DO YOU FAVOR DIVORCES ?
A correspondent of the Chicago
Journ*l in replying to the above
question says :
Like everythin/ else iu this
world, I answer, divorce is a mat
ter lor individual circumstances to
color and control; but, in the ab
stract upon these general prici
pies which alone offer a ground
for discussion. Ido believe in di
vorce, If husbands and wives
tinp they can not live peaceably
together, let them agree to live
separately, but be careful how
tney sever the bond %it God has
jomed. If your husband is a
drunkard, all the more reason you
should stand by him. if you are a
good woman. If he goes into the
gutter, pull him out, and know
that your experience is only that
“worse’' which you vowed to take
with the “better.” It is the qui
nine in the honey, to tone you up
and make yon able sonled There
are ten thousand of things in lur
ried life which tact and Joyul for
bearance will eventually dissipate,
as a clear, steady b'owing wind
will drive away mosquitoes. The
trouble is we mind them too much,
we dilate upon them, and fight
over them, and nurst them, uutil
from musquittoes they grow to be
buzzard that eat at our peace and
destroy our lives, I don’t believe
in folks living together if they
can’t get along without scoldiug
and storming and sulking, dut I
don’t believe in lightly sundering
the tie that God uas blessed, aud
which His most holy sacremenihas
sanctified. The thorn that make
your rose a terror is part of the
rose i te's growth, and carrying it
to anothec wife or busbana is not
going to rid it of its sharpness. If
you have made one unhappy veDt
ure don’t chance another. It i
better to die with the record of ou
ly ohfe wreck than to go oui of life
as a cyclone docs, with a devasta
ted world behind it. Not for one
sin, nor tor seven sins, scarely for
seventy sins, would I forsake the
friend I loved, The woman who
divorces herself from her husband
because the man she loves lias
faults, is /ike an angel who should
divorse itself from tne ministiy of
heaven. Finally, I say unto you
wives, be large hearted, wide in
your views, generous, not paltry
and cobweo headed, not exacting,
and stick bv your husbands through
every thing but continued falshood
and conceit. Whaeever else you
be, be honest and lie not. and don’t
run after other pietty faces because
/he bloom has faded a little (for
love of you!) in your wife’s face.
She sti.l has a feolihg heart and
bas sacrificed herself for y&ur hap
pi ness,

A TRIAL TRIP.
A stone-cutter, whose office ad
joined his stone yard, was seated
in his oflioo when a friend called
upon him and they discussed sev
eral topics together, among them
ihe question as to what extent lar
ger beer was au intoxicant. The
stoi e cutter maintained /hat beer
was not intoxicating, while his
friend main/ained the opposite.
The sione-eutter said there is a
man a< work iu tho yard (pointing
to a brawny-chested German) who
could drink a bucket (three gal
lons) of beer at one sitting and
feel none the worse for it. The
friend doubted, end a wager was
made and the workman called,
who, wbeu asked if he could drink
that bucket (pointing to » large
water bucket) full of beer at one
sitting, replied, “Veil, don’d know
J lets you know after a vile.’ The
German went • away, and after re
maining about fifteen minutes, re**
turned and said, “Yes, 1 can drink
dot peer.’’ The backet of beer
was procured and placked before
the German who very soon a bsorb
ed the last irop, and arose from
his seat, wiping his mouth with
his sleeve, and walked away with a
firm step, when his employer re.
called him and said to him, “See

In Baltimore the other day the

were accompanied by their teach

Some of the kites were large

were almost small enough to go

A negro, with an ax in his hands,
stood beside the highway skirting
a Mississippi swamp, and as as wo
came up he said ;
“Uem’leu, be run’d rig'-t up dat

“ BYmt did ?”
“A’ coon, sah. If yon has got

We dismounted and took a sur
vey. Aq animal of some sort could
be dimly made out hugging a limb
high up. We popped away, but
without doing any damage, and as
it moved along tho limb the Colo
nel observed;
“That may be a ’coon but I
don t believe it. IM sooner think
it was a ’possum.”
“Hu ! but if dat ain’t a coon you
kin caU dis chile crazy !’
We rode away leaving him to
chop the tree down. It was about
three heurs before we returned
and then we fouud him seated ou
the fallen trunk. Beginning at
the top of his head and extending
to his ankie bones were bloody
scratches. His garments were
covered with blood, and he was
trying to bind some leaves on a
bad wound on his left arm.
“For the land’s sake, but did the
tree fall on you f ’ exclaimed the
Colonel.
“No, sah ; I war fell on by de an

“Which was it—a 'coon or a

“Neither one, sah; it happened

“The kids call me “Sheeny Bob,
