APApER FROM A PAsToR.-Rev. Mr.. Muir
ray, who occupied the pulpit of the. Presby'
terian Church last Sabbath, read the following
paper from the Rev. Mr.. Baker:
Grinding that the recent petition to Presby-
terry for the forming Of new church in this
place, is regarded BY the public as a demon
stration unfriendly to himself
.sYour pastor, not because doubtful Of your
good feeling abundantly manifes ed. but in or
der to extricate himself from the false posi-
ton in which he has been placed, unintention-
ally, as he believes, on the part of the petit
TONERS, feels it necessary to call upon you,
either to give renewed and formal assurance Of
your cordial and general support and sympa-
thy, or to unite with him in a request to Pres
bytely, at its.meeting on the 10th Of October,
fora dissolution Of the pastoral relation now
existing. :,
'.And in taking this step he has acted with.
out conference with others, and upon his own
responsibility
A meeting was called by the Session to be
held OH next Sunday. for the purpose OF ia
king action on the foregoing paper.

has a,cHrious history. Sent to England after
IFS use 10y DR.. RACE, it was in aimt thrown
aside as useless aud consigned TO the scrap
pie. Some twenty years ago it wa4 brought
Grem Lagaud to New York wttE a lot of
scrap & copper, and purchased by the Della

The question Of civil rights has assumed
new phase, growing out of the refusal OF
certain parties representing the MOUNT Mo-
riah Cemetery Association, OF Pniladelphla,
n Grant the RIG ht OF sepulture TO the remains
of Henry Jones, o well.knoWn colored man
of that city. Mrs. Jones purchased lou IN
the cemetery iu April last, and subsequently
q sister was buried therein. On MONDAY
when the remains Of Mr.. jones were nelnS
conveyed to the cemetery, the funeral was
met by certain persons representing tne
Cemetery Association, who refused to per-
nit the remains of Mr.. Jones to be Inferred
therein. the only objection urged being that
of coior. The body was temporarily depos-
tied in the va,r,t of Lebanon Cemetery, ana
the counsel for the heirs have demanded OF
the officials Of the Mount Moriah Cemetery
the reception of the body Of MIR. Jones for
intermeut.
Here is chance for fanaticsm in Phlla'
delphia. Why should the negro be ever
raising such, questions? Why not have MS
own cemetery He wants pride i'll seeking
to force association where he Is Objection
able. FIRED. nerGLAss and such Radicals as
the editor of the Administration organ advise
the Africans to arm and fight to defend their
rirhts- Would they not better advise them
to avoid .auarrols about association with
whites. and show proper pride by forming
ther<oWn societies, their OWN churches, and
their own cemeteries? There would be
some sense and something like proper senti'
ment in that. The African will not lessen
aversion for him among Writes by pushing
himself upon them. He will sncrease 1t.

Revolution In Naval Architecture.

For some time, says a Washington
telegram, the most active preparations
have been made throughout the navy
yards of the country. Officers of the
navy have united with the Secretary in
preparing plans for the proper reorgani-
zation of the navy. The most important
of the suggestions that have been offered
is the plan of Commodore Anmen, for
the building of improved rams. The
vessels that Commodore Ammen pro-
poses will necessitate complete reor
ganlzation, not only of our own navy,
but also of the navies of Europe. IF his
vessels are all that he claims for them,
the day of the ironclad is past. Upon
the showing that Commodore Ammen
has made to the Secretary of the Navy,
Mr.. Robson has decided to recommend,
in his report, that Congress appropriate
enough money to build two of these YES
sells. The plans Of Commodore Ammen
have been submitted to various en-
gineers throughout the country, and
from them nothing but expressions of
general approval have been obtained.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
BY MRS. R. \. TURNER.

