MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.

DIR. parlshurst on the Tendency to Degrade
Marriage TO the Level of Commerce.
II cannot dismiss this matter without
deprecatiug the tendency SO conspiou
ously operative among us to degrade
marriage to the level of commerce, 80
writes the Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst,
ID. d., in The Ladies' Home journal in
paper on The Young Man and Mar
riage. This is not denying that there
are material considerations that in this
matter, as in all others, require to be re.
spected. A poor young man marrying a
poor young girl, with only the prospect
that their life will become more and
more complicated as time goes ON, is a
fool. | have had affectionate couples
wait upon me to be married and then
ask me to trust them for the wedding
Zee. / think that we who arc clergymen
ought to refuse to marry applicants who
cannot show TO our satisfaction that
there is no likelihood that either they
or their possible offspring will ever
como upon the town.
Nor, on the other hand, does ny
objection lie against any amount Of
contingent assets with which either OF
both of the contracting parties may
chance to be endowed. Ny only contan-
tion is that in every marriage not es-
sentlally unholy the basal element is
love, and that marriages which arc ar
ranged, marriages which mean, first
of all, an affair of perquisites on "a bar
ter in commodities, arc distinct in
fraction upon the spirit of the seventh
commandment The voluminous dis.
plays with which we know such unions
to be sometimes celebrated only nggra-
vate the mischief and operate 10 teCrh
