THANKSGIVING.
A Proclamation by the President Of the
United States.

A Proclamation by the President Of the
United States.
The following Thanksgiving pToclama-
ton was issued by President Hayes, Oc-
tober 29th:
The completed circle Of summer and win
ter seed time and harvest mas brought us to
the accustomed season at which religious
people celebrate with praise and thanksgiv-
ing the enduring mercy of Almighty COD.
This devout and public confession Of the
constant dependence of man upon mis-
Divine Father for all the good gifts of life
and health and peace and happiness, SO
early in our history made the habit OF our
people, finds in a survey of the past wear
grounds for its joyful and grateful mani
festationS. In all blessings which depend
upon the seasons, this has indeed been a
memorable year. Over a wide territory of
our country, with all of its diversity of soil
and climate and products, the earth has
yielded bountlful return to the labor of
the husbandman. The health of the peo-
pie has not been blighted by any
prevalent and widespread diseases.
No great disasters OF Shipwreck
upon our coasts or to our commerce on the
seas have brought loss and hardships to the
merchants or mariners and clOuded the hap
pineSS OF the community with sympathetic
sorrow. In all that concerns our strength
and peace and greatness as a nation; in all
that touches the permanence and security
OF our government and the beneticent insti-
tutions on which it rests in all that affects
the character and dispositions of our people
and tests our capacity to enjoy and uphold
the equal and free condition of society now
permanent and universal throughout the
land, the experience Of the last year is con
SpicuOusly marked by the protecting proyi-
dence of God and is full of promise and hope
for the coming generations Under a sense
OF these Infinite obligations to the Great
Ruler OF times and seasons and events let us
humbly aScrlbe Ii to our own faults and
frailtieS il in any degree that perfect con-
cord and happiness, peace and Justice,
which such great mercies should diffuse
through the hearts and live, of cur people,
Ito not altogether anu always and
everywhere prevail Let us with one
spirit and one voice lift up praise and
thanksgiving to God for his manifold good
ness to our land; His manifest care for this
nation. Now, therefore, /, Rutherford Il
Hayes, President of the United States, do
appoint, Thursday, the Doth day of Novem-
Der next, ;a a day for national Thanksgiving
and prayer, and earnestly recommend that,
withdrawing themselves from secular cares
and labors, the people of the nited States
do meet together on that day in their re-
spective places of worship, there to give
thanks and praise to Almighty God Tor His
mercles and to devautly beseech their con
tinuance. In witness whereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal OF the
United States TO be affixed. Done in the
city Of Washington, this 10Th day of October,
in the year of our Lord, 4. d. 1877; of the
independence of the United States 1902
l., ;. (Signed) X. y. HAYES.

On the doctors announcement, He
is going" the gaze of the wife and sons
became fixed on the face of the husband
and father, with now and then piteous
look of inquiry toward the doctor, until
his further announcement /" 1t is over"
The widow clasped her sons to her, ex-
claiming quietly, but in tones never to
be forgotten: My darling boys" The
friends withdrew, leaving them for a
time, when they were led tenderly from
the room.

county Court House during Sunday,

pating in the ceremonies, which were

an occasional question to the dying man.
