"'Tis you who are beside yourself
Thanksgiving was a 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 inn
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 faraway west knew only Of
the presidents proclamation. Ishould 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 o'clock on the
wrong Thanksgiving day Anna became
Abners 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. E. J. EDWARDS.

Around me lay

Her kisses left there for the honey bee
Then, after had laid them with the tress

Her pleasant seeming home--but all around
Was never sign Of her! The windows all
Were blinded; and heard no rippling fall

But, clutehing to the tangled grasses, caught
A sound as though strong man bowed his

And sobbed nloved--sIncomfortedi

THE DAY TN THE FIELD.
A Celebration Under Canvass aud
Under Many Difficulties.

1t was most natural for the minds of the
soldiers to turn toward the good things at
home when Thanksgiving approached. If
the army was lying in camp and communi-
cations with the north were convenient
the matter could be arranged with some
satisfaction by having goodies sent on
In boxes, and the boys sharing and diyid-
ing up so as to give variety at the feast.
Thanksgiving of 1862. however, found
the Army of the Potomac campaigning
toward Fredericksburg, on the Kappa
hammock. Nearly every mess among the
eastern troops especially, to whom Thanks
giving is the festival of all the year, had
requested boxes to be shipped as far as
Washington, there to take their chances of
transportation to the 'front.'
The last Thursday in November found
them in Washington still, the contents
spelling il they were perishable, and for
the most part perishable they were. The
next resource for something extra with
which to celebrate the occasion was the
suffers store. Our regimental sutler hav-
ing received good scare somewhere ON
the peninsula some months before had not
returned to camp. Still another thing was
to fall back on the supplies of the country
These, however, were wholly inadequate
to meet the wants of hundred thousand
men, for the range of territory where it
was safe to forage was limited.
As the time drew near knot of men in
our company decided that a Thanksgiving
feast.for them was going to be out of the
question, and in order to equalize things it
was decided to form company of regula-
tors and see that none Of the other boys
had anything beyond the customary ra-
