Successful Teachers Meeting.

We have enjoyed, for several weeks
past, the best teachers meeting we ever
attended. The mode of conducting it
has been very simple-so simple as to be
worthy, perhaps, of public notice. The
leader has given, week beforehand, one
verse to each teacher for especial study
and comment. We meet on Wednes-
day evening" there is full attendance,
and all are ready. We begin promptly.
After brief invocation, the leader
calls upon the teacher to whom the
first verse was assigned, to read it and
make his remarks upon it. A dozen
teachers or more are seated costly around
long table. Each ones exposition, mod
estly given, shows unmistakable prepare
ton. One is reminded of college recita.
tions in the first term of the Freshman
year, when each boy is determined to win
the valedictory. After each teacher has
presented his views, the leader calls for
questions or further remarks, and with
little delay, passes to the next question.
Attention is closely held, and the hour
quickly passes. We have heard the best
thoughts of many minds. The practical
lessons come out by the way. Our hearts
cal professor, an almost perfect scholar
I'd teacher, instruct teachers class with
the most thorough preparation, and he did
nearly all the talking; here, it was done
by the teachers themselves. There the
instruction bore the color of one mind !;
here were blended the hues of many. The
object of a teachers meeting is to slim
ulate thought. This is best done by lay
ing the RESPONSE bility of vigorous think
ing, at least, for single verse, upon each
teacher. The spur of latent ambition
does no harm. Some only read the
choicest selections from the Sunday. School
Times or other periodicals bearing upon
their particular verse. There is variety
of talents, and culture, and manner, but
not one teachers contribution could be
spared. The leader makes preparation,
and comments, without delay, on any
verses which had been assigned to teach
ers who may be absent, 80 that there is no
break and no hesitation. He has noted
many things, but most of his thunder has
been discharged by others, and he has
need to add very little at the close. Nor
is there time, the hour has been crowded
with condensed thoughts. Where shall
we meet next Wednesday A few min
utes of cheerful social intercourse. What
a good teachers meeting we have en-.
joyed.-S. w. Boardman, DID,, in Sunday.

How to Cook Eggs.

Let US now make practical application
of the laws of albumen coagulation that
were demonstrated in the test-tube exper-
iment. The non-professional student may
do this at the breakfast fireside. The
apparatus required is a saucepan large
enough for boiling a pint of water-the
materials two eggs. Cook the first in the
orthodox manner by keeping it in boiling
water three and half minutes. Then
place the second in this same boiling
water; but, instead of keeping the sauce
pan over the fire, place it on the hearth and
leave it there, with the egg in it, about
ten minutes or more. A still better way
of making the comparative experiment is
to use for the second egg water-bath, or
balm marie of the French scientific cook
vessel immersed in boiling or nearly
boiling water, like a glue-pot, and there
fore not quite so hot as its source of heat.
In this case thermometer should be used,
and the water surrounding the egg be kept
at or near one hundred and eighty degrees
Fahrenheit. Time of immersion about
ten minutes or more. A comparison of
results will show that the egg that has
been cooked at temperature of more
than thirty degrees below the boiling
point of water is tender and delicate,
evenly 80 throughout, no part being hard
while another part is semi-raw and Shiny.
| said "ten minutes or more" because,
when thus cooked, prolonged exposure
to the hot water does no mischief; if the
temperature of one hundred and sixty
niue degrees is not exceeded, it may re-
main for half an hour; in fact, the per-
lection of cooking, according to my ex-
perience q always cook my own eggs
when | have the opportunity and can
spare the time), is attained when kept at
one hundred and sixty degrees about
twenty minutes. The one hundred and
eighty degrees is above named because
the rising of the temperature of the egg
itself is due to the difference between its
own temperature and that of the water,
and, when that difference is very small,
this takes place very slowly, besides which
the temperature of the water is, of course,
lowered in raising that OF the cold egg

ECHO SONG.

When dark and gloomy night Is clouding
Peace from Ger my earthly shed,
When deep shadows round are shrouding
Life below from light o'erhead
When heart is weary, earth is dreary,
Painting fears my bosom fill;
Say, OH say, sball now doubt him,
Or, though trembling, trust him still?
Echo" Trust him still"
When storms are gathering, tempests raging
Round this frail and lonely barque;
Warning voices, heard presaging
That the future will be dark;
Waves are streaming, pillows teeming
Ger the wreck, with saddening moan
Say, Oh say, shall then doubt him,
Or place trust in him alone?
Echo" In him alone"
When friends are cold, and hope forsaking,
Prosperous days removing far;
When earthly Joys are farewell taking,
Faint the light of friendships star;
To-day in sorrow-want tomorrow,
Future hid by clouds above;
Say, Oh say, shall now doubt him,
or, undaunted, trust his love"
Echo" Trust his love-"
When life ia closing. death ia nearing,
Grief's day mngling with the past;
When the heavenly skies are clearing,
And earth's shades are fleetng fast,
From bright regions seraph legions
Come TO bear me to that shore
Say. oh say, shall be with him,
Praising him forevermore
Echo" Forevermore."

