On Sunday afternoon tho Rev. C.
B. Smyth delivered ft lengthy address
lit Cooper Institute, Now York, enti
tled "Lessons for t lie Clergy on Mur-riso-o
and Divorce."
The Kevercnd gentleman said that
tho subject on which lie was about to
peak was suggested to bim by the
exceeuingiy large numocr 01 uivorco
esses that liuve been recently reported.
The sixth rente of tho nineteenth
chapter of tho book of St. Mutthow
was selected as the text :
"Wherefore tber Are no more twain, but one
Sih ; what, therefore, o.h hatb joined tugctuer
Itt not man put nimmlt-r."
Bcvicwing tho world in t ho order
of its rrcntion, tho speaker claimed
that God capped the climax when he
mado Kvo. That was tho finishing
touch. Ever since then wo have had
the two sexes and they wero wisely
mado for each other. Tho union of
man and woman is by covenant, and
the consummation of the covenant con
stitutes what is termed marriage. The
violation of this covenant by law; and
tho separation of the man from the
woman is called divoreo. The clergy
4is a class are titierJy ignorant as to
the naturo of tho marriage. When
mo look into tho law books we find
marriage defined as a civil contract.
Tho legal profession havo so much to
do with contracts and bargains that
but few, even in" tho more intelligent
of that class, allow it to risu higher
than that. We are Jastonishl
that tho clergy are sutisiiod with that
definition. Tho civil contract is un
questionably implied in marriage; but
that is not the whole. Hence it is
found that when an action is brought
against a person lor simply failing to
perform the covenant, it is not called
an action for divorce, but an action
for brc-t'l: ol promise of marriage.
Although Ilcbccea bad been promised
to Isaac and regarded os his wiJj, llic
marriage did not tako placo until she
was brought to him, which was long
after the covenant had been made.
The same was tho case of David and
Belbscbah, who, through their coven
ant, were regarded as husband and
wife, though they wero not joined in
wedlock until several years had elaps
ed. Let the clergy learn from this
the naturo of marriage, that it is not
merely a civil contract, but something
higher.
As to divorce, there are two kinds
known to our modern courts : a menxa
et thoro, or "from bed and board,"
which is merely a mutual separation,
and a vinculo matrimonii, or "from the
bonds of matrimony," which is the
Absolute parting of man and wife for
ever. The Bible recognir.es but one
kind a mensa ft thoro. This is set
forth in the 24th chapter of Deuter
onomy, first and second verses; also,
in the 5th chapter of St. Matthew, 31
and 32 verses.
Divorces are spoken of in the Bible,
and tho real estate ot tho case as be
tween Moses and tho Jews was that
during tho time intervening the prom
ise and the time fur the marriage, if
cither party discovered ground for
breaking the contract, it was done.
This is what Moses speaks of where
tho party lias gone no further than
the promise. Alter betrothal tho man
could put the woman aside, but he hud
to give her a writing which was called
ft divorce.
According to tho Hebrew laws, if
any ono took liberties with another s
wife, the law was satisfied with noth
ing short ol bis death. Tho Jews
were very strict on this point. The
divorce that the woman recoived for
the dissolution of tho marriage agree
ment was no more than an act ol jus
tice. But this was only given belbre
the. consummation ol the marriage
and not after it.
When marriage is onco entered in
to, no act of Parliament, no pope's
bull, no act of tho Legislature, or no
judgo's decision can undo it. You
cannot dissolve the relation existing
between parent and child, sister and
brotlior. So it is with husband and
wife. It is not like principal and
agent, partner and copartner; but the
twain is one and inseparable. . Their's
is a union for life and only mado Rep
arable by death, for the husband and
wifo are bound together by their con
tract as long as they live. Upon his
death, the husband's power ever bis
wife ceases, and then tho can take an
other husband.
Itcmcdics should be created accord
ing to tho evils. A great and despcr
ote evil must have a desperate cure.
Kow what are the evils for which di
vorce is sought t Tho statutes of
nearly all tho United Stales grant di
vorces lor ndultery by either the hus
band or wifo ; somo go even so far as
to give divorces for incompatibility of
temper and other frivolous pretexts.
The law of God docs not permit it,
but it will allow a separation, though
not an absolute divorce.
Tho only remedy for adultery is
death it is equitable. You will sec
it so laid down in lioth Deuteronomy
nd Leviticus. I ask you whether it
is not a proper remedy now in modern
times f And if it lie carried out, the
one who has been agrieved can then
be married again. When we bear of
ono shot down for committing adul
tery, we are ready to forgive hint who
takes the life of tiieevil doer. Tothe
"rcdit and clory of the iicoolo of tho
United States, when tho unfortunate i
man who avenges his honor with the
blood ol the destroyer of his peace, is
lronghl into court and comes before a
jury ol his countrymen, heis acquitted.
Who would think of hanging a man
who Mint the offender T It would be
well for society, for our nation and
for the church if the old Jewish law
was still in force. Then tho offender
would be shot down and no responsi
bility attach to the act. I hope it will
come.
Marring is Ciod's crowning act.
Woman is man's thief blessing, and
wedlock redounds more l tho glory
of God than any other of bis works.
It peoples empires and fills heaven.
It is this typo between (iod and the
Church which charges them to love
nd honor each other. Lo', tho clergy
teach that adultery is the worst crime
which a man can commit against an
other. It is crnelty it is robbery
worse than robbery. It is actually in
the rye of (tod's law worc than mur
der itself. Adultery is practically the
som of all villainies. Let the clergy
teach thst any State Legislature which
adopts a hoo divorce iaw Is commit
ting a deed worM than adultery.

