She was inex orable, and her determination unaltera ble. All hope of reconciliation vanish ed, and in about four days after the mar riage they separated forever. There was no alternative. What other course could have been pursued? In the language of the petitioner himself: "Manhood, hon or, self-respect, forbade that he should drag her from her father's house a reluc tant and loathing bride. In company she treated him with disrespect and shunned his conversation. Every expe dient that the fondest afFection could de vise had been tried in vain, and your pe titioner adopted the only course which a man of honor could adopt: lie relinquish ed her forever." This, Mr. Speaker, is not the hind of case contemplated by our act of Assem bly empowering oar Courts to decree di vorces. There has been no "malicious desertion and absence by either from the habitation of the other for two years, be cnuse l hoy had not acquired a habitation. There had been no "turning out of doors," nor "indignities and barbarous treatment, endangering life," although in tin; langiiane of the act, "life had truly become burthnnsome, and their condi tii n intolerable." They had never lived together as man and wife, and fortunate ly here are not, as in ordinary cases of divorce, a family of children left to mourn over the frailties and misfortunes of their paren:s. Tlnre was no co-habitation no cousumm ilion of the marriage, which a spiritual court would at once absolve. i ne case, therefore, is a peculiar one, and one 'requiring the interposition of tin Legislature. All parties join in the prayer that a divorce may be decreed all join in imploring the Legislature to pluck this Ming from the .bosom of this ill-fated couple, and to save, if possible, the gray hairs of heir parents from going down sorrowing to ihe grave. The bill passeil unanimously. Divorce. We copy the following pas sages from the remarks of Mr. Packer, recently made in flic Senate of Pennsyl vania, on the bill to divorce from the bonds of matrimony, Thomas Hayes uffll Caroline his wife: The parents of the parties have long resided in the same town, and have al ways lived upon habits of intimacy and friendship. They arc respected by the whole community in which they reside, and by honest industry and propriety have attained to affluence and wealth. Their children sprang up around them, and I they seemed to inherit the virtues of their parents, and by their exnmnl.-irv good conduct had gained the affections of the circle in which they moved. Thom as and Caroline were intimate from their childhood they were mates of the same school, and as I hey grew in years, thev seemed destined to unite their fortune and their lives. The wedding (fay was set and their parents consenting to the union, which was considered in all re jspects a suitable one, looked with plea sing anticipations to the future happiness of their children. All was gaiety, har mony, conviviality, and virtuous mirth. The ceremony was performed, and for a time this scene of joy and good cheer con tinued. But, it continued for a time on ly not a day nay,' not an hour! The scene was changed, and the bride who before appeared in all her loveliness, and was the "observed of all observers," was now silent, sallen and sad. There was "something in her soul o'er which her melancholy sat on brood." It Was dis covered, but too late, that while her hand had been tendered in marriage to one lier heart and her affections belonged tn another! b All the prospects of future happiness- Lost child.

Persons can live as usual; can eat and drink what tastes hot. r. derately, therefore it will be more of a pleasure than a tasic to use the remedy. For Five Dollars a sufficiency is sent for two persons, per mail free of postage, and is so sent on, from time to time, if necessary, until a cure is performed without any additional charge. The five dollars are merely considered as a friendly reward for the Doctor's time and men tal labor that he devotes to his applicants; and out of which the postage of all letters are al?o paid. No charge is made for the cure. No; tvhea people get their hearing again it can't be paid with money.

I send a bank note, and wish you would do as well to me as you have done to others. Do, try your best, and make me hear again as I and all our neighbors have such great faith in what we've heard and seen. Your friend and well wisher, AH. TISSAXY. To Doctor Green, Heading, Pa. N. B.
