a BLACK LILY BLOSSOM.

For two years past the ladies OF South

The plant IL about twelve inches 10
height. and the blossom Ia nearly six
inches 10 length and Of u dark black hue
with velyety surface. The odor Is un-
pleasant, resembling that OF n poultry

A very Interesting and instructive
meeting Of the W. c. L. L. was held NJ
the Methodist vestry on Monday even
ing. There Was good audience present
In full sympathy with the sentiment Of
the practical ideas advanced for the bet
ter discipline and education OF the
young.

Are We choosing the wisest course of
studies for our common schools was the
subject Of Mr.. Henry Fieteher's address,
followed hy Mr.. IAmbe on the practical
side Of the question.
Mr.. II. +. Morton made ples for the
sciences in our schools, and would have
the classics releg sted 20 our academies
snd colleges.
This brought Rev. Mr.. Haughton TO
the floor who advocated thoroughly dis
cipliniDg the minds Of the young, and
thought the use Of the classics an sd-
mirable help TO this, and be also plead
for less exacting labor OF the teachers,
and for shorter hours for the schools.
The sale Of cigarettes and their uss
