MATRIMONIAL Observation-Disclosures PHILo-
soPHY.--We havein the following case, reported by
the Rochester Union, lair exhibition OF the fruits
OF sensual philosophy inculcated in MARY Lyn-
den."--
A somewhat singular case came mp at the police
Office yesterday. man about iorty-five years OF
age, named Patten was brought up, charged with
asserting his family, his wife appearing as the COM
painant. The family consisted OF the vile and
three children one an infant. The wife stated that
Patten had left her without support, and wis CO.
habiting with another female, somewhat her junior.
Patten did not deny that he had ceased to live with
his wife, and had taken to his bosom another woman;
bt he attempted to show that his conduct mad been
proper. He then went on to state that many years
slnce--when first mayried-he and his wife lived b.
gether in harmony, because their views spiritual
matters conceded. He said, when the Second Adj
vent doctrine--wbich the vulgar called Millerism-
was preached, he and his vile both embraced the
iaith OF the Saviour. In later years, he became con-
vinccd that the seventh instead OF the first day OF
the week was the Sabbath, and on this point his
wife haimonized, and all went on smoothly.
About year ago. q question came up a. to the re-
silIIectiOn, and on this point they could not agree.
He concluded, after closely consulting his Bible.
that the resurrection was only spiritual one. His
wife insisted that the body was to be raised Also
Here there was an irreconcable difference, and
that Patten thought sufficient to lead to sepa-
ration. He said that he could not live with NO
man who did not harmonic with hiin in his views
spiritual matters, and had, therefore, forsaken
his wife, and found q female who thought az he did
on this point Here the wife, who had listened IN
his statement very patiently, interrupted him, by
saying that she thought the newly found female
agreed with him quite as well on carnal as on spirit
uai matters.
Patten said that could not be shown by evidence
and went on with his narrative, concluding by as
sorting that there must be harmony on spiritual
things between man and wife TO enable them 10 live
together. he said he would not i've with q woman
who did not think o. he did on religious questions
The magistrate required him 10 give bail for the
maintenance Of his wife aud children and threatened
him with another kind OF punishment ii heviolated
the law in order to live in spiritual harmony
