that it was the first and highest duty
of the receivers and managers 10 pro-

therefore, authorized the receivers and

done, by appropriating thereto an the

THANKSGIVING ODE.

Thanksgiving Day hath come again,
That feast of leavened bread,
That gathers all the wandering ones
Beneath the old homestead;
When households come from far and near,
To give the friendly hand,
And happy they, who meet this day,
In one unbroken band.
The husbandman hath shouted well,
The golden harvest home;
And health and plenty smile ON all,
From cot to stately DOME
How fitting then, to close the year,
With this time -honored feast,
And upward send a nations prayer
Of gratitude at least.
The cattle seem to know the day,
The cat, and faithful dog,
The fowls that cackle on the hay,
And oven the grunting hog
All nature Join in unison,
To speak their Makers praise,
And why not man, SO greatly blcst,
His heartfelt tribute raiscS
If any have o scanty board
If any feel Distress
The rich, should with Gods bounties load
The poor-the fatherless.
That once each year, throughout the land,
So blest of Heaven as ours,
Plenty may come to every home,
And cheer its festal hours.
Then let us keep Thanksgiving Day,
AS yearly it shall come,
Around which hang so many thoughts
OF childhood friends, and home;
And may the time not distant be,
When this, the Pilgrims feast,
Shall gather, as one family,
North, South, and West, and East.

THE PEACE AUTUMN.
BY JOHN G, WHITTIER.

Thank God for rest, where none molest,
And none can make afraid,
For Peace that sits as Plenty's guest,
Beneath the homestead shaded
Bring pike and gun, the sword'sred scourge
The negro's broken chains,
And beat them at the blacksmiths forge,
To plowshares for our plains.
Alike henceforth our hills of snow,
And wales where cotton flowers
All streams that flow, all winds that blow
Are freedoms motive powers.
henceforth TO Labor's chiyalry
Be knightly honors paid;
Far nobler than the sword shall be
The sickle's accolade
Build up an altar to the Lord,
o grateful hearts of ours
And shape ii to the greenest sward
That ever drank the showers,
Lay all the bloom of gardens there,
And there the orchard fruits;
Bring golden grain from sun and air,
From earth her goodly roots,
There let our banners droop and How,
The stars uprise and fall;
Our roll of martyrs, sad and slow,
Let signing breezes call.
Their names let hands of horn and tan
And rough-shod feet applaud,
Who died to make the slave man,
And link with toll reward,
There let the common heart keep time
To such an anthem sung,
As never swelled on poets rhyme,
Or thrilled on singers tongue.
Song of our burden and relief,
of peace and long annoy;
The passion of our mighty grief
And our exceeding joy.
A song of praise to him who filled
The harvest sown in tears,
And gave each field double yield
To feed our battle yearsl
A song of faith that trusts the end
To match the good begun,
Nor doubts the power of Love to blend
The hearts of men as onel
