Free Love.

The system of Free Love embraces quite
number of believers in the United States 1t
is kind of offshoot from the doctrines OF
Spiritualsm. but is not sanctioned by the
majority of Spiritualsts. The principle up
on which the system is founded is, that there
are certain natural atiinities between per
sons of the two sexes and that those who
mutually possess those afiinities should live
together, the marriage tie being wholly ig-
nored or disregarded The tracing of these
atiinities runs into the grossest details, but,
it being determined that mentally and phys
ically the parties, in any given instance, are
fitted for each other, they are at liberty to
be mated to their hearts content. If by any
oversight or mistake, they find that they are
not fitted, they are at liberty to part and fol-
low some new fancy.
This doctrine of free love was substantial
ly advanced by Swedenborg and Fourier,
and is still entertertained by the disciples
of those men, although they have no alhlia-
tlon with Spiritualism. Fourier believed in
a communism of property as well as of wives
Fouriersm is therefore even worse than Nor
monism, for the latter by no means allows
the promiscuous intercourse of the sexes.
These doctrines thus advanced by men of such
pure and spotless lives, (for Swedenborg and
Fourier were undoubtedly as virtuous in
character as any moralist who ever existed
in any age or country,) have done very much
to iniure the integrity of society, and TO
corrupt the morals of the reading world.
Their intentions were good, but the effects
of their teachings have been bad. They
erred in supposing that all men were pure
like themselves, and thought that, if all re-
straints were thrown off, true love and affec-
ton would regulate the intercourse of the
sexes. On the contrary, it only serves to
unbridle the passions and to give loose reins
to licentiousness of the grossest character.
1t has been well remarked by writer on
this subject, that three of the purest men the
world ever saw, and chiefly so in point of the
one great virtue of chastity have been the
most eloquent advocates of the unlicensed
and promiscuous intercourse of the sexes,
system more abhorrent to the Christian NOR.
alist than any other which could possibly be
conc aived Of These three were Swedenborg
and Fourier in modern times, and Plato in
the ancient. Plato did not hesitate to ad-
vance the opinion that the happiest and best
condition of society would be one in which
property was all held in common and where
no man would know his own children
Such are the vagaries of even the greatest
and purest of minds

TAXES ON BAoHELoRs.-Harper's Weekly

TAXES ON BAcuELoRs,-Harper's Weekly
says:
A resolution has been introduced into the
Legislature of Virginia inquiring into the
expediency of taxing bachelors, as SUCH
There is precedent for the measure. In the
Republic of Sparta, bachelors were not only
taxed. but were subjected to various painful
disabilities and annoyances At Athens and
Rome the laws looked with equal distayor on
celbaev; and though there was no whipping
of naked bachelors through the streets, the
taxes were so adjusted that miserable males
who had no children paid more than their
share. The same principle is recognized bty
the laws of France and Germany at the
present day bachelors are liable to military
service where married men are exempt
