wHrrTTER,s SONG OF TEE PUMPKIN.

Ali ON Thanksgiving day, when from East and
from West,
From North and from South come the pilgrim and
guest;
When the p1ry-haired New Highlander sees round
his board
The old broken links of affection restored:
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once
more.
And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled
before,
What mostens the lip, and what brightens the eye?
What calls back the past like the rich pumpkin pie?
SFbe fruit loved of boyhood-the old days recalling,
When wood-grapes were purpling, and brown nuts
were falling! N
When wild, ugly faces we carved in its skin,
Glaring out through the dark with a candle within
Then we laughed round the corn-heap, with hearts
all in tune,
Our chair broad pumpkin our lantern the moon,
Telling tales of the fairy who travelled like steam
I'm pumpkin-shell coach, with two rats for her
team!
Then thanks for thy present-none sweeter Or
better
Fer smoked from the oven, or circled platter!
Fairer hands never wrought at pastry more fine,
Brighter eyes never watched DER its baking than
And the prayer which my mouth is too full to ex-
press 2
swells my heart that thy shadow may never be
less,
That the day of thy lot may be heightened below.
And the fame Of thy worth like pumpkin vine
grow,
And thy life be so sweet, and its last sunset sky
Golden-tinted and fair as thy own pumpkin-pie

LIQUOR LAWS, which were unknown in
the South in the old days Of slavery, have
become very important there In the new
dlspepsatiou. The colored people are
very naturally prone to the vice Of
drunkenness, aud in their persons it has
assumed an offensive character that was
never recognized in the customary
dsbauches Of the planters and the "men

the Christian day Of rest has been SO
