Poor clothes cannot make
you look old. Even pale
cheeks won’t do it.
Your household cares may
be heavy and disappoint
ments may te deep, but
they cannot make you look
old.
One thing docs it and
never fails.
It is impossible to look
young with the color of
seventy years in your hair.
<s»
permanently postpones the
telMale signs cf age. Used
according to directions it
gradually brings back the
color of youth. At fifty your
hair may look as it did at
fifteen. It thickens the hair
also; stops it from falling
out; and cleanses the scalp
from dandruff. Shall we

Divorce Lima In the Vurloun States
SuKaeateU.
[Copyright, Touts Klopscli.'1M9.1
Wasiunqton, Sept. 17. Dr. Tnlmag*
lu this discourse discusses a Question
of uational Importance, which is con
fessedly us ditllcult ns it is urgent. The
text is Matthew xix. l», “What there-
fore tJod hath Joined together let not
man put nsi'mder.”
That there are hundreds and thou
sands of infelicitous homes in America
no one will doubt. If there were only
one skeleton in the closet, that might
be locked up and abandoned, but in
many a home there is a skeleton in the
hallway and a skeleton in all the apart
ments. “Unhappily married” are two
words descriptive of many a home
stead. It needs no orthodox minister to
prove to a badly mated pair that there
is a hell. They are there now. Some
times a grand and gracious woman will
be thus Incarcerated, and her life will
be a crucifixion, as was the case with
Mrs. Sigourney, the great poetess and
the great soul. Sometimes a consecrat
ed man will be united to a fury, as was
John Wesley, or united to a vixen, as
was John .Milton. Sometimes and gen
erally both parties are to blame, and
Thomas Carlyle is an intolerable grum
bler, and bis wife has a pungent retort
always ready, and Fronde, the histo
rian. pledged to tell the plain truth,
lias to pull aside the curtain from the
lifelong squabble at Craigenputtoek
and 5 Cheyne row.
Dii-neNfic Disorder!!.
Some say that for the alleviation of
all these domestic disorders of which
we hear easy divorce is a good pre
scription. (»od sometimes authorizes
divorce as certainly as he authorizes
marriage. 1 have just as much regard
for one lawfully divorced as 1 have for
one lawfully married. But you know
and 1 know that wholesale divorce is
use of our national scourges. 1 am not
surprised at this when I think of the
inllueuceswhich have been abroad mili
tating against the marriage relation.
For many years the platforms of the
country rang with talk about a free
love millennium. There were meetings
of t!ds kind held in the Academy of
Music, Brooklyn; 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. Popu
lar themes for such tiecasions were
the tyranny of man, the oppression of
the marriage relation, women’s rights
and the allinities. Prominent speakers
were women with short curls and short
dress and very long tongue, everlast
ingly at war with tiod because they
were created women, while on the plat
form sat meek men with soft accent
and cowed demeanor, apologetic for
masculinity and holding the parasols
while the termagant orators went on
preaching the gospel of free love. That
campaign of about L’o years set more
devils into the marriage relation than
will be exorcised in the next ho. 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 the perplex
ity, and the criminal and the civil
courts tried to disentangle the Iliad of
woes, and the one got alimony, and
that one got a limited divorce, and this
mother kept the children on condition
that the father could sometimes come
and look at them, and these went into
poorhottses, and those went into an
Insane asylum, and those went into dis
solute public life, and all went to de
struction. The mightiest war ever
made against the marriage institution
was that free love campaign, some
times under one name and sometimes
under another.
SiipprcNn PoI>KHiny.
