Eugland's Rigid Marriage Laws.
Ftoaa tbs Toronto ,

1t is sometimes stated, particularly in
papers in the sta 'es, that the rigid mars
riage laws of England cause much un-
necessary sulfr ring. They may produce
individual cases Of unhappiness that are
more conducive of benefit in thes aggre-
cate than the loose code across the line.
There is a case in point. Mr.. Weldon
separated from his wife on the grounds
o incompatihility of temper. He al
lowed her $1,000 a year, a furnished
house, and servants for her separate
maintenance; but this did not satisfy
Mrs. Weldon. She wanted her husband,
and applied to the courts to have him
compelled to live with her. The courts 2
decided in her favor. and held that he
must maintain the marriage relation or
go 10 prison. Mr.. Weldon appears to be
II man Of peace. and 1t seems fiardg that
he should be compelled 10 live witha
turbulent woman. But this very hard
ship viii impress all England wita, the
s%oiprnEity and importnnee of the mar
riage contract. No one will be likely to
ME this relation lightly with this, case
OF poor Weldon before his eyes. Where
there is no outlet 10 a passage man

He had never seen his grandchildren.
Some friends had changed and grown
old in ten years, and but for their
familiar voices would scarcely have been
recognized. In the city the changes
have been as great. The Young Mems
Christian Association. of which Dr..
Backus had been an influential member

and he had passed 1t every day for
years, but never saw It until last week.
So throughout the city the doctor is
almost n stranger, and each day finds

In answer to the question as to how his
spirits were affected 1t the thought of
being blind, DR.. Backus said that when
in perfect health the appalling sense of
his loss rarely occurred to. him.
