National Thanksgiving.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF HE UNIT.
ED STATES.
A Proclamation,

The recurrence of that season at which it is the
naot OF our people to make devout and public
vine favor tor all good gifts of lite and happiness and
OF public peace and prosperity, exhibits, in the re-
cord OF the year, abundant reasons for our gratitude
and THANKSGIVING. Exuberant harvests, productive
mines, ample crops and staples of trade and manu-
facures have enriched the country. The resources
thus furnished to reviving industry and expand
ing commerce are fastening the day when discords
and dstresses through the length and breadth of the
land. WILL under the continued favor of Providence
have given way to confidence, energy and assured
prosperity. Peace with all nations has remanded un-
broken, domestic tranquility has prevailed, and the
institutions Of liberty and justice, which the wisdom
and virtue OF our fathers established, remain the
glory and defence OF their children. The general
prevalence OF the blessings of health through our
and sorrows which the dark shallow of pestilence
has cast upon portion OF our people. This heavy
aici0n even, the Divine Ruler has tempered to the
suffering communities in the universal aid and sue
cor which have flowed to their relief, and the ole
nation may rejoice in the unity of spirit in our peo.
pie, by which they cheerfully share one another's
burdens.
Now, therefore, /, Rutherford B. Hayes, President
twentyeighth day of November next, as day Of ma
tonal nksgiving and prayer; and earnestly re-
commend that, withdrawing themselves from secular
cares and abors the people Of the United States do
OF worship, there to give thanks and praise to Al
mighty God for mercies, and to devoutly beseech
their continuance.
Ia witness thereof have hereuuto set my hand
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington this thrteth day
October in the year OF our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy eight, and of the inde-
pendence of the United States the one hundred

John Mcintyre was colored Methodist

that good fare might affect his chance to pro-
motion. His larder was bare, and in the emer-

There comes in life frequent hour
When the full voice of Fate
Calls with dread, mysterious power
On those who should be great;
And warns them that mighty DOVER
Somewhere for them doth wait.
For somewhere, in the long. long train
That marches down through Time,
Working out human natures gain,
Its glory or its crime,
For each a station doth remain,
With power to do or to refrain,
A humble or sublime.
And they whom God hath breathed upon.
And gifted from their birth,
With lofty powers to labor on
The labor OF this earth
For them, amid the swelling crowd,
An office is assigned
With mighty influence endowed;
And unto them Fate calls loud,
In the first opening mind
Again, again, through shine or cloud,
Her words come as the wind.
Alas! how many, downward bowed,
Their birthright have resigned!
God! how much of great and good,
How much of fearful sin,

Yorick's Drawer

Mr.. Robert Lowell's new book, Stories
from an Old Dutch Town, calls to mind two
books of his published years ago. One of
these. "The New Priest in Conception Bay"
was novel OF solid, il not conspicuous mer-
1t. The other was volume of poems,
"Fresh Hearts that Failed Three Thousand
Years Ago." a book that would perhaps have
attracted more notice had not the author
been obscured by the shadow of his brothers
fame. 1t is not always an unalloyed delight
to be of kin to great author-especially if
one bears his name and feels that If the name
were not rendered illustrious by a man of
genius, the man of talents could make it
conspicuous and win and wear the laurels it
would gain. 1t is years since 'Fresh Hearts"
was published. Yorlck remembers reading
1t in 1868, reading it while the echoes of
Vicksburg and Gettysburg were ringing in
his ears. He remembers one afternoon, and
the memory has all the distinctness of a
youthful impression-the distinctness of an
artists proof-when he heard General Oliver
Howard, wearing an empty sleeve more elo-
quent than words of his could be, plead the
cause of the Union in our City Hall. That
evening Yorick happened to take up Robert
LowelPs book of poems, and, reading these
lines, thought one man at least had seized
upon his hOur.

Mr.. M. +. Sweetsei's biography of Turner,
(series Of Artist-Biographie,. Boston: Hough-
ton, Osgood & Go. /; Portland: Loring, Short
& Harmony is written with even moro spirit
and force than most of its predecessors in the
series. Following the lead of the memoir of
Turner written by Mr.. Walter Thorub1ry and
the comments Of Mr.. Ruskin, this biography
paints with sure touch and vivid coors the
likeness of the singular, chaotic artist. The
appended list of Turner'S works, Mr.. sweetser
explains, is necessarily incomplete because so
many of them are the property Of private indi-
