the captain, as ne received the glass ana re-
turned it to the table-"we will talk over this
matter calmly; and I know you won't take
any offence at an old neighbor and friend of
the family, talking over your trouble with
you in philanthropic spirit, Tom. We've
heard, Tom, that your wife, Matilda, has
gone"
81 don't know, captain, what the neighbors
will say or think"
"Oh! Tom; 1 think we can be prompt
enough to forestall any opinion on that score.
Give and take, old fellow, you know-give
and take. It makes no difference who is in
the wrong-that is not the question now.
Before the thing leaks out, you can bring Ma
tilda home, and both forgive and forget, and
let bygones be bygones. That's the way to
manage, Tom now, don't you really think
so? Honor bright, Toni Isn't that the
proper course between man and wife"
eyes, captain, you are quite right" an
swered his host, in an absent manner, as he
stared into the face of his visitor, without at
all seeming to be relieved of his trouble by
the suggestion. Any other man might have
observed that !; but Captain Player only saw
what he had made up his mind he should see
the anxiety and embarrassment of a husband
under domestic difficulties, that were the talk
of the country.
"That's right, Tom! that's right" cried
Captain Player, approvingly, as he shook the
hand of his host most cordially. "Now, Tom,
carry out the programme, without delay. Ma
tida must be brought home forthwith"

CONCLUSION NEXT WEEK.

DULL PUP1Ls-Avoid wounding the SEN
sibilties of dull child. There will always
be those in every school who are slow to com.
prehend. After their classmates have grasped
an idea during the teachers explanation, they
still have the vacant stare-the unintelligent
expression. This may be so after q second or
a third explanation. The teacher is strongly
tempted to indulge in expressions of impa-
tience, ifnot of opprobrium. This temptation
he should resist. Such children are to be
pitied for their dullness, but never to be Gen.
sured for it. It's an unfeeling thing to sting
the soul that is already benighted. He should
cheer and encourage such a slow mind to
greater effort, by the sunshine of kind looks,
and the warm breath of sympathy, rather than
freeze up the feeble current of vivacity which
yet remains there, by forbidding frown, or
blast of reproach. A dull child is almost
always atfectionate and it is through the me-
dium of kindness and patience that such a one
is most efectually stimulated.

ishings finish the work. This marbleized slate
is quite elegant, possessing sixteen times the
strength of marble, and scarcely distinguisha-
BILE from it. The imitation of marble in slate
is employed for cofins, caskets, table.tops,
mantles, billard.beds, lamp-stands and innu-
merable domestic and ornamental uses. The
best workmen here are from Wales, having
learned the business in the immense quarries
of Carnarvonshire. They are sober, indus
trious, moral people, improvident for the fu-
ture, noticeably fraternal among themselves,
kind and generous toward all. They take
Saturday afternoons for holidays, and make
up the hours during the rest Of the week.
These states are not inferior in quality to
those of Wales. The quarries are compare.
lively shallow, but more easily worked, and
they are too numerous and extensive to be ex'
hausted by a single generation. The Yer
mont and neighboring slate trade is still in its
infancy; but capitalists are beginning to be-
lieve and determine that shall rival the i'm.
portant marble interest.-Letter to the Ne,o

pipe, and laid it away on the mantle-board
with the air of man who had fully made up
his mind. Mrs. Player resumed her knitting
in silence, knowing that it would be vain, at
present, to demonstrate with her better half
against his visit to their neighbor.
This conversation, above detailed, took
place in a plainly furnished room in respect
able farmhouse, lying in one of the most quiet
and orderly neighborhoods in one of the upper
districts s-counties, as they are now termed
of South Carolina.
Captain Player was plain, meducated
man; but possessed of a large property, which
he had partly inherited, and partly amassed
by his energy and industry. He was noted
for his benevolence and public spirit; impul.
sive, and easily led astray by his social
sympathies; frank, blunt and direct in all his
dealings yet giving himself great credit for
his tact and penetration. AS our readers will
have abundant opportunities, in the progress
of this "ower true story" for forming an
opinion for themselves in regard to his pecu-
liarities of mind and character, we shall leave
these to their true and natural development,
as the events of our story shall exhibit them.
In personal appearance, the captain was
short, stout, burly man, who evidently was
habituated to high living. He had fair
complexion and an amiable cast Of features,
a small mouth, large masculine nose that
was turned somewhat awry, and fine fore
head from which his light-colored hair was
combed carefully back. He was, perhaps,
nearly sixty years of age, but his unbroken
strength and iron constitution kept him still
in the prime of his manhood. Taken all in
all, had the reader looked in upon him, as be
half.reclined in his easy chair by the comfort
able freside, with his full blue eye gazing
down thoughtfully among the Goals, as if med
itating how he should approach the accom-
plishment of his purpose on the morrow, he
would have taken him for some broad-shoul-
dered, burly, bluff old Englishman, who, in a
fight with mad bull, would have illustrated
his strategy and tact by taking the monster
manfully by the horns.

THE VERMONT SLATE QUARRIES.

