TALMAWEON MARRIAGE. The Brooklyn IHvIne Fire* a Shot at PolyRKiny-The Sad Coiiilltlon of Hint trim linn More than One Wife—Women Helping to Fill Club Itnoius* The Rev. T. DeWitt Titlniage, during a recent sermon at the Brooklyn Taber nacle, said: Away with the gross notion that marriage is a merely civil contract; it is a paradisiacal six-thou sand-years-old divine institution. All the laws since Biackstone or befo v e Blackstone can’t properly marry so liearts unless the Lord AlmigLt. has first married them. What are the foes, the bitter enemies, of the marriage rela tion? The lirst foe I discern is polyg amy. There arc now. in this country more people than ever who believe in polygamy. Some believe in it under another name; some practice it under no name. When it is asserted that the Bible sanctions polygamy or plurality of wives, there is not one Christian in five hundred thousand who cannot re fute the slnnder. The Bible recognizes polygamy just ns it recognizes all other styles of sin, but in no case sanctions it. Wiiorever in the Bible you find a man who has more than one wife you find him up to his neck in trouble. Solo mon says: “There is no good thing under the sun. Vanity ot vanities; all is vanity." Good for him! If ho had had 999 wives less lie would have taken a more cheerful view of tilings. God said: "I will make n helpmeet” for man. He did not eny helpmeets. If God had intended a plurality of wives, instead of taking one rib fiom Adam’s side He would have tak-n more, until Adam would not have had a rib left. Thin, how was it at the deluge? How many of each kind were there? Each man had ono wife. If polygamy hnd been right, they would have hnd twenty wives eacn, and thus have saved a mul titude from drowning. The history of the world shows unit the men nnd women have almost always been equal in number. Where there lias been any exception the women have been in the majority. The Bible is not moro thor oughly agninst theft, blasphemy and murder than it is against polygamy. Where polygnray exists there may bo a large Iiousg, a splendid house, but no home. Suppose twenty women tried to occupy the throne ot Victoria, how much prosperity would there bo in Eng land? Just ns much ns in nny home where more than ono wife tries to be queen. God intended woman to be man’s equal. But in polygamy that is impossible, becauso it presumes that it takes ion, twenty or thirty women to equal one man. All that poetry nbout man being the oak and woman the vine is flat, nnd stale, nnd untrue. In tens of tuousands ot cases, men who have mot commercial disaster, vrlio have gone homo discouraged, ready to § lve up the struggle, wishing they were ead, have found sympathy nnd en couragement in wives who have cheered nnd led them up to commercial pros perity. Who now the oak and who the ivy? I like tho ring of that New York merchant who, after declining a sub scription to a project he disapproved, said to tho applicant: “ You may call STRANGER THAN HCTION. Bad Inatancr* of ItriniUtlun to lie Been at lVnilkliiKtoiit The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Times writes: One name among the list of Territorial dele ft 1 ^ I will not mention. He was in the House for four yonrs, and from the time, he entered it until the expiration of his second term he was greatly re spected. lie was an exceptionally able man, a profound thinker, a chaste logi cian and a brilliant speaker. lie was college-bred, had spent years in foreign travel, was a lawyer and had been in many responsible official positions. He had been in the legislature of one of the Western Slates, and had been receiver of.public moneys nnd surveyor general. While in Congress ho lectured before church and scientific societies here, and no man in Congress was more generally respected. Would the reader like to know where this great man is now? He is still in Washington and about ns low in the human scale as it is possible for a mnn to be. He first beenmo the vic tim of a gambler, who was himself at one lime a distinguished member of Congress Irom a great Western Stale. Together they carried on what they called private club rooms, and there they fleeced their victims as they could catch them. They were frequently raided by the police, but they managed to get off; but they sunk lower and lower each year, until they finally got down to the lowest game of " policy." pp upon my wife; perhaps she mny take a dill' ‘ fl'erent view of the subject.” Such a beautiful thing as tliut could not have occurred in polygamy. Again, nil those entertainments which take men a majority of evenings from home are enemies of tho domestic relations. I make jin indiscriminate assault on clubs. Indeed, if I had no home, I should sock out the best club 1 could find and join it. But when a man likes any place better than his homo, look out for breakers. You can tell whether a man likes his homo by noting whether ho stays thero. But the aver age club house is tho foe to domestic life in New York and Brooklyn. Who people the club houstsP I an swer, in many cases, women. A woman is surprised that she has not so much attention paid to her now ns be fore marriage. Perhaps it would be diil'ereut if sho would tako as much pains to make herseli attractive as she did before marriage. That is whore women mako a mistake, when, because they are murried, they give up all those little arts which, though indescribablo, 5 o to make up womanly attractiveness. 