is no ambiguity about that

declaration. It is a very clear state inent of what is ordinarily regarded as a most repulsive and harmful doctrine —that is, it would be harmful if any considerable number of people could be induced to accept it. In the long ar tide in favor of free divorce from which the above is taken, the Express admits that a writer, whose article against "Easy Divorces" it reviews, means well," and we accord to the Express the same credit. That the Ex press thinks its theory right, and best for the public, we do not for a moment question. We are just as confident, however, that, at this time when strenuous effort is making to redeem our State from its odious and disgraceful divorce laws—some progress having been already made—it is most unfortunate that a paper of its standing and influence should wheel into line with those opposing marriage laws, and advocate free divorce, which is nothing more nor less than free lust, miscalled "free love."

One false assumption lies at the foundation of all these theories of free love and free divorce, and it is an assumption which has received the countenance of, and been made strong by, the thoughtless assent and assertion of those who would not accept its necessary logical results. We refer to the assumption that love is a necessary element of valid marriage. It is often said that marriage without love is nothing more nor less than prostitution. This being the case, of course when love ceases marriage should come to an end, true marriage does come to an end, and the parties should be at liberty to marry others whom they do love. In the article referred to the changes are rung on this assumption. It is said in it, that "it will not tie denied that love is the one solo tie that binds the family together by its own inherent power, &c." Again it is said,

Love, mutual consent, no force and no restraint, are the elements which must enter into every true marriage, and make the tie binding In the sight of God and man. And if these elements are wanting, then the -peed ier the divorce, the better. Hence the desirableness of free divorce."

We readily admit that the highest ype of marriage is that in which love is tho tie that binds. Wo deny however, that, in reason or religion, there is ny sanction of the idea that love i3 a necessity to true marriage, or that abnee of love destroys marriage. The great desirableness of love in the marriage relation, that it is a necessity to he most happy and useful maintenance of this relation, is a very different thing from its absolute necessity, making it 6tic qiLCL non.

One-half the people who are aappiiy married will admit that the love which makes their relation so sweet, has bad its birth and growth since they were married. They thought they loved in the "spoony days" of courtship, but they did not. Therefore their marriage life before love was born, according to tiiis theory, was simply one of legalized prostitution. They were not really rie l. Again, take the case of a matt who feels the need of a wife, perhaps be has children whose mother death has divorced from him, and his heart has followed her to the grave. He says to a woman, "I need a wife. I cannot bring you love. Bat I have confidence in you that I can be to you true and faithful companion and protector." Tbe woman is willing, perhaps out of regard for the children, or possibly because she needs a home, to accept the offer, and they enter upon the relation In good faith. Is their no valid marriage there Are these parties leading a Hie no higher than that of the libertine and prostitute Again a woman has married a man who by bis vioes has destroyed the love she once bore him. But for the sake of her children she will oontinue to be the wife of this man. Is she living outside of marriage and no better than she would be if she went upon tbe street and bartend her virtun to support and Mueate her chiMr n? Tbe marriage •elation borrows its »oit» from the neoMftittos of the family. Children nted long years of care, training, and support, and to saeet this necessity murrUge most be permanent. Thoew who enter into it in good faith are truly uiitriiwL Love is desirable, its desirableness oan hardly be overrated, bat it is not essential to marriage. And the sooner this false assumption is destroyed the sooner will Woodhull and all her tribe of free ion,

l«jUo*»ra be shorn of the uu«y plausible argument on thsir side of this question.

is not satisfactory because it leads to tbe harboring of petty differences between tbeiparties till that which would otherwise have been easily harmonized becomes a permanent feud because it will multiply the very evil for which it is sought because it will fall with peculiar hardship upon women and because, carried to its legitimate conclusions, wkither some of its strongest advocates .have followed itt it is nothing more nor less than free lust. We do not believe that tbe discussion and advocacy of it, whether by Woodhull, the spiritualist conventions, or even the Express, will do any special harm, because it is a doctrine which so outrages all instincts of decency that it cannot gain any great strength in a civilized community.

