by name and farmer he is by nature;' that
was what they said of him. And the old
men said to one another that some of the
young fellows should remain to till the
fields, for the soldiers must eat and the old
men could not raise the crops that would
be surely needed to feed them
They looked upon Abner as marvel
They did not wholly understand him. and
they thought the minister had spoken with
the truth when he once said that when
Abner smiles upon the growing grain or
passes by the meadows, 1t Is worth more to
the crops even than sunshine and showers"
lhls Abner Farmer was to the fields
what the geniuses of commerce are to the
markets, and even when he was a child
they said of him, He will do wonderful
Things with the soil, and will teach the
world lessons about the fruits of the earth
some day"
After Abner had said his goodby to all
his friends, one summer day III lsGl as he
was leaving to JON his regiment, ne went
to say farewell to his hetrothed. sweet
Anna Williams. He had not wooed her,
as the other youth of that vicinity had
been used to do. He went with her here
and there among his crops and through
ms fields, and he taught her to love the
soil ana TO feel the majestic mystery which
hides the secret which from the seed brings
forth the harvest
Once when he was walking with Anna,
and was looking at the field of growing
grain just touched with the first golden
promise of the harvest, he said to her
Anna, sometimes think even if | had
no Bible should know God, for seem to
realize his power in the life that is hidden
IN the seed until the earth gives birth to it,
and am very sure | sometimes hear the
music of its growth, and it is sweet
music, Anna. but there are no words to de-
bcribe it,"
The gentle maid heard these strange ut
terances, which were not like the common
conversation of the other youth, and they
gave her JOY, for she said TO herself MY
betrothed has IA great soul, that sees some
things the rest of us cannot see. So he
will love me with "A greater love than even
! can understand"
Abner led Anna by the fields on this day
Of parting wherever his grain and fruits
were growing, and he babe her not to be
sad while he was away, but ever to have
hope of his return. And if she would think
of him he said that she might 90 where he
had planted shrubs and flowers, and TO the

"'Tis you who are beside yourself
Thanksgiving was week ago"
Thus in strange confusion they agreed
but Anna cared not for these words, for
Abner was by her side.
The minister by chance came in and to
him they appealed, and when he had heard
them, then with much of confusion in his
manner he cleared away the mystery.
My fault, my fault" he said. THE
governor of this state appointed, after i'm
memorial custom, the last Thursday of
November Thanksgiving, but President
johnson ! now remember appointed the
first Thursday of December for Thanksgiv
ing. Here in this quiet village we thought
only of the governors proclamation, but
Abner in the PARKWAY west knew only Of
the presidents proclamation. should have
remembered it. Forgive me-"
In an hour all the people were notified
that Abner had come, and grief changed to
JOY. The bushes came to Annals cheeks
The neighbors sent baked meats and there
was great rejoicing and at q o'clock on the
wrong Thanksgiving day Anna became
Abner's bride.
You have heard of the great wheat farm
of the Missouri valley where thousands of
acres yield their goodly fruit; where are
scores of reapers and hundreds of laborers
and miles of granaries. 1t is the noble
place of Abner Farmers husbandry, and of
all his possessions, they say, none compares
in worth or beauty with her who became
Abner's bride on the wrong Thanksgiving
day. f. j. EDWARDS.
