What Kind of Girl Should a Younjf Lead to the Altar. LOVE IS THE GIFT OF THE LORO i:vils of Marrying Cousins Professor Connor, of the Institution Fos the Deaf, (lives Figures. When a young man falls in love anv resolves to get married 1 reeKon it is a good thing that he is reek less of the eonsequenees. 1 was. 1 know.for 1 novel thought of anything except the pretty girl r.nd how happy I would he to gel her. 1 had no thought of trouble or poverty or grief or war or death. The time was far. far away when the silver cord would he loosed and the golden howl he broken. As for the girl she is more reekless than her lover, even though her peril is far greater, for hers is to 1h? the pain and suffering the care and anxiety the night watehing and sometimes ihe broken heart, it is a mystery to ine how the mother endures it all and holds up her head and keeps her strength. Hut love for her offspring, maternal love, sustains her. It is the gift of God. There was a marriage in our town the other day. and as the crowds gathered at the ehureh our neighbor, Mrs. Felfon. stopped in the veranda to rest and see the buttle front afar. She was. as usual, in wry and say by turns - sometimes the tears were glistening in her eyes and s ton she laughed merrily and showed her pearly teeth. When the bridal earriago arrived she gave a material sigh and whispered, "Poor things, they little know what is ahead of them." Suddenly she hranelu <1 off into a story about her little pet mule eolt that is now her daily comfort. "It wat< lies me at the window," she said, "and when 1 go out it runs to me and lays its in ad on my arm and almost nr.isil"s in my bo: uu. Un.-vV In.,.I. ?...< .. . ... I-.

Hut what kind of a girl should a young man marry? of course, she must ho born of respectable parents, she should l>e virtuous, she shounl have a good, loving disposition and a fair education. She should be healthy and have no taint of her lover's ancestral blood in her veins. All of these qualiti< ?lions have been diseased and treated over and over again, e xcept the last. I am inspired to say something about that h cause its importance has long been overlook -d neither p vts t n* philosophers nor scientists have written upon it nor given any warning. A ( letter recently iv I front a young man in Mississippi asks if there is anything wrong in a man marrying his com in. Yes; very, very wr tig.

In 11' r - %. ,,.J NO. 23. of the marriages there were no ehildtvn born. Now. after one. two or three mutes have been horn in succession to parents, it would seem a sin, it' not a crime, for them to have more. The law should prohibit it. l?ut if this cannot bo done after marriage, the remedy for the future is to prohibit the intermarriage of cousins?yes. and second cousins. To be born deaf or blind is a sin at linst the ehild. and to have it supported l?y the state is a drain upon the treasury that might l?e avoided. lint being denf or blind is not all tho evil that follows thos > incestuous marMages. If the children are not doaf or blind they are generally under sorao physieal disability. They are consumptives or epileptics or idiotic, and pass through lire and leave no sign. Fortunately most of such marriages result in no progeny. "Oh. well." some say. "the Levitical law did not prohibit it." No. it did not. and 1 reckon that Cain married his sister. We know that Abraham married bis half sister, and no doubt that is why no children were born to them except one by grace in their old age. Hut it is said ttint the Roman laws and the laws of England permit such, marriages. Yes. the Roman law did until Pojie Alexander II stopped it and prohibited first, second and third cousins from intermarrying. 'I he laws of England permited such marriages because the kings and the nobility wanted to keep the crown and the titles and their estates in their families. And so our American people, who have patterned after English law and precedent for more than a hundred years, have been reluctant to make any change in this regard. Hut tin* question is now coming" tnj the front, an I the time is coming for a change. It seems now to he an establish-il ami universal rule that these marriages entail upon the offspring evil consemienci s. bodily or mentally, or both. The evil effect of what is call? I "breeding in" anion;; animals leads to the com lit: ion that it is an nniv al law. (loo I st.> U. blood d : t is not permitted in that way.
