THANKSGIVING.

Omen! grown sick with toll and caro-,
Leave for awhile the crowded mart;
o women! sinking with despair,
Weary of limb and ain of heart,
Forget your cares to-day and come
AS children back to childhood's homol
Follow again the winding rills;
Go to the places where you went,
When, climbing up the mme hills,
In their green lap you sat content;
And softly leaned your head to rest
On natures calm and peaceful breast.
So lightly trodden by your feet,
When all you knew of life was good,
And all you dreamed of life was sweet,
And let fond memory lead you back,
Ger youthful loves enchanted track.
Taste the ripe fruit of orchard boughs,
Drink from the messy well once more;
Breathe fragrance from the crowded
mows,
With fresh, sweet clover running DER;
And count the treasures at your feet,
OF silver rye and golden wheat.
Go. sit beside the hearth again,
Whose circle once was glad and gay:
And If from out the precious chain
Some shining links have dropped away,
Then guard with tenderer heart and hand
The remnant of our household band.
Draw near the board with plenty spread,
And if in the accustomed place
You see the fathers reverend head,
Or mothers patient, loving face,
Whate'er your life may have Of ill,
Thank GOd that these are left you still.
And though where home hath been you
stand
To-day in alien loneliness;
Though you may clasp no brothers hand,
And claim no sisters tender kiss;
Though with no friend or owe nigh,
The past is all your company
Thank God for friends our life hes
known,
For every dear, departed day;
The blessed past is safe alone
God gives, but does not take away;
He only safely keeps above
For us the treasures'that we love.

GIVING THANKS IN SORROW

Consolation for tho Afaicted-The Sweet
est Of All Songs Is the Song In the
Night. -
There is Grape on your door, and sor-
row in your heart. You sit down 10
your table to-day, and miss the form
that sat with you and the eyes that
looked love upon you last Thanksgiv-
ing Day. You go to church, and the
voice that mingled with your voice
. year ago is silent, and your
voice is silent, too; the one song
al not 60 without the other.
These two voices were the two wings of
one song; and now that one wing is
gone, the other is helpless, and the song
can not soar. The head is heavy; the
home lonely; the church dark; the life
silent and solitary. You could far
easier keep a day Of fasting than q day
of thanksgiving.
Are you, then, denied, are you to de-
ny yourself, Thanksgiving Day? Are
you worse off than the Psalmist-feign-
ing madness before the heather King,
an outlaw; driven from father and
mother and wife and friend, hiding
from death, not knowing out Of what
ambuscade it may suddenly leap upon
him? Hank to his song in the night:
81 will bless the Lord at all times; His
praise shall. continually be in my
mouth" Are you worse off than Paul
"a prisoner at Rome; neglected, alone,
almost unfriended; not knowing how
soon the summons to the block would
come to him; with the care of all the
churches on his heart, yet unable
to minister to them; slandered in
the house of his friends, and
unable to defend himself; knowing that
heresy and corruption are creeping into
warn or guard them? Yet it is then
that he writes to the Philippians: RE
joice in the Lord alway; and again 1
say, rejoice" Are you worse off than
Jesus Christ-deserted by all but the
eleven; knowing that the traitor has
already gone out from the supper-table
to complete the bargain for His betrayal;
knowing that.Peter is soon to deny Him
with oaths; knowing that the multitude
are soon to be clamoring for His death;
knowing how His followers hopes are
to turn to ashes, and His mothers heart
of love is to be broken, and even His
wv soul is to go down to death in
darkness. as though He were forsaken
by His God? And yet then it is that
He opens His treasury and gives to His
own, as His last love token, His joy in
the dying bequest: Fulfill We my Joy"
'Be Of good cheer, I have overcome the
world"
Gods best gift is His gift of sorrow.
The brightest diamond is a tear. Grape
on the door is the token that Gods best
angel has been within. The empty
chnir is full. The eyes of love still look
OH you; the silent voice only waits your
voice to sing with you. The song of
the ~whippoorwill out of the darkness of
the evening twilight is sweeter than the
song Of the robin in the early dawn.
The sweetest of all songs is the song in
the night. Blessed is he who can sing
that song, vel out of his sorrow, this
Thanksgiving Day.-Christian Union.

THE GREAT POLITICAL SUPERSTITION.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-A good many
years have elapsed since the late
Prince Consort of England, Albert
the Good, startled q number of
steady-going people by declaring
that parliamentary institutions were
on their trial. Rugged Thomas Car
lyle had previously lunged at them
with the claymore of his trenchant
ridicule, and had invited the wor-
shippers of government by pala-
yer" to ponder seriously on the
spectacle of " six hundred and fifty
eight miscellaneous persons set to
consult about business with
twenty-seven millions, mostly fools,
assiduously listening to them and
checking them and criticising
them" and to ask themselves
whether there ever was, since the
world began, or there ever will be,
till the world end, any business
accomplished in these circum-
stances" Thirty-four years ago,
when these words were first written,
they were regarded as rank heresy,
but since then the venerable belief
in the wisdom, excellence, and in
fallibility of parliamentary institu-
tions has received some very severe

shocks, and Mr.. Herbert Spencer's
assault on them in n late number of
the Contemporary Recje,C, wherein
he says that "thc great political
superstition of the present is the
divine right of Parliaments," is
likely TO command the sympathy
and receive the support of thou
sands of intelligent men and wo-
men, who will applaud the conclu-
sion he has arrived at, that "the
function of true liberalism in the
future will be that of putting n limit
TO the powers of parlamcnts."
And eventually so complex and
clumsy piece of machinery will be
superseded by something much sim
pier and more efficient, for all gov
erning institutions grow out Of the
wants and circumstances of society
for the time being. Representative
institutions supplanted one-man rule
and have done good work in their
day, but they will, like many other
things, become obsolete. The good
sense Of civilized mankind in the
twentieth century is not likely to
tolerate so "ugly an exhibition of
human stupidity" to quote again
the words of Carlyle, as that which
is presented by so many Legislatures
Of modern times and generation
which crowds the activity of years
into single month and economies
time by every scientific agency avail
able will insist on abolshing that
awful waste of it which occurs in
government by palaver. Just
look at our own legislatures last
record--ninety-six CD days con-
sumed in passing fifty-four 90 laws
at an expense of S35, 200 (D which
if properly prepared could have
been passed in one-fourth of the
time. And then not even one of
those was Of such pressing nature
as to have caused great grief if it
had never seen the light, and all
told they certainly are not worth
onc-tcnth of the cost. The heat of
the battle is over, the Legislature is
over now and people can look at
matters calmly and we would advise
all sensible people to ponder over
this aspect of the question and con-
slider what steps should be taken to
meet the difficulty. We should not
wait to follow slavishly in the foot
steps of older and larger States, for
our circumstances are probably
unique in the history of the globe,
and if we do not act for ourselves
we shall be probably as badly off
in the future as we are now.
