A HOPEFUL MOvEMENT.-We learn that w.
A. Barnes, Esq, the pioneer of the marble bus
iness in Rutland, who opened the first quarry
and has done more than any other man in pros
ecuting the business, has for some time been
thoroughly convinced that marble of a very su-
perior quality existed in Middlebury and within
few weeks he has given the matter careful at
tention. The result is, an association has been
formed, in this and some of the adjoining towns
about 400 acres of land has been purchased
and the work is already commenced. 1t is pro-
posed to employ as many men through the win
ter as can be worked to advantage, for the pur-
pose Of thoroughly testing the quarry.
Inc texture OF the marble as 1t appears at a
America yet discovered, and should it be found
sound it will be mine of wealth the value of
which is not easily computed; and will lend an
impulse to every branch Of business in its
neighborhood. .-Middlebmy Register.

DIR. PoMERoY.-The Providence Journal, in
alluding to the fall from grace of this divine
makes the following fitting remarks:-
We share most sincerely the profound regret
which is felt by the Christian public, and more
particularly by the numerous personal friends
of DIR. Pomeroy in this city and elsewhere, at
the sad developments which have been made
concerning him. That reputation for high
Christian character. earned in useful pastorate
of twenty-five years, and arduous labor in a
conspicuous official position, should be so sud-
denly and wretchedly sacrificed, is indeed la
mentable. We envy no one who can speak ex-
ultingly, or even harshly of the fallen man at
this hour. Such mistakes as his bring their own
sufficient punishment with them. Our words to
him would be words of sorrow and shame for
his weakness in the hour of temptation. But
these should be left to his friends
The public have to learn from him the peril
of tampering with vice under any guise or pre-
tence whatever. No man can afford to say that
he is strong enough to meet it and conquer it
though his daily vocation be that lofty one which
is supposed to strengthen the moral nature more
than any other. Fire will burn even the brawn-
Jest hand. No one can foresee what allurements
and seductions the hour of temptation may Of
fer. The first step taken makes the second easy
and escape from the third and all the rest be-
comes next to impossible.
We are glad to learn that the Missionary
Board with which DR.. Pomeroy is connected has
not suffered pecuniariiy from this sad affair."
The Secretary, in his official relations to the
Board, has subjected himself to no reproach
except that of holding his place when conscious
of his moral unworthiness to retain it.

DEATH OF REV. DIR. CooLEY.-Rev. Tmo-
thy NJ. Cooley, of East Granville, Mass, died

led divinity at Yale College, and preached his
first sermon in Granville on the 30th of April,

MY FIRST CHILD.


One night when old Saint Peter Slept
He left the door Of Heaven liar,
When through little angel crept,
And came down with falling star.
One summer as the blessed beams
OF morn approached, my blushing bride
Awakened fr in some pleasing dreams,
And found that angel by her side
God grant but this-1 ask no more
That when he leaves this world of sin,
He'll wing his way Tor that blest shore,
And find that door of heaven again.
.OLD JOHN BROWN
Not any spot six feet by two
Will hold man like thee;
John Brown will tramp the shaking earth
From Blue Ridge to the sea,
Till the strong angel comes Mt last
And opcs each dungeon door,
And Gods Great Charter holds and waves,
Der all his humble poor.
And then the humble poor will come
In that inr-distant day,
And from the ieon's nameless grave
THEY'LL brush the leaves away;
Aud gray old men will point the spot
Beneath the pine-tree shade,
AS children ask with streaming eyes
Where "old John Brown" was laid.

To RAISE THE PILE ON VELVET
We are sometimes asked "What
is the best thing to do with velvet
mantle after it has been in the rain?''
Velvet that is rough and knotty,
from rain spots and splashes, Can
be rendered smooth again by thor
oughly damping the back Of it,
and then passing the back Of the
velvet over hot irou--the velvet
remember must be passed over the
iron, and not the iron over the
velvet. The heat converts the water
into steam which rises through the
pile, and so separates every filament
Some continuance must be made tC
hold the iron upside down while the
velvet is passed over it. If res.
ted between two bricks covered
with flannel, it will do very well.

One Of the most troublesome

Not long since there was great
religious excitement among the ne
groes in the neighborhood Of Smith
land. Numbers were baptized nearly
every day. On one ofihese occasions
the colored preacher was leading a
big niger named Bob into the water
TO baptize him. Bob was little in
advance, and coming to a'stepping of
place. down he went, dragging the
preacher after him. After considerable
Laundering and splutteripg,they both
reached the shore, when Bob very
much excited, delivered himself thus
Now, look heah! some man'll loose
