Many and varied discussions have grown oat of the subject of marriage, its evils and blossings, its happiness and misery, its successes and failures, in which many wise and many foolish things have been said and written. One of the finest disquisitions in this field that we have seen for a long time is from the pen of the poet-philosopher, John Weiss, and is published in tho current number of the Old and New Magazine. We advise all our readers who can conveniently get possession of a copy of the magazine to read the article for themselves, as they will gain both pleasure and profit from the perusal.
Mr. Weiss alludes to tho common observation (which is frequently a sneer) that tho rolatious of lovers are so different after marriago than they were before, nothing could be more natural or more to be cxpocted. During courtship the halo of love hid the faults and defects of each from the eyes of the other. It is the old story about the enchantment of distance. They were not present to each other then at all times and in all moods. They lived in an atmosphere of romance widely different from tho monotony of real life. Meeting thus occasionally, and always when each was in the uiost genial spirits and sweetest temper, what wander if they remained ignorant, to a great extont, of each other's true nature? It is when we see each other at our wsrst, as well as at our best, that our true characters begin to manifest themselves.
As a partial remedy for this ignorance the writer suggests the co-education oi tho sexes, as far as practicable and to a much greater extent than at present is done. In this way, pursuing tho toilsoriio road to knowledge together, the young of both sexes would have many opportunities to become intimately ac quaintcd with each other. Ho does not think the objection that has been urged against mixed education, viz: that the influenco would be detrimental to the finer sensibilities and native delicacy of the female sex, is of much force, because the natural instincts of woman will form a shield from any harm in that direction. Another objection, that girls have not the physical health and vigor, particularly at a certain period, to endure such a severe course of study as their hardier brothers, is of more consequence. To avoid any injury, from overwork the course for girls should bo made lighter than that for boys certain studies should bo omitted or postpened to a later period.
All this is in the shape of a preventive for ill-assorted marriages. After the marriage is once made whaUthen Then tho best is to bo made of it that can be. Mutual concessions, mutual sacrifices, mutual allowance for each other's shortcomings, this is the only road to peace, affection and happiness. There will bo many painfull surprises no doubt on each side many revelations of foibles and weaknesses, the existence of which waa never suspected in tho romantic days of courtship. Harsh words, depreciation, recrimination, these will not soften the rough angles and pat roses in tho place of thorn*. Quite another kind of treatment is demanded. "Some homes," says the writer, "aro taverns where, three times daily, something to eat can be procured and linen be washed upon Monday with considerable tnang. liug of nerves and the English language."

There la no doubt but this absurd rivalry In matters of dress and domestic economy la carried to a greater extreme in this country than anywhere else in the world. Everybody wants to bo rich, to live like a senator, and in the hurry and straggle for money the real objcct and purpow of life, serene
quiet enjoyment, is overlooked
and forgotten. Time is wanting lor the cultivation of the social amenities, for the development of the finer feelings nnd
sensibilities, and
life becomes
harsh nnd rupgfd thing, lacking the lull ami mellow ripenees which it is the peculiar province of marriage to give. Perhaps this foolish propensity senda a blight upon more honwjs than any oUlW fP one thing. th-
Hut what of divoroe so much

A pair may be so ill mated, the differences of disposition and temperament so irreconcilable, that it would be sheer moral death to continue the marriage relation. In suoh cases divorce is the least of two evils and the beat that can be done. But it would seldom need to be resorted to if a sufficient mutual effort was made towards conciliation and self-amendment.
JACOB CARLISLE, of Areola, Illinois, in a published card, warns all persons from taking his wife into harbor. He gives a horriblo "bill of particulars," all of which, except the last, might have been endured—as they have been 6hdurod by hundreds before Jacob. We aro fYee to admit howevor, that the last item was a sufficient feathor to break tho camel's back. But hero is Jacob's mournful statement: 41
She has been so disagreeable that I cannot live with her. Sho threvv a candlestick into my mouth and cut it, and has repeatedly kicked me. She threw the chairs out of doors, and took my ax with the intention of chopping them to pieces, to prevent which I was compelled to send the ax to tho house ot one of my neighbors. She throw a butcherknife at me, sticking it in the door, and declared that she wished it had split my head open. She struck me on the head with a broom-handle, raising a tumor thereon nearly as large as a hen's egg. An atLempt was made to poison me by putting arsenic in my iug of whisky, of which I drank, and which nearly killed me, and I suspect that sho did it."
SENATOR MORTON'S proposed amendment to the Constitution of tho United States in regard to tho method of electing the President and Vice President has been discussed in the Senate. The proposed change is to allow the people to vote directly ior President and Vice President, instead of electors as under the preaent law. Mr. Morton- in the courso of his argument demonstrated vo^y clearly the dangers to which the country had been subjected under the existing law. The proposed amendment should meet with popular approval, as it has everything to commend it te faver.
