anniversary Of our wedding.
 "Deary me-" thought, peering into the oven to see how the turkey was get ting on. "I can't believe it has been thirty years since Tom and I stood up before Preacher Censor to get married it really doesn't seem that long; but Preacher Censor has been dead and gone these twenty years, Toms hair is as white as the flour at the mill, and L. well, I don't feel so very old yet, and wouldn't realize the flight of time so much If hadn't Jamie, here, with me" and glanced at our only child-a man now in years, but to me always child, 1, for he had never grown in statue since ten long years ago, when they brought him in mangled and bleeding, his feet crippled for life caused, by fall from beam in the mill.
 thought it would kill me, at first, to see my once active, bonny, bright, dar- ling tramping around on crutches: but somehow got used to it as years passed us both by-so used to it, indeed, that when Jamie asked me that Thanks giving morning if I would take Dora for my daughter, flared up at him and answered him more sharply than should have thought possible for me to answer my idolized boy.
 What right had he to leave me for Dora2 Not that I disliked the girl, though she aeas a strange sort of body living first at one house then at another. Our neighbors were all working people and managed to get along without hired help, except field-hands and some such man-labor; it was only at house cleaning times that Dora was needed steadily, or when sewing was going to be done, at marriages or funerals. It was hap hazard way of getting ones bread, bat Dora was always busy; for she was as handy at boys work as any lad in the villages and had the advantage of being more intelligent Dora would be just the wife for my son; she was energetic robust, strong and smart, while he was the crippled son of hard working miller, who could leave him no money or estate when he died; and me, his mother, who could leave him only to the mercy of the world when life was ended.
 But steeled my heart against his y,1o nd |; short, angry replies, until he could stand it no longer and hobbled away, slowly and tremblingly, toward the mill
 My heart cried out for him; but I stifed it's reproaches, and gave vent to my ugly feelings by spitefully dashing all manner of kitchen utensils out upon the porch. After the turkeys were tanned to russet and gold in the big oven, and the cakes were done, the ex- citement that had kept me In furry all day suddenly left me. and sat down in the disordered kitchen and had good, long, hard cry over my poor boy. Still felt that all this trouble was Dora's fault, and I tried to hush my accusing conscience by blaming her.
 By sundewn all was ready to receive the expected guests. Dora had come SO as to help me about the tables, and had treated her so coldly that her usually bright, sweet, sunshiny look fled from her face, and there seemed, oddly enough, gloomy cloud spreading shad- ow-lke, all over the house.

A Thanks@iylng Fable.

The greedy turkey gobbl d up the good.y fare and grew fatter day by day, eut the prudent turkey, suspicious of such bountiful grub, refused to eat it and grew rapidly thinner.
 Finally the master came and said: "Better keep the fat turkey for Christi mas; if we do not kill the thin turkey he may die on our hands"

A Thought For Thanksgiving.

Here is thought for Thanksgiving Day from Emerson: Let the passion for America cast out the passion for Europe. Here let there be what the earth waits for--exalted manhood What this country longs for is personalities, grand persons, to counteract its ma terialities. For it is the rule of the uni verse that corn shall serve man and not man corn. Philadelphia Press.

THE PLOT THICKENS.
New Haven and Waterbury Can Carry
 Connecticut for Cleveland.

New Haven and Waterbury Can Carry
 Connecticut for Cleveland.
 The outlook for a democratic majority in Connecticut is better now than at any time during the campaign. Reports from all parts of the state show that the dem ocrats have majority of all the new voters made, Sanguine democrats are of the opinion that Cleveland will carry the state by plurality of at least 2,000 In 1884 Cleveland had a plurality of 1 ,2S4. Judg- ing from the increase in the number of new democratic voters, the claim of q plurality of ;, GOO this year seems reason able, and if the plurality is not even larger, it will cause some surprise.
 The vote in New Haven county, and particularly in the towns of New Haven and Waterbury, will have much to do with settling the question. In 1884 Cleveland's plurality ill Waterbury was over 800. This year it will in all probability exceed GOO In New Haven i'll 1884 Cleveland had ( plurality of 2,554 This year the democrats are confident of a plurality of it least $500 and many claim that it will be over 1000 in New Haven. A plurality of 1, 300 in New Haven and Waterbury vii give the state to the democrats by at least 2,OO0 plurality.

