EDUCATIONAL.

The next meeting OF the Chittenden County
Teachers Association will be held at Richmond.
on the 22d and 23d of January. The point Sc
leeted is easy of access and it is hoped that most
of the teachers of the county will be present.
The School at Essex, under the care Of Mr.
Sanderson, numbers nearly one hundred pupils,
between thirty and forty Of whom are in the
classical department. This is in the immediate
charge of Mr.. Oscar Atwood, to whose accuracy
and thoroughness Of scholarship we are able
to bear witness.
The american Educational .NoRhllfor jan
uary gives up thirteen Of its pages to - the Ro-
man Catholic view Of Education in the United
States" If we not quite at fault in the style
Of this paper, the pen that wrote It has had slme
practice in sermon writing. II is well that Pro-
testants should know precisely what it is that
the Romanist asks, and why he asks it, We do
not think the views Of the Catholics on the sub
ject Of education, and their arguments for them,
are always rightly understo i by those who op-
pose them. There are some aspects Of the Ques-
tion however, which this paper sheds no light
upon. An article in the same number on heventil-
alton and warming Of School-lIouses, is worthy
Of attention. 4 page and halfof 50 Education-
al Intelligence " from Vermont makes snch
showingof our schools and school facilities, as no
native or resident Of the State will be pleased to
read. The worst Of it is, that the damaging
facts are taken from the official report Of the
Secretary of the Board Of Education.

1t would not be wonderful if some Of cur
readers never heard of this term before, and
without an explanation, would be obliged to
have recourse to the dictionary. To such we
will say that yivisection is .. the dissectinG or
opening of living animals.
From the year 1867 report of the Secretary
Of the New York Society we take the follow
ing
In the opinion Of the Secretary, the subject
of vivisection seems to demand more than
casual allusiOn.
In the first communication which was re-
ceiyed on the subject, after the organization
of the Society, and which hastened our i'm
mediate action thereon, the writer says -
81 have seen, in a college amphitheatre in
this city, New York; the stomach of live
dog cut open, and a large metallic tube
sewed into il; then the dog was allowed to
crawl about, till he recovered from the i'm
mediate effects of the operation. One Of his
kidneys was then removed through an in
cision in his back; he was then operated
on a third time, and the spleen cut ont
how long after this last torture he lived, do
not know; he was abandoned to his fate in
order to watch the effects of the experiment.

- have seen, in another dog, the stomach
exposed and cut out; a pigs bladder was
then sewed to the psophagus. filed with wa

the external wound was then sewed up and

agony vomited up the contents of his arti-
fetal stomach and he was then dispatched
with the stiletto. This experiment lasted As
minutes.

cat laid bare, pinched, cut, and galvanized,
while the animal was alive, and not under

nerve in the rabbit divided, and the inaamma-
ti0n Of the ewes and face which follows; and
| have seen atrocities practised every year in
this city, upon these poor dumb creatures,
sickening and disgusting
In the address of President Bergh, before
the Legislature Of New York, we find the
following -
In the report Of the London Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals, whose
chief patroness is the Queen and published
in 1868, allusion is made to commission
appointed by that body to visit the French
Emperor, in order to lay befoe him a state
ment of the shocking barbarities then prae-
tised on dumb animals at Abort and else
where, and praying his interference"
In the same report is found the result Of
a prize competition offered by that Society
for the best essay on vivisectiOn, the successful
one having been awarded to Mr.. Fleming.
From this essay propose TO make some ex-
trccts Ii SAYS g We will now refer to the
recognized mode of carrying out the yiyisec-
tons at the imperial School of Abort. youch-

So let him lie and take his rest.

