Rev. Wo. B. Cullitt, from the Strtntoa Re

Tbe lecturer on atcending tbe platform
was greeted witb loud appiause. He com
meoced hit lecture by a sort of well-made
apology for tbe common-place ektracter of
the tubject. and then launched forth in a
brilliant and tiiocettful effort to tbow there
was no neoessily for any reference to tbe
common place.
Ha first showed tbo Importance of pleat,
ant personal appearaooes and pleasant man'
ners, and did not agree with tbe often re
peated remark that no matter what tbe out
tide Is if tbe heart Is all right. After treat-
log of outside appearances in a mttterly
manner and to the great delight of hit aud
lance, be went cn to point out tbo various
methods of wording appearance. Ho then
referred to tbe frequent babtt of jodglog by
appearances, showing bow very uncertain n
method it was and giving tome example) of
mistake made by judging according to thi
rule. The efforts to keep up appearance In
drett were next tbe tubject of humorous dit.
ciittion. In this part of the lecture tbe la
dles cam in for a large share, and tbe way
In which he held up to ridioule the present
styles and extravagance in drots will not
toon be forgotten by those who besrd bim.
He said that there were maoy reforms need,

but the most pressing and important tubject
that could occupy tbe minds of the female
reformers was tbe question or reform In
dress. Fashionable men were then disposed

species or human bollow ware. Appeal toc
et In learning respectability and reflnemen
were then treated by the lecturer, almoat
ceornlilog his audience witb laughter at ev
ery step by his humorous allusions nod
pointed, well-told stories. He then referred
to tbe habit of a certain clan of society
soeeringst labor, and also to tbe praollce ol
'he prets ridiculing those who are now oc
cupying poaitioos of honor and influence.
but who once drove mules and delved Into
the depths of tbe earth for tbe development
of tbe resources ol this region, and obarao
terlied it as one that should be met with
scorn and reprobation by all Intel ligeot
