Valuable seyres Porcelain.

The Philadelphia Record says Mrs.
George Biddle has just presented some
implanted Sevres porcelain to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. which calls up
the sad ending of the wretched Louis
XVI. of France and his unfortunate
Queen, Marie Antoinette. When the
King and Queen were meditating that
last flight from Paris. which so nearly
proved successful, being in want of
money they turned to Gouverneur Nor
ris, who was at that time United States
Minister to the French Republic, and
offered to him a valuable collection of
early pieces of porcelain from the Serves
Factory, including an implanted group
representing the return of Telemachus.
Mr.. Morris bought the collection, which
subsequently passed from his control
and came TO this city. Along with these
pieces Mrs. Biddle has also presented to
the university's Museum of Archaology
a remarkable piece of implanted Sevres
porcelain representing the famous
D'Aguesseau, Chancellor of France.

For the RECoRD-UNIoN.l
NOW AND THEN.

On! what wealth OF beautiful flowers,
In columns and wheels and gates ajar--
Dlals, that show the souls Hitting hours,
Pillows and anchors-how lovely they are
0lckIes anu wreatns, stars, crowns and
crosses;
Fragrant and sweet their odors spread,
Telling all mutely OF hearts sad losses,
And OF Loves tribute We pay our dead.
Were 1t not better whilst they are living
II each OF the loved ones near to us now
Might be receiving, and we were giving
Daily some blossoms to tighten each brow?
Better a flower on the pulse-warm breast
Than the rarest ana loveiest garland when
Upon a lifeless bier il has to rest.
Why not give them bouquet now and
then?
Think oft OF your mother, dear girls and boys,
Honor now the love that Tor you she bears;
Remember how few, perhaps, may be her lows,
so busy each day with her household cares;
Her hands that SO tenderly serve you now
May be sadly missed when women aud men;
No touch SO gentle will sooth your brow,
SO place in them a bouquet now and then
Try how you can tighten your fathers tread,
Ii feeble, or weary at eve from toll,
And put TO the checks the roses red,
Rather than plants in the grayeyards soil;
And scatter the buds on their paths along:
Make them as bright as tlowery glen,
Blossoms may bring TO their hearts song
Ii you give 10 them bouquet now and tnen.
Let them sometimes inhale a purfumed
breath
So swiftly neeting are this lifes short hours,
DO not wait till il is closed in death
mus brighten The homes with pattering feet
Of our smart little maids and coming men,
Where baby whose breath is always sweet
Comes as Loves bouquet, to them now and
then. W. B. BUTTON

The professor Turned the rabies.

The other day, while Bowdoin Col
lege professor was holding recitation,
some mischievous student induced a
hand-organ man to come up to the hall
Marie" the boys all joining in the chorus.
The professor came out, hat in hand, and
passed it to everyone Of the students out
side, exhorting them to be generous.
Taking the money collected, he gave it
to the hand-organ man and told him in
German to leave the campus, which he
did without delay, while it slowly dawned
on dozen crestfallen students that a
practical joke had been perpetrated.-

Compulsory action is desirable, of
course. and, indeed, imperative, if direct
temptation is to be removed from the
pathway of men. The gambling evil is
diminished by the absence Of convenient
places in which 10 practice it, as is drunk
enness by the lack of saloons. Moreover,
whole train of immoral influences sur
round the known gambling the
poIlcy-shop and the race-track, affecting
injuriously those who take no part in the
offeness themselves. But gambling is.
far less than social drinking, vice
which men acquire through the force of
example or the frequency of opportunity.
1t IS a general instinct, confined to no
class or time of life, and strong with both
civilized and savage peoples. To eradi-
cate 1t there must be desire that it shall
be eradicated, and to create this desire
there must be the same process of educa-

DIANA UP 10 DATE.

Diana chaste was ne'er subdued
By Love, not felt the "spOoning" mood;
she lived virgins life with grace,
And was the Empress of the Chase;
She is the prototype to-day.
OF few who care TO live that way,
We have Dianas even yet,
But they're not like this ancient pet;
For they are all, or else have been,
Engaged in chasing only men;
Some are the winners at one aim
And some take years to bag their game.
Diana ehaste was never chased
BY a successful sutton;
Though Cupid many darts did waste
In his attempts to shoot her;
He must have been n silly Jay,
TO think he could Diana sway.
Oh, Heaven bless that growing class
on termed, ''Old maids" who once, alas
May have been deep In love, but now
Are mourning DER some broken vow;
Each one may be Cts but surmise)
a chaste Diana in disguise.

