"What, therefore, God bath J. lined together, let
Bo man put asunder." St. iorA, a. V.
The object in prpttonlinw thin ul
jeet, in not to gratify any vain or idle
curiosity, or attempt to wcovo around
it piirlumla of flower, with view to
attract and plcuso tho liglitand foolish
imnirmlioii.
Too long linn tho ttiilijoot been treat

has it been exhibited in thi manner,
thut few, when tho word niurringo in
mentioned, are able to aiipprea a
smile. It Ktiered thnracter bit in

which it it cuntomnry to ntfer all tort

Than ba tho crave and sacred
character of marriago gradnally dii

solemn tiling, it bna become a piny

nature and obligations, it excites libi
liincies and foolish words. Instead of
occupying a, high and sacred place
commanding tho roverenco of men, it
is trailed in the dust, and made tbo
sport ol every wild gust of willfulness
and passion.
Wo are sincerely sorry to bo com
pelled to make the humiliating con
fession, that tho pulpit has bud nn
small agency In ctiltivuting Ibis light,
foolish and vitiated sentiment in re
gard to murriago. True, it has but
seldom brought marriage, out as dis
tinct themo lo dwell upon it in a
separate and full wsy, as ond of the
thing of God. When, however, this
has been done, it bus been, nearly
alway, with some, low popular end
in view to draw a gaping crowd,
and then by the exhibition of willi
cism or pictures n fancy, to grntily
the crowd, convulsing it with laugh
ter and merriment an abundance of

obscene novelettes of the doy filling

PRINCIPLES; NOT MEN.
CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10.
It would imply, that we did nut know
Iho fiiot, or that wo did not believe,
from tho evltlcnco that wo have, that
mnrriage is an Institution, and,-as
such it from God, and is divine. We
would not insult your Christian intel
ligenco by entering upon any such
extended and full proof. Influenced
by tho fight of Clirihtianky which
beams around us, wo all acknowledge
that God made man; that mule, and
fcmnlo craned ho thorn; and thut.
subsequently, Ho Himself, in tho Gar
den of Eden, united in tho marriage
relation, the first pair thut wero ever
raised to this high and holy estate.
We till acknowledge besides this,
that God mudo all the luws touching
this holy estate; that be gave to each
of the parties in it tho duties which
respectively belong lo tliem; and that
Lie established tho basis on wlncn ll
rests, the conditions of its permanency
or binding obligation, until ucnlli
shall liar I thorn, and thut bo also
specified tbo circumstances in which
its tie may become broken, ond tho
parties prior to this, are released
All this wo cheerfully acknowledge.
Wo know it from Iho simple, reading
of the lltily Scriptures. The evidence.
nslawyers sny, is tin ma Wit;. . Jl is ull
there, in a form that can't bo misun
dersiood. Me know it, moreover,
from tho traditions of tho past, ex
tending back so fur, that tho memory
ol mail runneth not lo tho contrary.
It was so from tho beginning. In
making this acknowledgment, we own
marriage its an objective institution,
an estate, standing apart from men
and women, ns such : a, lor instance
tho institution of a court, standing
apart from tho people, or a Sacrament,
or the rainbow in the heavens, into
which institution or estuto one man
and one woman enter, in the marriage
act, and by its own force ore made
husband nnd wife; and we further
more own, that this institution or
ostuto, in w hich tbo man becomes the
husband and the woman tho wife, is
from God, and ns to its own nature
wholly und purely divino.
Sow, let us reverently pause At this
point, nnd see that hero is something
entirely abovu nature something far
more thun bumuii feeling, und tlifler
cut from it something inlinilely be
yond what man, cither singly or col
lectively, can make; it is an institu
tion from (jnd, and curries in it divine
power, by which man becomes a hus
band, and woman a wile. !
It is important to mark well the
fact which wo here discover. The
fact simply that n man is a man, does
not make him A husband; and so nJso
the fuel that a woman is a woman,
does tint make her a wife. A btisbuud
is a different thing from a man simply,
and a wife is a different thing from
a woman simply. It involves u now,
superadded diameter in both cases,
which is not given by tho affection
which each feels for the other; because
if this were so, then it would follow,!
lli tt ibey wcro husband and wifo be
fore they entered inlo this institution
orcstatu. This, however, is not the
ease; and to live us husband and wife
prior to this, is to live in tbo deepest
crimo. Ilowover, deeply, sincerely,
and tenderly, two persons of opposite
scies mny lovo each other, and how
ever closely they mny inwardly stand
related to each other on tho ground
of their mutual affection, they aro yet
not husband nnd wile, but only man
ai d woman, who, as marringo is con
cerned, aro as fur apart a the poles ;
which shows, with grcnt clearness nnd
force, thnt tbe emotions of the parties,
that their affection and love for each
other, however ardent and pure its
character, it does not constitute ruar
riugc. Andjnstso, neither can anything
else outside of tho marriago institution
itself, constitute a man a husband,
and a woman a wife. A thousand
legislatures and courts all spcuking
is unison, can no moro produce this
clnraeter than they can create a
pant or span tho .heavens with the
rainbow. Jfan can never make what
it is the prerogative of God only to
constitute.
The character of husband nnd w ife
is given in tho divine institution, nod
by tho Almighty Himself through the
institution.
Hero then, clearly, is un objective
Institution, established by tho Al
mighty, which, by it own nnture, is
divino, carries in it laws und forces of
n mysterious and moulding character,
just ns ninny other institution of
God docs, wbeilier in tho world ol
nature or iho world of grace. Tukejlhe bargaining ol two persons, a mini
the plant tho Iree ; you acknowledge i nll(' woman, had the effect, or could
lis internal lirv of forces, mid you
concedo that lliey belong lo the plant I
us such that God gavo them, and
you cannot destroy them without
destroying tho plant itself, nnd that j
by no thinking or feeling on tho pari i

