J.. b. WEIGHS last poem. THE Old Church in
the Graveyard" is dedicated 10 captain George
Milton aud knows much about the town, and
the old church spoken Of. The poem calls upTe-
miniscenses dear TO them who knew of its his
tory, and leads the mind in prospective TO a fu

This Is, probably one of Nj. weleh's best and
will add another laurel TO the many, that have

When the Chronic shall have been read this
week, Thanksgiving Day will have come and
been numbered with It's predecessors. and the
people Of this great country will have offered
their thanks 70 Almighty God, on this especial /
day, for the blessings of the year. Anyone who
knows the history Of our country, and who ap.
preciaies the blessings we enjoy must see, and |
believe that our Government is a theocIacy as
much so as was Israel's Perhaps we are not so
per VerTe q nation, nor so "stiff-necked" a peo-
pie as was the Jewish Nation, although our ma
tiOnRl sins are multltudinOus and multiiorm.
Notwithstanding our iniqnities of the Decalogue,
and other sins. introduced by advanced evil
izstion" there are yet "a few names in Tanus
who have not defed their garments" and to such
perhaps we are indebted for our bounteOus har-
vests our peace with all nations. and our dOmes-
tic, and cur national felicity. True. there are
many Of us who are, but, indirectly benefited
by the many avenues Off trade,-agrculture,
mercantile and Northumberland go to make up
our nations wealth, yet we are benefited in
measure, and In degree to our skill, and desert.
We are inclined 70 optimism and really believe
that every thing is ordered for the best. In our
cOuntry's history we have many instances TO
prove where national blessings have resu ted
from bad beginnings, and In our private life We
have many more. AS favored a nation as are
these United States, we should always be thank
ful for our blessings and favors from the Al
anarchy, new regning in Russia Draw parenel
between the tive countries if you can and then
reason with yourself whether we have not alum
dent reason to be thankful for our domestic com
forts as a nation, as well as, for our many bless
ings as individuals. And not only give thanks
on Thanksgiving Day, but be thankful the other
three hundred and sixty-four.
