DEMONSTRATING the year 1866,
in both the Circuit and Common Pleas
Courts thirty. fUe divorces only were
granted in this county. Of these,
twenty-five were granted upon the APP
plication of females. and ten on the
application of males. By this it will
be seen that the preponderance of
evidence " is in favor Of the female
part of the community; in other
words, that they are by far more true,
as a rule, to their liege lords" than
the " liege lords" are to them-a fact
that ought to make the "coarser ma
lures" blush; but the figures are
against them, and they are said to be
truthful. Now, although our people
have great deal of which they can
boast, in the way of prosperous city,
and all that, little can be said boast
ingly of the number of matrimonial
infelicities in Vanderburgh County,
at least for the last year; for, consid-
ering the facilities afforded for obtain
ing divorces, and the large population
in the county, the number is exceed
ingly small nota fourth of what 9th
Ter counties report. One of the proba-
BILE causes of this great deficiency, as
compared with other counties, is that
our people Of all classes, refect-do
not marry in haste to repent at leis-
ure, " &C.; another is, that when they
have once terminated conjugal en-
gagement, and the honeymoon has
passed, they quietly proceed to make
home happy by industrial pursuits.

Thus it will be seen that the lowest
bid was made by John S. McCorkle,
to whom the contract was awarded.
1t is proposed to. begin the work as
soon as practicable, and finish it to
completion as soon as may be, in or
der that our large juvenile population
may be accommodated The pres
ent crowded state.our public schools
demands thatait should be completed
at the earliest possible period. The
building in the main will be similar
to those already erected, but some i'm
portant changes in the interior con
struction from those now in use, will
/ be made In theschool rooms already
in use, the rostrum is situated in
the corner of each. In the new build
ing the teachers table WILDE located
directly facing or in front, of the
scholars, which will prove great con-
venience to the teachers. The style
of architecture will be somewhat diff
ferent from those already used, and
altogether it will be far more conve-
nient than the old ones.

A GOOD LIFE.

1t is good life, within and without,
that makes the fitting instruments for the
divine hand, or as was sometimes express
it, polished shafts in Gods culver. A
good life is beautiful. 1t helds the OBJ
servers eye as vito a cqarm. 1t begets
disposition to pry into OTIS sources. 1t
raises the wonder how man can live 50
nebly, and excites the wish, the longing
to be good. How many thousands upon
thousands have been thus drawn to Christ?
To them the crucifed and risen Christ
was nothing. They knew him not. But
they had seen his representatives, and
have learned from whence the divine comes
to man. They would be like their friends
md that friend tells them that he has his
life from another; that his goodness is
only the semblance and reflection Of an
others; that none is truly cook save one.
Bnd beside this fitness, as of o magnet,
to draw to Christ-this being a thing Of
beauty to win for Him--he becomes by a
good life a fitting instrument for aggress-
ion. He who can challenge the conf
dence Of his fellows has license to i'm
prove and warn. He whose life is hid
with Christ in god is moved to industry
by his zeal for God Repulse will not
dishearten, nor disappointment chill him.
But let US remember that good life is
worth more thrn steady one, more than
a quiet and inofensive one. 1t is an in
ward force Of goodness, seeking expressions
in work.

to his long.rest. 1t was hard for mother.
so | took her back with me to the city,
and she grieved for father till the day
shs died, and laid her beside him.
And | lived alone in my beautiful
home, for Robert had left that and wealth
enough to live on in comfort, and / saw
little of the gay world around me.
Sometimes passed Gilbert Willard, an
old man with iron gray hair, and but
little left of the Gilbert Of sid.
People said his wife's life was scarcely
worth oaving, for at times she lost her
reason, and would make the house ring
with her wild laughter and cries for her
little Alice who died in her urms. But
for that she was harmless as child.
Ohe day the hearse went by, and I
saw Gilberts white face in the mourn.
ing carriage, and then knew Mary had
found her little Alice again. A long
train of carriages followed-those who
knew and loved her in her Egirlhood be-
fore the great trouble came upan her soul.
| had long forgiven her the wrong, she
did me- One day when the moss had
crept ten years aboue Roberts grave, and
the grass grown three years above Mary.
Gilbert came back to his lon.Iy homo and
opened the windows and let in the sun
shine again, and filled the house with
signs of life. Then he came to me and
said "Matty our lives have all gone
wrong; is it too late to right them %
Then old as l was my heart sprang in
to new life, and for moment was back
in my youth. and then put it down and
said: Gilbert, when Rotsrt died he
said God would light up the world and
be has done it.
"But Matty, can't you light it up for
me9 1t has all gone wrong"
"God can right it better than I've
are too late"
Then We will keep their memories sa-
cred, and leave it for the other life to
finish" ..-.
So Fam waiting the end of my days,

passcth all understanding" and we wait
fsr time when there is neither tmarrying
nor giving in marriage, yet l shall be

A HAPPY ILYsTRAT1oN. Albany
Evening Journal has the following happy
illustrs .on of the way that the Presidents
new plan would be likely TO work:
The Presidential programme only prov
ides that amnesty for the rebels and de-
claration CT their right to representation,
shall be incorporated upon the Federal
Constitution while the matter of suffr-
age is to be left for regulation by the
States, which are of course competent to
alter or amend next year, what they enact
this year. We remember reading of lad
who asked little comrade to lend him
his stick of peppermint candy, in order
that he might show how to swallow it,
and then pull 1t out Of his left ear The
youngster complied, when the assumed
magrician ate the candy. and aftarward,
with many grimacipgs and jerkings Of his
ear, declared that he had forgotten the
last part of the trick If we concedo the
rebels representation, control of State Gov
ernments. complete amnesty for past Of
fences, and unobstructed future power.
upon condition that they will some time
or other do justice to the freedmen and
other loyal inhabitants, it is just possible
that they may forget the last partof the
trick.
