Somebody wHtea firom aomewhereto aome newspaper as a atartltng and strange pleeeof new# that a rcepertahle young man haa sat man led a woawtof the town. Why not? They metoa eqoU terms In the first pteee without doubt. If he fcnnd her dboontented with ber USa, and be was discontented with hi*, and they wilted each other, why not marry If be to Ihithful to hto vows be will make a good husband. And If she is hllhftal to her promises ahe will make a good wife. And there is nt more reason to snppoae that the one will be unfaithful than the other. What puxslee T. T. to why people would think It strange that a man should marry a woman of the town, and not think it strange that a woman should many a man of the town. The latter to often done, and nebody thinks it worth while to write It up for the papers.

Awhile since a woman attempted to kill ber child and herself. It became known that she and her husband had quarreled the night before, and this fact led to the discovery of the cause of the quarrel, which was the unfaithfulness of the wife to ber marriage vows. The husband felt called upon to publish a card stating to the public the ifcets in the

In the card be told bow be discovered the infidelity of the wife, and that, in consequence, they had arranged to separate. Ue also admitted in the •tmnvn eird that he was not himself free from the sin which in hto wife was the cause of the separation. But beseemed entirely obllvous to the fket that his infidelity was any occasion for the wife to complain. If be could live with tfce wife while unftithful to ber, why not while she was unfaithful to him? Is there any reason why sauce for the ooese should not be sauce for the gander? There may be, but T. T. cannot see it. Hie mistress and ber keeper are equally respectable or otherwise. The woman of the town Is as good as the man of the town. The wife has just the same right to be unfaithful to the husband as he to be on&ithftil to ber. If not, why not? Tbto conclusion may not raise the respectability of these women, but it will put a good many men where they belong in

THX Oai'BCK AXD 8CIHNCB. The publication of John Stuart Mill's posthumous work on religion, now being Issued firom the English press, affords the opportunity for a new outburst against the men devoted to the study of physical science: not that Mill belonged to this claw himself but he was an Infidel, a sufficient reason for making Mm the representative of a claw with which be had nothing at all to do, It is aston (thing to see what great injustice is dons to the leader* In physical ice. lb misrepresent their theories, and spirit to the common practice of the clergy. Only last night In one of our metropolitan churches we listened with ill-suppressed indignation to the moat grow and deliberate misstatement of the doctrines of Darwin, Huxley and Tyndall, the reverend gentleman making out that these teachers would have us believe that man sprang firom dead matter, was a Mind unconscious machine, irresponsible for bis desda, of toes consequence than a tree or tosfe, earning from nowhere and going to nowhere, wfth no glorious destiny, In feet being baser than the Imagination of a Twrra del Fuegian could ooneelve.

Tills is very vigorous writing and will be aooepted by many as a truthful statement of tbe tuation but it is in ftot as iklae sa possible. We search in vain in the works of Darwin, Huxley and Tyndall for those fierce attacks on religion. (Of Mill we do not speak for he belongs to a different class entirely, to the class of metaphysical speculators and was never concerned In the actual pursuit of physical sdenoe.) These men have not attacked religion but religion has attacked them. Tbey are earnest, sincere men who have- given their lives to searching into tbe origin and nature of force and matter, finding out what is written on the heavens and in tbe earth, reading the lessons which the rocks and the trees teach. Their method is cautious and humble. They make no swaggering boasts of the greatness of their achievements. On the contrary all that they have done or can do seems little and unsatisfactory to them. They are disheartened oftentimes at themeagreness of the results they are able to arrive at. But the little they are able to learn in all humility they lay before the world. They give their theories and the evidence which they have found to sustain them. They insist on no man accepting their results agaiigrt his will. Tbe world to the jury bfifore which their testimony to liid it c«h bring in a verdict of true or se as seems good to it. Much less do they ask anyone to east away his long vshertohed faith and accept anew one. Not one of these men would do such a thing and we challenge an examination of their works for any word or sentence to this efTect. This war was commenced by the church because it construed their discoveries to be in opposition to some of its own dogmas. And how unequal to the battle. On one side Is tbe church numbering Its millions, led by thousands of educated and able ministers, who expound its doctrines Sabbath after Sabbath throughout the civilised world resting on the authority of divine revelation and bulwarked by tbe history of centuries with its mighty enginery of pulpit, press, Sunday schools, books snd periodicals. This on the ono side and on the other a few thoughtful, earnest men, without claim to authority, armed only with their microscopes, scalpels and blow-pi pea, going out into the physical universe around them, to find what tbey cannot help finding—whatever to there. These men, reaching knowledge by slow •nd patient prooswte, abstaining from hasty conclusions until all tbe evidence has been examined, toy tbe results of their labors before the world and are decried as Cloths and Vandals, seekiug to overturn the whole structure of religion and destroy all faUh and confidence among men in a word, to pull down the very pillars of society and overwhelm mankind In the ruins of chaos and anarchy I Could anything be more absurd? This misrepresentation will not do the cause of Christianity any service. The truth will come uppermost In the end. Denounce it and revile It as yon may, If evolution is true evolution will stand, as surely as tbe Ooperuican theories stands. This word before we close: If you want to know what Darwin, Tjrndail, lluxtar and Spencer teaeh, read their works for

rtelf and form your own conclusions, take them at aeeond*band and especially from the mouth of tbe minister. MHMaWBSSSBMSBS iiRKKixa notfe* printed yenrs ago on the pragrammeagof Itarfcm's Theater:

A letter from Switzerland says that hundreds of English ladies may be met tramping through the mountains, Alpine stock in hand, keeping up with their male relatives or friends.