THE ENGINEERS STRIKE. We are sorry to see the good name of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers tarnished by tbe strike now existing upon the Panhandle road and its leased lines. The cause of the grievance was a reduction of ten per cent, on the wages of all employes of the roads, and a refusal to return to the old rate on tbe first of January. We have nothing to say as to the justice or injustice of tbe reduction, because we have no means of knowing whether it was right or wrong. We do say, however, that considering the responsibility and dangers incurred, engineers are tbe poorest paid of any railroad employes. But that is neither here nor there. Tbe officials, tbe men who own railroads have a right to say what they can afford to pay their employes: If the rate is too low the engineers have the same right to decline service and seek employment elsewhere. Here the matter should end. Strikes, in our opinion, are not tbe best method for righting wrongs, however serious.

WHO ARE RESPONSIB LE. Strikers and tbeir friends are accustomed to disclaim all responsibility for the deeds of violence perpetrated when a strike is on hand. "The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers" have a first rate opportunity to prove the truthfulness of this claim in their own case. Let them 01 er a reward for the arrest and

FRANCE IS a great plaoe for expert* ments. Soon after the commencement of tbe Revolution the experiment of free divorce was tried there. In three months from the date of the law nearly as many divorces as marriages were registered in Paris, tn the whole country, within eighteen months, more than twenty thousand divorces were granted and historians agree that the moral degradation resulting waa fearfal. fy

WHKN the Express shall have irid tho community of those pestiferous women who will pray and give their money for tbe enlightenment of heathen women, knocked all the churches to flinders, and banished from courts of justice tbe oath, and purified the statute books of marriage laws, and made divorce as ree and easy among men and womeu as it is among animals, what next?

ORIGIN OF NSW TEARS. All great days have had an origin The correct tiling, however, has not been done towards New Years. We have read, with same interest and much -satisfaction, the numerous reliable and very contradictory statements concern ing the origin of the "great days" of the world and of America. Not having, however, as yet seen a well authenticated account of the origin of New Years, we are not disposed te let the starting point of book balancers, moral reformers and almanac makers slip by without a passing notice the more especially as so many are in the dark on the subject of its origin.

New Years originated accidentally with the innocent aborigines of America, and grew out of a very emphatic remark made in an early day by the head of the Puritan family, who immigrated to tbe United States in time to take a very active part in politics, as well as in tbe great moral reformation which subsequently overtook the astonished children of the forest. The Puritan family landed just three days before Christmas, and wishing to fix up a little,- were not prepared to receive calls until Christmas morning. They had provided themselves beforehand with a winter's supply of whisky and tobacco which the thoughtless Aboriginies, seeing it was Christmas, went for with exceeding liberality. Their kind overture excited no special attention for several days, but knowing that his family would be reduced to half rations before spring, and that tbe said Aboriginies, unprovided with almanacs, had forgotten bow long Christmas usually lasted, Old Mr. Pure resolyed to put a stop to it. Accordingly one morning just a week after tbe commencement of the memorable festivities, as he put his bead out of the window to look at the atmosphere, an Injun who was waiting for bim to get up, addressed tbe venerabie gentleman with the customary morning salutation "Christmas-whisky-chaw-ter-baek."

The old gentleman whose sleep bad been disturbed by the tramp of the sleepless Injun, responded in so solemn and emphatic "No, yer don't," that the gentle red man was startled from his propriety and hastened to inform

conviction of those who have tampered ... a the remainder of his tribe that Christwith engines, turned switches, endan-1

gering lives of passengers, those running engines. If, instead of this, they manifest a desire to shield guilty parties, as some of them did in tbeir readiness* rather tbeir eagerness, to get 011 the bail uond of the man who shot Vance at Indianapolis, then they will be held responsible for these crimes. These are crimes. Some of them ar crimes of the very worst sort Engineers cannot afford good name which they bear as a class, tarnisLed by such crimes.