THE President has approved an act removing the disabilities of Dabney H. Maury and Clias. M. Fauntleroy. Isn't it about time this ridiculous farce of removing rebel disabilities by act of Congress was concluded If Maury has a right to the removal of his disabilities, we'd like to know what ex-rebel hasn't. He was one of the most objectionable. To put an end to the nonsense, Congress should at once pass an act of general amnesty. It's beneath the dignity of the United States to be peddling out pardons.
THE Temperance people are exultant over a victory in tho State Senate yester day. The local option feature was passed by a vote of 28 to 20. On tho resolution of Mr. Johnson, of Parke, providing for personal liability, the ayes were 31, noes 16. On the resolution providing ior making it equally criminal on the part of both buyer and seller in case of illegal sale, the ayes 42, noes 6. The House of Representatives has set apart next Wednesday for the consideration of the temperance bills.
THAT was a very unpretty thing in the Supreme court of Maine, to decide that women were not eligible to office, even after they bad been elected to positions of honor, trust and profit. Scone of them were made justices of the peace. Bat Governor Dingley has been found equal to the occasion and advises the passage ofan enabling act. So the "sex" b«ve a political ftature before them, after all. I?*:"
Spiritualism has noetly gained a very strong hold upon the Mormons, and a very large proportion of them have declared themselves believers in it. It is said to be very difficult to persuade those who abandon the Mormon fMth to adopt Christianity, and if Mormonism ever passes away, most of its believers will be likely to beoome Spiritualists or downright Materialsts. s9=ssfi=sss=aes #"'•*. tif

Correspondence of TUe Mail NEW YORK, Jan. 27,1875.
The general feeling is that we have bad enough of Moulton, and I think Mr. Beecher's counsel are eminently of that mind. He is not to blame for having eutstaid his welcome but eleven days pumping wculd exhaust almost anybody of all that was interesting to tho public. The tedium of the woek of cross-examina-tion, now exceeded, has been extreme. It has elicited hardly anything new or really important—certainly not a partial 0 of essential evidence—but it has yielded Mr. Beecher's counsel a store ot materials, for constructing ingenious arguments against tho impartiality, honesty and disinterestedness of tho witness as well as a foundation for numerous contradictions ot him by witnesses
own, particularly Mr. Beecher,
who, it is evident from the time of
cross-examination,
is biding his time to
give him the lie in a great many particulars besides the main charge. The reader of the full reports has a much better opportunity to judge of the value of all
these
.materials than the jury lor
he has the privilege of skipping the disputes ef counsel, which take up most of the time, and be is
deprived
at any rate
of the theatrical effects. The defence finished their cross-examination on Monday afternoon, except a question or two, which they shrewdly declined to put after four o'clock, wishing to have the night for after-thoughts,which obiect Fullerton as shrewdly tried to thwart. But Beach, who always stands up for his "legal day's work1' of four hours, joined his voice to that of Lvarfcs lor adjournment and the indulgent judge yielded as usual.
On Tuesday morning, the announcement ef the sudden death of Mr. Moulton's mother threw the proceedings into temporary confusion. But after a consultation with counsel in tho judge's chambers, Mr. Moulton yielded his personal feelings at their earnest request and consented to have his examination finished without interruption. Ihe
cross-examination,
which began on
Tuesday afternoon of last weok, was then completed at about Tuesday noon of this, making lust a week, besides the re-cross-examination, which will probably stretch into Thursday.
The re-direct examination is rapid and effective' by Fullerton, but interrupted and stretched out to tedious length by objection to nearly
everv
ques
tion followed by debate, ruling and exception. Fullerton's inevitable thrusts of sarcasm enliven the long-drawn stubborn, inch-by-inch contest, and Evarts' snappishness also contributes to make it amusing. What with the latter gentleman's want of serenity. Tracy's want of sweetness and dispatch, and Porter's want of health, Mr. Beecher's guns have been been badly used in comparison with his adversary's, for the past w.eek. In most cases, Fullerton's questions are so well put, and Mr. Beach's argument for them is so strong, at least in tho judge's opinion, that the plaintiff's counsel 'succeed in getting in their counteractive evidence against tho points made on tho cross exalmination. Sometimes they do more than counteract, adding, by the aid of their extremely cam bio witness, very impressive new evidence which completely turns the tables.
