.M One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
eapposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a

caution and worldly prudence, and the indissotubfe, regret un-

- and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item
