CHIr-CHAT WITH Our READERS
In two weeks from to-day comes Thanks
giving Day. Those of our readers who
have not heretofore seen them are referred
to this outside for the proclamations OF the
President of the Nation and the Governor
of the Commonwealth recommending due
observance of the occasion. Each of
these proclamations is of itself most
t,uching and beautiful tribute of praise
and thanksgiving to the Most High, in
that He hath prospered us and been good
to us beyond measure the past year, and
the people, one and all, ought to be gui
ded by its precepts and example. But in
view of .he result Of the late election, we
think we have additional cause OF graft
tude to God. We think We ought to
thank Him with fervency and devoutful-
nsss-
That, upon their deliberately expressed
vote, the People stand by the Union of
OUT fathers:
That the Peace Compromise-Surrender
handful of the North have been rebuked
and confounded:
That the platform which brands the
Var fer the Union as "useless waste Of
olood and treasure" has been repudiated
That the question whether or not We
have a Government has been decided in
the Affirmative:
That it has been determined that Gov
emmett must be perpetuated, despite
treason and traitors
That America will continue to be the
abiding place of Liberty:
That Peace, although sweet, is not pre-
ferred above our National honor and good
uame:
That, in short, the cause of Right and
Justice has triumphed over that of Wrong
and Oppression.
Truly, we have been highly favored of
God. He has taken US, as nation and
as individuals, in the hollow Of His hand,
and has suffered no evil to como nigh US,
but good continually.
This leads us to remark that, nothwith-
.anding the near approach of Thanksgiv-
lng, our poultry-coopis is as yet untenanted
By single representative of tho genus
turkey. June without blossoms, and
Horace Greeley without his old white
bat, and barrel of whisky without bro
zen heads, aud the Democratic party
without corruption are within the range
Of possibility, but Thanksgiving without
turkey is an impossibility. The mere
idea of such contingency is absurd, and
not for a moment to be seriously tolerated.
Therefore, if anybody has turkey he
wants to give away, or turkey he feels
desirOus of selling cheaply-but especial
y the former-he is requested to "give
Us call"
Suow-more snow! Nothing but snow,
and rain, and cold, disagreeable weather,
the past month. Thou'rt bearing hence
thy roses, sweet summer-fare thee we'll
Soon we will have naught but the rustic
OF the holly and the myrtle and the sol
snn old pine to remind us of season
which Was an uninterrupted round of
pleasure aud delight. BY the way, what
has become of Indian Summer Con-
trary to we'll established custom, is that
balmy, breezy season going to give us the
go-by this year? The fruits of the field
are all gathered in ; the gold-and-crimson
foliage OF the forest has gone whistling
down the gale; and the face of nature
Is desolate and drcar yet Indian Sum-
mer comes not. If this is to be-it Can
tantowwit, king of the autumn, purposes
"going back on" us after that manner
II We are not going to have our usual sup
ply of Indian Summer, wherewith to sa-
'0r the insipidity of early winter-.hen
indeed is this the season of our discomfort.
