Thanksgiving Day.

Comparatively few persons will give to
Thanksgiving day the significance of its
title. 1t has come to lie a national holi-
day, thankfully received by the young
and welcomed for its good cheer but
not very many will think of spending any
part of it in considering what they have
had in the year to be thankful for, and
in giving thanks therefor. Really the
day is useless, but as a holiday. There
is no good reason why we should be
thankful one day in the year more than
every day.
The sentiment of New England which
long ago set apart this occasion can hardly
he defended on grounds of piety or good
sense. Since the day comes every year, it
is not cherished in especial thankfulness
for the kindness of Providence to the
people in any one year Every year
we :lre supposed to have cause for
thanksgiving and SO we have but not
more truly than every day. The religious
person daily gives thanks for heavens
mercy and protection TO him and his
and the day in the year that is
set apart for all men TO bc thank
full in wins from the pious no.
thing that they do not constantly
render, while the thanks of the impious,
if they are got at all, are won by the tur-
key and the holiday. 1t would be a good
