THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS, loo(
IBY HELEN A. TAYLOR.

BY HELEN A. TAYLOR. Glad Thanksgiving is coming, we well
 come it's cheer, A time-honored day from ancestors When the friends all around from near
 and from far Find the home friends in waiting, the
 doors all ajar To welcome the loved ones that on
 them have a claim, The children and grandchildren bear
 ing their name. November then if in most surly mood, Is overlooked wholly in it's Thanksgiv-
 ing good. We take of the bounties God and Ma
 ture have given, And return grateful thanks to Our
 Father in Heaven. ., The year has been fruitful, the crops
 have been good, Bountiful provision for nourtshing
 food.
 The markets made ready for pressing To have Sal things most needed all ready The corn, stripped of its covering, all
 golden awaits '. The turn of the mill wheel for cook
 and the plates, To make into pudding long famous for
 feast. <t And the fine pumpkin pie not last nor
 not least. In the cellar and storehouse vegeta-
 bleS stored For call on demand there use not fig.
 nOred. :..... The fowls in the barnyard uncon-
 sciously feed: For coming disaster they show little
 heed.
 Enjoying perhaps more bountiful feed, Till in turn they are called to supply
 others need. The fruits from all climes in the mar
 kets have place, ...=. The orange and lemon, the sweet,
 juicy grape, .. Bananas and figs and confections ga-
 lore,
 To tempt we'll the palate what could
 not ask more. Say nothing of apples of popcorn and
 nuts, What store house of goodies Dame When the dinner is over and night comes apace, For visitors many must find each a place.
 The evening passed with stories, mu' sic and games, Some for the children and some foI the danes. The men sit apart, perhaps for a smoke, For social enjoyment with talk and with joke, And when the day ended to retire file away.
 They thank the good Lord for this Thanksgiving day. Great Plain, Danbury.

 who wishes to engage in 8 business that will net them from three to five dollars day from the start, without the investment of any capital, should write The First National Nurseries, of Rochester, N.

The position is worth obtaining.

A SONG OF FAITH.

My God. the spring of all my joys, The life of my delights, The glory of my brightest days, And comfort of my ntghts! In darkest shades, if thou appear, My dawning is begun; Thou art my souls bright morning star, And thou my rising sun. The opening heavens around me shine With beams of sacred bliss, If Jesus shows his mercy mine And whispers am his. My soul would leave this heavy clay At that transporting word, Run up with joy the shining way, To see and praise my Lnrd Fearless of hell and ghastly death. I'd break through every foe; The wings of love and arms of faith Would bear me conquer0r through.

The storekeeper depends wholly and entire ly upon the merit of the goods and the reasonableness of the price to attract customers, and my business has ever been conducted upon the same common sense basis. To my mind, no other course is either dignified or business like, and the character of the custom CTS which have attracted to myself during these six years shows that the most conservative element in this community approves of the methods to which I have above referred, and recognizes me as having a legitimate and permanent place in their business world.
