OUR SATURDAY NIGHT.
Winter and Summer.

This Saturday night the wind
howls AMI whistles without. The
gas lamps outside on the streets
burn dimly. Men and women has
ten by, anxious to reach a resting
place where the is escape from
tie storm. Horses and carriages
60 rapidly by, bearing people home
or to other places. The mud is
thick and deep in the streets,
while the rain comes with the
blast to drench, cndangcr and de-
stroy PERSONS health and fabrics
Looking out from our window
we see lights all about. More
than ten thousand windows can
we see from our sanctum-then
close the blinds and return TO our
quiet writing.
Within all is cheerful Within
these four walls we work, and the
words written here are read by
millions. SO we will be careful
what we write, for to night our
good angel is so close to us We
can feel the press of pure lips on
our forehead as comes a heart wish
and blessing. We are very hap
py to night. All the week have
we tried earnestly to do our duty.
Few, indeed, are the hasty, cutting
words we have spoken, and in all
the seven days since last we sat
to this writing not a living per-
son have We wronged intentional-
ly.
Here is our home. The articles
all about give pleasure and com
fort. Not thing in the room but
is beautiful. The carpet on the
floor is of beautiful pattern. The
paintings on the wall are beautiful
and suggestive. The quaint little
ornaments all about are Of happy
device, thought giving, and beau
tiful for the eye to rest upon. W.

DIVORCE LAWS.

Gov, iiAKER, in his message,
makes the following excellent
suggestions 10 ,he Legislature.
relative 10 The anne nd u ent of our
divorce laws:
The laws of this State regulating
the granting OF divorces, and es--
pecialiy tho lax manner in which
they have been administered in
some OF eur courts, has given In
diana a notorie.y that is by no
means enviable. Some OF the re-
pre- ach that has been cas- upon the
State in this connection is doubt
les undeserved but a candid re-
view Of our laws and their practic
aloperation on this important sub
ject will, it is believed, satisfy any
impartial mind that q reformation
is imperatively demanded.
The causes for which divorces
may be granted under the existing
statutes are as follows, viz:
First, Adultery.
Second, Impotency.
Third, Abandonment for one
year.
Fourth, Cruel treatment Of one
party by tie other.
Fifth, Habitual drunkenness of
either party.
Sixth, The conviction, subse.
quent to the marriage, in any
country. Of either party of an infa-
nous crime.

which the Court shall deem It prop.

readers of the Sunday CONNER
cial with several suggestive arti-
cles on the above subject. Re
Gently the City Fathers have been
exercised on this subject. and have
embodied some of the suggestions
of your correspondent in an ordi-
nance now before the Council. No
doubt this ordinance will accom-
plish something. 1t is = step in
the right direction, because al
most anything is better than mac
ton. This registry will, it is to
be hoped, deter many from con-
tinuing their present evil course,
while others will change their To-
cality, rather than publicly &C
knowledge their Gin by register

radical defects IN the bill to which
l wish to call attention. 1t WAS, !
am sure, only an oversight. They
did not really so mean it. They
require all female boarders and
visitors at these bad places tohreg
lister tn, ir names and aliases. Why
not require the male visitors also
to come forward and put in an ap-
pearance with their names and
aliases. Has man any more
right to be bad on the sly than q
woman? If the law or popular
odium is to be turned against vice
in the weaker sex, why should it
not also be against the stronger?
Have male visitors at houses of
prostitution any special claim Of
exemption from social or legal re-
straint?
When this proposed ordinance
shall take effect, the Register,
with its long list Of unfortunates
with their names and aliases, will
be looked over not only with Gu
riosity, but with anxious and sad
thoug ht uiness. But why make

THE PRAYER SEEKER.
BY JOHN g. wHIrGIRR.

Along the isle there prayer was made
woman all in black arrayed,
Close-veiled, between the kneeling host,
With gliding motion of . ghost,
Passed to the desk and laid thereon
A scroll which bore these words alone
"Pray for me!''
Back from the place of worshiping
She giided ike guilty thing,
The rustic of her draperies, stirred
By hurrying feet, alone wss heard;
While, lull of awe, the preacher read,
AS out into the dark she sped;
"P ray for me.'
Back to the night from whence she came,
To unimagined grief or shame!
Across the threshold of the door
None knew the burden that she bore;
Alone she left the written scroll
The legend Of a troubled soul
Glide on poor soul OF woe or sin!
Thou leav'st a common need within;
Each bears, like these some nameless weight
Some misery inarticulate;
Some ecIet sin +, so nIe shrouded dread,
Some household sorrow all unsaid,
''PrAy for mer'
Pray on! The type of all thou art
Sad witness to the common heart!
With face in veil and seal on lip,
In strange and mute cOmpanionship,
Like thee we wander to and for,
Dumbly nploriug as We 60:
Pray for usl
All, who shall pray, since He who pleads
Our want, perchance had greater needs?
Yet they who make their loss the gain
Of Others shall not ash in vain.
And heaven bends low to hear the prayer
OF love firm lips of self despair:
Pray for us!
In vain remorse and fear and hate
Beat with bruised hands against fate
Whose walls Of iron only move,
And open to the touch of love,
He only feels his burdens fall,
Who, taught BY suffering. pities all.
Pray for US!
lie praysth best who leaves unguessed
The mystel les OF another's breast;
Why cheeks grow pale, why eyes o'erfow.
Or heads are white thou need'st not know
Enough to note by many . sign.
That every heart hath needs like thine.
Pray for US!

Beset with temptation, surrounded by sin,
Don't spnrn her. Just give her chance.

she,
You might be as bad-eyen worse;
Then give her your hand, and blessing be-

Instead Of kick or a curse.
So hunted, so branded ~ merciless man,
No wonder she eyes you askance;
No wonder she thinks you are like all the

certainly authorize the same law

strongly encourage = reformation

with these amendments. For
twenty-five years previous to the

hear of a peculiar institution that
required peculiar legislation This,
