Piracy, for more than twenty years the prinei-
pai editor of the Vermont Chronicle. departed
this life at his residence in Windsor, ON the 18th

most irreparable loss to the patrons Of the
Chronicle, but loss also to the editorial irater
nifty, among whom, for ability, tempered with
discretion and candor, he was second to none in
the state He made the Chronicle what it has
long been-one Of the very best religious papers
IN New England. Mr. Tracy. with rare powers
OF intellect and very extensive requirements. was
yet one of the most modest and unoblrusiye OF
men. His loss will be widely felt among the
public at large for thousands have been made
the wiser and tho better for tie lucid and pious
carnations of his long and ably welded pen.
But tue good man has new gone to his reward

our readers to the following remarks
from tho Temperance Advocate. 1t
says: "Not few complain of Band of

time, but soon are detective in interest,
and die out. What was exceeding
bright and beautiful has soon passed
away Now suppose tho Sunday
Schools were left entirely to the children,
and they were to maintain their own or
CARNATIONS, do their reading, singing,
and instruction alope-how long would
they hang together? Scarce a single
season. They have their Superintendent
aud Male and Female Teachers, who,
Sabbath after Sabbath, interest and hold
their children. So must it be with
Bands Of Hope. They must have their
Glasses and Teachers. A Band of Hope,
with hundred members, should have
ten classes and ten teachers; then it
would not only live and exert good influ-
ence, but soon increase to two hundred,
and become mighty force for temper
ance and pure morality. We wish some
of our friends would try it, and send in
