MISCELLANY.

Though autumn fingered mild and fair
For weeks upon our mort them air
A keener touch Of frost has told
The story Of the coming cold;
But what care we for cold or frost,
or why count summer days as lost,
when Plenty, from our harvest fields.
a goOdly store'of comfort yields,
Enough for all our wants, supplied
by him who for the birds provides.
With some to spare for others need,
Safe gathered from the June nursed seed.
A wood pile heaped beside the door,
The coal-bn full and running DER
The turkey dressed and hanging high.
A row Of mince and pumpkin pie,
with nuts and fruits from every CLINE.
Proclaim again Thanksgiving time.
In every cottage, house, and town,
A priestess, i'm her kitchen gown,
The oldtime grateful incense burns
For some dear heart that homeward turns.
And on her household altar lays
The best she has Thanksgiving days.
