Teachers Association.

The regular monthly meeting of the Teach
ers Association was held at Reception Hall last
evening, Vice President Taylor presiding.
The record of attendance of the public schools
for December was read, showing avery large
falling off.
A reading Of two exercises was given by three
scholars from the first grade of grammar
schools. Pupils read selections at sight
The Rsv. DR.. Smaller then delivered very
able address upon Morals and Manners. The
doctor said morals and manners to be taught
properly must be taught differently to different
pupils. This is On account of their diverse
characters First, consider what you want to
DO in order to teach morals and manners. Have
some definite aim. The artist has a conception
of what he wants to portray before he paints q
picture. Teachers have their material peculiar
in its character IL consists of 5000 school chill
dren of complex natures which are to be
moulded into good men and women. Lay the
foundations 80 that the characters formed shall
show the substantial material of which they are
composed.
In children the physical nature should be
trained. This has been neglected. Girls with
round shoulders have graduated from the High
School. their forms bent, thus impairing the
full power of their brain. Second the intellec-
nature should receive careful attention. A man
may be high y intelligent and yet he may be
cursei by his moral nature. 1t is here great
care must be exercised. Children are gathered
from different families. In some the moral
nature has b en neglected, in Others trained.
How to meet these extremes and be prepared
to give instruction is the question. If your pn-
pills do good, or obsy, simply from fear, you
have only accomplished what master can do
With his horse and have lost sight of your aim
Honesty, chastity, nobility of mind and pur-
pose, should bs held up to scholars as of first
importance and they should be encouraged in
their appreciation of these. Get the weight of
good influence on your side. With half dozen
honest and reliable pupils in a school, with pa
thence aud labor, in ten months there should
not be.more than two or three unreliable schol.
ars in it, Make your pupils understand that
it is most honorable to confess wrong. Keep
an ideal before the school and work patiently
to realize it as far as possible. Be truthful
Let your scholars see you do about as you say
you will; let them feel you are their friend. Be
cheerful. Gain confidence. Dwell upon the
fact they ought to do right, ought to be honest,
manly aad womsn1y aud they will carry away
the idea that good manners are productive of
good morals.

Two Pictures,

In Hale's widow may be seen large
painting by Stauwood entitled ga Black Ball
Packet entering New York Harbor." The old
G. III Marshall & Co., "Black Ball'' line of
Liverpool packets, prior to the day of iron
screw steamers, were the f,voiite vessels in
which the wealth and culture of the New
World visited the Old. Even after the intro
duction of tie sde-wheelers the "Black Ball''
was popular conveyance, because, for speed
and safety the line had attained the same
reputation the Cunard holds nowadays. The
last packet of the line was taken off this past
year. IL was called "Black Bail" because it's
distinguishing mark was large back ball
painted on the fore-top-sail.
The picture represents the noble ship crowd.
ing on all sail SO as to avoid the approaching
storm and get past Sandy Hook and safely into
New York harbor before the easterly gale
strikes. 1t is this peculiar condition Of the
atmosphere that causes the vessels in the
vicinity to appear half enveloped in fog, and
the sun to be struggling through the mist,
while all about the water and ship the weather
is clear aud the waves glisten in the sum
light. The ship bows gracefully to the breeze and
is said to bs correct portrait of favorite
skip Of this favorite line. The whole picture
is fall of life and draws crowds of spectators
second picture may be seen in
Schum achef's window. 1t is pond in a
wood by Miss Harmon. A correspondent
speaking Of it refers in high terms to the
surrounding OF the pond, but thinks so thick a
cluster of trees in the background should
reveal more air and light behind them, and the
foliage display more elasticity He considers
the picture however as whole shows good

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
SUPERB BALLETS,

SUPERB BALLETS.
The London correspondent Of the Dramatic
News writing of the ballets in "Lo Poule aar
Oeufs d'Or," at the Alhambra, says: The first,
that of the Birds, is the most superb. The
stage is set 10 the form of monster gilded
bird-cage, or aviary. The King of the Peacocks
enters, surrounded by his court with spreading,
swaying tails; next follow all the various birds
Of the air in gorgeous fsathered dresses. There
are in all 300 beautiful girls engaged, picked
from all Corners for their handsome faces, fire
Limbs, and perfect training as dancers. These
well-trained corps. 10 soft and many colored
plumage, advance aud retire in groups. They
dance in and out, road aud round, and make
believe to bite, coo. aud fight. Tbs ensemble is
delicioUslg quaint. A second ballet is called
the Unon of Nations. Companies Of girls, in
fancy costumes of all the prlHcipal countries of
the world, troop in, bearing aloft thair ban ner
and ensign. Advancing toward the footights
each company dances few steps to the naIlOn-
al air Of the land they are intended to repre-
sent; and the writer says, he was pleased to
observe when the bevy of beauties blessed in
striped bodices and trunks of pale blue silk,
with silver stars. and proudly waving the flag
of the Uaited States footed 1t to the tune OF
Yankee Doodle, a great shout of recogniti on
aud admiration rent the vast theatre.

Journal Of Saturday:
The unloading of the "Christmas Stocking
at ST. Catharine's Hall Thursday evening,
brought out the friends of this excellent school
10 good force 10 defiance of the snow storm.
The stocking itself was an enormous affair,
made of scarlet flannel, adorned with letters
aod embems in white. 1t was unoaded by
the Bishop of the Diocese, whose apt and hlici-
tous remarks added much to the general hilari-
ty Its contents proved well adapted to the va
rious needs of the school. A large map of the
United States mounted on an easel, books for
the library, magnetic globe, pictures of real
value for the art studies belonged to the list of
articles having educated value. Then came an
endless variety of things Ornamen tai and use
fnl, vases, candesticks of brass and brouze,
brackets, statuettes, chairs, little rosewoo d
table, thermometer to measure the warmth OF
the pupils love for study and 80 on. Last but
not least, toe top of the stocking was adorned
with fringe of envelopes containing green
backs which as the Bishop remarked are now
"good as gold" Many of these we're sent by
friends of the school, themselves unable to bs
present. One from Mr.. Kanada of Lewiston
gave rise to a pleasant turn in the address,
Coming in company with go many others 1t
could not be sty led forlorn gift to lost cause,
though Canada now seems to be all for Lorne.
The little girls, the very little ones, collected
nearly five dollars for the purchase of Worces-
ter's Unabridged, showing their idea of solid
literature and sound learning.
Letters accompanied many of the money con-
trlbutions, CHEEKY in tone and full of good
wishes for st. Catharine's. After cake and
coffee the entertainment closed with dance in
the school room, Mr.. Peakes furnishing the
music The whole evening was heartily Gu
joyed by the visitors, many OF whom came from
Waterville, Portland, Hallowell and Gardiner,
and also by members Of the school. No one
present could help joining heartily in the wish
es expressed by donors of one or two gifts
"May the future of st. Catharine's be assured. u

SOuth G0rha mn

The principal point of interest just now at
this pleasant lttle hamlet, seems to be the
singing school which is being held by Mr.
Elijah Owen of Buxton, whose reputation as a
music teacher is well established wherever he
is known. The school numbers about thirty
five pupils, of all ages and classes in life from
the "parson" down to the verest child.
Mr.. Owen is so thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of song himself, that class under his
tuition could hardly be anything but earnest
aud enthusiastic in the cultivation of one of
the sweetest gifts that God has given to man
the gift of song. Mr. owen has also very
prosperous and successful schools at Dayton,
Union Falls, and another at Saco.
An old folks concert 10 connection with the
singing school and under the direction of the
master is 10 contemplation for the evening OF
Jan. 21st. and will be held at the South
