THOhOFARE.
This is Thanksgiving Day, and we haye
all been to church and giving thanks for
the mercies and blessings which we did, or
did not receive, but we have given thanks
all the same. And then, if we are old
fashioned we haye sat down to big turkey
dinner That is, both the turkey and the
dinner were big. We have had in, our
aunts aud our cousins and all the outlying
branches OF the family, if there are any, to
eat that turkey with US. Turkey and CRAM
berry sauce Who eyer heard of one with
out the other? But when, and how did
they become so intimately connected Here
is subject which historical research has
still left in darkness. Brillat-Savarin, who
might have saved France from its scorn Of
cranberry-sauce with turkey, bad the good
luck to eat a wild turkey. during his exile
in the home of Connecticut farmer. He
does not mention pumpkin-pie, which,
alas!-the French know not-but he says
that there was chaste evening meal Of
corned beef, stewed goose, leg Of mutton
with plenty Of roots of all kinds, and at
each end of the table two large pots of ex-
cellent cider After this came tea. One
wonders whether this slight repast came
did invent pumpkin pie-on finds pies in
no country but our own, and yet here pie
is a national dish, and as national dish will
always remain Trusts cannot kill it, or
the failure of the apple crop wither it; but,

that
Good talk is more than dry champagne
And simple food than truffled ham,
The whole Of Thorofare was saddened last
week by the death of Mary B. Wyne, wife
Of Robert E. Hudson Her life had been
one of toll. and she had known many
sorrows, but her brightness and cheerful
ness, and her kindliness never forsook her.
Hers was always the ready hand, and the
PLYING heart for those in need or in sorrow.
She died on tuesday, November goth in
the Gath year of her aye. The funeral was
held in the church at 2 p. m. on Saturday

Thomas A. Farley, who paid beautiful
tribute to the loyeliness Of her character,
and the faith which had sustained her. He
was followed by the Rev. Isaac L. Fowler
who had known her many years, and who
spoke tenderly of her life, and also paid
high tribute to her christian character, and
her perfect trust in the cruciied one. Mrs.
Virgin Bergman, organist and soloist in
the Trinity Episcopal Church, in Philadel-
phia sang during the service, Sometime
We'll Understand, y Some Sweet Day Bye
and Byeu and Asleep in Jesus. The sing
ing was tender, and patheSic, and sweet,
and brought tears from many eyes. Among
the beautiful floral tributes was pillow in
the center of which was clock noting the

daughter, Mrs. Harry Hinman, in whose
house she died. The burial took place in
the little cemetery back of the church. In
her coffin where she looked so pure and
sweet she was surrounded with white mar

the lid went down she was covered with
white eiderdown blanket, bound and
trimmed with lavender, the gift of another
daughter, Mrs. James Milstead. She also
leaves son Mr.. Charles w. Hudson.
Her life was but simple life,
Unmarked the way she trod,
A little tale of loving DAYS,
Sweet with the sun and sod,
So slight thing to save a soul
For hope, and home, and God.
