Natures Images.

Did you ever. IN walking in the fields. come
across large, flat stone, which had lain, no.
body knows how long, with the grass forming
Il little hedge. as it were, close to its edges !;
and haze you not insinuated your stick, Or
your foot. or your fingers. under its edge, and
turned it over, as a housewife turns cake,
when she says to herself: Its done brown
enough by this time.''
What an odd revelation, and what an I'M
pleasant surprise to a small community. the
very existence Of Which you had not expected.
Blades of grass tlattcned down and matted to-
getlier, as if they had been bleached and
ironed; llideous crawling creatures, turtle
bugs. one wants to cali them; some of them
cunningly spread out and compressed like Lee
pine watches (nature never looses a crack or Il
crevice, or a joint in q tavern bedstead. bat she
always has one of the flat -pattcrn live time
keepers to slide into n); black, glossy crickets
with their long flaments sticking out like the
whips of four-horse stage coaches. But no
sooner is the stone turned and the wholesome
light of day let upon this blinded community
of creeping things, than all rash round wildly,
bntting everything in their way, and end in IL
general stampede for underground retreats =
Next year you will find the grass tall and
green where the stone lay, and the dandelions
and butter cups are growing there.
There is meaning in these images-thc stone
is ancient error-tke grass is HUMAN nature
borne down and bleached Of all its color. The
shapes which are found beneath are the crafty
beings that thrive in darkness He who turns
the stone over is whatsoever puts the staff OF
truth to the old lying incubus-the next year
stands for coming times.
you never think you can turn OYER any old
falsehood without 4 terrible squirting among
whatever lies beneath it.

Chinese in California.

A san Francisco correspondent of the
Boston Globe says Scarcely a China
man can be seen On the streets but wears
an Americar-made felt hat. Great num-
bersshave cast off their native cabots,
and wear American-made boots and
shoes. A considerable number wear
pantaloons, and not unfrequently you
see a Chinaman equipped from head to
heel in American costume. Nor must it
be forgotten the number of industries
they help to build up, which without
them could hardly have struggled into
existence. There must of necessity be
a considerable amount of their hard
earnings spent in procuring these COM
mon necessaries, and when they return
home they take with them, more or less,
the habits acquired here. The large and
increasing trade with China for articles
of American manufacture abundantly
proves this. 1t is painfully true that
they have demoralizing vices-opium-
eating and smoking, gambling in petty
way, etc., etc.,-and not a few add to
their W customs some Of ours, such as
MISUNDERSTANDING, tobacco-chewing, etc.
They are also shockingly heathenish and
superstitious, but being here, the infu-
ence of Christian civilization has no
need, to that extent at any rate, to mind
risk and expense in bringing them with
in the range of its influence. They do
not vote, because they are not citizens,
although numbers of them own real es-
tate and pay taxes.

A National THANKSGIVING.

Itfgas not until during the war that it
became customary for the President of
the United States to appoint, by procla-
nation, a National Thanksgiving day.
As our readers know, the celebration Of
the day itself began in the very early
history of the Massachusetts Colony.
The first Thanksgiving day was called as
a fast day, at a time when the colony was
almost starving, but was changed to a
feast day, and has spread from New En-
gland westward and southwark over the
whole land. For many years it was ap-
pointed in the various States by the Gov
ernors thereof, and, there being no con-
cert of action between them, would be
held at different dates, though almost al
ways on a Thursday. An effort was
made to- unite or one day-the last
Thursday in November-as the day of
Thanksgiving, and in 1859 thirty of the
thirty-three States then existing held
their Thanksgiving holiday on that day.
In 1868 President Lincoln issued his
first National Thanksgiving proclama-
ton, and the custom of Presidential
The National Thanksgiving day, ap-
pointed by a Presidential proclamation,
is, however, by nc means sc new an idea
as is generally supposed. President
Lincoln was only following the example
set by President Washington, in the first
year Of his Presidency Washington
was inaugurated On the 4th of March,
1873. On the third of October of the
same year he issued a proclamation for a
National THANKSGIVING day to be held on
thursday, NoU. 26, 1889. That first
National Thanksgiving, proclamation is
worth reproducing here:
WHEREAS, 1t is the duty of all nations to
acknowledge the providence of Almighty God,
TO obey His will. to be g:assful for His bene-
favor and. whereas, both Houses of Oongrsss
have by thelr ihint committees requested me
