"A. ii. BKUW N, SECRETARY.
The general observance of Thanks
Day throughout the United States
and it's substitution for Christmas
Day as the great family gathering of
the year, is a lifelong puzzle to the
immigrant coming from the Old
Country and settling in one of
the cities. He recognises the
fact that the descendants of the
handful of sturdy Puritans, who
landed on the bleak shores of New
England $50 years Or so ago, have
"leavened the lump of the United
States as we find them to-day, but
he fails to see why that especially
New-English festival should have
been adopted by the whole country
as the family holiday. And SO, though
he thankfully accepts the extra holi-
day, he joins in its festivities some
what under protest; or, if he "has a
frugal mind" and a weak digestion,
rejoices at being able to separate
turkey anu mlnctvt-fies from Din roast
beef and plum-pudding, and to
escape the suffering consequent of
eating all four on the same day.
1t is different with the settler in
the backwoods or on the prairie.
It is true that he has no longer now
the dread of famine or the loss of
his scalp before his eyes, but he
should have little difficulty in bring
ing home to his mind the time, not
so very long ago and not altogether
passed away in some parts, wher
this was very real dread to the
hardy pioneers who struck out west
and southwest to people a continent
And having realised this, he shoulc
soon grasp the full meaning Of
Thanksgiving Day and keep it il
entire sympathy with the descend
ants of those to whom it meant 81
much. This being so in the case O.
isolated backwoodsmen, it is cleal
that it must come double easy to u
Rngbeians, whose circumstances 81
much more nearly resemble those O.
the early New England settlers
For, in the first place, we are dis
tinctly a community, and one which
has held together through some
troubles which, though not to b.
compared with those of the earl.
settlers of New England, have beef
quite serious in their way. w
had our exceptionally severe winte
and droughty summer, our pestilenc'
and our hard times; from which
latter, indeed, we have not altogethe
emerged. Nor are we altogethe
without an experience which en-
ables us in a measure to appreciate
another of the severe affections o
the early settlers, and to sympathis
with their descendants in their de
liverance from it. We refer to tn
high and dry, Church and King, do
. as-you'r e-bid-or-g o-to-blazes, Colo
NAL Governor, who, with the bes
,, possible intentions and motives, di
so much towards the final cuttin
away of Britannia S eldest child fror
her apron strings.
The Rugbeian and district reporter. (Rugby, Tenn.) 1882-1883, 1882-12-02

And so, in conjunction with our
fellow-citizens we have rejoiced,
and been thankful for the abundant
season which has just closed; nor
have we been unmindful of minor
mercies for which we ought also to be
grateful.