JM ; tbecascofa Sacrament, Man
cannot make il. Legislatures cannot
cliango it. It i the creature of (Jod,

united to each other, not by man, nor
by the authority of tbo civil law, but
by the act of God Himself. It is God,
iiceoidiii to the plain teaching of the
Scnpturu, who joins ilium together.
"What God has joined together"
not by speaking to them in an audi
ble voice not by laying bis bunds
visibly upon their clasped hands, by
which they symbolically pludgo to
each ollu r mutual love und fidelity,
but iu tbo fact that theybavo entered
(lis institution, which from Him, und
by the force of its own nature, gave
Hum marriage tho relationship of
liiioband and wile, winch can be de
rived from no other aonrco. By the
mystcrioiit. tnd moulding power in
the institution, tho man rises into the
diameter ol a liusbunu, and the wo
man inlo tho character of a wife, on
the ground of (he mysterious fact,
thai tho two are thus made "ono
flesh."
Thus much for tho origin and na
ture of marriage itself, as from God
and involving in its own nuluru a di
vine estate.
II. The next point is, that mar
tinge, being of this divine and objec
tive character, constituted und made
entirely by the Almighty, nnd not in
any sonso by the feelings ol the par
ties, or by anything that man, legis
latures or courts, cun or muy do, it
lies entirely beyond und abovu all hu
man legislation and control.
This must appear evident from
wbut wo havo already seen to bo its
own nature. If it is uu institution of
G'od; if God formed it, und guvo its
laws, laid down its conditions and de
termined its limits and powers, then,
what richt can man have, w hether in
the torn of king, purliument, legislu
ture or L-ourt to come in and seek to
change, modify or limit its character?
It is u iiriueiiilo universally acknowl
edged in ull Christian countries, thut
God is the Supremo Ruler, und that
the institutions which he bus establish
ed stand entirely bcyoivd tbo control
of man ; that mini, in no cunacitv iu
which 1 6 can be placed, singly or
leagued in thousands, can have the
right to change or inodily even the
least essential feature connected with
ihrin : for if man can chaugo whut
God has nude, to suit his mind, then
it is no lunger God's institution, but
mini's, and then, too, God is no longer
I lie sovereign, c full over thut which
Ho made, but man. It is not difficult
to pee the inomtrous ubsurdity which
this would involve, and the. ubsoluie
paganism, if not something worso, in
which it would plungo the world.
l,egilaliires muy enact luws to
guard, protect, and legitimately car
ry out the divino law ol niurriage, but
they cannot cliango tho institution it
sell', or modify any essential part of it
or its requirement : " H'Auf Clod hat
juincil twjiihiT, li t no min put asunder."
Can man, by legislation, cliango the
time or character of tho seasons f

