TaE LECTURE LAST NIGur.-The lee
ture of Rev. s. B. Bell, on Men and
Women too" at Piper's Opera House,
Virginia, was not very fully attended,
but a very entertaining lecture was
given on a very interesting subject.
we did ourself the pleasure Of hearing
the entire lecture, and looked upon 1t as
possessing the merit of originality, IN
IN eminent degree, presenting therein
quite q refreshing contrast to the gener-
ality Of religious lectures, and merit
ing a better attendance. The lecturer
made q series of comparative illustra-
tious, showing wherein individuals
among mankind exhibit traits peculiar
TO certain animals, rs for instance, q
man possessed Of q great degree OF sly
cunning and craftiness, looks foxy ra-
pacious, greedy, fe%rocious individuals,
bear in personal appearance the TRAITS
of the wolf or the hyena, an uncertain,
6sby sort of q man looks fshy. I'VE
know several mighty sediy chaps In this
community, one Of whom drinks like a
fish and rhales his little club Of a wife
occasionally, until she blows like a por-
poi,e. This dirty little whisky sucker
has smeh the inside Of the station
house several time, on that &C.
count, giving legal sharks a chance
for a 6ai each time, a-ddtRS the
nuisance, however, merely tor the
time, or until be is caught " batting his
little wife again The lecturer did not
90 much on mean, wriggling, crawling
snaky men, indeed he openly stated that
he really considered it a merit to Kill a
snake at sigh. rs being the emblem OF
ain. We could hardly agree with him
there, for he nor any other man has any
right to pronounce any OF Gods WORKS
not good, or to wantoGly destroy any OF
Gods creatures: There was an all wise
purpose in the creation Of everything,
and nothing was made without its use.
The early travellers to California across
the Plains, by the southern route, found
fried rattlesuakes good eating, and their
oil ia said 70 DO an excellent remedy for
rheumatism. In the COW counties OF
California, too, the big bull snakes
burrow in the ground and live on
oonber,, those destructive little ground
mics which feed on the roots OF grain
and DESTROY trees, and other vegetation.
We confess to a great proclivity for
killing snakes, toads, polecats anq
spiders. but we do it notfrom any merit
or right, but just because we IKE 70.
Then, again, 10 speaking OF women
ton " there were three ladies present.
the lecturer in illustration Of her self
sacrificing disposition for the benefit OF
man. mentioned the noble heroism oil
one wife who patiently bore n drunken
bn.band'. abuse for twenty years, and
oI,honob he drank them both out oil
Nome and home, reducing her from
comfort and plenty to squalid poverty
hard toll and still worse treatment, !es,
through all that long and soui-sryinS
t;ms she never spoke q harsh word OF
unbra;ded him in the least. The lee
turer freely a~pplauded the kind endar'
ance Of this woman, yet after oil, II sue
had just vigorously pitched III "nu
tbrashed him more or less, whene'e. NC
came home drunk, blown him sky-hign'
and beat a little true appreciation OF nis
duty as a man aud husband into MA
mean carcass, instead of quietly allow,
ing him TO keep befudd!ed on bad
whisky and 60 to destruction for twenty
YEARS. she would have come nearer doing
her duty both to "men and women
too.n As we said before, the lecture
was entertaining and good, and unlike
many we have heard, was we'll worthy
of criticism.