THE WILD BIRDS SONG.

What is II that the wild bird says7
Come listen 10 his song
"sweet, love is OF the summer time,
And summer Ia not long.
1.-THE blossom fades upon the bough
Before the month OF June,
And when at last the red rose comes,
She tarries but moon.
Come while the earth ia glad and green,
Wen build our nest together,
For love ia Of thesummer time,
And cannot bide foul weather."
o sweetheart listen, listen WELL
Unto the wild birds song;
"Sweet, love Is Of the summer time
And summer is not long"
The May ia white upon the hedge,
Why should we longer tarry?
when hedge-rows bloom and wild birds nest,
Then is the time TO marry. -Centurt

Ok the other side of the street there
may be some poor soul whom all the town
shuns as a vagabond, who since his birth
has fought desperately and sometimes in
vain against inherited weaknesses, fevers
in the blood and brain, which drive him
to idleness, rags, hunger, crime. God
knows the man, though we turn our back
upon him, 1t is not the pride of place,
of righteous well-doing, of spotless gar
ments that never were tempted into the
mire, that honors it is the man who has
fought faithfully against the heavier odds.
Many poor, despised wretch, forced into
pauper's grave by circumstance or some
faint of blood, has heard the words,
"Well done, good and faithful servant

crime pays, because the balance sheet of
Prisons shows a few thousands to the credit
of felon labor? We are aware that it is con-
tended that prisoners should be kept at
work because labor is conducive to health
and reform. and that il is IN the line OF NOR
atty and humanity 70 keep felons en-
ployed. IL the logic is applicable to Prison
life, it is equally appropriate outside
of Prison walls. If id;eness within
Prisons exerts baleful influence,
what is to be said OF it beyond Prison bars
and cells? Is it the duty of the State to
legislate so as to keep its criminals emplyed,
If thereby its honest, law abiding citizens
are compelled to be idle? Take for instance
such an industry as the manufacture of pork
barrels. There are, we will say. two estab-
lishments-one within the Prison walls and
one outside. The Prison shop employs say
one hundred felons-murderers, incendis-
ries. horse thieves, highway robbers, burg
lars and so on through the list of criminals.
The other establishment employs hun
dred honest men, who are obeying
the laws and striving to support their
The latter establishment can not make
a pork barrel for less than 81, but the Prison
shops can produce the article at 10 cents.
What is the inevitable result? The honest
labor shop outside of the Prison walls must
shut mp. Crime triumphs, and the books
show that the State makes money. But
does the State make money by such an ope-
ration? A hundred honest men are thrown
out of employment. They must take up the
line of march and seek employment else
where. They are frequently designated as
'tramps," and il will be miracle if many
of them do not eventually find their way to
prison, to make barrels for contractors and
add few dollars to the revenues of the
State Is there any remedy for such
a condition of things? We think there is.
What? II felons must be kept at work for
their health hire them out TO contractors at
prices which will put final stop to this
crushing and unjust competition with
honest labor. Take the trades. ascertain the
c1rren. rate of wsges. and then require con-
tractors TO pay spproximating prices. As
long as able bodied felons are hired out for a
third or the half of the price honest men
must have for their labor to live, just so long
will a cruel injustice be inflicted on honest
labor. 1t may not be possible to obtain full
prices for felon labor, as compared with the
labor of honest men, but We believe it to be
practical to come much nearer it than is
now done.

can extricate him from his posi-
ton. He seeks to supplant men who have
done their duty we'll by putting in their
places those who are untried. hoping there
by to make few places for those who swear
by the Republican party. In this, as in all
other matters of public concern. the sESTI-
sEL seeks the public welfare. The Demo
cratic party is responsible for the manage
ment Of the Benevolent Institutions. 1t
has shown itself to be eminently
qualified to meet every requirement, and
while it should see to it that
Governor Porter is not permitted to mar
the efficiency of the management, which he
himself commends, in order to crafty par
tisan purposes, il should be equally careful
about legislation which may be calculated
to bring about even more unfortunate COM
plications. 1t is to be hoped that wise
counsels will prevail in Democratic DELHI
erations, and that only such legislation as
will guard the management from hasty and
inconsiderate change will find favor with
the Legislature.
