Matters at Sebastopol had changed and sctivi-

As we journey onward it is well for US to
pause at each milestone along the pathway
Of existence, and note the changes in Life's
drama,-to gaze through the vista of the Past,
and live over again in memory, the well-rr-
mefnbered scenes Of other days. 1t is true, we
may be far from the old homestead from
those we tove-far from the family group where
once we sat, and where remains one vacant
chair; still life has IFS, pleasures and its en-
dearments, and there are those about US, who,
travelingthe same road, and experiencing the
same feeling, cheer us onward to our destined
end. To-day the heart dances 10 the music of
memory. To-day, Time on his pinions, car
ries US back to the convivial gatherings of the
past. Ea1'i Fs'9 a'8' 7fSs79i beRt9-7 sr rig r.

While, however, We indulge in reverie of
by-gone days, let US not forget 10 be thankful
for present blessings. Thankful that We live
in a free and happy country. Thankful that
war does no, desolate the land. Thankful that
the earth has yielded plentifully, and that each
husbandman has garnered up the fruitful pro-
ducts Of his toll. Thankful that We enjoy civ.
il and religious liberty and let us hope that but
few more Thanksgiving will pass, when the
down trodden of our own and of every other
nation, will sing song Of thanksgiving over
their redemption from the thraldom of slavery.
