It was very interesting 10 the Lampman to read that Toronto cler- gymen are strdhgly opposed to a ju; dicial divorce court for Canada. They would rather that the "old lads" of the senate would continue to be res galed with divorce evidence, and make it as hard as possible for the poorer classes to secure the same treatment as the rich, when they deserve it. The Lampman wonders why churches will msist upon ascribing to the Maker all marriages, a hig number of which are anything bot divinely ordained, a good many in Kingston being included in this class. He is pretty sure that the union of adulterers and of brutish men to gentle women was not sang- | tioned by the Almighty Lampman has not heard of any ous townsman presenting a fur- nace to the Iufants' Home on Union street. He read in the press recently that one was needed, and that the mayor had donated a ten-spot. While this institution is in need; the Lamp- man learns that its next door sah bor, at the University avenue torner, has money to loan. The Orrhans' Home might "divy up" with its less fortunate sister institution, for the two are pretty much akin and might be made into one. Wh not ask the} uccessful ~+voralty candidate to buy the furnace? Christmas is no longer merry to the boozer, who cannot get his drink.

When it puts religious fervour into a man, should there be any objec- tion to him taking a regular dose? The other day, the Lampman was told that a townsman, whe had im- bibed pretty freely the night before, awakened on the Sabbath morning in a tranquil frame of mind, and found himself singing a hymn. His wife was delichted to hear the sacred song from her haboy. The townsman is now likely to take a good! quantity | of religious "tonic™ Saturday night.
