THANKSGIVING.
SAINT N1cKALAs HorrELI, Nov 10, 1857. /
Eddvturs of the Sunday Times:
Sartin long-faced Christyuns as consldders
this wt1rld made expressly for weepin and wall
in in, is of opinyun thatthe gunner oughter heV
appinted mex Thursday for fast lnsted oil a
(eest. Accordn to thar creed, spose, SIN gets
fat and sarsy on turkey and pulkin PIE anu
kant be got out of the system by no process but
staryashin. Ef that's the right prescription LOT
the cure of soles, l Should say that thousands
of laborin men in the city OF New York is mucn
ucerer hevin than they've emmy idee Some OF
en-, and thar wives and young uns, nave lasted
long enough, should imadiin, to tamish out the
most obstnit son of snlir that ever sot astrlde1
of n sinners konshinse. 1t seems, howsever,
as eff the devil rayther tuck advantage OF an
empty stummick, to sneck in and sudjest an I'M
Iorfui grab at the loves and fishes. dessay,
though. that nuthin to ect would agree with the
morril constituShinS of fat aldermen and coun-
cilmen and offs holders, and demmygogs GIN
rallv don't no as the Lord is angry with the
citv of New York, and don't no as lie amt,
Int I moshin as folders: Let the hull city guver-
Inent, and all the contractors and thieves cum
Danyuns that hunks with EN- in the same oeu
| Of corrupshin keep a black fast next Thursday,
and let all that they would have eaten and
drank on that day be given to the poor. Let eacn
Ioffis-holder be accomplished with tull suite oil
sackcloth and ashes Tor tar and feathers, ct pre-
ferD in place of thar fine linen and brOadcloth,
witch | would hev divided, as far as it would CO.
amung the misabul retches they have deprived
of n chanst to work on the Central Park and
luther public improvements, by aOStractn the
munney that oughter be disburSt IN wages
rharS no doubt the bubble operaShln would ben
Inyfit both parties, and CT the hunger dissyplin
could be confined on the corporashin authori-
tees till they refunded thar steelins, | think 1t
would be almassifu disP>nsashin for thar i'm
mortal sperrits. Thar may perhaps, bea decent
man, or two in the gang; and ct so, lde let EN-
cum out from the gang like Lot and kumPany
from the anshint Salt Lake city, and take thar
EthankSgivcn rashins with respectable peepul as
never deserved to git out stone
Serrlsly, its blasphemious, and nuthn short
err, to insniate that we've more cause for mortify-
in the flesh than praisin the Lord. Natur mas
yecded us the everlastinist kwantlty OF provln-
der for man and beest that ever was shared up
OH the sile of America. Neither plaig, pcstI-
lence nor famine has drapt in upon our surplus
poppylashin. Peace and plenty is the ticket
lin coarse, it kant be dcnide that raleroad
lcorporashins hes bust up and banks sus-
pended, but what hes that to do with the
blessing of Providence? don't bleYe that the
Giver Of all good thingsthinks emmy more of a
raerode liumpany, ora board OF brokers or
bank, than do of a skunk. They're like
powder housen, all the time eli; a6m to PI9% , up
outer the luylt asylum nose Lhc lack, why III le
name of swindEn don't the fools stand from I'M
der? Ef thars emmy wun thing for witch we
hevent reesin to be thankful, it is that swindlin
legislators and monnopyists, and stock gam
blers and secth, isent snaked off the face of the
airth whar they amt wanted and put whar they
belong, They've got to go hum sum day or nth
er, and whats the use of kecpin thar friends
forever, and the fires runnin to waste? Nlebbee
its intended they should repent!-mebbe it is;
| never thort of that. Let EN- go to church
next Thursday and try. But its no good pray
ing onlcss they mend. The flour dealers kant
be saved cf they die, while hours 81 barrel,
and the cattle merchints and forestallers of pro-
riooce stand the all-slimmest possabnl chanst of
findin thar way to glory eff they tizzle ont while
beef is eighteen pence pound and potatoes a
dollar and n hafe bushil. The oney true re-
lpentence for all setch sinners is reduckshin OF
prices. They kant deceive the Lord Of the Har-
vest. He who made the beef and the potatoes,
knows their market value to red, f" and every
huckster that buys EN- up at fair rates, and sells
EN- to the poor at a hundred per cent profit in
hard times, will nave to smoke for it in the re-
gion whar water kant he had at any ffgger.-
Setch, my cddytorial friends, is the Christyun
sentiments of
Yours, allus, A DIsBANDED VOLUNTEER.
