THANKSGIVING. 1t will be seen that the
Governor has appointed the 9th as
thanksgiving day. We can no longer
boast of this rs a peculiarly New Eng
land festival, and the only way to lay
any special claim TO it now that the Pres
ident makes it national is to celebrate
with all the ancicnt tcrvor. The new be-
ginucrs must be shown how to do it yet.
Even in the old Knick erbockcr State with
all its Dutch slowuesS to adopt Yankee
habits, they got up model proclamation,
which We cannot refrain from giving.
This is what Gov. Dix says: "I recon-,
mend to the people Of this State the OBJ
servance Of the twepty-sevepth Cay Of
November next as a day Of Thanksgiving
and Prayer to Almighty God in revercnt
acknowledgment of His unnumbered boun.
ties" We cannet beat that but when it
comes to the day itself we have colder
wealth er and deeper SHOWS and 50 our fire
must b urn brighter on the hearth and ia
the heart. This good old day is native
to New England, and nowhere should be
allowed to 60 by without bringing the old
fashioned family gatherings, that keep
alive and renew good will aud affection,

The glory Of the farmer is that, in tho
division OF labor. it is his part to create,
All the trades rest at last On his primitive
authority. He stands eluse 70 Nature !; he
obtains from the earth tho bread /; and the
food, which was not, he caused to be.
The first farmer was the first man, and all
historic nobility rests on the possession
and use of land. Men do not like hard
work, but every man has an exceptional
respect for tillage, and feels that this is
the original calling Of his race, that he
himself Is only excused from it by somo
circumstances which make him delegate it
for time to other hands. Ii he had net
some skill which recommends hun TO the
farmer, some product for which the farm
er gives corn, he must himself return into
his due place among the planters. And
the profession has in all eyes its an
cicnt charms, as standing nearest to God,
the first cause. Then the beauty of Ma
turc, tho tranquility and innocence of tho
country, his independence and pleasing
arts, the care of bees, poultry, sheep,
hogs, the dairy, the care OF hay, offruits,
of orchards and forests, and the reaction
of the workman in giving him strength and
plain dignity, like the face and manners
of Nature-All men acknowledge. All
men keep the farm in reserve as an asy-
lum. in case OF mischance, to hide their
poverty, or as a solitude in case they do
not succeed in society. And who knows
how many glances Of remorse arc turned
this way from the baukrupts Of trade,
mortified pleaders in courts and sepates,
or from the victims Of ideness and pleas.

of smoking and l20 pounds Of chewing to-
