TT the testimony Of the Rev. Mr. Marvin before
bs sorr, cate, in the matter Of DR.. Burdel's viii,
:, nepcrted correctly, be seems TO have adopted an
exceedingly dangerous practice. According to tina.
report he is in the habit of recording marriages in
bis book before they take place; but if they do not
take place, be always scratches them out again
Now, suppose-wh.St it seems does mesimes hap.
pen-that the parties to one Of these prematurely
recorded marriages do NOT come up to the scratch;
and further, what certainly mag happen, that before
scratching out his record the Rev. Mr.. Marvin
should happen to die-aud Of the liability Ofus all
to sudden death, he breaches it to others, cer
gyman surely ought 10 be aware for himself-this
would place the parties named in the record in
rather awkward position In ignorance of this
record against them, they might both proceed to
select other partners, thus exposing themselves to
suspicion of bigamy on the part of any person who
might come to knowledge of the record; or should
who can tell, in care there was property in the
question, what lawsuits might result :
The idea of leaving the proof of marriage to de-
pend on clergyman's record kept as clergymen's
records uay fairly be expected to be, is absurd.
Those who regard marriage as more or less sacra-
ment, do well to have a cergymsn's blessing; but
considered in the light of civil contract, having
certain civil consequences, marriage ought to be
entered into before some civil officer, and should
be duly recorded in some public and permanent
Office There are many provisions in the last
English marrisge act which our Legislature at
Albany might copy with advantage.

WASHIsGTos. Monday, March =, 1857.
Tie Senate resumed the consideration of the resoln-
ton from the Committee Judiciary, providing for
taking testimony relative TO the contested election OF
Mr. Fitch. Senator from Indiana.
Mr.. TRUMBULL saw no Decessity 10 take aiditonh
testimony. He regarded this as an extraordinary
proposition The professionals aege that there was no
Joint convention Of the two branches on the day OF
election and that is not denied by the sitting Der
Who only afiirms that he elected by majority of
all the members composing the Legislature OF tue
State they being there and for that purpose assembled
in joint convention. There issue with regard
10 facts about which it was competent to take parole
testimony.
MIR. FITCH replied, saying that Mr.. Trumoull had
assumed on previous occasion and repeated that as
sumption 10 day that all the facts before the Sem
ate but he denied the correctness OF that statement
When ali the facts shall be laid before the Senate they
would raise the blush of shame on some OF The other
side If they were not insensbe TO that emotion. The
iourna about which so much had been said, was not
that Of the Legislature, but merely the journal OF
mob not recognized by the constitution OF Indiana.
The Senator from Illinois had presented Two papers,
one of which purported 10 be copy OF the journal ana
the other the original Journal and had also gwen what
he called AN abstract of facte but Mr.. Fitch remarked
that theie psperr confcted with both, and neither OF
the three told the truth.

he enters upon the work and prosecutes it
with the fixed purpose of putting off the ar
mour only when he is prepared to put on
that of light in glory. -.
The rescued victims of Intemperance es-
pecially need the impelling influence of such
motives, to keep them from temptation and
to enable them to persevere. They have
often under the reign of depraved appetite
set the world at defiance and disregarded
temporary evils and even the death of the
body, but now under the influence of piety
they will regard Him that hath power to cast
both soul and body in He'll forever. The
light of Gods glory around calvary reveals a
suffering Saviour able and willing to save,
saying in accents of love ''and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. -
What is gain or pleasure from sin when put
in contrast with heavenly joys or eternal
woes! 1t is the part of wisdom then to avail
ourselves of such motives and influences
when we would keep men from the evil of
Intemperance. To neglect them is to throw
away our strength and to trihe with the pre-
sent and future interest of men, and to retard
and endanger the work in which We are en-
gagged. Yours truly,

A THRIFTY PARsoN.-A donation party
was given the other day to clergyman il
one of our New England villages, and
among the articles he received was superb
tile from the Genin Of the place. The
parson, much pleased with the hat, ventur.
ed to ask the donor what such . hat ought
to be worth? tThat is an eight dollar hat,
was the reply. The parson turned it over
again, renewed his thanks to the halter and
remarked thatit was ivery fine, very fine ihhs
deed : and SO they parted. -. Z, :
The next day the parson wended his way
to the hatter's store, and after the customa-
ry salutation, took him i asiae id observed that
be was not accustomed to wear hats worth
eight dollars; thata four dollar hat was
good enough for him-a plenty. He con
cluded by proposing toexchange the hat be
had received for four dollar one, and 10
take the balance in money Fact!
