Wicked New YOrk---A Sad State
of Affairs.

| The New York correspondent of the
Buffalo Courier, after reviewing the in
cidcnts connected with the reccn
Sleepy Hollow and assignation house
tragedics-both of which he attributes
to the prevalence Of free love, "witl
which the best society is rotten'-
gives this lamentable picture of social
relations in that city:
AT moderate calculation there arc
u thousand married men III New York,
each Of whom distributes his attention
between his wife and one or two 9th
cr women. Or, to speak more plainly
there are this number of married men
who keep mistrcsscs, and these mistres
ses generally receive more attention
and money from the husbands Of other
women than the same husbands give 10
their wives. These husbands are re
spectacle men, as the world goes, liv-
ing in good style and associating with
the cultivated, fashionable classes. In
Il large number Of cases their wives
know that they are false to their mari
tai VOWS, and many Of these wives are
just as false us their husbands.
We have proof Of this almost daily
in the reports Of divorce cases, and OF
the discovery of general moral loose
ness in certain circles. And besides
the husbands who keep mistresses,
there are many a very laTge number
who regularly visit houses Of i'll repute
Again, there are thousands of unmar-
ried men who keep up lasons with
married women in boarding houses,
rnd again, Il very large number who
sapport unmarried women in boarding
houses, or live with them there as their
husbands. Still these men and women
pass in society as respectable people;
cultivated fashionable and in comfort
able circumstances. There is scarcely
Il so called respectable street in New
York in which such men and women
rs those have m entioned may not be
found. They may even be found
among pretty regular church goers,
but this is not to be wondered ut. 1t
is only aicw days since Dr. Frothing-
hams congregation presented him with
IN address indorsing his whole con-
nection with the Richardson. .AIcFar-
land sacrlege, including, Of course
his thanks to heaven for what Richard
son and Mcfarland had been to each
other before the sacrilegious marriage
AS | have said, this excellent modern
society Of isms is rotten with free love,
md | shall not be surprised if many
more free-love tragedies occur during
he year.

The Case of Miss Gray of Fort
Edward.

Some months since we published .
statement to the effect that Miss Gray
4 millincr of Fort Edward had become
the fortunate heir to Sl9,000,000,
which her, lover, young Englishman
had willed to her upon his dying bed.
Ths main fact in the case-the heirship
is true; but we now learn that it was
not to the lover but to his father that
Miss Gray is indebted for her extraor-
binary fortune 1t seems the lover on
his return to England, like too many
others proved inconstant, and married
another lady against his fathers will.
Whether it was remOrse at his faith
lessness or from some other cause, GER
tain it is the young man died in about
q year after his marriage, and left all
his property to his father. The old
gentleman was without heirs and not
having become reconciled to his daugh-
ter-in law, upon his death left one halt
of his property to the government OF
England, and the remaining half, S10.-
600, 900, to Miss Gray, the Fort Ed.
ward milliner. The sum was SO large
that many people were disposed to
doubt its truth when it first appeared
in pint; but Miss Gray has already
received the first instalmen. of her for.
tune, trihe, of s5,O00,000, from the
British Consul in New York. On Tues
day last she received dispatch from
the Consul announcing that the money
awaited her order, and on the folio wing
day she LEFT Fort Edward for New
York, where 1t was paid over to her.

THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
OH! SAY HAS THE PAST BEEN
FORGOTTEN :?
BY CARRIE BELL sINCLAIE.


On! say has the past been forgotten,
Dear friend of my happier years.
And must my sad Tyre awaken
Its music in sorrow and tears9
There's whisper that breathcs in the
South wind
That brings me vision of thee;
And pictured OH memory's mirror
Thy beautiful image Isec!
Each dcwdrop that kisses carth's bosom,
Every bird that its sweet notes doth
sing;
The flowers that blossom in beauty
TO brighten the beautiful spring;
And the song Of the murmuring river
Hath sound that is music to me;
For the flowers, the birds and the spring
time
AL. bring me sweet memories of thee.
Thou friend of my soul would have thee
TO come with thy sweet smile again,
And let thy fond faithful caresscs
Win my sad heart from sorrow and
pain;
For the sweet past has not been forgotten,
Dear friend ofmy happier years!
And my Tyre no more shall awaken
Its music in sorrow and tears.

SATURDAY NIGHT.
BY HENRY S. WASHBURNE.