vorco connected w ith marriage, in the
word of God, und this cuuso is udnl
tery., In tbe Sermon on the Mount.
umong tho other grand laws which
wero then laid down, to be of binding
force to Iho end of tho world, our
Lord said : "It hath been said, "Who
soever shall put away bis wife, let him
ivc her a writing of divorcement."
Hut I say unto you, Ibat whatsoever
hliull put away his wile, saving for liio
cuuso of fornication, causclh her to
commit adultery, and whosoever (hall
nisrry her that is divorced coinmittelh
adultery." Jlivorco is limited to but
this one cause, and the giving it for
other cause, is, as we see in tins pas
sage, but to leguliio crime, for tho pur-
tie thus divorced, regurd themselves
us single again, and ready to contract
other alliances, whereas God holds
them still to bo married. The Legis
lature claims tho right to grant di
vorce for anything which, in ilsjudg
ment, outside of tho word of God,
may seem to justify it thus muking
its mind Iho Juw, and ruling out the
clearly expressed mind of God. Is
not this infidelity iu its boldest and
most radical form :
And when tho Legislature grants
divorce fur cause oontiary lo the di
vino luw ol ninrriugc, and gives the
courts power to do the same, do Ibey
only sepuruto tho properly in the case
of tho married couple, or do they also
break, or affect to break, the mur-
riago itself sunder tho two persons?
Their divorce uflects to annul the
marriage itself, to separate "from bond
of matrimony" (a vinculo mtttrimnni)
to break up and destroy the whole
conception of murriuge. Tbo parties
thus divorced, regard thoniselvcs as
singlo and free, as if no marriago had
ever been entered into. If this be so,
and il, morever, tins bo the designed
effect of tho luw, then it follows that,
by the term "ci ll contract," tho whole
of nun lingo and everything that per
tains to it. which it claims thu right
and tho power 10 muko und to un
make, irrespectively ultogethcr of the
mind of God and tho divinity of mar
riago itself!
This we say, nnd say it modest!)',
yet boldly, is Iho infidelity of this
Slate, nnd several others. How can
we, in view of its comprehending so
much ard striking so fatally at the1
authority of God und ut the virtue of
the people, call tho hluto a thrislain
Slate? Wo cuiinot conceivo how this
is possible even in tho way simply of
mere outward compliment.
There is no uncertain sound in the
Scriptures upon this subject. The
riiaii-ecs camo 10 Christ and tempt
ing Him,, asked "Is il lawful for a
man to put away hi w ife ? And He
answerdund said unto ihem, What
did Moses coimnnd you ? And Ibey
said, Moses suffered to write a bill of
divorcement, and to put her nvruy.
And Jesus answered and said unto
them, I'or ibe hardness of your heart
he wrote you this precept ; Hut from
tho beginning of the creation, G'od
mado ihom malo and female. For
this cause shall a man leuvo hi father
und mother, and cleave to bis wife :
nd ,IC.V "' le olio flesh; so
then they are no more twain, bill one
flesh. Yi hul therefore, God has joined,
ke. It is God who joins in marriage,
nnd God only. How can a lower au
thority sunder wliat Ho has joined?
Let no man (in which is included all
forms of human right and authority)
put ns inder w hat he bus joined, cx
cept for Iho cntisc w hich Ho bus as
signed, and then il is not man that
does il, hut God Himself. How can a
Cbristaia people get over or set aidc
this injunction from Heaven ? How
can a Cliristnin people, in conscience,
rest satisfied when this is attempted
on the part of their representatives ?
And look, for a moment, at the ef
fect which have resulted from chang
ing tho Iiivine institution of mnrringo
into a miserable human contract.
Kcspect for it lias been well nigh de

