DESIRE for change seems natural in
the human mind, and needs to be pro
vided for like other likes and dislikes
There are instances where energies are
crushed. capacities deadened, and lives
despoiled of happiness by monotonous
existence relieved by no shifting scene,
no change of place, no respite from the
dull routine of hard and perhaps dis
tasteful labor, except in the unconscious
ness of sleep.

PAIN in this world is an undoubted
reality. 1t visits all. and. though in its
advent it bears greater anguish to some
than to others, all feel its torturing
touch. Pain meets man as be enters the
world. follows him through all the sta
ges of life, and leaves him not until his
heart grows still in death. 1t attends
US as a dark angel wherever we go,
through all seasons Of the years and
through every period of our mortal life.

TEMPTATION is a fearful word. 1t in
dicates the beginning of possible series
of infinite evils. 1t is the ringing of an
slarm-bell, whose melancholy sounds
may reverberate through eternity. Like
the sudden, sharp cry of 'Firel" under
our windows at night, it should rouse
us to instantaneous action. and brace
every muscle to its highest tension.

TRY it for day to preserve yourself
In an easy and cheerful frame of mind
Compare the day in which YOU have
rooted out the weed of dissatisfaction
with that in which you have allowed it
to grow up, and you will find your heart
open to every good motive, your life
strengthened, and your breast armed
with panoply against every trick of
fate; truly you will wonder at your own
improyement.

SINCE the change IN the Administra
tion there has not been 80 much howl
ing against the National banks. FROM
the time that the act authorizing them
went into effect $3.50 banks have been
organized under its provisions, of which
1858 are still in existence. OF this
number only 1l3 have failed. The de-
posits in these banks have more than
doubled in twenty years, the amount in
deposit January, 1866. being $522.00O,-
600. and in October of the present year.
81. ia, 100000. The loans and discounts
have nearly trebled during the same pc
riod, having risen $500,0O000O in 1866.
To abandon the system now would prac-
tically destroy S2lO,0OO.OOO in stock, in
very large part held in small sums, and
distributed among the 223.0OO stock
holders. 1t is plain that any act of Con
gress abolishing the Natianal banks or
impairing the system would injuriously
affect large number of comparatively
poor people.

EARLY THANKsGIvlNcs

As Founded by the Puritan Fathers-Tho
High Priest Of All Festivals. I
Perhaps of the thousands who duly OBJ
serve the day, there ara many who do not
stop to think of the antiquity Of Thanksgiv-
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 his
faculties in prosperous seeking OF his
fortunes. Hence, while they forbade thea
ters, 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
1.-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.
'sWhen the apples were all gathered and
the cider was all made and the yellow
pumpkins were rolled in from many q hill
in pillows Of gold, and the corn was husked,
anu UuS ldDOTS VI LNo SCdoCn WCAO 0oAOA
and the warm, late days of Indian summer
came in dreamy and calm and still, there
came over the community sort OF genial
reposc Of spirit, sense of something ac-
complished and of new golden mask made
in advance on the calendar Of life.
SIN 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 din
ncr, every thing was SO contrived that not
q soul in the house should be kept from tho
morning service of Thanksgiving in the
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"
