THANKSGIVING DAY THOUGHTS.

Once a year the President and
Governor proclaim Thanksgiving
Day. Though we have not " God in
the Constitution" an omission very
grievous to the souls of Journalists
God is IN the web and woot of our
institutions. Founded on the rock
of civil and religious liberty, from
the first this land has acknowledged
God and bowed down before him.
His guiding hand is seen in the
exodus which peopled the New
World from the Old and founued
"a new civilization on the inspired
Word of God; in the rarely broken
reign of peace; IN the comparative
freedom from plague, pestilence and
famine; in the immunity from those
internal connections which make
life and property insecure in other
lands; in the harvests, which, if not
always bountiful, are always enough;
in the growing intelligence of the
people; in a national life, which, in
spite of the cIoakers, is not growing
worse All this and more the Pres
ident and Governor have in mind
when they proclaim the Day of
Thanksgiving.
1t may well be that the year has
not brought US all we hoped for and
labored for. 1t may even be that as
we look about reward and merit
seem TO have parted company and
to be travelling in opposite directions.
1t is not possible to judge with fair
ness the deserts of other men; who
can judge his own? Fortune is not
more perverse now than she has
been since the world began, nor
men more contented with their lot.
They who have much are en-
numbered with its care; they who
have little sigh and fret for more, as
though the contented hours of life
could find fit expression in such
things only as dollars, lands and ten.
ements-good enough in their way,
but not all of life.
Much will always wanting be
To him who much desires. Thrice
happy he
To whom the wise indulgencies of heaven
With sparing hand but just enough has
given.
Whoever has just enough is supreme
ly blest, and the mind is very likely
to make its own measure of suf-
ficiency. Nobody is so poor, or so
miserable, that he has not some
thing to be thankful for to-day and
every day.-Intelligeneer
