THE FESTIVAL OF THANKSGIVING.
IlTS RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL OBSERVANCE.
SERMONS BY OUR LEADING DIvINEs
THE DAY AMONG THE POOR AND L0WLY.

Thanksgiving Day in New York has seldom been
more generally nor more devoutly observed than
yesterday With full hearts, thankful for the mani
fold mercies which kind Providence has showcred
upon us through the year that is past and hopeful
that in His infinite goodness the evils which now
overshadow our beloved country may speedily pass
away with the year that is to come, the citizens Of
the Metropolis reverenty offered up their grateful
homage. The churches were unusually throngod
with worshippers. Pastors prayed for IN honorable
and lasting peace, and all the people cried amen.
The sermons, might be supposed, all have refer
ence, more or less prominently to the events Of the
war; and possess, therefore, unusual interest, mas.
much as they may be supposed to reflect, in meas
ure, the popular opinion of this community.
The social observance Of the day was quiet and
cheerful. There were comparatively few street
demonstrations and no scenes Of disorder TO mar the
general harmony. While the wealthy and the well.
TODD did Justice to the traditions of the day at home,
they did not forget the poor and lowy around them.
From ten thousand sources there flowed through
public and through private channels bountiful
stream Of good things into the lap Of Indulgence and
helplessness All charitable institutions con-
tributed to the good cheer of their inmates and
thousands of noble souls found yesterday their great
est delight, in ministerng to the wants and looking
upon the happiness Of their less favored fellow
creatures.
Below we present an outline Of the sayings and
doings, the hopes and aspirations, the good deeds
and kind words of Thanksgiving Day in the city.

Home for the Children OF Deceased or Dis
ablcd Soldiers.

The first Thanksgiving meeting Of the inmates Of
the Institution for the Children Of Deceased or Dis
abcd Soldiers and their friends took place yester-
day. The children, who were exceedingly we'll
behaved, caused many solemn reflections on the part
of the visitors. Each child seemed a monument Of
patriotism. They reminded one of the fathers who
had torn themselves from their wives and children
in the hour Of their counrys peril and gone TO the
battle feld-and persisted. Tlis institution appears
TO be growing in usefulness. Its present abode
must soon become too small to accommodate those
who are daily applying for admission.

each other in efforts TO contribute to their happiness
Thus the soldiers who have been baptized IN tne

courteously served by willing hands.

Thanksgiving and closed by saying that he preached
against attractions which increased with every de-
laying moment, and he was warned not to attenp,
exhaust their patience. In giving out tho hymn
America he asked that in order to get the keynote,
before singing, the plates should be passed to take
