WHAT HAVE WE TO BE THANK
Full FORP

This is question which many OF us
are asking ourselves today, while alone
in our little 5 by Z; it is but natural
that on an occasion like this, we
let our thoughts wander back to the
past, and in our imagination, or fancy,
we are once more with those that are
dear to us, mothers, sisters, wives,
children and friends; the present Is
forgotten, the future unthought OF,
we live only in the past; shame and
sorrow, trouble and care all, all are for
gotten. Oh! that the dream would
last! But no, it quickly vanishes, and
we once more stand face to face with
reality and cry: 81 have lost all, name,
respect, honor, love, liberty, all which
makes life worth living, have moth
ing to be thankful for.
Still, say we have all of us some
thing to be thankful for. First, let
us be thankful that we have life, and
hope! that hope which is the greatest
blessing ever bestowed upon mankind,
and is worthy all our thanks. Where
would we be, or what would become OF
us, if we had no hope? Why, most OF
us would be under five feet of earth,
or in worse place than this, the grue-
some asylum. Look at the old gray
haired man, with one foot deep in the
grave, or at the miserable sinner on his
death bed, when all else have forsaken
or failed them, they still have hope;
surely it is the last link that unites
mankind to God.
Therefore. if during the past year
we can find nothing in the numerous
blessings we have received to be
thankful for, let us be thankful that
we have hope; and let us do all in our
power, ever striving onward and up
ward, and live our life so, that some
day we shall realize some, if not all OF
our hopes. LILLIEDALE.

AN EDITOR AND HIS PAPER.

A newspaper is not person, but it IS
considerably more than thing. Ithas
a separate existence an identity distinct
from that of it's editor or publisher,
though it's life is very closely connected
with the brain of the one and the pocket
of the other. 1t may be an object of
love and respect, or of hatred and
detestation. The relation between an
editor and his paper is something which
neither Webster nor Worcester has
fully defined. The paper is not the
editor, though it demands his care and
absorbs his thought, hanging on to him
like poor relation, as dependent as
participle on it's parent verb. 1t in
terprets his ideas, and reflects his life
is a sort of errand boy, carrying his
thoughts,-and has, moreover, wise
reticence, never communicating any
thing concerning it's editor except what
he wills to have known. The editor
may be harum -scarum fellow, With
many little flaws on the surface of his
daily life, but the paper is sober, stald,
redolent with virtues, and solemn un-
der the weight of ''leaded" articles.
And so the editor grows to love his
paper. Demanding his constant care,
taxing his most patient thought, it be-
comes the object of his love and the
absorbent of his life. SHADOW b.

SERIES NUMBER 3.
THE RHINE SWITZERLAND AND
ITALY.
(BY CREOLE.)

Three hundred miles from Paris to
Cologne by rail, less than the distance
across New York State but in the
journey you cross France, Belgium,
and the German Empire, you pass
through the Champagne and wine dis
tricts, and the towers of Liege Charleroi,
and Namur, manufacturing towns of
Belgium. All travellers are inspected,
and fumigated at Verviers and Cologne.
The Rhine is a fine broad body of
water spanned by iron bridges. Cologne
is noted city for perfumes, bearing
it's name, but her streets are narrow,
dirty and crooked. The Cathedral is
the most important place; it is the
grandest piece of gothic architecture
in the world; the first stones were laid
in the 18th century, and completed in
1890: it has, two towers five-hundred
feet high; from the top of these towers
YOU have a view of the Rhine for hun
dreds of miles. The Rhine rises in
Switzerland passing through Cologne,
Basel. Strasburg, Mannheim and May
ence. A Rhine steamer looks like
Noah's Ark. Many castles in ruins,
fine vineyards, and islands meet the
view of tourists; getting sight OF
Germania statue or the heights OF
Neiderwold, erected in honor of Ger
many's victory over France; it is one
hundred and ten feet high. Taking
the Rhine as whole, it does not com
pare with the Hudson.
The most beautiful little town in
Switzerland is Zurich; it has fine lakes
and the surroundings of the inhabited
districts are clear and healthy, tn
population being about 25,OOO. Larg
manufactures, and universities; the
naturalist Gesner was born here. A

Nearely every japanese paper has
"prison editor" For infraction Of the
publication laws somebody must go to
jail, and so the prison editors chief
duty is to expiate the newspapers Of
fense by languishing in a cell. In this
connection it is said that prominent
dry goods house in New York keeps a
man whose principal duty is to be dis
charged to appease irate females who
make complaints to the manager. 1t
is stated that at times this man is dis
charged from the employ of the firm
as many as ten times day.-Ex.

