Enough to eat and at low prices; enough to wear, and of home man ufacture., If some have and some have not, then may God help those who have to hand over to those who have not! Clear the track for the rail trains that rush on bringing the wheat and the cot ton and the rice and the barley and the oats and the hops and the lumber and the leather and everything for man and ev- erything for beast.
 Lift up your eyes, nation of Gods right hand, at the glorious prospects,. Build larger your barns for the harvests; dig deeper the vats for the spoil of the vineyards; enlarge the warehouses for the ,merchandise; multiply galleries of art for the pictures and statues. Ad
 vance, O nation of Gods right hand, but remember that national wealth. if un- sanctifed, Is sumptuous waste. is moral ruin. is magnificent woe, is splendid rot tenness. Is gilded death! Woe to us for the wine vats if drunkenness wallows in them! Woe to us for the harvests if greed sickles them! Woe to us for the merchandise of avarice swallows it! Woe to us for the cities If misrule walks them! Wde to the land if God defying crime debauches it! Our only safety is in more Bibles, more churches, more free schools, more good men and more good women, more consecrated printing presses, more of the glorious gospel of the Son of God, which will yet extirpate all wrongs and introduce all blessedness But the preachers on Thanksgiving morning will not detain with long ser- mons their hearers from the home group The housekeepers will be angry if the guests do not arrive until the viands are cold. Set the chairs to the table-the easy chairs for grandfather and grand mother, if they be still alive; the high chair for the youngest, but not the least Then put out your hand to take the full cup of thanksgiving. Lift 1t and bring it | towards your lips your hands trembling with emotion. and if the chalice shall overflow and trickle few drops on the white cloth that covers the table do not be disturbed. but let 1t suggest to you the words of the ~psalmist and lead you

 How things have marvellously changed!l T We used to cry because we had to go to school. Now children cry if they cannot go. Many of them can intelligently dis cuss political topics long before they have seen a ballot box or leased by some poetic muse, can compose articles for the newspapers. Philosophy and astronomy and chemistry have been so improved that he must be genius at dullness who knows nothing about them On one shelf of poor mans library Is more practical knowledge than in the 10000 volumes of ancient Alexandria, and education Is pos sible for the most indigent, and no Leg islature or Congress for the last fifty years has assembled which has not had in 1t rail splitters and farmers and drov- CTS or men who have been accustomed to toiling with the hand and the foot.
 The pen which Moses dipped in the light of the first morning and Jeremiah filled with tears. and Ezekiel thrust in visions of fire, and Matthew touched with the blood of a cross, and St. John dipped in the splendors of beatifc glory-that pen has wrought marvels for all classes of our people.

bourg they are disgusted with our acade-t mics of art It makes me sick to hear, these people who have been to Europe come home talking with foreign accent and aping foreign customs and talking Of moonlight on castles by the sea. 1 think the biggest fool in the country is the travelled fool.
 But, considering the youth of our na- Ition and the fact that comparatively few persons devote themselves entirely to lit- erature. I think we have great reason to thank God for the progress of our Ameri- can literature. As historians have we not had in the past such men as Bancroft and Prescott. as essayists Irving and Elm erson, as jurists Story and Marshall and Kent as theologians Edward and Hodge, as poets Pierrepont and Sprague and Longfelow and Bryant as sculptors Powers and Crawford and Palmer, as painters such men as West and Cole and Inman and Kensett? And among the living Americans what galaxies of intel lectual splendor and power! Edward Egg gleston and Will Carleton and Mark Twain and John Kendrick Bangs and Marian Harland and Margaret Sangster and Stockton and Churchill and Hopkin- son Smith and Irving Bacheller and Julia Ward Howe and Amelia Barr and Brander Matthews and Thomas Nelson Page and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps and William Dean Howells and a score of others, some of them fixed stars and some meteors
 As the pen has advanced our colleges and universities and observatories have followed the waving of its plume. Our literature is of two kinds-that on foot and that on the wing. By the former I mean the firm and substantial works which will go down through the centuries. When, on othe other hand, I speak of literature on the wing mean the news papers of the land. Tn fly swiftly and vanish, but leave perms ht results upon the public mind. They fs1 noiselessly as a snowflake, but with the strength of an Alpine glacier This unparalleled null tiplication of intelligence will either make or break us. Every morning and evening our telegraph offices. with huge wire rakes, gather up the news of the nation and of the whole world. and men write to some purpose when they make a pen out of a thunderbolt. .
 Progress of Education.
 It needs great energy and decision and perseverance for man to be ignorant in this country today. It seems to me that 1t requires more effort for him to keep out
