SNep'G LEssoNs.-Last "Wednesday night
witnessed the Inauguration, at st. James
church, Of a most laudabIe undertaking: A
number of gifted young ladies and gentle
men, assisted by several kind hearted
matrons, met at the church and proceeded to
instruct the young children in vocal music
The meeting was well attended, and all
seemed as happy as a good undertaking
could well make one. We are assured that
the children viii be Instructed in the art Of
singing each Wednesday night if they will
only attend. Parents should make a note of
this and see that their little ones are always
on hand. then.