ATHANKSGIVING A SONG.

The world has its Joy and its sorrow.
The world is so grim and so gray;
1t yearnS and it longs for the morrow
TO heal all the wounds of today.
The world like graybeard is signing
And sobs as it thinks of the past;
For the years like grim vultureS are nylng
AS swift as the blast.
We strive with fervid endeavOr.
We strain and we fight in the race;
The struggle continues forever,
For Time sets furious pace,
More pleasure there is in the straln1ng
Than Joy when the goal is attained;
We lose when we think we are gaining,
The wise men maintained.
And vet we have cause for thanksgiving.
For sweet is the taste of the air.
And goOdly the pleasure of living:
And Joys that we bitheSOmely share.
The earth is still fertile and gracious.
We garner the fruit and the flowers:
The sky that O'erSpans us is spacious.
And sweet are the hours.
Give thanks for the trees and the grasses
That carpet the hillside and plain;
For the radiant sun as he passes,
And wheels DER the murmuring main.
All these are the gifts of the Master
Who marshalS the planets on high.
And shields all the birds from disaster
Wherever they fly.

WHY ANDHow WE GIVE THANKS
Prepared for Chautauqua Circle fo
Thanksgiven Exercises.

There are various methods and rea
sons for celebrating the day set apart
by our rulers as one of thanksgiving,
some of which l will try to make plain
to you. First, as to why we give particu-
lar expression to our thankfulneSs on
this particular day, there seems to be
great variety of reasons, mostly selfish.
TO illustrate, one man Or set of men
thinks it incumbent to express graft
tude for certain favOrs which have
been granted them, and which favOrs,
they themselves were instrumental in
bringing about, as for instance the
great political victory which has so
lately swept over our land. The republi-
cans of course are very grateful for their
success and it is right that they should
have day set aside for their use in
which they may give feeling utter
ance to their gratitude, and it
was very magnanimous act on the
part of democratic president to fix
day for their jubilees. That
was an original idea of the old darkey's
who after stealing the only turkey left
for thanksgiving dinner for his bess's
family, and being taxed with his want
of honesty and sympathy, replied
"Well! anyhow boss, youse ought to bt
tankful dat it's we uns down at d.

A short steamboat ride lands you in
Vevay; thence by carriage to Chillon,
immortalized by Byron in his poem,
"the Prisoner of Chillon.'' The castle
has yellow walls, painted towers and
the torture chamber is as picturesque
as ever; standing on, the bank OF the
lake, railroad passes in front OF the
castle, it being used for storage for
military supplies. In riding along the
highways small girls will throw punches
,of flowers in your carriage, and run
along the side for sou, as recompence.
One old man wanted me to hire him to
blow horn saying he could Waken the

thing immaginable and they bother you
to death. Mont Blanc 1871 feet above
sea level is next in Importance; should
you desire to climb it, it will cost 200
francs for guides, perhaps your life. A
few Americans have climbed this stu
pendous height; as was not looking
for fame I stayed at the bottom. Many
glorious rocks, and alpine rivers are to
be seen. At the hotel at the foot of
Mont Blanc, they only have one kind of
bread, and it being made twice year
it takes a hammer to break it even
after being soaked in goats milk. Over

WHEN I WAS A BOY.

Ithas always been an unsolved enigma
to me why it is there are so many ordi-
nary commonplacemen. Ifevery ma1's
youth as related by himself were to be
taken as precursor of the grown man,
congress would contain the larger part
of mankind and the penitentiary the
balance. have never heard or read of
man yet who in his youth was not
little more precocious in good or the
reverse than any other boy yet born.
Science teaches us that the human
system undergoes complete change
every seven years. 1 have often wished
while under punishment listening to
the smart" things some imbecile did
in his youth that science or some other
occult power would metamorphose the
villain into a musical Instrumentation

that you would take dose of cod-liver
oil you will laugh and convey the i'm
preston that you are intoxicated with
pleasure. But when full grown man
begins to relate what phenomenon he
was in childhood and you look at him and
realize what a monumental "chump'
he is now, you begin to think that
