a Silk Quilt and a Poem.

A PLEASANT EVENT AT THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
DIR. CCTHBERTS POETICAL COMMENT on TEE RED
SUNSETS.
The members of the First Baptist church held
their first sociable OF the season last evening, the
feature OF the evening being the presentation by
the ladies to Mrs. Cuthbert the pastors WIFE, Of a
very handsome silk quilt. All the work on It was
done by the ladies', and they saved the scraps so
carefully that very comfortable cushion vas COW
cred with the same and presented to the pastor.
Otis T. Mason made the presentation speech. and
Or. Cuthbert responded, and III addition read the
following original poem on the red SUNSETS:
THE RED SUNSETS.
The crimson glOrieS OF the evening slv
Nightly their llerE banners hang On high.
Is 1t the shining way The angels tread,
Or Gods "wllte throne for Judgment rObed in red?
AS slowly sinks the king OF day to rest,
The golden curtains wrap him In the west:
or Is that CLEAN the blazing funeral pyre
Where waning suns die out at last in tire?
SO to the prophets eye the vision came
The chureDinl-the wheels OF dreadful flame
The sapphire frmalnent-and Tar above.
The throne and form OF Him whose name Is Love.
Like giant steamer. leader OF the fleet
Far outward bound. some tide of war to meet
Lasting his trembling flank In smoke and wrath
Win lame and thunder rolling In his path.
So shines the suns red track at close OF day.
While stars. like ships sail on the milky way,
Anu evening giOrieS are the signals sent
Through the deep spaces Of the armament.
9 CANCEL in the Sun"-bright orb of day.
What reckoning hand is calling thee away
Where AlcvOn in the twinEl1ng Pleiades
Shines brightly DER the rar-Ur starry seas?
I know not what the fiery signals be:
The angel-song still Sweetly comes for me-
"Glory TO GOd'-the music OF the sphere
ana "Peace on Earth" the lingering echo here.

Dusty Old Wine Bottles.

THEY DO NOT ALWAYS CONTAIN THE RARE OLD VINE
One OF our citizens who formerly INDUCED in choice
Wines says the Bridgeport Standard, while in Paris
ordered some very old and high priced variety OF the
fluid. and bottle was brought to him covered with
dirt and cobwebs. which showed that it had evil
IDENTITY been slowed away for many years. or it
could not have accumulated SO much NTH on
the exterior He drank and enjoyed it as the
genuine article. Some days arterward. while
dining at the same place, he called for another
eotte OF the same wine. 1t was brought, all
duly covered with dirt aud cobwebs as BEFORE but
by some mark on the bottle he discovered IT was
the same old bottle and had been refilled He rea-
sOned that probably the same bottle had been sold
many time before and then refiiled with some
common wine ana sold at enormous prices. each
time the cobwebS and dirt dPceiving other CUSTOM
erS rs they had him. He ordered no more OF that
kind. We We're reminded Of that circumSt ance by
reading the statement in the papers that 1850 bot
ties OF wine bought In different parts OF Paris have
been analyZed at the municipal laboratory and the
vine was pronounced pure in only six cases" IL in
the capital or such wine-growing country as
France less than one bottle OF wine hundred iss
pure, can we infer that one bottle of foreign wine
In a million found In our store Is the genuine
article:

that some department clerks who are the posses
