A THANKSGIVING FABLE.
Turkey and Eagle Discuss the Ma

merry young turkey was asked one
day by baldheaded eagle why he
cared To let himself be fooled by being
fatted up for a Thanksgiving dinner to
make dish for all the greedy mouths
that could afford To get slice Of him.

nies and the Rockies, and | defy the
greedy appetite of your masters. l am

great American eagle! Whoop lar
"Ah." said the turkey benignly as he
cast a plying look upon his proud and
scornful critic, 'you are not civilized
yet. and so you don't know what you
are talking about. You are rs wild
and untutored as the savage Indian

THANKSGIVING DAY.
WE SHOULD MAKE OF 1T A SEASON
OF REJOICING.

Our Festival az the Insathering of
the Fruits Ia an Imitation ef the
Feast of Tabernacles-Itat of Gods
Bounty and Remember the Poor.
Praise for the goodness of God is
never out Of place and never unseason-
able, but ii is especially appropriate on
days set apart by official appointment
TO notice the mercies which have fol-
lowed us, the blessings which we have
enjoyed the kind interpretations which
have been made in our behalf, the
bounties which have been bestowed
upon rs in order that we may render
again TO God for all his benefits with
festive joy and heartfelt thankfulness.
The establishment Of n day of
thanksgiving in the late autumn, after
the ingathering of the fruits, was made
by the early settlers of New England,
In imitation of the feast of tabernacles
held by the Jewish nation. 1t was n
wise and pious act, and its adoption
by most of the states and at length by
the general government of this broad
land Is an evidence of the diffusion of
those religious sentiments which were
at the foundation of the settlement of
this country
We may welcome this annual thanks
giving today with the added interest
which venerable custom has thrown
around it, with the pleasing memories
which early associations weave about
our former celebrations Of ii, with the
recollections of absent friends who
have shared il with us, the reunion of
families. the merry laugh of children,
the pleasure of parents and hail its ad-
vent as a day of sacred and social joy.
1t should be observed with happy
hearts and cheerful voices. and for
the time at least the sigh of sorrow
should be hushed and the tear Of grief
restrained, while full scope is given TO
all the kindlier emotions of our nature.
Let us crowd into its flying hours the
pleasant memories of the past, the hap
piness of the present and the fairest
prospects of the future and make ii
bright and gladstone day.
Let us MAKE it, so far as we can, a
day OF grateful rejoicing, and, while we
partake freely of the bounties of the
year. give loose rein to the sweet sym
pathies OF humanity and dispense with
n liberal hand and benevolent spirit
to those that have need, so that the
voice of gladness may be heard in
every dwelling In imitation of the
time honored custom of our fathers
and in obedience to the language of
Scripture. let us "eat the fat and drink
the sweet and send portions to them
FOR whom nothing is prepared"
