THE THANKSGIVING LESSON.

TNHERE are many blessings in Disguise and what
appear gloomy in its every aspect sometimes IS
cloud with a silver lining Thanksgiving Day stormy
and Astounding in flakes, indeed of far more
worth had Thursday proved day of sunshine For the
colder and weather without the cheerer and brighter
were the homes Within heart indeed

and for the happy company and comforts that constitute his
joyous home
And falling snowflake was but another reminder to the
Of Cecil of his duty to his less happy and
needy whose Thanksgiving could be but hollow mock
ery The real life is like the Christmas
Dickens which always reieve and happy
there every why the lesson of Thanksgiving should
be of thanks but of charity In the works of ael
Zangwi there prer thought expressed than the

Mule Trade.

The St. Louis Live Stock Reporter says: With cotton selling around cents a pound it is hard for the mule market to maintain respectable basis. This is the principal drawback with trade just now. Southern dealers find it difficult to sell mules to the planters at anything like respectable prices because the latter are obtaining such small prices for their productions, and it makes the trade mean all along the line. The margin of profit is so small that it is extremely hard for the southern people to place mules down south at a profit, hard for dealers to purchase them in way that will realize satisfactory results and consequently hard for country buyers to purchase them from the farmers at figures that will admit of reasonable, if any, re- muneration for their effort.
 This may be discouraging to the farmer raising mule colts to sell at the price of calf, but 1t shows how the city markets have given up the mule for draft horses, and now only the southern market is left to the mule, and southern farmers are now buying mares to work and raise their own colts. St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville and many other large cities that formerly used mules now use draft horses to give more weight in the collar for heavier loads Chicago had big muleyards, but there has not been carload of mules at Chi cago for years.

 Glorious Consolation.
 Oh, ye whose locks arc wet with the dews of the night of grief; ye whose hearts are heavy, because those well known footsteps sound no more at the doorway, yonder is your rest There is David triumphant, but once he bemoan- ed Absalom. There is Abraham en- throned, but once he wept for Sarah. There is Paul exultant, but he once sat with his feet in the stocks. There is Payson radiant with immortal health, but on earth he was always sick. No toll, no tears, no partings, no strife, no agonizing cough, no night. No storm to ruffle the crystal sea. No alarm to strike from the cathedral towers. No dirge throbbing from seraphic harps. No tremor ill tho everlasting song, but rest-perfect rest-unending rest.
 Into that rest how many loved ones have gone Some put down the work of midlife, feeling they could hardly be spared from the store or shop for day, but are to be spared from it forever. Some went ill old age. One came totter- ing on his staff and used to sit at the foot of the pulpit, his wrinkled face radiant with the light that falls from the throne of God Another having liv ed life of Christian consistency here, ever busy with kindnesses for her chil- dren, her heart full of that meek and quiet spirit that is in the sight of God of great price, suddenly her countenance was transfgured and the gate was opened, and she took her place amid that great cloud of witnesses that hover about the throuel
 Glorious consolation! They are not dead. You cannot make me believe they arc dead. They have only moved on. With more love than that with which they greeted us on earth they watch us from their high place, and their voices cheer us ill our struggle for the sky. Hail, spirits blessed, now that ye have passed the flood and won the crown. With weary feet we press up the shining way until in everlasting reunion we shall meet again. Oh, won't it be grand when,' our conflicts done and our part lD3S ONSl3 WC SLitlll Cleiop hdIuo anu C1J out, "This is heaven?"
