FOR THE TIMES.

By Editor

A LAWYER in New York has been getting up a new form for marriage ceremonies. The gist of it is the following:—
“Do you take this woman to be your wife—until you are divorced?”
“Do you take this man to be your husband—until you change your mind?”
“Then, they whom I unite let some Court put asunder.”
Marriage, under our divorce laws, is becoming a farce. While the Catholics regard it as a church sacrament, which it is not, the Protestants are fast going to the opposite extreme, and countenance customs which degrade the institution, and are fast undermining the foundations of society.
