ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING.


The dntc of the first observance OF
this distinctivciy American institution
has been N matter OF some dispute. A
writer in an exchange has been to
sohc trouble To- ascertain the facts and
states them as follows:
The first observance OF "A day OF
Thanksgiving, formally recommended
by the civil authorities. occurred in
Lcydcn. Holland. October 3. 1879. IL
being the first anniversary of the de-
livcrancc OF that city from siege.
I'm July lO23, day OF fasting aud
prayer was appointed on account OF
drought. Rain came abundnntly while
they were praying, and the governor
appointed n day OF THANKSGIVING which
was observed with religious exercises
The ChnrloStown records show n sim
ilar change of fast day into Thanks
giving I'm 1871, ON account of the ar.
rival OF supplies from ireland.
Or. Franklin tells us that In n time
of great deSpondcncy among the set.
tiers OF New England IL was proposed
In one of their public meetings TO pro-
claim fast. Am aged farmer rose aud
spoke of their provoking heaven with
their complaints, and of the cause
they had for Thanksgiving. lie then
made motion that instead Of appoint
Ing a day of fnsting, they should ap-
point day OF thanksgiving. Tho
assembly READILY agreed
Mnssnchusettcs Bay was the first OF
the colonies to appoint an annual
Thanksgiving 10y the proclamation of
the English governor During the rcvo-
luton Thanksgiving day wasn national
Institution, being annually rccom-
mcnded 10y congress, but after the gen.
cral Thanksgiving for peace in 1884
there was no national appointment un-
I'll 1850. when Washington, by request
of congress, recommended a day OF
Thanksgiving for the adoption OF the
constitution. Washington issued "A sec
ond proclamation OF THANKSGIVING I'm
lO6 on account OF the suppression OF
insurrcction. President Madison, by
the request OF congress. recommended
u Thanksgiving for peace in 1873 But
the official recommendation of n dny
for the giving of thanks was mainly
confined TO New England until tho
year 1917, after which date H. was regu-
larly appointed by tho governor OF
New York In 1865 Gov. johnson, of
Virginia, recommended day OF
thnnksgiving; but In 1857 Gov Wise.
when requested To do so, publicly de-
clined, ON the ground that he was not
authorized TO interfere in religious
matters. During the civil wnr, in 1868
and 1864 President Lincoln issued
proclamntions recommending annual
ThanltsgivinRs Siuce then procla-
nation has been issued annually by tho
president MS well ns by the governors
OF the states and the mayors OF tho

In the mad whirl OF business or work
or pleasure, and think OF the blessings
which have crowned the year, and lift,
up our hearts In special Thanksgiving.

THE EDITORS THANKSGIVING

Clarion, one Thanksgiving day.

Clarion Office was like the bore that i'm

and gubhcd and blabbcd and spnt and
blew where he listed. L JON this oc-
casion he was engaged In the nrluous
task Of ovcrhauling the editors barrel
of exchanges. Whatever II was that
hc wanted To find, IL was always ut tho
bottom of the barrel. When he dug
down in the barrel and turned the bot
tom part of it, contents up to the top,
the particular periodical that he
ycnrncd for was still at the bottom.
Meanwhile. the editor. grown callous

Things had gone from bad To worse
Till now he was down To zero in

wife OF his bosom had eloped with u
man who owed him eighteen dollars,

red-headcd children ON his hands.

Again the train stopped, and Mrs

The manna that falls in the desert,
The airy, dusty desert OF strife.
Is swcctcr than fruit 20 whose growing
We've given the years OF our life
The JOY Is ia buildng the temple.
The substance IS less than the dream,
And tho song that We sing but tho echo
OF the perfect one heard Ia the stream.
In vain through the volumes OF wisdom
We scci; for the blissful and 10,
The soft li-pins accents os childhood
Set all Of Gods Kingdom aRlow
Youth, manhood. seek ever the jewel
or freedom with hopc-kindlcd eyes,
Age finds IL 10 luu IN 20 g. lustcr
And resign IL, "a CCmfortlCSs prize
The bud thnt escapes ua when searching
The bush for It's promises sweet
Goes STRAIGHT To the heart with its blooming,
And the instant IS all but complete.
Those things That are won by pursuing
But add to the sum OK our cares:
We thank Thee O Father of Mcrcv
For tho blessings that come unawarcs
