many advantages to reconimend it. We

PITTSB3EGII WEEKLY G. :
ELLIttIOUS IIiTELLIGENCE.
The A4eanes, of Chicago, a Con sire
gatonal.lsrgan, assumes the ground that
the doctrine of Christ is . that marriage ss
indiszoluble .dering life, except on.the
ground of adultery, which is in fact the
sundering of its peculiar bond. Ali
ether wrongs may Justify a temporary Or .
permanent ligal separation, but not ad
mit of re-marriage: It thinks the root
of lax views as to marriage and divorce,
is found , m the pernicious and plausible
doctrine that the only true marriage is
that or spirit, and that all other is if.
ceased or legal adultery. Libertines use
this idea to effect the seduction of their
Tictima. The adulterer uses the same
plea to insert the Mlle of his neighbor's
wife., It argues Very forcibly that the
purity of ' marriage and oft t sotiety—
whose fundamental Institution it is, un
derlying, both Church . ' and State—de
mands that it be indissoluble rove for
the one cause indicated by our Savior.
It commends the course of the Catholic
Church in adhering to this doctrine,

sacrament.'

the soil mellow is a acceseity to good
success. The best mulch, perhsp., is a
covering of garden refuse, grass and
weeds that are removed. These not only
'keep the ground moist. but fortiliza it,
and with that kind of manure which is
the most appropriate and natural to the

also, and its h.ealtLtulor:ss. Our best
success has been with this kind of mulch
and with leaves gathered in autumn and
