lie 'postle say" With great earnest

Seriously. Mr.. Editor. fear that il
many more OF these petlcoat lecturers
turn out. they'll succeed in, turning
the world upside down. You have
no idea how the male gender swallow
cd down Miss Lucy's polions. Some
of them declared they never enjoyed
such an intellectual feasl;' Others
ne' heard such convincing arguments
anI declared that no man could answer
them. But the worst of this business
Is. that it Is putting the very dell into
the heads OF the women folks. They
ARE beginning already TO refuse obvdl-
ence 10 their husbands Notwithstanding
their mafrIage vows. And besides All
this, the unmarried ones have, many
OF them, got their heads turned. and
they declare solemnly that no minister
shall marry them who is not willing 10
leave out of the ceremony the requis-
Itlon 10 obey. know minister who
married couple not many miles from
here, and in the honesty OF his heart,
and IN conformity with the gool old
custom ald the teaching Of the apostle,
he required the bride 70 promise to
obey. AS soon as the Ceremony was
over, she told him she had made a
mental reservation" when she gave her
answer; she wished il understood that
she did not promise 10 obey. The
worst is not yet told. Ii is to be fear
ed that they will no: be content with
unscttlins our ancient and venerated
custom; but they will seek TO recerse
the order OF things. and require the
husbands TO obey their wives! 90
tempora! 0 mores.' Sometimes ! feel
my spirit stirred within me, and am
halt resolved TO buckle OH the armor
and resist these innovators. Bat then
the question COMES up with all its pow

To come to the conclusion oi a hopeful
boy OF whom l once heard. He was
taken before 4 Justice oI Peace, char
gei with some misiemeanor. The
Justice asked nim ii he had any coun-
sci employed. No. Ii he was able TO
employ coansel. No. Ii he wished
10 have counsel employed. Mol he
sill responded. "Wsli, what arc you

lnc conclusion am togesI 10 adopt in

as the b'h0y just mentioned came OF
clear because nothing could be proved
against him. ls nay be tha. Ibis busi.
