BY GEORGE MCDONALD.

Where did you come from, baby deary
Out of the everywhere into the here.
Where did you get your eyes so bluey
Out of the sky as came through.
What makes the light in them sparkle and spinl
Some of the starry spikes left in.
Where did you get that little teary
| found it waiting when got here.
What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand stroked it as went by.
What makes your cheek like a warm white roseY
Something better than anyone knows.
Whence that three-coruered smile of bliss2
Three angels gave me at once a kiss.
Where did you get that pearly carr
God spoke and it came out to hear.
Where did you get those arms and handsg
Love made itself into hooks and bands.
Feet-whence did you come YOU darling things?
From the same box as the cherub's wings.
How did they all just come to be you?
God thought about me, and so grew.
But how did you come to US, you dear?
God thought of you, and so am here.
From ChAd life.

The deyout spirit of our ancestors led them to
select this season of the year. when the fruits of
the earth are all gathered and the husbandman
is compelled TO suspend his outdoor labors, as
the most appropriate for acknowledging by
public expression Of gratitude, at the recon-
mendaton of the highest temporal authority,
the dependence Of all men upon the divine
goodness. The institution might have origi-
mated with them if there had been no pre-
cedents TO suggest it; but, in fact, it is probable
that both the Christmas festival of old England
and the Jewish feast Of ingathering Influenced
them in establishing the New England Thanks
giving,
This festival, though it is less distinctiyely re-
lgous than formerly, is in no danger of losing
its hold upon the people. Custom has made it
the occasion OF family reunions, when the scat
tered sons and daughters, who have departed
to seek their fortunes and have found or missed
them as it may have happened, gathered at the
old homestead to rejoice together. 1t is sea-
son Of innocent merriment and lavish indul-
gence for the children, and of hearty, if some
times sober, cheerfulness for their elders.
It is not certain that this generation is less
truly though it is less formally deyout than that
which occupied our places two hundred years
ago. But however that may be, there arc near
many freSdes to-day hearts filled with as sincere
and humble gratitude as that which swelled the
breasts OF our pious ancestors as they thought
of the perils Of sayages, of famine, of rigor-
Gus climate, and Of the other hardships of
their new home, from which they had been pre-
served, and of their slow but steady advance
toward prosperity as individuals and as a com
munity. 1t is also, and may it always be, one
of the worthy customs Of this time to
help the needy, and see that those who may be
sorely pinched at other times, shall have at least
on this day a generous meal. Thanksgiving is
the New England festival, in which gratitude TO
the Giyer of all mercies is manifested not only
by formal services of praise, but by cheerful en-
ioyment of his gifts, by renewing and strength
ening the bonds ofiamily affection, and by acts
of charity to our neghbors, who are less favored
in the good things of this world. There are those
who desire to abolish Fast day, the other annual
day Of public religious observance established
by our Puritan ancestors, but no one has yet
suggested that Thanksgiving day can be dis

his answer to Mr. Hughes:

DEAR Mr. HUGnEs: Our friends at Chicago,
so far as English authors are concerned, have a
free library which no conhagration can destroy.

tributon to such an object. He had given $3.50

Two gentlemen, who would doubtless have
made very cunous additions to this correspond
ence, do not appear to have been consulted, for
there is no letter from Charles Reade nor from
Mr. Ruskin. The former would no doubt, have
promised his books in an amusngly egotistical
aud deliberately mechanical letter, informing
the Chcagoans how they might have saved their
city and how they must rebuild it, and Mr..
Ruskin would probably have declined to take
any responsibility for the future of such radi-
cal progressive, irreverent city as Chicago,

An enterprsing housewife in Ohio, who for
several years has received the first premiums for
the best display of canned fruit exhibited at the
annual state fair, was abruptly deprived of her
laurels this year. Her fruit was as fresh and
plump looking as usual; but there happened to
be lady on the committee for awarding pre-
miums, who insisted on opening one Of the cans
when it was discovered that the fruit had been
put up IN strong brine, As this process of pre-.
serving fruit, although novel, was not consid-
cred such an improvement as to merit encour-
aSement, the collection was promptly ruled out,

