Cady stanton on Matr.f-
Inony--AdvicQ to the Un-
married and it's Effect.

Mrs. Stanton has been making
trouble out West. II seems that she
recently delivered a lecture In st.
Paul to ladies exclusively" and
with what iireful result let the Po-
acer tell:
The lecture, which was upon the
rights aud wrongs Of women, mar
riage and maternity, was very in
teresting and instructive ono. All
were charmed with the delicate.
agreeable manner I'm which the
speaker treated the different topics
that were considered. She argued
that young ladies ought not to marry
before they were twenty-five years
old. As u large proportion of her
audience were young, unmarried
ladies, this part of the discourse was
not very well relished. 1t is said
that one young lady of eighteen
summers, the day for whose marriage
had been fixed for some time In June
next, last evening informed the gem
tleman ta whom she IL to be married
that the time must be postponed for
seven years. He protested, but she
was fixed In her determination, and
declared that IL was no use talking,
Mrs. Stanton said no young lady
ought TO be married before she was
twenty-five years old, and she would
not be married IA minnit afore that
time III IL took the last coil of flax
She had on her head" The young
man left to reflect upon the matter,
and Notwithstanding that he belong
ed to the Young Mems Christian As
sociation, he was heard using some
very hard words about Mrs. Stanton.

Popular in his present capacity, he

The appointment to this trust.

milton of his valuable services. That

perintendent no one will pretend for
moment to question, His long
time association with the road, the
thorough knowledge of his business
which he has acquired, aud his famil
iarity with railroad matters, peculiar
ly qualify him to superintend its
affairs,

Husbands are not often outwitied az
completely rs one of our citizens has
just been 10y his wife. Last January
lie bade her an afIectionate good bye,
and left for Missouri to buy farm.
He found good stretch of cultivated
land, and on Ii erected substantial
house. Then he came home for his
wife, and found that to that article he
had no claim. After he left for Mis-.
souri,, his better half quietly applied
for divorce. She presented her
claim--it was not resisted. The hus.
band. away among the rich farms of
our Southern sister, knew nothing OF
the matter, and she was speedily re
leased from her marital obligations
She lived alone, wondering what her
former spouse would think of the
business, until last evening, when
that individual dropped into town
He walked rapidly home, noted the
light in the open window, thought of
the happy greeting to be his speedily,
and raped gently at the door. The
wife that was, opened IL. saw the hus
band that isn't, and banged the door
i'm his face. Here was welcome as
was welcome. He thought it
queer time for joking, and SO stated.
Very bluntly then came the answer,
that he hadn't any business there
that she was legally released from
his protection and support, that he
had better quit barking up the wrong
tree, and that If he didn't believe II
to go to Court and examine the re.
cords. The exhusband left the prem
ises. He slept alone last night, and
this morning If he looks over the
court records he will find that the
woman wasn't estray i'm her declara.