Another influence that has warred
upon the marriage relation has been
polygamy lu Utah. That is a stereotyp
ed caricature of the marriage relation
and has poisoned the whole land. You
might as well think that you can have
u» arm in a state of mortification and
yet thu whole body not be sickened as
to have any territories or states polyg-
amized and yet the body of the nation
not feel the putrefaction. Hear jt,
good men and women of America, that
so long ago us J.Sfi’J a law was passed
by congress forbidding polygamy in tho
territories and in all the places where
they had Jurisdiction. Thirty-seven
years have passed along and nine ad
ministrations, yet not until the passage
of the Edmunds law in 1SJS1! was any
active policy of polygamic suppression
adopted. Armed with all the power of
government and |n*ing an army at
their disposal, the first brick had not
till then been knocked from that for
tress of libertinism. Every new presi
dent in his inaugural tickled that mon
ster with the straw of condemnation,
and every congress stultified itself In
proposing some plan that would not
work. Polygamy stood in Utah, and in
other of the territories more Intrench
ed, more brazen, more puissant, more
braggart and more internal than at any
time in its history. James Buchanan,
a much abused man of his day, did
more for the extirpation of this vil
lainy itiuu all tin* subsequent adminis
trations dared to do up to 18.SJ. Mr.
Buchanan sent out an army, and, ql*
though it was halted lu its work, still
he accomplished more than the subse
quent administrations, which did
nothing but talk, talk, talk. Even at
this late day and with the Edmunds
n< t In fofte the evil lias not been
wholly extirpated. Polygamy in Utah,
though outlawed, is still practiced in
secret. It 1ms warred against the mar
riage relation throughout the land. It
is impossible to have such an awful
sewer of iniquity sending up its mias
ma, which Is wafted by the winds
north, south, east and west, without
the whole land l*cing affected by it.
Jlltorne Kiin)-.
Another influence flint has warred
against the marriage relation in this
country lias bien a pustulous litera
ture, with its millions of sheets every
week choked with stories of domestic
wtupgs and Infidelities and massacres
and outnifee* until it is a wonder to me
that there are any den ••‘ucies or any
common sense left on the subject <)f
marriage. One-lialf of the newsstands
of our great cities reek with the filth.
“Now,’’ say some, “we admit all
these evils, and the only way to clear
them out or to correct 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 (lie states, and I find tiiat, while
in some states it is easier than in oth
ers, iu every state it is easy. The state
of Illinois, through its legislature, re
cites a long list of proper causes for
divorce and then wloses up by giving
to the courts the right to make a de
cree of divorce in any cusu where they
deem it expedient. After that you are
not surprised at the announcement
that in one year there were 8JJ di
vorces. If you want to know how easy
it is, you have only to look over the
Words of the states- in Massachu
setts, 000 divorces iu one year; iu
Maine, -ITS in one year; iu Connecticut,
To 1 divorces iu one year; In the city of
San Francisco,HJ3 divorces in one year;
in New England in one year, J.llfi di
vorces, ami in JO years in New Eng-
gland, 20,000. Is that not easy enough?
If the same ratio continues, the ratio of
multiplied divorce and multiplied
causes of divorce, we are not far from
the time when our courts will have to
si t apart whole days for application,
and all you will have to p r ove against
a man will lie that he left his slippers
in tlie middle of tlio Hour, and all you
will have to prove against a woman
will in* that her husband’s overcoat
was hnttonlcss. Causes of divorce
doubled iu a few' years—doubled in
France, doubled iu England and dou
bled in the United States. To show
how very easy it is, 1 have to tell you
that in Western Reserve, Ohio, the pro
portion of divorces to marriages cele
brated was iu one year 1 to 11; In
Rhode Island, 1 to J; in Vermont, 1 to
14. Is not that easy enough?
Society DlHNoIutc.
I want you to notice that frequency
of divorce always goes along with the
dissoluteness of society. Rome for ">00
years had not one case 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. Do you know
how the reign of terror was introduced
in France? By 2<J,(X)0 eases of divorce
in one year in Paris. What we want in
this country and In all lands is that
divorce be made more and more dilli-
eult. Then people before they enter
that relation will be persuaded that
there will probably be no escape from
it except through the door of the sepul
cher, then they will pause on the verge
of that relation until they are fully sat
isfied that it is best and that It is right
and that it is happiest, then we shall
have no more marriages iu fun, then
men and women will not enter tke rela
tion with the idea it is only a trial trip
and if they do not like it they can get
out at tlie first landing, then tills wholo
question will be taken out of the frivo
lous into the tremendous, and there
will lie no more joking about the blos
soms in a bride's hair than about the
cypress on a eollln.
