1►J!I One half the wend 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 the latter. The solitary ens may shield himself under the plea
if caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
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 net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour *ad justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
hese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
14EMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life, " pub, in 2 vols., Is.
each (by Lost, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
uy misinterpretatior of their supposed contents, from obtaining
.ern. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
or the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
:he above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
wile publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
,/y post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
~arnphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
fife, 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
rn the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

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