
