For instance: there are two theories of Tilton's relation to the Woodhulls. His explanation of it is that ho went in witli her—as did Moulton also—solely to induce her to refrain from persuing the Beecher-Hlton
Scandal in her paper and
otherwise, and for this object fathered her ridiculous autobiography,introduced her at the Steinw&v Hall meeting, and did
many
other absurd things. The
cross-examination
aimed at breaking
down this theorv, and at connecting Tilton with the Free Lovo Apostle as a sympathizer. It compelled Moulton to testify that Tilton introduoed her at the Stcinway Hall meeting, but allowed him to say nothing more. The "re-direct," after the usual sharp legal dispute, succeeded in getting in the question. "In 'what words did he introduce her?" In answer, the witness repeated, word for word, in fine style, the speoch of introduction, ending with the words, "1 do not know what her opinions may be on this subject, for I have never heard her express them. She may be a fanatic or a fool, and I would rather be both than lack the courage of asking from an American audience the right of freedom of speech for a woman." The sensation which this produced in the court room was remarkable, as a tribute of admiration alike to
the
address and success of
both the examiner and witness although few cared much about the minor point involved eithei way.
Again, the cross-examination had got among its really eff««tive points—I thought by fiir the most important of all —the letter from Moulton
to
Beecher, in
which he said, Yon can stand, If the whole truth were published." This certainly seemed to mean, by itself, that there was nothing really damning in the Jacts. It was a hard fight between Beach and Evarts to get in the question, What did you mean
hy
that? Finally, it was
allowed, In the form of an inquiry, What did you say tb Mr. Beecher in connection with that letter? Hie answer alleged that he represented to Mr. Beecher that if be were, in that case, to express to his church the
contrition
he
bad already expressed to Tilton, tbev would forjirve him and he could stand and that, he added, was what -I meant in the letter. This
explanation
will be
clinched by Mrs. Moulton, who Is expected to
testify
that she gave Mr.
Beecherthe advice to make a clean breast
WfTliere
the
was a point in which I thought
cross examination erred lamentably and judging from thn peculiarly
fill looks of the plainti!f*s Counsel whilo General Tracy was examining Moulton on bis declarations of Mr. Beecher's innocence to some score of persons, 1 must think my lay judgment wascorred They got the whole of that part of the evidence introduced to the jurvjust as their opponents wished it, and-just as they themselves did not want it: j.« in the form of Moulton's own avowal tliat he did it to mislead and cover up the scandal, in acoordanoe with the whole four years'plan. If, on the contrary the defense had introduced this testimony out of the mouths of their own witnesses, its moral effect would have bean very diflbrent. As it was the re-direct examination was enabled to bring out the intentional falsehood, and its metive in still bolder relief, and to add to it tho startling testimony that all this testimony was duly reported to Mr. Beecher, and that he thanked the witness for it adding that where lying was necessary' the best way was to lie sublimely.
On the disparity of counsel which strikes me although I presume of course that Judge Ncilson means to bo strictly impartial, I imagine I can discern occasionally an eflort to bo as indulgent as possiblo to the side of the defendant, in consideration of rulings which have to go, in the value of at least four te one, against him. The judge has been particularly polite to Mr. Evarts evor since he snubbed that distinguished gentleman so horribly, last Friday, But what human mind* could altogether repel tho advantages at which it is approaehed by a pair of lawyer like Beach and Fullerton. the one always deliberate, formal and dignified ^and the other always quiet and humorous as against Tracy's grating enmity of look and manner, and Evart's perpetual and pertinacious petulance— maugre the splendid abilitv and clearness of liis argument, and ihe exquisite precision and force of bis diction.
The witnesses in waiting at present to take Mr. Moulton's place
011
the stand,
are Mr. Franklin Woodruff, senior partner of Moulton in the firm of Woodruff Robinson and Mr. Frank B. Carpenter, the artist. This makes only three Franks in a row, so fir, but 1 suppse they will all prove "true to name,' as the seedsmen say, unless in some parts of cross-examination, where the temptation is very strong not to say just what the hostile counsel want you to, and want to make ywu, too. Mr. Woodruff is a bulky man, with a big head and a fine, genial lace, both somewhat grizzled as to their respective hair, and kept in trim order. Mr. Carpenter looks not unlike an artist, pale from reoent sickness, aud the solitary moustache stands out almost black on its pallid field. These two are both "confession" witnesses, and probably their direct evidence will be brief 1 ut important and cumulative.
Mr Beecher is not well, and shows it —tho efieot, it is said of a cold, which is also apparent. But his general decline of appearance is much remarked, and there are those who say, and more who think, that some sudden and tragical end of this trial before it is finished need not be an altogether unexpected event, if there be truth in all wo have heard of his liability to sudden death under excessive stiain or excitement. With all Mr. Beecher has to carry, in his pulpit mid other labors, added to this tremendous ordeal, the only wonder could be that he is on his feet to this time.
Mrs. Beecher still accompanies her husband (though both wuro absent 011 Monday) but the other ladies have been uRusudly conspicuous tiiis week—by their absence. The severo criticisms of the press on the uncalled-for and rather brazen display of Mrs. Tilton's presenco have doubtless had their proper effect. Like almost every other step or trait of the counsel by wiiich Mr. Beecher's affairs have been managed lor a long time, her attendance on the trial was having a very prejudicial moral effect, and her withdrawal is just in tiiuo to be too late as a remedy.
