The WONDERFUL GROWTH OF FALL RIVER,
The Providence Journal has handsome and
interesting article on the past and prospective
growth of this great manufacturing city, which
can only be compared to that of Jonal's gourd
or Jacks beanstalk, and the activity of which at
present is simply astonishing.
In January, 1870, there were running in Fall
River $685. 37 spindles exceeding those in opera
ton at Lowell by nearly forty thousand. To
drive these, 36,200 tons OF coal were consumed,
resulting in the production OF 1872 $685. 900 yards
of cotton CLOTH In ten years the city had trebled
its manufacturing capital its spindles and its
production of cloth. In the ten years, from 1860
10 1870, the population had increased from thir-
teen 10 twenty-seven thousand.
But this was only the beginning, and at pres
ent there are additions to mills already in opera
non and new mills either now in process of build.

456,OOO spindles, making the grand total ,OOS,-

of new mills and additions now in process of

LOSING HOPE.

1t may he. says an unknown writer, that
there is some life which has lost all the rel
ish it once posscsscd-whcrc wasting sick
ness has undermined the strengthen friends
who were the hue and perfume of it have
been taken away,--or hopes that hing on its
horizon like II coming glory have melted into
thin air, and existence seems to have no
more an object. and duty sinks into dull
mechanical round. and the night comes down
dark and starless. and the morning rises
cold and coloress.
1t is hard to say what can restore to such
II life its vigor and freshness, for the mind
comes oftentimes to have II morbid love OF
the gloom which is its misery, and to reckon
it treason to its past hopes to turn its eyes
from their sepulcher. God only knows the
remedy, and it is II special time to call NJ
higher duty to our aid-the duty of turning
to Him, and striving to feel that He has it il,
his power, though we may not see how. tc
save us over the grave of our most cherished
hopes, without causing us to forget them
and to shine in with reviving light upon
the dullcst and bleakest of earthly walks.
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1871-08-12
GOLDEN THOUGHTS.

Joys are the flowers dropped in our path,
by the hand of Providence
lie that is too good for good advice is too
good for his neighbours company.
\ pure character is like polished steel--if
dimmed by breath, it almost instantly rccov-
ers its brightness.
Value the friendship of him who stands by
you in the storm; swarms of insects will sur
round you in the sunshine.
ftruth be established. objections are moth
ing The one is founded on Our knowledge,
the other in our ignorance.
Apathy is one of the worst moral diseases,
rs it not only incapacitates us from combat
ing the encroachments of vice. but closes ev-
cry avenue of our souls to the approach of
virtue.
Make II point never so clear. it is great
odds that II man whose habits and the bent of
whose mind lie a contrary way, shall be un-
able to comprehend it, so weak II thing is
competition with inclination.
When men are most sure and arrogant,
they are commonly the most mistaken, and
have then given views to passion, without
the proper dclber;,tion and suspense which
can alone secure them from the grosscst alb
surditics
Sense shines with double luster when il
is set in humility. An able and yet humble
man. is worth IL kingdom.
Inviolablc fidelity good humor and com
placcncy of temper, outlive all the charms OF
II fine face, and make the decays of it invis-
ible.
\ friend should be- one in whose under.
standing and virtue we can equally confide
and whose opinion we can value at once foi
its business and its sincerity
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1871-08-12
SAYING "HATEFUL" THINGS.

What an evil disposition is that which
leads people to say "hatcfiil' things for the
mere pleasure of saying them! You are new
or safe with such II person. When you have
done your best to please, and are feeling
very kindly and pleasantly, out will pop some
underhand stab which you alone can COM
prehend-a sneer which is masked, but
which is too well aimed to be misunderstood.
1t may be ut your person, your mental feel
ing, your foolish habits of thought, OF some
little secret opinions confided in n moment
of genuine confidence. 1t matters not how
sacred it may be to you, he will have his
fling mt it: and since the wish is to make you
suffer, he is all the happier the nearer he
touches your heart. Just halfa dozen words,
only for the pleasure of seeing cheek flush,
and an eye lose its brightness. only spoken
because he is afraid you are too happy or too
conceited. Yet they are worse than so many
blows How many seepless nights have
such mean attacks caused tender-hearted
men! How after them one awakes with
aching eyes and head, to remember that
speech before cverythng-that bright sharp,
well-aimed needle of speech that probed
the very center of your soul.
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1871-08-12
DOWN THE SLOPE.

Youth looks upward. The way of life for
us all, for II season, lies mp the hill We
climb up the years, and climbing we are con-
tent. If we could always mount upward we
might ever remain content, but unfortunately
there comes time when the path inclncs
and il is II downward path thereafter until
the end
The evening of every mans life is coming
on apace. The day of life will soon be spent
The sun, though it may be up in mid-heavcn.
will pass swiftly down the western sky, and
disappear. What shall light up mans path
when the sun of light has gone down? He
must travel on to the next world what shall
illuminate his footsteps after the nightfall of
death, amid the darkness of his journey?
What question more important. more prac-
teal, more solemn. for each reader to ask
himself?
That is II long journey to travel without
light, without guide, and without II friend.
Yet every man must perform 1t. The time
is not far distant when all men begin the
journey There is I'm evening star in the
natural world. Its radiance is bright and
beautiful, and cheering to the benightcd trav-
elcr. But life's evening star is good hope
of heaven. Its beauty and brilliancy are re-
Elected from the Sun of Righteousness, whose
bright rays light up the evening OF life, and
throw their radiance quite across the dark
ness of the grave into Inmanuels land. It
has illuminated the footsteps of many tray
elcr into eternity. 1t is of priceless value.
A thousand worlds cannot purchase it; yet
it is offered without moneyand without price
to him who will penitently and Thankfully
receive it.