THE Locomotive Engineers of the Vatidalia line acted very sensibly this week. Instead of joining the strike, a committee waited upon the officers of the road, to consult in regard to a return to the old wages. They are now working under a reduction of ten per cent. As we learn from the Gazette, the utmost harmony prevailed, and an amicable adjustment was made. The company proposed to raise the salary of tbe men to the standard, set up before the financial pressure, just as soon as the receipts of the road

would

If not before the first of March, tben the company would give due notice, and another arrangement might be entered into. The men seemed satisfied with this.

What, in all tlie year, is the happiest day and hour Surely Christmas and Christmas morning. And why? Because, principally, of the pre-determin-ation that it shall be such. Because not only of the preparation for long weeks before by industrious hands, or by tbe purchase by hard earned money, of tbe gifts to gladden so many hearts, but also of the preparation to receive. And when the light of the blessed morning wakes us all, then is the culmination of happy scenes—a happy hour ushered in by "I wish you a merry Christmas," getting more luminous the gifts are opened one after tbe other, and fading into another hour that like unto it, as a sweet strain of music repeated in softer tones. And where, let me ask, are such scenes witnessed Only in Christian lands. Oh! skeptic, can you see nothing in this fact Is not Christianity that lightens up its festivals with beauty and pe'ace and love and happiness superior to all other systems heathenish, transcendental, natfonalistic or what not? Ponder the matter well, let these sweet fruits of a divine religion influence your mind as they must your heart and then answer. As, this morning in these happy moments we sat at the breakfast table, the birds captive though they were in gilded cages swelled forth their notes in higher strains of joy. Or was it that we were only brought into union with them and the harmony evoked revealed their thoughts They sing day after day thankful and glad at heart for tbe common daily mercies. And we—what do we? More blessings and less sing ing than ihey through the common days, but this day we reach a higher plane. While sharing its joys let not tbeir source be forgotten. We may be sure the source and meaning of this holiday are forgotten by many—and it may be by some who profess the name of Him whose birth into tbis world is this day celebrated. Christmas is ignored by many, most of Protestant denominations as a religious day, the result doubtless of that tide that turned against the corruptions of the Roman church, that Puritanism that struck down every form of ceremony, every picture, every cross, every sym-

which has, through the carlessness of then would probably present a handlexicographers and others, been corrupted from "No Yer into New Year. These historical facts also throw light upon the starting point of that beautiful and healthy custom still practiced by millions of whites and Indians,who annually "swear off from the luxuries we have mentioned. Tbe occasion is hailed as happy No Yer," or New Year, from the fact that many families are annually made happy on seeing the head of the bouse and all the branches practicing total abstinence on that day. To this day the squaws of the western plains studiously exclude wines from their sideboards in their preparations for No Yer's," or New Year's afternoon receptions. With this slight exception the day is still observed in the same manner by both races.

some appearance. As we enter wo observe the appropriate inscription over the door of "We have seen in His star in the East and have come to worship Him." The interior is an attempt at more ornamentation than is to be seen in the other churches of the city. The ground plan in the form of the cross, the deep blue vault relieved by its supporting beams, its somber stained glass windows, altogether make a pleasant effect which is heightened to-day by the decorations in evergreens of wreaths, garlands, crosses and mottos. One of the latter over the chancel must have puzzled many nOt familiar with tbe old letters—a severe study revealed it to be "The noble army of martyrs praise Thee." The whole was in good taste. The music was elaborate and artistic and to many not effective just in proportion to its appearance of art. A good organist and quintette of good singers are capable of stirring the hearts of the large congregation present but I think many were not stirred. Having said something against congregational singing as commonly practiced, it may seem strange that I object to

ARTISTIC CHOIRS,

but I am with tbe mass here and do not need to argue tbe matter. They may be a drawing card and thus do good Indirectly, but seldom if ever any good directly. St seems tome there ii a happy medium in this business. Cannot the music that is just difficult of execution, a good exercise for the voice bat devoid of beauty and feeling be discarded, and that that is full of warmth and feeling be substituted And cannot the singers sing with this object in view, to produce this effect sad not to win applause

