UNHAPPILY MARRIED.
REY. bTt. TALMAGE PREACHES
UPON AN 1111PORTANT
SUBJECT.
PRIMLY Iflows in laehalf of the Iiozno
and Against the Dissoluteness of
Modern Society—Wholesale Divorce
Oondernned—The Blessed Marriage
State.
Rev. Dr. Talmage chose as the subject
of Ms sermon in the Academy of Music a
topic of national interest, viz.: "Whole-
sale Divorce," The great audience re-
peatedly showed its appreciation of the
sentiments expressed by the reverend
speaker, and his sturdy blows in behalf
of the protection of the household and
,against the dissoluteness of modern so-
ciety were receiv d with marked ap-
preciation. Tho text selected was Matt.
10, 6, "What therefore God hath joined
tog••ther lot no man put asunder."
That tin- re are hundreds and thousands
of infelicitous homes in America no one
will doubt. If there were only oneskele-
ton in the closet, that might be looked up
and abandoned ; but in many a home
there is a skeleton in the hallway and a
skeleton in all the apartments.
'Unhappily married" are two words de-
scriptive of many a homestead. It needs
no orth dox minister to prove to a badly -
mated pair the,t:there is a hell ;; they are
there now. Sometimes a grand and
gracious woman will be thus incarcerated,
andher life will be a crucifixion, as was
the case with Mrs. Sigourney, tke great
poetess and the great soul. Sometimes a
consecrated man will be united to a fury,
as was John Wesley, or united to a
vixen, as was John Milton.' Sometimes,
and generally, both parties are to blame,
and Thomas Carlyle was an intolerable
cold, and his, wife smoked and swore ;
and Fronde, the historian, pulled aside
the curtain from the lifelong squabble at
Craigenputtock and Five, Cheyne Row.
Some say that for the alleviation of all
these domestic disorders of which we hear,
easy divorce is a good prescription. God
sometimes authorizes divorce as certainly
as He authorizes marriage. I have just
as much regard for one lawfully divorced
as I have for one lawfully married. But
you know and I know that wholesale
divorce is one of our national scourges.
I am not surprised at this when I think
of the influences which have been abroad
militating against the marriage relation.
For many l ears the platforms of the
country ran:; with talk about a free -love
millennium. There were meetings of
this kind hell in the Cooper Institute,
New York ; Tremont Temple, Boston, and
all over the land. Some of the women
who were most prominent in that move-
ment have since been distinguished for
great promiscuosity of affection. Popular
themes for such occasions were the ty-
ranny of man, the oppression of the mar-
riage relation, women's rights, and the
affinities Prominent speakers were wo-
men with short curls and short dress and
• a very long tongue; eyerlastingly at war
• with God because they were created wo-
men ; while on the platform sat meek men
with soft accent and cowed demeanor,
apologetic; for masculinity, and holding
the parasols while the termagant orators
went on preaching the doctrine of free
love.
That campaign of about twenty years
set more devils into the marriage relation
than will be exorcised in the next fifty.
Men and women went home from such
meetings so permanently confused as to
who were their wives and husbands that
, they.never got out of their perplexity,
and the criminal and civil courts tried to
disentangle the Iliad of woes, and this
one got alimony, and that one got a
limited divorce. and this mother kept the
childr n on condition that the father
could sometimes come and look at them,
and these went into poorh uses, and
those went into dissolute public life, and
all w: nt to destruction. The mightiest
war over made again t the marriage in-
stitution was that free -love campaign,
sometimes under one name, and some-
times tinder another.
Another influence that has warred up-
on the marriage relation has been the
• polygamy in Utah. That was a stereo-
typed carricature of the marriage rela
' tion, and has poisoned the whole land.
You might as well thinkthat you can
have an arm in a state of mortification,
and yet the whole body not be sickened,
• as to have those territories polygamized,
and yet the hcdy of the nation not feel
the putrefaction. Hear it, good mon
and women of America, that so long ago
as 1862 a law was passed by Congress
forbidding polygamy in the Territories,
and in all places -where they had jurisdic-
tion. Twenty-four years passed along
and five administrations before the first
brick was knocked from that fortress of
libertinism.
