be placed over her husbands grave; in due
time it arrived and a little more than n year
since was placed in its position in the Gem

one hundred thousand dollars. A remark
able feature of the monument is that Mt its
L9se is a room several feet square. enclosed
IN glass, and that within the room, bend
ing over the tomb, are the ~life-size figures
of Mrs. Keep and daughters, carved in the
marble, each being an exact likeness of the
original. The attitudes are those of the
most intense grief, and their countcnance

LECTURE by REV. w. IA. IN
MURRAY.
h" my Creed.''

A very fair audience assembled at the
Opera House last evening to hear the lee
ture by Rev. w. IL. II. Murray on "My
Creed" We hoped to see a larger number
out, as, knowing by experience the value of
the lecture, we knew that the speaker
could interest every one of our citizens in
the manner Of treating his subject. So
many different entertainments have been
upon the boards in Rutland this season that
the best things, even, do not, at present,
call out SO large an audience as they other
wise would.
The speaker was introduced by Colonel
Chas. II. Joyce and did not fail to riyet
the attention and interest of his hearers
throughout the lecture. We have already
given our opinion in regard to this lecture,
and it is only necessaryto say that itspeaks
for itself. 1t must be heard, however, to be
appreciated, while in the brief and impcr-
feet abstract given below we have cndcay-
orcd to give the leading ideas Of it for the
interest of our readers. 1t should be a
source of much congratulation TO Rutland,
we will add, that it has citizens Of so much
public spirit as to give us so fine an intel
lectual treat as was contained IN this lee
ture, and, without whose endcavors, il
would not have been vouchsafcd rs.

A friend who seems to know
what he is talking about sends us
lengthy communicates on the
"extravagant females subject. We
have not room for the entire
article, but give the "git" of it in
the following concluding para
graph. Thus he discourseth -
Don't be alarmed, my young
friend! Go in and marry your
little girl. 1t makes no odds how
delicately she trips along in her
silks, laces and diamonds. Once
make her your wife--then tell her
seriously, your income and circum-
stances, and she will cheerfully
lay aside all that very expensive
trimming, go with you to your
little home, and over a pine table
supported by two chairs and kept
in countenance by three-doilar
bedstead, cook the dinner, wash
the clothes, and in good time,
nurse the baby-all the while
singing like a bird. So we write
advisediy. Marry. Come up, as
the chap says in the play: What
are you afraid of, young man :?
We give you good advice Marry
your little girl, and in less than a
year, our word for it, you will be
able to make both ends meet, and
be happy as larks.
If any of our young gents are
disposed to think the above advice
a swimming card" we should be
glad to see them play it, and then
let rs hear the result.

you making the homes Of your
dear little ones brightand happy?
DO you make allowance for their
youthful errors? Do you bear
with their waywa7d acts and make
every effort TO lead them from temp
tation? God has committed them
to your charge, and will require
from you strict account of your
stewardship, and you cannot avoid
the responsibility. Much of the
misery and crime abroad in the
land is owing to a. neglect
of home duties by parents. Re-
member that love and gentleness
in the government of children be-
gets love and gentleness in return.
If your children are impulsive and
hayward, you are largely respon-
sible for their conduct. IF you are
harsh in your parental government
you stimulate the like feeling in
your child. BE decisive and firm,
but always just gentle and loving
in the faults Of the young. You
need have little fear for the future
of your children, if your fireside isa
happy one, and all firesides may be
happy, whether surrounded by af-
fluence or poverty, as in the wis
dom of God riches cannot buy,nor
poverty preclude The happy home.
20, parents, make the home of
your children the happiest place
Of their youthful lives. Do not
send them our INTO the world to
battle with its cares without the
gentle and refining influence of
the happy home circle. God has
placed within your reach, and at
your command, the means TO
make yourchiIdren useful servants
TO Him in their journey through
time. Do notneglect the opportn
nifty, but make the eUeRijags ct
home more Il 5ractive to your sons
and daugh lefsi than the streets and
dlteys Of y,nr towns and cities.
Jesus Christ has done
more than this for you,
cannot you do this much

Ut home? How that word-home

lied the joys OF happy Preside.
The old home Oft hdpp q childhood

through all the weary years of
manhood life with the fondest

the dim vista of years to those
bright joyous days OF childhood,
there to meet in imagination the
smiles and friendly greeting of the
dear ones of the old family circle.
We dream of "the toucli of a van
