"FlusnoNns AND Wiens" --This was the title of a lecture delivered by Mrs. Skelton, of To- ronto. in Panson's Hall last rnonday evening. The attendance was not large, but theme wbo were present appeared to appreciate the lec- ture. Mrd. ,Skelton spoke of the cotu•lehip which usually precedes marriage, and exposed the deceitfulness which is practiced by both sexes, by hiding all their faults and appearing to be what they really are not. She said that marriages resulting from a courtship in which deception was practiced by one or both partial could not be happy unions. The husband would discover that the woman had faults that be bad not dreampt of before marriage, and the wrfo would find to her sorrows that he whom oho wedded had deceived her ; she judged by appcaiauees and was "takeu in." The kctrn'ess eht)wed that a great responsibil- ity devolved upon both husbands and wives. The b:usband should be tis attentive to his safe as he was when etre, was a "Miss,'' mud she in return should sympathize with and if possible esvict her husband in all hie trnnbles. rhe "honey rn,lon" should eontiune until demes separated them, The 'frttilta and defects of the fetuale dcx were closely criticised, mturl time opposite sex did, not ectape. The flirt was de. nouuoed in the severest teams: The lecfurese was frequently applauded during the time she addressed the audience, and at the vloso was tendered a hearty vole of thauks, Mr, J, P. Clarice ably presided over the meeting lo the capacity, of chairman. CoeveusezIONE.—A Couyersaztone, unclear the anapioea of Lebanon Forest Lodge, i33, A.