What we want is that the congress
of the United States move for the
changing of the national constitution
so that a law c:tu lie passed which shull
be uniform all over the country and
w lint shall lie rigid in one state shall he
right iu all tlie states and whut is
wrong In ono state will lie wrong in all
the states, flow is it now? If a party
lu tlie marriage relation gets dissatis
fied, it is only necessary to move to an
other state to achieve lilierutlou from
the domestic tie, and divorce is effected
so easily that tlie first ono party knows
of it is by seeing it iu tho newspaper
that Rev. Dr. Somebody a few days or
weeks afterward Introduced Into a
new marriage relation a member of the
household who went off on a pleasure
excursion to Newport or a business ex
cursion to Uhicago. Married at the
bride’s house; no cards. There are
states of the Union which practleahy
put a premium upon tlio disintegration
of the marriage relation, while theru
are other states, like the state of New
York, which has the pre-eminent idiocy
of making marriage lawful at Ik and
14 years of age.
Chanae the Constitution.
The congress of the United States
needs to move for a change of the na
tional constitution and then to uppoiiR
a committee—not made up of single
gentlemen, but of men of families,
and their families in Washington—who
shall prepare a good, honest, righteous,
comprehensive uniform law that will
control everything from Sandy Hook
to the Golden Gate. That will put an
end to brokerages in pm.Yiage. That
will send divorce lawyers Into a decent
business. That will set people agitat
ed for many years on the question of
how they shull get away from each
other to planning how they can adjust
themselves to the more or less unfavor
able eireumsta'jbes.
More difficult divorce will put an es-
toppal to a great extent upon marriage
as a financial speculation. There are
pien who go into the relation Just as
they go into WaJJ street to purchase
shares. Tlie female to be invited Into
the partnership of wedlock is utterly
unattractive and in disposition a sup
pressed Vesuvius. Everybody knows
it, but tills masculine candidate for
matrimonial orders, through the com
mercial 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 be
fore the old man will die and whether
he can stand the refractory temper un
til he does die, and then he enters the
fetation, for he says, “If I cannot
Maud R, liiep through the divorce law
1 will buck out,” That process Is going
on all tho time, and men enter lute the
relation without any moral principle,
without any affection, and it is as
much a matter of stock speculation as
anything that was transacted yester
day In Union Pacific, Wabash and
Delaware and Lackauanna. Now, sup
pose u man understood, as lie ought to
ul lerstund, that If he goes into that
relation there is no possibility of ids
getting out or no probability. lie would
);e more slow to put his nis'k lu the
yoke. He should say to himself, “Rath
er than a Caribbean whirlwind with g
whole fleet of shipping iu its arms,
give pie a zephyr off fields of sunshine
and gardens of iieaco."
Itiaoroas Mtws,
Rigorous divorce law will also hinder
women from the fntal mistake of mar
rying men to reform them. If a young
man, by 25 years of age or HO years of
age, have tlie habit of strong drink
fixed on him, |ip is as certainly bound
for a drunkard’s grave Ouu a traiL
starting out from the Grand Centra!
depot at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning
Is bound for Albany. The train may
not reach Albany, for it may lie thrown
from the track. The young man may
not reach a drunkard's grave, for
something may throw him off tlie Iron
track of evil habit. But the proba
bility Is that tlie train that starts to
morrow morning at 8 o’clock for Al
bany will get there, and the proba
bility is that tlie young man who has
the habit of strong drink fixed on 1dm
before 25 or 30 years cf ago wiM ar
rive at a drunkard’s grave. Site knows
he drinks, although in* tries to hide !t
by chewing cloves. Every body knows
lie drinks. Parents warn; neighbors
and friends warn. She will marry 1dm;
she will reform him. If she Is unsuc
cessful in the experiment, why, then,
the divorce law will emancipate her,
because habitual drunkenness Is a
cause for divorce In Indiana, Ken
tucky, Florida, Connecticut and nearly
all the states. So tlie poor thing goes
to the altar of sacrifice. If you will
show me the poverty struck streets in
any city, I will show you the homos
of the women who married men to're
form them. In one ease out of ten
thousand it may be a successful experi
ment. 1 never saw the successful ex
periment. But have a rigorous divorce
law, and that woman will say, “If I
am affianced to that man, it Is for life,
and If now, in the ardor of Ids young
love and 1 the prize to be won, lie will
not give uii hl- s cups, when lie lins won
tho prize surely he will not give up Ids
cups.” And so that woman will say to
the niau: “No, sir; you are already
married to the club, and you are mar
ried to that evil habit, and so you are
married twice, and you are a bigamist.
