The proposition to fuse and unite the
two branches Of the NJ. f. Church, viz
The Northern and Southern, does not
seem at all practicable, or, at present,
desirable. The late Conference at Louis
VILE developed fine christian feeling,
and good business understanding, but
stopped there. Looked at from many
standpoints secular observation, it is
very well that they failed to coalece
United they would be, and constitute an
ecclesiastical power formidable in many
ways, and, in all human probability, a
separation would soon have become an
other necessity. We rejoice that in the
future the great bodies wall act in con,
cert in many ways, but, as body, sep,
arate, and under their own sectional
influences

woman's Power for Good or Evil.

One beautiful and gifted woman, if wrongly
disposed, can work more evil in society, and
can scatter more seeds Of corruption and death
than, with the uttermost efforts, a score Of
men. Her capabilities Cor good in The differ
ent departments Of morality arc equally great
and in such proportion TO her powers, both for
coed and evil, must be her condemnation, il
she is false to her holy stewardship. Society
can not be destroyed il woman is true, nor safe
il woman is false Besides. society shows no
unequal discrimination in regard 20 this par
,icular class Of offences. The rule applies 10
all 4 profane woman, a drunken woman,
female uief or murderer, always
excitcs greater horror aul dis
gust than If the crime had been committed by
A man. Aud this IS right, and it will be an
evil day for this world when woman in her sin
excitcsu no more adherence than a man.

Mary CIemmer Ames.

A.Washington letter to the Courier
Journal says: The divorce Of Mr.. Alnes
from his wife, Mary Clcmmer, was a
shock and a surprise to her friends. It
is true that they were not often together,
for his business kept Linn at Harper's
Ferry, while hers brought her to Wash

summer. I have known Mrs Ames
eight years and seen her husban d fire.
qnently during that time. believe they
are now, rs they always have been, the.
best of.friends. Ae seemed proud of her
talents, and understood that she could
not immune herself at so uncongenial a
place as Harper's Ferry: Mrs A,ncs is
a hard worker. Without any help from
her husband she for years has supported
herself, both OF her parents, and edncat
ed a younger sister. Dir. Amcs: was "a
Clergyman when she, at an early age,
married him. Since the war, Mr.. Alnes
has had a perfect infatuation fer invest
ing money at Harper's Ferry. He even
sold fine residence in a fashionable quar-:
ter Of New York city and put the pro-
ceeds in warehouses at the Ferry. Be.
fore the houses were rented the great
freshet floated them down the, Sbenando.
all river. Still he goes on buying. and
uilding. Mrs. Amcs tried for two years
to live there. but her life was intolereble.
Report says that MI. Ames has found a
lady at the Ferry who likes the place,
and that he obtained the divorce SO that
he could marry again. 1t is more unfor.
'unate for the lady than for him, as di-
vorce always leaves something Of . blight
