THANKSGIVING.

The day mentioned in our title is, and should be, something more than an occasion for overlooking our stomachs and clogging our digestive organs. At least one day in the year should be set apart for review of past events and a summary of the good and bad things that have contributed to make our lives happy or otherwise. And so, on the morrow, when the soothing influence of a good dinner has left our minds at rest, we will look back over the year that is past and gather up all the bless ings, and joys, and offset them against the pain and sorrow. Oh! the sorrow of our lives. How it seems to override all joy and pleasure and leave the past as a dark blot. The loved one has in the past year been taken from us and our heart bIeeds as we sec through our tears the happy days when it was not so. Sickness and death have visited our homes aud our quiveriug lips mutter no prayer but breathe sigh for the days of yore. Surely it does seem that we have no cause for thanksgiving. But think again. Have we not been the re- cipients of many good things from the God of nature? See the happy smile that illuminates the face of the wife or mother. The passing of the year has been kind to her, and her burden of grief has been frightened by the great healer, lime. Our loved ones with frmer steps are again looking forward; the cloud of adversity has passed, and hope gives us courage. Yes, there are blessings, many, if we will but see them and their recouDting makes us grateful to the Giver. But with an inherent weakness, we reason in the dark, and fondIy apprehend what none ger found or ever shall, pleasure and pain un- mixed.

and insufficient food, and half of them died the first winter. Although this somewhat discouraged the Pilgrims, yet they persevered. They built rude log cabins and settled as best they could.
 Among those that died was John Car yer, the governor, and William Brad ford took his placeand held it until his death, thirty years afterwards.
 The Plymouth Company were more fortunate than any of the other colo nies in America, as they lived in peace with the Indians for twenty years. They happened to settle on a vacant piece of land where many of the Indians had died of pestilence.
 In the spring, two Indians named Somoset and Squanto walked into the village and said; "Welcome, English men," Squanto remained with the Pil- grims and taught them how to plant corn, and acted as an interpreter for them when they were trading with the Indians. The chief of the tribe was Massasoit, and very soon after Somoset had left the Pilgrims, Massasoi5 and about sixty warriors appeared at the top of hill just outside of the village. Then Massasoit and the governor made treaty that they should live like brothers. They kept this resolution until about fifty years afterwards.
 The Indians helped the Pilgrims in the spring to plant their corn, but the ground was barren and unfertile and their crops failed. The Pilgrims were starving and knew not what to do. But they said that God would provide.
 They went to church, and while they were there an Indian came and told them that vessel was in sight. They went to the shore and found that it was the Speedwen with provisions from England for them. They got down on their knees and thanked God for the goodness which He had bestowed upon them. Then they had 8 feast and in vited Massasoit and his men to share it with them. They called it Thanksgiv- ing Day.
 Thus the first Thanksgiving Day was celebrated 280 years ago, and thus the custom introduced by the Pilgrims has become permanent and abiding. It is observed in every state in the Union.
 And every year a certain day is set aside by the president of the United States as a special day on which we thank God for the many blessings we have received during the year.

SCHOOL HOUSE FIRE.

Last Thursday morning about 10 o'clock Miss Gertrude Spiers, who teaches the school held in the Mission school building in this city, looked across to the government school build ing and discovered that the roof was on fire. With rare presence of mind she quietly told her scholars to be ord erly during her absence, and running over to the burning building, informed the teacher in charge, Miss Kate Spiers, of the impending catastrophe.
 Miss Kate Spiers announced to her scholars that they should all take their books and proceed over to the other school. The children were all out of the building before they discovered that it was on fire. Some of the older boys were dispatched to the fire tower and the clamor of the bell brought out bucket brigade-the school building being situated outside of the limits reached by the fire department hose. The fire had good start but vigorous work was soon victorious. Chas. Fox and others got in between the ceiling and the roof with a small chemical fire extinguisher and Gus Johnson and c. A. Lindstrom and several others shin ned up the roof. Willing hands sup piled water in pails and thus the gov ernment school was saved.
 An investigation after the smoke had cleared away revealed the cause of the fire. The chimney, which is built of terra cotta piping, had succumbed to the elements and large cracks between the joints afforded ample egress for sparks.
 Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, force of workmen was secured to immediately remedy the damage to the building, which consist ed chiefly in a big hole in the roof. School opened up again last Monday morning.
 This chimney should be rebuilt of brick, but it was impossible to do it at this time, so the committee had to be content with repairs that will insure safety for the present.
