Divorce Business,

According to the new law, signed re-
Gently by the Governor. divorce lazy special

he thought of its constitutiouality, yester-
day said:
"Those LAWYERS who make a specially OF
divorce business, and advertise to that
effect, only catch the unsophisticated and
keep constantly before the public mind the
fact that the obligations of the marriage
vows are easily broken.
"Such attorneys have long since lost caste
with the profession in general, aud accord
ing to professional courtesy are ostracizing
themselves by their methods of obtaining
practice.
II scarcely see. though. how a law could
be sound which prohibits lawyer from eX-
ereisng the same privileges as those ac-
corded 10 other professions.

How Is 1t Used.

A country town in one of our Mid.
die States, in which is a sectarian
college, was startled by the suicide OF
one OF the college students He had
become a confirmed drunkard; and
enfeebled in mind and body; conscious
that his career in college was over,
afraid to 20 home, in despair he
sought death.
His brother was sent for to take
the dead boy home. He found the
President or the college, and said to
him:
my mother three years or more
ago sent you her youngest son, her
BENJAMIN. He was a healthy, honor
able boy, who, when he left home,
had never touched drop Of liquor.
There is nothing to carry back to her
but this poor diseased body. Who
has done this? Who is gui,ty?"
The venerable president was deeply
moved. mot l." he said. THE
faculty were interested in him. When
he began to 60 astray they remon-
strated with him. lpleaded with him.
Every influence that we could exert
was brought to bear. But he went
down as If drawn by some invisible
hand"
Whose was this hand?
AS the dead boy was carried down
the street. q pretty young girl looked
out OF a window of her home, and saw
the hearse. She remembered how,
nearly three years ago. vexed at his
blindness to her charms and his eager
ness for study, she had used all her
little wiles to attract him; how she
had succeeded; how mad he was in
his admiration of her.
There was a club in the college
composed Of students of free social
habits At their late suppers wines
were used, and stakes were played for
at their card tables She had urged
him to join the club. and had praised
their ''manly" ways; their freedom
from bOyish restraints 'sThey were
men Of the world; she never could
care for any man who had not seen
life"
He had joined the club, and this
was the result.
The silly, frivolous girl gave a sigh.
and then laughed nervously 1t was