'oo many women make their charms a net for making one haul. After they have made one haul they throw the net away. Before marriage you played like Thalberg or’Gottschalk; now you can not play atjili. Ilow do you spend your evenings? Is it complaining about the servants P Do you put your husband in an inlantfolass ot which you urc tho profeBsorP You ought to mako home a small lioavcn for your husband’s per turbed spirit. Unwise, fretful, jealous women have filled one-half of the club houses.of America. Lot the women of this country read newspapers and books, if only ten minutes a day. Let them study the questions of the hour, arid be able to hold a good stout political argument' Then home will be the club house to which many moro will Hock. One in telligent woman has more attractiveness than twenty intelligent men. Another great foe of domestic life is easy divorce. How many enter the marriage relation recklessly P In France the laws were made easy for divorce, and there were 20 000 divorces in a year in Paris. Thero were 48,000 children carried into the foundling hospital and kindred institutions—48,000 foundlings in a year! When law lets down the bnrs, all the cattle of beastliness break into the garden ot home. When Rome was moral there was only ono case ot divorce reported in 500 years. She changed the law; then the deluge. Divorce is too easy in this country. In La Crosse, Wis., there were in one year seventy-six divorces; in Philadelphia there were 284 It has been announced that divorces have increased largelv in New York lately—at least 500 per cent. Now, all this is right if marriage be merely a civil contract. Then you may dispose of a conjugal relation as you would of a house, or a barn, or a horse. But if it be a divine institution, then no other ground than that announced by the Almighty himself can dissolve that relation. He Expects It, The man who leaves a tinshop or hard ware store with a length of stovepipe under his arm knows exactly the gaunt let he has to run, and has probably braced himself for the emergency. The regular programme is as follows: . First man.—“Hello! Had to come to it, have you?” Second mm.—“Don’t swear if she don’t fit!” Third man.—“Hit ’er with the ax!” Fourth man.—“ I’ve been there, and I have no advice to give you." Fifth man.—“Hello! what’s thatP Ah! I see! Bet you ten to five you’ll get mad!” B Sixth man.—“Ho! ho! ho! Well I never! I always stand on the step-lad der and hammer with a stick of wood!” Seventh man.—This man makes a motion for the man with the stovepipe RskiT-lt. He points t0 the st °vepipe and “ Is that stovepipe?” “Yes.” ‘‘Is it to put up a stoveJwithP” Ye3.” “ to P ut up the stove yoursel/P” Well, I shan’t hinder you. Stoves have almost become a necessity of late years. 1 know quite a number of my neighbors who are getting them to build ,<,u Tho ex-Congressrann from a Western a few daysago. The ex-dele State died a few daysago. gate is now keeping one of the lowest dens in the city. His place is ostensi bly a cigar store, but a thin partition sepnrntes it from a place of the lowest character. The man flaunts his shame in the broad glaro of day, and may be seen at nlrnost any time sitting in front, of his disgraceful abode in Ills shirt sleeves, brazenly facing people who knew him in his better days. Here is nnother case that almost ronkes one lose faith in human nature. 1 n 1844 there graduated from Harvard university n young man ot wonderful promise, lie was twenty-two years old and the world opened promising be- fore him. Ho was, I believe, for a time a teacher in Harvard, nnd subsequently lie founded a very successful school in Massachusetts. Some time afterward he went South as principal of a State normal school. The war coming on, he came North. At tho closo of tho war he returned to the Southern States as col lector of internal revenue. When the State was reconstructed lie was elected to the United States Senate and served witli distinction for seven years. He was cliairman of tho commilteo on edu cation and labor, and a member of the appropriation nnd other important com mittees. Ho wns a very strong and pleasing spenker, nnd stood very high among his colleagues. After his term expired ho was appointed assistant seo- n tary of the treasury, nnd wns nt times acting secretary. It was here that he fed. He was courted and flattered and iisod. Wine, cards and women did their part to accomplish his fall. There were somo very crooked transactions while ho was in oflico, and some way or other the assistant secretary lost his olllce nnd was landed in jail. He was speedily got out, however, but lie be came wretchedly poor.nndgot to borrow- pieces of his old friends ing Hftycent r Tt was a pitiful sight to sec him about and know what he had been. Finally somo ono had him appointed to a twelve-hundrcd-dollar clerkship (he wrote a beautiful linnd) and it was thought lie might pick up and recover; hut he didn’t. He had got a passion for gambling, and whenever he could ob tain the money he sought the tiger and of eourso lost it, and soon he lost his clerkship. I understand ho now hor- s a ao" rows a dollar or two wherever ho can and goes into the lowest places and plays until it is gone. If ho lins no money, which is nearly always the case, ho will sit where tlie game is going on and keep ttie score for the low wretches that infest the dives lie visits. lie once had a charming family of boys and girls, but the Lord only knows where they aro