OUR NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

There are holidays and holidays.
Christmas and New Years are cosmc-
politan-are the property of no partic-
ular people, but yet are joyously OBJ
served by many. But Thanksgiving is
purely an American holiday, original
in conception and growing from small
beginning until it has reached the dig
nifty of national event Its first cell
ebration was by the Plymouth colony
in 1621-those sturdy pioneers whose
piety was as pronounced as their pluck,
who honored themselves by honoring
their Deity. The custom soon became
more general, spreading over all the
New England states. After the revo-
luton it gradually extended to the mid
die states and later to the west, grow
ing more slowly in the south. In 1863
the patriotic Lincoln forever estab-
lished it in the list of holidays by pro-
claiming a day of Thanksgiving, his
action being promptly followed by the
individual proclamations of the govern
ors of the states, who named the same
day. Since then, by common consent,
the first announcement of the day is
iouIt III
and the day so named is also named by
the states.
In many ways, says the American
Agriculturist, Thanksgiving is one OF
our most delightful events. 1t comes a
time when the rigors of winter are not
yet at hand. We have at our disposal
all the varied products of the soil, and
the time for season of partial rest for
the farmer is at hand. One of Its most
delightful features. which has become
quite general, is the gathering together
under the old rooftree of all the scat
tered sons and daughters on this day.
Two, three and sometimes four genera
tions thus meet around the festive and
hospitable table of the old homestead.
and thus fraternal ties are strengthened
and filial piety encouraged.
Another and not less commendable
feature of this holiday is practical
table. Poor people, to whom good din
ner is a rarity, are hunted out. and in an
unostentatious way are helped to prop.
erly observe the day, so far as it's festive
features ore concerned. The sick and
suffering are remembered in various
ways. The homeless are, for the day,
made members of some hospitablo
household, where they can join in its
pleasures. Altogether, this is perhaps
its best feature. There is no pleasure
so lasting, none which affords such real
joy, as that which comes to us from the
knowledge that we have done real
kindness to some of the suffering chill
dren of earth-in some way alleviated
their sorrows or eased their pains.
Last, but not least. the devotional
spirit which is the impelling motive of
the day, is encouraged and developed,
we learn to be more contcnted with our
lot thankful for what we have and
hopeful for the future,

1t was "a years ago, ON Thanks
giving day 1872, that dainty little
cards announced to the many friends
in society's world that unto Margaret
and Edward Stanhope daughter had
been born.
Into the softly lighted, luxurious
room where the mother lay, Edward
Stanhope walked gently. He sat down
beside the bed and held tenderry the
hand of the wife and mother
The white-capped, important-looking
nurse, obeying his gesture, brought
from it's lace and downy nest the tiny,
carefully-guarded pink and white NOR
tai and laid it down between them with
much careful patting and adjustment of
its dainty draperies.
Together the father and mother
gazed fondly at the child; the mother
with the expression that only mother
love and reverent thankfulness can
give to happy woman's face, while the
fathers manly countenance showed
wonder and paternal love just dawn
ing.
AS the husband rose to leave the room,
he kissed his wife tenderly saying:
"We have great cause for thankfulness

AS l read the name, Miss Margaret
Stanhope, Ida fumbled feebly for a
stump of lead pencil under her pillow,
and said:
''Jes put huh name, pointing to the
baby, down on de name kahd foh me.
Call huh 'Thanksgibin'-Ida.
The visitor wrote it and handed back
the card to Ida, who held it fast as she
closed the mothers eyes that had gazed
longingly at the little bundle by her
side, "uh studyin' an uh studyin',"
hoping and trusting till now she was
ready to Enter into His gates with
Thanksgiving"

on this day, and always. What
more welcome and precious gift could
have come to us than this? God grant
that she may be the cause of thankful
ness to many as the years go on"
And happy Margaret gently pressed
his hand as her eyes turned toward their
baby daughter with love and thankful
ness.
Twenty-four years later this precious
little Thanksgiving bundle had unfolded
and become to the social world Miss
Margaret Stanhope, lovely and Iowa
bic, helpful member of society.
The bell of the Maternity home
changed sharply a week after Thanks
giving day of 1895.
A trim matron, in blue seersucker
gown and neat, white apron, answered
the bell. The visitor, showing her Il
slip of newspaper and card, asked to
see Ida.
The nurse glanced inquringly at the
visitor and the kard and then read the
slip that said: Housewives who will
take women with infants for general
housework can be supplied by applying
to the Children's Aid society"
The matron said there was colored
woman there named Ida, and that she
could be seen.
The maternity ward was clean and
bare except for the long rows of iron
bedsteads. In these beds lay women
and girls. There were young slips OF
girls, young women, and middle-aged
faces liere and there. Faces lined and
scanned with trouble, poverty, hard
work and care. Sad faces, bad faces, bold

