Yes, this is what my neighbor said that night,

" Thi, sweet world is too sweet to end in death."

DIVORCE "AND POLYGAMY.
A Strong Indictment front the EpiscOpal
'Church,.
At the New York Episcopal Conference
yesterday a, report on divorce and polygamy
was read. The report stated that divorces
were obtained on most- frivolous pretexts.
In New England the proportion of divorces
was one to eleven marriages. The fre-
quenCy. with which divorces were obtained
and the laxity of popular sentiment on the
subject were shocking. It was not to be
disguised that the severances of marriage
ties Were the direct outgrowth of preceding
ungodly lust, :seeking for new affinities.
The report coneluded as follows : -
While we admitthe rightof-separation
for. sufficient cause, Resolved, that we
recognize no .ground for divorce : except
violation of the seventh vOmmandment.
Whorn-God -kith joined together-. letno
man put asunder ." Resolved, that we will.
refuse to marry Or admit to membership ix
our chuhes ...any who - are --rdivorced ou
unscripturel-groimas. _
-Id reference to polygamy the report
Stated- thats-the.pretende4 right- of one man
to more than one wife was an attempt to
rob some other man of any., ---and involved
the equal right of a woman • to. more than
one husband.. BY the laws of .Christian
nations polygamy was held as •9: high crime
against society and punishable by a heavy
penalty. Utah had. been , and . was,
non r_ - in - .an ,attitude . of defiance`
aoainst. the: nation. The filth of - its
abomipations was overflowing: into other
territories; andrin-tOnjuaction :with Com,:
munism; threatened- to infect the nation.-•
The people's ...negleet.in this Matter had
already: become a national wrong if not a
crime. .1Under the flinasy. pretext that:
polygamy is an article. of religious belief;
Mormons clainied immunity and indulged
their hellish lusts, - This resolution was
gicpn -in conclusion -.Resolved, - that We
higlilyapprcite", President Garfield's inaugu-
ral •addresa on thissubject, and Pledge our
support for the extirpation ofthis hideous
wrong.; that -this Christian-. nation can no
lOngerinnocently_ toleratethis foul blot
upon our name and we, as representatives
in part of the Christian Church and Minis

THE LOST -CHARLEY BOSS.
A Possible Clue to the aliening Boy Sent
to Col. Forney from Loudon.
Another clue to the lost Charley Ross
has been discovered, and it comes to light
through (Jul. John W. Forney, of thila-
delphia. He has received a letter from
Robert 13enjamin Hugman,dated " 36 Green-
wood road,Palston, London, N. E., March
31, 1881.r In this letter Mr. Hugman says
he was under the impression that the boy
had been restored to his parents, until he
saw a paragraph in &paper to the contrary
a short time ago.- " Up to the 25th of this
month," hewrites to Col. Forney, 't I lived
in Loughton,.Essex, twelve miles northeast
of London. My two youngest children,
attended a- school there, to which place
also a Charley Ross came. He was a.
