CELlBA.CY.—Singleness is not always the con-
sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, ors diffi-
culty in meeting with a tit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried
would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did
they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered
page of life reveals innumerable instance a where, under that
blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec-
Hos to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to
that life of unmitigab!e anguish and fettered solitariness into which
his affianced would be plunged if he married. Some are, however,
wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these
circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the
altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his
selfish desire of exclusively enioying her society, by precluding her
Prom accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this
history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common
foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren-
der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The
disqUalitications for Marriage have more than one primary source ;
the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely,
Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the
Weakening effecls of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera-
ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired
disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects
of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im-
pulse towards wed`ock. In each of these Instances it is unhappily
too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and
he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. Such will find
an obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous
Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of
which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and Co.,
Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London, entitled
MANHOOD ; the Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plain
Directions for Perfect Restoration, &c., &c. This eminent Work,

sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes sare
em-
titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
com in
presiog hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and 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 as item
in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes or
seglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern yea, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS 'Oa Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., ls.
each (by vest, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
sy misinterinetatien of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore. two other
little 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 raerely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, 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 I Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
