THANKSGIVING Dinner in 1853.

Thanksgiving meant much in the early
time of New England, VIXEN the very
life of the colony mi ght depend upon a
shower of rain. en- all the coast Of New
England there is pretty sure to be a
period of drouth in the summer, and this
drouth caused the first comers extreme
apprehension.
The soil was light, the sun was burn
ing hot, and the discouraged farmers
saw the corn upon which their existence
depended whitening day by day. One
of the old ministers of 1858 wrote in the
quaint manner of the period, and not
without touch of Yankee humor:
"The chiefest corn the people planted
before they had plows was Indian grain,
whose increase is very much beyond all
other, to the great refreshing of the poor
servants of Christ in their low begin
nings. All kinds of garden fruits grew
very we'll, aud let no man make jest of
pumpkins, for with this fruit the Lord
was pleased to feed His people, to their
good content, till corn and cattle were
increased"
But even pumpkins will not grow
without rain. In the summer of 1888
there was dry time so prolonged and
so alarming that the people gathered to-
gether to pray for a saving shower, As
the writer already quoted records, 'they
fell down on thsir knees, " and urged it
as "a chief argument that the malignant
adversary would rejoice in their destruc.
tion."
The answer promptly came GAS
they poured out water before the
Lord, so, at that very instant, the Lord
showered down water on their gardens
and fields, and, as the drops from heaven
fell thicker and faster, so the tears from
their eyes, by reason of the sudden mix
ture of joy,and sorrow"
To crown their happiness, "whole
shiploads of mercies' arrived from be-
yond the seas. In gratitude for this tor
rent of blessings, the seven churches of
New England appointed the 10th of Oc
tober as Day of Thanksgiving and
Praise. Thanksgiving was no mere
form. "They took up the cup of thanks
giving, and paid their vows to the Most
High. - YOUTHS Companion.

MEXICAN BORDER TROUBLES.
Indications that Mexico VIII Not Change
Her law.

Her law.
despatch from Washington says: Mr.
Manning, the new minister to Mexico, was
instructed to secure the consent of the Mexi-
can government to the rep al Of the federal
stature providing for the punishment in that
republic of violations Of its laws committed
on foreign territory, the same under which
Cutting, the Ell Paso editor, was tried. There
are very strong indications that lie will not
be succe slul. At the department Of state l
have seen copies of the speeches made by
President DiaZ and Minister Manning at ne
lattels formal presentation OF his letter of
credencc. In the address of Mr.. Manning,
the following passage occurs: Il hope from
tier attritions will be diminished by the
prompt actions Of both governments in
redressing wrongs and preventing outrages,
and if there are any latent causes of
fiction in any law or custom which might
at any moment produce d,scord, The
conciliatory spirit of both govern
ments, | rust, will era lcate them in the in
terest of both peoples and to the mutual sat
iSfaction of 10Th governments" This ad-
dress, as is the custom, was presented to
President Diaz some days before it was de-
livered. and he, in the prtI aration of his re-
ply TO the significant portion of The minis:
ter's remarks, had the opportunity of refec-
tion; hls answer to the sug,

of the criminal code be repealed, is direct
and positive. He said: 1.-The unimpor-
tant conflicts occasioned by the contiguty of
territory and peculiar circumstances of the
frontier will not be sufficient TO sturb the
relations of the two countries if, as is to be
hoped will be- the case, the good sense
of the two governments makes the
serious interests that are linked with the
prevailing harmony between the two people
paramount to all other considerations We
should take good care, besides, that the laws
of each country be scrupulously obeyed by
the citizens of bothn 1t is said at the Mexl-
can legation that the reply of President Diaz
was hint TO Minister Manning that it would
be useless for him to ask the repeal of article
1S6, and confirms the information, hitherto
eserved, thatthe Mexican government would
not consent to it under any circumstances.
To do so would require the consent of the
Legislature of the "a Mexican states and a
two-third vote of the Congress of the re-
public.

WISE WORDS.

Inevitable evils are always best sup.
ported.
Fortune does not change the character,
but it reveals it.
Grand temples are built of small
stones, and great lives are made up Of
triding events.
Nothing more clearly indicates the
true gentleman than desire to oblige or
accommodate.
The first ingredient in conversation is
truth, the second good sense, the third
good humor, and the fourth wit.
1t is an unfortunate fact that many OF
US put off our manners as we put off our
boots-on the threshold of home.
If we hope for what we are not likely
to possess. we act and think in vain, and
make life greater dream and shadow
than it really is.
No man, however wise, can look far
ahead; but the man who is the best
equipped with the knowledge and readi-
ness will win the prize in the near future.
To do all the good you can to your
fellow beings, to have pure conscience,
to gain an honorable livelihood, procure
for yourself by work little case, to
make those around you happy-that is
true happiness; all the rest are mere
accessories and chimeras.

An Earthnnnke Country.

In some sections of South America
earthquakes are of such frequent occur
renee as to excite very little emotion, ex-
cept on the part of the earth itself. 1t
is needless to remark, however, that the
inhabitants do not live in fourteen-story
flats. Anything higher than a one-story
fiat would find itself fiat on the ground
after a seismic visitation. In. Lima,
Peru, they count on having an earthquake
about once week throughout the year.
If a whole month went by without ter
restrial tremor people would become
alarmed. They would fear that some.
thing was going to happen.
There is another advantage enj yed
by the Inhabitants Of an earthquake
region that are unknown anywhere else
volcanoes that have been doing business
in the same place from time immemorial,
there are new ones continually cropping
out to instruct and amuse the young.
They start up sometimes in the most un-
expected places, which makes it a little
inconvenieut occasionally. After man
has got his farm paid for and in a good
state of cultivation, he dosn't like to
have volcano come along and stake out
q claim on the same property.
Map making is tlourishing business
there. The formation of the country
changes so often that different map is
required very frequently. Last years
map is of no use at all, owing to the new
volcanoes and the elevations and de-
pressions of large tracts of territory that
are continually going on. An enter
prising publisher can effect change in
school books almost every winter, with
out being compelled to pay share of
his profits to the teachers and trustees.
So you see there are compensations at
tending almost every place of human
habitation. lSifGinqs.
