4 THANKSGIVING.
The ''time hopored" festival of the New
England fathers, like many another useful
Yankee invention has been recognized by the
whole nation as a good thing to observe, so
President Grant and Gov. Dingley have fixed
upon Thursday Of this week for the annual
Thanksgiving. Being truly loyal we shall OBJ
serve it. Even if it were a Democratic admin
istration (from which, angels and ministers OF
grace defend us) we should observe it and not
emulate the spirit of the old Bourbon who
would work on the days set apart by Republic
can executives, if on no others, to vindicate his
perpetual rebellion and constant protest against
them. For this reason, we 60 to press day
early. On this occasion, and in this place, we
won't indulge in an extended "preachment"
on thankfulness, or take time to discourse upon
the difference between thanksgiving and glut-
tony. In passing, we will observe that the
people of Maine have manifold blessings for
which to be grateful, above those dwelling in
other parts of the world. The considerate indi-
vidual will come to this conclusion as the result
of very few minutes consideration As fami-
ly circles gather where tables are loaded with
plenty, it will be well to remember that thou
sands are shut out, hungry, and that we are
Gods stewards. fts..t II y
