These appointments have been
made after careful deliberation
and extensive correspondence.
But friends may change the times
and places, provided I am duly
notilied and there is no interfer
ence with the genera! schedule.
The party will need the usual
meals, and food foi three mules.
AVhere tiiere are committees on
the Orphan Asylum, they will be
relied on to make all needed .ar
rangements. In the absence o:
committees, other friends are re
quested to do so. A church, or a
large hall, should always be pre
ferred for the entertainments, that
the people may be comfortably
seated, and perfect order preserv

WH.AT MAKES TJSE SEA-SJIEEE
SIKU I
When the sea-sliell is held up
to the ear there is a peculiar vE
bratory noise which children as
sure each other is the roar of the
sea, liowever distant thev‘ may be
from it. Philosophically investi-
fated, tlie peculiar sound thus
recognized is a phenomenon that
has puzzled scholars for a long
time. The experiment is easily
made by simpl}^ pressing the
mouth of a spiral shell over either
ear. If a large shell, the sound
is very much like that of a far-off
cataract. Now, what causes it?
Every muscle in the body is al-
waj's in a state of tension. Some
are more on the stretch than oth
ers, and particularly those of the
finger. It is conceded that the
vibration of the fibres of those in
the finger being communicated to
the shell, it propagates and inten
sifies tliem as the hollow body of
a violin does the vibration of its
stiings, and thus the acoustic
nerve receive the sonorous ex
pressions. Muscles of the leg
below the knee are said to vi
brate in the same wa}^ and their
vibrations, if conducted to the
ear, produce the same result.
FBUT'J'ESEEK AWAY.
extreme poverty, interested the
kind-hearted vocalist. He desired
the poor woman to follow him
into the Place Bellour, where,
placing himself in a corner, with
his back to the wall, his head
covered with his handkerchief,
and his hat at his feet, he began
to sing his most favorite opera
airs. The beauty of his voice
drew a crowd round ; the idea of
some mj-stery stimulated the by
standers, and five-franc pieces
fell in showers into the hat. When
the singer, who had thus, in the
goodness of his heart, transform
ed into a street minstrel, though
he had got enough, he took up
the hat, emptied its contents into
tlie apron of the poor woman
who stood motionless with amaze*
ment and happiness, and disap
peared among the crowd. His
talent, however, betray-ed him,
though his face was concealed ;
the story spread, and the next
evening, when he appeared on
the stage shouts of applause from
all parts of the house proved that
a good act is never thrown awa)L

THE EDUCATIONAL WEEKLY,
The orphans are divided into
Four Graded Forms, each in
charge of a teacher, whose report
is printed every fourth week
The highest number is 10; the
lowest is 1. When the average
is below 6, the orphan is liable to
be discharged as not “promising,”
and therefore excluded by the
regulations. This paper contains
the report made by the teacher
of the

How much time we fritter away
without doing anytliing for our

such omission it is too much the
habit with us all to excuse our
selves oil the plea of a want of

seldom a good and sufficient
ground of justification. Nothing

is easier than to fritter away time
in matters ol no use to themselves
or to any one else. The habit is
readily formed. It grows upon
one unawares. Keep a strict ac
count ol every hour of your own
time for a single week, setting
down correctly the exact manner
in which ever}’ hour is spent, and
gee whether, when jmu come to
review the record, you do not
find it full of admonition and in
struction. In this simple way
one can readily understand the
secret of his want of time. He
will discover that he has given
hours to idle talk, to indolence,
and to inconsiderate trifles, which
have yielded him neither profit
nor pleasure. What is the rem
edy f Arrange your work in the
order of its comparative import
ance. Attend first to the things
which are essential to be done,
and let the unessentials take their
chance afterward. The difference
in the amount of work accom
plished will be astonishing. Duty
before pleasure. Those who prac
tice this precept have plenty of
time for pleasure, and enjoy far
greater satisfaction than those
who reverse this rule.
