The tale that I relate, I This lesson seems to carry — Choose not alone a proper mate, But proper time to many. ! Cowpeb. EVEN' in the healthy climate of New Zealand there are many men — ' Whose legs, like loaden branches, bow to the earth, Willing to leave their burden. Shakespeare. For now, as in the time of La Bruyere, "many men expend the early part of their lives in contributing to render the latter part miserable," frequently realising Spenser's description — As pale and wan as ashes was his lopke, I His body leane and meagre as a rake, I And skin all withered as a dried rook& I In all countries, and especially in newly* I settled regions, where a disparity of the I sexes exists, I There is an order - I Of mortals on the earth, who do become I Old in their youth, and die ere middle age. ■ Byron. I While it is a well established fact that— I Anguish of mind has driven thousands to I suicide. ■ Coltojt. ■ Recently published, in 16mo, cloth boards, M price 4s 6d (by post ss), or handsomely bound ■ in calf 12s, ■ WEAKNESS ■ In its relation to Married Life, by I DR.

H In this work will be found an answer to I the question which heads this advertisement. H In the Australian Colonies, more than in the H mother country, is continually heard theH complaint, that " young men will not marry;" H and their conduct in abstaining from mar- H riage, in certain cases, is highly commend- H able; for H " It is less a breach of Wedlock to part I tl>an still to foil and profane that! Mystery of Joy and Union, with al polluting Sadness and perpetual Dis- H temper. H Milton. ■ Yet it cannot be disputed that the highest H degree of earthly happiness is that yieldedH by the permanent enjoyments of the marriedH state, for Without our hopes, without oar fears, . Without the Home that plighted lovQ^f endears, ■;■ Without the smile from partial. Beauty won,H Oh? what were Man?— a World without «■ Campbelli. It is true that many marriages prove un*^| happy from there being no children, and^H other causes ; but it is equally true that the^| cause of unhappiness is generally removable f^M for of nearly every woman it may be said— '^H Iv any honest suit she's framed as frnitfu^H As the free elements.