now. If thero is anything stranger or moro revolting than this in Action I have never come ncross it. Indian Shoppers. In her bonk on Manitoba, British America, Miss Fitzgibbon says: I watched some Indians shopping, nnd was astonished to see how invariably they waved aside inferior goods and chooe such materials as merinocs at $1 50 to $2 (7s. 6J. to 10s.) a yard. Ono of tho merchants told mo it was useless to offer them anything but tho best. An Indinn, who could not speak English or French and wnntoel live tilings, di vided his money according to his idea of their relative cost in littlo piles on the counter, and going througli a panto mime descriptive of his wants, was handed lirst some silk hanelkorehiefs. Taking one up lie felt it, licld it up to the light, and. throwing it aside, shook his head vigorously, uttering an “ Ugh!” of digust. When shown a better one he was doubtful, but on a much superior article being produced he took it nnd willingly handed over one pile for it. This, however, was loo much, and when given the change ho put it on one of tlie other piles, and proceeded in the same way to make tho rest of his pur chases. “How easily they could be cheated,” I said to the clerk, after the Indian had left. “ No,’ he replied, “ not so easily as would appear. They gener ally como ia from their camps in great numbers once a year, to sell their furs and make purchases. They go to differ ent shops, tind on their return compare notes as to the cost and quality of their goods. Then, if one has paid more than another, or has been cheated in quality, he will never enter the shop aaaiu; and the firm that gives the greatest bar gains is most patronized on their re turn.” Mnnufaclnre of Perfumery. That branch of chemistry called per fumery is a new industry on this coast, but with the ample facilities here for its manufacture it will become in time, of very great importance. The extensive flower farms in the neighborhood of Nice, Grnsse, Montpelier and Cannes, in France; Adrianople, Broussaand Uslak, in Turkey, and MicLiam, in England, in a measure indiente its importance in the world. In the East varieties of herbs arc grown that are used to a con siderable extent in plmrmncy, but the planting of flowers by the acre for per fumery purposes is unknown in this country. The perfumery manufactured here is from the produce ot flowers im ported from Europe, and comes here in the shape of a fat or sort of tallow. There is only one firm in this pity en gaged in its manufacture at present, and this establishment produces an average of 100 gross of bottles per week, though the production varies with the demand. It is entirely for home consumption, though thero wns recently opened a ill export trade witli Mexico. Fowers arc not used here in their natural slate, as they are not to be bad. Neith r could they very well be im ported in their natural condition, on account of the expense attending, and, moreover, in their transportat’on a large percentage of their fragrance would be lost. There is no reason why the cultivation of flowers, flower-fnrm- ing proper, could not be made nn im portant industry here. There is no one engaged in it at present, nnd it might very well be introduced. Wherever the raw material is to be obtained profit ably, there manufactories spring up, and nowhere do flowers grow more lux uriantly than in this State. To convey an idea of the extent of the manufacture of perfumery it maybe said that British India and Europe consume annually, at tho very lowost cstimaie, 150,000 gal ions of perfumed spirits. The large perfumers of Grasse and Paris employ annually in their manufactures 80,000 pounds of rose blossoms, 60,000 pounds cassia ilowers, 60,000 pounds rose leaves, 30,000 pounds jasmine,; 30,000 pounds violets, 20,000 pounds tube roses, 20,000 pounds lilacs, besido great quantities of rosemary, mince, lemon, citron, thyme nnd many odorous plants. The quan tity of odoriferous substances used in this way is certainly very great, and be yond the conception of most people.— .San Francisco Bulletin. Superstitions or Childbirth. In Denmark children born on Sundays have characteristics by no means envi able. Mr. Thorpe, in his "Northern Mythology,” tells us that in Fyen there was a woman who was born on a Sun day, and therefore bad the faculty of seeing much that was hidden from others. Unfortunately, on this nccount, she could not pass by the church at night without seeing a hearse or spectre; hence this gift became a perfect burden to her. She therefore sought tiie advice of a man skilled in such matters, who directed her, whenever she saw a spec tre, to say, “ Go to liPaven,” but when she met a hearse, “ Hang on.” Hap pening some time afterward to meet a liearse, she, through forgetfulness, cried out,'“Go to heaven,” and straightway the hearse rose in the air and vanished. Soon after, meeting a spectre, she said to it, “Hang on,” whereupon it clung round her neck, hung on her bark, and drove her down into the earth before it. For three days her shrieks were heard before the spectre would put an end to her wretclien life. In some parts of Scotland the newly- lx>rn child was bathed in salt water, and made to taste it three times. Bap tism, too, hns been supposed to be Any where to Get Away. Mr. Greeley had hren invited to de liver a lecture at a village a few miles from Chicago. Ho appointed the time for Saturday evening, but wns dismayed at finding when there that there