THE RELIGION WANTED IN COM MON LIFE.

A DIVORCE WITH A TERRIBLE ORIGIN.

—o— We want a religion that goes into tho family, and keeps the husband from being angry when tho dinner is late) and keeps the wife from fretting when the husband tracks the newly-washed floor with his muddy hoots, and makes tho husband mindful of tho door-sornpor and tho doormat ; keeps the mother patient when tho baby is cross, and keeps the baby pleasant; amuses the children ns well as instructs them ; wins as well as governs, projects the honey-moon into tho harvest-moon, bontiug in its bosom at once the beauty of the tender blossom and the glory of the ripened fruit. We want a religion that bears heavily not only on the “ exceeding sinfulness of sin,” but on the exceeding wickedness of lying and stealing ; a religion that banishes small measures from the counters, small baskets from tho stalls, pebbles from tho cotton-bags, clay from tho paper, sand from sugars, chicory from coffee, lard from butter, beet-juice and oil of vitrol from vinegar, alum from bread, strychnine and lead from wine, and water from milk-cans. Tho religion that is to save tho world will not put all the big strawberries at tho top, and all the bad ones at tho bottom ; it will not make one halt of a pair of shoes of good leather, and the other of bad leather, so that the first shall redound to tho maker’s credit, and the second to his cash; it will riot put Jouvin’s stamp on Jenkin’s kid gloves, nor make Paris bonnets in the back-room of a London milliner’s shop ; nor let apiece of velvet that professes to measuretwelve yards come to an untimely end in the tenth ; or a reel of sewing silk that vouches for twenty yards be nipped in the bud at fourteen and a half; or the cotton thread reel break to tho yard-stich fifty of the two hundred yards of promise that was given to the eye ; or yard wide cloth measure less than tbirfy-six inches fromselvege to selvege ; or all-wool delaines and all-linen handkerchiefs be .amalgamated with clandestine cotton ; or coats made of old rags pressed together be sold to the unsuspecting public for legal broadcloth It does not put bricks at thirty shillings per thousand into chimneys it contracts to build of forty-shilling materials; nor smuggle white pine into floors that have paid for hard pine; nor leave yawning cracks in closets where boards ought to join ; nor daub the ceilings that ought to be smoothly plastered ; nor make window blinds with slots that cannot stand the wind, and paint that cannot stand the sun, and fastenings that may be looked at, but are not to be touched. The religion that is going to sanctify the world pays its debts. It does not consider that forty pence returned for a hundred pence given is according to the gospel, though it may be according to law. It looks on a man who has failed in trade, and who continues to live in luxury, as a thief.—American paper.

Holloway's Pills.— Disorders of the kidneys, known by the deeply-seated pain in the hack and scanty secretion of water, can be arrested in their distressing and rapid course by these regulating Pills. Their highly tonio and strengthening properties prevent the impoverishment of the blood and the derangement of circulation, characteristic of kidney disease, and often ending in partial or general dropsy. Experience has proved the almost unvaried success obtained when Holloway’s Pills arc taken in the earlier stages, and the ease they afford when the complaint is mo™ advanced. They relax the hot parched skin, overcome the attendant costiveness, induce a copious secretion by the kidneys, and are the harbingers of the disease departing, and health returning.

A New York letter to the Baltimore News says There is in this city, however, one most amusing low comedian, who has a reason for never smilin'?. In his youth he was the father of a little girl of a refractory obstinate disposition. One day to punish her for a fault, he locked her in the bedt:pm, and with his wife went down to dinner. Soon the child began ; to scream in a terrible manner, which the parents considered as only temper ; but, as the shrieks continued, the wife became alarmed and desired to go to her. He, however, forbade her doing so, as he said the child must be taught obedience, and that the child should not gain her end by screaming. They went on with their dinner, the fearful shrieks continuing for a while and then ceasing. As they were about leaving the table, smoke began to pass through the house. There was fire somewhere. Rushing to release the poor girl they found her dead. Her clothes had evidently caught fire from the grate, and while the parents were eating the child was dying. The commedians wife took a horror and ahatred of her husband after this, as she believed that if ho had allowed her to go to the poor infant she might have saved her life. They were divorced ; no wonder that man never smiles on or off the stage.
