14 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, Gre
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
somprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
tnd broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect weand more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVIIRWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or 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 curiosity, but
ter the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the ompyrical trash put forth on,
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
.ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
samphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
Ise, 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
in the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paterncster-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,
awnings and evenings). 10, Argyll-place Regent-street; and all