was no train to take him back to Chicago before Monday. His first question of the gen tleman who was awaiting him was if there was no way in which he could get out of town the next day. “ Not by a public conveyance,” he was told. “No boats?” “Not at this season of the year." (December.) A sharp cross-questioning dieted the information that an occasional pro peller stopped at one of the piers during the winter months, but there was no certainty of such an event occurring. Sunday morning Mr Greeley wa- seen down at the 'shore looking as longingly as a shipwrecked sailor lor a sail. No boat appearing, his host prevailed on him to go to church with him. “We had in our little church,’' says the writer, “ that day a clergyman to whom even Mr. Greeley might have listened with profit if not with pleasure. Listen ing, however, was not, Mr. Greeley’s in- ten ion. Settling himself in a corner of the pew, he went to sleep, and slept on until near the close of the sermon. Sud denly the whistle of a propeller sounded through the air. The great editor started, pricked up his ears, then jumped up, without a giance even at his host, walked down the aisle and out of the church, aud was seen no more by the inhabitants. Afterward it was learned that l he propeller was on its way to Milwaukee, not Chioago. ‘But an^- Ice-Seooped Rocks In Lake Erie. Felce island, in Lake Eric, is about twenty-two miles north of the city of Sandusky, O. Ol limestone formation a series of reef stretch off the south and east shores to a distance of from two to four miles, making it a favorite resort for the black bass. An interesting fenture of this island on the south side, is the beacli oi lime stone that in somo places stretches along tho shore in unbroken continuity for two or three hundred yards. This beacli, stretching back from the water’s edge about forty yards, presents the ap pearance of having been submitted to tho action of a gigantic plane that lmd done its work thoroughly, leaving no unevenness on its surince. An interest ing peculiarity in regard to this lime stono oeacli is the fact that numerous grooves have been scooped out of the solid rock, some from two to fifteen feet wide and of an average depth of two lines nnd hot- feet. These grooves, tho s tom of which are ns smooth as paving stones, look as it they had been scooped out by an immonso gouge. At other places may be observed numerous smaller grooves and lines; some mere scra’ehos. What is most astonishing about these grooves and lines is that nil areas exactly straight as if they had been rilled, crossing, recrossing and in tersecting each other and forming every possible angle. These linos trend from the northwest to tho southeast, nnd from the northeast to tho southwest have never met with the like before, nl though, perhaps, it may be common enough; at any rate, it would be of con sidorablo interest to a geologist. The only theory tliat, I can advance is that during that portion ol geologic time ’ 1, this limestono called the glacial period beach formed the bed of a sea higher elevated than tho surrounding bed. Immense Icebergs that lmd formed part of enormous glaciers, had become de tached from some mainland. To the base of these, masses of rook had adher od.jln the passage of the icebergs over the ter stone of this elevated ni softer stone of this elevated bed, ttiese grooves had been scooped out by the masses of rock adberinsr to the bases of the bergs.—Chicago Field. An Incident or the Rebellion. A battery of the First artillery (Fede ral) halted ono night during the Seven Days fight, in a little clearing. The mon lay down, unhitching their horses but leaving them in harness. The first sprgoant, now an honored i flicer of the Third artillery, told mo he got up and walked toward one side of the clearing He was halted, and turned back by a sentini 1. Going toward the other side he was again challenged. “ Who comes thar?” The voice struck him. He replied. “Friend;”and said: “What regiment is thatP” The answer came, “Seventh Ala bama." “ What regiment is that on the other sideP” “ Fifth Georgia," replied the sentinel “ What battery is that?" Here was a situation. The sergeant naturally didn’t know tho name of a battery in tiie Confederate army. Hesi tation would have been latal. By a lucky inspiration lie replied, “One oi Stuart’s batteries." knowing that .Job Stuart commanded their cavalry. “Oh,” said the other, “then you’re a boss battery ?’’ “ Y< s,” said C . “ Good-night ” He immediately awoke the captain, who rather angrily said : “ What the duce is the matter now ?” “Excuse me, captain,” said the'ser geant, “but we’re camped between a Georgia and an Alabama regiment.” It is needless to say the captain got up. Horses were hitche.l in quietly, and t he battery withdrew from between tiie sleeping regiments, who never knew of the prize that was within their grasp. —Californian. [Cbillioothe (Obio) Row County Register.] A Lady In the Matter* That “ woman’s wit is often superior to man’s wisdom,” was convincingly proved in a circumstance that occurred n this city recently. It appears that Mr. Ludwig Schwarzler. a widely- known Grocer on Station Road, suffered with a very painful rheumatic headache to such a degree, that he was obliged to seek the aid of a physician. All medi cines he used were of no avail. This induced Mrs. Schwarzler to buy St. Jacobs Oil. She procured a bottle for her husband. With the second appli cation he jound relief.

