or thine came nightly home to her room where the worth of kindling lay ready for ignition under the puny teakettle When the heard the cobblers baby cry below would no down and take it for a liulc while to give the mother a chance to prepare for her husband She made savory little for the sick girl in the corner room the toiled up to the to tell stories to the washerwo mans little when their mother was late and they were afraid of the dark Theres nobody belonging to me said So it seems almost if Id ought to belong to very- body g Why didnt you ever get marri ed said the washerwomans eldest Utile girl one day to her Nobody ever asked id Barbara And I guess they never will now So when the minister read out the Thanksgiving notice Barbara Burr listened and thought of the many happy household meetings which would hinge on these words It makes no difference to me said the solitary old maid I have nt been asked out to Thanksgiving since Aunt died twenty years ago But I should like to have a little of my own and I will said she Ill ask Crisp the cobbler and his wife and the child ren and Sarah Potter that has had no work since the got up from the fever and Mr the violinist that has not had any one to see him since he had rheumatism in lbs and uncle Peter the pea nut man That will be eight count ing me and my room isnt a large one Hut I think I could make room for lame Severn rag dolls at a dollar a And luck in an odd number loo Nine I I wonder if I can afford a dinner lor nine persons One a little something out of the common for Thanksgiving Day I She went heme and counted her savings with careful exactitude such a very great deal said she but I always was a good manager I can bake a couple of pics and up a few cranberries and buy some ted apples and a quart or so of chestnuts if they arent too dear And a pair of small turkeys would be better economy than one large one Its the sire that costs And I couldnt put mote than a fivepound turkey Into my oven either Dear me I havent cooked a turkey since I was a girl at home be fore father died And that remind me that I ask the jewelers clerk that has the top room I Mm iay yesterday he didnt know a soul In the city and hes a dreadful regular attendant at re member how lonesome I sras when first I came bete Barbaras heart grew light her as she thought all these things over The saw November wind lost its chill the frozen air less In clement and tte gray streets less desolate when she trudged cheerily home while had this pet project to turn over her mind And two Burr went down determined to drive Ibe but In turkeys thai could For the little of intttcd hid to itself hit the other ready there but a lender fund led for the of the central tic- meal Im tight ceau a Burr eight cents I If it wasnt for looks of things Id price and chickens But srho ever heard of a Thanksgiving dinner snth- out a turkey Miss picking her way over the muddy pavements with brain full of these financial calculations a stout farmer stood in the middle of Mr Briskets butcher shop both bands buried In the pockets of his butter nutcolored overcoat Ms hat tipped jauntily over hit eyebrows A hundred and fourteen pounds sir made It said Mr Brisket who who was figuring up some accounts on a piece of blue paper with the aid of a stumpy lead pencil A hundred and fourteen pounds make ft said Truxton which wis the name of the farmer At the old rates said Brisks Oh yes at the old rates nodded Mr 1 dont raise on ao customer But Brisket Yes Mr Heres half dozen small turkeys I want you to give them to your customers this year Id like some one to have a merry Thanksgiving ihis year all along with me there aint many real poor folks our way because Just Mr Briskets sleeve was energetically pulled and a voice in quired Have you any small turkeys this year Mr Brisket for sale cheap Brisket turned this way and that scarcely knowing which of his cus tomers to answer first Farmer stared at Miss Barbara Burr with keen bright eyes beg your maam said he bluntly but be you poor Sir said Barbara in surprise Because if you be went on Mr recklessly throwing all pre caution to the youre kindly to one of these pointing to the pile of mottled birds on the bench In front of him I bring ex pressly for poor folks I want to help some fell owe real use as aint so well of as I be to have a good Thanks- You arc a sensible man said Miss Barbara Ml take four of cm repeated Mr said Miss Barbara Ive got neither kith nor kin of my own but Ive invited sixteen of the poorest and most solitary people I know to keep Thanksgiving with me and Id like to ask twenty if Id room to sit cm down but Ive only one email room and Mr had glanced inquiring ly at Brisket the butcher as if to Is this all reliable inform ation Brisket the butcher had nodded his head as if to reply It is And at this stage the good farmer burst into the current of Miss Barbaras speech Ask em to my house said he Out to Coons Hollow three miles beyond the Harlem River Therell be room for all of them there Dont be afraid at Barbaras wondering look Brisket knows ma Brisket will go security that there aint no trap set for nobody in what I say Im alone in the world and Id like to do a little good here as I get the chance I only knowed how And I calculate its a lucky thing I chanc ed to meet vou now I wonder what Id better do said Miss Barbara It would be very nice to take all poor creatures for a day in the And there aint a prettier place going than Coon Hollow declared Mr And Id send my big straw wagon to the bridge to meet them maam It would do rne good to see a regular Thanksgiving being kept once more in the old place Well said Miss Burr It seems a queer abrupt sort of thiog to do but I dont see any living reason against it Yes III come And 111 bring sixand twenty with me that would not taste of a Thanksgiving dinner if it wasnt for this Shake hands on it said Mr joyfully And their bands met Miss Burr sent the baskets and hampers carefully packed to the Bridge where they were loaded duly on the straw wagon in company with the Crisp family pale Sarah Potter Mr and the vendor of peanutv Severn and the jenelers clerk and a crowd of others scarcely less impecunious and friendless Isthisthe country laid Crisp children leaning over the sides of the wagon We neves saw the before Oh how sweet the air smells said Severn li makes me dink of said poor violinist with tears in his eyes At the farmhouse a royal welcome was prepared Fires Mated in the huge fireplaces auburn leases glowed on the walls and wreaths of silverwhite GrandfatheiGraybeaid were festooned over the window The long table was spread with good things the host stood on the thres hold rubbing his hands You arc welcome Wends be kept repealing You are welcome I I only wijh my poor mother could have lived to see this day Did not Mr and Miss Burr beam lo each other across the long table as they carved lor the hungry guests Did not little children laugh the old people smile in shy delight at each other as the meal processed Rid not the musi cal man ting his best song the worn- out actor give Anthonys Ad dress with swelling of Ms old spirit Did not all enjoy themstUes with a keen sense of happiness that was alas to be but fleeting It was long after sunret when the children were called litck from the bans tod the elders count ed up aod all

