The Eucharist.
down an.

Probably on no day in the year are
so many union services held by differ
ent denominations as on Thanksgiving
Day. And, even when churches wor-
ship apart, the spirit of the day binds
them into unison. So in the home.
1t is the harvest on the hills gathered
together, which is at once the symbol
and the cause of these delightful and
affectionato reunions, which enliven,
enrich and sanctify the home. Is it
not the vitality of the sentiment which
has kept the word "eucharist" alive
through SO many centuries on its ma
tive soil, and gives it fresh birth in
other languages? And is it not the
vitality of the sentiment of gratitude
which shall make our own National
eucharist, not only the recognition of
blessing, but new Joy and blessing
in itself?

THANKSGIVING MEMORIES.
To Many Households tho Day Brings
Sad iRecollections.

To Many Households tho Day Brings
Sad iRecollections.
1T should not be forgotten that
Thanksgiving Day, because it Is
homo festival, comes to many people,
to many households, in very bitter
sweet way, awakening slumbering sor.
rows and reviving the pain of great
bereavements. If the reader will but
turn to the thirtieth strophe of Ten
nyson's in Memoriam' and read the
verses beginning:
Withtrembling fingers did we weave
The holly round the Christmas hearth,
he will find there the most perfect il
lustration Of my meaning. The house
hold gathers for the wonted cclebra-
ion of Christmas Eve with an awful
sense
or one mute shadow watching all.
Now they are silent, now thoy essay to
sing an old song, and then comes 81.
lence again and tears. 1t must be
read, for no description snfices. So
Thanksgiving comes to many house
holds in deep atlliction, as remarking
and emphasizing their losses. What
then?
"When the late DR.. Dutton, of New
Haven, was called to mourn the loss of
his beloved wife, DIR. Bushnell wrote
him letter of coincidence, the last
sentence of which reads as follows:
Soften your griefs with much thanks
giving. Just ponder that sentence q
little. Outside the Bible I have no.
where found bit of counsel more
wise and precious than that for those
in affliction. Nor have I ever known
it to fail of comfort when presented
to sorrowing souls. Think upon your
mercies. Forget not all His benefits.
Recall and mediate on your manifold
occasions OF thanksgi, ing to God and
mix them into your cup of sorrow.
Thanksgiving mingled with afflictlon
is the more than magic branch that
sweetens the bitter waters of Marah. "

Small Belongings of Dress.

Corsets may be put down at $3.50.
Persons of stout figure should, if pos
Eible, treble this amount and buy the
Cored corset that makes a full figure
appear trim as well as comfortable.
A bath or lounging robe of eider-down
flannel need not cost much, as the ma
terial may frequently be bought for
20 cents yard. Finish the garment
with fcather-stitched hens, using flax
threads and a worsted cord; one of these
robes requires eight yards of material.
A dressing sacque of striped pink. red
or blue aannelette will only cost $3.50.

strings from the sides of the waist-linc
to tie in front. Six pairs of black hose
will certainly cost two dollars; pair of
walking shoes, four; house ties, two.
and rubbers, SO cents. Two pairs of kid
gloves will be required. Icannot advise
sny person to buy gloves costing less
than $1.25 pair; for so cents more far
better ones may be procured. Six hand
kerchiefs will cost $3.50. An umbrella
OF two dollars, and waterproof at
three, should be added to the really
necessary articles before the gowns are
reached. Once having good supply of
the small belongings of dress the owner
will be in good trim.--Ladies' Home
