Wisconsin tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1847-1854, 1850-11-28

II At this particular time, the following
origin of thanksgiving day, which we copy
from the Chicago Journal, may not be unin-
teresting to readers
When New England was first planted, the
settlers met with many difficulties and hard
ships as is necessarily the case when a civil
Ized people attempt to establish themselves
IN wilderness country Being piously dis
posed, they sought relief from Heaven, by
laying their wants and dstresses before the
Lord, in set days of fasting and PRAYER
Constant meditation and discourse on the
subject of their difficulties, kept their minds
gloomy and discontinued, and like the chill
dfen OF Israel, there were many disposed to
return to the land which persecution had de-
termined them to abandon.
At length, when 1t was proposed in the
assembly to proclaim another fast, a farmer
OF plain sense, rose, and remarked that the
inconvenience they suffered. and concerning
which they had so often wearied Heaven with
their complaints, were not so great might
have been expected, and were diminishing
every day, as the colony strengthened that
the earth began to reward their labors, and to
furnish literally for their sustenance; that
the seas and rivers were full of fish. the air
sweet, the climate wholesome, and above all,
they were In full enjoyment of liberty, civil
and religious. He therefore thought, that re-
fiecting and conversing on these subjects
would be more comfortable, as tending to make
them more contented with their situation; and
that it would be more becoming the rsctitude
they owed to the Divine Being. if, instead of
fast, they should proclaim Thanksgiving.
His advice was taken, and, from that day to
this, they have in every year, observed cir
cumstances of public happiness sufficient to
furnish employment for Thanksgiving Day.
