The Education of Women.

viii then the better education of our wo-
men unfit them for the discharge of woman's
especial duties? If education doe not enable
US to fulfill our duties, there must be some IA
dical defect in it, and if it does not fit us for
the discharge of them, then what does? That
the women of the present day are not fitted
for theirs is a lamentable fact, or why should
we see So many unhappy homes, and so many
men unwilling to marry? An education that
teaches a woman to do little more than frit-
ter away her time in frivolous pursuits, and
makes her merely drawing-room ornament,
without giving her any useful knowledge by
which she may earn living, should necessi-
ty compel her to do SO, is useless one and
this, in most cases, is the only education of
the women of England at the present time,
There is no attempt 10 make her an intelli-
gent companion, to give her the knowledge
Of those duties which she will probably be
called upon to fulfil. From the cradle to the
grave her time is passed in the way in which
nature never intended it should be passed
Nine out Of every ten women, if they marry
at all, are the wives OF poor men. In what
way does the education they have received fit
them for that position? Has not the whole
tenor Of the instruction they have received
taught them to study display as much as pos
sible; 10 ape gentility to the utmost Of their
power, to aim at appearances, and TO make
the best show before the world, no matter at
what cost How can such women as these be
suitable companions for intelligent men Of
moderate means? What sympathy can they
feel with their husbands, or how give the
hard-worked man the mental rest he needs at
10 Et~t i, i+I 81
world? And, still further, how can such wo-
men train the minds of their children to bat.
tie with the evil of the world, or aspire after
the glories II eternity?
True il r. that neither the wisdom nor
learning Of this world are necessary 10 take F.
Us to heaven. There Is many an uueducat- b
ed mother, who has yet had learning enough .
to teach her child the way ofsalyation but
am speaking Of women as a class, and not as
individuals, and | say that the women of the
present day are not fitted for the plsitilnaud
duties they are called on % fulfil. and that
heir education is utterly wrong. That there
ire noble examples TO the contrary is no ar

DELAWARE Observation-Disclosures is q small
State, but she deals largely in punishments-
and those of the most cruel nature. We had
thought that the pillory and whipping post had
become obsolete, until the details below met
our eye. Had such scenes transpired in q COM
munity where Catholicity prevailed, it would
be held up to execration as a relic of the Clark
ages"
William Jones had stolen store goods worth
thirty eight dollars, and he was sentenced to
return that amount of money, stand in the pill
Tory for one hour, be whipped with twenty
lashes, be imprisoned for six months, and wear
convict's dress for six months after his re-
lease. The criminal was taller than the stock,
and he was compelled to bend down just enough
to make his position intensely painful. The
Jagged, splintered edge of the wooden collar
rasped his neck until it tore the skin, and when
ever he attempted to move his head to make his
position more easy, the bar would catch the
upper part of his jaw bone, and give him ex-
qulslte torture. Whentaken out he had to be
taken to Jail to revive sufficiently to bear the
whipping. Next came the whipping.
The Sheriff came out with the "cat " in his
hand. This venerable weapon consists of a
stout handle about two feet long, with nine
lashes of somewhat greater strength. The
gether, apd as hard wire. They have been
soaked with blood before this, and it is dried
upon them until the edges are as sharp as
knives.
Matthew Perry picked up piece of pig iron,
said-improbably-to be worth seventy-five
cents. Chief Justice Gilpin and Judge Hous-
ton, two venerable magistrates, backed by so
cicty against one small child, declared that he
should pay seventy-fve cents restitution
money, the costs of his prosecution, be whipped
with twenty lashes on his bare back be impris-
oned for six months, and be compelled to wear
convict's dress in public for six months after
his discharge"
When he hadbeen whipped, the jaiior brought
out q boy of fourteen, who was surrounded by
running children, gazing curiously upon him.
He had twenty lashes ALSO and as each blow de-
cended, his muscles contracted, and he tried to
dodge to avoid it.
Then there was piteous sight An old man
of seventy years, decrepid, feeble, and very
lame, hobbled out, his gray hairs streaming in
the wind. He wanted o shirt, heaven knows
badly enough this winter weather. and he had
very wickedly stolen it. He had none now
The jailer fastened him to the post and snatch
ed the blanket from his back. His skin was
yellow and wrinkled, and it had scars upon it,
The lashes fell, and the old mans whole frame
was convulsed with agony. He writhed under
each blow. as If it was uncomfortable, and at last
ne put his head down and cried like q child.
The last actor in this hideous tragedy was the
man who had stood in the pillory for an hour
He seemed hardly recovered from his first tor
tnre and his face indicated keen suffering. He
walked to the post with an air of melancholy
resignation, placed his blue hands through the
manacles, and received his punishment with
out any utterance but a suppressed moan.

LORD STANLEY ON Observation-Disclosures
the elections in England are over, some of the
outgivings Of prominent men have more than
passing interest. Lord Stanley, in his ad-
dress to the electors of Lynn, spoke thus of
English improvidence:
The English people, from the highest to the
lowest, were not very frugal or saving race
There was among them all an appropriateness in
money matters which does not exist in Europe,
and where there is improvidence there 1Siai
always be pauperism.

AN ENEMYs DESCRIPTION OF Pope P1us
h.-The following sketch of the Holy Father
is particularly precious, coming as it does from
an enemy of His Holiness, the Roman CORE
spondent of the Paris Tempe: "Rome has be-
gun to have hopes of the goodwill of the Sub
lime Pope. Plus TX, who applies himself with
astonishing zeal to the extension of the church,
the erection of new bishoprics the conversion
of England, the return of the Creeks, and other
vast problems, has prepared recommence-
ment of the effort of Eugene ~. in 1439, ut the
Council of Florence. This eminent Pontiff one
of the greatest that ever lived, in an ecclesias-
teal point of view, examines every morning in
his regular audiences, all these questions with
priests and prelates who have made q special
study of them. He ripens the problems. He
is skillful in setting the wheels running. He
sends agents to England, America and the
East, to study the questions on the very spot.
He sends for Bulgarian priests, obscure men
who are powers. The political man of the tenn
poral power, and the man of joyous and some
times facetiOus disposition, makes lose too
much sight in Plus TX. of the Pope, who is the
greatest prOpagandist and the greatest repairer
of ecclesiastical checks that has existed for a
long time. We do not sufficiently remark that
he executes all these vast undertakings not
by chance, not because they were of them
selves ripe, but because he is ~ very rejecting
Pope, and one of a very marked personal cha
racter. He is truly the man of the vast globe
to be seen in a cabinet of the Vatican, marking
with red signs the present limits of his empire
and saying to little priest, who looks most
insignificant while showing him country not
yet subdued, That must be taken.'"
