ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING DAY.

When New England was first planted the
settlers met with many difficulties and hard
ships, as is necessarily the case when a clplllz-
ed people attempt to establish themselves in "a
wilderness country. Being piousy disposed.
they sought relief finm Heaven, by laying their
wants aud dstresses before tie Lord in frequent
set days of fasting and prayer. Constant medl-
iaton, and discourse on the subject OF their diff
ficul,ies, kept their minds gloomy and dlscou-
tented, and, like the children OF Israel, there
We're many disposed to return to the land which
persecution determined them to abandon
AT length, when it was proposed III the as
sembY to proclaim another fast, farmer Of
plain sense, rose, and remarked, that the incon-
yeniences they suffered, and concerning which
they had SO often wearied Heaven with their
complaints, We're not SO great as might have
been expected, and were diminishing every day
as the colony strengthened; that the earth be-
gan to reward their Iabors, and to furnish lpe-
rally for their susenance that The sea and rivers
we're full Of fish, the air sweet, the climate
wholesome above all hey were in the enjoy

fore thought that rejecting and conversing Oh
these subjects would be more comfortable, as
tending to make them more contented with
their situation and that it would be more be
coming the gratitude they owed to the Divine
Being, if instead Of fast, they should proclaim
a Thanksgiving. His advice was taken; and
from that day to this, they have in every year
observed circumstances OF public happiness sut-
6cient to furnish employment for a thauksgiv-

THE DYING YEAR.

Breathing requiem sad and low,

Darkness hath spread its pail,
And Time his steps seems strsying,
How slowly doth their echo fail
Through the silent chamber s.raying

And the hour is dread and holy
His breath is faint and his pulses chime
More fitfuliy and slowly;
His eye is glazing now
Hushi stihe cen thy signing!

For the gray Old year is dying.
Wei! may thy heart be sad
We'll may thine eye be weeping
For many hope and joy of thine
Has he in his silent keeping.
They pass with the dying year,
And their light knows no returning,
And thy soul shall mourn for the fleeting ra,
That passed as meteor burning.
Come near-eome bow thee down.