BY AQELLl'LL'g.
A good many are disappointed,
when they open tho boxes or packages
of plants they huvo ordered from nur
serymen. I tlo not now mean disap
pointed on accouutof thenurscrymun's
not having sent what was ordered, or
his having sent what is worthless.
The disap)Miiiitmcnt I refer to, is that
in finding tho jJants in a bud stale,
viz , dry, branches hilon, Ac-, i"c
finite Is sometimes in tho nurserymen
they don't pack well enough; some
times with tho expressmen and the
U. S. Mail carriers, they lorgct to
"handle with care ;" sometimes both
arc faultless, and the damage is caused
by tho fur distance tho plants have to
be sent.
Disappointment is nn evil, and the
hints I offer will, in many cases, rem
edy tho evil,
lour strawberries you find "pretty
dry ;" don't despair ! don't throw
them away; don't plant them imme
diately, but take them to a shady
pluco, and plungo them in wutor. lid
them lie a good while, and you will
soon see them all, or most of them
fresh ; then you may plant them.
This will apply also to other plants,
roses, geraniums, ic., ic, but somo
plants will require more time to lie in
water. Y'ou must then wait a little
longer. I onco received from a friend,
living at a great distance, very rare
plant. Tho friend did not think of
jiacking very carefully Ho put a
little earth around the roots, and wrap
ped it in paper, and mailed it. Well,
when ho packed it, tho earth was wet
enough. But the mail ! When I
opened the package, I found a good
deal of dust and a few black things,
that seemed to havo been plants at a
former time. I did not despair ; I got
a tumbler of water, and put tho whole
mass therein. Tho next day I saw
by means of a microscope, something
green, but very small. I waited a
while and thcu planted, giving plenty
of water.
I havo just read, in a horticultural
paper of the old world of two cases,
which, I hope, your readers will find
very interesting. They are narrated
by a highly educated gardener. In a
part of his garden where in themonth
of April roses had been planted, he
found, after two month,- on plant
that bad been forgotten, to be planted
out, and therefore wus quite dry. He
put it in water, in a shady place. Six
weeks having elapsed, ho found new
whito roots Btid green sprouts. In
the month ol July, the crown of a
high growing P.ctnontunt Boso was
broken off by the wind. It was. when
found, quite dry, lutTing been exposed
to tho sun and wind during six weeks.
He put the crown (which hud thirty
to forty flowers) in water. After
threo weeks ho found life, w hereupon
ho cut it in pieces, both the old and
the young wood, and planted them in
cn old hot-bed. Most all of them grow.

Pcrity or Character. Over the
beauty ofthe plum and apricot there
grows a bloom and beauty moro ex-
quisito than the first fruit itself a soft
delicate flush that overspreads the
cheek. Now, if you strike your hand
over that, it is onco gone forever, for
it never grows hut once. I fie flower
that hangs in tho morning, impearled
with dew nrrayed as no queenly
woman ever was nrrnved with jewels
oi.ee shako it, so that (ho heads roll
off, and you may sprinkle water over
it as you please, yet it can never be
made again what it was when the dew
fell silently upon it from heaven I On
a frosty morning, you may sec the
panes ot glass covered with landscapes,
mountains, lakes and trees, blended
in a beautiful fantastic picture. Now
lay your hand upon the glass, and by
tho scratch of a linger, or by the
warmth of tho palm, all tho delicate
traccny will bcjoblitcratcd. So there is
in youth a benuly and purity of char
acter which when once touched and
defiled can never bo restored ; a (range
moro delicalo than frost-work, and
which when torn aud broken, will
never be re-cmbroidered. A man who
has spotted and spoiled bis garments
in youth, though ho may seek to make
them whito again, can nrver wholly
do it, even wero he to wash them
with bis tears. When n young man
leaves bis fathers house, wilh the
blesings of his mother's tears still
wetiiMii. his forehead, if he once loses
that jiurity ol character, it is a Ions
that lie can never mnko whole again.
Such is the consequence of crime. lis
effects cannot be eradicated it can
only be forgiven.

