Better Keep a Diary,

We have long been of this opinion f; but
we never saw the eXpediency Of il so well
stated as by this writer in the london
Magazine :" "If man keeps no diary,
the patti crumbles away behind him as his
feet leave it and days goue by are but
little more than blank, broken by few
distorted shadows. His life is all confined
within be limits Of Today. Who does
not knot how imperfect a thing memory
is? Itnot merely forgets it misleads.-
Things b memory do not merely fade away

mentS 81 long as they can he seen: they
change their aspect, they change their
place, tbey turn to something quite different
from the fact. In the picture of the past
which memory unaided by any written re.
cord sets before us, the perspectiveis is entire
ly wrong. How cOpriciously some events
seem quite recent, which the diary shows
are really far away, and how uHaccountably
many things look far away, which, in truth,
are not left many weeks behind us T.! A
man might almost as we'll not have lived at

entirely forget what he did on those depart

thought upon that day twelvemonths, that
day three or FIVE years. The trouble of
writing the diary is very small A few
lines, few words, written at the time,
suffice when you look at them, to bring all

of that season before you. Many little
things come up again, which you know
quite well YOU never would have thought
of again, but for your glance at those
words, and still which you feel you would
be sorry TO have forgotten. There must be

First ThnnlssnIYinU.

sOn December IL, 1921, the first Thanks
giving after the ingathering of the harvest,
was observed. A writer, as quoted by
Young, in his Chronicles of the Pilgrims,
says I'VE set, the last Spring. some TWEEN
ty acres Of Indian Corn and sowed some
SIX acres of barley and peas. Our corn prov.
ed well, and our barley inditferontly good
Our harvest being gotten in, our Governor
sent four men afowling, that so we might
after special manner, rejoice together af
ter we had gathered in the fruit Of our la
bors." This was the first Thanksgi vmg--
the harvest festivaTof New England On
this occasion they, no doubt, feasied Oh
wild turkeys as well as veniSon. "Thest
four men, 10 one day, killed as much fowl,
as, with a little help besides, served lbe
company almost a week, at which time a.
mong other recrealions, We exercised our
arms many of the Indians coming among
us, aud among the rest, their great king
MassasOit, with some ninety men, whom for
three days, we entertained aud feasted !;
and they went out and killed five deer, which
they brought TO the plantation, and hestow-
ed upon the Governor, and upon the cap
tain and Others"
This tulkey hunt before thanksgiving is
the origin of feasting on these fowls. The
custom has been transmitted to US after the
lapse Of two hundred and forty years Ev-
en- the stern Puritaus iudulged themselves
in recreAtions Oh these joyful occasions
Friends also paid each Other social visits.
Their friends, Massasoit and the ninety Of
his men, came TO visit the Pilgrims, and
partake of their recreatious.
