Thanksgiving Anthem.

To Thee, great God ! onr thanks we pay,
Assembled in Thy courts to-day;
Let clouds Of grateful incense rise,
From all that dwell below the skies.
To Thee we consecrate this hour,
On every hand we see Thy power
Rocks, hills, and plains, Thy glories speak,
And streams that from the mountains break
The little songsters of the wood
On Thee depend for daily food
And with glad voices sweetly raise
Their joyous notes of grateful praise.
Thy goodness crowns the closing year
Thy mercies everywhere appear
Thy Providence surrounds us still,
And keeps us safe from every i'll.
Let one harmonious anthem rise
To God who formed the earth and skies
Let ocean with majestic song,
The swelling harmony prolong.
Praise, everlasting praise, belongs
To God above in all our songs
Hosannas to the Eternal King!
From whom alone all blessings springs

A CLERICAL HORSE THEA couple weeks
ago, preacher named Elijah Bowen, was ar
rested at Harrisburg, on charge of horse
stealing. He is a man whose head is now whi-
tened by the SHOWS of more than seventy win
ters. He is JerseYman and has for thirty
years past distinguished himself as the Dick
Turpin of horse-thieves. at camp-meetings
he would mount any horse he fancied and hur-
ry away to parts unknown. While preaching
against the proclamation of the Sabbath, he
would manage to borrow horse to go to the
ssnext vilage'' and then ssappropriate'' it
without any conjunction. 1t is rather singu-
lar that in the long catalogue of offences a.
gainst Bowen, they are all for stealing horses
and wagons. He was once sentenced to the
New Jersey State prison. From his appear
ance, no one would for a moment suppose him
to be anything else but a very respectable,
honest man. And yet he seems to have per-
feet mania tor horses and wagons, and takes
them wherever he can find them, for the adven-
ture, novelty or amusement of the business.

GENUS AND LABoR.-Alexander Hamilton
once said to an intimate friend .sMen give

that have lies just in this When 1 have a
subject in hand, study it profoundly. Day
and night it is before me. L explore it in all
its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded
with it. Then the effort which L make is what
the people are pleased to call the fruit of ge-
MUS. 1t is the fruit of labor and thought
Mr.. Webster once replied to gentleman
who pressed him to speak subject of
great importance ssThe subject interests
me deeply, but have no time. There sir,''
pointing to huge pile of letters on the table,
is pile of unanswered letters, to which
must reply before the close of the session,
(Which was then three days off, 1 have not
time to master the subject so as to do it JUS
tice.''
ssBut Mr.. Webster few words from you
would do SO much to awaken public attention
to it.''
ssIf there be much weight in my words
as you represent, it is because do not allow
myself to speak on any subject till l have
imbued my mind With it.''
DemOsthenes was one urged to speak on
great and sudden emergency. 81 am not pre-
pared" said he, and obstinately refused.
The law of labor is equally binding on ge-

Gilbert, living at Yarmouth, Canada West,
eloped with his wife's sister, on the morning
of the day she was to have married one Henry
Locke The friends of both parties were in

excitement in the village grew apace. Gill
bert charged Miss Blewitt with seducing him.
and she contendcd the seduction was the other
way The brothers of the girl took her home
and kept her under strict surveillance. Gill
bert could not see her, and he wrote letters
appointing meetings, &c. Finally he was
given to understand that he could see his in
amorata at certain hour of the night. He
approached the house, preconcerted signal
having been given, when one of the infatuated
girls brothers shot him with buckshot through
the body, but not dangerously wounding him.
He ran off to q cottage hard by, but the in
mates knowing him, would not admit him-so
he was oblidged to seek succor elsewhere A
kinsman denied him admittance to his inno-
cent home, but took him to his (Giibert's)
house. The brother who shot him is under
arrest, and Gilbert is trying to get well, pro-
missing to shoot the whole tribe of Blewitts.