Every new President in his inaugural
tickled that monster with the straw of
condemnation, and every Congress stulti-
fied itself in proposing some plan that
would not work. Polygamy my stood
more
entrenched, and more brazen and more
puissant, and more. braggart,
and mere
infernal. James Buchanan, a much ab-
, used man of his day, did more for the
extirpation of this villainy than most, of
the subsequent administrations. Mr.
Buchanan sent out an army, and al-
° though it was halted in its work, still he
• ' weeemplished more than some of the` ad. -
Ministrations which did nothing but
talk, talk, talk ! At last, but not until
it had poisoned generations, polygamy
has received its death -blow.
Polygamy inklhah, warred against the
'marriage relation throughout the 1a
d.
It was impossible to have such an awful
sewer of iniquity sending up its rniasmi,
which was wafted by the winds north,
south, east and west, without the whole
land being affected by it.
Another influence that has'` warred
against the 'marriage relation in this
country has been •a pustulous literature,
with its millions of sheets every week
choked with stories of domestic wrongs,
and infidelities, and massacres, and out-
rages, until it is a wonder to me that
there are any decencies, or any common
sense left on the subject of marriage.
One-half of the . news ,, stands of all our
cities reek with filth. •
"Now," say some, "we admit all these
evils, and the only way to clear them out
or eorreet them is by easy divorce." Well
before we yield•to that cry, let us find out
how easy it is now.
I have looked over the laws of all the
States, and I find that while in some
States it is easier than in others, in every
State it is easy. Tho State of Illinois,
through its legislature, recites a long list
of proper causes for divorce, and then
closes tip by giving to the courts the
right to make a decreeof divorce in any
ease where they deem it expedient, After
that you are not, surprised at the an-
nouneemont that in one county of the
State Of Illinois, in oneyear, there were
eight hundred and ninety-three divorces.
If you want to know how easy it is, you
have only to look over the recordsof the
States. In the city of San Promisee
three hundred and thirty-three divorces
in one year; and in twenty years in New
England twenty thousand. Is that not
easy enough?
If the same ratio continue—the ratio of
multiplied divorces and multiplied cruses
of .divorce—we are not far from, the Limo
when our .courts will have to set apart
whole days for application, and all you
will have to prove against a man will be
that he left his newspaper in the middle
of the floor, and all you will have to
prove against a woman is that her hus-
band's coat is buttonless. Causes of di-
vorce double in a few years—doubled in
French, doubled in England, and doubled
in the United States. To show how very
easy it is, I have `to tell you that in West-
ern teserve, Ohio, the proportion of
divorces to marriages celebrated is one to
eleven a in Rhode Island, is one to, thir-
teen ; in Vermont, one to fourteen, Is
that not easy ent,ugh ?
I want you to notice that frequency of
divorce always goes along with the dis-
soluteness of society. Rome for five hun-
dred years had not one ease of divorce
Those were her days of glory and virtue.
Then the reign of vice began, and divorce
became epidemic If you want to know
how rapidly the Empire went down, ask
Gibbon.
What we want in this country and in
all lauds is that divorce be made more
and more difficult. Then people before
they enter that relation will be persuad-
ed that there will probably be no escape
from'it except through the door of the
sepulchre. Then they will pause on the
verge of that relation until they are fully
satisfied that it . is best, and that it is
right, and that it is happiest. Then we
shall have no more marriage in fun.
Then men and women will not enter the
relation with the idea that it is only a
trial trip, and if they do not like it they
can get out at the first landing. Then
this whole question will be taken out of
the frivolous into the tremendous, and
there will be no more joking about, the
blossoms in a bride's hair than about the
cypress on a coffin.
What we want is that the Congress of
the United States change the national
Constitution so that a law can be passed
which shall be uniform all over the coun-
try, and what shall be right in one State
shall be right in all the States, and what
is wrong in one State will be wrong in all
the States.
