A R R I A G E.
In One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter tke latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social context. The dowry should not he the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form ax item
in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern yon, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS ' On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, is. 6d. each). Lot me imaginatively
relined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mare deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by auqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim year attention (same pries 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 ante others as he
would be done unto—to live after natere'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) front the author (who may be conferred with personally,
