In the examination which becomes necessary
to satisfy the demands of Justice and COM
promise with the requirements Of good
morals, the usual exhibition was made of
tangled domestic machinery which refused

story of desertiOn, infdelity and intolerable
severity, Is as stereotyped as that other tale
whispered " under the linden tree, - amidst

T these " incompatibilities " exist, but that
so many Of the incompatibles should have

g. notice to other appropriations Of - stolen
fruit - 10 " beware OF the dog" Whether
. divorce made easy, as it now is under our
State law, viii work more good than mischief
to society is beyond the depth of our philoso-
ply Unless we adopt the Catholic ground
whIchlwe believe to be right, if not always
practicable, Of " no divorces, the Judge
must decide who to unbind and who to hold
/ fast, for we cannot. And it looks as though
it might trouble him to tell sometimes, Just
/ what to do.
We would call attention to a sale Of Su-
perphosate of Lime advertised in another
