.BR0ADBRIM'S N. Y. LETTER

September wanes and brown October
comes on apace, and for the first time since
the summer recess, thank God, the churches
are all open. l don't say this because
am soreligious myself but am satisfied
by passed experience that no community
is better for having lis churches closed and
right here there is one thing that | could
not help noting, and that is, that every
year the churches open later and later
Not long ago the pastor was satisfied with
his six or eight weeks vacation, but now
some of them conIrive to be two OF three
weeks behind on one excuse and another;
and thus it is that October is almost here
before the churches are all open. 1t is
only four weeks since the husband of a
very dear friend of mine died in the City
of Brooklyn, and she was desirous of hay
ing some religious service as is usual on all
such occasiors. The lady and her hus-
band were UnitaIians, but she was not
bound at such time by any particular
religious service recognized by the Protes-
tant Christian church. Strange as it may
oocn, Iuel cOulu not unu minister In
this great city of churches to perform the
last rites over her dead husband First
she went to the Unitarian ministers, they
were all gone; then she tried the Uniyer-
salist churches, but there was not a single
minister LETT. She then sought in success
sion Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians
and regationalists-there was not one
to be found. If she could have accepted a
Catholic priest she could have found one
in any church in New York or Brooklyn,
for not one of them was closed. Every
priest was at bis post, and ready for in
slant service night or day; but, alas he
would not read the service of the dead over
a Protestant whatever his state or charac-
ter, though he would administer the last
offices of the church to a dying murderer
or gambler in the street. 1t was pitiful
strait TO be reduced to, but at that time
all the pulpits were filed by supply preach
erh, and they only get here on Sunday.
The funeral was to have taken place on
Friday, but it had to be postponed until
Sunday when the supply preachers came

UNLESS We lose our guess Lansford peo-
pie will have three wards at the local elec.
tions next spring. The matter will be
brought before the grand jury at the next
term of court, and considering that every
argument is in favor of the scheme no in
telligent body of men will halt them in
their push and enterprise. Lansford shonld
haye three wards-the voting population
of this town calls for it, Lansford's move
should be pointer to our citizens. Come,
gentlemen, shake yourself and do some
thing, the time is ripe and the cause a
commendable one.
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1889-10-05

LEHrGHToN should be divided into
three wards for many reasons. Firstly, it
would give us that prominence due an en-
terprising town; secondly, the number of
votes polled-almost seven hundred-de-
mands it. There areNether reasons why
this should be done and none against it.
Heretofore we have spoken of this matter,
now let our progressive citizens wake up
and do something.

THE ADVOCATE had half dozen copies
of its journal returned the other day from
man who has been taking the paper for
several years and now refuses to take it
out of the office or even to pay for it, This
is adding insult to in jury, but it is only in
accord with the low, degraded calibre of
the man who is mean enough to talk
through his nose to save his teeth or steal
oats from bis horse's feed box so that the
animal won't get tired feeding.

Marriage a Grand success.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
is marriage a failure? Poor, stale, defunct
question! Bury it out of sight. None but an
imbecile would ask such question. 1t would
be equally wise to ask: Are pen and ink fall
ure, because some reckless spendthrift commits
forgery to replenish his psodigal purse? Is
steel failure. because some sneaking assassin
sheathes his dagger in the bosom of his sleep
ing victim? Is the atmosphere a failure, be-
cause of polluted slums of drunkenness and
poverty2 Ten us, We grumbling, groveling,
discontented misanthropists of human nature,
is the ocean a failure, because merchants are
more sordid and greedy, than wise and humane,
and send ships unworthy and overloaded TO
sea. and they go down in a storm?
Marriage failure, indeed! 1t is rather the
grandest and most glorious achievement of
success that ever wreathed humanity's crown
with victorious laurels, and the most priceless
gem rescued from the wreck of Paradise. 1t
may be a failure to the cowardly selfish clown,
whose ambition il is to enslave a woman who
has more brains and courage than to submit to
his tyranny. 1t may be a failure to the cold,
frozen heart that has not sense enough to ap-
preciate the warmth of wife's devotion and
love, and knows nothing of the Intoxicating
sweetness of a child's kiss or the music of its
pratding tongue.
Marriage failure,I ,Iw1th wife to greet your
coming with affection. children to welcome
you with ringing hughter, beside the thou
sands of endearments that cluster round the
fresde of home? Thrice have / solved the
mystic problem and bathed in the limpid
sweetness of its ecstacy, hence know whereof
speak To you who declare marriage fail
ure, 1 suggest: Keep mute and for the sake of
your own credit don't tell the world what poor
judgment you had. when, with the universe to
choose from, and all shades of color from the
ace of spades to Circassian loveliness you were
simple enough to make choice of a poor wife.
