THANKSGIVING.

The following poetry was written
by Irving Dix, Wayne county young
man:
Loud on New England's rock-bound
coast
The oceans wintry breakers roar,
And loud the snow-storm' icy host
Beats round famished Pilgrim S
door;
Within, a reverend fathers head
Is how'd in thankfulness and love
For bits of barley, corn and bread,
That is vouchsafed them from
above.
Merciful Father!-we to-day,
For all thy bounties of the past,
Are not so thankful as were they
Who perished in the wintry blast,
Are not so thankful as were they
Who first observed Thanksgiving
Day.
Irving Dix.
