WHY TUMBLERS WERE so
CALLED.

One day Prof. Max Muller was giving
luncheon at ALI Souls College to the
charming and talented Princess Alice,
the wife OF the Grand Duke of Hesse
Darmstadt, and second daughter OF
Queen Victoria. There were not dozen
guests beside the princess and her hus-
band; and very agreeable luncheon we
had with pleasant talk on all kinds of in
tsresting subjects.
But what excited the curiosity of all
the strangers present was set of the
most attractive little round bowls OF
ancient silver, about the size of large
orange. They we're brought round &C
cording to the custom of the place, filed
to the brim with the famous ale brewed
in the college.
These, we were told, were "tumblers;"
and we we're speedily shown how they
came by their name-a fitting lesson for
the guest OF philologist. When one OF
these little bowls was empty, it was
placed upon the table, mouth downward.
INSTANTLY so perfect was its balance
it flew back into its proper position, as if
asking to be filled again. No matter
how it was treated.-trundled along the
floor, balanced carefully on its side,
dropped suddenly upon the soft, thick
carpet,-up it rolled again, and settled
itself with few gentle shaking and
swayings into its place, like one OF those
India rubber tumbling dolls your baby
brothers and sisters delight in.
This, then, was the origin of our word
"tumbler," at first made of silver, as are
these All Souls tumblers. Then, when
glass became common, the round glasses
that stood on fiat base superseded the
exquisitely balanced silver spheres, and
stole their name so successfully that you
have to go to All Souls and few othe
old houses to see the real thing.
So do words, with the wonderful life
that is in them, change and grow and gel
fresh meanings, full of interest and teach
ing and delight to those who think about
them Wide AlUdke.

SOME OF POLLYS OBSERVA-
TONS.

The late Lord Chief Justice Cockburn
used to tell story of parrot case which
came before him; and, on the disputed
bird being brought into court, it eyed his
lordship with that peculiar sidelong look
of wisdom which the whole tribe affects
and then deliberately told the eminent
judge that in his-the parrots -opinion
the head of the English Bench was a
"hoary. headed old imposter."
OF happy accidental parrot remarks
one OF the quaintest is that attributed to
the parrot who had been brought up in a
public house bar, where business was
brisk. The poor bird escaped and got
lost, and the sorrowing publican went in
quest of his pet. In field close by he
discovered flock of angry and cawing
crows, rising and falling over some dane.
ing object; and on creeping up by the
hedge, he saw his beloved bird hopping
about and trying to ward off the in
dignant peckings of her irate enemies.
and, in her terror, unhappy Polly kept
calculating: "One at a time, gentlemen,
if you please; one at time. I'll attend
to you in a moment. Coming, sir. Less
noise, there, please. One at time, gen.
tleman, and I'll serve you allP

KITTY.

Alasl little Kitty-do give her your pityl
Had lived seven years, and was never called
pretty,
Her hair was bright red, and her eyes were
dull blue,
And her cheeks we're so freckled,
They looked like the specified
Wild lilies, that down in the meadow-lands
If her eyes had been black, If she'd only had
curls,
She had been. so she thought, the most happy
of girls.
Her cousins around her. they pouted and
fretted,
But they were all pretty, ahd they were all
petted;
While poor little Kitty, though striving ner
best
To do her child's duty,
Not sharing their beauty,
Was always neglected, and never caressed.
ALI in vain, SO she thought, was she loving
and true,
While her hair was bright red, and her eyes
were dull blue.
But one day, alone mid the clover-blooms
sitting,
She heard strange sound, as of wings round
her fitting;
A light not of sunbeams, fragrance more
sweet
Than the winds blowing over
The red-blossomed clover,
Made her thrill with delight from her head
to her feet;
And voice sweet and rare whispered low in
the air,
See that beautiful, beautiful child sitting
therel''
Thri ce blessed little Kittyl She almost looked
prettyl
Beloved by the angels, she needed no pity!
Ojuvenile charms! with shoulders of snow
Ruby lips sunny tresses,-
Forms made for caresses,-
There's one thing, my beauties! tits wei
you should know:
Though the world is in love with bright eyes
and soft hair,
1t is only good children the angels call fair

The complete title, which is

plains the character of this vol
ume. It's essentially doctrinGI
work, and discusses the general
subject from the New Testament
teaching, as interpreted by
UDiversalists. 1t presents the
Christian view of the resurrec-
ton, considers its nature, the
relation of the Present with the
Future Life, the conditions of
man in the future world, the
nature of the change wrought
by change of worlds, the res
direction body and the sinless
condition of the Resurrection
Life. 1t discusses various in

with our views of immortality,

The author bases his argument
on the Scriptures throughout
and unfolds his conclusions in
the luminous light of the in
spired Record. Incidentally he
shows the impotence of much
of the speculation and philoso-
ply entertained at the present
day. The book has grown out
of DIR. Quinby's work as an ed
itor in answering in the columns
of his newspaper the questions
of correspondents anxious to
learn the views of Universalists
on the subject of the Resurrec-
ton Life. Written in a clear,
direct and familiar style, it
meets a very general want, and
will build up its readers in the
faith and hope of the New Tes-
lament.
