THE THREE SAINT ANTHoNYs.

Padua.
10 accuse St Anthony-the first of
the name-of hating women would be
to SANDER him, of course; still it can
not be denied that his feeling toward
them was, on the whole, just about as
unfrlendly as Christian charity would
permit. Why they had ever been crea-
TED, indeed he was always at loss to
understand, unless it were to make
men long for the next world by rem
derins their lives a burden to them in
this. He regarded the whole sex with
profound mistrust, a mistrust not I'M
tinged with fear; for, although always
on the alert, he seems to have been
never quite sure what trick they might
not be up to next. That they were, for
the most part, the DEVILS closest and
most interruptions allies was a point
about which he personally had very lit
tie doubt. Again and again in the
course Of his life he proved clearly
what he thought of them ard their
ways; he would refuse to look on than
or hold parley with them; and the bur-
den Of much of his teaching was-lions
was, in fact, the organizer and leader
of the first anti-women crusade; and it
was part of his regular propaganda to
insist that there could be neither peace
on earth nor good willEamong men UNI
less the whole feminine tribe We're boy
cotted. Evidently he had no great
faith in the resisting powers of his
fellows; for the lesson ne most i'm
pressed upon them was that in dealing
with women, their only chance of safe
ty lay in flight. He even persuaded
some hundreds of the weaker sort to
retire from the world altogether; and,
as forlorn hope to put strong walls
and iron bars between themselves and
their tormentors. Yet, strange to
say, in spite of the suspicion with
which he regarded them, and of the
contumely with which he sometimes
treated them, st. Anthony seems al
