Met Saturday, January 8, in the high
school room. Superintendent Wharton
called the association to order.
On account of the bad state of the
weather, the attendance was not as large
as it should have been, several who were
to take part being absent. Prof Davis
favored the association with talk on
physiology. He thought the reason
this and it kindred subjects, botany,
zoology, ETC., were not more generally
taught, was for the want Of time. He
thought this might be obviated by Civ
ing it a place on the general program as
general exercise.
Mr.. Joseph Hill gave g short talk on
percentage and its applications with
some of the best methods of teaching
the same. He regarded this subject as
the practical part of arithmetic and
would teach it with all the relation:
between base, rate. percentage, amount
and difference. Not "a abstract princi
pies, but the practical applications o.
one to the other.

petitive examinations made and received

LITTA's HIsToRY.-Miss Marie Litta,
the great primG donna, who will appear
at Bancroft hall in this city on Saturday
evening, January 18th, was born on the
first day of June, 1856, in Bloomington,
Illinois. Her parents were natural
musicians. AT the age of five years,
Litta gave concerts under the direction
of her father, and at ten years she sang
in Chicago, Cleveland and New
York, creating great enthusiasm.
Marie gave farewell concert in her
native city before her departure for
Europe, October 25, 1874. At this time
she was the most advanced pupil thai
ever left America. Sir Jules Benedict
the teacher of Jennie Lind, pronounced
her voice marvellous. Under Madam
Virdot, of Paris, she mastered, in one
year, the operas, Lucia, Mignon, Som.
nambula, Figaro, and the Barber Of
Seville.
Mr. Mapleson soon after engaged heI
for a season of opera in London. Her
vocalization seemed perfect, her success
most emphatic. Under Madam La
grange, the greatest teacher of the age
Mile. Litta reached the zenith of dram.
attic and musical art, and set all Europe
in blaze.

HISTORICAL AND FINANCIAL STATE
MENT:
The idea OF a new church is an old
one-as old probably as the old church.
The old church in its time represented
as much sacrifice as the new one, and
met the need as well. But it was small
and looked towards expansion. As long
ago as January II, 1872, the society voted
that a new and better building was
needed" and appointed a committee to
consider the matter. February % this
committee reported that 1t WAS practi-
cable to erect a good buildiag at a
cost not exceeding $12, Geo." The com.
mittee were instructed to canvas the mat
ter further. But the panic" came the
next year, and the church had a long
and doubtful struggle for life. When
Mr.. Shannon came, in the autumn OF
1875, his first care was for the spiritual
temple, bat he had in mind also the
material temple as near necessity
When he laid out these grounds he left
| a beautiful square, surrounded by trees
'tfor the new church" In the CORES
pondence which led to my coming, "a
new building in the near future" was
one of the suggestions. When I came
however, found they had repaired the
old church at quite an expense, and
hoped to make it answer for three Oh
four years more.
How the purpose to build this church
arose am unable TO say. 1t was full
grown when first revealed TO me. It wa
not my work, though it was my wish
I had never mentioned the thing in pub
| lie and rarely in private, but before
| was aware / found the church fully re
solved to build. The committee found
| the times ripe, and the subscription
more than doubled their expectations
Several plans of churches were submit

seems strange that the bright face
has gone ont from your door; and
that going about your vocations
you never can meet, in the familiar
ways around the hopeful presence,
nor hear the pleasant voice. The
letters from aSSdistant country are
well, and you make much of them;
but no page that ever pen travelled
over can look at you like the kindly
familiar tace; like the glistening eye.
Still, you go out cheerfully on the
DAY which brings the Australian or
Indian mail; and you learn gradually
that they can do without you, can
stand well on their own feet now,
have got out of your charge and care.
You have let them 60. Perhaps it

him a dose of his own medicine, skill
fullv done. Is he deceitful? Pity
him for his weakness, treat him as
one who is born with physical de-
feet, but put your wits to work-it
is a bad case. 1t is well not to be too
tame. Men do not waste their pow
der on hens and barnyard fowls ;

A quail is a good model for wife
neat and trim, with pretty, swift
way about it and just little caprlc'
ious. Never let yourself become an
old story; be just little uncertain
Another important tact is, don't be
too good; it hurts his feelings and
becomes monotonous. Cultivate
pleasant voice, so that this very NOR
tai man may have his conscience
prick him when he is in jeopardy; its
pleasant ring will haunt him much
more than would a shrill one. 1t Is
hard to do all this, besides taking
care of the babies and looking after
vexatious household cares, and smil-
ing when he comes home, but it seems
necessary. "To be born a woman is
to be born martyr" says a husband
who tor ten years has watched, in
amazement; his wife treading the
wine press of ner existence. 1t is
pitiful sight to some men. But if the
wife does not make study of these
things, the happy will, to steal away
the honor from his silver hairs when
he is full of years and the father of
sous and daughters. Al the same
time, guidewife, keep from trying
any Of these things on any other
mortal man but your own. These
rules are only evolved in order to
keep a husband" The poor, weak