Go!”
Hunt}’ MarriagcM.
A rigorous divorce law will also do
much to hinder hasty and Inconsid
erate marriages. Under the impres
sion that one can be easily released
people enter the relation without in
quiry and without reflection. Romance
an* impulse rule the day. Perhaps the
only ground for the marriage compact
is that she likes ids looks, and he ad
mires tlie graceful way she passes
around the lee cream at the picnic! It
is all they know about each other. It
is all the preparation for life. A man
not ablo to pay his own board bill,
with not a dollar in ids possession,
will stand at the altar and take the
loving hand and say, “With all my
worldly goods I thee endow." A wo
man that could not make a loaf of
bread to save her life will swear to
love and keep him in sickness and iu
health. A Christian will marry an
atheist, and that always makes con
joined wretchedness, for if a man does
not believe there is a God he is neither
to lie trusted with a dollar nor with
your lifelong happiness. Having read
much about love in a cottage, people
brought up in ease will go and slap •
In a hovel. Runaway matches and
elopements, nine hundred and uinety-
idne out of a thousand of which mean
death and hell, multiplying on all
hands. You see them iu every day’s
newspapers.
Our ministers lu some regions have
no defense such us they have iu other
regions where the banns must he pre
viously published and an officer of tlie
law must give a certificate that all is
right, so clergymen are left defense
less and unite those who ought never
to be united. Perhaps they are too
young, or perhaps they are standing
already lu some domestic compact. By
the wreck of ten thousand homes, by
the holocaust of teig thousand sacri
ficed men and women, by the hearth
stone of the family, which is the cor
nerstone of the state, ami In the name
of that God who hath set up tlie fam
ily institution and who hath made the
breaking of the marital oath the most
appalling of all perjuries, I implore tlie
congress of tue United States to make
Some righteous, uniform law for all
the states and from ocean to ocean on
this subject of marriage and divorce.
Warning to the Young.
Let me say to all young people, be
fore you givo your heart and hand In
holy alliance, use all caution. Inquire
outside as to habits, explore the dispo
sition, scrutinize tlie taste, question
the ancestry and find out the ambi
tions. Do not take tlie heroes and
the heroines of cheap novels for a mod
el. Do not put your lifetime happi
ness in the keeping of a man who lias
a reputation of being a little loose lu
morals or lu tlie keeping of a woman
who dresses immodestly. Remember
that, while good looks are a kindly
gift of God, wrl* les or accident may
despoil them. Ry oember that Byron
was no more celeh *ted for his beauty
|liuu for his depravity. Jtenjember
Hint Absalom's hair was not more
ipiendld than his habits were despica
ble. Hear it! Hear It! The only fotm-
ilation for happy marriage that ever
lias lieen or ever will be is good char
acter.
Ask tb» counsel of father and moth
er in this most Important step of your
life. They are good advisers. They
are the best friends you ever had.
They made more sacrifices for you
t)|an aqy plje else ever did, and they
tyRl do more today fur your happi
ness than any other people. Ask them,
and, above all, ask God. I used to
smile at John Brown of Haddington
because, when he was about to offer
his hand and heart in marriage to one
who became his lifelong companion,
he opened tlie conversation by saying,
•Ta*t us pray.” But 1 have seen so
many shipwrecks on the sea of mat
rimony 1 have made up my mind that
John Brow n of Haddington was right.
