Well, I did wait; and by and BY l saw

CONVENT LIFE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
The New York Tribune of October Goth says:


Edith O'Gorman, formerly Sister Theresa, de-
livered lecture on the above subject at Cooper
hall, Jersey City, last evening, and said some
startling things. Among others, she cited case
of six sisters who had been in love with one
priest. She said it was generally supposed that
inmates of . conven: had no desire for bus-
band other than celestial Que but this was
not true, they all hankered after q material
spouse. The priests too, instead of attending
to their holy office, passed the greater part of
their time in drinking wine and making love to
the sisters 1t was supposed also, that all was
kindness and love in convent. This was not
SO, the speaker had known a Lady Superior
to compel novice to eat an earthworm and bite
the head of bird which had been dead for sew
eral weeks, and all this for the most trivial
ofense. Most people thought it WIS well to
place their children under the care Of the Sis
tiers OF Charity. This was also . mistake, for
she had known the most inhuman outrages to
be practiced by them upon children. One case
would do to illustrate: A Child only three
years of age had been whipped before her for
some slight cause and then plunged into tub
of ice-cold water, and from this treatment the
child soon afterwards died. Nor were the chill
dren benefited Intellectually, for they spent most
of their time not in study but in counting Deaos.
Miss O'Gorham was listened to with marked at
tention, not devoid of considerable surprise.
Large crowds assembled at the main entrance OF
the hall after the lecture, but they were oisaP-
pointed in either seeing or assaulting the oeJec'
of their adversion, as the lecturer retlrea o5

TIRED OF IA Marylander of Kent

farming. He. talks thus in one Of our ex-
changes:


1t is becoming serious question whet-
her our whole system of agriculture does
not need reconstruction. We buy fertili-
zers to raise wheat, and the wheat does
not pay for the fertilizers; we buy boxes
to ship peaches, and the peaches do not
pay for the boxes and to wind up, we
raise all the corn we can, and feed it to a
herd of hungry swine, and eat bacon till
the liver is torpid, and then the doctor
steps in to take what little may be left. 1
doubt very seriously whether single far
mer in all Kent comfy can exhibit the
figures to show how much any fertilizer
has paid him above his ordinary crop or
show conclusively that the increased yield
has paid for the fertilizer, unless it may
be in lime, bone dust, or ashes which per-
manenty benefit the soil. { g =
