Umbrellas.

CDR. Morrison, the great missionary to
China, states that there is mention made of
umbrellas and parasols in books printed in
China more than 1900 years ago; and that
most wonderful traveller, Layard, relates that
he discovered on the ruins of NineVeh, in
basrelief, representation of king in his
chariot, with an attendant holding an um-
brella over his head. In India we also find
the umbrella has been in use in remote ages,
and principally as mark of Royalty, its
shape differing very little from those in mod
ern use. In Burmah, the princes use a very
large umbrella, and it requires a separate
attendant to carry it; and his position is
recognized one in the Royal household. One
of the titles of the king is as follows: king
of the white elephant and lord of the twenty
four umbrellas The Emperor of China,
who never does anything on small scale
Gf he can help it, has no fewer than twenty
four umbrellas carried before him when he
goes out hunting. 1t is used in that coun-
try as defense against rain as well as sun,
and is principally made of sort of glazed
silk or paper beautifully painted. need
not tell you that to this day the East de-
mands large share of our productions; and
umbrellas are shipped to Bombay and Cal,
cutta, and other markets, in tens of thous-
ands of dozens annually. We find umbrellas
mentioned as in use, or at least known, in
England, $50 years ago. In Cambridge we
read that early in the last century umbrellas
were let out on hire for so much per hour,
like sedan chairs. Jonas Hanway, the foun-
der of hospital in London, has the credit
of being the first person in London that had
the courage to habitually carry an umbrella
He died in 1876. 1t is said that he carried
an umbrella for thirty years, and the date
of their introduction for general use may be
said to date from 1856. No one, who has
not given the history of the umbrella and
its collateral branches attention, would be-
ieve that no fewer than three hundred pat.
ents had been registered as improvements
during the last century. A good umbrella
is sure test of mans responsibility. A
man may 60 to kirk or to market with
bad hat or pair of boots, and
keep in his status in society; but not with 4
bad umbrella. "-Mr. wilson, at the annuds9
SOirse of the Glasgow Umbrella Trade.

Reporters Errors.

Many lbHc speaker has had occasion
to groan in spirit over the mistakes of re-
porters in taking notes of his remarks for
publication. An amusing instance Of this
was once we'll corrected by the late DIR.
Bethune. One of his ablest lectures was
reported as follows:
1.-THE lecture last evening was a brilliant
affair The hall ought to have been filled,
but we are sorry to say only forty persons
were present. The speaker commenced by
saying that he was by birth an ecclesiastical
deduction; gave learned description OF
Satan, and his skill in saving trees. Among
other things, he stated that the patriarch
Abraham taught Cecrops arithmetic. We
trust the eloquent divine may be induced to
repeat the lecture at some future day"
Here is what the lecturer said to the re-
porter:
"Dear Sir:-In report of my lecture
in your beautiful city, you have made some
mistakes, which wish to correct. You made
me speak of myself as by birth an 'ecclesl.
astical deduction What I said was, that !
was not by birth, but only enthusiastically a
Dutchman. Instead of speaking Of Satan
as saving trees, spoke of him as sowing
tares. l said nothing of Abraham, but
spoke of the Arabians as nomads of patri
archal simplicity I said that Cecrops was
the founder Of Athens, and instructed the
people i culture.

NoNnNNNnNnNNO0NNNNNNNNNNNNNS

This last book of the Bible is full of time,
and full Of eternity. What scenes of life,
and death, and judgment, and heaven, and
hell
Blessed be God that there is a world
where no mourning and sorrow are known /;
no tear is shed.
It is not always wrong to weep. Our
sins, for one thing, are such that no wonder
if our eyes were "a fountain of tears, to
weep day and night" for them. And so of
the sins committed by others.
When friends sicken and die, we are called
to mourn. "Jesus Wept" Divine grace
does not destroy natural sensibiity: it rath-
er increases, refnes and sancti6es it. It
teaches Us not to sorrow as those who have
no hope.
But whatever may be the weeping here,
none Of it shall be known in heaven. All
tears shall there be forever wiped away
God himself will do it. He wipes away a
great many even here. He does it to the
psnitent when he gives pardon and peace;
to the afflicted, as he sustains and comforts
them; to the dying as he supports them
through the dark valley. But in heaven he
viii wipe away sal tears" He viii do it
eifectually, because sin, the source of weep
ing, the wide and deep ocean from which
tears have come, shall be completely de-
strOyed.
How much are we indebted to Christ
Here Sin the days of his flesh he poured
out strong crying and tears" that he might
bring ours to an end, and bring US into a
heaven of peace and everlasting JOY.
How dreadful the prospect of the wicked
SIN that lone land of dark despair, there
shall be weeping and wailing, and gnash-
ing Of teeth.

That's My Boy.

remember, says DR.. Fowler, standing by
the Surging pillows, all one weary day, and
watching for hours father struggling be-
yond in the breakers for the life of his son.
They came slowly toward the breakers on
piece of wreck, and as they came the waves
turned over the piece of float, and they were
lost to view. Presently we saw the father
come to the surface and Chamber alone to
the wreck, and then we saw him plunge off
into the waves, and thought he was gone;
but in moment he came back again, bring
ing his boy.
Presently they struck another wave, and
over they went; and again they repeated the
process. Again they went over, and again
the father rescued his son. By-and-by, as
they swung nearer the shore, they caught on
a snag just out beyond where we could reach
them, and for little time the waves went
over them there till we saw the boy in the
fathers arms, hanging down in helplessness,
and knew they must be saved soon or be
lost.
shall never forget the gaze of that
father. AS We drew him from the deyour-
ing waves, still clinging to his son he said,
"That's my boy that's my boy" And so
1 have thought, in hours of darkness, when
the pillows roll over me, the Father is reach
ing down to me and taking hold of me, cry
ing, "That's my bOyr and then I know
am safe.-Y Young Pilgrim.
