marks on the subject Of hasty marriages +:
"There is not city, there is scarcely a
township, which does not number among
its inhabitants women who have married on
very short acquaintance, only to be abused,
deserted, and left burden and lifelong
sorrow to the families in which they were
born and reared, and which they most i'm.
prudently and improperly dese rtea to share
the fortunes of relative strangers. II ysung
ladies would realize how grossly indelcate,
as well as culpably reckless, such marriages
appear in the eyes Of the observing, they
surely would forbear. A years thorough
acquaintance, with the most circumstantial
accounts, from disinterested and reliable
witnesses, of the antecedents from child
hood. are the very least guarantee which
any woman who realizes xhat marriage is,
will require Of stranger. Even then. if
her parents are not fully satisfied as well as
herself, she should still hesitate. Marriage
is an undertaking in which no delay can be
so hazardous as undue precipitation.

~A little girl went to camp meeting,
and when she got home she said the sisters
in the various tents told her good many
things, and asked her questions about the
bible. On being pressed to state what they
told her, she said one thing they told her
was about Peter who swore three times
before he erowsd.'

e~When in respondent mood, look
on the good things which God has given
you in such bountiful profusion, and At the

dwell on the dark side Of things, but on

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is y constitutional disease, corruption OF the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
pervades the whole body. and may burst out
IN disease on any part OF it, No organ Is nee
from its attacks, nor is there one which 1t may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mereurial disease. low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food. impure air, nth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending :. from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation" indeed.
it seems to be the rod OF Him who says, 81
will visit the iniQuities of - fathers upon
their children F"t
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
rnption, which .cnders in the blood. depresses
the energies of iifc SO that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous CONF
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases Gconse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of tho consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scroiuleus contamination; and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys. brain,
and, indeed, OF all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause,
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction. and their health is undermined by II.
To cleanse It from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
