The snow upon the hillside lay,
And matched the cottage roof.
The web of vines by the Pilgrim's door
Was filled with icy wool.
The boughs were leafless on the trees.
Across the barren plain
The north wind swept despairingly
And moaned like one in pain.
ut whimpered like some hungry child
That clasps its parents hand
And pleads for bread when there Is none
In all the dreary land.)
Above the little Plymouth town,
Circling with empty nav.
Mocking their hunger, flew the crow,
Shrieking his "haw, haw. haw."
Patience, blue-eyed maiden,
(ier eyes with tears were dim,)
From hunger feeble, trembling knelt
And raised her voice to Him.
Dear Dod." she said in pleading tones
Tender, plaintive and sweet.
ives almost 'tarved, an won't 90 pleays
Send down some fings to eat?"
Then all day long her watchful eyes
Gazed down the village street,
Not doubting but she soon would see
Some one with "fings to eat"
With wild fowl laden down.
Four hunters from the forest drear
Came marching into town.
And Gas in answer to the prayer,
To add to all the cheer, ~,
And Danish famine from the place.
Came Indians with deer.
The joyous villagers rushed out
The ladened ones to meet
But Patience knelt and said: Tanks. bod,
Arthur J. Burdick.

and then just touch of roguish finn
to relieve its softness. Then he re-
called how she had looked up at him.
and how softly she had spoken his
name, "Mr. Harris" just as that farm
er-fellow came along to distract her
attention and bring the bright color
into her cheeks, and, by Jove! he had
come away and never told her that his
name was not Harris at all, but Ayl-
mer-Richard Aylmer, commonly
known as "Dick," not only in his regi-
ment. but in every place where he was
known at all. Now how, his thoughts
ran, could the little woman have got
hold of an idea that his name was
Harris? Dick Harris! Well. to be
sure, it didn't sound bad, but then it
did not suit him. Dick Aylmer he was
and Dick Aylmer he would be to the
end of the chapter except-except. an,
well, we'll, that was a contingency he
need not trouble himself about at pres
ent. 1t was but contingency and a
remote one, and he could let it take
care of itself until the time came for
him to fairly look it in the face, when
probably matters would conveniently
and comfortably arrange themselves.
And then he fell to thinking about
her again, and what pretty name
hers was Dorothy Strobe! Such a
pretty name, only Dorothy Aylmer
would look even prettier-Mrs. Richard
Aylmer the prettiest Of them all, ex-
cept, perhaps, to hear his men friends
calling her MRS. Dick"
And then he pulled himEelf up with
laugh to think how fast his thoughts
had been running on-why, he had ac-

an hour and halls acquaintance and

THANKSGIVING!

To the popular mind the word
THANKSGIVING" stands for q day ,ot
testivity. But they who lose its sub
Iective meaning in mere creature en-
Ioyment suffer 4 misfortune and miss
IN opportunity. -, - ],
To our fathers. Thanksgiving was q
sacrament. It was one OF their acts
Of religion to set apart for it an an
nual day. Heaven had blessed their
harvests, and they wished to express
in special way appreciation Of its
favors.
Nothing In their example was more
sane and sensible than the creation Of
this November family custom, now be-
come national. There have been
changes Of our social life since the
old time. These have made it less easy
to observe the day so generally with
public rites Of worship, but the ordi-
nance holds its place with pleasing 1T
ness, and with ample reason.
We have thousandfold more to be
devoutly glad for than our fathers
had; and the feeling and the faith
they carried with them to the solemn
assembly" We can radiate in brighter
homes and wider activities Of kind
ness.
The unfolding Christian age has
given us the larger thought of the
meaning and mission of freedom and
of civilization; the grander type and
idea Of benevolence; the tenderer be-
liefs that sweeten life and death with
hope. For all these let us thank God.
Gratitude is not only "a natural
function of the healthy soul'; it is
its wealth. Invest it. Its interest will
enrich the character, and uplift the
whole lie.

HERMIT IN A BIG CITY.
Why an Old Lady Has Shut Herself on
from tina World.

Why an Old Lady Has Shut Herself on
from tina World.
Various, indeed, are the ways in
which eccentric people indulge their
little peculiarities,' but a decidedly
original manner has been adopted by
an old lady living here, says a Paris
letter to the London Telegraph. On
one of the grand boulevards stands
house with closed shutters and fasten-
ed door. Scarcely a sign ct life is there
about the place and the house has re-
NAMED in similar state over a quar<
ter of century.
The owner is an old lady, who, on
Sept. 4, 1870, the day on which the re-
public was proclaimed, resolutely deter
mined that no one affected by republic
an ideas should ever cross the threshold
of her dwelling. To avoid any such
contingency she simply declined
to allow any one inside and has refused
all offers to hire either apartments or
the shop below. The only time she
breaks through her hard and fast rule
is when workmen are permitted to en-
ter in order to carry out repairs.
Painters, carpenters, locksmiths and
masons once year in turn invade her
privacy and make good any damage.
To relatives whose political tendencies
are the same as her own she is partic-
ularly gracious, but at the death Of
each one an apartment in the building
is sealed up and now all are closed
barring the very small one at the back
OF the house, which the anti-republic-
an hermit reserves for her own use and
that of her three servants. This
strange behavior. ON the part of an old
lady has repeatedly excited comment
and numerous have been the attempts
OF people to gain an entrance by some
ruse OF other. All their efforts are

Lady Jane frowned little, being

mer seemed very attentive to her, and

idly Coming to the Front.
For several years, Eucalyptol,
Guaiacol and HydraStin have been
recognized as standard remedies
dor catarrhal troubles but they
have always been given separately,
and only very recently an inge-
nious chemist succeeded in COM
bining them, together with other
~antiseptics, into a pleasant, enec-
tive tablet.
Druggists sell the remedy under
the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets. and it has met with remark
able success in the IRE of nasal ca
tarrh, bronchial and throat catarrh
and in canarrh of the stomach.
Mr.. F. n. Benton, whose address
is care of Clark House, Troy, N.
T., says: When / run up against
anything that is good | like to tell
people of it. / have been troubled
with catarrh more or less for some
time. Last winter more than ever.
Tried several so-called cures, but
did not get any benefit from them.
About six weeks ago ! bought a 90
cent box OF Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
and | am glad to say that they have
done wonders for me, and | do not
hesitate to let all my friends know
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
the right thing"
Mr.. Geo. ]. Casanova, of Hotel
Griffon, West Ninth street, New
York City, writes: / have COM
menced using Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, and already they have given
me better results than any catarrh
ure | have ever tried.
A leading physician of P~ittsburg
advises the use of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets in preference to any other
treatment for catarrh of the head,
throat or stomach.
He claims that they are far u
perior to inhalers, salves, lotions
OF powders, and are much more
convenient and pleasant TO take.
and are so harmless that little
children take them with benefit,
as they contain no opiate, cocaine
or any poisonous drug.
All druggists sell Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets at so cents for full
sized package, and they are prob
ably the safest and most reliable
cure for any form of catarrh.
