Thanksgiving Day--The American Man


All whose lot 10 cast in free America should
have thankful hearts. We fret a good deal at
laws and customs which lily suit our temper
aments, but, considered as to all our privileges,
tbisIis country to be thankful for. A thou
sand wrongs remain to be righted, but hui
menity ia called to q divinity OF influences,
developing and maturing 1t for tho highest
capabilities. We have especial reason 70 be
thankful that thinking lsboring men have
been taken for the "mud- sills" Of our society.
II Is the thinking, designing, and executing
race, from whom our temporal blessings under
benignant providence flow. 1t Is the gar
dener, the plowman, the mechanic, the artisan,
che architect, who make the work Of the pol
itician and dsmagogus possibly endurable.
We, as Americans, have heritage in our well
formed political institutions for which we are
cordially grateful. For the unShackled press,
The freedom of thought and speech, the SOW
sreignty of the people, we owe due thanks to
our straightforward fathers, and ws should
make this day Of almost national Observance,
the occasion of self-inauiry, Of sslf-exsmina-
ton. We, the sons Of patriotic sires, in con-
sidering our privileges enjoyed, will have to
conclude that we have not beon very dsserv-
ing of praise for their use, but this We can do,
we can make amends for the future. I,,
Our hrst neglect as people is, we have
allowed immense numbers Of children to grow
up In ignorance and crime. There can bs no
mistake about the practical mischief of per-
uniting youthful man to become confirmed
man In laziness and vice. Our mission as
people Is to develope ourselves, and our educa-
sion commences with the youth. Our second
neglect is in misestmating personal industry,
o undertaking the usefulness of the labOrer
and the mechanic. We must be skilled in our
work. Thanks, then, for instructors Of youth,
for the inventor, tho draughtsman, the pattern
maker, the man of fertile ideas in mechanics,
and for the men Of the workshop and day
labor, as well as for the Instructor in the phil
osophy Of mind. Thanks for past exam pies,
models for observance and warnings of avoid
ance--thanks for the expansive present and
hopeful future. If to-day be Individually i'm
proved as true Americans, the future will be
one Of progress to elevate the laborer ,and will,
his material advancement, his sure establish
ment as the American man. The foundation
atone, the bottom plank Of our political edifoe,
is the well-informed, we'll -trained, industrious,
voting and laboring man. ,.'
The Cholera--Quassia Reported Cure.
This scourge has made its appearance ut
Wick, city Of the north Of Scotland, aud
also in Paris. A Sanitary Board has taken
charge Of remedial measures in the former
city. Among the new cures offered, we are
informed that the Faculty In Paris have un-
der consideration one proposed by a DR..
KoEIssBERaER, who, friend informs US, was
for many years physician to the Queen Of
Lahore, India. DR.. KoNIasRRReER comes be
fore the world, stating on behalf Of himself
that for the long space OF thirty years, he has
given the subject his almost undivided atten
tion, and 1t is his conviction that the disease
soccasioned by the absorption of atmospheric
animalculs invisible TO the naked eye, and
inhaled into the lungs, whence they distribute
themselves throughout the whole system, cor
rupting the blood and poisoning the foun-
tains Of life. DR.. KoN1GsgERsEa's INQUIRIES
as to the best means for destroying this new
insect life within the human system has re.
sulted in his adoption Of QuAssrA, which, be-
ing inserted, or administered, after tho
method Of vaccination, arrests (he declares
IN the instant the decomposition Of the blood,
aud the patient is cured a. if by miracle.
