OUR NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

w MA EtOLIOAr.
There are holidays and holidays.
Christmas and New Year are
cosmopolitan are the property of
no particular people, but yet are
joyously observed by many. But
Thanksgiving is lurly an Ameri-
can holiday, original in conception
and growing from small beginning
until ii has reached the dignity of a
national event. Its first celebra-
tion was by the Plymouth colony
in 1621-those sturdy pioneers
whose piety was rs pronounced as
their pluck, who honorned them.
selves by honoring their Deity.
The custom soon became more gen.
eral, spreading over all the New
England states. After the revolu-
ton it gradually extended to the
Middle states and later to the west,
growing more slowly in the South
In 1868 the patriotic Lincoln
forever established it in the list of
holidays by proclaiming day of
Thanksgiving, his action being
promptly followed by the individ-
ual proclamation of the governors
of the states, who named the same
day. Since then by common con-
sent, the first announcement of the
day is found in the presidents
proclamation, and the date so
namedisalso named by the states.
In many ways, says the Ameri-
can Agriculturist, Thanksgiving is
one of our most delightful events.
1t comes at 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 a season of partial rest for the
Farmer is at hand. One of its
most delightful features, which has
become quite general, is the getting
together under the old rooftree of
all the scattered sons and daugh-
tiers on this day. Two, three and
sometimes four generations thus
meet around the festive and hos
pitable table of the old homestead,
and thus fraternal ties are strength.
ened and filial piety encouraged.
Another and not less commenda-
BILE feature of this holiday is a
practical benevolence which has
become very notable. Poor people,
to- whom good dinner is rarity,
are hunted out and in an unosten-
tatlous way are helped to properly
observe the day, so far as its festive
featurers are concerned. The sick
and suffering are remembered in
various ways. The homeless, for
the day, made members of some
hospitable household, where hey
can join in its pleasures. Altogeth-
or, 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 10 some of the suffering
children of earth-in some way
allevated their sorrows.
Last, but not least, the devotional
spirit which is the impelling mo-
tive Of the day, encouraged and
developed, we learn to be contented
with our let, thankful for what we
have and hopeful for the future.
