NI 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 miscalculate/4 hopes em-
.ittcr the latter. Tha solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
zomprosing 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 justicedemand that health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by cost, 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
:hem. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
or 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 inqualitied authors, which alone or
.ogetlier, aro a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
uy post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Ilappy." They are not merely
damplilets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
Ille, 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 atter nature's laws—and to keep always
an the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet-street ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Islalson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
mornings and evenings),, 10, Argyll-place Regent-street; and all
Booksellers.
