111 One halt the world are desolately single, and the other
nipposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hoped em-
.itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
sf caution and worldly prudence, and the Indissoluble, regret un-
.noprosioe harry; but the truth Iles deeper. Physical Incapacity,
sad broken health, aro the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour andjusticodemand that health should form au Item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
aeglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Header, if

The Parent, who beholds his belayed child pining away, and fast
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of so►ne disease,
which, for want of cereal] investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, en perusing this work,
he astonished to find, that in nlue-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, taxes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin las
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than it is at all suspected.

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, It sears high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its int uenee, er can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement., snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
analleyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will ilnd the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
