Being, the absolute Spirit. the supreme and only
God-Para Brahm; him they cannot worship,
for he is literally an unknown God. He has no
qualities, no attributes, no activity lie isHeither
the object of hope, fear love, nor aversion Since
there is nothing in the universe but spirit and
illusive appearances, and they cannot worship
spirit because It is absolutely unknown, they
must worship these Appearances which are nj
any rate dtUtte appearances, and which do nos
sess some traits, qualities, character are objects
of hope and far. But they cannot worshin them
as appearances, they must worship them as per-
sons. But AZ they have an inward personality or
soul, they become real beings, and also beings
independent of Brahm, whose Appearances thev
are. They must therefore have an outward ppr-
sonality; in other words, n body u shape en-
blematical and characteristic; that is to saw thew
become idols.
Accordingly, idol worship is universal i'm
India The most horrible and grotesque images
are carved IN the stone OF the grottoes, stand
in rude, block-like statues in the temple or are
cOarsely painted on the walls. Figures of men
with heads of elephants, or of other ami
mails, or with six or seven human heads, some
times growing in a pyramid, one out of the
other, sometimes with six hands growing from
one shoulder-grisly and uncouth monsters. like
nothing in nature, yet too grotesque for svm-
bols-such are the objects of the Hindoo
worship.

In England number of women artists find pro-
ftable employment as illustrators of works and
magazines; but hitherto little or nothing has
been done in this line this side of the Atlantic
aud we are very glad to see this very meritorious
design by Miss Curtis, and we hope that it will
encourage others to qualify themselves to enter
on the same field of labor. The contents of our
Young Folks, as usual, include variety of in
teresting sketches, stories, and verses suited to
juvenile tastes.
Our SchoOl-ddy Visitor for May, published by
Daughaday & Becher, is up to its usual standard
of excellence. An attractive table of contents
is given, and the smallest readers, as well as
those who are more advanced will find some
thing entertaining and instructive in the stories
and sketches. brief biography of Rev. Alex
ander Clark, the founder of the magazine, is
interesting.

Interesting Marriage Controversy.

Before Judge Barnard.
Aadre,o Carr Us. PhRbe PedrsdH.-Ths action was
brought to enforce tine recognition Of an alleged
informal marriage claimed to have taken place some
twenty years ago between the plaintiff and defend
ant. The parties never cohabited as man and wife,
aud the plaintiff claims 1t was understood that the
marriage relation was not TO be recognized de Jdcto
until the happening Of an event IN relation to the
requirement OF property by the defendant, which
was not expected to occur for several years after
the alleged marriage. The complaint asked the
court TO adjudge the marriage valid ono. to give
the plaintlr the care ana custody OF the wife, and
that generally he be awarded his marital rights
The defendant answered and denied on oath all the
circumstances that were claimed constituting the
marriage; also denied that any marriage was ever
recognized, and alleged that the present suit was
brought for the purpose Of extorting money from
her.
Mr.. Eaton, on behalf of the defendant, moved for
dismissal Of the complaint, on the ground that the
court had no jurisdiction to entertain such an &C.
tion; that no reiief could be given under the COM
plant; that the action was one over which tribu-
nal except Spiritual courts, ever had jurisdiction,
and that IL was unknown 10 the jurisprudence OF
thls country or the statute law OF the State.
Judge Barnard conceded in this view OF the case,
and dismissed the Complaint For plaintill, A. II. IL.
DAWSON; for defendant, Mr.. Eaton.

What Constitutes Sham Answer-Opinion
by Judge Mcneil.

What Constitutes n Sham Answer-Opinion
by Judge Mcneil.
Wllidm o. Roonle, et al, Respondents, rs. Gran
ctte Nicholson ct a., Appelants.-Judge Mcneil has
endered the following interesting opinion In this
ase:-
The anldavits used upon the motion at Special
Term established clearly TWO facs:-
FWst-Ihat the coal III question was the property
OF The plaintiffs and was sold by them 10 the de1end
Setond-That Bass, who made the sale, was the
agent OF the painiills to make the SALE
These facts are not contradcted. The most that
the defendants Claim is tnat lass represented to
them that the coal onged to ana lie selling 1t
for Packer Son; or that they supposed they pur-
chased 1t from such latter nrm. The unauthorized
representation OF the plaintiffs agent will defeat
the plaintlf's right to recover Tne representation
made in Tins not only not within the scope
OF the agents authority but was IN direct hostility 10
the purpose for which he was appointed; and
however much the defendants may have been mis-
led, they cannot await themselves OF false repre-.
seGtatlons OF the agent to defeat the recovery OF
the principal. tN. \. Life ms Co. Beebe T. n. Y.
r., 364) NO DOUBT the defendants believed they were
making the purchase Of Packer Il son, but when
they made tier answer they had been Informed that
the purchase was in tact made by the plantls; aud
tney must therefore have known that their answer
was untrue, unless they designed or hoped to defeat
the action 10y means Of the representations OF Bass
As such representations cannot affect the plaintiffs,
rights, and tnere Is no possible doubt upon tho
proofs now before the Court that tho plajutlfrs
must succeed, 1t was correct 70 strike out the
L i Untrue Il ac ana aa@ snsTsF wSsIbsr Is 'as, s
party ipakln2 the answer knew OF Its unruth. II
The court Can see than 1t s false should be stricken
out notwiths tanding the defendant may hsvs Ia
lieved IL to ne true. 1t ls not necessary 20 adudoe
defendant guilty Of perjury, gt s1sn to impute to
him such crlme In holding his answer to be false.
lie may have made his allegations in perfectly good
faitn, believing them to be wholly true; aud yet
tho Court satisfied by proof that such allegations arc
untre must strike the answer from the record. That
