Mr.. EDIToR-I have often wished
that the public might know of the many
acts of benevolence of Hon. Amos
Clark, ir. Tho writer of this acknowl-
edges many favors at his hands, after
being refused by others more interested
in his welfare, if he could believe their
protestations of friendship, who, when
called upon, turned deaf ear to his
wants, while Mr. Clark listened patient
ly to his appeal for help, and mono with
out giving substantial assistance, with
thorough knowledge of our inability to
ever serve him in any way / would
not have written this article had not
heard remarks from those who, in the
past, have received favors, and will, per-
haps, ask for others in the future.
Hoping his honor may live long, and
enjoy oil of Gods blessings for his con-
tinued acts of charity-God's noblest
attribute of man, remain,
Yours

A LARGE number of amateur sports

member OF q Goldfish" family, travelled
through field and forest until noon,

would try his skill at group of poul-

THE UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICES

THE UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICES
Held in the First Presbyterian church
yesterday, were most heartily enjoyed
by an unusually large assembly. The
house was full, and the four pastors
conducted the services in delightful har
mony, and great appropriateness to the
occasion. In his happiest manner Mr..
Patterson presented the general themes
of thanksgiving which urge themselves
upon as at the present moment. The
three topics assigned were then present
ed 10y Messrs. Read, Roberts and Kemp
shell: thanks for family blessings; thanks
for the church and thanks for national
blessings.
And where all was so well done we
would make no discrimination. MIR.
Read very happily illustrated the topic
assigned him. 1t was "Home, sweet
home, and what gratitude do we owe
to kind Providence that so few of our
homes have been invaded by sickness
or death, or made desolate by famine or
pestilence. DIR. Roberts, in few well
chosen words, briefly but comprehen-
sively presented the church as the great
power of God that has, in all ages of the
world, been nightly and irresistibly at
work for the renovation of the race.
We owe our civil and religious liberty,
our civilization and morality, our com
mon schools and higher institutions of
learning, to the Christian church. And
nowhere but under the benign influence
of the evangelical church, is there a
Bible and Sabbath. For all these
things let us give thanks.
DR.. Kempshall saw much in the pre-
sent position of our national affairs for
which to be grateful how we have been
preserved from war, and mostly from
famine and pestilence how the Gene
va arbitration saved us from devastat-
ing war, and how the smiles of being
nant heaven have rested upon lis an
other year. And the reverend speaker
did not fail to take note of the late sig
nal triumph of justice over fraud and
theft in our great city the vindieation
of the majesty of law, as an occasion for
unfeigned gratitude to a just and holy
God. W. NJ. Tweed in prison fact
forwhich every true patriot and chris
tian will thank God and take courage.

PAGAN philosophers and Christian
pastors unite in proclaiming that wealth
is not essential to happiness. Daily do
we see this great truth confirmed. We
have space to-day for ono illustration
only : Returning from dinner Wednes-
day We were pleased to hear the sound
of music in the distance. AS we drew
nearer the city, the melody became
lively. We heard drum. Directly
ten drummers distinguished themselves.
In attempting to keep step to the spirit
stirring air VIC found our overcoat an
incumbrance. We could not afford to
be late. Perhaps the Third regiment
had been ordered to Cuba. The over
coat was sent flying over the fence, and
we found marching pleasant. To our
surprise the martial strains sounded
nearer and clearer than before. A SOL
der never halts while drums beat to
arms. We started on the double quick,
the rapid notes indicating that there
was not q moment to lose. Still no
troops were visible. A large barn was
near. Perchance our friends had halt
ed to get bite, before embarking on a
dangerous expedition. We turned aside
while on the path to glory and saw ten
young negroes, sitting in the sunshine,
each beating a large tin kettle with a
vigor that delighted the neighbors. We
took mental inventory of tho wardrobe
of those patriotic youth. A more rag
ged group We never encountered. But
happiness of high order was undoubt-
eddy their portion. Their eyes sparkled
as brightly as young brides their APP
petites were source of pleasure that a
pampered office holder never knew, and
the crows that circled heavenward were
not more free of care than tho young
musicians who handsomely acknow-
lodged veterans greeting. Smith.
