PARTY PREJUDICE.-A good anecdote is told
of countrvman from New York who was visit
ing Washington at the time Mr.. Van Buren, was
Vice President. Our friend was q red hot Dem
o:rat, and of course held Mr.. Van Buren, in the
highest reverence. lie sat in the circular gallery
of the Senate, gazing at the Vice President, and
with mingled feeling of awe and state pride,
when suddenly Il tall and maj estic form appear
ed at the side of the hall and beckoned to MIR.
Van Buren,. There was little business doing,
and the Vice President, calling Senator to the
chair, joined the person mentioned, when both
seated themselves on sofa, both snufad from
the same box, the hand of the Vice President was
laid payfully upon the knee of his companion,
and every now and then hearty laugh would
escape them, showing that whatever might be the
topic they were discussing it was one which was
agreeable to both.

dent ?" asked our country friend, turning to a
person near him.
''No, sir"

from the hall firmly believing that the country
was lost.

TUESDAY, NOV. Ia, 1854.

THANKscWlNG.-It will be seen by reference
to our advertising column that Gov. German, in
compliance with time-honored custom has ap-
pointed the Dist of December as a day of Thanks
giving. This act will meet the approval of every
true hearted American, for Thanksgiving day is
peculiarly an American institution. The Pill
grim Fathers on the barren shore of Plymouth
appointed a day of Thanksgiving, and the Gus
tom has been honored by their defendants to our
own day, and bids fair to descend to all coming
ages, hallowed rs great national Jubilee-so
NAV it ever be. On that day the thoughts of
our countrymen should revert to the time and
place where the first Thanksgiving was held
Men who in Europe had battled with kings and
priests for the liberty of conscience, and driven
from their homes had buifeted the stormy waves
of an unknown ocean and landed on a, to them,
unknown shore, amid the storms and SHOWS of Il
New England iwinter-those were the men who
inaugurated the day. On that rock-bound shore
it had its origin; and there, too, the cradle of
republican liberty. Born in gloom, nurtured in
storms and baptized in blood they have been
together transmitted to US from those who knew
no master but the God whom they worshipped on
that day-and on that day may their memories be
reyered.
There are other not unpleasant memories con-
nected with Thanksgiving Day, especially to the
New Highlander memories of happy reunions
beneath the paternal roof where every thanks
giving dav they were wont to gladden. the hearts
of the '.old folks at home" by meeting around
the old hearth stone, eating the Thanksgiving
dinner, not forgetting the apples, nuts and cider
in the evening. To the young the very mention
of the day brings visions of cake, confectionery,
''chicken ixins," &C., eevating the Juvenile idea
far above ''common doings," so that their only
wish is that Thanksgiving would come twice a
week.
Thus Thanksgiving day should be day kept,
loved and honorcd by ali-the patriot, the christ
ian, the old, middle aged, and young can find
much of interest in the observance of this time
honored custom.

SCRIPTURE ILLUsTRArIoN.-'' The Sun shall not
smte thee by Day, the Moon by Night"
Ps. cxxI. 6. Mr.. Crane, in his Letters from the
East, has observed ssThe effect of the moonlight
on the eyes in this country egypt is singularly
wards they also did in Arabia, always cover your
eyes when you sleep in the open air. 1t is rather
strange that the above passage IN the Psalms
should not have been thus illustrated, as the al
fusion seems direct. The moon here really strikes
and affects the sight when you sleep exposed to
1t much more than the sun; a fact of which had
very unpleasant proof one night, and took care
to guard against it afterwards. Indeed the sight
of aperson who should sleep with his face exposed
AT night would soon be utterly impaired or des-
troyed."
