THANKSGIVING DAY,
Brown antumn's lavish hand had spread

And from the burrs o'ernead,

Brown antumns lavish hand had spread
on bush and brake her berries red,
And from the burrs o erhead,
In which all summer they had lain,
WIN paitering sound like drops OF rain,
hipe chestnuts fell upon the plain.
And barn aad granery were stored
win ripe corn-the winter hoard;
ana plenty reigned at every board.
And once again returned the day,
When, casting toll and care away,
people lft their hands to pray.
And bless the love and Sovereign will
That did their homes with plenty ILL.,
And keep their bounds mistaken still.
On many cottage hearth that night,
Cleaned ruddtly the faggots light,
And round II gathered faces bright.
Without, were wind and storm and sleet,
Within the sound OF dancing feet,
And bursts of laughter wild and sweet.
BY the hearth Of farmer Stone,
He sat with his good wife alone,
ave that the dog who now had grown,
In faithful service old and gray,
Curled up upon the bearth-rug lay,
Aud dozed the evening hour away.
The farmer spoke: ''Ten years to-day,
The ship that bore our boy away.
Went slowly sailing down the bay.
"TeD years! count them DER and Ger
She never gained the destined shore;
Our boy returned to us no more.
"But, oh, we have a home more fair,
Where grief can enter not, nor care
May we but find our lost Que there!
"Cease, murmurng thoughts, TO vex my min
Gods ways are dark aud we are blind
Down, Carroll down twas but the wind!'
On creaking hinges swung the door,
stranger stood upon the floor
The dog look up, but barked no more.
"Come inl Come iny' the farmer said
"Welcome TO food and fire and bed,
And shelter for thy weary head.
''No thanks. An open door keep;
had son sweet be his sleep
The ocean surges DER him sweep.
But were he liying--did he stand
Like thee upon stranger land,
Should | not bless the friendly hand
"That should kind pity on him taSe2
Stranger, pause not excuse 10 make
You're welcome for our lost ones sake
Quick from his face the stranger tore
The cap that hid biz face before,
Then turned him TO the fire once more.
'Fdtherl am / "a stranger still?
Mother! do yau not know your WHIP
Not deaf! no, dead. but living still"
snow woe is met the mother said;
''This is some trick OF my old head.
My boy--who says he is not dead!'
But the old father well content,
Forgot not who the b ssing sent,
And murmured as the knee he bent,
While DER his features stole ray,
Bright as CLEAN of Heavens own day:
"The Lord is graclous-let US pray"

Congressional Notes.

WASHINGTON. June SENATOR Beck
in introducing the bill to prohibit mem
bers of congress from acting as attorneys
or employees of railroad corporations that
hold charters or have had grants from
the United States, remarked that there
had been much elimination and recrimin-
alton in both houses about members OF
congress being employed by railroad com
panies. The bill, he said, was intended
see if a remedy could be provided for the
troubles.
Mr.. Miller called up the bill extending
the eight hour law to letter carriers; he
said the post office department had ruled
that letter carriers are not entitled to come
under the provisions of that law, but he
(Miller) saw no reason why these en-
ployes should not be put in equality with
other employees. The bill passed.

The Judges Charge.

ST. LOUIS, June l.-Judge VanWag-
onersofthe criminal court, read his in
structions to the jury trying the Maxwell
case this morning. The judge said if the
jury should find the defendant did kill
and murder Preller in the manner and
form charged in either of the counts of
the Indictment, they should return a YER
dict of guilty of murder in the first de-
gree; if, however, the evidence showed
that the defendant undertook to treat or
operate on Preller for a disease and he
administered chloroform so negligently,
carelessly and recklessly as to cause his
patients death, but without intent to kill
or do bodily harm, then they should bring
in a verdict of manslaughter in the fourth
degree. The Judge further instructed the
jury that if it had been shown hat Preller
desired the defendant to treat him for
the disease indicated in the testimony and
submitted himself voluntarily to such
treatment, and defendant administered
chloroform in a cautious, careful and
precedent manner, then the verdict mot
guilty should be returned, and they
should acquit the defendant. The judge
also informed the jury that a verdict Of
guilty could be returned upon circum-
%stantial evidence alone. At the conclu-
sion OF the judges speech the counsel for
the state began speech making. 1t is
expected that the case will not be given
to the jury before Thursday next at
noon.
