THANKSGIVING DAY.

This is a Civil Feast, a Festival
appointed by the State. And it is
remarkable not more for its wide
spread observance among our people
than that this observance is so con-
tinuous and unchanged as the years
run on. This day is set apart for
praise, for worship and for reverent
thanksgiving to Almighty GoD for
His blessings. 1t is day for aims
giving, for joyous family reunions,
for feasting. And yet our annual
Thanksgiving Day is almost the
sole heritage in ourcivil institutions
from those of a few generations
back who held that feasting and all
things belonging to the senses could
have Int the very slightest connec
ton with true worship, which they
taught must be simply and entirely
spiritual. We note it as a remark
able fact that while in cur socia
customs, and our intellectual habits
and even in our religious beliefs, !
strong and universally acknowl
edged reaction has taken place from
the GOODNESS and austerity of on
Puritan fore-fathers, Thanksgivin!
Day which they bequeathed us
still has a firm place in the people
heart. And it is we'll that this is SC
1t is sad commentary on the weak
ness Of our human nature but to re
turn thanks for blessings received
simple as the act is-natural as tn
act isis one of the deeds for whic
some special time must be appCinte
and set apart to insure its being ker
in a position of rightful prominence
AS car people gather in their respet
tive places of worship on Thursda
next, it will be subject of unive>
sal remark, now as in the man
years of long past, that the Sci
vice is seemly and fitting. Surel
cur blessings of peace, security an
material prosperity never called VI
on us more loudly than now to re,
ognize the Author of these gifts b

of Vermont, to complete their la
bors in season for a Thanksgiving
dinner, If it can be done without in
justice to the demands of measures
which have in them good for the
whole people; if this be so, then
your thanks can extend to a feeling
of security over the knowledge that
the Legislature has adjourned sine
die. Just a word more. On Thurs
day of last week the members of
the Supreme Court were elected.
Judge Redfeld having determined
not to accept reelection, number
of prominent men were presented as
aspirants for the position. Hugh
Henry of Chester nominated Judge
VIM. II. Walker, who was the lucky
man when the votes were counted, ;,
and had occasion to speak of his pc
culiar characteristics which fitted
him for the position, and remarked
that he was man who would know
no favoritlsm, but would maintain ;
strict impartiality as between Repub
licans or Democrats, white or black
or those other things called st

elected. Next week will recoun

One of the greatest drawbacks to
the prosperity and success of any
community is the want of commun-
ity of feeling. Social unity is a
power hardly known in any place.
Ostracisms, janglings and cliques in
a community tell of moral weakness
and mental obtuseness. Anything
should be hailed with joy that tends
to cement people, and make them
one in the life race. Such a people
never fail in true advancement. In
most of our towns there is n great
need of an awakening in morals, and
true public spirit. Anything that
betters the individual betters the
community, and vice versa. Any
public work or anything that the
whole people arc benefited by,
should command the thought and
the purse of the people. The want
of concord is very often seen in a
lack of public spirit, lack of loyal.
ty to the public affairs, and a lack
of eagerness to build up the place
we live in. Every one seems wholly
engrossed in his own affairs, and
wholly unmindful of the public veal,
which must ultimately effect him SO
materially. If all would lift how
easy the wheels of improvement
would roll, but such dead, stolid,
stupid Indifference sinks a people
deeper in the mirc. A few in every
town have to take the lead, do the
work, while the large mass look on
as utterly indifferent as a New Mex.
leo Indian. Nothing determines
the character Of n place more Ger
tainly than its average attendance
on stated public worship. In the
majority of our towns, it is as much
neglected as if the town was turned
into military camp, and church
going was regarded as a detail fol-
camp duty. There seems to be
little or no interest felt in the main.
tenance of public worship, and in
many of our communities, some of

FACTS!
ILLUSTRATED
FOR THE PEOPLE.

NJ. II. Davis, who lives on Derby
Street, would call the attention of
the public to the lodges in business,
and warn them that economy should
be practised. Don't buy goods that
you don't need. The practice of at.
tending auctions and buying goods
that arc not actually wanted is a
poor investment, however low the
price may seem. Remember that all
kinds of merchandise are low, and
can be bought at any time desired
At small pronI. rnc. ract of pc0-
pie running auction houses and re-
ceiving goods every day shows that
there is profit in them even at auc-
ton. NJ. II. Davis, your friend, you
will acknowledge, has and will con-
tinue to be down with the market,
and will not run off South and leave
you, but will stick by and attend to
your wants, and do so for small pay.
He sells the best of goods, and when
you buy of him you will find that
you have received full value. Did
you ever realize that cheap auction
goods were high at any price
I have many times. Remember
that you must pay profit. There i.
no concern but what intends to get
a profit and you must pay it; don't
get fooled, it is fact and you can
not deny it. The cry of children in
the streets, and the ringing of bell.
are actually getting to be nuts
ance. Look sharp!
