The Day of Thanksgiving. 1t should
not be forgotten that the 3Oth inst. is a day set
apart by authority for the performance of acts
Of thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bes-
sings He has bestowed on us as individuals and
as a nations
We perceive by some Of our exchanges that
the merchants and business men in many places
have agreed to close all their business on that
day, and thus observe it in the manner it should
be May we not hope that the business men Of
this town may thus act. Certainly we have ev-
cry motive to cherish spirit Of thankfulness for
blessings received. Our property remains un
affected by the rayages of fire, and the destroy
ing angel Of pestilence has not visited US and a
Grac ious Providence has caused our crops to
abound and our barns TO overflow with their
products. Let us then be thankful for these
great favors and may our gratitude receive a
practical demo onsration by liberal donation to
those in need.

Curious Freaks OF Nature.-A corrcs-
pondent of the Mrgs county Telegraph gives a
very interesting account of strange freaks of ma
ture in his apple orchard, discovered while pick
Ing his winter apples, particularly among the
variety known as Rome Beauties. OF this va
riety he selected half bushel, and no two Of
them are alike in size, shape or color. Many OF
them possessed the peculiar and striking char
acteristics OF the Northern Spy, Winesap, Ro1-
bury, Russell, Baldwin and Smiths Cider. lie
suggests that this mixing Of characteristics may
be due to hybridizing '!thrOugh the instrument
alty of bees or insects carrying the pollen Of one
blossom to another" In conclusion he asks
whether seeds taken from these hybridized ap.
pies will reproduce a variety possessing the
quality, shape and color Of the two original Va.
rietiss. combined in one. A question for our
truit growers.

Airing Beds I'm the Morning.-Au

Airing Beds in the Morning.-Au ex-
change very properly suggests that there is too
little attention paid to this important req usite Of
health. The wise housekeepers should see to
Il that all the beds should be aired immed ately
after being occupied. The impurities which EN-.
anate from the human body from insensible
perspiration are made up Of minnie atoms which,
it allowed to remain long, are absorbed by the
bed, and will then, to a greater or less extent,
vitiate the air for considerable time afterward.
Let the occupant throw the bed open on rising.
and as soon as it is convenient open the windows
and ventlate the sleeping room. One hours
early ventilation is worth two hours late air
ing.

expect to exhibit their little city by gas about
Christmas. Kenton in Harding county, also ex-
poets to have gas works in operation by the

Perrysburg noOds more light, at least on
Front street and Louisiana avenue. Pedestrians
who are compelled to travel these two streets
should demand that light by night as well as by
day should be thrown upon the miserable con
di,ion OF the sidewalks Of these two streets. SO
that the failure Of our city fathers to enforce
their rdinance may be better appreciated.

in our last issue relating TO their levy of taxes.
Their proposition is, in our opinion, both fair
and honorable. AS public men they propose to
meet their accusers in public manner, and will
furnish every means for thorough investiga-
ton Of their official acts.
May we not reasonably expect some Of our
county officials will make fair proposition
at least as far as the law explicitly directs?

OUR IDOLS.
NJ GRACE MELBOURNE.

Sweet faced girl with thy glesful voice,
Where is thy shrine, and thy ids brightf
Through all the day thy laugh Is heard,
Seeking that altar alone BY night.
See through the gloaming
A manly form coming,
List to the music 50 tender and free
He Is my lover,
And all the world over
There's never an idol so precious TO me.
Gentle mother, with loving face,
Where Is the altar thou hold'st so dearH
Through all the day thy sweet smile is seen
BY evening shadows thou lngerest bore.
Here, softly cleaning,
With soft blue eyes bcaming,
List to the laughter of lips sweet and fair
Golden haired Gertie
And silvery voiced BERTHE,
Heaven protect them from sorrow and care.
Say proud man in thy lonely life,
Tell me, oh where is thy sacred shrine?
Answer in tones that are soft aud low,
Where IL the altar thou callest thiue
OF of the flowers
That bloom in the bowers,
None were SO fair, nor such sweet lessons gave,
As my ewn angel Allie
Now In the sweet valley,
Often l steal to my lost idols grave.
Tell me, mourner, II e'er to thee
Ought there is that can pleasure bring
Oh, when they laid thy loved one low,
Life, did it lose all its beautiful spring
No, for I'm kneelng
In the soft stealing
or shadows that darkcn this earth with their
glnon.
S0rruw was given
That onward tn Heaven
might be guided at last from the tomb.
Say. heart Of minO. where il thy shrine
Thy Heavenly Father the altar gave
Oh, will it lead thy wandering ateps
Far frr'm the darkness Of sin and the gravel
Though ifo bo drcary
And I'm so weary,
Jesus has whispered, "Come here and flnd rest"
He will be near me,
Ever to cheer me,
Tenderly folding Ills lamb to His breast.
