It thou wilt take tho lft hand, I will go to th right; or If thou dopart to the right, I wiil go to tho left.” Amdl Lot, Instead of "let- ting his unclo have firat cholce, lifted up his eyes amd saw the plain of Jordan, and it was well watered amd fruftful, so he pitched his tent toward Bodom: That was when le began to backstlde, He was ambitlous to be richer than Abrabam, and he chusg for limsclf Instead of Jetting God choose for him, I have no doubt that thie Sodomites who got acquainted with him eaid he was a very shrewd man, and predicted that he would be very rich,— rfcher even than his uncle Abraham, How long fic stayed In the plnin we do not knoy, but alter a whitle we flud him living {n 8odom. He knew what sort of people the Scdomlites were, for he hod tlved near thelr city. He went Into Bodom with his-eyes open. But business was pressing. ic had 8 large number of people de- pendent on him and e was anxious to be very rich, 1o know he wna taking his children fnto bad company, bub with hiw it was business, busincss, nuney, monaey, The next thiig we hearof him he {8 fn trouble.

Ihave no doubt that Lot becamne a great man there in Sodom—one of the best busluesy men of the place. Probably be had a goud many corner lotg, and sowme fine blocks of dwul- linga, with his name on them. Maybe they would havo sent him to Congress il there hud been any, Perhaps he was Mayor of Bodom, ur Judge—Judge Lot—that sounds very well, AMrs, Lot hug a fiue turn-out, and the Misscs Lot were among the most fnshionabls young ladles In all Sodom, But one oveningns he was sitting st the gate lio saw Lwo strangers coming. o had seen these omyels twenty years before at the house of his uncle Abraham, and he at once fell down before them, and uc{‘;zed them to o bome with him. The apeaker then drow a vivid picture of the mob around the higuse of Lot, of ‘the mes- suge of the angels, and thelr (nquiry after the rest of his family.

Mr, 8pencer offored prayer. ‘The presiding officer explalned that the reason why g0 few were present was that women were universally at work throughboul the city and State. The reason why the meeting was held at this timo on so short notlce was, that it was thought best to appear befors Congress with a mounster petition for a sixteenth amendment, especlally $n view of the proposal fora Constitu- tlonal Conventlon to remodel the Natlonal Con- stitution. The chief object of the mecting was, therefore, to prepare and eirculate Illinols! share of the great petitlon. Mrs. Duniway, of Oregon, on being in- vited to speak, gave the history of the move- ment In her State, culminating fna Lill to en- franchise woinen, which falled to pass by ouly three votes, ” MRS, DR. WARDER, of Calro, spoke of the Centenunlal work fn which she had been engaged. Bha thought that the great trouble was that women i general did not know swhat they could do. Sne had found In her work In the Eighth Congressional Disteict that it nceded only a very little exertion to convinee the women what they could and ougnt to do, The following Ictfer from DI, THOMAS, formerly of Chicagro, but wow of Aurors, was then read by the President: Aunona, Dec 2.—30rs.

And I have a growing convictlon that society’ must ere long not only Acknowledge woman's right to the ballot, Lut con- fons 1ta need; that whe havao it for {ts own preserva. tion and purity. Indeed it seems unreasonsble to axk womay to take 5o Jarga a part in the hard work of the world's rotorms, and at the samo time deny her the right to vote, which {a the greatest and in many cases the only power by which these reforms can De effected, Ithink that this whole question of the right of franchies necds to be gone over agsain in this Cflmlll’{. 1tfs a »ad commont that a grest election Is lefl to turn upon the rabble of our great citics, or theunletiered negroes of the South. Citlzenshlp In our country means both too much and too little; too much In the power that Ia put (n tho Lands of the fgnarant and viclous, and too lit- tlo in that it Is o cheap that no one caren to value it. It scems to me that [t would be better to ree niove the restriction of sox from the ballot, and plnce it entirely upon soime just basis of Intelli- geuce and property, This would place a premlum upon industry and learming, and, whils «’l would estram the power of the low nnd lgnorant classes, 1t wonld at the same timo sccure thelr rishis and thelr greatest good by placing this puwer {n betler Dands, The ptiblic mind {s prepared to give yon a falrer hearing than ever before, and 1 trast “your meeting may rosult in wise conclusions and aitu- Dble nction, it I had no thoucht of euylng s inuch in this buaty letter.

The Secrctary, Mrs. Walt, of Aurors, read her annual rc&»urt, iving an account of all the muitlxl:ga held during the year. It was ace cepted. he following commitiee on nomination of oflicers was appointed: Mrs, Cutler, Mrs, Wait, Mrs, Lomnis, Mrs. Mix, Mrs, Gardner, and Mr, Fernando Jones.

