AN EVENING LECTURE
A sTEREOPTlcoN EXHIBITION THAT
is INTERESTING.

nothing ever thought of has been more
helpful to the higher moral and intellectual
life Of children than the stereopticon lee
ture. Beneficial alike to teacher and pupil
familiarizing the young mind with scenes
that are dear to us, yet could not be made
familiar in any other way; stimulating the
teacher TO fresh flights of descriptive fancy,
what wonder that our audience room is full
this evening, and that the dear little faces
upturned to meet me, filled with enthusi-
assn, are more of a reward than the IS tick
cts which we have sold' If that little boy
on the right will keep his little feet
quiet, it will add so much more to
the pleasure of his little companions.
Now, dear children, the gas will be turned
out, and You must not be alarmed, for you
know good children are just as safe in the
dark as in the light. What little girl is
that cryingi Susie Brown Well, that is
too bad, Susie Now, what little boy is pull.

find out which little boy is so naughty
No one will acknowledge il, | see, which
proves that he is quite ashamed Of him
self and will never do it again. Now we
will have the light out again. if YOU please.
The first picture we shall see, dear little
ones, viii he-SaAmy Dexter, was afraid
you were the one who pulled Susie Browns
hair, and now you can come right down in
front, away from all your little companions,
and Susie can have an opportunity to enjoy
the pictures. Don't cry any more, Susie.
Sammy is a naughty boy and won't see the
pretty pictures half as nicely as you will
Oh, no, you won't see them "a darned sight
better Sammy. That isn't pretty way
to express yourself, and the farther away
you get from picture the better it looks,
you know so you are being properly pun
tshed for your naughtiness. But / don't
wish you TO go home, Samuel. We are 10

you will remain and he better boy. Very
well, then, Samuel. YOU may 20, and |
shall be obliged to ask Miss Corinthan to
leave her little charges and go home with
Sammy, for he lives in Roxbury and his
parents were coming i'm for him at O'Clock
Very true, Jimmy Powers, he has also
lost his cake and ice cream, which is per
haps, as you say, the worst of it for sammy
And now We viii lose no more time, but 20

studying, dear children, about the Israelites
and their manifold trials and sorrows. and

simple mistake Mr. Phillippeau. who has
kindly consented to work the stereopticon
for US, has never worked one before. and
we must o, course excuse him If he

peau, we will go ON. Leaving the story of
the lsraelites, children, n it is now getting
little late, and we mus hurry little,
win show you the temple where the wicked
money changers were carrying on their bad
business when they were driven out: where
bribing and all sorts of wrong doing
went on. and you must look at it and
always remember It rs place con
demned for the very wicked actions that
went on in It. Now, Mr.. Philippeau.

There is some mistake, children: this isn't

many Of you recognize IT, but you must be
careful, you know, and not think OF it
that is. associate tin your mind with the
temple meant to show you, because that
wouldn't be correct you know. Now, you
will have to wait a few moments while |
consult with Mr.. Phillippeau, for / am
afraid there a. little misunderstanding
about the slides (Consults Mr. Phillip
peau.) | am very sorry to tell you, chill
dren, that the wrong slides have been sent
u.s. / intended to show you, as you know,
pictures Of old Bible stories and the
Holy Land, but by some strange error,
which it is too late now to correct, the gen
tleman who kindly loaned us the slides has
mixed us up with an illustrated lecture at
the ex-convicts' coterie. They have our
slides, you see, and we have theirs. But
while we may feel q passing moment Of
disappointment, | know the dear children
