Love Tests on Midsummer Eve

Perhaps no subject has been more closely linked to superstition than the triple one mf love, courtship, and marriage. On Mid summer Eva, or the Eve of St John the Baptist, special facilities were afforded the anxious lover in the way of ascertaining what frite had in store, and in many places throughout th» country the memory of curious custom? survives. One of the com monest of these customs, s»ys the Gem, isems to have been thab of gathering certain Sowers and plants which were believed to have magical properties. Principal among these were St John's wort, trefoil, vervain, the rose, and rue ; and the author of " The Book of Bjys " says it was common to set the orpine in clay upon pieces of slate or potsherd, and call it a Midsummer man. As the stalk was found next) morning to incline to the right or left, the anxious maiden knew.whether her lover would prove true to her or not.—Home paper.

A Jewish Rabbi on Marriage.

There an two bladei of grass exactly Alike; and there aia no two human beings •Xaotly alike. Therefore the experience of any one individual, says a Jewish Rabbi, cannob be taken as a criterion for the actions of any other. There can be no universal specific that oan apply to all people alike ; end there caa be no theory regarding the subject of marriage which will be applicable to all people. The experiences of any one individual must be different in many respects from the experiences of other individuals in social and domestic life.

Thus we must guard against) having too h;gh or too Sow an estima'o of marriuge. Marriage was not instituted by any human law, aud I doubt whether any law can ever fee enacted by man which will abolish mar riage. All discussions about the abolition of marriage are in vain, for it is certain that with the downfall of marriage would come discontent, revolution, aDd anarchy.

Love alone gives sanctity to the marriage bond* It takes the most important institu tion of our civilisation out of the jurisdiction of man, and places it within the province of divine law. Love is nob the hw of man, but ofGosl.

Upon this basis of conjugal love there can be no discussion of timriti&l duties, There ought not to be any discussion as to duties between husband and wife. Duties tnenn laws,'and lawn are only for those who are not guided by love. Laws are necessary only because men are moved by selfish motives.

The highest ideal of marriage is based npoo the equality of the sexes. There must be do surrander of individuality in the marriage state. Marriage means rather the bland ing of two individualities, inspired by love sad consideration of each for the other. True lotc will not deaire the abolition ot individuality, but will rather uphoiu it. Each will strive to further the aims and ambitions of the others. There is no more beautiful relationship on earth than thai: of two brings, guided by love and respect, who steadfastly uphold each other's individual ity. This is cot possible, except upoa the basis of absolute equality. Many women cease to develop immediately after marriage, and begin to deteriorate lntelleoiually and sometimes morally. Their lives beoome cemmonplaoe and their work becomes drudgery. The only way by which this can be prevented is by insisting that both mkn and woman shiil continue to dorelof and improve as diHgvntly after marrtage as before.

For days at a time I used to be in agony with pain in the region of the stomach, and all the medicinos I tried gave me no relief. I was attended by the doctor for some time, with bo permanent result. Being advised to take your Botanic Remedy, lam pleased to •ay I acted on this advice, and Ono Bottle has made a complete change in me. My friends (the doctor included) are all remark' ing about the wonderful improvement in my appearance, and I cm honestly recommend Flantekoa to all who suffer as I have done.

Dear Birs,—l am writing to Inform you that I have used your Piantekoa Ointment with most gratifying results. About five months ago I had the misfortune to get my hand caught in the door of the guard's van at the Lower Hutb Railway btatiom My thumb was badly crushed; and in a few hours it was terribly swollen and as black at my hab. Some of my friends stated that ill would be necessary to have my thumb taken off, and I thought myself that I would require surgical aid. Having your Piantekoa Ointment in the House (we always keep it), I had my thumb bandaged with it, continu ing the application for several days. The result was astounding. In a fortnight it was completely healed, and aa Bound as it was before the accident.