The attend- sucs was somcewhat ftproved, fully thirty pet- sons being present, fncluding o of the necessury ropunor’nl element. Theonly clement of diacord was flve women who sat In a cornor and gossiped out loud, to the infinito disgust of the remainder of tho assoclation. That respected member who, habited fu sable ond blue, with ostrich plume, retaited scamlul- ous auecdotts to o woman In bluck velvet and disgusted the whole meoting was capeelally dis- tressing, It s doubtful whether the cause will ever go on until these women are suppresseds OPFICENS.

MHS, CUTLER was then introduced as “one of the grand old workers fn the cause," and spoke at “considera. bla length on the lewul wapects of the question, In scathlng terins sho adverted to the cou- temptuous treatment which a womsn's .udrni:o etition hiad once recoived I the INlnols Legis- uture, where It was referred to the Committes on Internal Navigation, the Chairinan of which wmade & burlesque report thercon. It way fore tunate for thut Chafrinan, and decidedly in the foterest of peaco aud order, that he'was uot present slurhui this partion ol the laily's re. warks, Mrs, Cutler urgued that the present election muddle was owing to the abuse of the right of sullrage, and that tho only way to avold -such troublesome coutingencies n” the future was to extend this right to the women of Auterlea. ‘Fhe President, in referring to what had Leon accomplished tha past Il:xu', nutled the recow- nition given to womnen {n tho two Natlonal Con- ventions vod &t the Centennful.

The report was adopted without dissent, and on motion Mrs. Fernando Jones, Miss Fraoces E. Willard, and Mrs. E. Boynton Harbert were appointed delegates to a convention to be held in Washington the 16th and 17th of Janu- ary, 1877, The next business was the readiog of & paper by Mrs, Harbert. CAPT. BLACK, the orator of the evening, was then introduced. 1le said ho knew of no hotter way to entertaln his hearers than to relate his experfonce in be- coming a convert to female suffrage. His mind had long been Impressed with the woman move- ment, ‘and gome months ago he had reducea his thoughts to writing to bo lald beforo a similar gathering to the one ho was ad- dressing. 1le read the paper to his wife, and It met her hearty spproval. Ho was converted by that paper, for in writlng 1t he studied his aub- fect clusely, and he believed such would be the experience of every honest mind when dispas- slonately studying the great question. From that tinie forward he hed regarded woman as the helpmeet of man, and, this being her atti- {';“;IIB’ it was necessary that she should have the allot, Mrs. Rounds followed, reading an essay by Misa F.

GROVER next addressed the Assoclation briefly. e had redivted that the crusade in Ohlo would be oined by the suflrage movement, and that tho 1o causes would be made onc, and he was glad to sce his prophecy falfitled. e was in entire lf‘mgfllhy with the women in their demand for the ballot, and betieved that the continusnce of & republican form ol governmentin this country depended upon its belng given to her, MRS, PERNANDO JONES made a few remarks, calling attontfon to the depleted condition of the treasury of the Asso- ciatlon and the fact that at the morning collec- tion only $1 had been contributed, and that bya gentleman, 8he thought — if those preseat would give a dimc each that the ecxpenses would bo covered, but In this, it appears, aie was mistaken, for afterthe bonuet had been passed around it was sadly an- nounced that the Associntion hod aceomplished very little, and bealde was just $5 in debt. Beveral other addresses were made in which BL. Paul recelved a rough handling as belng op- posed to womun's suffrage, but luckily the apostle found & defender in a strange lady who sald that her husband had been translating his writings, and had made the discovery that all other “translators had prossly misrepreseuted which quickly closed on two fingers of one hand and three on the other. Whitmarsh yelled for help, which was prompt- Ily furnished in the shape of "answering yells of derision by the boys who, comfortably seated on sheds, had witneased the whole scene, and by Mra. Whitmarsh, who, hearing the eriea of her hushand, rished into the yard and [nereased the ket by her cries of murder, thicves, police, etc., i which she was joined by the ncighbos. Baveral nolicemen by this tiue arrved, and tvo or thresof them seized Whitmarsh, who they mistook for s burglar, and tried to pull Mim on to his feet, almost tearing bis fingers off In the attempt and dealing him sturdy blows and kicks meanwhile. By the time they hall dis- ravered the true situation of affalrs ‘the unfor- tunats Whitmarsh had fainted from the etfect of pain and mortitication, He was carricd into the house and teuderly cared for, butno balm can heal his wounded feelings, and the boys, clated by thelr success, are rnle)y epolling their encmy.
