"A STRAY THOUGHT. -
by NINA NELSoYN.

-:O:
On, happy is the bachelor,
No trouble does he borrow;
With books, cigars,-a dog and cnt,
He's nought to do with sorrow.
And fairer, brighter, happier far
Would be this world Of shades,
Were all the men old bachelors,
And all the girls old maids
If Hymen's altar d not BEEN raised,
Or Cupid's bow been strung,
Tha cares and woes of married life
Would still remain unsung.
No domineering husbands now
Der earth would bear the sway
Or cause from woman'r lips to fall
The promise to obey.
No lonely. sad, neglected wife,
Or breaking hearts should be;
Oh, no indeed-'twere better far
To live alone,-but free.
No husband with gentle wife
Lies cup of joy should minglc,
Or let her share with him its woes
sU,.,au, LIT to t,uo ein.lo
And if his heart with anguish wild,
Or heavy sorrows smitten,
Oh, let him turn for sympathy,
To some pet dog Or kitten;
Oh, let them cheer with words Of love,
When low he bends with sadness
And whisper, in melting tone,
OF future joy and gladneaS.
Or if within the grave he's called
His weary head to pillow,
Oh, let them weep above his couch,
And plant DER him the willow.
No wife should watch his faintest breath.
Or wipe his brow when dyingj
His steed's s,oeet neigh,--not her sobs,
Should echo where he's lying
Alone, unlovcd, unmatched. unwept,
He'd pass deaths darksomc portal.

devised, and put in operation, for the benefit
of Common Schools.

perlected-can we not have law that will
afford US the benefits, already being derived
from School Laws IN other sections.

the following would be of some benefit

Passmore UiRiamson's Case. -Phiadel-
phia, Oct % la the District Court to-day,
petition was presented from Passnore
Williamson, aud partly read, when Judge
Kane said That Williamson had right to
apply To the Court to purge himself from
contempt, but this must be the first step.
The petition not being such purgation, but
apparently n kind of remonstrance against
his Imprisonment, he could not receive it,
but upon reasonable notice would here coun-
sci upon any preliminary question After
an argument by Mr.. Meredith on behalf Of
williamson. to which the District Attorney
replied, Judge Kane reiterated that he could
receive no communication from the party in
contempt; the first step must be an applca-
ton for leave to purge himself Of contempt
that done, he would be reinstated before the
Court, aud have the same rights as before
commitment. If Counsel differed with the
Court, It will willingly hear any argument
on that point.

Bogus Insurance. Companies The Ton
tine Fire Insurance Company Of New York
city, has been stopped by Mr. Cook, State
Comptroller. 1t appears that this concern
was organized in May last; its officers swore
to bona fide capital of 100000. Some
twenty agents were appointed with the night
to large fees for procuring risks. They had
driven hard, and succeeded IN getting nearly
$1,000 for 4i6 policies on risks amounting
IN the aggregate, to several hundred thous-
aud dollars. James Pierson was the Presi-
dent, and J. ". Freedom, Secretary. This
makes the seventh or eighth Of this sort Of
spurious companies which have been shown
up in New York State since the act Of 1855,
relating to Insurance companies, was passed

Changes in Iriidnd. Mr.. +. Darcy Nc
IN the Tabernacle, before some five or six
hundred persons, on ireland as he recently
found IL" lie found il changed--wonderful-
ly changed from what 1t was when he left it
seven years ago. Railroads have permealed
the country much to the advantage of the
people. Railroads have, as 1t were, shaken
them up infused into them new ideas con-
corning the transaction of business caused
them to appreciate the difference between an
hour and a week; the value of money, and
the profits of promptness, and in intelligent
attention to worldly affairs. Railroads, in
fact, have taught Ireland to think, and think
ing Ireland has come to understand some
thing of the ways by which the people of
other nations have progressed toward com
fort, wealth and happiness. Then again, the
Gglic language is becoming obsolete, and
the English is taking its place--much, in the
opinion of the lecturer TO the future advan-
tage of ireland. With these advantages,
however, the lecturer feared the evils that
might arise from careless adoption of Eng
lish literature. From the time of Elizabeth
to comparatively recent period, there was
scarcely an English Book in which the beast
Illness and nasuness of the Saxon was not to
be found sufficiently glaring to prevent its
being read without injury. The right to in.
divldual opinion and judgment was either
defended or taken for granted in English lit
erature, and thus far it was IN opposition to
the great doctrine so firmly fixed in every
Catholic mind-iha, when the Creator left
his Constitution for our Government, he left
| also perpetual Interpretation and head. In
this connection the change was dangerous,
and evil consequences could only be prevent

0FTnE FREE LOVE LEAets, "a secret
order Of males and females, with a dozen
"grandn degrees of New York city, broken
up by the police last week, was no doubt a
bad affair, and its meetings, if not entirely
composed of the abandoned and lcentious,
were apparently resort of snch characters
as could be tolerated IN no decent assem-
blage. The concern is thus described:
The Free Love League was organised by,
and Is at present under the control of Ste
phen Pearl Andrews. who Is unrestricted
leader of the Order, recognizing no author
Nv but that of his own will. The members
meet as often as once IN each week. in a
room No. 555 Broadway, over Tayler's u p
per Saloon Those who bring ladies' are
charged ten cents for admission those who
are unaccompauied by any representative OF
the fair sex, are taxed twenty-five cents. -
! The cause Of this is the dangerous prepon>
/ deunce OF mascuinity at the gatherings of
the League.
The object Of these meetings is To fhcili-
taio eoviai intercourse, and establish the
/ grand principle of the liarmonal intercourse
of the sexes. For instance, a woman may
be married and the mother of children but
/ in case she should feel IA harmonious sym
paihy" for some individual other than her
husband, these philosophers would accord to
her perfect freedom TO leave the latter for
the former. The same principle of course
applies to the unmarried Of both sexes. 1t
is easy to forclel what the condition of So
cfeiy would be IN case these theories should
prevail.
When the Free Love League was estab-
lished, 1t did not number more than forty oil
fifty members. Il is now said to count over
twelve hundred members in the city of New
York alone, with branches IN many Of the
larger cities of the Union.
