That will put an end to brokerages in marriage. That will send divorce lawyers into a de- cent business. That will set people agitated for many years on the ques- tion ot how they shall get away from each other to planning how they can adjust themselves to the more or less unfavorable circumstances. What we want is that the congress of the United States move for the changing ot the national constitution so that a law can he passed which shall be uniform all over the country and what shall be right in one state shall be right in all the states. and what is wrong in one state will be wrong in all the states. How is it now? If a party in the marriage re- lation gets disaatitrtled, it is only neces- sary to move to another state to achieve liberation from the domestic tie, and divorce is ettected so easily that the that one party knows of it is by seeing it in the newspaper that Rev. Dr. Somebody a few days or weeks aft- erward introduced into a new marriage relation a member ot the household who went ott on a pleasure excursion to Newport or a business, excursion to Chicago. Married at the bride‘s house; no cards. There are states of the union which practically put a premium upon the disintegration ot the marriage relation, while there are other states, like the state ot New York, which has the pre-eminent idiocy of making marriage lawful at twelve and fourteen years of age. in tun, then men and women will not enter the relation with the idea it is only a. trial trip and it they do not like it they can get out at the ttrat landing, then this whole question will be taken out of the frivolous into the tremendous, and there will be no more Joking about the blossoms in a bride's htetlytrt about the cypress on a cottin. co/ Ban Francisco, 883 divorces in one, l year ; in New England in one year, 2,113 i a divorces, and in twenty years in Newi I England, 20,000.

Rome for 500’ Years had not one case of divorce: Those were her days of glory and i virtue. Then the reign of vice began, , and divorce became epidemic.

Ask the counsel of father and moth- er in this most important step of your life. They are good advisers. They are the best friends you ever had. They made more sacyifiees for you than any one else ever did, and they will do more to-day for your happiness than any other people. Ask them, and, above all, ask God. I used to smile at John Brown of Haddington because. when he was about to otter his hand and heart in marriage to one who be- came his lifelong companion, he open- ed the conversation by saying, "Let us play." But 1 have seen so many shipwrecks on the sea of matrimony i have made up my mind that John Brown of IPaddingttun was right. A union formed in prayer will be a happy union. though sickness pale the cheek and poverty empty the bread tray and death open the small graves and all the path of life be strewn with thorns, from the marriage altar with its wedding march and orange bloB- soms clear on down to the last fare- wcil at the gate where Isaac and Re- becca, Abraham and Sarah. Adam and Eve, parted. And let me say to you who are in this relation. If you make one man or woman happy you have not lived in vain. Christ says that what He is to the church you ought to be to each other, and if sometimes, through the difference of opinion or difference of disposition. you make up; your mind that your marriage was a mistake, patiently bear and forbear, remembering that there is glory in the patient endurance of a sad yoke. Life at the longest is short, and for those who have been badly mated in this i Our. ministers in some regions have i no defense such as they have in other [ melons where the harms must be pre- 1 “only published and an officer of the ) law must give a. certificate that all is _ right, so clergymen are left defenseless and unite those who ought never to be united. Perhaps they are too young, or perhaps they are standing already in some domestic compact. By the wreck of ten thousand homes, by the holocaust of ten thousand sacrificed men and women, by the hearthstone of the family, which is the cornerstone of the state, and in the name ot that God who hath set up the family institution and who hath made the breaking of the marital oath the most appalling of all perjuries, I implore the congress of the United States to make some righteous, uniform law for all the states and from ocean to ocean on this subject of marriage and divorce. Let me say to all young people, be- fore you give your heart and hand in holy alliance, use all caution. Inquire outside as to habits, explore the dispo- sition, scrutinise the taste, question the ancestry. and find out the ambi- tions. Do not take the heroes and the heroines of cheap novels for a model. Do not put your lifetime happiness in the keeping of a man who has a repu- tation tor being a little loose in morals or in the keeping of a woman who dresses immodestly. Remember that while good looks are a kindly gift of God, wrinkles or accident may despoil them. Remember that Byron was no more celebrated for his beauty than for his depravity. Remember that Ab- salom's hair was not more splendid than his habits were despicable. Hear it.' Hear it'. The only foundation tor happy marriage that ever has been or ever will be is good character. i A rigorous divorce law will'also do i much to hinder hasty and inconsider- fate marriages. Under the impression , that one can be easily released, people ': enter the relation without inquiry and iwithout reflection. Romance and im- l, pulse rule the day. Perhaps the only 'ground tor the marriage compact is l that she likes his looks,and he admires ',the graceful way she passes around 'the ice cream at the picnic! It is all ( they know about each other. It is all :'the preparation for life. A man not Iable to pay his own board bill, with "not a dollar in his possession, will I stand at the altar and take the loving {hand and say, “With all my worldly :goods I thee endow." A woman that l could not make a loaf ot bread to save :her life will swear to love and keep ihim in sickness and in health. A iChristian will marry an atheist. and i that always makes conjoined wretch- ledness; for if a man does not believe there is a God he is neither to be trusted with a dollar nor with your lifelong happiness. Having read much about love in a cottage, people brought up in ease will go and starve in a hovel.
