THANKSGIVING.

The generous fields have yielded up their
store
OF golden grain, that nodded to the
breeze
OF sunlit summer; from the shelter
ing trees
The autumn leaves are swirling round
the door
OF smiling barns; moonlit nights are
hoar
With. fell's first silver frost; the farmer
The days grow shorter, and in restful
He trims his lamp and counts his labor
A calm, enduring peace pervades the
land,
A soft content, the fruit Of work we'll
done,
Mingled with praise to Him, whose
bounteous hand
Hath blessed the increase and the har-
vest home.
A nations glad hosannas swell the
song,
And thankful hearts its echoes sweet
prolong.

FROM THE JAPANESE.

$50 young, he cannot know the way"
Thus heard a mother say
At the close of a summer day;
But he knew the road, it seems,
Into the shadow-land of dreams,
And she wept above his clay,
Since. though young, he knew the way!
Gone, where summer moths resort,
Or small boats that leave the port.
Sailing over the stormy brine,
Az, with this long sleeve of mine,
Under the gloom Of alien skies,
dry my weeping eyes! S
II could be where the billow whirls.
In laoquered skifi, with apaddle Of pearls
Young no more, but old and gray,
You may be sure I'd know the way.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

"A Wlb0 N6tlVuUIOU ID ludukbSlVluk
Day; and time-honored one. Centur-
les before the Christian era, the Hebrew
nation, as the year drew to close, cele-
brated the feast of tabernacles, the feast
Of the ingathering. At the end Of the
observance, which continued for eight
or nine days, fruits and leafy branches
were waved towards the four corners Of
the earth, while hosannas OF thanksgiv-
ing proclaimed the peoples joy and
gratitude. That the practice was not
migrated on early Christian observance
is little to b wondered at. In the trouo-
lous times, through which the first
Christians passed, there was little room
for display Of exultation- this earth
at least. But, as bettor days dawned,
came revival. At the outset, special
observances were ordered for special de-
liverances, as from an enemy or from
the plague. Then, in the Now England
colonies, days were sometimes set apart
for the acknowledgment Of the mercies
of the year. Massachusetts had day
Of Thanksgiving in 1853, but it was not
until 1863 that President Lincoln's pro-
clamation made it national feast. The
modern observance is purely American.
The English churches, while they take
cognizance OF harvest homo and direct
the people to express their gratitude for
ths.gifts of Providence, have no univer-
sal or concerted observance.
The origin Of tho day, however, is OF
comparatively slight Importance. The
lesson Of tho feast is for US all the main
point, and the necessity for our due rec
ocnition Of it. A Thanksgiving day is q
direct admission OF the Christian char
acter Of our country. The state asserts
that events have happened and blessing'
come beyond the control of congress o.
cabinet. It, therefore, counsels thu
people to express their gratitude to thu
Almighty, whose power and goodness
are thus formally acknowledged. Indi
vidually, the great majority Of US hav
sincere reasons for thankfulness. II VI
feel that, we cannot give better proof o
it than by joining othere IN our JOY
Kind words and thoughtful actions ma
bring pleasure to many q one, who's
Thanksgiving Day might otherwise hav
been dark and gloomy.
As a nation, we have reason to b
thankful. The causes for nationa
thanksgiving are many and great. w
are rich in the blessing of peace. w
have soil which year after year pre-
duces abundant harvests. We have
glorious and healthful climate. w
have q civil organization under whic
education and culture thrive. We hav
distributed among us fair share c
this worlds wealth. If we experienc
difficulties and disappointments, the
are traoeable to the hand OF man. A
the Hebrews of old held aloft the ev
dences Of Gods mercy and shouted the
hosannas, the people Of this country t,
day may express their united and hear
felt gratitude to the giver OF all good.
