mother: "If my son take a wife from

Is, then, right that a mother ahou.J be

PBACTlCAt BBFLEnnONB,
T!ie necessity for marriage lies in the
constitutional diff.renoe! between tho
s-xes. That this ooostltotlonal differ
ence, Wnlcp is, of ooorst, of divine ori
gin, has divini pnrposi's. 'L'iiesi divine
purposes are lueulioneliu OOnneOtion
with the creation of pun an l woman,
namely: Mutual, reciprocal end loving
companionship "I will nuke nun a

joyous and ennobling, Th, equality
of the two, is implied in loving com
panionship, which their sacred rela
tion! IcHpeak.
Our divine purpose tu the different!
tlon of the sexes, is tilt maintenance of
tho race. This is Uod'S plan. Not
creation, but propagition, U the dl-
vinn order,
This, again, Implies tha nurture, the
instruction and the training of the
Ohildrea brought into the world. These
duties ennuo; bo properly perform .d

Thus wo see the UUSpnikgUl imporl

the divine mission of marriage.
HOW cmi tkese MiOftd relatlOttl be

Again, the relation of tho ''marriage
question'1 to society r.veals its ur.
speakable importance. The family uu l

state. Without marriage and the re

B to Say that th Statement was un
warranted and ud just, na well as un

was not Inspected by Major Whitney
until last Monday evening, so" ! nerds-
man''oould not have possibly known
the standing ot Company E to orltl-
cise its kuovled;;ei of guard for

In ths second place Major
Whitney in his impiotiOO last Monday
eveuiug, found tne aentlnell were
posted in the knowledge of guard aud
general orders, and they, on tne whole,
compare favorable with any of tho
Scran too companies, Qnardsman
should be careful in criticising tin mer

confine himself to facts. Were it not
for the fact that the term llnneedale