How is it now ? If a party in the mar-
riage relation gets dissatisfied, it is only
necessary to move to another State to
achieve liberation from the domestic ±18,
and divorce is effected so easy that the
first one knows of itis by seeing in the
newspaper that Rev. Dr, Somebody, on
March 17, 1895, introduced in a new mar-
riage relation a member of the household
who went off on a pleasure excursion to
Newport or business trip to Chicago.
Married at the bride's house. No Cards.
There are States of the Union which prac-
tically put a premium upon the disinte-
gation of the marriage relation, while
there are other States, like our own New
York State, that had for a long time the
pre-eminent idiocy of making marriage
lawful at twelve and fourteen years of
age
The Congress of the United States
needs to move for a changeof the national
Constitution, and then to appoint a com-
mittee -not made up of single gentlemen,
but of men of families, and their fami-
lies in Washington—who shall prepare a
good, honest, righteous, comprehensive,
uniform law, that will control everything
from Sandy Hook to the Golden Horn.
That will put an end to brokerages in
marriages. That will send divorce law-
yers into a decent business. That will
set people agitated for many years on the
question of how shall they get ,away
from each other to planning how can
tkey adjust themselves to the more or less
unfavorable circumstances.
More difficult divorce willput an estop-
pel to a great extent upon marriage as a
financial speculation. There are ' men
who zo into the relation just as they go
into Wall street to purchase shares. The
female to be invited into the partnership
of wedlock is utterly unattractive, and in
disposiuion a suppressedVesuvius. Every-
body knows it, but this masculine candi.
date for matrimonial orders, through the
commercial agency or through the county
records, finds out how much estate is to
'be inherited, and he calculates it. He
thinks out how long it will be before the
old man will die, and whether he can
stand the refractory temperuntil he does
die. and then he enters the relation ; for
he says : t"If I cannot stand it. then
through the divorce law I'll back out."
That process is going on all the time, and
men enter the relation without any moral
principal, without any affection, and itis
as:much a matter of stock speculation as
anything that transpired yesterday in
Union Prcific, Illinois Central or Dela-
ware and Lackawanna.
Now, suppose a man' understood, as he
ought to understand, that if he goes into
that relation there is nd possibility of his
getting out, or no probability, he would
be slow to put his neck in the yoke. He
would say to himself, "Rather than a
Caribbean whirlwind with a whole fleet of
shipping in its arms, give me a •zypher
off fields of sunshine and gardens of
peace." r
Rigorous divorce law will alsd''hinder
women from the fatal mistake of marry-
ing men to reform them'. If a your man
by twenty-five years of age or'• thirty
years of age have the habit of strong
drink fixed on him, he is as certainly
a
bound for a drunkard's grave a a that a
train starting out from the Grand Central
Depot at 8 o'clock to -morrow morning is
bound for Albany. The train may not
reach Albany, for it may be thzown from
the track, " The young roan may not
reach a drunkard's grave, for something
may throw him off the track of evil habit,
but the probability is that the train that
starts to -morrow morning at 8 o'clock for
Albany will'get there, and the probability
is that the young man who has the habit
of strong drink fixed' on him before
twenty-five or thirty years of age will ar-
..rive at a drunkard's grave. She knows
he drinks, although he tries to hide it by
chewing cloves. Everybody knows he
drinks. Parents warn, neighbors and
friends warn. She will, marry him, she
will r form him.
If she is unsuccessful in the experiment,
why then the divorce law will emanci-
pate her, because habitual drunkenness
is a Cause for divorce in Indiana'; Ken-
tucky, Florida, Connecticut and nearly
all the States. So the poor thing goes to
the altar of sacrifice. If youwill show
me the poverty -struck streets in any city
I will show you the homes of the women
who married monto reform them. In
one ease out of ten thousand it may be a
successful experxmentl i never saw

ous divorce .law, and that woman
say : "If I'am affianced too that m

Let roe say to the hundreds of young
people in this house this afternoon; be
fore you give your heart and -hand in
holy alliance; use all caution ; :inquire
outside as to habits, explore the disposi•.
tion, scrutinize the taste, question the,
ancestry, and find out the ambitions. Do
not take the heroes'. and the heroines of
cheap novels for a model Do not put
your lifetime happiness in the keeping
of a man who has a reputation for being
a little loose in morals, or in the keeping
of a woman who dresses fast. Remember
that while good looks are a kindly gift of
God, wrinkles or accident may : despoil
them, Remember that Absalom's hair
was not more splendid than his habits
were despicable. Hear it, hear it ! The
only foundation for happy marriage that
has ever, been or ever will be is good
character.
