TEANKGGTvING-


With leaden clouds and arrCwy sleet,
The storms march on with icy feet!
And dreary days come staggering in,
With hollow eyes and faces thin.
The dead leaves falling, day by day,
Clog the bleak fences by the way;
Leaving the woodlands stark and drear-
The hilltops brown, the meadows sefe--
While from seme naked branch the crow
Croaks sadly to d.spel his woe;
And morn and night so closely stand
One takes the other by the hand!
The Soaking, Oh the Arctic shore,
Locks up the wayes-his banquet Ger
Shakes his great beard, whose dripping
foam
Falls softly r0un3 the farmers home,
And shouts upon the northern blast:
Hal ha! and Winters here at last!'
But wintry days will blithely pass,
Tho white the fields where waved the
grass;
Tho partridge, drumming On the log,
Supplies the absence of the frog;
And the shrIll whistle Of the quail
Serves for the warbling nightingale:
While low aud neigh, and grunt and cav,
Mingle amid the rustling straw.
How merry fly the hours at night,
With jest amp song and hearts as light!
'Mong snowy hands the apples pass,
The cider sparkles in the glass;
And one who bro't his harp along
Sweeps the wild chords and leads the
song!'
Then pile the blazing hearth with wood
Twill do the aged father good
To see it up the chimney blaze,
Is in his young and sunny days
Sadly he smiles TO hear it roar
Like waves that dash upon the shore
Where stood his birthplace, far away
That joyful hailed Thanksgiving Day!
Thank cd from whom al blessings
fowl
For days Of JOY and days Of woe!
For golden haryests, safely stored
For all that heaps the fsstaI board!

To the Democrats Of Wisconsin.
The eyes OF the democrats Of the north

the words, acts and deeds Of your members
OF the legislature.
Very nearly one half Of the members
eject ofAte assembly are democrats in senti-
mept or party utilization.
They have nc power to enact laws to re-
form the abuses and exuavagancies set on
foot by Jacobin legislatures aad state Off
GERS in obedience 10 the planning and con-

but they can and must present reform bills
and press them 10 the extent Of their abli-
ty.
In the canvass just closed, thousands
who voted ior GRAFT, Disguised with the
corruption and extravaganza OF Jacoiiuism,
wheeled into column and voted the demo
cratic ticket
The democratic state convention planted
the party upon living issue,. No nan
need be deceived. No man need excuse
himself by saying thas the democracy Of
Wisconsin would devote its energies to
whitewashing the dingy walls Of the past.

An odd story comes to Us from London:
One morning long ago one OF the clerks OF
an eminent London publisher brought
card up to his Office, and told him that Col.
Blank, the gentleman whose name was IN
scrlbed upon the document, desired an lm-
mediate interview This was at once ac>
corded. The Colonel was courteously re-
ceived, begged to take seat and state his
business
He seemed to have considerable hesita>
ton about explaining the object of his visit
but at length took courage, and stated that
he had daughter who, he learned, had,
much tO.his annoyance, been contributing
a very popular story to the pages OF mag
azine published by the firm; that he partic.
ularly disapproved of his daughter ''sc4ib>
bling" at all, but that as she had chosen TO
do so, and her story had, it seemed, proved
extraordinarily popular, he had come to
the conclusion that he ought to claim for
her the remuneration she had fairly earned.
The publisher, as may be supposed, at once
assented to this view Of the subject, and
begged to be favored with the name of the
work IN question; thereupon he was inform
ed that it was novel, which attained some
years ago great popularity, and which we
will call for present purposes "Cranley Par
sonage. %
The publisher was agbast on hearing
this, and with the utmost politeness init
mated that there surely must he some
strange mistake ''Cranlcy Parsonage"
he said, was the creation OF famous writer
of fiction With whom he vas himself on
terms OF intimacy, and therefore he could
/ be under no misapprehension as to the real
authorship. The Colonel, however, still
seemed unconvinced although with the
courtesy Of thorough gentleman he listen
! ed with respectful attention to the publish
er's explanation. At last the latter. APP
/ preaching with the utmost caution delicate
subject, vcntured to hint that possibly the
young lady had been out of health, and had
suffered from the decisions Incidental to
hysteria.
This view Of the subject appeared, how
ever, TO be totally erroneous. SO far from
being given to low spirits or Indifferent
health, his daughter, said the Colonel,
rode twice week to hounds, and was q
perfect specimen OF mems SGa0 IL cOyp0re
SUMO. at las. he closed the interview by
I thanking the publisher for his courtesy,
and saying that in few days he would call
again and bring the author to speak for
