Rird War.

Thirty years ago, when Fort Knox.
Me-, was abandoned by the soldiers for
merly stationed there, about a dozen
Rodman cannon and several piles of
empty Columbiad shells were left be-
hind. Birds then took possession, rob-
ms building their nests in the mouths
of the cannon, and bluebirds raising
their broods inside the shells. Last
year English sparrows invaded the
neighborhood, and during the past sum
mer the invaders crossed the Penobscot
river and began war upon the feath-
cred garrison in the old fort. The ball
opened in April, and within two weeks
the sparrows had driven the bluebirds
from their homes in the shells. But
according to the latest advices, the rob
ms still hold possession of the cannon.

THANKSGIVING MEMORIES.
The Blessed Annual Family Reunion
Dav.


Day.
How dear to US all they are-Thanks-
giving memories, the Thanksgiving
DAYS in the dear old home when we
were all together. No other day in the
whole year is such a family day as the
annual Thanksgiving. Blessed indeed
are those who can still go home to the
old homestead and gather around the
table where father and mother glorify
it with their loving presence. But
there are very few old homesteads now;
we have become a migratory people,
The majority of US do not stay long
enough in place to have those hal
lowed associations about it that the
dear ones of long ago did. To many
| of the present generation Thanksgiv-
ing has lost much of it's significance
just because we have become so mi
gratory. But do let US preserve it in its
full import if we possibly can this year
Let every one of US try to keep up the
oId-time sanctity of the day set apart
for special thanks to God for all our
mercies, and for the gathering together
around the table of the dear ones.
Some of the dear ones have gone out
from our homes since last Thanksgiv-
ing, and we think of the vacant places
with heart-heaviness. Some little chill
dren who loved US and made our homes
bright with sunshine have gone from
our arms to the loving arms of the
blessed Jesus who cares for them and
blesses them continually. Their tiny
life torches filled our home with light
that does not go out, but fills our lives
with sweet remembrances, and bids us
minister with sweeter ministries than
ever before to the little ones of earth
who need our love and care.
Then there are others who glorifed
the home loves and the home ties for
many, many years who have gone to the
Father.
AS Lucy Larcom beautifully says:
eve feel that much of our life has gone
with these dear ones. Gone? No,
translated, lifted up with them to their
new estate"
1t is the love of the ALLOWING One
that brings US closest together in fam
lily ties. We cannot love each other too
much, and we are still Joined to the
dear ones who are gone, and the light of
their new light enters into ours. In
thanking God for the many blessings
He has given us this year, let us stretch
our well-filled hands to the needy.
When we gather around our table to eat
our Thanksgiving dinner let us have the
satisfaction of knowing that because
of our thoughtfulness and considera-
ton others are having a good dinner
who without our help would have
missed the sustaining powers of a real
Thanksgiving.-N. Y. Evangelist.

borrowed Ammunition.

It has been said by certain of the
gold-standard school that silver has
driven out Mexico's gold. That is the
perversion of an argument long useI
by friends of the white metal. Gold
has driven out the silver of the United
States, England. France and other coun-
tries. Bimetallism, if adopted by one
or more of the really great powers like
the United States or France, would
keep both metals in the country in the
proper proportion.

The result in Ohio is rebuke to the

There has been tremendous falling of

The consensus of opinion was that
the nugget was beauty indeed.

The treasures of the harvest time
Are heaped il goodly store;
Earth lays her tribute at our Ieet
In righteousness once more
The hearth is swept. the board is spread
For friends from far and near,
And loving hearts are hasting homes
Perhaps in many q year.
Oh, tits the true Thanksgiving time
When round the old hearthstone
We greet the loved of other days.
And clasp hands with our own!

Does the light when the morning uncloses
Count the leagues of its flight TO the PLAIN
Does the sky call the roll of the roses
That hold up their lips Tor It's ralnF
God IS never at loss with His plenty,
And Nature His handmade, no more
Ripens sweets for the feast of the dainty
Than bread for the fare of the poor
IT'S a loan with no burden thereafter,
IT'S z grace never measured nor weighed:
If the banquet turns weeping to laughter
The debt OF the eater is paid.
o Goodness so grand in its doingi
Are there gluttons who starve at its
board;
Craven souls, whose Unsuitable suing
Has poisoned the comforts they hoard,
Who, insane with the joy Of receiving
Are glad for no sake but their own,
Who are deaf to the song OF thanksgiving
And tongueless to utter its tone?
Give us want, give US nothingness rather
Than this; better never be born
Than to harvest the fields of our Father
And leave Him unthanked for the corn.
The just will pay measure for measure
And the selfish give love for fee:
But they squander an infinite treasure
Who sin against love that IS free
