THE 2D BAP- TIST LITERARY HIGHLY ENTER- TAINED. YOUNG LADIES COME OUT IN THEIR BEST ATTIRE. Laet Thursday evening the 2d Baptist church, 3d st., bet. H and [ n. w., was crowded from door to pulpit, with Washingtons most in- telligent and refined people. Young ladies came out in their best attire, old men and women who had past, over the matrimonial sea, were still fullof their maniage vows. Young men who had crowded the isles on account of no seats being vacant were the objects of the beautiful single young la<ies. The first business in order was calling the association to order by the president W . Calvin Chase, and the reading of au excellent prepar- ed set of minutes by the secretary Miss Lizzie Mason. After prayer by Prot. W. 8. Johuson, several beautiful pieces were rendered by Mr. Geo. Foskey, on the organ, after which Mrs. W. Calvin Chase favored the association witha solo followed with another by Mrs. Drew, who also with Miss Minor sung a duett. The essayest of the evening was Arthur St. A. Smith one of Washing tons most talented young men. His subject, which has been the gossip ot the week, was MARRIAGE. After reading several pages of olden times in England, Spain, France &c, He said: Let me state, this subject was not selected by me for this occasion, on account of any special familiarity with the question myself, but for the purpose of get- ting the benefit of what-ever knowl- edge the audience may have, of the subject through a few sugges- tions which occur to me, at the same time to bring before the or- ganization a question upon which the ladies are equally as well post ed as the gentleinen. In his anec- dotes he showed love in France, in England, he related its customs on marriage, where money and meat were paid to make har- mony &c. The question of marriage is an old one and has probabiy been discussed and decided by more persons than any other -that has ever agitated the mind of the human race, The satisfactory set- tlement of it is quite another thing. Like the question of the future state of man it has many uncertain- ties and unknown quantities and unknown to be calculated and con- tended with many people discuss the question of the future state of man and religion ; but comparative- ly few embrace religon as the sal- vation and a far less number are willing to make a practical test of the question of futurity. But with marriage it is quite different, every- body of marriageable age discusses the question and decides it either one way or the other for themselves. To decide whether it is A DIVINE or civil institution; whether they will or will not marry and under what conditions and ceremonies. The one being largely contingent upon the other. That they should marry for love and marry young, stay married when once murried, and live faithfully up to the mar- riage vows is my belief. THE CUSTOM of marrying more than one wife is no where foundamong nations in a state of refinement and the rules of virtue as well as the precepts of the christian religion which we re- eoguize tends to its prohibition, where polygomy does prevail the women are less valued and_ their mode of education are calculated to keep them ina state of mental darkuess. As has been truly said, married life is the true field for working out human destiuies; and is of all others, the grand problem which only the twain dredly cou- cerned can truly solve. Jerome Malord, was the first speaker to open discussion on the paper and said no one knows how sacred it is tolove a woman. He pictured the females above all earthly dignities. His tribute was logical and most eloquent. His defense of the females was the best ever delivered by him. There never was a time’that man should have two wives; that it is impossible for him todivide his love. A. G. Lenard, was the next speaker, who said that if the men were as half as good as the women there would be more purity in the commanity. There was three thing that he would consider, mother, wife and home. It can be seen, while Mr. Lenard appreciates wife, ue puts the mother front, which was not at all appreciated by the young single ladies who had an wea of marrying. There is more misery than happiness, but let it ee understovk that women is above all. H. Price Williams, took issue with Mr. Lenard and said that he had slandered the femal s. At this janction Mr, Lenard asked Mr. Wil- liams a questivo, but the gentle man declined to yeald. A_privil- edge question way raised by Mr. Lenard to the affect that Mr. Wil- tiams had misrepresented him, that he had complimented the ladies. Lhe discussion was quite lively for a while. The president said that mr. Len- ard had said nothing in bis opinion that reflected directly as indirectly on the ladies. Mr. Malord asked Mr. Williams a painted question, which was po.n‘- edly answered. Mr. Austin Ficklin, gave his views on the question and said no one could appreciate marriage life more than those who are married. A. 8. Richardson explained the remarks made by Mr. Leuard and thoaght that Mr. Williams had mis- uuderstood him. D. F. Batts, said that the speak- ers were too severe on the men. He thought the women were as bad as themen. Prof. Johnson was the last speaker. He gave some philosphical views on mar- riage and after a reply by mr. Smith, one of the most delightfully debates and evening enjoy ment clo- ses. Next Thursday evening mr. Geo. Arnold, will read a paper entitled tie ‘*Drama.” AMUSEMENTS. A GRAND SA- LUTE!
