THANKSGIVING.

Next THURSDAY is the day appointed by the Gov
errors Of New Hampshire. Vermont, Massachu-
sets and Rhode Island for day Of thanksgiving
and praise for the manifold blessings bestowed up
On us individually and as nation In most Of
the other States, Thursday Of this week was SINH
ln-ly observed.
Thanksgiving is an institution Of New England
origin. lts birthplace was rear Plymouth Rock
From this small beginning II has spread until in
almost every Northern State It has been trans
planted. But It fcurishes best on its native soil.
1t is here that it is Observed much according to
the customs Of our ancestors and in its true sig
nihcanee. All New Englandcrs, genuine sons Of
our Pilgrim fathers, unite in making this day one
Of htnilyrcunion when father, mother. sister and
brother shall gather round in the Old family man
sion, aud, as in days long past thank the Giyor q
all good for the bes,owal Of the blessings first
youchsafei to our iorefathers, nos enjoyed By Us,
and to pray for their continuance to coming gene
ratious
We have, Individually and as people among
the nations of the earth, much TO be thankful for
We can praise the great Father Of US all for life
and health, for freedom, for abundant harvests,
Tor political and religious liberty for free bibles
snd free schools. for the freedom Of the public
press, and for all the common blessings Of life
which have been 50 bountifally bestowed upon u.s.
We are glad to observe that in these latter years
Thanksgiving has conc to be regarded more in the
light Of social festival than formerly. Indeed Il
is the only day in the calendar Of this country
that is regarded in that aspect, II is the only day
in the year that is especially devoted to the cult
Vaiion and perpetuity o. the social affections. 1t
has been properly said, " Make people happier
aud you make them better" During most Of the
ether days Of the year pursue the cares q BUSH
ness and labor with an anxiety and a speed that
ELECTS the aslonishmcnt Of people Of other eoun-
tries. Like our railroads and steamboats,, We eat
drink and work on the high pressure principle.
AMID so much hurry and hustle there should he
day every year when we can lay aside this routine,
meet around the old family hcarths,one aud renew
the affections and sympathies OF our earlier years
day when we can, in memory and association at
least, live over again the scenes Of our childhood
and youth, and gladden. our eyes with vision Of
those objects that have each cft their own story
written the tablets Of our hearts For these
purposes no day seems appropriate as Thanks
giving. The sincere though silent homage Of CRATE
ful happy hearts is the most suitable praise We can
render to Him from whom all these blessings flow.
