«annot bo severed except by death, while Pro testant people regard marriage as a civil con ,.tract... : .~ . r _- " " Bnt my Catholic-friends, while you believe that there is no dissolution of marriage, except v,v death wiU you trust yourselves in marriage those who have such loose ideas. Ido not wuA: tai the way of Warning them, but I put matters before you as they stand. While non rktholicshold such looseideas^about marriage, ttSnWns: they can get married, and then sever the bond of marriage, and sret married to a Second and third during the life-time of the ifher consort! or consorts, will you trust your selves in marriage with them ? May you not be aeceiT a Faithless protest ant. T was eiving amissionSin Wisconsin, at a place caff Southampton. There was no priest Hying in the place; one day a laly came to visit JheWuroh. She was married to a non-Catholic. Two wicks afterwards he saw a non-Catholic wi The? fanra and went and married her, ffing th? Catholic^ lady out in the cold. She never could marry again. Not only are you in dnnler o£ being ruined during you future days fn t&fe, but you expose your souls to very danger. Let us take a moat lenient case. lie man Is *ot a reJ GdiC(?d m^ Ihe I s Tr hnS hTeive you full freedom in religion, to let you sa^your prayers, to ko to Church on Sundays and holidays of obligation, to let you go to con feasion. Let, us suppose he is liberal man Wee that but Bee the danger you are exposed to. Perhaps he has no faith in God, performs no religious exercises, goes to no Church; he only flrtprids to his worldly business. He throws notMnl in Jyour way; but see the influences he tt£>w™ in y"ou? way. Evil communications oorraptthebest. a"d he that loves danger will perish init. Hois not a believer; he is a dras: chain on the piety of his wife. By. his com munioations, cold heartedness. and irreligious Suet, his w°fe is drawn little by little into luke-warmness and negligence. But it is not ahvly^ that a non-Catholic husband is so liberal as this. Too frequently, men who wish to take the hand oC Catholic ladies in marriage, will go to Church once or twice, and may say, perhaps, the" will become Catholics later on. They make promises; they will even sign written docu ments in which they promise their non-Catholic wives that they shall have Ml liberty m religion, and that if there be any children, they shall be educated as Catholics. How often are these P™™^NOTHER I will give you one instance. I do not intend to make matters worse than they are, because I could give you cases ten times worse. 1 «a.ye met with many hundreds of cases in which Catholic ladies have been led asti ay aUogetber, led into infldility. led into disgrace. \ou see the danger to which Catholics are exposed who engage in marriage with those who are not Catholics. A certain rich man obtained tuc hand of a Catholic lady, and subscribed to such a document as I have mentioned, but after the marriage he asked his young Catholic wife "Where is that document that the priest made me subscribe to before we go f. married ?" She, not suspecting what his real intentions were, went for the document, and handed it to him, aud as soon as he got possession of it be tore it np, and threw it into the fire. He said " I ceror meanc •it. I promised it in order to g<?t you for my wife, but I will never keep it." See how that poor lady wa? deceived ! See what a source or mercy that would be in after life. *fewa|AND YET ANOTHER. In another case at Lima a young lady came to me when I was giving a mission. She said, " I have promised to engage in marriage with a non-Catholic, but the priest is opposed 10 the marriage." I inquired .what her reasons were, and they were not sound. I 1 arned that the man shedesired to marry was a ureas bigot, He heartily hated the Catholic • huroh. for that reason I dissuaded her from marrying him, and she gave up the engagement. I went away. But I learned three months later that sue had been married to him. That man had promised to give her freedon of religion. The lady fell into her last sickness three months afcer mar riage, and when on her death-bed she begged her husband to senator the priest. "No," lie said. "a priest shall never darken my door", and tbe poor child died without the rites of her Church ; without the Sacraments, ''heir religion is to Catholics the dearest thing in the world. If. any man disappoints them in reference to religion, depend upon it that w ill be a source of misery for years after. So you see there is danger of. being deceived by engaging in marriage with non-Catholics.