General H. M. Naglee, lato of the

of marriaire. and claims tho modest
sum of $Io0,000, with which to putty
up her damaged and too susceptible

since the alleged promise was given,

"Very litllo business doing," is the
general report Horn tho wholesale and
retail dealers throughout the country.
It was cxpocted that, on tho return
from ti e country, to which (or to the
watering places) so many persons
migrated lor tho Hummer and early
uutumn months, there would bo the
great expenditure of former years.
Not so, however; tho prico of mere
living has so much advanced that
people look, not twice, but a dozen
times at a tivo-dollurgrccnback before
they change it. Food, in all its va
rieties, is sufficiently abundant. The
harvest, after some misgivings on thut
score, turns out tp bo tun. u.J.m
tl.Mii usual. But tho parties who spec
ulate in provisions of all kinds, and
tho retailers who are loath to sur
render tho great profits which they
received during tho war, still press
heavy juices upon (lie community,
and, though wages have risen, keen
their customers and especially the
woiKing classes poorer than they
we.ro at. anv nrcviuus tunc. 'What
between thiev'nir high prices on one !
hand, and heavy and unequal taxa
tion on tho other, it is harder to live
in this great laud than it ever was
before ; and, as the last straw to break
the camel's back, rents have nearly
doubled. The Irish clamor for "ten
ant rights:" we have as just grounds
here to 'complain. When (HW to f !t00
per annum is exacted for a house
which let lor S400 five years ago, and
was high-priced at even that, it is clear
there is cuuso to murmur. Properly
owners may protest that they "cannot
Help ttie rise; but, saying 60, they
insist on it, and pocket the money.
One might as well bo plundered on
the highway as robbed iu this manner
lor downright robbery it is tLc
money being lost, at any rnto.
When necessary articles ran up in
retail price, we protested against it.
The price of butcher's meat was tre
bled during the war, owing to the do
mund lor it to feed tho army ; but tho
war ended nearly two years since, and
the great army was disbanded ; never
theless, the price of meat has only
slightly gono down, and that within
tho lust ten days. Why should we
pay seventeen to eighteen dollars for
a barrel of flour, which was considered
dear, six years ago, at seven to eight
dollars? On what if round cun the
charge of seventy cents for a pound of
nutter (i liiiaucipiiia market price on
Saturday) be exacted by tho farmers
or forestalled who buy up tho pro
duce? Milk, which used to bo four
cents a quart in Philadelphia, now is
j sold" for Un including the water Used
to dilute it, the chalk to whiten and
the calves' brains to thicken tho dilu
tion and will probably go higher,
seeing that in New York the price has
just been raised to twelve cents a quart
for a miserable thin fluid. In the
j-ame way, vegetables arc nearly thrice
as costly as they used to be, and as
they ought to bo. The result is, who
ever has to market for a household
finds that it takes twelve to lilteen
dollars, at preseM prices of food, and
that tho plainest, to buy what could
formerly be obtained for fivo dollars.
Whoso incomo bus doubled in propor
tion ?
The cattle disease, which caused
such loss in Kuropo by its ravages,
and eseciiilly in Knglnnd, did not
affect this country. Tho supply of
horned cattle, by which, indeed, the
firico of nil animal food is regulated,
ius been large nnd steady all the time,
and tho uxmy-consnniption of beef nnd
pork has dwindled down to a mini
mum ; yet, amid this ahumlanco, ani
mal food is twice as high as it ought
to bo. It may bo alleged that there
are taxes upon food. There oro not
high taxes, but thoroughly unjust.
What has immortalized the memory
of Sir Hubert 1'eel, but tho courage
and good senso wilh which, though
doing it invoked the penulty of losing
ollice, ho swept away the tuxes upon
food und retained the taxes upon lux
uries. Here, when the novelty of war
taxation was introduced, there was a
grand opportunity of following this
example and adopting this principle.
But those who pasHod our system of
war taxes apparently knew nothing of
what mid been done, and well done,
elsewhere Tho lint was, tax every
thing lrom tho lucifcr-match, with
which tho Mor housewife lights her
scanty tire, und tho mean fowl of her
husband and children which she pre
pares, up to the fifteen hundred dollar
carriage, drawn by tho span of two
thousand dollar horses, in which tho
rich man rides to church on Sunday
luxuriantly so riding, though ho pre
vents tho poor mecliunic, who vege
tates in back streets and alleys, from
riding in a street car on the same day.
Our system ol taxation ought to be
revised, and, at ono fell swopo, every
impost upon the. neeemtrics of life oujht
to be abolished.
Coming back to our starting point,
that there is "very little business
doing," and that tho increased cost of
living has curtailed the ubility to make
any but strictly necessary purchases,
wu may add that the importations of
foreign luxuries do not diminish, as
may bo seen by tho custom's returns
ofthe ports of Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. At the
same time, if the stagnation ol trade
continues, simply because people have
not got tho money to spend, so much
being wanted for rent, food and ordi
nary clothing, how are tho speculative
importers to pay for the goods which
will remain unpaid ? Quick sales and
rendy returns arc the lifeof business
there cannot be cither while the pub
lic pay, to put it at the lowest esti
mate, moro than twice tho value of
what they consume. Is thero any
honest reason why a pound of butter I
formerly sold at 12 to II cents, should '

