After Man bad been tried and condemned
for robbery and murder, and sent with the
usual Russian clemeucy to the mines Of
Oukboul, Olga Dsyidof could not bear to
i've any longer at Tobolsk. II was partly
terror, partly shame, partly pride; but To
bolsk or even st. Petersburg she felt to be
henceGorth utterly impossible for her.
So she determined to go back to her kins-
folk in that dear old qniet England, where
there are no Sihilists, and no Tsrtars, and
DO exiles, and where everybody lived so
placidly and demurely. She looked back
now upon The Laurels, Claphsm, As the
ideal home Of repose and happiness.
Il was not at Chaplain, however, that
Madame MAJ las she still called HERSELF
settled down, but in . quiet little Kentish
village, where the London branch Of the
Dayids family had retired to spend their
Russian money.
Frank Dayids, the son Of the house, was
Olga's second cousin; and when Olga hsd
taken the pretty little ~rose-coyered cottage
at the end of the village, Frank DaVids
found few things more pleasant in life than

placid existence, Olga DaYidof began at

that one great horror. Stamped as it was

times for an hour or " she even Vsntured

PROFANIEG THE MARRIAGE BEN
EDIOTION.
detroit Free Press.l

Detroit Free Press.
II may be untrue that a certain clergy
man advertised, Marriages a specially;
strangers particularly invited" but we
fear the story was founded on fact" and
there might have been added the words:
''No questions asked" Some ministers
are altogether too ready to declare va
grant couples husband and wife.
The clergyman does not really marry
couple; he simply pronounces them mar
ried. As a recognized interpreter of
Gods law he declares that, by virtue of
the vows which they have made in his
presence, they have entered into the di-
vinely ordained relation of wedlock; that
upon the union they have formed Gods
blessing may be expected, and upon it he
invokes the divine benediction.
Now, in order that he may properly do
this, he must have full reason to believe
that they have spoken those vows under
standingly and conscientiously, that they
are acting intelligently and in the fear OF
God
If either of the parties has a married
partner already, if either one is intOxicat-
ed, so as not to know what is being done,
or is too young To appreciate the impor-
lance OF the step which is taken, ii the
couple have met each other but two
hours before at circus or picnic, and,
with no true knowledge of each other,
have posted off to the minister's house
to get married, their proposed alliance is
but profane caricature of the divine in
stitution.
The clergyman is untrue to his calling
as teacher of religion to declare that
such union is the sacred marriage re-
lation which God has established; and it
is profanity in him to ask God to bless
such an alliance The minister becomes
a sharer in the guilt of the parties when
he makes himself an accessory to their
ill-advised and reprehensible covenant.
1t is not necessary that in each case
the alliance shall be just such one as
the clergyman himself would have sug-
gested. Though he may think the par
ties might have done better, he may still
cOncede that they are acting conscien-
tiously and with some degree of intelli-
gence, and he can properly ask God to
bless their union. In the case of utter
strangers, if it does not seem better to
send them back to their own pastor, or
some other minister who knows them, il
may be sufficient if his closest question
ing develops nothing to give him reason
to suspect that their proposed union is
not such one as God has promised TO
bless.
But it is the rankest simOny when for
the sake of a pitiful fee minister formal
ly sanctions as holy marriage an alliance
which he knows, or by inquiry might
know, viii result in evil instead of good
We would not say that, in all cases, OF
even in many, the minister does give his
services simply for the sake of the fee. II
is oftener through thoughtlessness or q
shrinking from the not very pleasant
duty OF subiecting the parties to close

all about them. But ministers owe the
duty to society, to the friends of the APP
plicants, and to the applicants them.

blessing on a union which cannot be

DOCTORS AND DOCTORING.
A Few Words ofAdvice to People Who
Are Inclined to Medication.
Is the Science of Medicine a "Barbarous
Jargon?"

JargOn?'
London Truth
Do we believe in doctors? Whether
we do or not, We generally send for them
when we are ill. Still, if l were asked
my opinion, l should say the profession
is largely over-crowded. Physic is huge
ly overdone. Half the complaints peo-
ple-especially idle people-suffer from
are imaginary.
do not deny that men and women
get i'll, and occasionally die, but 1 hold
that, in vast number of cases, doctor
is unnecessary at first, and quite helpless
at least-that is, so far as his physic is
concerned, and have pretty good author
ity for what l say.
Sir William Jenner has the courage to
declare that "the science of medicine is a
barbarous jargon-every dose OF medicine
is blind experiment" When the great
Majendie assumed the Professors Chair
of Medicine at the College of France, he
thus addressed the astonished students:
Gentlemen, medicine is hunbug Who
knows anything about medicine? l tell
you frankly, don't. Nature does good
deal; doctors do very little-when they
don't do HARM" Majendie went on to
tell the following pungent little profes-
sional tale out of school:
"When l was head physician at the
Hotel Dieu 1 divided the patients into
three sections. To one | gave the regula-
ton dispensary medicine in the regula-
ton way; to another / gave bread, milk
and colored water, and to the third sec
ton | gave nothing at all. Well, gen.
tlemen, every one of the third section
got well. Nature invariably CAME to the
rescue"
Now, OF course, we must allow some
thing for the obtrusive candor OF profess
sional confession-which is always apt to
overleap the mark and give the opponent
few more points than he asks for, really
for the sake of placing him at disadvan-
tage. Still there is truth in the candid
jest, if jest it be; and the truth is this
The doctor is often superfiuous, some
times mischievous, and occasionally fatal.