But the duslly face of Ida, with its
mournful eyes and patient mouth, was
not easily forgotten.
Her emaciated form lay immovable
upon the cot and tiny bundle, wrapped
in coarse flannel blanket. lay beside
her. When the blanket was pulled
aside, the contents proved to be small,
wriggling study in mahogany.
That it had been study to Ida, one
could see by the loving but troubled
glance she gave it,.
At first she was reticent and shy, but
after while the story came out. Ida

Then down he flew with a mighty flop,
His waffle redly flaming,
And he gobbled on with scarce stop
His lordly rank proclaiming;
But close at hand crept the human form,
Each moment drawing nearer,
And old Mr.. Gobbler grew quite warm
When he saw the creeper clearer.
'Obble-gobble! obble-gobble!
Cried the gobbler grand;
'Gobble-obble! gobble-obblev'
Finest in the land
Swish! wen: sharp and cleaning knife
Off went his head a-hying!
And the valiant bird gave up his life
To man martyr dying.
In state on the farmers board that day
Reposed good Mr.. Gobbler,
And all who feasted on him did say
There never was turkey nobler
'Gobble-gobble! obble-obblel"
Now no longer heard
'Obble-obble! gobble-gobblev'

Rastus complied. For moment there
was silence. Then came a terrific burst
of sound and the stove was torn into
fragments. Two lids and piece of pipe
flew through the window. An oven
door found egress through the side of
the shanty A portion of the top of the
stove, and "bilin' kettle" smote Rastus
to the floor, and Polly Ann found her
self on the bed with n stew pan on her

Behold the garnered treasures of the field!
All promises of April are fulfilled;
The earth exhausted with its bounteous
yield.
AS some brown Samson suddenly o'er-
willed,
Shorn of its flowing locks all nerveless
lies
! A helpless subject to the low'ring skies.
From distant fields come lowing herds of
To lie at ease beside the bursting rick,
Content to know with reason wond rous
fine,
If fast or slow the clock of Nature tick,
That shelter, food and drink in plenty
To cheer their stay within the farmyard
gate.
What though old Winter rouses in the
north,
Who fears him now that Plenty reigns
supreme?
The honest yeomen lead their children
forth
To mingle voices with the praiseful
stream,
The praysrful rushes and the chanting
w3od,
In grand thanksgiving to the God of
good.
Impatient Love, now weary tasks are done,
Trips all as lightly to the homely tune
As fairies sporting where the brooklets run
Through rose-trees noddng in the month
of June.
Hope long deferred a sweet fulfllment
finds,
AS grapes give answer to the bending
vines.
Not rural homes alone to-day are blest,
The mother welcomes everywhere her
child,
The wording stands a sinner self-con-
fessed
And Is again to virtue reconciled.
Thanksgiving for the spirit born of
Thee,
o man of God in blessed Galilee
From lowly vale and lofty mountain peak
Still prayer and praise and glad thanks
giving RISE
The strong grow thoughtful of the poor
and weak,
The dove of peace from cot to palace
flies,
While strange. sweet music wakened by
her wings
Thrills every heart till every creature
sings:
The Lord in His temple
Ne'er ceases forgiving,
Sing praise to Him, praise to Him,
Praise and Thanksgiving.

THE GONE GOBBLLR.

A Eobbler perched on a walnut limb
One chill Thanksgiving morning
Awoke the brood in the daylight dim
With gobbled notes of warning:
He craned his neck and he gaZed below
In nervous apprehension,
Where a human being crouching low
Attracted his attention.
"Gobble-obble, Gobble- -obble!"
In the morning still,
"Obble-gobble! obble-Gobble!"
Cried he. loud and shrill.

Business Evolution.

1T is fortunate if a business man has
the hereditary endowment of hones-

these are not of themselves suffi-

He must be open to the influence of

the spirit of progress, and quick to
adopt modern ways and means. The

A NOVELTY.

Wheeling has in the person of Archi-
tect Joseph Leiner somewhat Of a gen.
us, as ne has just invented 4 novel
folding table for the dining room.
Mr. Leiner being an architect ana
knowing that the drawings for rooms
of new houses are daily being made
smaller, found iJ advisable 10 study up
a scheme to establish more room for the
tenant. He was crowned with success
in dining room table, which, when en-
rering the room has the appearance Of
a glass cupboard, and occupies TWO fest
of the floor from the wall. A small
child can adjust the folding table by
pulling il down and opening it out
similar 10 a folding bed, without arous-
ing the suspicion OF a stranger or guest
After the meal is over the table can
be transformed into the cupboard form
without any trouble, thus saving much
trouble and q large space Of the floor Of
the dining room.
The new invention will in all pr0ba-
bility be patented. as well as several 9TH
er inventions of which Mr.. Leiner is the
author.
