THANKSGIVING PIE.

j. b. SMILEY.
Mr.. Jinkins used to mention to his dear devoted
How the pie his mother made him was the best he
ate
And as how, at gay Thanksgiving, in the merry
days gone by.
The delight of his young bosom was his mothers
luscious pie.
Mrs. Jinkins tried to please him, and all sorts of
pains did take.
But her pie was not as tempting as his mother
used to make.
And he only m need and nibbed. while in vain his
wife did try
To concoot good pastry as his mothers ia
nous pie.
Just to eat piece of pie with all the long remem-
bered charm,
He returned, one bright Thanksgiving to his old
New England farm.
And his heart was filled with rapture. and his
spirits mounted high
AS he puckered up his visage for his boyhood's
famous pie.
But he found himself unable his Thanksgiving to
enjoy
With the same decided relish that he used to
when boy.
And he left the feast half eaten, and adm lifted.
with sigh,
That the change was in his appetite and wasn't
in the pc
He discovered that the pleasure of the great
Thanksgiving fete
Didn't hinge. the way it used to- upon the things
he ate
And he couldn't leave the table with the same
contented sigh,
With his spirit full of rapture and his stomach
full of pie.

THANKSGIVING.

At this season of the year when the
whole country joins in returning thanks to
a kind Providence for the blessings of
year past and the general success of worldly
affairs. we can easily distinguish the prac-
tical christian and sincere man from the
mere church going blubberers and hypO-
critics who assume the cloak of the truly
good for the sole purpose of lettering their
individual selves in a worldly sense. Those
persons who are honest in their professions
of Good will to men," have ample OppOr-
tunity to show it in a practical form at
such time as this day is dedicated to.
Few are so poor that they cannot in some
way alleviate the wants of those to whom
Fortune has been less liberal. There is
many a poor man with large family to
care for who will be III a very poor condi-
ton to offer up thanks upon this day.
Many worthy persons there are who will
have nothing more than crust of bread
with which to express their thanks on this
time hOnOred day, when good cheer aud
plenty should be shOwered upon all.
Any one who will Willingly allow hui
man being to be hungry in body or soul
upon this day should never again lay claim
to being a follower of Christian doctrines.
1t will not suffice to offer up prayer, while
hOrding up worldly wealth. To do so is
like toy manufacturer continually telling
a little boy he wished he had top. while
he has them in plenty. but will not give the
boy one simply because it is slight eX-
pense to him.
Let all who have plenty and TO spare
