work OF the architects and builders. and who Is
thoroughly familiar with the important details Of
the Immense undertaking, says: 1T Is believed to
be particularly important a; this juncture that
every efor: should be made to strengthen the
educational institutions on this side Of the East
River. and especially for the reason that legisla-
ton radically affecting the city OF BROOKLYN Ia
proposed at Albany. The city II Philadelphia ha,

Marriage and Divorce.

One of the greatest dangers which
menace the home to-day are the Woe
fully lax views of the solemnity and
Importance of marriage vows, and the
circumstances leading up to the con-
summation of marriage ceremonies.
These lax views. at the outset, endan-
ger the happiness of all the future.
The easy means of obtaining divorces
at the present time is responsible in a
measure for the light manner in which
matrimony is looked uOpn. The in
crease of divorces to the number of
marriages is assuming alarming pro-
portions. In this matter the Roman
church takes stated ground which is
worthy of emulation.-Rev. r. f. Hol-