Ask God whom you shall marry if you
marry at all. A union formed in prayer
will be a happy union, though sickness
pale the cheek, and poverty empty the
bread tray, and death open the small
graves, and all the path of life be strewn
with thorns, from the marriage altar
with its wedding march and orange blos-
soms clear on' down to the last 'farewell
at that gate where Isaac and Rebecca,
,Abraham and Sarah, Adam and Eve,
parted.
And let me say to you who are in this
relation,if you make one man or woman
happy yon have not lived in vain. Christ
says that what He is to the Church you
ought to be to each other; and if some-
times through difference of opinion or
differenceof disposition, you make up
your mind that your marriage was a
mistake, patiently bear and forbear, re-
membering that life at the longest is
short, and that for those who have been
badly mated in this world, death will
give quick and immediate bill of divorce-
ment written in letters of green grass on
quiet graves. And perhaps my brother,
my sister—perhaps you may appreciate
each other better in heaven: has yon;
have appreciated each other on earth.
In the "Farm Ballads,' our American
poet puts into the lips of a repentant
husband, after at ife of married•pertur-
bation, these suggestive words :
And when she dies I wish that he would be laid
by me,
And, lying together in silence, perhaps we will
agree.
And i£ ever wemeet in Heaven, I would not
think it queer
If we love eaeh other better because we quarrel-.
led here.

is also clanked, to give o t
good results in the
production of milk and In a bul-
letin now in press, the Experibient Station
gives the details of some experiments ear-
ned out to test the value of this feed.
The feed has been examined as to its
chemical composition, its digestibility,
and its actual feeding value for hairy
cows. ' The results of these experiments
were in brief as follows :
The chemical composition was found,
on the whole, to correspond very well to
the composition claimed foe the feed. Its
digestibility was comparatively,,. low, the
total amount of digestible. food present
in the feed being somewhat less than in
clover or timothy hay, and somewhat
greater..than that sound in good cornfod-
der, although the proportion of protein is
considerably, higher than that in either
cornfodder or timothy. At the price
named, a' pound of digestible food in the
cottonseed feed was found to cost 84 per
cent. more than in timothy or clover hay,
and 20 per bent. more than in corn. Two
experiments were made with dairy cow
to test its value as a feed for milk an
butter. In the first experiment a 'ration
of cottonseed feed and bran produced 18
per cent. less milk and 10 per cent. less
butter than one of cornfodder, mixed with
'hay, cornmeal and cottonseed meal con-
taining the same amount of dry matter.
The estimated net profit per cow per day
Was 17 per trent. less on the cottonseed
feed ration than on the hay and fodder
ration. In the second experiment, a ra-
tion of cottonseed feed, bran and Buffalo
gluten meal produced 15 per cent. less
milk and 6 per cent. less butter than a
ration of clover hay, cornmeal, bran and
gluten meal containing 2 pounds more
grain and three fourths of a pound more
coarse fodder. The net (profit per day
and head, in this case, was 4 per cent.
less on the clover ration than on the cot-
tonseed feed ration, but it is probable that
the cows on the clover hay ration were
somewhat overfed.
The general conclusion drawn from
these investigations is that cottonseed
feed is too expensive in proportion .to the
amount of food which it contains to suc-
cessfully compete on equal terms with
ordinary dairy feed' at average prices.
An incidental result of the experiments
is to illustrate the possibilities of profit
in dairying. The net profit above the
estimated cost of feed and care in these
experiments ranged from 77 to 85 per
cent. of the cost of the feed. While there
are other elements of expense in dairying
whieh are not included in these estimates,
the results nevertheless make a very good
showing for the profits of dairying and
particularly of butter production.

