a THANKSGIVING Picture.

We clip the following beautiful extract
from an article which appeared in the North
Ioma Journal Of the 9th ult. .. ...
Mayhap some who read these well-meant
lines, remember Thanksgivings years ago, in
homes that are far awa'." You remember
the old homestead whittier every year came

sisters. You remember the kindly greetings

i" all together again the happy light from
eyes that had grown dim in watching the
footsteps of travellers who had gone out on
the winding path of life from the cradle they
watched. And the dinner--you haven't for
gotten that! There were the white heads
and cheerful, furrowed faces at one end Of
the table. and down, through manhood and
omanhood-young men and maidens-
girls and boys--to white hair again at the
other end: but this hung about round, ruddy
faces, and belonged to dear little bodies in
"high chairs" The turkeys, nicely Drowned,
were in the center, and the table filed in
every available space with something fit for
Thanksgiving. The golden pumpkin pies
were there of course, and the mince, which
had been chopped almost fine enough to pois-
on. All that was happy, noisy meal,
which began after a short, still season, when
even the little voices were hushed to hear the
blessings Of Him who had brought them all
together asked upon the food Then began
the tide of talk, from the thin, broken voices
at one end, down through bass, tenor, sweet
treble and childish voices, To the thin, unbro-
kcn merry voices at the other. eve decid-

place. in comfortable red-back chairs, looking
on at the frolics Of youth. The little white
heads were packed off to bed, to dream they
were turkeys, and had been stuffed. The
table in the corner was covered with apples

mouth. Possibly the young people tread

And how is it with those who were present
at the Thanksgiving you remember? The
noisy ones who occupied the high chairs

presided at this festive occasion may have
