Y NJ c. Alb. F. Jacobs, ESQ, the 50. call
ed SUNDAY School man of the West" spoke
| On the subject of Sunday Schools at the rooms
| of the Young Mems Christian Association last
evening, before large audience that filed all
| the seats and would have occupied every avail
able spot if longer notice had been given.
Mr. Jacobs is very fluent speaker very dis
tinct but at the same time very rapid in his ut
terance.
Mr. Jacobs thought we could learn good
lesson from the Catholics, who beneath their
Journalism concealed many cordial truths which
nave enabled them to grow in numbers until
they had become the most numerous religious
BODY in the world. He showed how the diff-r-
ent religious denominations in Chicago had
placed in the hands of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association the distribution of tracts, the
distribution of funds and food to the needy,
and they succeeded in doing what the churches,
as distinct denominations, and the benevolent
sc cieties had not been able to accomplish. He
spoke of their daily prayer meetings, which for
eleven years had averaged from 100 to $50 at
tandants, aud their Saturday meeting of Sun
day School teachers where as many as $50
would be present at a time, many coming from
a distance SO great was their interest.
The topic for the Sabbath lesson was brought
up at this Saturday meeting and would sug.
gest from each one SO many different ideas.
and good ones too, that teacher was able
to thoroughly engross the attention of his class
the next day. He believed in this uniformity
OF lesson system, and he thought bat by 1872
o., ha aa1a
School in the world taking the same text for
their Sabbath School lesson. He thought that
10 giving out a Bible lesson you could not ex-
pect a little boy eight years old to learn the
fourteen verses that were given out to classes
of adults, but the way the teacher should DO
should be this: Take the core of the verses, say
the seventh verse, and expatiate on it, thus in
teresting the smallest child, and gradually ad-
vance and expand your illustration so that the
intermediate class who had learned say from
the 4th to the 9th We, SEES. would be interested,
and SO continue until you have embraced the
whole fourteen verses, thus commanding the
attention of the adults. The more you study
truth the more you will want to know about it.
Tell boy to read Bible through and he will
say he can't. Pick out an interesting story for
him to read, like the story Of Joseph, and he
will WANT to know more. Mr.. Jacobs believes
in good music as an aid to the Sunday School.
He described the method of conducting a
school in Chicago. We have not space to do
Justice to Mr.. Jacobs most interesting lecture,
which commanded The closest attention, or to
his metaphors, which were apt and striking
One of his metaphors was this: Speaking Of
dividing sentence for Sunday School les
son, he said God did not cut up his truths as
they used to divide sausages in New England,
by tying up link every six inches.

COws.--A writer in the Maine Farmer re-
commends that farmers should not keep too
many cows, and cites we'll attestcd instance
in which two cows, by having the same guam
tity of food given them as had been previously
given to four, had yielded considerably more
butter, cheese. etc, than had been before OBJ
tanned from double the number--that is, that
the two upon extra feed had produced more
than the four.

The BLACKBIRD-When blackbird once
learns tune he never forgets it, nor any part Of
it once know bird that could whistle "Pol.
ly Hopkins" with wonderful accuracy. His
owner sold him, at the same time making the
purchaser acquainted with the birds favorite
tune. Az soon as the gentleman got him home,
he hung up the bird, and going to the piano
struck up "Polly Hopkins" The birds master,
however, introduced parts into the tune that he
had never heard before; so, after listening
awhile he began Kissing, futtering his wings,
and otherwise siguifying his dstate for the whole
left off playing, and then the bird opened his
version Of "Polly Hopkins" nor would he ever
listen with patience to any other version.
This same blackbird after staying in the ser.
vice OF the aforementioned gentlemen for two
years. was adopted by a serious family, where
polly Hopkins" and all such profanity were
sedulously avoided. Whenever poor Joe" the
birds aame) attempted to strike up the old tune,
a cloth wAs thrown over the cage, and he was
silenced. The family consisted Of ali old lady
and her two daughters, and every night, at z
o'clock, prayers were read aud the Evening
Hymn" sung, and Joe, who was an ebedient
bird, ind anxious to conform to tho habits Of the
house, speedily learned the tune and regularly
whistled il while the old lady and her daughters
sang it, This went on for six or seven years,
when the mother died and the daughters sepa.
rated. and Joe, now an aged blackbird, fell into
new hands, but TO his dying day he never gave
up the Evening Hymn Punctually AZ the
clock struck he tuned up. and went through it
with the gravity OF parish clerk.

The Internal Rerenue.

The odious character of the Internal
revenue has been greatly aggravated by
the last decisions ol the Commssione!
on the following points says humorist;
Parties using paper collars must use
them from the original packages, tha. Is
from the box in which they have been
purchased; and three.cent stamp must
be attached to each one when put on
When the collar becomes soiled, and Is
turned with the clean side out. it must
receive another three-cent stamp, and
must also be conspicuously stamped with
the word turned Boxes when cmptied
cannot be used second time, but must
be destroyed in the room where emptied
and the assessor furnished with certif
icate of the fact. If thrown out at the
window or carried out in the coal scuttle
or wash-tub, such boxes will be subject
10 export duty. Boot-blacks are required
to use their blacking just as they find j!
when the box is opened, adding nothing
whatever to it. The art of splitting in
the box and smearing the contents with
the brush constitutes the boot-black Il
mixer, n rectifer or manufacturer Of
blacking, and he must pay the manuiac'
turer's license. Each boot blacked for
which the sum of five cents is paid by
the wearer, must receive at the expense
of the boot black, four and three-quart-
ers cent stamp. All Englishmen by tho
name of Hale who are engaged in the
business of pronouncing their name with
out the ii. shall be considered manuiactur
ers of ale, and must pay the license ofal!
brewers and distillers. Parties engaged

proceeds of the highest prize in future
drawing of the lottery, must be assessed
twenty per cent. on the amount thus de-
rived and invested, which twenty per
cent. shall be paid in gold.

that the cat did not come, the animal re-
