The old New England custom Of OBJ
serving Thanksgiving Day has crept
across the continent, till nearly every
State in the Union unites with the de-
scendapts OF the Pilgrims in its celebrs-
tion. President Lincoln fret made it
National day, and so popular has the
custom grown that even the Canadian
Government this year had Its Thanks
giving Day. The occasion fs much
more generally celebrated In Cincinnati
now than 1t was few years ago. To-
morrow promises to show an improve
mept on any past occasion. All OF the
public buildings and offices, and most OF
the principal business houses, will be

opportunity OF laying aside their books,
clerks OF leaving their monotonous po-
sition behind the counter, and the Ia
borer of enjoying well-earned day OF
rest in the bosom of his family.

day.
