By way of presenting the subject he rehearsed tJhe striking features of an educational work entitled “The Evolution of Dodd.” Aside from the very interesting and amusing features of the exercise it was highly instructive, and to those who had not read the book, a rare treat. The second exercise was the subject of music bv Prof. J. M. Black. His work at this hour consisted of a lively drill on the scale. The third exercise was given bv Prof. N. C. Johnson on the subject of History. After defining history to be “a revelation of man’s progrv>s along rational lines,” he disc us-ed the following points: 1.

His subject was •‘Solomon’s Spider,” of “A Voice From ; Nature.” The theme of his talk was “The struggle of ascension in the human soul.” Of the many excellent things he said we • have room only for a few of the must ! striking: “The road iy> the incline is hard, but life at the bottom is harder.” * The struggle for an education is long and laborious, but a life of ignorance is longer and more laborious.” “Criticisms may fall thick and fast among the words of approval, but numerous criticisms with more numerous commendations are better than all criticisms with *o commendations.” “Evil reports will block your pathway, yet a few evil reports with the brand of falsehood are far preferable to many stamped with the seal of truth.” “Better are the bruises of escape than the corns of the wearing.” | “If fre would wear crowns upon oui

heads, we must first remove oar turbans.” “U we would hare our abiding.place among men and women of purity, progress ami purpose, we must depart from the low, marshy camp grounds of the sluggard. Perpetual motion and that an ascension is the only preventive and cure of the dread miasma of intellectual decay.” The lecture was highly appreciated by all present, and many and loud were the terms of praise in favor of the professor.

Good MaterMI, Good Workmen. There 0 no other business where skill —art if you please—i- so necessary as in a printing office. Some offices have good material but p*x>r workmen— blacksmiths. Others have good workmen but poor material. Neuliar can turn out good work. The Two Combined. Did you ever try us?
