The Lecture.-The lecture last

The Lecture.-The lecture last
Thursday evening, was we'll attended,
The subiect-''Laws and their Charac-
teristics," was well chosen, and its adap-
tation to tho audience and occasion was
good proof of the fitness of the man as n
lecturer.
The lecturer began by remarking TINT
Law is Supreme, holding rule everywhere
and ever all things. He dwelt at consid
cradle length upon the beauty of natula'
laws, so fautless in all their workings, and
their perfect adaptation to the accomplish
ment of their intended results. He spoke
of the influence the study of natural laws
must have upon mcn-lea,iing them to
fear and reverence that Power which in
ssituted and adjusted all law, ''seeing tie
end from the beginning" The speaker
directed some pleasant satire at that phi
lOsophy which attributes all apparently
unnatural and misunderstood occurrences
TO the special intorposition of God. The
lecture was, III short. well written and
we'll received; and but for fault in its
delivery the want of clearness and full
mesa OF voice-it would have given the
most cptire satisfaction. and Mr.. Twom-
bly, would have amply sustained his pre-
vious reputation.
Tho next and last lecture of the
course will be given on Thurs lay evening

NAMING FrN.-lIcre is good story which
We have just heard. 4 young man "a brother
To Sly. Boots, perhaps, for like her, he cniov.
cd a good jokc,) was studying at College.
One afternoon he walked out VIZ, one of his
instructors, and the; cnanccd to see an old
pair Of >nocs lying beside the path, which
appeared to belong to a poor man who worked
close by. "Let us have n little amusement
at his expense" said the student. "SuppoSe
we hide these shoes, and conceal ourselves in
the bushes to watch his perplexity when he
cannot find them"
~ can think of better trick than that"
said the instructor. "You are rich, and sup
pose you put silver dollar in the toe of each
shoe, and then we will hide" They did so.
The poor man finished his work soon, and
went to put on his shoes. You can Imagine
his surprise, when he stopped down to take
out pebble, as he supposed, from the toe,
and found in it hard dollar, and then his ab.
solutc perplexity and astoniShlnent, when he
found still another in the other shoe. Ills
feelings overcame him he fell upon his knees
and uttered fcrvent thanksgiving, in which
he thanked q kind Providence for sending
Snme unknown hand to save from periShing
his sick and helpless wife, and his children
without bread. Do you wonder that the
young man stood in his hiding place deeply
affected, and his eyes filled with tearsl Young
friends, and you, Miss rs Boots" when you
want to enjoy real fun, real pleasure, ut wit.
Messing the perplexity Of others, see if you
cannot in some way initiate the student-such
tricks are worth performing,
