inN One half the world are desolately single, and the other
IK,Pr'illg them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
titt e of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-

az the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
and worldly prndence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
44Pr"jaa hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
_ _ broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness

rhent. Honour and justice demand that health should form am item
