EARLY THANKSGlVlNGS

As Founded by the Puritan Fathers-Tho
High Priest of All Festivals.
Perhaps of the thousands who duly OBJ
serve the day, there are many who do not
stop to think of the antiquity of Thanksg!v-
ing, or of the manner in which it was OBJ
served in the old Colonial days. Writing
on this subject, Harriet Beecher Stowe
says:
s'Our good Puritan fathers intended to
form state of society of such equality OF
conditions, and to make the means OF Sc
curing the goods of life free to all, that
every body should find employment for hs
faculties in a prosperous seeking OF his
fortunes Hence, while they forbade thea
tiers, operas and dances, they made state
of unparalleled peace and prosperity, whore
one could go to sleep at all hours OF the day
or night with the house-door wide open,
without bolt or bar, yet without apprehcn-
sion of any to modest or make afraid
''The Fourth Of July took high rank after
the Declaration of Independence, but the
king and high priest of all festivals was
the autumn Thanksgiving.
''When the apples were all gathered and
the cider was all made and the yellow
pumpkins were rolled in from many hill
in pillows Of gold, and the corn was husked,
NoA>Sr
and the warm, late days of Indian summer
came in dreamy and calm and still, there
came over the community sort of genial
repose of spirit, sense of something ac-
complished and of new golden mask made
in advance on the calendar of life.
''In those days there were none Of the
Thousand ameliorations of the labors OF
housekeeping which have since arisen, no
ground and prepared spices and sweet
herbs; every thing came into our hands in
the rough and in bulk, and the reducing OF
it into state for use was deemed one OF
the appropriate labors Of childhood. Even
the salt we used in cooking was rock-salt,
which we were required to wash and dry
and pound and sift before it became fit fox
use.
ssGreat as was the preparations for dim
ncr, every thing was so contrived that not
a soul in the house should be kept from tho
morning service of Thanksgiving in tho
church, and from listening to the Thanks
giving sermon, in which the minister was
expected to express his views freely con-
corning the politics of the country and tho
state of things in society in general"
