Queen Natalie is engaged in writ

reach very far back, and it will most

ON THANKSGIVING DAY.

Our sires were thankful when the year
At harvest brought abundant cheer,
Brought them the increase Of their fields
The bounty of the soil;
They gladly took what Nature yields
AS recompense for toll.
More thankful that it was their lot,
To number mercies all unbought,
To owe submission to no love
But Him who rules above,
And cheerfully obey His word
In reverence and love.
Their simple wants brought little care,
A modest home and frugal fare,
Met fully every hearts desire,
When those who had gone away
Could gather round the old home fire
Upon Thanksgiving day.
Our homes than theirs are statelier far,
Our robes Of richer fabric are,
But do we, glad for these, afford
More thankfulness than they
When we meet around groaning board
Upon Thanksgiving day.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

above you,
Weak with the weight Of years,
His trembling voice with gladness
His dim eyes flied with tears.
To both the greatest pleasure
The year brings on its way
Is this, the glad homecoming
Upon Thanksgiving day.
Once more the rooms re-echo
From Kitchen stairs and hall,
The sound OF old time voices,
And merry dinner call;
While many sweet grandchildren,
With laughter light and gay,
Come pressing round the table,
This glad Thanksgiving day.
So come, We sons and daughters,
Flom restless city strife;
Come, ere you lose your relish
For the quiet joys of life;
Come back, We rowing children,
From prairies far and wide,
And cluster round the hearth-stone
Once more at even-tide
Take up the song OF childhood,
And sing it DER again;
Forget that We are matrons,
Or business-l loving men.
And if your eyes grow misty,
Rejoice that It is so;
A heart sincerely tender
Is the purest one to know.
Remember with your loved ones
Lfe's lamp doth feebly burn;
Your parents may not lingcr
10 greet late return.
Forget them not, though patient
Oh! come now while you may
Praise God-rejoice together
On this Thanksgiving day.
