Leicestershire Mr.. North found 140 of

boasted of be'l-founder tlll the end of
the sixteenth century, being thus about
one hundred years later than Leicester.
Moreover, many of the Northampton

THANKSGIVING.

Many of our readers-and they need
not be very Old-can recollect when
Thanksgiving day was exclusively New
England holiday, and in which tine 9TH
ers of the older States did not participate.
as New Englanders migrated westward.
and helped to found new States, they
carried with them their usage of annual
ly observing day of thanksgiving, it is
thus that the custom has spread to other
States, until now, having been confirmed
by the action of recent Presidents, Thanks
giving has become no longer a partial
but national holiday. 1t is well that
this, originally farmers holiday, has
general observance. 1t is most fitting
that the farmers OF this land should, on
one day in the year, gath er in their scat
tered children, and in one of the holiest
of temples es-home-give thanks for that
upon which the prosperity of the nation
rests-the abundant harvest. It is pleas
ant to think upon Thanksgiving day in
its higher aspects. but not the less so in
its associations ana its minor influences.
Being emphatically home holiday, it
more than all others affects the homes of
the land, not less the homes in towns
and cities than homes upon farms, and
long before the day is at hand the
thought thai Thanksgiving is coming"
controls the movements in households
everywhere. The home that is not upon
the farm is none The less to observe the
day: it, too, is to have its "feast OF fat
things" and the city housekeeper looks
to her sister in the country for fatted
turkey, ''wherewith to make merry" A
large share OF the demand ior the turkey,
the bird that has become so essential to
the thanksgiving feast, is supplied by
those farmers whose focks number hun
dred5 but aside from these, the turkey
plays an important part on many small
farms, al d the bild, besides s'turnishing
fortr,'' the material for many home
feast, is in itself cause for grateful
thanks. Many a mother to help the fam
lily purse; many a daughter, in pride st
being independent OF her fathers hard
earnings, to meet her personal wants,
looks to her flock Of turkev3; and as
Thanksgiving draws nigh, she counts
and feeds her flock with pleasant dreams
of the day in which the hopes of many
days will be consummated. Blessed be
the observance which touches so nearly so
many human hearts. Blessed be the day
which brings joy TO so many homes
which, to the wanderer, wherever he may
be, turns his thoughts toward home.
And when has the American farmer had
greater occasion on Thanksgiving day
than now to say: "Oh! give thanks un-
to the Lord, for He is good and his mer-
cy endureth forever. "-American Agri-

A Big Sexton.

The decease of the late sexton of
Grace Church brings to mind the long,
time sexton of old Trinity, David Ly-
ons, who died some twenty years ago,
and who, like Browne, was quite large
in bodily diameter, and very well known
in his day. In decorating the church
one Christmas he caused a canopy sup
ported by four wreath-twined posts to
be erected over the lecturn, giving it
very much the appearance of a parrot
cage. AS finishing touch to this work
of art he proposed an inscription in Ger
man text for its front. He thought it
best, however, to consult one of the
clergy before adding this final embellish-
ment; and it was well that he did, as
the sequel will show. To the question,
What do you propose for the inscrip-
tion?" he replied that, inasmuch as the
lecturn held the sacred scriptures, he
thought, "The Bible; the biggest book
in the world" would be eminently ap-
propriate.
"There will be no objection to that, "
the witty clergyman responded, eff you
will put underneath it, Trinity Church
the biggest church, and David Lyons,
the biggest sexton. -" EDITORS
