National Thanksgiving.

In accordance with practice at once wise
and beautiful, we have been accustomed, Us
the year is drawing to a close, to devote an
occasion to an humble expression of thanks
to Almighty God for ceaSeless and distln-
guished benefits bestowed upon us as a ma
ton, and for His mercies and protection
during the coming year. Amid the rich and
free enjoyment of all our advantages, we
should not forget the source from which they
are derived, and extend our obligation to
the Father of All Mercies. We have full
reason TO renew our thanks to Almighty God
for favOrs bestowed upon us during the past
year. BY His continuing mercy, civil ana
religious liberty have been maintained; peace
has Teigned within our borders; labor and
enterprise have produced their merited re-
wards, and to His watchful providence we
are indebted for security from pestilence and
other national calamities. Apart from the
other national blessings, each individual
among us has occasion to thoughtfully recall
and devoutly recognize the fayOrs and pro-
lection which he has enjoyed.
Now, therefore, /, Ulysses S. Grant, Pres
ident of the United States, do recommend
that on Thursday, the 25th day Of Novem-
Der, the people of the United States, from
their accustomed vacations, do assemble in
their respective places of worship, and in
such form a. NAV seem most appropriate in
their own hearts, offer to Almighty God their
acknowledgements and thanks for all His
mercies, and their humble prayers for the
continuance of His divine favor. In witness
whereof, ! have hereunto set my hand, and
caused the seal of the United States to be
affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this 27th
day of October, in the year Of our Lord 1873,
and of the independence of the United States
the -hundredth.

SOME years ago the Rev. Isaac Col
Inns was preaching at Speddon'S Church,
Neck District, says the Dorchester
County (Md.) Democrat, and was very
much ANNOYED at his congregation turn
| inc in their seats to look at every new
arrival. At last he could stand it no
/ longer, and exclaimed: "There is one
! special request l desire of this congre-
CATION, and that is that they will turn
all the seats around so as to face the
door before preach here again" His
request was attended to, and next Sun
day when the Rev. Mr.. Collins walked
up to the pulpit he looked around at the
| backs of his audience, and was so over
come with emotion that he just took his
seat and spoke not one word that beau
! tiful Sabbath morning.

OF all the myths Of the fairy age, of
its many legends and enchantments, true
love seems to be the one great charm
which has come down to us unchanged
by time, untouched by steam engines,
and unexplained by science. True love
is true love by whatever signs and Ian
guage it is spoken. As long as hearts
beat. as long as life exists, in whatever
age, iron or golden, we must seek it.

MARRIAGE OF BLOOD RELATIONS The
French Academy has of late had present.
cd to it some curious statistics in relation
to the subjects of the marriage of blood
relations. These have been largely pub
lished to warn the people of France
against the danger of these marriages,
which are said to amount to full two per
cent. of all the marriages in that country.
In Lyons and Paris it has been ascer-
tanned that while one child born in ordi-
nary wcdlock may be deaf and dumb,
the proportion of children of blood re-
lations thus afflicted is twenty-five per
cent greater; in Bordeaux it was thirty
per cent. The liability to this misfor-
tune increases very greatly, according to
the nearness of the relationship On
the other hand it is remarkable fact as
connected with the marriage of persons
who are deaf and dumb but who are
strangers in blood, that their children
arc generally able to talk and bear.

spcndthrirt PROFESSIONALS.

Why it is that public performers should be in
constant need of public help is one OF the per-
petual problems which 1t seems to be useless to
try to solve. There is a barefacedness, too,
about the appeals Of this nature forever made to
society. which could hardly be excused if the
parties to it were other than what they are
Furthermore, by some queerly illogical process
it is not the claims Of the harl-working under
paid performer which are thus thrust into public
notice. but those OF the manager and proprietor
who has most likely been living for years on the
fat OF the land, and who because he has chosen
to squander his means is thought-or his family
is thought-to be fitting object for charity.
These reflections arc suggested by the an
nouucemeut we see made, relative to the death
of Dan Bryant the " MINSTREL that ''bene-
fit is to be had for the relief Of his family rep
resented to have been left entirely destitute.
In using this case to point our remarks we
mean no unkindness to the memory of Mr.. Bry
ant, of whom as an inl.vldlal We know nothing
whatever. Bat We can say without reasonable
ofense to any one that such an incident as this
lowers the standing of the class Which supplies
the public with its amusemant4. This class il
continually clam BRING for wider social recogni-
ton but it defeats its enl in no small measure
by its manner of living. Performers who attract
to any noticeable degree the attention Of the
public are supported as well, to say the least. as
the average of men. All snch performers can
live comfortably AMI save money, yet oftenei
than not We hear Of their dying pennlees and OF
their families being thrown on charity. As re.
glrds Mr.. Bryant, we sec it stated By good au-
ta1rity that he hal beon a successful
manager for twenty years. His "opera House
has boen long standard place OF
amusement in New York, aud 50 far from his in
conc relchins the M lest aTera g we have just
supposed it was no doubt several times greater
than the average Therefore We hold the case
to be a sort Of scandal to public cllins- of that
kind and one not calculated to rAise their pro
fea-ors i'll popular esteem. What would be
thought Of the taste-to say nothing Of the prin-
ciple-of taking up contributions for spend.
