Thursday evening, Feb. 10, at the
opera house, on THE Harp of the
Senses" The first part of the lec-
ture was highly scientific, dealing
with the waves of light and sound, in

der this head he gave some sound
moral advice in regard to the train

which he had laid down, should be
given in the very early years of
their life. He practically argued that

girls, and should not be pushed out
to learn the world alone:" and which

many more bad boys than girls. The
lecture was, illustrated at different
points with stereopticon views of
great beauty and force. There was n

tion was given.
