You will be marrying some one without their knowledge one of these days if you don’t repent. Wilhelmina, having been so badly left by Emil in this case, has evidently determined to be a little more previous hereafter, as the same day her case was disposed of she was licensed to marry one John Stebbe.

Ths July number of the North American Review bears the usual characteristics of timeliness. Carl Schurz leads of with a suggestive paper on “Present Aspects of the Indian Problem,” in which he discusses the Indian obstacle in the way of the country’s development, the harmonizing of the habits, occupations and interests of the red men, the necessity of educating their youth, the making of the men themselves small land proprietors, and the offering of inducements to them to sell for a fair compensation the lands they do not cultivate. Next a caustic writer gives the views of “A Yankee Farmer” on “Religious Conflicts of the Age,” to the discomfiture of the modern agnostic, moralist, and evolutionist. Another trenchant article is •‘The Power of Public Plunder.” by James Parton, which appeals to the sons of our taen of character and wealth, on patriotic grounds, to enter into politics, and become the safeguards of their country against rings and bosses. Mr. Henry George dwells on “The Common Sense of Taxation.” “The Cost of Cruelty” is presented by Mr. Henry Bergh, and “A Study of Tennyson” comes from the pen of Mr. Richard Henry Stoddard. Haunted Me.—A workingman says: “Debt, poverty and suffering haunted me for years, caused by a sick family and large bills for doctoring, which did no good. I was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by the advice of my pastor, I procured Hop Bitters and commenced their use, and in one month we were all well, and none of us have been sick a day since; and I want to say. to all poor men, you can keep your families well a year with Hop Bitters for less than one doctor’s visit will cost.”— [Christian Advocate,
