DIVoRCE.-A Portland exchange
notes the fact that there are twenty
nine divorce cases on the docket in
that city for the present term OF
court. Fifty eight persons on whom
the conjugal yoke rests harshly!
What a comment on the civilization
of the Pacific coast! There is no
material here for a sermon on the
folly and wickedness of the times.
Such record bespeaks aching hearts,
ruined hopes, and that most sad OF
earthly spectacles, a divided family
circle. In the giddy society of the
present day marriages are contracted
for any and every object except the
right one; vows are lightly spoken
weddings are consummated on short
acquaintance; and then when the
unfortunate victims awake to con-
sciousness Of their mistakes, they
seek relief in the divorce courts.
The solemn words, "what God hath
joined together" &C., are forgotten
in domestic wrangles, and finally in
the public airing of private wrongs
in court of justice. The God>given
rule established by Moses, the great
law giver, providing for divorces for
cause, is just as applicable in its
equities to day to the wants OF sim
full man as it ever was; and yet it
was intended merely provision for
the choosing Of the least Of two evils.
OF course there are many cases where
it is best for people to separate;
though if proper care we're taken TO
''look before you leap," there would
be hundred TO one fewer divorces
in the land than there are. Divorce,
at best, is an evil far.reaching and
blightning in its influence. 1t un.
settles society by bringing the fami-
ly tie down from the sacred position
it ought to occupy and making it a
thing to be lightly considered and
changed at the behest of whim or
fancy, 1t panders to vice and social
evil, by bunting the moral suscepta-
bilities and preparing one fer life
OF shifting adventure.

In the course OIL HlSlL lew DAYS
ago to the iron works at the head OF
the bay, we found the furnace in
operation again after its rest, and
gradually getting down to solid bu-
siness. A number of improvements
were noted since our last visit,
among which may be mentioned a
fiue looking two story residence in
process Of erection, to be occupied
by Messrs. Moore and Blanchard,
also a building in which Mr.. G. P.
Dyer intends opening business. The
ore crushing machine and the roast
ing furnace both give evidence OF
ravenous appetites, and will doubt
less be fed many ton of material
ere they are appeased. Gradually
the town site is being cleared away,
and the prir eval forest is yielding
its long lease of the land TO the
Transforming influences of art. New
cabins and new improvements are
rapidly dotting the slope, and the
town may be said to be emerging
from its swaddling clothes. Not
long since the enormous coal shed
was found insufficient in capacity,
and in its size was doubled. We
found it ''chock full" and a whole
mountain of charcoal stacked out
side. Mr.. B. S. Miller has been
piling in that article at the rate of
over a thousand dollars worth per
week.
The iron company now have q

son of Mr.. A. Serfass, a gentleman
from the Lehigh district in Pennsyl-
vsnia, a man who evidently under,
stands his business thoroughly, hav-
ing had about thirteen years expert
ence in the employ of one firm alone.
He has relieved Supt. Moore of part
of the cares formerly devolving ON
that gentleman.
Mr.. Serfass, it seems, has confirm
ed Mr.. Newsome's estimate of the
quality of the potter's clay found in
the vicinity of the furnace, and it is
probable that the company will here
after manufacture its own fire brick,
instead of sending away to Scotland
and to New Jersey for that article
as heretofore. We are glad to learn
of this, as it furnishes another open.

MISCELLANY.
THE TRUTHFUL GAS METER.

Some time since this paper contained hu-
morohs poem written by the poetical machine
that grinds out poetry for the New York Sun
dan World. 1t depicted mans struggle
with gas meter. First he used an ordinary
amount of gas and at the end of the month
the bill came in for $3.50. The poem has
passed into oblivion, but it is quite easy to
make another just like it. For instance:
He closed his mansion tightly up
And hied him off from henee
But ut the months end the bill came In
For IS So
The gas company seemed to be going on
the principle that the amount of gas consumed
had no relation to the bill so the consumer
acted accordingly, because next month:
Day and night the burners blazed,
And he did loudly laugh
When the gas-man's bill came in the same,
$780,
This case, or rather one very similar to it,
occurred in New York recently. The resi-
dents of the aristocratic region of Murray
Hin found that the amount of gas used bore
no relation to the bills. They reduced the
consumption of the gas twenty-five per cent.
But the more they reduced, the bigger be-
came the bills, and there seems little reason
to doubt that If they had stopped the use OF
the gas altogether the bills would have ruined
even people of such wealth. Investigation
showed that the gas meter differs from man
kind-the more water it absorbed the more
unreliable it became. There was water in
the meters, to the amazement of the gas COM
pany. It was found that the meter had falsl-
fed the returns, and new count was order
ed. New meters were put in, and as they
are not yet accustomed to their work, they
are reasonably truthful SO far.-DetroH Free

Home.

DIR. Holmes says: never saw gar
ment too fine for a man or maid there
never was n chair too good for q cobbler
or q cooper or king to sit in never
house too fine to shelter the human head.
These elements about us, the glorious
sun, the imperial sun, are not too good
for the human race. Elegance fits man.
But do we not value these tools little
more than they are worth and sometimes
mortgage a house for the mahogany we
bring into it? L had rather eat my din
ner off the head of n barrel, or dress
after the fashion of John the Baptist in
the wilderness, or sit on block all nv
life, than consume all myself before I
got to home, and take SO much
more pains with the outside than the in
side which was hollow as IN empty nut.
Beauty is a great thing, but beauty of
garment, house, and furniture are
tawdry ornaments compared with do
mestic love. All the elegance in the
world will not make a home, and I would
give more for spoonful of real hearty
love than for whole ship-loads of furni-
ture and all the gorgeousness all the
upholsterers in the world can gather.

A Rule That Works Both Ways.

ssThat must be false rule" says the
Interior, requiring virtue, cleanliness
and good temper and conduct in women,
while many men may go on to any
length almost, and society one and all
wink, if not blink, at our faults. What
ever degrades 70 woman also degrades q
man. Take some of the vices and hab-
its of the day. A man smokes filthy
cigar, or carries about half an ounce Of
tobacco in his cheek, and yet expects
his wife to preserve clean mouth and a
sweet breath. Again, a young man
starts out to spend the evening with his
adored Evelina. Should he find her not
at home, but in the neighboring saloon,
however genteel it might be, that would
be his last visit. In his estimation she
would have sunk below his level, and
yet that young man himself is daily
visitor to that same saloon, and engages
in all its exercises"