Summer visitors to Sufe Harbor re
collect thut right opposilo to tbe Man
sion House on ihe olher side of the
Conestogn, and a short distance from
tho shore, a bold bluff, covered with
stunted trees and rank verdure, rises
np and shuts off a view of the coun
try beyond. This hill for some weeks
past bus been tho scene nightly of u
singular proceeding. Nevorul men liv
ing in Ihe neighborhood heard repeat
ed un old legend, that years ago, when !
the Indians still roamed the country,
they, on ono ocension, murdered u
number of their while prisoners, se
cured a large qnanlily of go'd, and
buried it on this hill. Tho men bo
cumo impressed with the idea thut tho
gold wasalill there. Accordingly, one
of them came to this city, hunted up
a German astrologer, unci ufter telling
Iho object of Ins vis.t, tho astrologer,
of courso, knew all about it, and advis
ed him to prosecuto tho search. A
spiritualist nf Sui'o Harbor was also
taken into tho sccrol, and he, too, was
sure that the gold could be found if
the proper efforts were mado.
The party wont to work, and for
many nights tho people of tbo neigh
borhood witnessed mysterious lights
moving about the bill, and could not
account for ihem. It was determined
lo investigate Iho matter. A watch
was set u tew nighta since, und ut a
luto hour a most singular scene was
witnessed. In u secluded part of the
bill was three mon with spades nnd
picks digging awuy at a rapid rate.
hue at work tho lorm ol an Indian
appeared, chid in oborigiuul costume
and bedaubed with war paint. An
soon as this apparition stalked forth
the men usichucl lubor, and com
menced a acne of prayers and con
jurations, imploring the defunct chief
to reveal Ihc spot w here tho treasure
was concealed. Tho red man spoke
not ho didn't understand modern
English but w it It gestures indicated
tho prubablo locality, and then disap.
peard.
The party who wcro watching these
operations, however, did not feel sat
istled of Iho unearthly character of
Mr. J,o: and as ha happened lo pass
near Ilium they surrounded him, und
closing up, discovered he was rather
substantial for a denizen of Iho olher
world. Tho war paint and leathers
were stripped off, and lo! a mun well
known in Iho neighborhood slood bo
lero them. That settled the "llig
Injun," but tho discovery had little
ellecl upon the trensuro-seckcr.
They still continue their work, night
nfler night, nnd have dug over a con
siderable portion of the surface, of tho
hill. So strongly imbued are they
with tho superstition, that they will
probably continuo their work until
they unearth tho treasure, or strike

Probably lhi communication look

quito possible, that tbe inhabitants of
Eastern Asiu may have been awureof
tho existence of America, and kept up
an intercourse with it, while our part
of the Old World never dreamed of
its existence. The impenetraUe bar
rier the Chinese were always anxious
to prenorve between themselves and
the rest of tho nations of the Old
World, renders it quite possible that
they should have kert, ibeir knowl
edge of America to themselves, or, at
any rate, from Europe. Tho objection
Ihnt tho art of navigation in such re
mote times was not sufficiently ad
vanced to enable the Chinese to cross
the Pacific and land on tho western
shore of America is not conclusive, a
we have now found Unit arts and sci
ences which were onco generally" sup
posed to bo of quite modern origin,
existed in China sgv and age lie lore
their discovery in Europe. The art
of paper making and priming, umong
others, hud been practiced in Cbiua
long before Europeans hud any idea of
them. Why then should not the
Chincso havo been equally or more in
advance of o in navigation ? Tho
stalely ruins of Bualbec, with gigantic
archeb across tho streets, whoso erec
tion would puzzle our modern engi
neers; the pyramids and other such
remains of stnpendou works point lo
a stnteof civilization and the existence
of arts and science in times of which
European historians gives no account.
Thero is, moreover, n remarkable
resemblance between tho religion of
the Aztecs and the Buddhism ci iho
Chinese, as well us between the man
ners and customs of the Aztecs and
those of tbo pcoplo of China. Thero
is, also, a greul similarity between the

uny rate, remarkable nnd confirmative
of the idea ol emigration from China
to America at some remote period,
that nt the lime of Ihe discovery of
America by the Spaniards tho Indian
