Quarterly Meeting on next Sunday. In this
series of lectures, Professor Hirst has
shown himself eminently qualified to mark
out the line of conduct for young men to
| pursue, which, if adhered in the forma-
ton of character, cannot fail to be of
great benefit. The dangers to which young
men and boys are liable to in their associa-
tions and their intercourse with the world,
have been ably and truly portrayed, and
if young men could only be persuaded to
heed these warnings. better state of civil
izatioD and of society would be the happy
result We do most sincerely hope that
the efforts of one so confessedly able to
direct the minds and advise the action of
our young men, will not be without lasting
beneficial results. We can assure those
who have failed to hear these able lee
lures, old or young, that they have missed
| the rarest intellectual and most instructive
entertainments of the season.
The Register of last week says that at
| a meeting held in the Methodist Church on
the Monday evening previous, committee
1
School Directors, to be voted for on April
| 9th. The Editors of the Register evidently
did not attend the meeting at the n. E.
| Church on Monday evening, as no COM
mittee was appointed for any such pur-
pose, nor was the subject of the School
Directors mentioned, for the meeting was
a temperance meeting, and the committee
appointed was for an entirely different
purpose. The committee appointed was to
present names for the consideration of
/ subsequent meeting from which to choose
candidates for corporation officers. On
Friday evening the action. of the Monday
evening meeting was reconsidered, and a
meeting of the citizens for that purpose was
called for Saturday evening. The COM
mittee appointed was not to select the
candidates, but only to report the names,
and the subsequent meeting was to select
the candidates as they thought best.
- There is time for all things-a time
for laughing and time for tears; time to
pay your subscription to your county pa
per, and a time that will come for all Of us
when we will be called upon to "pass in
our checks and quit" Spring time; the good
time coming, which has been long on the
way, but hasn't arrived yet, and other times
"too tedious to mention But if you want
to be certain of always carrying the cor
rect time, probably your best plan would be
to call in at Furtwangler's and buy watch
from that new stock he has just brought
on; provided you have the wealth to spare.
Matilda Fletcher was greeted by a
good house on Friday night. She did not de-
liver her lecture on Farmers Wives and
Daughters" as announced, but preferred to
talk about ''The Heart of Man." which she
remarked was a very deceitful subject.
Her lecture was full Of good sense. After
her lecture on Friday evening, the Associa-
ton liked her well enough to engage her
evening. Her subject on that evening W as
MEN and Their Whims." A fair house
was out.