IS where to get away,’ said Mr. Greelev- Hydrophobia from a Wolf Bite. A case of hydrophobia resulting Irom the bite of a mad woif has been brought to tho notice of a Pittsburg Chronicle representative who spent a few days in Washington county, Pa. In the spring of 1785—nearly one hundred years ago— Mr. Zachariah Rankin lived in Mt. Pleasant township. One morning he heard a noise in the hog pen, and on going to it discovered a mad woif in the act of devouring small pigs. Tiie infuri ated animal sprang nt him, and suttK its teeth in his leftside, high up. Instantly Rankin brought his powerful arms down upon the neck of the beast, and held it as if in a vice until his wife reached him with a large butcher knife. Hejthen disembowled the wolf, and un der the careot a physician the wound in the side of the injured man soon healed. One evening in the succeeding fall, Ran kin was suddenly seized with hydro phobia, and his contortions and agoniz ing shrieks paralyzed his father and brothers so that they would not go near his bedside. Two or three physicians attended him, but before morning he was a corpse, after a night of the most intense suffering. In tho nortti of England women still wear round their necks blue woolen threads, or small cords, till they wenn their children, for tho purpose of ward ing off fevers, or, ns they are nicknamed, " weeds and onnas." Tlieso threads are handed down from mother to child, and esteemed in proportion to their antiq uity. According to a Yorkshire no tlon, a newborn infant should bo laid rst in the arms of a maiden before any one touches it: and in some places tiie infant’s right hand is left unwashed in order that he may gather riches. It is. too, considered very important by many that nn infant should go up in the world before it goes down. Thus, in Cleve land, says Mr. Henderson, “ if a child should be born in tho top story of a bouse, for want of a flight of stairs one of the gossips will take it in her arms and mount a table, chair or chest of drawers before slio carries it down stairs.” In the north of England, when an infant for tho first time goes out of the house, it is presented with an egg some salt, a littlo loaf of bread, and oc casionally with a small piece of money —these gifts being supposed to insuro that the child shall never stand in need of the common necedsnrieB of life. In tho East Riding of Yorkshire a few matches are added, to light the child to heaven. It was.too, in foimer times customary and the practice is not yet obsolete of providing a large cheese and cake,.and cutting them nt the birth of a child These were called the “ Groaning Cake and Cheese,” and were distributed among all tho neighbors. In Yorkshire this cake is termed tho “ Pepper Cake, and in somo localities the “Sickening Cake.” It is tiie source of n species oi devination, for being cut into small pieces by the medical mnn, it is divided ,n What is called “the enchanted moun tain," in Texas, is an immense oval rock. 300 feet high, an I about eighty miles from Bastrop.

A Superstitions Composer. Sneaking of the late Jacques Offen bach, the composer, tho New York Sun says: Whoever lias heard ills operas may guess what the man himself was. Superstition and cowardice were promi nent features of his character. He was a great gambler at the roulette, his favorite number being from supersti tion—the thirteen. One evening at Spa tho number came seven times, and Of fenbach broke flic bank. He had a ter rible dread of the sea. Before ho could bo induced to cross tiie ocean on his wav to America, he spent long, sleepless nights. As lie himself writes in his book, ho dared not go to sleep, “ lest on nwnk- ing he should not be able to command a smile." He was in tiie position of tiie poor fellow in the fable whom tiie king had ordered to teach his ass to read under penalty of being hanged. Tiie mighty dollur, however, prevailed over his anxieties, and he embarked on tiie Canada. One night the steamer sud denly stopped to cool her engines. He started out ot his sleep. He imagined at once tliat the vessel had struck against a rock and vvas rapidly sinking. Offen bach in his night garment, but with his eyeglasses upon his huge nose, rushed on deck pleading for life. The efforts of the captain and of all tiie passengers were required to persuade him that there was no danger. A Been.