The whole region about Lake st. Catharine
is remarkable for its inexhaustible quarries OF
argillacerous slate, the commercial value of
which is Just beginning to be appreciated.
From the rude Fairhaven school states, for
ciphering and drawing portraits of the mas
ter, this hardened clay has risen to an eco
nomical importance that puts it into competi-
ton with the choicest marbles. The quarries
do not run several hundred feet deep like those
of Wales, and are consequently worked with
great facility. Large blocks are blasted
out and split with wedges, and raised with
derricks, and separated into smaller slabs by
deftly directed blows from a wooden beetle
The roofing slate is wet in order to facilitate
splitting, the thinly laminated formation rem
dering the process an easy one with the chisel
1t is not expedient to take from the quarry
more than can be readily split, as the slate
splits more freely when fresh, although it is
said that frost will restore the splitting proper
ty. The thickest slabs are readily sawed and
planed by machinery. Large, handsome flag
stones are prepared by simply saving. Mould:
ings and other decorative pieces are shaped
with tools. A great impetus has been given
to the slate trade by the demand which the
Chicago fire has created, especially for roof
ing and tiling. The slate companies inter-
change products with the marble companies,
for interspersing white marble with dark slate
for floors Slate is rapidly taking the place
of marble for interior decoration; but so long
as our extensive forests remain we shall not
need to substitute it for wood, as the English
do. With US it is still luxury rather than
an economy. For ornamental purposes the
slate after being properly cut and trimmed, is
secured with pumice stone, then rubbed with
powdered pumice stone, and polished with felt.
1t is now ready to be transformed into marble.
The slabs having been prepared, and painted
with the groundwork color, they are ready to
dip. A vat is at hand, containing water and
cannot say what else. A man dips small
brush in oil colors and sprinkles it on the sur
face; then he fans the water with palm leaf
and draws the brush through it several times.
The oil mixed paint spreads on the surface of
the water, like the veining in marble, and the
slab being gently raised against it receives the
impression.
A mere change of groundwork and colors
gives the varieties of marble, Egyptian, Span
ish, Galway, Pyronese, &c. The most elabo-
rate work, as for altar pieces, chess-boards,
and borders, is done by hand. After the ap-
plication of colors, successive bakings and pol

HOW ARE YOU. PEPPER?

AS an evidence that the operators of our
city are not behind hand in the matter of
"having their fun,"' the following is related Of
Jim, a well known attache of the Western
Union. During the theatrical season Of last
year the drama of "The Long Strike" was
produced at one of our theatres and for the
manipulation of the telegraph instrument,
which plays an important part in the most i'm.
portant act of the play, Jim was engaged.
His position was such that he could see the
audience without being seen, and when, upon
taking his position, he discovered in the audi
torium brother operator from Memphis, by
the name of Pepper, (who had that day ar.
rived in town. he determined to have little
sport on his own account Accordingly, when
the time came for the sending of the first de-
spatch, Jim loudly sounded on his machine
the words, Chow are you, Pepper?" The
quick professional ear of Pepper caught the
words instantly, and wondering "who the
deuce it was" Strengthened up and stared at
the stage as if he would have given two dol.
lars and half to know something more.
"Pepper, how's your mother ?" came from the
instrument, and Pepper, thoroughly mystifed,
turned confdingly to his fair partner to ex-
press his utmost astonishment at the most
singular circumstance. AS luck would have
it, the auditorium held quite delegation of
telegraphers, who by this time saw that Jim
was up to one Of his old tricks, and with one
accord they began to look about the theatre
for Pepper" Jim saw the effect of his ex-
pertinent, and enjoyed himself hugely. Pep
per hadn't got through telling his girl all
about it, when there came another message.
"That won't do, old Pepper. I know you
we'll, and you hadn't better be fooling that
con6ding creature with any soft nonsense"
This reused the telegraph boys to the very
pitch of curiosity, and many Of them stood
up, gazing longingly about them as if their
only object in life was to discover Pepper.
Pepper felt that he knew him, and the con.
fusion which had been gradually covering his
handsome features grew into modification
when he saw so many eyes evidently levelled
at him, and at last actually eliminated in his
withdrawal from the theatre. But Jim was
bound to give him parting shot, and as he
faded from view, he heard borne to his ears,
"Good-bye Pepper, put your trust in Provl-
dence, but keep your powder dry" those
who appreciated the affair were much amused,
and so indeed was the victim himself, when,
on the following day, he learned who had so
neatly captured HMM. o. Times.

AT MY MOTHERS GRAVE.

Dear head so low full we'll know
The crown is bright thou'rt wearing,
That precious dust, q Saviour's trust,
Waits only His appearing.
No shaft may rise where low it lies,
A Saviour's promise proving,
But shaft or stone has never shown
Memorial like my loving.
Would thou couldst see how deep for thee
My heart its love is keeping,
Its breaking woe as hot tears flow
Above where thou art sleeping.
Oh! that thine ear one cry could hear,
The cry I cannot smother
How much I yearn, remember, mourn,
And love and miss thee, mother!
