I self. for common school purposes. The unseemly discussion which a a certain class of newspapers have been making a conspicuous feature in their columns of late of the quostlon, •‘Is marriage a failure?” is simply a fresh breaking out of the old and nau- seous social malady of "free love." It is amazing that any editor who has either any regard for the reputability of his journal or any respect for tho welfare of society should countenance the dis cussion of so grave a theme In the reckless and flippant style and manner in which it is treated by the olass of shallow and inconoclastio writers who, in their anxiety to air their immoral sophistications, delight to exhibit their contempt for those things and institu tions which reasonable and good men deem too sacred to be assailable. Tho man or woman who seriously asks tho question “Is marriage a fail ure?” is obviously disqualified, by a lack of eit.ior virtuous or proper ex perience, or of intelligent or thought ful conviction, from answering or even discussing tho question at all, tho very asking of it being almost proof posi tive that the one asking it is of the affirmative way of thinking, and that ho or she is of that way of thinking because of experiences, observations xJr ■theories that are at least superficial, but more probably the resultants of the individual folly or viciousness of a depravod nature. A married life that has proved a failuro because the parties to the contract have had neither sense enough, mutual forbearance enough nor morality enough to be faithful to its obligations is not a just sample of the marital Institution, is not a fair illustration of modern domesticity, is not an exponent of the aver- ago family condition of civilized society. It is exceptional nnd abnormal. A true man and a true woman, entering into the relations of man and wife with rational delibera tion, with genuine affection, and with high and pure motives, do not find marriage a failuro. They know what they aro about before they enter into the intimate and sacrod partnership. It is on their part not a matter of im pulse, of emotion, of money, nor of passion, but of mutual and reciprocal affection, guided and consummated by the dictates of reason and of a thought ful anticipation of all the possibilities and all the contingencies that are in volved in tho solemn compact. Such matchos aro made in hoaven, are heav enly in their lifolong continuance, and extend beyond this life into heaven itself. Marriage is a failure only when ths man or tho woman is a failure in his manhood or in her womanhood. It is never a failure when the man and ths woman are true to themselves and to each other. It is never a failure where the feeling and the motive and the purpose are right It is nevor a fail ure where true love and honor are th« links of unity. It is never a failure where good sense and good principle lead to and control the relationship.
