But her heart was steAdfast and true, and
she would not give up the hope of seeing
him again 30 long as that uncertainty re-
manned. The father had long since be-
lieved that Guy was lost at sea, for the
ship on which he sailed had found
cred near the African coast, and it was
not known whether any of the passen-
gers were saved, thougl il was supposed
that all were lost, But Mrs. Willis could
not believe that her darling was sleeping
beneath the turbulent waters of the great
deep. 80 she waited and waited, and
hoped against hope, till now 80 many
weary years were numbered with that
sad past.
This evening she sat with the same
hope which she had cherished 80 long
Her thoughts were busy as she listened
to the mournful drip, drip, OF the rain
falling from the low caves 1t sounded
ominous, and sent a shudder Ia the
mothers heart, a. d she said, as she arose

TT was the eve before Thanksgiving, a
dull November evening with chilling
winds and rain. A dense fog shroud-
ed land and river and the mournful
sound of the fog horns with the gentle
tapping of the waves, were felt more sad
ly still, by the sad hearts of the inmates
OF the little cottage 30 near the waters
edge, on the outskirts of the beautiful
city of Louisville, sober now in its win
ter garb Of mist and smoke.
People rush here and there, as usual
intent on business or pleasure, but
Broadway is a sad reminder of a terrible
accident, where the five Legion boys
were 80 quickly hurled into Eternity.
Sad hearts were left behind 10 mourn
their loss; but the busy world moves on
with quick, majestic tread, leaving joys
and sorrows, alike, to cling around the
hearts of those with whom they come In
contact, not reckoning where they fall,
but scattering both with lavish and
mercless hand along its line of march.

THE HAPPIEST DAY.

WRITTEN by BERTHA LUE wATHEN
FAREWELL TO summer flowers
That made our hearts so glad,
Farewell the fields and meadows
In red and golden clad.
1t won't be long till
All the leaves will be
Beneath our feet and lay on piles
On top of piles in their long, long sleep
But Thanksgiving will soon be here
The happiest day in November
But by and by there's another day,
The twenty -fifth of December.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Il I'D you morning
. When the sun was shining clear
And the white frost shone and sparked
In the crisp November air;
Like we children at our play
For they know well do
When comes Thanksgiving Day?
What's Thanksgiving for? Don't you know?
Many, many years ago,
Way up north, in Massachusetts,,
In New England's cold and snow,
One severe and bitter winter
Famine through the land was spread,
And our hardy Pilgrim fathers
Often lacked for daily bread
But at last that winter ended,
Followed by balmy spring
Leshess trees began to blossom,
Happy birds began to sing,
Bounteous Summer poured her treasures
From out her lavish hand of gold
Cornfelds waved in yellow moonlight
With a promise of wealth untold
Then it was that Governor Bradford
Said in reverent, solemn way,
"For the blessings God has given
Let us have Thanksgiving Day."
All that day the looms silent
Rompng children ceased to play.
And since then each years return
Has brought glad Thanksgiving Day.

THANKSGIVING TURKEY.

WRITES ROBERTSON, eLENDEANEKYI
n thanksgiving Day is coming
And Obi how glad
To think the time will soon be here
When we'll have turkey ham.
And as think about it
Our mouths with water fill
AT thoughts of such a turkey
AS we ale going to kill.
No finer fowl is in the laud
No other struts proud,
No gobble half SO tuneful-ke,
Nor clear, nor long, nor loud
He never dreams that hungry mouths
Will swallow turkey meat
Like Cuban waters swallowed up
mighty Spanish fleet.
publish this that he may learn
That death is at hand,
And try to live so he will reach
A better turkey land
land where turkeys daily strut
Through fields of golden grain
Grasshoppers, bugs, and other food
AS thick as pattering rain
The twenty fourth Wen feast and i've
And try to happy be-
And hope that every turkeys soul
Is glad We'll set it Free

THANKSGIVING Day is dawning,

And hope some of its pleasures
Through all the year may stay.
