A BLESSING IMPLORED.

A BLESSING IMPLORED.
Here, in thy name, eternal God
We build this earthly house for thee:
o, choose it for thy fixed abode.
And guard it long from error free
Here, when thy people seek thy face,
And dying sinners pray to live,
Hear thou, in heaven, thy dwelling place,
And when thou nearest, Lord, forgive.
When children'5 voices raise the song,
Hosanna! to their heavenly King,
Let heaven with earth the strain pro,ong;
Hosanna! let the angels sing.
REV. DIR, GoADBYs ADDRESS.
Christian Friends, Members of the
various Christian Churches, and Citizens
of Rutland Il congratulate all on the
change that has occurred in this town,
in it's religious interests and in its present
hourishing condition. | am not in the
habit of making apologies, though l am
sure that at this time one ought to be
made. I came to this town to be present
on this occasion, not expecting to take
part in these ceremonies, and entirely I'M
prepared for the duty that has been as,
signed me. But as Brother Mills has
invited me to participate in these exer-
cises, I shall look to him to present my
apologies.
1t is great thing to work for God. 1t
is a great thing to build for Him, who is
the Creator of the universe, and the
source of all power. 1t is a great thing
to look up to Heaven and contemplate all
the wonderful works of the Creator, and
to reflect that these magnificent displays
of His wisdom and power are but small
part of His extended universe. Yet the
same God whose wondrous power and
majesty we contemplate in the works OF
creation. has said, 81 will dwell with him
who is of a humble and contrite heart
God is with those who are of lowly
mind, and he has made it duty to dedi.
cate all we possess to his service.
We have heard it said that church
may go beyond its means. But such a
case cannot be. With the want God
gave the ability to meet the necessity
You are erecting fine building here that
will be an ornament to the town. Let the
beauty and symmetry of your Christian
characters be equal to to the beauty Of

EVENING MEETING.

At Half-past seven o'clock in the even.
ing a public meeting was held at the
Baptist Church, to discuss the subject oil
the new enterprise in which the Society
is engaged, and which had been SO
pleasantly inaugurated by the ceremonies
of the afternoon. The meeting was well
attended by the friends of the Society
many from abroad being present, aud
manifesting their interest in the under
taking
At the commencement of the exercises
Rev. Mr.. Mills read number of letter,
from absent friends of the Society, who
had been invited TO be present on the oc.
casion of laying the corner stone, but who
were unavoidably detained. Among them
were letters from Rev. J. J. Peek, Mel
rose, Mass, James L, Howard, of the firm
of Howard Bros, Hartford, Conn, Rev
Dr. Magoon, Philadelphia, and Mrs. Ma
COON, all expressive of the interest of the
writers in the success of the undertaking
of erecting the new edifce, and regrettinp
their inability to be present.
The discussion OF the subject of "Our
enterprise, and our relations to it," was
then taken up and interesting remarks
were made by Rev DR.. Thomas of Bran
don, Rev. Mr.. Grose of Hydeville, Mr.
Pooler of Elizabeth, N. J., DIR. Welle,
of Schenectady, N. Y, Rev. Mr.. johnson
of Rutland, Rev. DR.. Goadby of Poultney
and Rev. Mr.. Mills. The discussion re.
vealed a deep interest in the saccess OF
the undertaking, and on tho part of some
generous determination to contribute
further aid if necessary.
The pastor stated that the amount thu:
far subscribed was about $4,000. and
this amount must be increased to $25. OOC
or $4,000 to ensure the completion of thu
edifce. Among those who were named
as having generously aided the enter
prise, were Hon. J. B. Page, $1,000. Mr.
Lawrence Barnes of Burlington, 81 ZOO
and Howard Brothers of Hartford $500.

A Paris Horror.

Paris Correspondence of the London Globe1
l heard, yesterday, this incident related.
and am quite satisfied that it is true: A few
days after the overthrow of the commune, a
member of the National Assembly had the
curiosity TO go to see some of the female CAP
tives of Paris confined at Versailles. Shortly
alter entering yard in which two or three
hundred OF them were assembled, one of
them, In dirty garments, caught him by the
arm and cried, "You shall not leave me,
clung tighter, and said, "Do not leave. for
Gods sake! Look at mep He looked at her.
and exclaimed IN astonishment: "Gracious
heavens! Madame -. You herel" He
recognized in her friend, lady of wealth
in Paris. She burst into tears and told her
tale. On Thursday, the 25th of May, fighting
having ceased in her quarter, she went out
and called at the shop OF a dyer, to inquire
about some things she had given to be dyed.
On leaving she iound herself among several
women, who were flying before band of SOL
diers crying, "Stop them, they are petrol
euses.,' The women were surrounded, and
she with them and she, in spite of her ear
nest remOnstrances, was with them and many
others sent to Versailles. They were made
to go on foot, and what she suffered from fa-
tigue aud thirst, and agony of mind, no one,
she says, can imagine. At Versailles all her
efforts to communicate with her friends and
family we're vain, for no one would believe
that she was a lady and not an incendary.
The M. p. of course, hastened to get her re-
leased. But for him she might have been
sent with her fellow prisoners TO peniten-
tiary colony, or, like some of them, shot. Her
family in Paris was surprised at her absence
but never supposed that she could be among
the petroleuses of Versailles, and so made nc
inquiries there. The lady is convinced that
many of her fellow prisoners were as innocent
as she, but says they were treated with as
much cruelty as those whose guilt was un-
dnuhtpd

COLD and dead churches, churches that are
receptacles only as sepulchres are churches
whose members rattle in them almost as the
dry bones do in the coffins of the charnel-
house-those are arguments OF infidelity and
no argument to prove Christianity can be of
much validity where the church is hard, or
cold or dead. And no matter how phiosoph-
ical, and skeptical even, a man may be, if the
spirit of love, and they are full to overfowing
with kindness, and the whole church is devel-
oped in the majesty and power of omnipotent
and omnipresent love, that disarms all criti-
cism, and takes away all possibility of doubt.
No matter ever yet needed an argument 20
prove that light was light, and that it was
agreeable. Ye are the light of the world. No
man neds an argument to prove that fruit 10
good. Ye are vines. Ys bring forth fruit to
the glory of the father.-Beecher,

A Quaker Printers Proverbs,

Never sendest thou an article for publca-
tion without giving tile editor thy name, for
thy name Oftentimes secures publication to
worthless articles.
Thou should'st not rap at the door of a
printing office, for he that answereth the rap
sneereth IN his sleeves and lOseth time.
Neither do thou loaf about, ask questions,
or knock down type, or the boys will love thee
like they do shade trees-when thou leaveth.
rhou should'st never read the copy on the
printers case, or the sharp and hooked con-
tainer thereof, or he may knock thee down.
Never inquire thou of the editor for the
news for behold, it is his business at the ap-
pointed time, to give it thee without asking.
1t is not right that thou should'st ask him
who is the author of an article, for his duty
requireth him to keep such things to himself.
When thou dost enter into his office, take
heed unto thyself that thou dost not look at
what may be lying open and concerneth thee
not, for that is not meet in the sight of good
breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof sheet, for
it is not ready to meet thine eye, that thou
mayest understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any other,
and subscribe for it Immediately.
Pay for it in advance, and it shall be well
with thee and thine.-RowelPs Reporter.