A union formed iu prayer will be a
happy union, though sickness pale the
check and poverty gmpty flje bread
tray and death open the small graves
and nil tlie patq^of life he strewn with
thorns, from the marriage altar, with
its w'cddlng march and orange blos
soms, clear on down to the last fare
well at that gate where Isaac and Re
becca, Abraham and Earah, Adam and
Eve, parted. And let me say to you
who are iu this relation. If you make
one man or woman happy you have not
lived lu vain. Christ says that whut
he Is to the church you ought to be to
each other, and If sometimes, through
difference of opinion or difference of
disposition, you make up your iiitud
that your marriage wqs a mistake pa
tiently bear and forlaair, remembering
{hut there is a glory in thu patient cn-
duranco of a sal /oka. Life at the
loiigt-Ht is short, and for thosu who
have beau badly mated iu this world
death will give quick and final hill of
divorcement written in letters of green
grass on quk-l j.raves. And perhaps,
W/ brother, UJJ slstp/, perbapp /qq
may appreciate each other better iq
heaven than you have appreciated uaeii 1
other on earth.
A Dlvlnr Institution.
In tlio “Farm Ballads” our Ameri
can iloot puts Into the lips of a re- j
peiitiint husband, after a life of mar- j
rled perturbation, these suggestive ;
words:
Anti when the dK-s I wish that she would be laid
by me,
And, lyin- together in silence, perhaps we will j
aerte, v
And if eves We meet in heaven I would uot think
it queer
If we 1- ve each other better because we quarreled ’
here.
And let me say to those of you who
are in happy married union, avoid first
quarrels; have no unexplained corre-
spondeuce with former admirers; cul
tivate no suspicions; in a moment of
bail temper do uot rush out and tell
the neighbors; do not let any of those
gadabouts of society unload iu your
house their baggage of gab and tittle
tattle; do not make it an invariable
rule to stand bn your rights; learn how
to apologize; do not be so proud or so
stubborn or so devilish that you will
uot make up. Remember that the
worst domestic misfortunes and most
scandalous divorce eases started from
little infelicites. The whole piled up
train of ten rail cars telescoped and
smashed at the foot of an embank
ment 100 feet down came to that ca
tastrophe by getting two or three inch
es off the track. Some of the greatest
domestic misfortunes and the widest
resounding divorce eases have started
from little misunderstandings that
were allowed to go on and go on until
home and respectability and religion
and Immortal soul went down in the
crash.
Fellow citizens as well as fellow
Christians, let us have a divine rage
against anything that wars on the mar
riage state. Blessed institution! In
stead of two arms to fight the battle
of life, four; instead of two eyes to
scrutinize the path of life, four; iu-
stvau of two shoulders to lift the bur
den of life, four; twice the energy,
twice the courage, twice the holy am
bition, twice the probability of world
ly success, twice the prospects of
heaven. Into that matrimonial bower
God fetches two souls. Outside the
bower, room for all content ions, and
all bickerings, and all controversies,
but inside that bower there is room for
only one guest—the angel of love. Let
that angel stand at the floral doorway
of this Bdenic bower with drawn
sword to hew down the worst foe of
that bower—easy divorce. And for ev
ery paradise lost may there be a para
dise regained. And after we quit our
home here may we have a brighter
home iu heaven, at the windows of
which, this moment, are familiar faces
watching for our arrival and wonder
ing why so long we tarry.

Many housekeepers think there is
nothing to learn about the care of
lamps, but if the little details here
mentioned are adhered to, there will
be a great difference in the light.
First, a lamp must be cleaned and
fiiled every morning; the burners
should be cleaned once a week, and
the best way is to boil them in water
in which Gold Dust Washing Powder
has been added. Put a teaspoonful
into a quart of water, and boil ten
minutes. The Hues should be put in
a pan of cold water, and heated slowly
until they boil, then take off and let
ihem cool gradually—this toughens
tho glass.
