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

Bad Inatancr* of ItriniUtlun to lie Been

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

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

down to the lowest game of " policy."

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

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

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.—

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.

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

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

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

of the prize that was within their grasp.

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. The pain left
him, and he is as well as ever again. A

England, when a child pines or wastes

hung around the necks of babies from
an ancient superstitious notion tliat
those would protect 1 hem from evil in

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

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