No need is there for him to weep
Close his male lips and let him sleep.
Alas his hands with blood are red,
Tbe mark Of Cain Is on his brow;
Peace come away, forgive him now,

My dear fellow, that was what wanted

Vt last, then, he'd been betrayed into a
feeling Of romance.
- Not at all, - he explained. Il couldn't

I'd destroyed them
Destroyed them -
Yes. What was the good of them?

docketed at my Office. But for Georgy's let

- You didn't tell her that ?''
No; | hadn't time. never arrived at
my explanation about the letters
s. Then, my dear Stone let me entreat YOU,
whatever you DO, don't give Miss Warren
your explanation about the letters '
" WHY shouldn't ?''
" Don't You see She thought You didn t
send back her letters for a sentimental rca-
son; because they were 70 dear 10 YOU that
YOU couldn't possibly part with them; and
so, in point Of fact, that little misunderstand-
ing of hers led to the re-establishment OF your
love affair."
- DO you think SOP he asked musingly.
- But if Georgy's made any mistake about
the matter, I think that I'm bound to set her
right"
Ny dear Stone, take my advice. for fear
of accident, set her right-If YOU must set
her right-after the wedding ceremony, not
before
Whether or not he took my advice I'm not
aware. He was married in due course to
Miss Warren and know that the lady was
often heard to declare subsequently she had
married the best husband in the world.
His pmcticality had answered. and it NAV
be good plan to convert love letters into
pipe-lights; still shrink from lavinr it down
as a rule that such course should he inyar-
iably adopted. Lovers must be lett IN that
respect to pursue their own devices and to do
what may seem right in their own eyes. 1t
must be owned. however. that the story Of
Stones love affair shows that there is same
thing to be said in favor of practicality.

tiTEGYNTN CRITICISED BY A CLrnGYMtN-
Rev T. ". Higgiusou writes to the IafepcadeHi; Z;
'sObserye any clergyman when he is chatting
with his Pensioners in the street. about the
coming election, or Deacon Jones rheumatism or
the price of apples His voice is animated, his
incubation variel, his gestures emphatic. Go
to hear him next Sunday and very possibly
his voice Is "a droue, his modulation a dead level,
ami his gesticulation that of windmill.
So accustomed are We to this difference that,
when any man is accused of talking in private
a. # he were preaching, he becomes an object Of
dismay TO all, and especially to his clerical
brethren. Did You ever hear me preach,
Charles - said Coleridge to Lamb, referring to
his brief early career in the pulpit. 'N-n-never
heard you do anything else was the unexpect-
ell reply of his stlmmering friend. 1t was al
ways considered the sharpest Of sarcasms.
In spite Of all the rules Of oratory, we fancy
tha. what most ministers need is TO make their
pulpit eloquence sound as natural and conyinc-
ing as their private talk. In nine cases out Of
ten their preaching needs to be more conversa-
tioual
Let them be as strong in logic as they please :
the more so the better. But, after all, most men
are TO be persuaded, rather than convinced ;
and what good does your logic do you unless
YOU have the ear Of those whom you seek I?
Judge Curtis, Of Boston, once lost case, when

gument, he indignantly said but that fellow
Hale somehow got SO intimate with the jury
that they were ready to give him anything he

am inclined, says Fanny Fern, to think
that sexton's business pays. In the first
place, he gets a conspicuous start in life, by
advertising on the outer wall Of the church
his perfect willingness to bury all the parish
in which he carries on bis cheerful business
a business which can never be dull with him.
because somebody is always dying, and some
body is always being born for the same end.
Then Sunday comes regularly once a week,
so that his - shop " never closes. and conse-
quently always wants his broom of reform.
Then the sexton has his little alleyiations
when he has had enough of the sermon ; lie
can make an errand out in the vestibule af-
ter imaginary bad children who might dis
turb the minister, or to see that the outer
door don't ereak or bang un-Sabbatically.
When he gets tired Of that, he can sit
comfortably down on his stool near the door,
which he can tilt back on its hind legs out of
view OF all critical wOrshipers Except me),
and then and there he can draw out thot ON
nipresent and national jack-knife, which is
his ever-present solace in every time of need
First-he can clean his nails, and pair them,

refractory edges Then be can commence
