THANKSGIVING rNrHE OLD HOME

Like the patient moss to the rifted hill
The wee brown house is clinging.
A last years nest that is lone a nd still,
Though it erst was filed with singing.
Then fleet wero the children's pattering feet,
And their trilling childish laughter,
And merry voices, were sweet, oh! sweet,
Ringing from floor to rafter.
The beautiful darlings one by one,
From the nests safe shelter flying,
Went forth in sheen Of the morning sun,
Their fluttering pinions trying,
But oft as the reaping time is DER,
And tse hoar frost crisps the stubbe,
They haste to the little home once more
From the great worlds toll and trouble
And the mother herself is at the pane,
With a hand the dim eye shading,
And the flush of girlhood tints again
The cheek that is thin and fading.
For her boys and girls are coming home,
The mothers kiss their guerdon,
As they came ere yet they had learned to
roam,
Or bowed TO the task and burden.
Over the doors worn sill they troop,
The skies of youth above them,
The blessing of God on the happy group,
Who have mother left to love them.
They well may smile in face of care,
To whom such grace is given;
Amother's faith, and mothers prayer,
Holding them close to heaven.
For her as she clasps her bearded son,
With heart that's brimming over,
She's tenderly blending two in one,
Her boy, and her boyish lover.
And half of her soul is reft away
SO twine the dead and the living
In the little home wherein to-day,
Her children keep Thanksgiving
There are tiny hands that pull her gown,
And small heads bright and golden;
The childish laugh and the childish frown,
And the dimpled fingers folden.
That bring again to the mother breast
The spell of the sunny weather,
| When she hushed her brood in the crowded
nest,
And all were glad together.
A truce to the jarring notes of life,
The cries of pain and passion,
| Over this lull in the eager strife,
Love hovers, Eden fashion.
In the wee brown house were lessons taugh
OF strong and sturdy living,
And ever where honest hands have wrought
God hears the true Thanksgiving.
Margaret E. SangSter.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1889-11-27

"How cold it is ! Come in and get
dinner and then we'll bundle up and go
marketing for tomorrow. Why, what is
the matter, child!'
Tessie told her story of the lost purse.
'NIaybe you dropped it. You know
the conductor. don't you?' suggested her
mother We will go to the car stables
in the morning. Why, what is this!'
and Mrs. Wilbur, who was searching the
pocket of the sealskin coat nervously,
held up a gorgeous diamond ring, which
Tessie recognized as the one which she
had seen sparkling on the hand of her
polite friend of the street car.
There was little slit in the liningof
the pocket, and it had slipped down"
explained her mother. "but, how did it
get there? | never had such ring, and
nobody else has worn the coat"
He picked my pocket' gasped Tessie,
''and the ring caught in the slit and
slipped off and he seemed so nice and
gentlemanly; I'll never trust appearances
again.
"He? Who2" asked Mrs. Wilbur in
bewilderment, Tessie explained.
"Yes, that must have been the way Of
it. Well, well, take it to Mr.. Cold
spring and ask him what to do about.
He knew your father, and will be ready
to help us for his sake
"a very fine diamond" said the
ieweler, when the plan was put into
execution. ''Worth at least $500. OF
course, YOU can advertise it, but | don't
think l would. The thief is caught in
his own trap, and won't be likely to
claim the ring, since to do so would be
to court arrest as pickpocllet. think
you may rest content with having bought
a fine diamond very cheaply, very cheaply
indeed"
And so the matter rested.

saved and brought with me melted away
like snow on the roof of a barn. My time
was mainly taken up in running around
to the musical agencies looking for u
situation. had little job on Sundays
singing at a mission on Avenue A, where
| earned So, and for three weeks that was
all | earned. We lived in East New
York and my car fare over to the city
and back every day cost me sixteen
cents.
You will readily see that we had to
live frugally. In fact, for two weeks we
lived upon oatmeal and molasses, and to-
ward the last there was no molasses, and
Thanksgiving coming over the hills.
Every night when got out at Manhattan
avenue my three little girls were standing
at the foot of the stairway waiting for
me. l could sec them from the top of
the stairs, all in a row, their little cloaks
tapping in the chill November wind,
their lips blue and teeth rattling like
castanets.
Wait a minute. It makes me feel faint
to think of it, even after the lapse of
three years. Well, it's all over now, 1
don't know why it affects me 50 strongly.
There was something humorous, too, in
the way the little tots jumped around to
keep warm. As soon as they saw the
train swing around the turn they ranged
themselves in row and looked upward
so wistfufly, oh, so wistfully, to see their
papa. For you must know that although
not one word of our desperate situation
had been breathed in their hearing, yet
their keen intuitions had told them some
thing was wrong, and they knew as well
as their mother that l was looking for
work. How eagerly they looked in my
face each evening, so that if there was a
ray of hope in it the eldest could start on
run to tell her mother the good news! !!
OF course l cheered them with fairy
tales of what wonderful big turkey we
would have on Thanksgiving. A COB
bier of tremendous size, who had strutted
when alive like a prince in the story
books. Then followed description of
the cranberry sauce and the huge wedges
of mince pie. All this took place while
| was carrying two of the children in my
arms and the other was hanging on to my
coat at my side. | hope | shall be for
given for those lies. For they were lies
