Almost everything was encored, until the 1t.,. J.
Stephenson atelmed forward, and asked the audience not
1., encore any more, as there really wee not time. It need
scarcely be said that the singers and reader acquitted
themselves admirably; their [MOWS will be a guarantee
for that, &ad we must not parUcularlse ; sufilm it that
due the encoring was stope, eoch v. . w. received

Ir. a humorous account of the present by • peer
farmer of a whlte hen, in behalf of the sufferers by the
war, and of her sale by &action at the hamar : it caused
the audience to I ,ugh heartily. After the entertaintueot,
The Rev. J. Stirgamprom said they had again had •
prosperous year at their wheels, and the reports bad been
first rata this ye.,; he did not know that they could
have had better from their Government Inspector. Mr.
Tregarthen, who wes • very sharp roan, and whose eye
did not mias saything, for the teachers knew that if there
waa anything that ought 12 it to be, Mr. Tregarthen's eye
ems sure to mark it. Stith he Weo happy to tell them
their reports were es good a. they could be,
and when he read that from the Bishop's Inspector, it
almost made one blush, because it was ahnott too gaol ;
the girls' whoa atomd at the head of the whole district for
Scripture. (Applause.) With recut to their slidietlties,
a 'Send had given him a hint—" Tell thous we find it very
slifilmilt indeed to whip them up “rly 1.. the nursing;
they do not come before the 10'. clock hour; it was very
difficult to get then, in for the met important part ot the
inatruction —that in Scripture." Now, if 'be children do
not come before 10, they du not get religious instruction.
He did not think in-truction woo worth much without
• edition In, it and, unle.s religion stood firsts and leavened
the whole thing, education might do rather more hum
than good in fact, he should be sorry to give education
without religtooe In traction, hot the children would get
none if they did not come before II o'clock. Their not
coming in time caused not only a loan, but the low of the
very hest and most important part of the day. Di let
them send their children in lime for school. (Hear.)
Another thing was—they had now a friend Rohe round
and paying visits to the homes. Thom visits were not
void on behalf of them (the clergy and friend.), but the
kismet.' via+ sent by the powers that be; he brought
etnie aolemn.looking papers In his hand, and stool with
something very great behind him —.he high and mighty
law. Ile we. • very useful man; and be told the speaker
the other day—" I have am ram. where the childreu are
absent, and the parente have bet n brought up before the
authorities"—he (Mr. Stephenson) was :lid they did not
lalong to St. John's—end, the inspector continued, "If
them parent, do not mud their children when the school
he,:ins we shell send them summoners." Ile (Mr.
Stephenson) did not wish that; but don't let them forget
the law; and he was tot cure that it Wel not a very good
thine—he himself wanted a little spurring now end then
—"Do your duty, and, if you do not, remember what
comes." We do not went to iuterfere with liberty; but
people anust do their duty. It moo on uncommon good
thing, although he did not think the law taught people to
do their duty, yet it helped But this friend who wi•nt
about to the hamlet does not whip up the children for
nine o'clock, but for ten. Now he (Mr. Stephen-on)
went., there to come at nine; let them say, "Whoever
like, his children to go *blued relstions inatruelton,
mine shall not ;" if the work for the children was to he
doue clergymen, and parents, and children must all work
.imether, awl that was why they were there tohight.
Having spiken the impirtatice and difiloulty of trains
Inc kip children in the way they should go, Mr. Stephen-
son m went on to wino the aisles% the misfortune spoken
of in Home, where the prophet tell. of Israel linnuilig
up "children for the murderers." Among these mur-
derers he warned the parent.. against drink, seltiahnesta,

Stephenson reminded these of Him who CAM, ink, the
