The Childless Thanksgiving.

When empty rooms of old birthplaces
Echo with the mirth they miss,
And generations OF glad faces ."
Smile greeting in Thanksgiving bliss,
What charm shall plundered love enable
To feast where children come no more?
Can memory set the household table,
And solitude keep open door?
Transported remnants, shadows only
Leaves of lost bloom untmely shed,
To parents in their age left lonely
Answer their welcomes to their dead.
In vain the wishful dream, repeating
The forms that filled each wonted chair,
When the still ache, the dull art-beating,
Insists their darings are not there
They hunger with want incessant
For sweets that are no longer food;
The wormwood of their past and present
Transfuses every lingering good.
Alone the comfort of tomorrow
Maintains them thro' their childless years,
Patient to break their bread of sorrow
And daily drink their cup of tears
o Faith and Hope, light every dwelling
Where fond hearts wait bereaved and old
Give sight, too clear for human telling,
That promised morrow to behold
For them the last supreme Thanksgiving
OF love can make no long delay,
When Death himself shall render, living,
The cherished ones he stole away.

he hung on 10 the line. ''It's my first

The edict has gone forth that the large

well-accepted fact that large hats are
only for street wear. Worn with walking
costumes, they are very appropriate, and
if becoming, exceedingly so. A great
many plumes are used in trimming them.
All black hats of this description are very
much in favor, sometimes made entirely
OF velvet; sometimes the crown of velvet
with brlm either of plain or braided
silk, or even with shirred brim of heavy
satin; and while all black feathers are
considered smart, other different colors,
and even white, are very much used. All
gray hats are favoriteS this season, and
one OF shaded velvet made with quite
low crown is trimmed with two long
plumes, most gracefully arranged, one
falling over the brim almost down to the
shoulder. With the hair arranged Pompa-

are put on slightly to one side, and some

Or go into an 'orspital to nurse a cranky leg;
