Etta June Echoes. Etta Jane, July IT.?Mr. Editor: Wo wish to correct a mistake which occurred in our last week's, letter and which does not fully represent us or our views. The mistake was ours?not yours, and we assume all the responsibility. In rewriting the articlo we omitted ono word interlined in tho original manuscript which did the work. jQBRrf In speaking of ministers, in ig st rites, notaries an J other officials who simply pronouuec the ni:iiri?ge ceremony in the case of minors, we did not intend to mako the sweeping charge that they all sh mUl be in ihe chain gang, unless they, in some way, aided. abctte;! or connived at such unlawful luarringe. Wo g.vc the paragr iph as it should have appeared iu print, and by its sen?imunt we are ready to be judged, ilore it : "It's no \v? n !? :tiiM s.t r. l??--s.* of tlio nupHa! vow is m 't i!.* iv|ra?il?-?I when a ill?< i'itfiil lover or nitwit niiiklii^ tc<)?MP|?ci's tli'voy n.i iiiiioociiL <1:l.-l t ruis !'s h;l|'l'.v IhiiiU1 ami roMtiml it to winwry < t , ,,> worst nutl must tlf^iatliiiif i'liaiwctor t ir ooti: time ar.<l l.li.rniiv iiivt.lv l.v . . ... ?vov viti (this word was omitted in furnished u*. lie.'niK-ia!, w hose proper pl?r. < is liie cliuiu to repe.it the ceroiu .?/ that makes them m tn stml w iio." Now we know full wel1, or bcli"ve. that goo I designing officials of all r>iiiks iuvo pronounced the rnirriage eetornony, in which minors were parties to the contract when they had the hc.it of motives in so doing. They perhaps know that the par tics were running away, were under ago, and all that, but fe!t that the sooivr *o:n" one would "tie the knot" the sooner they w-?u! 1 return home, and with that view and fe ling inno- : cenliy did the w ok. hut we liave heird of oases in which the officiating minister, magis- , trate or other ollicer were obliged to O ?. have gone out of their way to cn { courage this match-making, which they had no legal right to do. These are the fellows wc are striking at, and <?nly those. The up to date catechism starts olT with this question and answer. "(^ues. What is the chief end of man ? Ans.
