A well-known New York woman, di vorced from her husband In South Dakota seven months ago, has just married again In Indiana. Her former husband married. Immedi ately after tho divorce was granted, a woman whom ha had "learned to love" during his wife's temporary absence from home, and who was divorced in order to marry him. Likewise the man whom the first wife has just married out West was divorced from his wife, by whom he had three children, that he might marry his new "affinity." To add to the complications of these triple divorces and remarriages, they would not bo legal it contracted in tho' state where the parties originally lived. It only remains for the one deserted and unconsoled husband in this state to marry the abandoned wife out West to complete the sorio-comie complexities and compensations of this medley of mar riage and divorce up to date. Will any of these wealthy and highly respectable persons be ostracized by so cietythe remedy suggested by a worthy bishop for the divorce evil? Precedent does not seem to threaten IL Will this playing fast and loose with sacraments and contracts and domestic ties hasten the passage of a Constitutional amend ment authorizing a National divorce law? It ought to. r The Angel's Message. (To Mrs. E. T. Weatherrcd.) Over the plains from the Western land. From the realms of sunact light, Where the rivers ripple o'er golden sand. And eternal mountains majestic stand. Bhelterlns earth with protecting hand. As the New World sheltered the Pilgrim band. An Angel of Mercy took flight. An Angel of Mercy took flight one day To a crowded Eastern town. Where many were graie, and few were gay, "Where all was wbrk and nothing was play. Where the tollers worked for a meager pay Till the heart rebelled and the brain gave way Under the masters" frown. Tho Angel of Mercy a message bore A message of loe and peace; "From out the wide West's boundless storo. "Where tho wavelet breaks on Pacific's shore, The stranger Is welcomed within the door. And we've work and wages for many more; So bid your sorrows cease." And tho Angel's message a lesson taught, A lesson within mortal ken. It gave the knowledge so vainly sought; It told hew a miracle roi.y be wrought Through words with loving kindness fraught How hope and comfort may be brought Into the hearts ol men.