As to the other services we all knew what they are—good food to those soenstomed to them, not always relished by those used to simpler forms. It Is something not to be quarreled about, but to be accepted by those who prefer that form of worship.

the peculiar doctrines adopted. I say probably last, for I am not sure of it, but I am inclined to think that the masses however they may talk, are more influenced by the forms and methods used in their respective denominations than by their particular creed. One thing is evident,that while there are many sects, there is more unity of spirit to-day than there ever was. But this suggests a theme sufficient for a whole letter. One point however is pertinent to the subject of tbis communication—Christmas day. That, is that while all do not observe it in a formal, religious way, there is perfect unity among all Christians, Protestant and Roman and Greek churches in observing tbe spirit of it—making it a day of gladness and rejoicing. And they have drawn the whole civilized world into.it too. And does this not suggest another idea, that while Christianity may not fill our churches and embrace the masses in ftill sympathy, yet its spirit is filling the world—all men are being drawn into it. You see I do not believe the world is growing worse.

SUNDAY, December 28.

A perfect winter morning is this— crispy, smooth snow under the feet, a clear sky above, bracing but not severely cold air above us—what can be more exhilarating? These different moods of mother earth influence me as indeed whom do they or should they not. But I suppose there are many who scarcely feel them at all. Seeing, they see not, and hearing, they bear not. Have you ever read of that boy who was immured in a prison from his infancy until he was sixteen years old? If you have you will remember that for all that period he not only never saw the blessed light of day, nor the face of nature, but that he never saw tbe form of a living being until the latter part of his captivity, and only then of a single person. How be never stood up until he was lifted up for awhile previous to his departure. How then he tottered about as an infant, how he could see in the dark, how all his senses, both of body and mind, were wonderfnlly acute, and yet how when men and womeu and things beautiful and wonderfHl to the senses were about him he was oblivious to most of them. He could not grasp them. So I fear it is with many who have voluntarily imprisoned themselves—shut themselves out from nature with her varied influences and from the world of mind and spirit that has such wonders to disclose to those who look, for the sake of gross pleasure such as money, appetite, dress, applause, all of which prove in the end to be but phantoms I fear. To-day my steps were toward the

SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, For it was tbeir quarter century anniversary. And it certainly must have been a delightful day to the pioneers of that church, as it was interesting to those who witnessed the exercises. This little church is the most cosy in tbe city. The frescoed walls and ceilings are decidedly the finest in the city, and, indeed, can hardly be surpassed in artistic work anywhere. The music was plain and unpretending. There was gathered a goodly company,including many friends from other churobes. Rev. Mr. Condit, the present pastor had arranged an interesting programme in which, however, he modestly gave the exercises to the invited guests. The sermon of the day was by its first pastor, the Rev. Wm. M. Cheeyer, now of Kansas City—one beloved then, and still the same warm-hearted, genial man he was. It would be pleasant to reproduce his discourse here, out that I cannot do. Tbe reminiscences of his formation of the cburoh and of bis paatorate, were extremely interesting. His remarks were full of feeling and stirred tbe emotions of his hearers deeply. His quotation (from Whittiejr I think) was pMftounced with good effect, and bis calling to mind of the great events that have happened in this quarter century just passed, and of the advance made in the world in all directions, was of extreme interest. It was an occasion to draw out tbe best efforts of tbe speaker and to draw the audience into sympathy with him, and criticism (my forte, yod know) is precluded.

The afternoon meeting was also of much interest. It was denominated a reminiscence meeting, and letters from its former pastors and elders were read, and addresses made by several persons that were fall of Incidents pertaining to this church and tbe churches generally in an early day. Of particular interest was that of Rev. Dr. Henry Little, a venerable gentleman, one of tbe very first missionaries in Indiana. I understood him to say that he saw the establishment of the first Protestant church in this State. Think of the person addressing us as baving witnessed the beginning of this great State, of what Immense strides have been msde in one lifetime. He said be had been
