biography Of Gor. .indre,r.

Albert @. Browne, IT,, Is writing "sketch Of
the Official Life Of Gov. Andrew"; and from
his long snd intimate connection with this emf
nent and truly good man, ne one 70 mere CON-
petent. It IL not intended as .Lfe," or full
biography, which Is being prepared BY another
gentleman, but series Of sketches which came
under his own personal observations. We give
below ono which is truly characteristic Of tho
Governor:
"Great was his indignation one dreary Alter
noon, tho day bcSors Christmas. at finding that
the office Of the Secretary Of the Commonwealth
wss closed half On hour earlier tIan usual.
There was q severe now-storm raging, which
suspended business through the city, and THO
clerks Of that Office had closcl Il, forgetting that
there should have been drawn and forwarded
upstairs during the day, for the Governors
signature, pardon which hSd been granted TO
q convict In the State Prison, according TO o
custom which prevailed with him to grant one
pardon, upon the Recommendation Of It's WET
den, every Christmas morning. II irritsted him
that the clerks below should have forgotten such
duty. During his own harl work through
the day, the thought Of the happiness which
the morrow would hiring, TO that convict hal
lightenci his heart, and he fclta positive pain
that others should not have shared that feeling.
Though unwell, he hastily broke out Of tho
room, walkel through the driving snow ACROSS
the city to the house Of one Of the officers Of
the State Department, brought him back TO tho
State House, stood by him while the pardon Was
drawn and the great seal Of the commonwealth
was affixed to Il, signed IL, and then despatched
II by one Of his secretaries to the warden at
Charlestown." ..-..s.

enc ths sboys extract with the following which
closes his rhapsody; -. -
1.-THE republicans Of York County arc an1-
ious 10 waive their rights in the Conrcntion Tor
the sake Of his Lynch receiving third nomi-
nation, the Democratic party will not bewan the
weakness which gives such consent.
If"Mr. Lynch u as strong - any man ns
radicals can nominate" we are unable to un-
,ier,tand "the weakness" Of such nomination,
and while we should hardly dare challenge
shaw's brilliancy. (D the two paragraphs seem
slightly ''muddled"-to use his own classic
phrase, or would, II any common man had writ
ten them. Perhaps Shaw's conundrum means
that against himself all men are weak, and the
"radicals" must be defeated IL they dare to run
any man in opposition to him., But, II this Is
the true answer, why should he be 50 anxious
about the Republican nomination!

The CIcrnu Waking Up.

Ono ofthe ministers Of Diddef6rd, on last Sab
bath, while referring to the sins Of the commun'-
ty, stated that "thcrc were, at the present day,
nearly Ms many divorces grantcl by tho Courts
as there we're marriages solcmhiIcd " If this Is
q fact, or any where near a fact, II must be we
have fallen on evil times, and laws, instead Of
being ''madc for the hwless," as In tho early
days Of our country, seem to be made for the
accommodation of the lawmakers. We notice
that writer in one Of our Western papers where
divorces are more frequent and more easily oh
tanned than In the East, suggests that "scneral
divorce law" somewhat, we suppose, like the
present Bankrupt law be enacted, and that, for
a certain length Of time, all married people who
wish shall have the privilege Of taking advan-
tagc Of Il; that Registers Of Divorce have the
same power as Registers In Bankruptcy, and
that any married man or woman may file pc
titiou praying ''that they may have = full dis
charge from all their married obligations under
the Divorce Act, ETC., etc.," and that suitable
places be appointed for hearing such cascr. This
would do away with large amount Of expense,
and offer an opportunity to rub out all unpleasant
marriage contracts. However near our Western
friend may he to tho bcst methoi, no has GER
tAinly better one than the Law furnishes at the
prvseat time. There Is now, and has been Coz
the lask ten ycazs, too little solemnity attached
30 the marriage covenant Tho obligations ARE
taken In such way that there %, In reality,
yry little binding in them, and they are, in most
eases, administered hurrielH and In anything
but solemn manner; The Fever words said the
better. Perhaps the person administering the
rite thinks " the less promises there are made
tie less there win be 10 Be broken" We read In
an exchange the other day Of i woman In West
crn State who had been married Ave times Ia
two years and divorced four times, and the edi-
tot Suggested thst che wouh probably get rid Of
the present incumbent somstins during the
s1mmsr, % - % ''conmnce winter cam

such stats Of things, yvt Il b, neverthe.as
deplorSble. snd We heartily wish that every
clergyman In the State would MOI only Lin up
his Voios against this rapidly Increasing syi.
