A SINO ULAR DOMESTIC RUPTURE.

were married at New Albany. Tho hus?

lic, and tho murringo was solemnized by
a Methodist minister, tho husband re?
fusing to bo married by a Catholic, and
the wifo being quito willing to have? tho
ceremony .solemnized by a Piotestant
minister. Tho couplo lived together
happily enough until recently, when the
wife demanded that tho tuarriago hu
again solemnized, and by a Catholic
priest, as bhu did not consider tho cere?
mony by tho Methodist minister ut all
binding. Tho husband ref used to accede
to tho wife's demand, and thereupon she
separated from him aud returned to tin
parental roof. Tho result will be a di?
vorce, lu this instance, religion, instead
of promoting happiness, has caused do

"Walting Vp tbs Wrong P???engcr."
ODO pf oar contemporaries relates the
following story of aninoidentof a young
disputant, who unconsciously sought to
annihilate Captain Matthew F. Maury,
in an argument on a scion ti fie question:
When Captain Maury, the distin?
guished savant, was in England, just
after the war, he was dining one day
with a distinguished party. Daring
dinner the subject of "induction" came
np, and a young gentleman, fresh from
the university, plunged enthusiastically
into the discussion, taking issue with
Captain Maury and arguing several
points with considerable warmth. Cap?
tain Maury, who is as modest ns be is
learned, skillfully and kindly parried the
argumentative thrusts of his young
antagonist by suggesting, in a mild way,
his views on the subject, which the
young university man strove to demolish
with his own opinions, dogmatically de?
livered. Alter dinner tho young gentle?
man's uncle said to bim : "I say, Charley,
what au ass you made of yourself at
dinner, to nrgue about 'induction' with
Captain Maury." "Why, my dear
uncle," said the astonished university
mau, "you don't tell mc that that little
mau was the greut Maury!" "It is quite
true," said his uncle. Whereupon the
horrified youngster, with admirable
frankness, hastoned to apologize tc
Captain Maury for having made such "ii
beastly fool" of himself, tho Captait
receiving his protestations with a smile,
and tolling him that there was no barns
done, adding, "You aro very young, mj
dear young gentleman."
Moral-lio sure who you arguo with at
dinner parties.
There is a striking indentity of this
incident with a similar ono which occur
rod in regard to another eminent South
ern savant. It happened in the yoa;
1837, wheu President Yan Buren hat
convened au extra session of Cougreai
to consider his new financial schemo o
the sub-treasury, aud tho country wa
greatly excited on tho subject, and espo
cially by the sudden announcement o
the support of that measure hy John C
Calhoun. Previous to thnt, Mr. Cal
bonn had become ono of the idols of th
Whig porty, on account of his opposi
tion to General Jackson in tho remova
of tho deposits and the State bond Bye
tem. He had always been, too, tho bit
ter opponent of Mr. Van Buren, oven t
the point of withdrawiug from till pet
sonal iutercourso with him. Those lact
and his great talents made him itu
mcusuly popular with tho Whigs of tba
duy. Correspondingly virulent and bil
ter were their indignation aud uubouuii
cd their denunciations of him when hi
celebrated Edgehill Iel ter proclaime
his sudden adhesion to tho sub-treasur
system. Calhoun, tho traitor! Joh
Cataliue Calhoun, wero the phrases ar.
plied by all the Whig partisans to thi
great man.
It was when this feeling was at il
height that tho vacation at tho Univei
sity of Virginia occurred, and a numbt
of tho students, on their way homi
having to take tho stage at Charlotte
ville, found themselves intormixeJ wit
a number of Congressmen ou their wu
to Washington. In ono of tho stagi
there were au equal number of studcu
and Congressmen, and very quickly tl
young gentlemen fell iuto couverautk
with their seniors. Ono of these exb
bited a special interest in the yont
men, and propounded a great mat
questions in relation to their ?tudie
and by his kind and captivating mau ni
inducod tho youngsters to avery free at
frank utterance of their views on all su
jects. Among these, of course, politi
and the characters of tho eminent mi
in public lifo wero discussed with th
freedom and frankness of youug st
dents.
Now, it happoucd that ono of tho mc
talkative and brightest of tho youl
was tho son of a father who was a vi
lent Whig. The son faithfully reflect!
tho father's views and prejudices, and
his answers to tho elderly geutlemn
who had taken .so great au interest
tho stndcDts, remarked that tho pre\
lent political sentimental the Univeisi
was that John C. Calhoun, of Soul h I
roliua, was tho greatest traitor and mt
dishonest politician that had ever d
graced our political history. To tl
very emphatic remark of the fiery you
Whig, tho elderly gentleman demurr
iu a very kind aud suave tnauuer, a
invited "tho young assailant of the gn
South Carolinian to un expression of t
, reasons for his belief in the uupnrallol
wickedness of that statesman; tho t
wero soon engaged in a very animal
j argument, to which Hie other passetig
! all listened with great interest. '1
young man was very bright, iugeuit
1 and fertile, and tho elderly gentium
j was evidently a most Accomplished lo
ciati, and of most winning manners, t
ciliated to inako a very deep impress:
upon youthful minds. Never, perlin
was tho course of Mr. Calhoun so elli
! ively aud luminously explained and
fonded as in this familiar discussion w
tho youug student, which lasted tn
tho stages arrived ut the railroad stat
at Louisa. Then ouo of tho compunii
of tho elderly gentleman, who had mn
fui nuil a studious silence during
whole conversation, descending fr
tho stage, remarked, "Don't tron
yourself, Mr, Calhoun, I will look al
your baggage." "Thunk you, tienen
Alas! uur young .student heard
