PREDICTING SPEEDY RETURN TO MON
ARcHY-PRINCE vICToR'S BURLESQUE COURT.
N. Serve, an intimate friend of the Comte de
Paris, writing to the Paris SoleA, says that the
period of exile will be short; that the three and
half million votes given to the conservatives
at the last election will soon develop into six
million royalist votes. and that France is weary
OF and disguised with republican plumbers, and
Will return to the monarchy. NJ. Clemenceau
Vlndlcates the expulsion of the princes. He
says that If the mOnarchistS meant war he was
not afraid of the issue. He believed that they
would finally regret it.
Inc French radical press point to the Count
OF fsrls manifesto as proof of the dangerous
character OF the man as a resident OF the re-
pubic. They say the manifesto completely un-
masks his real character as conspirator.
Prince Victor Napoleon Will reside perma-
nently at Brussels. He intends to hold a minia-
ture court OF imperiali.ts, and he will be at
tended by number of his partisans in turn,
Keeping up the appearance OF prince imperial

FOR WHAT SHALL WE BE THANKFUL!

Some Old, Oft Repeated Questions, and
Their Questionable Answers.
"For what shall we be thankful?" say the
sorrowing "Grief abideth with us, and in
our hearts is the bitterness of continued
trouble"
"For what shall we be thankfulg' say the
poor 1.-THE earth overaows with plenty, but
we are destitute Cold and hunger is our
portion, and want is our companion all the
days of the year"
"For what shall we be thankfuls' say the
hopeless. "The days go on, but they bring us
no Joy. The sun and the moon traverse the
heavens without warming our chilled hearts
or lighting our dark pathway"
"For what shall we be thankfulg" say the
disappointed. "Wherever we turn, there,
waiting to dishearten us, turks disappofnt-
ment. When we rise he it is that causes us
again to fall"
'For what shall we be thankfuls" say the
tempted. the mistaken, the fallen. "Our
temptations have overcome us; our mistakes
have destroyed us; our sins have crushed US.
For US there is nothing left but wretchedness. I"
3For what shall we be thankfuls" say the
baff1ed. When we strive we fail; when we
pray no answer comes; when we hope our
hopes are never realized; when we love oAr
loves are lost to u.s."
"For what shall we be thankful?" say the
bereaved "Death has robbed us and left us
moaning. Our sore hearts cannot take up
the cry of rejoicing, for we weep uncom-
forted."
"For what shall we be thankful~ say the
sick. ave suffer and know no ease. We are
full of anguish night and day."
"For what shall we thankful!" say the per-
secuted. "Our enemies outnumber us; our
burdens are greater than we can bear"
"For what shall thankful?" say the
weary. the wounded, the forsaken, the heavy
of heart. "For us there is no rest no happi-
ness, no help. WEAKNESS is our portion and
burdens our Inheritance. We have no cause
for rejoicing from the beginning of the year
to the end"
For these, for all these, it is written "Rest
in the Lord. Oh, rest in the Lord. Wait pa
tiently for Him and He shall give thee thy
hearts desire"
To these, to all these, the promise has been
given. To these, the words from plain old
sermon come with power to heal: "There is
still heaven to be thankful for. Whatever
sorrows bereave us here, whatever fatal mis-
takes darken our lives, whatever irredeemable
losses befall us, we may yet rest in the Lord,
and wait patiently for him in the little life
that remains; for eyond this worlds gain or
loss high in the serene air of heaven, when ex-
istence ceases to be a lesson and becomes vivid
life, there and only there shall He give us our
hearts desire III its immortal fullness. Here
knowledge is defled, love is imperfect, purity
the result OF fiery trial, wealth rusted into
ccvetousness; but in heaven is the very native
country of pure knowledge, perfect love, ut
ter sinlessness, and riches that neither moth
nor rust corrupt, that bless and curse not"
The weekly sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1886-1887, 1886-11-25

1t might be dangerous to stake ones repu-
tation upon the assertion that Thanksgiving
is a strictly religious feast. 1t is a day of
practical rejoicing in the good things of this
world, and there may even be people whose
mouths are fuller of turkey than their hearts
of thanks But every year the area of the
feast enlarges. Every year there are more
people who sit down to grooming boards" as
the reporters happily express it, upon occa-
sions of civic festivity.
Dear old Thanksgiving! Long and long may
his hospitable board be spread Long and
long may he stand, benignant, at his door,
calling in the poor and the weary, the blind
and the lame, even as the old Puritans called in
Massasoit and ninety other savages. Rich in
blessings and reverend in years, may good
old Thanksgiving last with the continent,
knitting closer the ties of family and friend
ship; its cheerfulness beaming like the smile
of patriarch; its charity burning like CEN
trail fire, warming all the year and lighting
up every dark day of care and sorrow.

THE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING.

A Purely Puritan Festival of Rejoicing
Over Worldly Things.
As il to resist the bitterness and sadness of
the failing year, the most genial and kindly
of all our festivals occurs at the end of No
vember. It's very name, THANKSGIVING, be-
trays its pious brigham origin unmixed with
any prior tradition. The great Christian
festival of Christmas stretches backward to
yule logs and mistletoes, to Scandinavian and
Briton heathenry; nor does 1t lose by the
graceful happy association. But Thanks
giving Is purely Puritan It is the good,
warm heart conquering the tou5h head and
ascetic manner of the old pilgrims
In E1liott's @New England History you
may read that in 1928, after the harvest,
Governor Bradstreet sent out company to
shoot game TO furnish dainty feast of re-
toicing after the labsrs Of the colony. Hav-
ing followed the directions of the governor,
and the principle q the excellent Mrs Glass,
they cooked their game and invited Massa-
soit and some ninety other sevaeee, and ell
