I The country uumbers tens of thousands of women who are widows because their husbands have been slain by strong drink. There are hundreds of thousands of homes in which women live lives of torture, going through all the changes of suffering that lie between the extremes of fear and des- pair; because those whom (they love like have sworn to love.

All It was believed at the time that the sickness was caused by vanilla poisoning-r-as it has been thought to be the cause of poisoning in numerous other cases. But there is the positive statement of distinguished chemists that there is nothing in vanilla to produce poisoning.

Human nature craves some indulgence of the sort. In all climates, under every circumstance of life some kind of nerve soother or nerve stimu lant has. been sought and found by the poor worried sons of Adam. Is it wroner to use them fTea and coffee for instance, are they not innocent? But these are for people who have means, and if you give the lady or of Mocha what will you do for the poor man whose only solace in toil and hunger is a chew of tobacco? It is a coarse enoct sir luxury, but it seems to us to come undei the head of "lawful" though always expedient. Lawful so long as one is not brought under the power of it, and be come such a slave' as to be unable to refrain from the indulgence, even in church, or wherever other people are incommoded by it.

Sarah Bernhardt has never been married she has four children; she brought to JLon- don with her, and took in every tine house where she was entertained, ia bright boy who called her Mademoiselle, my mamma. There wa3 no concealment whatever. Fash ionable London was at her feet. It was amply demonstrated that fashionable En glish society does not really respect the customs which it professes to hold essential.

The sanctity of marriage becomes more and more a thing for the poor and ignorant like orthodoxy.

I I Sarah Bernhardt is a woman of real genius, I believe her to be a woman of heart, and that she has obeved her heart in these mat-1 ters wherein it is said to be more holy to obev custom. I can understand how the RTvlendor of erenius disolaved in her Phed re could hide a multitude of sins, even for the a rigidly risrbteous.

But what I have ob served her career among the aristocrats of Lomion leads me to feel that it is not through overlooking her sins or forgetting them, but, to some extent, because of them, that she has enioyed a brilliant apotheosis.

There is no better test a new system or scheme pf life than its re- lationto Christian marriage.

But universal adoption would be the suicide of a race, and a race has no more right to commit suicide than a man. Besides, the damning of one of the most powerful streams in human nature only so hn wo pr nark' onvpr t.n hank's i was intended to nourish and to drain. It is too late to talk "about the superior sanctity of the celibate.

We have no faith in it whatever, lhe vow of chastity simply em phasizes in the mind the passion it is intended, for spiritual reasons, to suppress, and fixes the -attention upon it. The Sha ker, in denying love to himself and all the hallowed influences that grow out of family and gains nothing in holiness, if he do not lose irretrievably. He is the victim ao vuv axsvaiu nnA a himself and his own father and mother by his gross views of an institution before whose purity and beneficence he and his whole system stand condemned. ii Otooi mr.AoTrM.eA Of course we do not need to allude to the Mormon. His views of marriage revealed, of course are simply beastly.

But these new schemes of life, religion and philosophy, are constantly springing up. It- is very difficult for any system 01 socialism to establish itself without tampering with marriage, and one of the best arguments against all sorts of communities and phalan steries and what-nots of that sort is that the family, as a unit, is unmanageable within them. They can take in and organize a miscellaneous mass of individuals and provide some. soit of a dirty substitute for but the family bothers them. It is a government within a government that they cannot get along with.

So the mar riage test is a good one in all cases ot the kind. William Drummond. E. Dodson in Richmond Religious Herald. William Drummond was the first Gov ernor of Carolina.
