"THANKSGIVING.O

Br SAMUEL H. BILLS.
on Thou, who hsldest in Thy hand,
The mountain, plain and sea,
This day of resting, love and thanks,
We dedicate to Thee.
We know that all things, great and small,
Are under thy control
The tinniest ray of sunshine and
The seasons as they roll.
The merry sprngtime comes in turn,
With mild refreshing showers,
Calling from their WINERY homes
The birds, the bees and flowers.
The tees are all in blossoms then
The young and tender shoot,
THY care and love brings forth in time,
To rich delicious fruit.
Soon as the springtime's gone away,
And summer COMES along,
The red bird, on the willow bough,
Sings out his happy song.
There's not a fash of sunshine, or
A little star above,
Whose likeness dances in the lake,
But speaks Thy wonderous love.
Then autumn comes, with sober smiles,
O'er meadow, hill and plain,
Seeking on zephyr wings to find
And gld the ripenng grain.
The sunset threws its crimson'd rays
Around on earthly things,
And floating clouds, all bathed in gold,
Are bright, like angels wings.
We see Thee in morn's rosy blush,
And in the deep blue sky
We hear Thee in the Towers hymns,
And when "the ravens cry"
10 all things fair and beautiful,
Thy handy work displays
n filial care, that Fl lis the heart
With gratitude and praise.

o'clock the next morning saw the body of the
good little man brought up from the bottom.
He was dressed in his usual cloth clothes, with

put on a pair of boots, and placed his slippers
