juno Frosts in England.

The sharp and sudden frosts of the
middle Of June in England made a dis
tinct impression upon the midsummer
landscapes. Bright October colors are
introduced among the early summer
foliage. Acres of bracken look as if
scorched by fire. On Leith hill, Ran
more, the HOLLYWOOD and most of the
Surrey and Kentish commons the effect
is the same, while good deal of the
young fern has assumed rich autumn
tint. Many of the beeches bear one
bough or more of golden leaf, an occa-
sional sunset glow has been added to
the branches of the oaks and the con-
trast to the cool midsummer green is by
no means unpleasing. 1t is touch of
autumn's beauty, with no hint of coming
winter

more than 150.O0O,O00 persons must have

value of these pills better than any statement of
the proprietors. It will be observed that the
dose required to cure is small. One or two pills
taken every night for ten or twenty days will
cure dyspepsia, costiyeness, rheumatism, liver

The wisdom of allowing each state to
fix the causes upon which q divorce
may be obtained, though often severe
ly criticised by those favoring one uni
form for eli the states, has to recon-
mend II the sanction OF our constitu-
ton and customs. Marriage, the most
holy obligation which man enters into,
should be sacredly guarded against any
measures which tend toprofane its SOL
emnity or relax any of its gravity. Its
obligations and import should be deep
ly impressed upon the high contracting
parties. Guard the first important
step 30 well that divorce may be tn
ultimatum. but not the excuse for an
unholy amour. Divorce cases should
be docketed with criminal cases, and
should be surrounded with all the pub
Lefty and gravity attending criminal
proceedings. The applicant should be
placed in the position of . prosecuting
witness. and the costs taxed to the
state, when the applicant is poor. With
this method Of procedure and the pri-
mary causes of divorce-youth, undue
haste and insufficient incomes upon
which to MAINTAIN = family, guarded
against. the divorce court would speedily
rise to itslegItmato and proper function.
Causes for divorce should be broad
enough and humane enough to protect
the innocent, the helpless and the
wrouged. The laxity now complained
of could be overcome, and the uni
formity so much desired, realized by
agreement among the different state
legislative bodies. This course would
render justice more speedy and uphold
morality quite IS effectively ~ If the
