Incidents Of Thanksgiving 'oeck.
'Wer, there, decare-it seems as if every
thing I've taken hold Of for week has gone
wrong exclaimed little fat bu.tling woman,
as her outer door was opened hy morning
visitor.
'Why what is the matter, Mrs. Smith ?? was
the interrogatory in response.
la is that you Miss Woodman? How do
YOU do? Come in and sit down, and Ill tell
you
well, let me help you pick these raisins,
while you are talking
so you may so you may-throw of your
hood and shawl, and sit up here 10 the table
There, I'm nicely fixed. Now what's gone
wrong?
well, to begin at the beginning, we thought
we wouldn't make any Thanksgiving this year.
You see there's nobody but husband and me
and little llannah-pOor chd-and we thought
we'd take it iair and easy, and not have any
thing out Of the common course. Let's see
this is Tuesday; well, Friday night we got a
letter from Nabby, telling us she was coming
down to spend Thanksgiving, but she was sor-
ry she couldn't be here I'LL "Wednesday night,
so as to help me prepare; but Mr., Johnson wa-
so busy they couldn't come a minute sooner,
Well, we thought if Nabby was coming we'd
send for Isaac and his wife, and Elihu and his
wife; Nabby's got four children, lsaac's got
three, and Flihu's got two--so there's quite a
little army OF lhem--and, OF course, we must
ready a little something.
so | went to work Saturday, and boiled a
piece of meat, and aud llannah-poor child
got it chopped and seasoned We'll, Mon
day We washed, and when looked at my long
table cloth found twas so yaler Ctaint been
used since last Thanksgiving day. that Id got
to wash it; and told Hannah to 90 bring me
the bottle OF washing fluid that Nabbv sent, and
I'd see how nice 'twould make my table cloth
look. So she brought il, and put generou,
dose, Ctwas after all the washing was done

nah washed It and hung it out. Wien she 20,
it done, told her the auds looked so nice, d
Just wash ont my new green calico gown; -
put it in, and it turned to a nasty spotted yal

Says she, that's the washing fluid

it OF The shelf told you 2
Yes said she.
And did you put it back where you got it 2
Yes said size.
So | went and looked, and no wonder my
