fifth had been left alone Catching
sight of ship in the offing this poor
wretch had one day crawled ont u his
cave and dragged himself along up the
rocks to the crest Of the promontory,
with the thought to ring this bell, to
sound one last peal of despair rather
than hope, and had fallen in his tracks
never TO rise again After giving orders
to the two seamen to dig grave for the
bones of this last survivor. Capt Willis

venting several candidates for postmaster
from joining the procession.

Lambertville Rubber Co., the writer, a
few days ago, was highly pleased with the
manner in which the employees OF the
room received him. They are always
ready to meet you. The airs played by
the band was good, and we will be pleased
to hear them again, as we very seldom
hear such music.

a RURAL THANKSGIVING IN

"The past rises before me like a
dream" as Bob Ingersoll said. We are
back in the good old times before the
war, in the middle section of the Wa
bash valley. The glorious, mellow, yell
low, late autumnal days have come In
dian summer is past, it is true, but its
aroma still fingers on the brown mead
ows and in the gloriously varicolored
woods. At least one year in three we
have slate springs and late falls" as the
farmers say, and this is one of the years.
The frost is on the pumpkin, but lightly
as yet, and the fodder is in the shock,
though the cattle still browse little
and are fattening in the stalk fields, from
which the yellow corn has just been
gathered.
"This is the time of year when every
thing tastes good" the boys say. "This
is the season when the game is at its
best" say the hunters. "And this is the
season when our bones hurt us the least"
the old folks say. The milk is cool and
rich. All the vegetables are at their
best, perfectly ripe, but not yet withered
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1892-11-23


by weeks of lying in the cellar. And
the small boy-how he does enjoy this
seasonl These are the days when he
"slips off at afternoon recess" gives the
school house the 'cold shake" and hur-
ries to the south woods, there to gather
the big green walputs in piles; pounds
the soft hulls off and picks out the nuts,
pausing occasionally to crush one with
a convenient stone for immediate con-
sumption. His lips are stained; his
hands are dyed and dull brown; he
knows cit will never come off till it
wears off, and that the chances are
even that he will get whaled, but still
he does it as he did it last year, and as
he will do it again. We all did it.
1t is the day before Thanksgiving
glorious, golden, sunshiny and stimulat-
ing day-and the old farmyard is full of
life. Red Pete, as we call last years
gobbler, is strutting about in the glory
of freshly attained adult gobblerhood,
as proud and important as if he were
directing the proceedings. He is in a
sense, though he little imagines the
sense. "Our riot dooms him to bleed to-
day." as Pope says, but not having our
reason he can look on in the happiness
Of ignorance. The chopping block,
staked fast for the convenience of cut
ting kindling, is before his eyes, and just
beyond the ak is on the grindstone, but
he little imagines that it all has any ref
erence to him; that he is the central
figure in the coming proceedings. He is
lovely in life, and in death he will be
divided, the preacher and the poor get
ting their share.
The wife and mother takes stock of
ducks ana chickens, bit bit talk. :;;si.isss CO the So
cial features. VIII the boys get home
from Asbury university. They will, for
the "spondulix," as college boys in
those days called the remittance, was
sent in time, and even now the younger
brother has gone to the country depot to
fetch them home in the old farm wagon.
Thanksgiving morning-the light break
fast is soon dispatched, for that is a
small affair ON such day. There is a
general brushing up, and all are off to
the country church. The preacher and
his wife return with the family, and
about o'clock the great event of the
day is on.
All are there-the two boys from
college, the hired man and one or two
cousins, the Oldest girl of the family and
the rosy checked farmer she married a
year OF so before. The baby is laid on
the bed in the nearest room, and there is
always at least one little girl 80 fond of

ment, and the evening in which the
young people take possession Of the
housed Such was Thanksgiving in the
good old times, such for the most part
1t still Is, and such may it long continue
to be. Woo.
