THANKSGIVING-DAY.

For the Newsdeaer.
THANKSGIvING-DAY.
Two centuries and half have passed,
Since on old Massachusetts soil
The first Thanksgiving-day was blest
By her few noble sons of toll.
In sixteen hundred and twenty-one,
(The pilgrims came the yeai before,)
Thanksgiving-day was first begun
BY them, upon our eastern shore.
Most of the crops came in quite good,
Although some failed through nature'slaws
But as they had enough for food,
They had for thanks sufficient cause.
To catch some fowls four men were sent,
Who were successful ere they came
SO we can see the day was spent
4 In part, at least, by eating game.
These men of old upon our shore,
With what they had were satisfied
They did not grieye because no more
Was gathered in on every side.
Their failures were forgotten then;
They let no clouds obscure che way;
But like true philosophc men
The bright side was their theme that day
This was the way it had its birth
Among the pilgrims. long ago,
And it has spread till every hearth
In all the region that we know
Doth celebrate this ancient feast
BY turning from the common way:
If nothing more, they do, at least,
"S;utf fuller on Thanksgiving-day.
1t is a day of festive scenes, 5.aI
With old friends gathered round the fire,
The clock does not disturb our dreams
BY warning us to soon retire
Our troubles now are all forgot;
No shadows cross our happy way
We are commended with our lot
Because it is Thanksgising-day
There are dark days in every life
AT least to us they seem to be
But il we look beyond the strife
brighter picture we shall see'
When we, instead of mourning long
Wheneer failure doth appear,
Shall break forth into praise an song,
And each one be of hearty cheer
And thankful are. in oil our hearts,
For all the blessings We receive,
And overlook the little darts
That cause us oftentimes to grieye' Il
Then shall the world most truly see,
Though shadows fit across our way
That all our lives will truly be
One happy, bright, Thanksgivins-day-

[From the Springfield Republican,
An Incident of the War.

Weak, fevered, sick, beside the southern
river,
At his tent-door the weary soldier lay;
And Hope, till now Of strength and cheer
the giver,
Round his sad heart at length refused to
play.
Nursed at the North, where Berkshire hills
Tempest and storm, obedient to the
drum
What wonder that his tho'ts should
wander home
Not that his patriot soul felt weak regret
That he had Freedoms panoply put on;
Thro' clouds his faith foresaw her triumph
yet,
Tho his own life might seal the victory
won.
But if to wan disease his falling strength
Must. ere that day, sacrifice be given,
Might he from home and mothers breast
Answer the angels trunpet-caI to
Heaven;
The spicy breathings of his native hills
Might but his wasted frame inhale once
At times his thoughts his dropping bosom
thrills,
And plumes the wing that sadness clipped
before.
' ain comfort I'LL !--lht ClOuli grew udGhcls
when
Dropped it from an angel wing pa tiny
shred
Fitted and touched his very feet, and
then
It's printed message-aIl it bore-he
read
No night so dark but Mercy brings
Some solace borne on starry wings"
1t seemed a voice from Heaven; and
straightway Hope
Resumed her throne, nor henceforth left
it more;
Meel<ly he took the inevitable CUP,
Till the good ship the soldier hOmeward
bore.
Long months elapsed, when by the even