NJ Arminius Vambery gives some interesting
information about the Persian famine in the
Algemeine Zetung. Agriculture in Persia"
he says, "S in a very primitive state; the want
of water is so great that the fields have to be
irrigated by subterrauean canals, which extend
across the country for miles, and the peasant
seldom culhyatcS more than what is required
for his household, as the people live on nothing
but vegetables for four months in the year
There is, consequently, never any considerable
supcrfluity of corn, aud the results Of bad
harvest are terrible. If we further
consider the difficulty of cOmmuniCation-fo
the roads in Persia consist of narrow paths trod-
den down by horses, asses and camels, carts
being almost unknOwn-it will be under
stood that the descriptions of the fam
inc published by the papers, if little
over-colOred are substantially true. That
parents have eaten their own children in
YeZd, KiJman and other towns of southern
Pers a is fable; but my private accounts from
that country confirm the news that men have
died of hunger in the public streets A dearth
of provisions was already observed in western
Iran last year, when NaSreddin Shah went on
pilgrimage to the grave Of the national martyr
HusSein, at kerbela, with suit of several thou
sand soldiers, mOahS and travellers. We had
our earliest news Of tue famine from the south,
because that part of Persia is in more frequent
communication with India, and there is an En-
glish charge d'aiiaires at Bender Bushire. But
now we hear that the distress in eastern
Khorassan which has always been behind the
other parts Of the country in culture and social
prosperity, is far greater; and even in Aver
baidschan, the most fertile of the Persian prov
inces, things are not much better" NJ YAM
berry strongly condemns the conduct of the
Persian government in these circumstances.
"Thc governors of the various provinces, and
all the members of the ruling dynasty, have col
ected all the reserves of corn and are selling it
at extraordinary high prices to the starving
population The king himself does not take
part in this disgraceful trade, but he seems to be
troubled but little with the anXietieS of govern
ment, for he passes about ten months of the
year in hunting, and during that time the great
est catastrophes may fall on his country with.
out any one coming forward to remedy them.
Is it surprising that under such circumstances
the people should take their destnes in their
own hands? Already rebellion has broken
out in Shiraz against the ruling prince, Yemin-
ed-Dowet Similar outbreaks have taken place
in Yezd, Krman and Tabrlz. Everywhere DO
litical parties are spriuging up, some desiring a
Russian, Others an ENGLISH occupation of Persia;
while powerful national party wishes to put
on the throne Abbas Mira, the brother of the
shah, who lives on English pension at Bag.
dad" NJ. Vambery adds that if the famine
should continue throughout the winter, revo-
luton followed by a change of rulers would be
inevitable, aud that such an event might have a
serious effect on the political affairs in Europe
as well as in Asia

A SEVERE TEST OF FEIENDsHIP.-Dr. Prime
tells this story in the New York Observer by
way of illustrating the droll things he is asked
to do by persons Of whom he has never heard:
gentleman of fine personal appearance cali
ed upon me and said he was a perfect stranger
IN the city, and had come from a great distance
to have a cancer removed by a celebrated sur
geon, whose fame had reached the remote vii
lage Of his residence. And as he had long read
my letters and was sure that was disposed 10
do kindness. be had called to ask me TO attend
at the operation and hold his head! Now if
there is anything in the way Of kindness that
hate TO do, it is to assist at surgical operations
The sight Of blood letting is disaereeable. and
if it is all the same to my friends would rather
be out OF the way when any Of
them are being cut up However. ms
the gentleman had no other person in town IN
whom he could apply, readily assentcd TO his
request and promised to be on hand at any hour
he should appoint with the surgeon. Happily
the surgeon assured him there was no occasion
for any one to be present, and Immediately per-
formed the operation. You do not know the
trouble which the affair has cost me. As | saw
the thing before it was removed, and saw the
good man afteward, ] was induced in an hour
OF weakness, to give certificate of the cure 1t
was published over the whole land, and now
men write TO me for more information; they
come to show me their sores, and they come
back to me from the doctor, and insist on ex-

A MISSOURI BEAR SToRY.-The billy cOun-
try of Cole and Usage counties of this state has
at one time been fayOrite resort for game, and
particularly bears. A few days ago, William
Hamilton, residing near the Missouri Pacific
railroad went into the timber about mile off
to shoot squirrels. Not returning in the eve.
ming, his family became alarmed, as it was
known bears had been recently seen in the
ncighhOrhOod. Nothing being heard of him all
night several neighbOrs the next morning went
in search OF him. About three O'Clock in the
evening they found him up leauing tree, thir-
ty feet from the ground, fast, and unable to eX-
tricate himself After some trouble he was taken
down, and it was seen that one foot and ankle
were badly torn and bleeding.
He said that about eight o'clock the previous
day he came across large black bear, and shot at
but missed him. The bear made for him with
all his might. He ran, and, finding the bear
gaining on him, threw away his rife, and part
ly ran up Il leaning sycamore tree, with the
bear following right at his heels. The top of
this tree had been broken off and was hollow.
He thrust one of his legs into the hole TO keep
himself from falling, but soon found that his
lee was fast. He tried to eXtrcate himself, but
could not, The bear in the meantime had torn
his boot off and was gnawing and eating the
flesh from the foot and ankle. Mr.. Hamilton
took his pocket knife out and cut at bruins
eyes but with one sweep of his paw the bear
struck the knife from his hand, with a part of
two of his fingers.
Hamilton could now see no help, and gave up
to die, expecting to be eaten up alive by the
bear But soon a happy thought struck him.
That morning he had put some salt in his
pocket to salt some cattle he had running in
the timber He took a small handful and
sprinkled it in the bears eyes. 1t had the de-
sired effect The bear shook his head, growing
and went down. He soon returned, however,
but little more salt drove him away the second
time, and to Mr. Hamilton's inexpressible de-
light he trotted off into the forest.
That night Mr.. Hamilton's sutferings were
beyond expression, with one lee fast in the hole
in the top Of the tree, the other hanging out,
torn and bleeding, and he not knowing what
moment the bear would return and finish his
work. He ascrbes the preservation of his life
to the salt he had in his pocket, and advises
everybody, before they 90 hunting in Usage
county, to fill at least one pocket with SALT