SOME GOOD PROTESTANTS. X have no doubt there are some here who are married to non-Catholic?, and whose husbands allow them freedom of religion, send their child'en to Catholic schools, and faithfully fulfil what they promised to their wives. Well, God reward them for it ! They are exceptions to the rule. But the real fact is that nine-tenths of those non-Catholics who are engaged in marriage with Catholics make them very unhappy, and worst of all, in matters ot religion. The greatest difficulty is that these mothers have the greatest possible trouble in bring up their children according to their conscience. When the children are old enough to be baptised, what will the Catholic mother do whose husband, who is not a Catholic, opposes it? if the father will not allow the children to be hrousrht up as Catholics, snd forbids their learning the catechism ? KATiNG MffiATOOrN r FRIDAY.

A Catholic mother would have her children refrain from ea>insr meat, and, perhaps, the father puts meat, on the plate before them, and will have th^m eat it. A Catholic lady told me, "My husband promised me every thing when I engaged in marriage, but he has done everything to turn me from the Catholic faith. On Fridays he en<leavonred to make me eat meat, and when I would not do ie he would take hold of it, and try to punch it into my mouth." (Laughter.) If the father pulls one way and the mother the other, what must be the result ? Very often the children are not brought up as Catholics. I would not &o much oppose these marriages in America, because a great many fathers there have no religion, and would not care a straw for any religion. They would not object to the wife and children being Catholic?. But it is different in this couutry. Many fathers will have their children brought up as they are, although the mothers are Catholic?, and desire to have them brought up as Catholics. But the fathers think they have as much right to the children as the mothers. Ido not, blame them. Perhaps they are conscientious about it too. But I blame Catholics who know they are bound to bring up their children as Catholic?, and yet expose themselves in man-inae to such dangers, A DESPERATE PRO TKSTANT. In Canterbury the>e was a lady before the church-door, a Catholic mavried to a non- CathoJic. Her husband han forbidden her to come across the street into the church, and said, " If yon enter that church I will blow your brains out (sensation): aud if I eve" see a priest speaking to you I will blow his brain 3 out too.' After some farther remarks, the rev. father concluded by saying : " That is the substance Of what I huve to say on marriage, and it is very different from what has been said about me in many of the newspapers in New Zealand." . An address to married men was given at a subsequent stage of the evening.

EX-PRIEST CHINIQUY. At the marquee last evening tho Rev Father Henneberry referred to a letter which appeared in the Stah of last evening stating that ex priest Chiniquy was well received by the Pres byterians of Canada. Father Henneberry re farrred to the ex-priest as "Mr" Chiniquy.- He said Canada may have within the last few years taken up Chiuiqny. but he:(Father Henneberry) had not spoken in reference to Canada in particular in his remarks on Chiniquy. He th6n repeated in substance the accusations against the ex-priest which w-*ra published in full in last night's Star. Father Henaeberry siad in con clusion:—"As to the rest I confess before you all that I have not the least sentiment of dislike or hatred against Mr Chioiquy. He has a soul to save. I advise you all to pray for him. This very night I will include in the evening prayers some prayers for the salvation of poor Chiniquy."

HENNEBERRY V. CHINIQUY.

To the Editor : Sir,—l felt very " sorry Indeed when I read the remarks of Father Henneberry in your last night's paper in reference to Mr Chiniquy, as they are untrue. I have known him many years, and when a boy served his Mass, and those who know him most know also that he is incapable of acting in the manner stated^ Moreover, he has borne the persecution 01 his enemies in a proper spirit, which has been the cause, among other things, of so many leaving the church. He has been and is highly respected by all intelligent Catholics and Protestants alike. I don't like to see a man attacked when he is not able to defend himself.—Yours, &c, L. FOUKNIER.

THEATRE ROYAL.

"LEAH, THE FORSAKEN."

" Leah, the Forsaken," was the drama of last night at the Theatre Royal, the prin cipal characters of Leah, Rudolf, and Anna respectively represented by Mrs Darrell, Mr Darrell, and Mrs Walter Hill. .The perfor mance throughout was realistic and pic turesque, bringing out the full meaning of the play in all its intensity of passion and poetry. To-night Mill be a night of special attractions, and for the benefit of " MR AND MRS DARRELL, for which occasion a varied and capital bill has been prepared, including the " Trump Card," " Pink. Dominoes," and Jerrold rs touching drama 'of "Black-eyed Susan," which was performed on its first appearance at the Surrey, Blackfriars Road, London, for over a hundred nights. Considering the eminent talents of the leading artistes and members of the company, and their laudable endeavours to elevate the taste of the masses to a recognition of the true and beautiful in character and art, the Theatre to-night should be crowded.