Every ambitious boy or girl should be

BAKLD EGGS.—Butter a tin or old sau-
cer, and on to it place a raw egg.; bake
it for about ten minutes, or till the egg is
nicely set, A novel way of baking eggs
is as follows : Fust prick several holes in
the large end of two eggs to alio w the es-
cape of the confined air, as it expands
from the heat ; place on, a small tin, and
bake about ten minutes,
butter and castor sugar, and a teaspoon-
ful of baking powder. Workintoa cream,
and beat for a few mordents. Spread this
mixture on to a buttered Yorkshire pud-
ding' tin, and bake for five minutes in a
very gtiick' oven. When cooked, turn on
to sugared paper, spread one-half with
lemon curd or orange filling, press the
other tightly on it, and cut into three -
cornered pieces as sandwiches. Arrang
on a silver or glass dish, scatter sugar
over and serve,
HAnIcOT MUTTON.—Take some uncook,
ed mutton, either from the breast or neck
and fry it (in pieces of three inches by
two inches in chops) till well browned on
both sides: Place the meat in a stewpan,
stir some flour into the fat in the frying
pan, add sliced onion, also a carrot cut
thin and stamped into ornamental shapes.
Fry lightly, add half a pint of water or
stock, stir it well into the vegetables and
flour whilst it comes to boil. Let it boil
two or throe minutes, then pour boiling
water into the meat saucepan and let all
simmer gently for two hours. Any odd
pieces of flesh meat may be treated from
this recipe. Color the gravy well 'before
serving.
BATTER FOR FRrrrnRS.—Beat the yolks
of two eggs until pale, then add a teacup-
ful of cold water, and by degrees beat in
gradually a half pound of flour. The
batter should be of the consistency of thin
cream, so that it should pour easily from
the spoon ; therefore, if too thick, add
more water. Let the batter stand for at
least an hour before using it.
RABBIT CROQUETTES.—Mince finely the
white meat from a rabit, add to it an
equal quantity of bacon or ham, season
with grated lemon peel and chopped pars-
ley, salt and cayenne t ' taste. Place all
in a basin, add a little flour, and one or
two eggs, according to the amount of meat
used. Form the meat in rolls, dip in
egg and then in breaderumbs, and fry in
boilinglard. Serve on a folded d'oyley,
and garnish with fried parsley, potato
chips, and slices of lemon.
APPLFI FRPTTERS,--Make'a batter with
two eggs, half a pint of milk, and suf-
ficient flour to make it the consistency of
cream. Peel some large cooking apples,
core them, and cut them in slices across,
Dip these into the batter, and then drop
each separately into hot fat. When
brown on one side, turn and fry on the
other. Drain on soft paper, and serve on

sugar silted over.
How the Grip Came.
Up two flights of stairs under the roof
of a double tenement house on Catharine
street lies S. John Kuno, African pioneer
and missionary, sick with African fever.
after a four years' experience of mission-
ary work under the tropics, he has re-
turned with the usual missionary reward
—a consciousness °' dutles;well perform-
ed, a trqul{'lesoltearland indurabla 'disease
and.'a large'wa'd`of photographs. •'
Thd'llifrican fever is really a cross be-
twuan Malaria and influenza. Your head
splits, you shiver and roast by turns, and
when: it is .through with you you are so
weak that you generally die as a matter
of preference. The doctors claim that
you can't have it in a temperature less
than .52 degrees, but Mr. Kuno says he
knows better. He has had it this week.
Moreover, he goes further and advances
a new theory for scientific consideration.
The grip, he says, as far as he can
earn, is nothing more than the African
fever in a mild form. What is more, the
disease started a few years ago, just after
a lot of African missionaries returned
home, and he is personally convineed
that African fever was among their bag-
gage. The African disease, he says, the
doctors know nothing about, and he
thinks we treat the ° of
rip too mildly, be-
ing too much of quinine. The
afraid''
dose for African fever in the medical
books is two grains at a time, but in
Africa the old hands take as much as 120
grains :at a crisis, putting it down liter-
ally in handfuls. He himself has taken
so much that it has permanently affected
his hearing a continous buzzing go-
ing on in his head like a spluttering
telephone.
