Umbrellas.

Who would ever think that umbrel-
las were so old an institution. 1t ap-
pears however from the following ar
ticle:
DIR. 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 the most won
derful traveller, Layard, relates that he
discovered OH the ruins of Ninevah,
in bds relief a representation Of u
king i'm his chariot with an attendant
holding an umbrella over his head. In
India we also find that the umbrella
has been used in remote ages, aud
principally as an insignia of royalty,
its shape differing very little from
these OF modern use. In Burmah the
princes use very large umbrella, and
it requires a seperate attendant to car
ry it, and his position is a recognized
one i'm the royal household. One of
the titles of the king Is as follows:
"King of the white elephant and lord
of twenty umbrellas" The Emperor
of China, who never does anything on
a small scale Gf he can help it,, has no
fewer than twenty-fOur umbrellas car
ried before him when he goes a hunt
ing. 1t is used in the country as a
defense against rain as well as sun, and
is principally made of sort Of glazed
silk or paper beautifully painted. We
find umbrellas as mentioned as i'm use,
or at least known, in England $50
years ago. In Cambridge, we read
that early in the last century UNI
brellas were let out on hire for SO much
per hour, like sedan-chairs. Jonas
Hanway, a founder of a hospital in
London, has the credit of being the
first person in London who had the
courage to habitually carry an umbrel-
Ia. He died in 1875, and il. is said that
he carried an umbrella for thirty
years; SO the date of their intrOduc-
ton for general use may be said to
date from l746.

"A magnificent set Of glassware
destined for the White House has
just been completed at the Corning
N. Y, Glass Works. 1t consists Of
two dozen goblets, which are cut
about half way up the bowl, the re-
mainder of the bowl being richly en-
graved, and prominent among it is
the United States coat of-arms; four
dozen champagne glasses and saucer
bowls, cut and engraved as the COB
lets; two dozen regular champagne
glasses, engraved as the others; six
dozen canary colored hook glasses;
seven dozen ruby-bowl, hint-stem
Sauturne glasses. There are also four
dozen claret, six dozen sherry and
four dozen cordial glasses; two dozen
finger bowls, which are cut and en-
graved with the coat-of-arms; three
dozen punch glasses, with handles;
four dozen ice-cream plates, cut and
engraved as the glasses. The value
of this glass is about $4,000. 1t is all
gotten up with the best of taste, and
of most exquisite pattern. The en-
craving is perfect. There are, be-
sides the above, large number of en-
tirely new and beautiful samples of
preserve dishes, shell and other forms;
also, bottles, decanters, ETC., which far
surpass anything ever gotten up at

Thanksgiving.

This day (Nov. 27th,) the people of
the United States are called upon by
the President and the Governors OF
their respective States, to observe as
a day of Thanksgiving and praise to
Almighty God, fer the mercies, bless
ings and benefits, which He has be-
slowed upon us as people and nation
during the year about to close. The
Specification and observance Of
Thanksgiving is right, being an old
fashion holiday that dates back many
years, it is worthy of being contin-
ued. We cannot in this short article
give its history, even though briefly
suffice is to say that it is proper that
it should be observed according to its
original intent and meaning, as a Chris
tan, social, domestic festival. Thank
ING God for hismunerous fayors which
he has granted us; and asking Him
for 4 continuance of them in the flu
ture. With this idea of the object of
Thanksgiving day let us "keep the
feast" and at the same time let us
bear ever in mind the Scnptural adj
age-That Righteousness exalted a
nation; but sin as reproach to any
people.

Thanksgiving Day.

On this day we should be thankful
am going to tell you why,
'Tis the day of Roasted Turkey,
Apple Jack, and Pumpkin Pie.
All the noighbors were invited,
To 60 and dine with Peleg Morse,
Smithers people turned out bravely,
Only seventeen beside horse.
Here we find them, at the homestead
A social party too they are,
All are gathered round the table,
Lending ears, to Morse's prayer
Lord do not ask for savings,
Or some rich and faded maid
All asks seat in Congress,
Then I'll count my fortune made.
Amen; cried dozen voices
All in unison 80 sweet
Isn't that nice says uncle Moses,
BE dad says Pat, that cant be beat
Ere left them eating supper,
Patrick also breathed prayer,
Lord says, he, may mo and Jenny,
Go to ride with Pelos's mare.