Pause, my soul! week hath ended
One the less for thee below;
In this week there hath been blended
Hope and tear and joy and woe;
Weary heart, thou canst not mlrmur:
Der thy sky Il bow is cast;
One week to thy haven nearer,
Courage gather from the past.
Pause, my soul! week hath ended:
What it's record borne for thee!
Whom oppressed hast thou bcfricndcd
Who the happier been for thee?
Hast thou love for hate requited?
TO thy neighbor vert thou true?
What, my soul, hast thou neglected!
What performed thou shouldst not do
Pause, my soul! week hath ended;
Time is bearing thee away;
Only for while extended
Is the life we live to-day.
What may BE- upon the morrow,
God in mercy hides from thee;
But SO live, come joy OF sorrow,
As thy day thy strength shall be.

A Marriage Devoid of Poetry.

The Rev. Mr. d., Methodist minis
ter, q ioncd at Meadville, says th
Forrest (Pa. Republican, one cvcnin.
received note informing him that ,
couple living in the suburbs Of the city
desired to lie united in the bonds O
matrlmony at nine O'Clock in the morn
ing. AT the proper time he went tc
the house designated. He inquired Of
young lady who was busy washing
dishes if there was 4 couple there who
wished to be married.
II am the lady," said she, bushing
"John will be in. in moment
The minister was surprised to see no
preparations, and stepped to the door
to view the surroundings. Two men
were hard at work grinding scythes in
the yard, and another, who proved to
be "John," was tending a COW and
calf. The young lady came to the dool
pretty soon and shouted
"John, John, hurry up; the preach
cr's herer'
John leaped the fence and rushed in
to the house, the girl wiped her hands
on her apron, and after joi ming hands
said they were ready. The minister
proceeded, and had just got through
with questioning the young man when
the old lady rushed into the room,
shouting
"John, John, you didn't turn the
COW away from the calf"
John let go his swecthearts hand in
stantly, and rushed into the barnyard,
put the COW through the bars, and re-
turned to the house, again took his po
sition, when the remainder of the Ger,
emony was performed. The minister
went on his way, John went to the hay
field, and the lady resumed her dish
washing.

ElOpcmcnt OF u Shepherd with
d Fair Member of Ills Flock.


The clopement Of Rev. Horace Cook,
pastor. of the Seventh street Methodist
church, with Miss Martha Johnson,
creates intense excitementin the church
circles Of New York. Mr.. Cook was,
for about eight years, pastor ofa church
in Mamaronek, Westchester county,
and went to New York only eight.
months ago, when hc Immediately
gained numerous friends by his kind
manners, eloqucnce and learning He
has been married sixteen years to a
most devoted wife, and has son
named Baldwin fifteen years Of agc, a
most promising lad.
Mr. Johnson, the father of Martha,
is one Of the trustees Of the church,
wealthy and highly respected. Martha
was only a school girl, sixteen years of
age, and was about to graduate. She
was highly accomplished, and beloved
by her parents and brothers, and es-
teemcd by her teachers. A more than
ordinary sympathy has been noticed
between her and the pastor Of the
church, to which she had only been re-
Gently converted, but the girl was al
ways so innocent that no particular
suspicion was aroused.
The whole Of last week Rev. Horace
Cook teigncd sickness. On Thursday
he sent his family to church to attend
q lecture, and even sent the servants.
He excused himself from attending,
pleading sickness. 1t was found that
he sent his trunk out of the parsonage.
On Friday he left his house empty,
handed, and told his wife he would be
home at the evening service Since
that time, however, he has not been
seen.
On this same Friday morning, Miss
Johnson said to friend. on leaving
school, "Come home with me, | am
afraid" Said her friend, "Is not your
pastor standing thcref" "Oh, yes"
said Martha, and saying that she joined
Mr.. Cook. Since then nothing has
been seen of either party, but the pa
rents of the girl are convinced that she
did not go willingly with the clergy
man, for all her clothes were at home;
also her trinkets. She went of in her
school dress, and without a change Of
clothing.
The charge is now openly brought
against him that he has abducted the
girl against her own wish and desire.
On Saturday Miss Martha's father re-
ceivcd the following letter: II love
Matte. | will care for her tendcrly,
kindly, lovingly, inconsistent as it may
appear with my present conduct. l
ask for no mercy. but am ready to
part with life for the possession Of the
woman | adore. Cook
Mrs. Cook received, the same after
noon, letter from the miscrcant, in
which he says: 81 am on the last
plank. You will never see my face
again. hope Baldwin will be Il better
man than his father
The poor woman is 50 distressed

yer may set in. Miss Martha's broth
