Compositions.

One Of the many different ways in
which composition can be made in
structive and interesting to young
pupils is q description Of some suitable
picture, bunch of flowers or any SINH
lar object. Let the teacher select some
picture suited to the capacity of the
class, hold it before them, asking them
to notice carefully all they can see,
and be ready to tell what they can
about it when you ask for information
AS soon as you think they have had
sufficient time for observation, hear
what they may have to say upon the
subject. Do not think when one has
described any particular portion of it
that that is the only thing necessary.
Have different ones give their version
of it, thereby getting as many original
ideas as possible, and compare one
with another. Often when pupil has
described any particular portion or
expressed all opinion, ask why he
thinks as he does, thus exercising the
power of reasoning more than would
otherwise be done.
After the picture has been fully de-
scribed, have summary; then give
Iut pupllS d CcIUd ttulC III WllCu W
reproduce the given description, or in
other words, write composition about
the picture. When they have fin
ished require them to read; then criti-
else their writing, spelling, capitals,
punctuation, arrangement, etc. II it
is not desirable to have all the class
write at once, let q portion write and
the rest have some exercise in oral
language until the others have finished
writing. eQGA~ oHf-15
With little good management and
skill on the part of the teacher, con-
siderable enthusiasm will be mani
tested by the pupils.
They are not only being taught how
60 express their thoughts correctly,
but their different faculties are being
cultivated to greater or less extent,
especially the power OF observation,
and we may very often appeal to their
esthetical nature, thereby cultivating
taste for the beautiful. M. I'll.

DEAR SIR: Allow me a little space
in your paper to illustrate the purpose
of the school exhibition, which is to
take place on Thursday, December
18th. 1t is already known that the
money realized by the affair is to be
used for the acquisition of such appar-
atus which the city is not by law COM
PEELED to furnish the public schools.
had the pleasure of seeing an in
voice of physiological apparatus Or
dered by DR.. Lucky, and which have
been imported from Germany. They
consist of the most important organs
of the human body, as eye, ear, heart,
lungs, liver, brain, arms, fingers, legs,
ETC., etc. The different parts are
neatly prepared of gypsum, colored to
show the relative functions of those Or
gans; in fact, they are sufficient for
fair demonstration of physiology as
well as anatomy. ..
Many of the readers may perhaps
think it unnecessary to teach those
sciences in our schools, as in former
days they were only taught to medical
students, but they are mistaken; they
are as necessary as almost any of the
elementary branches of study Why
should our children be instructed in
the topography of the earth and the
heavens without knowing the topo-
graphy of themselves? Why should
they be acquainted with the functions
of everything else without Knowing
the functions of their own bodily or.
gans? Had those sciences but been
taught in public schools twenty years
ago, people could nowadays no more
be humbugged by an army of quack
doctors, which is by no means rare
yet, even among the intelligent class.
The apparatus will be great addi-
tion to our schools, of which we can
be proud of being among the best in
the State. The bill of invoice amounts
to about $3.50, which sum is expected
to be realized by the coming school
exhibition; and this should be slim
ulous to everybody to go there, more
particularly so, as the exercises of the
pupils will give ample satisfaction to
the audience. DR.. j. KURTz.

VENICE
BY c. II. GRATTAN.

Again upon the lips of men
II passes a familiar word;
Venetia!-poetry of names,
Sweetest and saddest earth has heard.
Once noblest, too; for she has shone
Single and lustrous as Il star
Nor always one portending woe,
Or lurid with the reek of war.
Bright through the far receding past
The radiance of her greatness glows,
As from the mirage of sunlit seas
A path of light ascending goes;
And glorioue even in her fall,
She shines as when in Western skies
The blooming purple faints and fades
And all the golden glory dies.
Grand were the old barbaric days,
When in her regal splendor throned,
She ruled light-efulging sphere
By tributary Kingdoms zoned,
The Cleopatra of the earth.
She reveled then while on her breast
rhe wealth of all the Orient glowed,
And blinded the adering West.
Noble those days when in her pride,
She brook'd no bridegroom but the sea,
And in its rough EN- braces caught
The fatal longing tu be free;
Fat II since despotisms yet
Shrank from that light of later times,
Or saw and hated what they saw
And held 1t heaviest of crimes.
saddest spectacle of earth
That queenly brow the common scorn,
Its grandeur wholly passed away,
Its beauty utterly forlorn.
A desolation as of death
Has stricken to that royal heart;
What but memory is her fame!
Where in the present is her part!
And for the future, years will die
And years on years; revolving moons
VIII gild her lions shadowy wings
And BILE id her still lagunes;
But never VIII the hour return
That yields her back her ancient reign,
And never will the nations bend
In homage at her feet again.
The past is past; no second prime,
No second summer beauty knows;
And she, the fallen, the forlorn,
Has but her memories and her woes.
No CLEANS of freedom stir her heart,
No visions of recovered power,
Only her beauty cannot die,
And it and sorrows are her dover.

"FleHr 1T OUT LIKE pa MO MA DO"

The story is told of a laughter of a
prominent person, now N the lecture
field, which is peculiarly interesting
and suggestive of unconscious wisdom.
A gentleman was invited to the lee
turer's house to tea. Immediately on
being seated at the table The little girl
astonished the family circle and the
guests by the abrupt question, "Where
is your wifeY' Now the gentleman
having been recently separated from
the partner of his life, was taken so
completely by surprise tlat he stam-
mered forth the truth: "I don't know"
"Don't KNOW" replied the infant ter
rble, "why don't you know?' Find
ing that the child persisted in her in
terrogatories despite the mild reproof
of her parents, he concluded to make
a clean breast of the matter and have
it over at once. So he said, with
calmness which was the result of in
ward expletives: "Well, we don't live
together; we think as we can't agree,
we had better not" He stifled a
groan as the child began again, and
darted an exasperated look at her par
ents. But the little torment would
not be quieted until she exclaimed:
Cant agree! then why don't you
fight it out, as pa and m do ?" "Ven-
geance is mine," laughed the visitor,
after "pa" and 'ma" exchanged looks
of holy horror, followed 10y the inevit-
able roar.

Miss La Grange, editor of the Santa
Barbara Press, has been swindled by
the omnipresent vendor of pens, and
thus moralizes on the subject:
To buy anything you do rot want,
for charity. and then find it aswindle,
is furthermore unsatisfactory, all things
considered, than to give what you give
freely, with no pretense of receiving
an equivalent. Our experience with
fountain pens" has led us by thorny
ways to this conclusion. They Were
brought to us by a man with q family,
to support on wooden leg and "foun-
tain pens" Perhaps he drew on his
imagination for the family, but the leg
was patent, and very poor patent too,
and mechanically we fell to estimating
the number of pen-holders it would
make, as we jingled our pence in our
pocket. They were the last we had,
but our sympathy is always with those
who earn precarious living by the
pen, and we invested, uncomfortably
conscious that instead of lending our
last mite to the Lord, we'd only been
buying some pens; and that conscious
ness became intensified as we attempt
ed to use them. The amount of phys
ical force required to make a mark
was quite exhaustive, and they dis
tributed the ink in playful jets that
were very fountain-like. We resolved
next time to give what we had out
right and save the wear and tear of
temper.
