DR.. HATFIELD on WoMAN's surf
RAGE.-The telegraph brings Us a
summary of lecture delivered in
Chicago Feb. 18th by Rev. DR.. Hat
field of that city, on "The Pernicious
Effects Of the Agitation OF Woman's
Suffrage" He said the agitation was
based on false assumption Of woman's
expressions. Nothing, he said, was
further from the truth As many
men suffered from the effects Of wo-
mans tongue as women from drunk
en- husbands The entire cause was
kept up by false representation and
gross exaggerations. He admitted
that there were good and pure men
and women who advocated woman's
suffrage, but they had no conception
toward what they were tending
They imagined they could jump half
way down the precipice aud then
stop. He insisted that women do
not stand in need Of the ballot for
redress Of any grievance, real or i'm
aginary. He proposed to leave wo-
mans emancipation and elevation to
be brought about by the progress of
Christianity. He closed by prophe-
sying injury to the Republic in the
event OF the success Of woman's suf-
frage.

The place of suffering to which
wicked human beings are doomed il

has ten departments, also called
"earth's prisons" named according
to the mode of punishment employed
in them. There is a presiding Judge,
who decides in hades, or the place
into which the wicked go Just after
death, in regard to the prison into
which each is to enter. Flogging.
bastinadoing, transportation, Danish
ment and death are the FIVE punish
ments which are borne in this life
bell. hungry demons and the state OF
brutes are three ways of SUFFERING
after death. The ten kings Of hell
have each q hell in which TO punish
those who are condemned TO them
l. The hell in which are hills stuck
full of knives.
2. The hell which has an iron boil
er hlled with scaldlng water.
B. The hell Of cold ice.
4. The nell Of trees stuck full Of
swords.
3. The hell where mems tongues
are plucked out, as a punishment for
the sins of the tongue.
8. The hell of poisoned serpents.
z. The hell Of cutting and grinding
to pieces.
g. The hell of saving into pieces.
8 The hell with iron beds.
10. The hell of black ness and dark
ness.
Besides those above named there
are many others. For instance,
those who killed pigs and dogs will
be torn to pieces by pigs and dogs.

Whatlis Woman's Special Need at the
Present Time?

Some time ago we noticed the fact
that q Woman's Club" was about to
be organized in Brooklyn. 1t has
for weeks been in the full tide success
but as its object has been not noto-
riety, but the promotion of deeper
thought and more thorough educa-
ton, the public has not been SO gen.
orally apprised of its movements as
those of many of its sister societies,
kindred rather in name than in spirit.
The object is mental growth, and
though the stigma of social taboo is
not affixed to the question OF Woman
Suffrage, it is by no means consider
ed the all-absorbing topic, nor allow
ed to hold a place in discussion to
the exclusion of more important sub
jects. The question under discussion
on Saturday last was: "What is wo-
mans special need at the present
time ?" There was a diversity of
"wants"-e. g., broader education /;
more thoroughness in thought and
execution a more distinct individu-
atty greater justice and charity for
each other; equal education with
men, and greater freedom from fash
ions restrictions. To all Of which
woman's best lovers will yield cor
dial and hearty assent.-Erchdnge.
