SADIE'S THANKSGIVING.
BY LUCIA CHASE BELL.

II was Saturday afternoon, and Sadie
had Just finished her ironing. The room
was full Of the sweet, warm scent Of fresh
iy ironed clothes; the sunlight made pink
and golden CLOVIS in the clouds of shining
muslin hanging all over the straight old
chairs, and the roses and geraniums in the
window looked brighter and thrftier
than ever, towering up above the trans
parent whiteness all about them, Johnny
and Davy were away Smelling corn for old
Mrs. Nett; little threeyear Old Kit was
taking her afternoon nan. Curled up
among the pillows in the bedroom by her
sick mother, and the whole house seemed
delightfully."- clean and quiet, for won,
der Sadie kept blithely humming,
"Through lanes and hedgerows pearly, "
while she put away her ironing blanket
and put the tea-kettlc on, and rolled out
the light biscuits for supper. 1t always
seemed as if she could "smell fresh hay

But Sadie had read about the good old

when, according to the Jolly stories
about them, the country folks kept the
day with hearty cheer, and the clouds
sent down glorious "slcighin' SHOWS,
and the preacher Numbered out good
solid orthodox sermons and the people
sang with a zess that told of real thank.
fulness and the near prospect OF generous
big dinners.

The Horse Disease.

New York, Oct 3l-The cool bracing
weather Of the last two days has had a good
effect upon the sick horses and the malady
seems to have slightly abated. More horses
are on the streets to-day. Many of the car
and stage stables report improvement. Their
stock facilities for travelling are somewhat
increased. The weather to day is cloudy with
appearances of rain which is not encouraging:
If it becomes fine, it is hoped the horses will
rapidly improve. At all events the crisis is
now considered past. The Third avenue line
was yesterday running four horses to car with
the view to keeping up good appearance for
fear of visit from Bergh. Over one hundred
and ten dead horses were reported at the offal
dock yesterday. No change for the better is
reported among the Brooklyn horses A
heavy mortality is reported there. Bergh in
tends to stop the Blocker Street cars
to-day. He regards as prcpostcrous the
suits against him. The other lines say
they would prefer that Bergh would stop
them as they are running merely to accommo-
date the public. The stagnaton to business
remains about the same. A female doctor re-
ports that she is treating four ladies suffering
from the horse disease The European steam
ships yesterday, sailed on time, their cargoes
being furnished BY lighters. The disease is on
the spread in Jersey.
OswEGo, Oct 3l.-Tbere is no improve
