UNTHANKFULs
RxMRs. A. N. FREEMAN.
.syyhat Pre- to be thankful for the
poodness knows. What any one has to
be thankful for is past my comprehen-
sion. Here is this miserable old turkey
gor9ed day. after day to repletion, putting
on day after day the most unbearable
airs, strutting and putting, picking up all
of the choicest bits always taking hi his
own share, and never forgetting 70 rob
his neigh hbors = here he is, his brilliant
head laid low, his musical gobble forever
silenced, his gorgeous pluInage flung to
the feur winds of heaven, and himself
destined for Thanksgiving dinner
BE imagined himself one of the chosen
his masters fayorite the very autocrat
ofthe barn-yard.
Now It seems to me that the men and
women of this world are somewhat, IN
their own opinion, like this defunct
feathered biped. The very cite of crea7
ton, Kept in, the hollow of the Fathers
hand and suddenly flung forth on the
rocks and strands of life; MANNED and
bleeding strugglinsspd dying-wrecked
Lost. 1Wretched old turkey, lift up
Your headless neck, flap your featherless
mings:in thanksgiving to- the hand that
