NEW MARRIAGE VOW.
"ETHICAL" WEDDING IN A DRAWING-KOOM

The bride's mother, considered the civil ceremony before the regis trax very cold and soulless, and so a compromise was decided upon, the civil contract at the registry office in the morning being followed by the ethical marriage service at the bride's own home on Saturday afternoon list.

A NEW ERA.
From the inceptios in 1867 of the negotia- tiens leading up to the establishment of the Dominion of Canada, the writor dates a change.
The stagnant waters of the Colonial Of began to be stirred by an occasional breath of life; and the advent in 1871 of Sir Robert (then Mr.) Herbert sa Permanent Under- Secretary may. I think. be regarded as the beginning of a new era. By this time tele- graphic communication had been established with the Eastern Celonies, Australia, and thin West Indies, though the linking up of South Africa still some years distant.
