True Marriage.

-
Our advanced theories of divorce
and free love making the matrimoni-
al relation merely a partnership to be
dissolved at pleasure, whatever else
may be said in their favor, strikes a
deadly blow at an element in it which
was meant perhaps T. he supreme
above all others. Wat tle sweet
est charm Of all true marriage, what
is the greatest advantage, what's the
most priceless happiness to take life
through which it brings to the hu-
man heart? Not the flush and splen-
dor of its early love; not the richer
developments which it brings to the
character net even the children who
are gathered around its shrine. No,
but the intimacy and reliability of its
companionship; the fact that it gives
those who enter into it, each in the
other aud through all scenes aud
changes, a near and blessed standby.
Marriage in some of its aspects is
doubtless the source of an immense
amount of happiness, crime, ipjus-
tice, blight and down-dragging, n
of the most %perplexing institutions So
ciety has TO deal with-only the
blindest sentimentalists will deny
that.
On the other hand, however, and
this is not mere sentiment but sober
fact, of all the evidences of Gods
goodness to be found in this lower
world, all the proofs that be cares for
US not only with the wisdom of a
Creator, bat with the interest and
love of a father, there is none quite
equal to his sending human beings
into the arena Of life, not to fight its
battles, win its victories and endure
its sorrows alone, but giving them,
as they go forth out of their child
hoods home, O relation in which each
two of them are bound together with
the closest of all ties, live together
under the same root, have their la
bors, their property, their interests,
their parental affections all in COM
mon, and are moved to stand bv each
other, hand to hand, heart to heart,
in every sorrow, misfortune, trial and
stormy day that earth can bring. 1t
is an ideal, if not always realized in
full, which is tasted even now, amid
all that is said about marriage miser-
les, more widely perhaps than any
other happiness.

..M0RLEY's- LETTER FROM NEW
YORK.


SUMNER AT LAST.
| would like to quote the oldest
inhabitant," hut it would be useless:
nobody would believe him, and Iven-
ture to say, on my personal RESPONSE
bility, that | DO not remember SO re-
markable a season. We have worn
overcoats during the past week, and
three days before had perspired IN

pie get ready for the sesshore one
day, and the next put on their winter

WATER FARMING.
If tie title sounds funny the sub
ject is so interesting that | profound
ly regret my inability to do itjustice.
1t is a coming issue"-this matter
of water Farming"-and your far
mer readers and city subscribers are
alike interested in it. A person not
acquainted with this subject would
laugh in your face if you should tell
him that a three acre frog pond could
be made to yield more profit to q far
mer than a three acre potato patch :
and that q stream of water could be
cultivated to bis great ~pecuniary adj
vantage. Yet this is all as r u as
any fact in life. Fish are the most
prolific of living creatures. A single
sturgeon contains nearly ten million
eggs, cod and herring millions, shad
hundreds of thousands, and even
trout and bass several thousands. a
pond or stream can be stocked with
trout, bass, salmon and other fresh
water fish, Or eggs of the same at
practically nc cost to the owner.
With good management these q all
be Matched. and in some cases in a
very few days Once Matched the
fish provide tor themselves they need
neither food nor care, and they con-
vert worthless insects and waste wa
ter grasses into the healthiest of hui
man food. The trout or bass in a
farmers pond costs him nothing but
the trouble of catching, and compare
favorably on his table with the choic-
est poultry or pork that has cost him
constant care and expense. Trout
sell at their season here at 10 cents a
pound. and often higher, and all fresh
water fish finds a good market at fair
prices. The only loss of time or la
Dor is in the catching, and to reduce
this it is only necessary 10 make the
fish abundant.
For the encouragement OF fish cult
ure, the Government and many OF the
States have provided Matching hous-
es. from which young trout, bass and
other fish are furnished in any desir-
ed quantity at only the cost of pack,
ing and freight. A dozen farmers or
gentlemen owning country seats
might, by the most trifing expense,
combine and ill their ponds and
streams with young fish that would
multiply faster than they could catch
them, and thus furnish luscious food
for their own tables while affording
profitable occupation for the "small
boys" of the house, who could often
earn as much with their hook and
line as q full grown man would in the
eornfield.
We have q fine Matching establish
ment and a Board of State Fish Com
m~issioners, who are only too anxious
that people should avail themselves
of this important addition to the al
ready long list of profitable farm pro-
duets.

ROBBERY AS a FINE ART.

New York does nothing by halves
except mind her own business. She
sits on two of the most magnificent
water fronts in the world and sings
"Pinafore," while ten miles of wretch.
ed, rotten, ~rat-eaten wbarves drive
awey her commerce. That's her bus
inessl Thousands of her little chill
dren are murdered by o~vercrowded
and lily ventilated school-rooms, and
she seems satisfied. That is cher
business" TOO! Sbe-well, both sides
of your paper would not begin to tell
how gloriously she leaves undone
whatever in her corporate capacity
she ought to do and if must draw
the line somewhere, it might as well
be over her poor children's graves as
anywhere.
But when you come to private en-.
terprise the scene changes. Fabulous
sums and boundless energies are pour
ed like water upon the laundering,
dripping wheel that drives the furi-
Gus, overstimulated civilization of the
hour. 1t matters little whether the
enterprise be good or evil, it is eleva.
ted by sharp competition and the at
triton Of acute minds to o fine art Of
science. Robbery is one of these fine
arts now being rescued from low me-
diocrity. 1t is indeed entitled to be
classed among the exact sciences.
Our thieves are skillful, trained, am
bilious; and are the one body of men
not to be disparaged. They know
when every banker puts up his ex-
changes when every merchant
sends his cash to bank; when every
manufactures draws out his wages
money, and the habit of nearly every
man worth robbing. They are con-
tent to wait weeks or months for the
safest and latest time for pluDdering
their victims. Court records have
proved all these a Thousand times.
In sober earnest l aver that whom
soever they deem it profitable and
safe to rob uW be robbed and be
who boasts he cannot be robbed sim
ply shows how little he knows of life
in great cities.
An acquaintance of mine who had
frequently made that boast was rob-
bed twice in one day last month.
Men who are lawfully smart" may
battle the thieves. provided they wear
valuables only in the w~aist-coat, but
ton up tight, resolutely refuse to
think of anything else, and are inca
pable of being thrown off their guard.
But q man cannot go through life
with no thought but of "pickpockets"
in his mind. If these gentry think it
worth while to have your watch or
pocketbook, they are going to have it
that's all.
All these thieves are well known to
the police, but the blue coats are be.
to be often in alliance with
them, and several recent ~investiga.
tons develop the fact that there are
professional burglars on the police
force, known to have piled their nefa-
arts on their own beats, and vet
neither imprisoned nor even removed
the force! There are many ex-
cellent and noble men on the force,
but as a body they have sadly de-
generated in the past few years aud
when Gotham, sometime in the dim
makes up its mind to attend
to its own business, it will have o
time looking after the accom-
criminals who have graduated
the present reign of police in
efficiency.

that of Kelly's in this city?"
"Unquestionably. The people outside of New

votes that don't want to go with the machine

from him sufficient number of votes to defeat his
