NATURAL HISTORY ASSOCIATION. - The
meeting of the Natural History association was
made very interesting last evening by remarks
from Mr. Geo. S. Meeker of Washington terri
tory, who talked for an hour or more about the
country around Puget Sound where the climate
Is so mild that he had with him over fifty varie-
ties of flowers, many of them wild, picked in the
open air on the third day of December, where
only about five inches Of snow falls during the
whole winter, grass grows green nearly every
month in the year, ard plenty of good farming
land is to be had for the taking He described
the fine harbors, the fertile river valleys, large
timber, the coal and iron beds, the fruit and
wheat crops, the salmon fisheries, and other
characteristics of the region, in very interest
ing way, answering questions relating TO the
manner of reaching the territory, the opportuni.
tics for man of small means, etc., in manner
for which his seventeen years of residence there
rendered him fully competent.
Prof. Bushee presented some specimens Of
mineral, and offered a few remarks, and Mrs. F.
NJ Baker read a lengthy extract from "Wal-
lace's Natural Selections" Contributions to
the museum were made as follows: Red tailed
hawk, W. Frank Bush; young duck, S. G
Cooper; very large egg and part of the skin OF
Il bird, Manuel Santalves; fern impressions and
specimen sent from slab used in an old build
ing built by the Spaniards in Florida, Thomas
H. Gage.
THE CONCERT last evening by the combined
choirs of the Catholic churches, was we-con-
Quoted and successful entertainment The pro-
gramme opened with an organ voluntary by
Mr. G. ?. Morrison, organist of st. Paul's
church, and embraced fine selections from
masses by Mozart, Haydn and Weber, inter
spersed with solos, duets, trios, &c., by Cursch-
man, Campana, Verdi and others, all of which
were creditably performed, and received
with enthusiastic demonstrations by the
audience characteristic Irish song,
Cruiskeen Lawn" sung by Miss Mary
Burt, was worthy OF special mention, as
was also stirring song entitled "Ern shall be
free" by Mr.. NJ. Clare, both of which were re-
peated. The closing number was potpourri of
national airs, for the performance of which a
large chorus of children reinforced the adult
choirs, aus smenting their number to one hun
dred and fifty voices. This was very spirited
performance and not only the power, but the
fine blending of the voices, and the accuracy
with which they obeyed the baton Of their con-
ductor, were very remarkable. The selections
were "Kelers American Hymn, "Star Spangled
Banner" solo by Maurice Power, "Harp of
Tara" and "St. Patrick's Day" Mr.. Murray,
of St Johns church, held the baton during the
evening, and Miss Norah Reedy presided very
acceptably at the piano.

GRAND CoNCERT.-The concert announced
for next Monday evening promises to be one of
the best given in Worcester for a long time
The well known ability of the director, DR.. Will
cox, is a sufficient guarantee that the perform
ancc will be one of real excellence. He brings
with him the full choir of the Immaculate Con-
ception of Boston, which he has trained with
great care and skill. The "Stabat Mater of
Rossin is one of their spccialties and those who
wish to hear that grand production of the old
maestro executed in an artistic manner will do
well to attend the concert. The "Stabat Mater
will form the first part of the programme
and a choice selection of classic music will be
given in the second part. Mrs. Smith, Miss
Adde Ryan, and Mr.. Farley (tcnor) are already
well known in our city, and Mr.. P. H. Powers is
such favolite in Boston, that we are sure his
fine style of singing will be much admired The
concert is to be given in behalf of literary So
ciety in Holy Cross college, and we hope to see
it well attended.

theory proved thereby; but Virgil term

these unite in declaring the mutability
of woman's ideas, and from this theory
alone some opponents of wOman's rights
have declared that the gentle sex, if il
should secure the right of suffrage,
would not use it reasonably, but would
be more apt to use its influence for that
which pleased the feelings, rather than
for that which appealed to the reason.
This argument may be fallacious, and
it is only advanced as one of the class
urged by a certain school of philosophers
against woman suffrage. The women
may dispute the premiss, and prove in
this city, rs they intend to, that they
know how to use the ballot to advantage.

What il Death
By IsoLA WORTH.

What is Deathe I've asked my waiting spirit
This vital question o'er and o'er;
What is Death that mortals quake and fear il.
Aud cling SO closely to the earthly shore
Is it not a folding of the weary hands
In peaceful rest across the aching heart
4 silent breaking Of the earthly bands?
4 gently whispered summons 10 departs
What is Deaihs Isit a monster fierce.
With hidcons form and mien?
OH five could but for "A moment pierce
The clouds which gather o'er the great un-
seen,
When the dread messenger appears in sight
We would welcome him with outstretched
arms,
Seeing beyond this life beauteous light,
Where we shall rest, secure from all that
harms.
There is a solemn grandeur in the thought
That Immortality VIII some day fold
Her spotless robe round us, and we shall float
Ou; with the ebhing tide TO the untold,
Mysterious, grand and bOundless land
From whence no one returns; and we
Alone shall float, until the outstretched hand
Ofnever falling Love Divine We see.
There shall wc rest, and eye hath never seen,
Nor ear hath heard, nor yet the mind
OF man hath e'cr conceived, the wondrous
sheen
Ofjoys eternal which the Father of mankind
Hath laid up in that blessed spirit land
For those who love Him here and well we
know
That hight, nor depth, nor any earthly band
shall keep us from the Mighty one who loves
Us so!
