To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the th'st instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the p' or, by siding and increasing the power of existing local Institutions which have this object in view. To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases es legitimately telong to them alone, to aid the police and the M en di c it y S oc i ety, to d etect i mposture, an d t o bring to the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing charitable associations those cases for which their several I nstitutions were established. Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the cl ergy —ministers of all denominations, medical profession, or agents of an y ex i s ti ng S oc i e ty, will be relieved as far as !)ssible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to district committees and local responsible persons appointed by them for the purpose. No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the central office. The promoters of this movement now come forward, not ca a any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the I ry, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years laboriously engaged. ,They now claim to be met in the spirit i n w hi c h th e y advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly i ntercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable associations have in view. The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds, which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to the relief of genuine distress.

THE GREAT SOCIAL MYST ERY.—The recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has raised up a new problem which taxes the ingenuity of social philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for the sanctity of its domestic ties, it appears unaccountable that so many marriages, contracted under circumstances apparently auspicious, should result in sorrow, disgust, and degradation, and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock had passionately loved each other. It the inquirers into the cause of this mystery had consulted the great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional theories, they might I , robably have had lets difficulty in arriving at the truth. Have they ever sufficiently considered how much these constant revelations of unhappy marriages may be connected with a peculiar INFLUENCE, frequently originatinfy, in corrupt associations at college, or at school. and the pernicious effects of which, too often unsuspected by medical men, poison the very well-springs of life, and produce many of the disappointnaents witnessed in the connubial state. It is a matter that deeply concerns. the well-being of thou sands who have no idea of the danger that threatens them. Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there. be not something in his past life which admits of the possi— bility that he himself may be concerned, either at present or. prospectively, in the subject.
