parental feelings and its papsbe sity in point OF fact
could the authority of Parents their children be
more explicitly disavowed s rghtfulness more dis

guage than that OF the extract given above Most GER
tainy the system OF Association If carried into iul
effect would completely destroy all such authority and
guidance. Parents. il Is perfectly clear would cease TO
be the natural governors and instructors OF their chill
dren.
Reverting then, to the other branch Of the FAMILY
and drawing information from those writings Of
AssOclalOnlsts
US let what new form the coNJUSA relation is
to receive under this Social System. We are told
(page 2S) that the pecuniary dependency oil the wiie
upon the husband must be destroyed that woman in
her union with becomes a secondary being that
che looses her the liberty of her heart with its
sympsthies and affections-her right OF independent
action and that her dependence is very uniavorable
TO the iul and noble development Of the delicate and
romantic passion of love" These relations termed
0Basemsnts and in Association is asserted, that
woman develop her faculties and powers, and se-
quire fortune, distinction and renown by her efforts
and tslents She VIII then longer ask support al his
his hands she viii have no longer 10 barter synpalhes
with her liberty and Independence she viii scorn 10
upon bis industry. and VIII soon know how TO set bounds
10 his eNacons and preensions 10 uPeory page joo
To 90 farther it is sufficiently evident from these
passages that the relation of Husband and Wife what
ever IL may be- in Association will not be the relation
which exists. A wife II the term be then retain
3D. will keep her name, retain her liberty Of heart
and OF action and be IA short entirely independent Of
her husband in al respects. VIII that De- the relation
recognized that Of husband and wife in the word OF
Godf VIII II be anything more than cOpartnefshlp
for certain purposes between the two great variety
Of questions naturally arise in this connection as 70 the
practical operations of the scheme propsed and all OF
Them distinctly answered in those writings OF the
Associations,s' 10 which we have been referred BY
Tie Tribune for a solution OF our difficulties The sys-
is perfect in all its parts, and all It's details have
been fully elaborated 10y its original author But this
branch OF the subject we shall leave for the present

now presented that ia Association the FAMILY even II II

suit IL is part and most essential part Of the system
dsinoi lily contemplated and aimed At by IL PROFOUND
and advocates. Thus 10 revert 10 the Wrlungs ~

and so in almost every page OF these writings well
in The Tribune the Isolated household Is constant
y sssaed and told that Association must absorb
it, The FAMILY Is % BE- rplaced b. Mes J0iHisi0es Con-
pansos We do not intend now TO argue against the pro
prety OF such radical change in society as this but
simply make clear and plain the ao that such result
is sought and If Association succeeds will be reached
THE SUCCESS or ASSOCIATION WILL INVOLVE THE DE-
srRUCTIoN TIE FAMILY.
The length to which this article has already extended
precludes a reference other points which we meant
10 notice. There is nothing. however IN the The tn
buRes article which needs farther reply II sets forth
the hitieih time, the existing evils oil society 70
which nothing need be said, except that Association
would increase them ten fod-snd repeats the argu-
ment drawn from the joint associations and bene
violent societies OF the present day-which was fully an
swered in our last article upon this subject The n
