Thanksgiving In New England.

Much time and attention are bestowed
by the housewife on the Thanksgiving
dinner In New England the feasting
does not begin and end with the day, as it
does in tho middle and western states
There great bakings take place many days
before the time set for Thanksgiving, and
the broad shelves of the pantry are covered
with mince, cranberry, pumpkin and
ounce pies Cranberry sauce and stewed
barberries fill molds and bowls. Loaves
of soft, fragrant gingerbread are stored
away until one week before the time,
when ounce pie finds its way to the
breakfast table, flanked by plate of sug-
ared doughnuts. At one meal of the day
there will be Thanksgiving dainty until
the grand aggregation on the day itself,
but it is only an appetizer--no danger Of
spelling the final effect.-Exchange

THO LIDDIES.

Two of us stood in that hal!owed place
/, with my Tniddlc-aged sober air,
And little street arab, whose treckled face
Was fixed ON the ladde pictured there
A beautiful child of IL royal race,
Arrayed in satin ard iewt Is rare,
With priceless trimmings Of delicate lace.
And Il plumcd char eau On his flowing hair
~ wonder" lie said, III that chap knows
How IL fellow feels who has little to eat,
With 4 pile o. rags for his bcstest clothes,
An his home Il corner On Baxter street!
III bet yer he sits on an itligant throne,
An he takes his males trum Il golden plate;
My velvet sofys u cold curbstone,
An whacll on the hc;G r Shape too late
But |, with my knowledge of veal and woe,
With the dreary lesson that Lille will give
To those who watch the days us they go
And study the life that men must live
l looked ut the lad VITA his merry smile,
And the freckled cheek so round and red,
Then back to the pictures mourncul eyes,
And the sorrowful druop OF that childish
head.
And thought perhaps were the stories known
OF the pictured child and the ragged boy,
The one might be reaG in Il minor tone
The other would end in peace and joy,
Each child is held in Fathers care,
And their angels wait about his throne;
Each must his burden of sorrow bear,
And ali the good gifts are not for one.

In 1858, according to Palfrcy, There
was great scarcity of corn, yet people lived
well with fish and the fruit of their gar
dens," and yet these supplies, insufficient
for comfort were deemed enough to be
thankful for, and in the proclamation of
Governor Winthrop calling for "a day of
public thanksgiving through the several
plantations" he refers to the many and
extraordinary mercies which the Lord has
been pleased to vouchsafe of late to this
plantation-namely, a plentiful harvest,
ships lately arrived with persons of special
use and quality, etc. st Louis Post

The whole Army Gave Thanks.

After the great victory obtained by the
English at the battle of Agincourt, 14I5,
the renowned Prince Henry V ordered the
One Hundred and Fourteenth and One
Hundred and Fifteenth Psalms to DO sung
on the battlefield by way of acknowledge
ment that all success and all blessing come
down from the Father of Light, after
which the whole army fell upon knees and
shouted with one heart Zone voicc), Not
unto us, o Lord, not unto us, but to thy
name give we the glory, for thy mercy
and for thy truths sake.
When Henry returned t. England, Nov
G, he commanded that 20 ballad or song
should be composed or sung except one in
Thanksgiving for their glorious victory

In everything by prayer and duplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known unto God. And the peace Of
God which passeth all understanding
shall guard your hearts and your thoughts
in Christ Jesus. iv, 6.
And he that supplieth seed to the sower
and bread for food shall supply and null
tiply yotr seed for sowing and increase
the fruits OF your righteousness; We being
enriched in everything unto all libcrality
which worketh through us thanksgiving
to God.-II Corinthians tx, 10, II.
exhort therefore first of all that sup
plications, prayers, intercessions, thanks
givings be made for all men; for kings and
all that are in high place; that we may
lead tranquil and quiet life in all godli-
ness and gravity. This is good and accept
able in the sight of God, our Saviour.

In 1862 the magistrates ut Plymouth, dc
string 10 show loyalty to England on the
close OF the war in England by the battle
of Somerset, placed themselves on record
thus: The court desired that IA public day
Of thanksgiving throughout the colonies
Iuight be observed therein to give thanks
for the great victories granted to the army
in the behalf of the parliament and the
commonwealth of England"
In the Plymouth colony Thanksgiving
days were appointed fer 1861, 1868 and
1850 and in the Massachusetts Bay colony
in 1888, 1854, 1857, 1888 and 1859. In New
York the Dutch governors proclaimed
Thanksgiving days in 1911, 1915, 1868 and
1864 and the English governors followed
this precedent in 1850 and 1875. Ex-

coed Living of the Pioneers.

The living of the colonial pioneers was
by no means devoid of luxuries Turkeys
of the wild variety, which, we are told,
often weighed rs much as 80 pounds, and
wild geese rs fat rs butter, with nearly 200
different sorts of fish, including CLAIMS,
oysters and other shellfish, gave them an
excellent market at their own doors. And
of venison they had surfeit. The Indians
taught them their rude science of cookery
by inducing them into the mysteries of
the clambake and the toothsome succotash,
blessings of the larder which they be-
queathed to their posterity.

for such a fellow! But still l don't like
my turkey stuffed. I like - pound an
imal with lots of fat on him and butter
spread all over him. 1 want him roasted
brown. l think it is 20 minutes to q
pound of turkey, not counting the first few
minutes while he is getting used to the
oven. But l don't want anything inside
of him. A spiced stuf1fng ruins the flavor
of the meat and gives indigestion.
How do like him served? Oh, l like
him with string of sausages over his
breast as q flavoring and with lemon
for head. That is good way to serve
turkey. You can boil the lemon awhile
and make it soft, to be sliced and eaten
like pickle if you want to. My turkey
is an Ohio bird. L forgot to mention that.
Have you ever eaten an Ohio turkey? No?

Indian Thanksgiving.

1t is but fitting that in the evolution of
this truly national holiday the original &C.
cupiers of the soil should have their part
1t was about this time each year that the
American Indian was wont to build great
fires in the woods and roast the flesh of the
deer and bear and boil the corn and stew
the pumpkin and make the welkin ring
with the noise of his feasting, singing and
dancing before the long winter closed

to thanking anybody for anything. Sir
Edmund Andres, the imperioUs governor
of New England in the rcigns OF Charles

for their stubbornncss. Several times he
ordered them to appear to be thankful on

Our Annual Thanksgiving.

From 1899 onward the governors of the
colony ana state of Massachusetts have an
nually proclaimed a general holiday in the
fall of the year The dominant spirit of
New England was felt in Revolutionary
times so much that an annual Thanksgiv-
ing day was observed by the continental
army. Even the placid Dutchmen of tho
state of New York fell into line and since
1877 have had their Thanksgiving day.

Thank Him.

For pasture lands folded with beauty,
For plenty that burdened the vale,
For the wealth of the tecming abundance
And the promise too royal to fail,
We lit to the Maker our anthems,
But none the less cheerily come
To thank him for bloom and fruition
And the happiness crowning the home.
