A THANKSGIVING HYMN.

Sacred wine Of loves libation
To the Father ever more,
Gratitude and conservation
From our hearts we'll daily pour.
In the hand extended DER us,
In the golden days behind,
In the sky-bright hopes before us.
Thy compassion we may find.
For the friendships that engirt us.
FoE affections sacred flame,
For Thy law which doth convert us.
We would magnify Thy name.
Thanks we give for home and nation.
For the blood that made us free,
Seeking still the contamination
OF our perfect liberty.
Fur the altar fires glowing
With religions holy light:
For the spirit breezes blowing:
For the faith transcending sight;
For the storm. the sun. the rainbow,
verdant pastures. pleasant ways
For Thy mercies' constant inflow
Hear our prisons of praise.

Register.

A MEMORABLE DINNER

It was Thanksgiving, and the first
time that Joyous occasion had fallen
since young Mrs. Lambkin had acquired
her matronly title. All the relatives on
both sides Of the house had been in.
vited to dine with the young pair, and
NIL had accepted. Consequently, 1t was
unfortunate that the cook had. that
morning, decided that she "couldn.t
abide no such doings" and taken tri-
umphant leave.
Mrs. Lamblsin sat weeping among the
unwashed breakfast dishes when her
husband appeared, staggering under q
market basket laden with holiday faro,
"oh, Alpheus, my heart is broken!"
she walled. "What will your mother
say?"
"But, you know, you have been no
proud Of your cookery; doubtless you
can prepare dinner yourself"
But only told Laura how to do it.n
sobbed his wife. ''Why was I ever
born?"

which another man drank. He was

either at Erie basin or by floating der

will be cleaned, scraped and painted.
This work. with fixing spars and rigging,
will take four days. She still lies be-

ATALANTA'S ROUGH VOYAGE
George Gould's Yacht Has a Stormy
nenpn

QUARANTINE, S. l., Aug. 10. 1885,
George j. Gould's handsome steam yacht,
Atlanta, arrived from a few minutes
after midnight last night from South
ampton via Falmouth and st. Johns,
N. F. Mr. Gould was not on the yacht,
and there were no passengers except
Captain Todd's wife. The Atlanta had
a very tough time of it at the start.
She left Southampton on August Sd
and almost immediately encountered
strong westerly gales and high head
seas. which made it prudent to seek
shelter at Falmouth. On Aug the
weather improved somewhat and another
start was made The wind was still
from the westward and gradually in
creased in force until it was blowing
a full gale again. The trim yacht made
very good weather of it considering all
things and resolutely dipped her clipper
bow into the hugh surges without
taking any considerable amount of water
on board. The strong westerly winds and
gales lasted until 40 degrees west was
reached when the weather moderated,
but the high westerly swell continued.
The yachts course was shaped for ST.
the coal bunkers. This port was reached
on the morning of the 18th, and the
run to this place was without particu-
lar incident, no fog of consequence
painted white with .cream-colored fun
mel. Considering the long, rough voyage
she has had. her appearance is remarka-
bly, neat and trim, and. although an old
Yacht she will compare very favor
ably with the more modern floating PAL

MAY MOI SEND A TEAM.
By Cable to the United Press.

LONDON. Aug. 10. 1s95.-A leading
athletic authority has informed the Uni
ted Press that it is still doubtful whether
the London Athletic Club viii send a
team to America to compete with a team
from the New York Athletic Club. All
the meetings that have been held by
the committee appointed by the London
Athletic Club to select team have been
very stormy. To add to the troubles of
the committee. several of the athletes
selected to represent the club in America
have now declined to go. F. c. Brodin,
who was to have taken part in the 40
yard and $50 yard races. sent a letter
to the committee on Saturday last. in
which he stated that he would not go
with the team. f. e. Bacon. who was
slated for the one mile and three mile
runs. and DIR. w. ]. M. Barry, the Irish
hammer thrower also say that they will
not go. w. Fitz Herbert, who was
chosen as one of the clubs representa-
tives in the 440 yard and 220 yard races,
is in doubt as to whether he ought to
accompany a team that is partly COM
posed of semi professional men. T here
are no really good men to fill the va
cancies caused by the refusal of the men
named to take part in the contests.

Wnrallfus In n Completed Elffice.

The congregation of James Methodist
Church, Summit avenue and Bowers
street. celebrated yesterday the formal
opening of the church edifice. For the
past eight years James Church building
has remained unfinished. The auditor
ium on the upper floor was never fin
ished. Lack of funds was the cause. Ser
vices were held in the Sunday School
room on the lower floor until enough
money could be raised to continue the
work. The members of the church work
ed hard and did much of the labor
themselves.
A day of rejoicing took place yesterday
when for the first time, services were
held in the large room. Bishop E. G..
Andrews of New York City preached in
the morning. The Rev. P.9yC. Bascom
of Newark. and the Rev. John F. .Dodd
of New York, former pastors of the
church. addressed the congregation in
the evening.
In the afternoon reunion of all the
old pastors of the church was held. The
Rev E. O. Howland, the present pastor,
opened subscription fund and s1200. was
raised for the further completion of the
church. Each member donated S12.

thingo he would 'push it along" until he
came across some one that wanted to ptlr-
