OF course if the colored men in this
country like to be called "Afro-Americans
lere is no serious objection TO gratifying
them. It is a little singular, however, that
they should like it. None of them, so far
as we know, take any particular pride in
their African ancestry which is for the
most of them exceedingly remote There
is not a corporals guard of colored men in
the country whose fathers, or prandfathers
even, were born in Africa. But there is
no accounting for tastes.

THERE is sound religion as well as
sound sense in the decision Of the United
States Supreme Court, denying habeas
corpus to a Mormon who plead the rules
of his church in bar Of prosecution for
bigamy. The court holds that polygamy
is a crime, and that the constitutional pro
vision guaranteeing freedom Of religion
is not intended to prevent the punishment
of any person who, in the name
of religion, commits a crime in the eyes
Of the Law.

seems. is in the sulks, and is likely to stay
there until William expresses contrition
for his forwardness in desiring to rule his
own domain, or until the old man con-
cludes that he himself was too fresh and
steps up and apologies.

The Magazines.

DEMOREST's FAMILY MAGAZINE con-
tains an article of interest on "Snow-
shoeing," in which instructions are
given as to forming club, etc. Another
valuable article, which will appeal to
the artistic, is that on Modelling for
Sculpture" which has numerous aud
beautiful illustrations, including SUI
perb, full-page portrait of the eminent
American sculptor Hartley. "Sage
Maidens of Cornell University" is
written by one of these msidens. An
illustrated Chinese story is particularly
interesting, and the other stories are
all good.
THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW
contains several articles of much inter-
est on political, social and literary
themes. General N. A. Miles writes
on THE Future of the Indian Cues
tion," the hstorion w. E. II Lecky on
Ireland in the Light of History"
William j. Rolfe on "A Witness for
William Shakespeare" Henry Clews
on "The Late Financial Crisis"
Henry Cabot Lodge on "The Restric-
ton of immigration" and Max O'Rell
on Some "reminiscences of American
Hotels" The magazine announces ar
ticles in succeeding numbers by Justin
Mccarthy and Mr.. Parnell on Irish
matters. These will undoubtedly be
of great interest.
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING changes from
fortnightly to monthly publication
and some alterations in the makeup
are made, although the general plan is
the same that has given this excellent
periodical its high standing not only
throughout New England, but in the
middle and western states. On the
whole, the departure is probably wise
one. Certainly the appearance of the
publication is greatly improved, al
though it has always been neat and at
tractive. The contents of the January
number are varied and interesting
Miss Payloa describes "Ten Mornings
in the Kitchen" and other helpful ar
ticles are 1.-The Cost of Living, =" On
the ms allment Plan, :" "The Chinese
as House Servants" " On the Mutual
Benefit Plan," and " A Reconstructed

tells what Good housekeeping did for
one household. The story of the num-

who gives Ga true sketch " of " little
terror" named " Bobby" Miss Hans
CONS stories are ALWAYS bright and en-
tertaining, alw Tvs differentiated from
the conventional story by her touch of
originality, and this is no exception.
Good Housekeeping is mine of pleas

invaluable to home-makers.

The Highest View of Marriage.

The highest view of marriage is this
1t is an ordinance of God. If it be an
ordinance of God, then the laws of God
must regulate it, Then man has DO
right to egislate with regard to it. The
only right man has is to enforce the
laws of God relative to marriage. SIT
is God who joins together, and man has
no right to put asunder." The social
malaria of these times is false idea of
marriage, and the consequent curse of
the day is easy divorce. But every
strand that is cut in the sacred bond of
wedlock loOsens the fabric of both So
ciety and the church. Every divorce
breeds practical polygamy throughout
the states as abominable as that prac-
ticed in the territory of Utah. The
highest view of marriage is this: 1t is
one of the foundation pillars of our
nation. Our social life is putting al
the forces of Christian civilization to
the test, and in this test we can see that
if our boasted institutions of Amer
can liberty are to be perpetuated, we
must have better families at the founda-
ton of all. The family is the gem
of all other institutions. The school,
the college,, the town, the city, the
state, are, after all, but modified tyres
of the family. Professor Adams of
Johns Hopkins University, says; The
family, Oldest of all institutions, perpet-
ually reproduces the ethical history of
man, and continually reconstructs the con-
stitution of society,"" The late DR.. Null
ford, author of that grand book en-
titled "The Nation," says: "Sociol-
ogy is the coming science, and the
family holds the key to it," Let me
ask, What of the family in the Ameri-
can republic? That, | hold, is one of
the burning questions before the
American people to-day. 1t used to be
a saying in the old Roman empire
''When the Coliseum falls, Rome falls. -
With equal trueness it may be said in
our land, When the purity of the
marriage relation falls, America falls. y
The highest view of marriage is the
view which looks upon marriage as a
duty. | have always admired the first
sentence with which Oliver Goldsmith
opens his " Vicar of Wakefield" II
reads thus-and Goldsmith puts il:
words into the lips of the young clergy
man who is the hero of the book; g
was ever of the opinion that the honest
man who married, and brought up Z
large family of children, did more serv
ice for his country than he who con
tinued single and only talked of pop
ulation. From thik motive l haC
