Sight Mo Foolish Fancy.
In the course of an entertaining article
in the Fortnightly Review, Grant Allen
says:
An ancient and famous human institu
tion is in pressing danger. Sir George
Campbell has set his face against the time
honored practice of falling in love. Pa
rents innumerable, it is true, have set their
faces against it already from immemorial
antiquity; but then they only attacked the
particular instance, without venturing to
impugn the institution itself on general
principles. An old Indian administrator,
however, goes to work in all thing; on a
different pattern. He would always like
to regulate human life generally as a de
partment of the Indian office; and so Sir
George Campbell would fain have hus
bands and wives selected for one another
(perhaps on Dr. Johnson’s principle by the
lord chancellor) with a view to the future
development of the race, in the process of
which he not very felicitously or elegantly
describes as “man-breeding.” “Proba
bly,” he says, os reported in Nature, “we
have enough physiological knowledge to
fall in love with their own first cousins.
Ainong exogenous tribes such an instinct
(aided, ot course, by other extraneous
causes), has hardened into custom; and
there is reason to believe (from the
universal traces among the higher civiliza
tions ot marriage by capture) that all the
leading rrces of the world are ultimately
derived from exogamous ancestors,possess
ing this healthy and excellent sentiment..

posite tends to keep true the standard of
the race; t hey have not. perhaps, so gen
erally observed that it also indicates
roughly the existence in either individual
ot a desire for its own natural comple-
ment. It is difficult here to give definite
examples, but everybody knows bow, in
the subtle psychology of falling in love,
there are involved innumerable minor ele
ments. physical and mental, which strike
us exactly because of their absolute adap
tation to form with ourselves an adequate
union. Of course we do not definitely
seek out and discover such qualities; in
stinct works far more intuitively than
that; but we find at last, by subsequent ob
servation, how true and how trustworthy
were its immediate indications. That fs
to say, those men do so who were wise
enough or fortunate enough to follow the
earliest promptings of their own hearts

if we could only apply that knowledge to

about love and the tastes of young people,
whom we can hardly trust to choose their
own bonnets, much less to choose in a
graver matter in which they are most
likely to be Influenced by frivolous preju
dices.” He wants us, in other words, to
discard .he deep-seated inner physiological
promptings of inherited instinct and to
substitute for them some calm and dispas
sionate but artificial selection of a fitting
partner as the father or mother of future
generations.
Now, this is of course a serious subject,
and it ought to be treated seriously and
reverently. But it seems to me Sir George
Campbell’s conclusion is exactly the oppo
site one from the conclusion now being
forced upon men of science by a study of
the biological and psychological elements

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
The writer argues his point at consider
able length and in conclusion says:
1 do not doubt that, as the world goes
on, a deeper sense of moral responsibility
in the matter of marriage will grow up
among us-. But it will not take the false di
rection of ignoring these, our profouudest
and holiest instincts. Marriage for money
may go; marriage for rank may go; mar
riage for position may go; but marriage for
love, I believe and trust, will last forever.
Men in the future will probably feel that
a union with their cousins or near rela
tions is positively wicked; that a union
with those too like them in person or dis
position is at least undesirable; that a
union based upon considerations of wealth
or any other consideration save consider
ations of immediate natural impulse, is
base and disgraceful. But to the end of
time they will continue to feel, in spite of
doctrinaires, that t lie voice ■ f nature s

dead man was an architect, builder and
carver of inscriptions, having control of

The tomb was very comfortably furnished
with linen chests, painted jars, st.atue.ts

contained two sledges for the transport of
mummies and sarcophagi.

WARRANTY OF HUMAN NATURE.
Brothers and sisters have more in com
mon, mentally and physically, than any
other members of the same race can pos
sibly have with one another. But nobody
falls in love with his sister. A profound
instinct has taught even the lower races
of men (for the most part) to avoid such
union of the all but identical. In the
higher races the idea never so much as
occurs to us. Even cousins seldom fall in
love—seldom, that is to say, in comparison
with the frequent opportunities oi inter
course they enjoy relatively to the remain
der of general society. When they do, and
when they carry out their perilous choice
effectively by marriage, natural selection
soon avenges nature npon the offspring by
cutting off the idiots, the consumptives,
the weaklings and the cripples, who often
result from such consanguinous marriages.
In narrow communities, where breeding in -
and-in becomes almost inevitable, natural
selection has similarly to exert itself upon
a crowd of cretins and other hapless mca-
pables. But in the wide and open chap -
paign countries, where individual choice
has free room for exercise, men and wo
men, as a rule (if not constrained by pa- j
rents and moralists), marry for love, and j