SIN every way the end of November
is ill-adapted for the great National
Thanksgiving of America" observes the
New York Ctaerchlna1e (P. e.. sit is at
present neither a harvest festival nor an
occasion when the enterprises of the year
can be surveyed and their success esti-
mated. Nor does it coincide with any
secular anniversary, like Columbus Day,
nor with any religious anniversary, like
Christmas. 1t is among all human cele-
bratlons set in time the most incongru-
Gus, Irrational and absurd. 1t is not too
much that, coming at such a time, it has
quite outliyed the sympathy and enthu-
slasm Of a large majority Of the people,
and in consequence is, in nine cases out
of ten, unworthily observed. The only
purpose it at present serves is to give
breathing spell of twenty-four hours to
overworked people. TO others it is an
excuse Tor ldleness, and carries with 1t
no sentiment Of patriotism or religion at
all. Yet Thanksgiving Day might and
should be the great day when patriotic
enthusiasm and religious gratitude unite
IN the calm hours OF early autumn to keep
high and solemn festival. One way of
rendering mems minds alive to the no.
lion that the day is associated with the
lngathering of crops and the close of the
earth's working season, is TO antedate 1t
at least a month. Unless it be thus ante
dated. it is likely eventually TO become
a festival in no real sense Of the word,
except so far as a festival may be held to
consist in pagan hilarity, the slaughter
Of turkeys and the enjoyment OF idle
ness

1.-The truth is, we suppose" says the
Boston CORgregdtionat3St, that most &C
tive and powerful minds have a natural
bias which tends TO carry them in one di-
rection in their religious thinking. There
are born Calvinists and born Arrninians
men who have an innate dislike TO set
forms and men TO whom ritual is the very
breath of spiritual life. Holmes could
never have rested satisfied in his fathers
church any more than Newman could
have remained permanently in a Protest
ant communion. Ii strong men follow
the bent of their own thinking, and go to
their own place, however, there are
others who change because they are too
weak to resist the current in which they
happen to be caught. One of the decisions
of the present age is that instability in re-
ligious thinking is sign Of strength. 1t
is true that strong men change, but just
in proportion TO their sincerity and
strength, the transition from the old posi-
ton TO the new is difficult and anxious
one. He who has grasped the meaning
of any creed or form of worship, and
known how much of the essential truth
it includes and illustrates. will find it hard
to abandon it for another, which, al
though it may bring relief from some
difficulties, will surely bring others in its
train. It is the shallow man who goes
alphabetically from creed to creed and
church to church"

THE REVIVAL.

AT the Christian church, cOnduc ted
by Evangelist B. B. Sanders, of Aus
tin, Texas, is largely attended WITH
an increased interest at each
service. While Mr.. Sanders has
clear cut conceptions of truth and
duty, presenting them with All earn
rstness and simplicity that do not fail
to carry convictions to his audience
that he wonderfully believes the mes
sage that he is delivering, he has pro-
found respect for the understanding
and conviction of others from whom
he differs. Such preaching as he is
doing will certainly cause every one
hearing him to examine anew his
spiritual latitude and longitude and
see whether his cause is in accord
ance with the teaching of Jesus of
Nazareth and his holy apostles. You
cannot hear Mr.. Sanders without
feeling OF your spiritual pulse and
sec whether 1t is beating in UNISON
with the bible. So far as we have
heard, all speak eglouistically OF his
preaching ability and say they have
not only been edited and instructed i'll
the way OF the Lord but highly enter
tanned also. This meeting has already
resulted in great good to this city by
the CONVEX sion of tuners and cement
ing the hear of Christian people. The
singing of the choir, led by Prof E.
NJ. Douthit aud wife is simply grand,
while the solos of Prof. Douthit
charm the audiences. With such
preaching and singing great meet
ing must be the result. Services
each afternoon at $50 and each even
| ing at 8:15. Baptising Friday alter