Concerning the Alleged Subscribers to

Concerning the Alleged Subscribers to
 the Hartford''Telegran," Stock.
 Clinton B. Davis, chairman of the demo- cratic state committee, says, in a letter to the Hartford Times, that he has not sub scribed to single dollar of stock ill the Hartford Telegram or in any other paper. His name appeared among others i'll fac simile of an alleged letter by Judge" Bird sail printed in the Courant. Two of the names were so blurred that they could not be deciphered. On tlis point u @ Her ford Times says:
 The Courant is silent over the fact to which the Times called it's attention yester- day, viz, that the names of John Henney and David Henney, republicans, were in the letter which it published, giving names of subscribers for Telegram stock, or to assist it. Those two names were in that letter, and they are the two names that were battered and blurred in the plate published by the Courant. A magnifying glass shows pant of the letters of their names, even as the letters are battered down. A number of gentlemen saw the letter before it was published in the Cour- ant i've have their names), and the names of JnoHenney and ndDavidHenney were as plain ly written as any of the other names in the letter. Now it will be only fair in the Courant to admit the fact, viz, that the two republican names were in that letter plainly enough written, and that they were Intentionally battered and blurred in the plate it published, to conceal the subscrjp ton of the Henneys.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

President Von der Ahe has his eyes longingly fixed on Sam Wise of the Boston club. He thinks Sam would just fill the gap at short field for the Browns. Pitts burg, it is said, also wants Samuel. So does Washington. It looks as if St Lonis won't have much of chance to get the great Boston player.
 Von der Ahe is the most disconsolate man in America at the present time. After the series was lost he called his men together and said, in a doleful way Something serious will happen all of you this winter. A man named White will hear something drop. All of you will be startled. You used to be called champs, but l call you chumps."
 When the Giants left St Louis, Manager Mutrie offered to give little Tommy Mccarthy of the Browns free passage to New York. As the St Louis team had nc more games to play, Mccarthy asked per save his fare home. MT Von der Ahe said McCarthy's contract did not expire until Oct 31, and refused to let him go. It is safe to say that Mccarthy will make Chris pay for his closeness when the time comes to sign contracts for 1889.

A LETTER FROM \ SOLDIER.


Treatment of Disabled Veterans By the
 Democratic Administration. To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 A few republican soldiers think that tie democratic party does not deal justly with the disabled veterans of the late war. Let them make a note of the following letter received to-day from a citizen of Water bury who is enjoying the last few years of his life under democratic administration. He was volunteer in a Massachusetts reg iment:
 NATIONAL SOLDIERS HOME.
 TAGUs, Me, Nov 1, 1888. Charles G. Root, Esq, Waterbury Conn:
 Honored Sir-I take great pleasure in writing to you to inform you of my safe arrival here and my impressions of the home. delayed writing till now so that 1 could write you something definite. We have a splendid place here; a library of about 20, ,0OO volumes by the best authors, on every subject; a beautiful reading room supplied with all the principal daily and weekly newspapers of the country and all the magazines. We have what is pronounced the best brass and stringed band in the New Eng land states, which furnishes a concert every day. There is also an enclosed park, where are kept deer, bears, monkeys, etc. Everything is done to make the home at tractive. We have an amusement hall where the best dramatic and minstrel troupes on the road are hired to give us entertainments free We are furnish ed with the best food in the -narket, well cooked well served and plenty of it. We sleep on spring beds manufactured in Hartford would advise anyone coming to this part of the country to be sure to pay the soldiers home a visit. There are three cities, Augusta, Hallowell and Gardiner, within five miles of the home and we can go to those or Tagus lake at.pleasure, as there are no restric- tions.
 So you will infer from this that I am perfectly contented. I am happy to state that pensions are all paid to recipients, there being few in the home who draw $4S per month. Under late law no new corners are admitted who draw SIG pel month or over, and think that is but just.
 I remain, honored sir, your very hum ble servant,
