Manners easily and rapidly mature
into morals. As childhood advances to
manhood, the transition from bad man
ners-tO bad morals is almost impercep-
tibIe. Vulgar and obscene objects be
fore the mind, engender impure i'm
ages IN the Imagination and make IN
lawful desires prurient. From the pre-
valent state Of the mind, actions pro
eesd as water rises from a fountain.
Hence, what was originally a word or
praise becomes a thought, is meretri-
ciousIy embellished by the imagination,
| is imf1amed into vicious desire, g Iins
strength and holiness by always being
welcome. until at last, under some
urgent temptation, it dares foro TO
put on the visible form Of action; it is
then ventured upon again and again,
more frequently and less warily, until
repetition forces the chain Of habit;
and then language, imagination, desire
and habit bind their victim to the
prisonhouse Of sin. In this way profsne
Language wears away the reverence for
things sacred and holy; and a child
who has been allowed to follow, and
mock and hoot at an Incorporate man
in the streets is far more likely to be
come intemperate himself than if he
has been accustomed to regard him
with pity, as a fallen brother, and with
sacred adherence, as one self -brutified
OF demonized. So, on the other hand,
purity and chasteness Of language tend
to preserve purity and chasteness Of
thought and Of taste; they repel licen-
tious imaginings; they delight in the

The New York World says that ROch-
ester was the first city in New York
and undoubtedly the first city Of its
size in the country to make known the
results Of its election, the total vote
Of 1900 having been fully counted
within an hour after the closing Of
the polls.
This was the work Of the new voting
machine. The seventy-three machines
in use IN the seventy-three election
districts Of Rochester appear to have
worked without hitch, to have faciIi-
tated the casting Of the vote and to
have made it impossible that there
should be any error in the counting.
If the voting machine in Rochester
has done what is claimed for it, it will
obtain a wider recognition.

THAHKsGTVTEG DAY.

Peculiar to the American states and
American nation, Thanksgiving day,
not only is widely observed, but it has
a significance that is closely inter
woven with our history. It's origin
reaches back to colonial days. 1t anti
dates the declaration Of independence
by q century and a half, and has been
observed nearly twice that length Of
time By a free, brave and grateful
people.
Colonization Of new countries is
usually accomplished by hardy lovers
Of adventure, By brave knights seeking
military renOwn or by those in quest Of
gold and the spoiIs Of conquest. But
the settlement Of the New England
colonies was an exception TO the rule.
No less hardy, no less brave than other
colonists, being expatriated because Of
civil and religious tyranny they sought
a new field for the establishment Of a
commonwealth where they might enjoy
both civil and religious liberty. The
season was unfavorable, the shore was
inhospitabIe. 1t was winter and
savage WiIdness.
THE breaking waves dashed high
On a stern and rock-bOund coast,
And the woods against a stormy sky,
Their giant branches tOst."
But
Amid the storm they sank,
And the sky heard and the sea,
While echoing glades and forests rang
With the anthem OF the free.
Not as the cOnqUering- come
They the true hearted came,
Not with the roll Of fifs and drum
And the trump that sounds Of fame.
"Forsaking friends and home,
Expelled from native sod
They sought, while unknown seas they roam.
Freedom to worship God"
The hardships, suferings and hero
ism Of the Puritans, during the first
winter, is a familiar page in history.
Then bOuntifuI harvest followed and
a thanksgiving day. This, in brief, is
the origin Of what has become a great
national day of thanksgiving.
When We look backward, through
the vista of receding years, what have
We not to be thankful for as a nation?
What Unpreced ented victories, what
absence of defeat what benisons of
providence, what sanctification Of sor-
rows, what chastisements Of love, what
GROWING with achievements, what
greatness and great menI sGod hath
not dealt so with any nation"
What then have we not to be thank
full for as a people? Plenty and in
store, peace within our borders, victory
in war for humanity, triumphant in
the right Youngest Of all, yet leading
the van of nations in the forward
march Of prOgress-iberty enlighten-
ing the world.
Individually, each conscious self,
when reviewing a stadia Of their earthly
pilgrimage, when retiring within the
halls Of memory and viewing reTerently
the pictured scenes Of Gods dealings
with them-though regretting their
own follies and foibles-wiI note un-
numbered, Unappreciated and untold
blessings; and if possessing a spirit
harmonious with the s'nobIesse obIige," "
viii feel the thrOb Of soul harmony
and join the symphony Of the STE
Damn Taudamus
