made; from North and South on the

and sisters and friends hasten to each
others houses this one season in the
year, perhaps this one year out of
many; mothers are speeding back, If
they have been away, and fathers,
whose errands have taken them into
distant regions, make all haste to be at
home again. What wonderful human
network is IL thus stretched over the
land, all pulsing and eager and expect
ant of joy, heart-beats running
along each line, love radiating
rom home to home, till one might
think the very air above them would
be electrified and vitalized with the
human warmth! And what precious
freight it has borne thus-the pearls
and silks and teas and spices OF the
Orient far less so-precious with all
that makes life dear, for wealth may

love are not to be spared, and their

Thanksgiving day, then, is a day
that stands for home and humanity
more than any one day of the round
year. Into the other great annual
festivals, with the exception of those
that are purely political, the divine
element enters into a much stronger
degree than into this day, which is not
of divine appointment, nor of the rec
ignition of any deific event, but
only of our own gratitude to heaven
and need of expressing it. 1t

REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.

How a Letter brought Back It's Own
Answer.
Among the stories OF extraordinary
condolences writes a London CORE
spondent OF the Leeds Mercury. not
tho least curious is the history OF q
letter. A short time ago a lady in
London wished to write to friend in
America whose address she did not
know. The only means she had OF
procuring the address was TO write 10
u mutual friend. who also lrved in
America This she accordingly did.

To her surprise she found that anoth-

Holding up the two-fold missive to

the friend to whom she wished to
write and TO discover whose where

HOME FOR THANKSGIVING.

graphic words, al hope there is no dis
satisfied person here but what is con-
tent" were subjects deserving instant
and spontaneous thanks with
out waiting to reason upon
them; although the fact is we
are too prone to think that what we
have is our own, won and deserved by
our efforts, and due not at all to kindly
Providence or heavenly permission.
But If not for special providences and
detailed blessings, thanks must by any
intelligent mind be held due for the
great laws and their operations by
which these blessings have been
brought into being. And in this view,
let us all accept the day as another
gift from heaven, and offer thanks not
alone for all our separate happiness,
but for Thanksgiving day itself.
Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1892-11-25

the rest, instead Of as an offering OF
thanks which we ought to be glad to
make, if only with pulse and water.
Those who have grown to have this
feeling about the day speak OF it as a
day of gormandizing, reproach it with
the manner of its observation, connect
its existence in their minds with re.
sponsibility for gluttony, and are in
danger of losing all lofty or sacred as
ISOLATION with it. AS day of real
thanks TO source of all beauty and
joy and life they do not give
it any peculiar regard. They call it
Thanksgiving day because that is its
name, always has been and always
will be. They do not fail to observe it,
because they are conservative and
want to break in on no established
order of things. They sometimes go
to hear a sermon in which thanks are
apt to figure but little, and politics are
apt to figure a good deal; but on the
whole, they think of it as remarka-
bly, good dinner day.
Yet in the relations of everyday life
with one another, If from any hand
one received such blessing as life, as
love, as freedom from want, as friends,
as family, as the roof that shelters, the
food that loads the table, to say moth
ing of more personal gifts or of the
minor myriad of blessings, it would be
a matter of the most glaring incivility
if any due rendering of thanks were
omitted, and of ingratitude If one even
desired to evade acknowledgement.
The person who has been entertained
over night in dull country house sends
a note of thanks TO the host or hostess
afterward; the beggar on the street, to
whom a half-dime has been tossed,
utters modest word or makes q gest-
ure of obligation, but those who enter
into noneo of the interior reality of
Thanksgiving day, who keep it as
matter of form and because others do,
and because it makes one more Holt
day, and who in return for sunlight,
sleep, waking joy, all the innumerable
pleasures of existence, for the early
and the latter rain. harvest. health,
happiness, see no occasion for
season of special thank-offer-
ing, and in observing the
day observe it rather in a Chinese COM
memoration of the ancestors who APP
pointed it than from the force OF an
irresistible motion Of gratitude in their
own hearts, those people are less civil
than the chance guest, less decent than
the sidewalk beggar, and are really
almost as much to be pitied as il they
had nothing at all to be thankful for.
Yet the idea of the day is something
SO beautiful. that it is shame
the day itself should not always
and everywhere be kept with
such warmth and freshness of feeling
as it would be if it were but just newly
instituted every year. Il is a day that
Christian and Jew and Gentle, Mo-
hammedan and heather, may observe
with tenderness; for each and all of
these have one great benignant source
Of blessing beyond the world of the
senses, from whom they recognize that
they receive all, to whom they know
Isl due worship which includes thanks.

Vegetables and Fruit.

Strawberries are fruit; SO are toma-
toes, melons and cucumbers. One sug-
gested distinction between a vegetable
and fruit is that the latter may be
eaten raw, while the former must be
cooked, but that doesn't hold always.
Technically, fruit incloses the seeds
of the plant and is matured overground;
plant growth matured underground is
a vegetable.