The happy day has come again
The happiest of the year,
When at the old familiar home
Loved faces reappear.
Here gray haired grandpa sits enthroned
1he sovereign of the day.
While all proclaim with one accord
His undisputed sway!
No blither spirit moves the game
Nor stirs to ready mirth
The frolic-loving boys and girls
Who gather round the hearth,
And listen to the olden tales
Which children love so well,
And every grandpa in the land
As dearly loves to tell:
Dear grandma's hands are quite too fun
As hostess of the day
To join in grandpas laughing tales
And merry freaks of play.
Her placid face is full of love
And gratitude and peace,
Once more to meet them all before
Her ministrations cease.
And so, with merry games and tales,
The hours pass swiftly on,
Till, crowning element of all,
The dinner time has come.
Then all with glad alacrity
Obey the welcome sound
And gather round the table where
Thanksgiving joys abound!
Oh, worthy scions of our race
Forefathers passed away!
Could you but see Us celebrate
This glad thanksgiving Day,
You'd pardon all our wanderings
From puritanic folds,
And think that still some jealous hearts
The nineteenth century holds!

A CURIOUS casualty occurred near Pitts
'bufgh the other day. A man who
was engaged with number of others in
cutting down large tree sat down to
rest on a rope stretched between two
posts close by, when the tree suddenly
fell of itself, striking the rope heavy
blow in its descent. Theroperebounded,
throwing the man several feet into the
air, and causing him to turn three or
four somersets before reaching the
ground. When he was picked up life
was extinct.

Japanese Women.

Naturally there are no figures more
perfect than those of the Japanese young
women. The children, up to the age OF
IL, or as long as they have the free use
of their limbs are models of symmetry.
About that time they begin to fasten
long garments about the hips, the effect
of which is to impede their gait and give
them an awkward shamble. In course
of time it does worse, and interrupts the
development of their legs and thighs.
Among the laboring class, an additional
misshapening is accomplished by the
practice of carrying burdens from an early
age, upon the back, for the support OF
which broad straps are passed over the
shoulders and crossed in front, pressing
directly upon the breasts. When Jap
anese girl reaches the age of Is without
undergoing either of the processes of de-
formity, she is a wonder to the eye and
remains so until 25, OF possibly little
later. Then she ceases to charm for
certain period, In any way excepting by
her manner, and that is generally pre-
served to the last. But as she grows old
she has q chance Of becoming, quite de,
ightful again. There is nothing nicer
than a dignified, and white-haired old
Japanese lady. She is always happy, for
she. is always much respected and cher
ished by her youngers, and at certain
age the natural high breeding of the
race appears in her to attain its crystaliz-
alton. Whatever her station in life, she.
is almost always sure to suggest an idea
of ancient nobility and to be surrounded
by an atmosphere of an oriental Eau

A THANKSGIVING.
BY LUCY LARcoM.

For the wealth of painless forests,
Wherein no AK may fall;
For the winds that haunt the branches;
The young birds timid call;
For the red leaves dropped like rubies
Upon the dark green sod;
For the waving of the forests
thank Thee, O my God
For the sound of water gushing
In bubbling beads of hight;
For the fleets of snow-whlte lilies
Firm anchored out of sight;
For the reeds among the eddies;
The crystal on the clod;
For the flowing of the rivers,
I thank Thee, o my God!
For the rosebud's break of beauty
Along the toiler's way;
For the violet's eye that opens
To bless the newborn day;
For the bare twlgs that in summer
bloom like the prophets rod;
For the blossoming OF flowers,
thank Thee, . my God!
For the lifting up of mountains,
In brightness and in dread;
For the peaks where snow and sunshine
Alone have dared to tread;
For the dark of silent gorges,
whence ulRuby AOO
For the majesty of mountains,
L thank Thee, . my God
For the splendor of the sunsets,
Vast mirrored on the sea
For the gold-fringed clouds that curtain
Heavens inner mystery;
For the molten bars of twilight,
Where thought leans glad yet aWee'
For the glory of the sunsets,
I thank Thee, o my God
For the earth and all it's beauty;
the sky and all its light;
For tha dim and soothing shadows,
Tbat rest the dazzled sight;
For unfading fields and prairles,
Where sense in vain has trod
For the worlds exhaustless beauty,
/ thank Thee, q my God!
For an eye of inward seeing;
A soul to know and love;
For these common aspirations,
That our high heirship prove;
g7or the hearts that bless each other
Beneath Thy smile, Thy rod
For the amaranth saved from Eden,
I thank Thee, o my God!
For the hidden scroll, o'erwritten
With one dear name adored;
For the Heavenly in the human
The spirit in the Word
For the tokens of Thy presence