With largo stocks' of imported goods
on hand, and, us tjiu Irishman said,
"nothing stirring but stagnation," the
prices of these must tuniblo down, lor
remittances to foreign manufacturers
and dealers must be tiiiijje il neglect
ed, bankruptcy being thd-result. 'Tho

The heart has memories that can
never die ; tho rough usngo ol the
world cannot obliterate them. Feeble
age, trembling on the brink of the
grave, has them when every thing
else has fled away and been forgotten.
They are tho memories of homo, early
homo ; the house where wo wero born,
the yard with its wreath of roses and
flowering vines, tho lilac bushes where
the robins mado their nests spring af
ter spring, jiaying their rent in song
such us wo tlrcnm of, but never hear
afterward j the old elm and swing
where tho children used to play all
tho while tho mother sut by the low
front windows, her face beaming nut
occasionally through tho folds of the
dainty muslin curtain ; tho same old
house w ith its poit ted gables, (plaint
cornices, and itntiipio windows; the
frescoed chamber whero wo used to
dream of. all tho groat, glad world had
in store for us.
Dear old homo, with its pay dreams
and sunny hours, and cloudless skies,
and visions of bliss, and glorious hap
piness, gone all gone!
The traveler, climbing tho moun
tains of a land riot his o-vn, will, amid
all his toil and changes, revert ever
ami anon to the time when a youth
or a school boy ho roamed the fields
and the bills of his own nativo home.
The mariner, rocked by tho storms
of tho sea, or resting at somo foreign
port, will run through tho long lapse
of years back to tho hours where,
with brother nnd sister, ho frolicked
the joyous hours of youth away.
Neither change nor time, neither
age nor years, neither dixtanco nor
disense, neither guilt nor passion, can
ever blot lrom the heart the memories
ofthe Spring-time of lite. Those mem
ories ol homo will re-prodiico on the
verge of eternity the freshness of emo
tion, of life and desire with which ex
istence on earth began.
A Gravk Without a Monument.
The sen is tho largest of cemeteries,
and all its slumberers sleep without a
monument. All other grave yards, in
all lands, show somo symbols of dis
tinction between tho great and the
small, tho rich and tho poor, but in
that great ocean cemetry tho king
and the clown, the prince and the peas
ant, are .iliko iiniiistingiiished. The
nauiu vtnvu roiipuver uu, ine miiiiu re-
qiiicm by the minstrelsy of tho ocean
is sung to their honor. Over their
rcmnins the same storms beat, and the
same sun shines; nnd thero, unmark
ed, the weak and tho powerful, the
plumed and tho unhonored, will sleep
on, until, awakened by the same trump,
tho sea will givo up its tlend. No
marble rises to point out where their
osbes aro gathered. Yet that ceme
tery hath ornamenlsof which noother
can boast. On no other aro tho heav
enly orbs reflected in such' splendor.
Over no other are heard such noble
melody.
