How the present sum of human
wrctchcducss has accumulated, clial-
lenges conjecture; but that it is per-
petuated by ill-assorted marriage is
sclf-evident. II the peopling of the
planet could be begun again, COM
parative contentment might be Sc
cured tothe race by proper sexual ad-
justment. 1t is all the pleassnter to
contemplate what might be, for the
reason that the possibility must be
hypothetical, and the deductions
made to match the hue Of our per-
ccptions. Still, as mistakes arise
from ignorance, and produce misery,
whatever tends to prevent mistakes
should be hailed with exultation.
To marriage, many of us owe what
we ought not to be, and would not
DO. could we help it. If we who arc
born out of parallel with nature,
could have prevailed upon some of
our anccstors-perhaps not very re-
mote-to have found each other out
before instead of after marriage,
what incalculablc gamers we should
have been! We are wiser than they,
of course, and might have given them
valuable counsel; for, il not i'll ad-
vance of our own, we are certainly
in advance of their time. That our
advice was not asked respecting
their connubial intentions, is purely
our mischance. But then it is the
same rs to our advent into being.
One of the inalienablc and umattai',.
able rights of every child is to decide
for itself whether it wants to be born
or not; and the establishment of this
right will be the exodium to tie mil
lennium of individuality. The close
companionship Of some of our fore
fathers aud forcmothers would have
enhanced our contemporaneous sat
isfaction, or, which might have been
still better, have kept us in chaos
Life in itself is not desirable, and
with an unhappy temperament, and
surroundings which we have moi
the power to change, is infinitel,
worse than 10 life at all. Since W.
are not in a position to have com
pelled the intimate anti-matrimonia
acquaintance of our predecessor, WI
