M One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
4upposiag them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
'ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
e:tter the latter. Tho solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret nn-
xneeprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
snd social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and Justice demand that health should form as item
'n the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
eeglect wound more sorely than ',evet ty or misfortune. Reader, if
.here surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
ol EMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
:ech (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hiedered
oy inieinterpretatier, of their supposed contents, from obtaining
'hem. They are not interded certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
or the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
t"•sy are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
,ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) celled " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
,mphlets, 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 he done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
in the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
,herwood, 23, Paterncster-row ; Carvaiho, 147, Fleet•street • Mann,
'9, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
eese) from the author (who may he conferred with personally,
mornings and cvenines). 10. Reenn,,teeet end

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than me^e passion, it soars 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 influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike mos:: 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 teelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ermd, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
cLangeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilmeni, 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, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
h.stituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being mast subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable 1 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 possawion of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
