THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER ON DIPRUDENT MARRIAGES.  - On Sunday evening the Bishop of Manchester preached at the opening of St. Thomas's Church, Preston. Ills Lordship, after speaking of the indifference that was manifested nowadays in the selection of sp. Bora said that many young people got married before they could be quite certain whether they could pay for their next Sunday's dinner. He did not know that the evil was much worse to-day than it was some years ago. No doubt these were foolish marriages in a money point of view. But that was not the main point, if the young people had got health and industry. There was another point more important. Two young people were married. They had a family, and he would ask to what extent had those young persons, before or since marriage, realised their responsibility. Did the young man when he fell in love with the young woman do so because he thought she would make him a faithful and loving wife, and be a careful and diligent mistress of his ' household and a wise and firm mother of his children; or was he caught by a pretty face or a fashionable style of dress, or some of those utterly worthless attractions which did not last sometimes through the honeymoon, and which then made him find out, when too late to rectify the mischief, that he had married some worthless, heartless, silly thing, who had got no idea of the duties of life, and had never been instructed how to discharge them? And he would ask a young woman, when she said "Yes" to a young man who courted her, what did she look at? Did sne consider whether that young man would make her a happy home for the rest of her life ; whether he would be staid, sober, industrious, and loving? Did she consider whether he was an exemplary fellow, or one with a tendency to intemperance, known to be a jovial companion, a frequenter of free-and-easies ? He thought that the young woman who married a sot, a drunkard, or spendthrift must, if she has wisdom at all, see the consequences; must see the misery she was laying up for herself, a future full of sadness and sorrow. The sanctities of domestic life were serious and important, not to be lightly looked at. To parents he would urge that they did their duty fully and completely to their children. Certainly children were at limes unmanageable; but that often arose from the foolish principle in many families of scolding to-day and petting to-morrow. Children wanted to be treated firmly, kindly, lovingly ; and above all it was pre-eminently important they should have put before them a good example. Parents must teach their children to love and respect them. If is little child saw father and mother quarrelling, ass tutting each other, or neglecting to attend a place of worship, the child could not fail to grow up indifferent. To all parents he would solemnly hold up the divine injunction that they were to train up a child in the way which should make it a good and useful citizen, and which should lead to the kingdom  The execution of Mouser, a German, canyieted ol murder on the high seas, and Murphy, who brittall murdered a boy at Stratford, is fixed for Monday.