for a gallon of oats along with the beer for his horse whereupon the landlord furnished the oats and emp tied the horrid stun on the grain which the animal being of temperate habits refused to eat The

mother spoke half unconsciously as if herself I am thankful for the things money cannot buy There is a chance for me to have some of Better yet there is a chance for every one to have them How much the happiness of in dividual lives is made up of priceless things unsaleable in the the and yet found quickly when the heart of the searcher honestly desires Many of these real treasures are qualities that simply diffuse them selves through the moral and mental atmosphere and are sometimes little valued because they seem too vapafasjand too illusive to be prac tically grasped but they are genuine possessions and won by heart service Who does not rejoice to have an honorable name not necessarily a distinguished name but a clean one Truly in such an inheritance which cannot be bought is justifiable if with it there are a mingled feeling of humility and a desire to do ones own part to the name as un sullied as it has been bestowed What makes home love dearer and sweeter than all else and treasured while life lasts Not tables and chairs not she delicacy of porcelain or the aesthetic beauty which loom achieves These minister to the comfort taste and artistic nature but these there is something which ministers iohe heart and glorifying plain surroundings and homely details- something illusive to measure or weight yet potent to guide to comfort and to help What is this but sympathy the trust the spirit of sacrifice the gentleness the readiness to do and to bear which blended together make the chain which binds us to our homes What beauteous prospect what luxurious surroundings what wonders of nature or art but lose their mys terious charm when viewed by eves seeing see not or when shared a cold thankless heart The power let enjoy the power to appreciate these ate what tender pleasures teal and bring the joy them This thankful of pleasures great or small and extracting the hooey of enjoyment from them Is net to be found at any store yet ft fi another and

happiness we may go find ing that its true essence is something that be gained out money and without price J whereat in KviMpUi the nature of man lFii3rrft l whether it finos kind words become a medium to convey or in the more substantial acknowledgement of good received by proffering to donor as a return for favors enjoyed some of value and a pledge of cher ished regard Indeed that individ ual who is incapable of exercising the virtue of thankfulness for favors re ceived is one that society instinc tively shunt and men prefer to have hut few dealings with that individual whose icy causes him ignore or to become indifferent the part that another has taken in his welfare Combined with filial affec tion gratitude prompts the dutiful child to labor for and support bis par ents when their need and the waning of their physical vigor require his ser vices No sadder picture of an utter ly fallen and abandoned being can be found among than the who hardens his heart against father and mother and whoja daily con duct is such as to Inflict mental and physical suffering upon them A of the bounties of Providence to plentifully bestowed upon us as a people calls upon us in dividually to render the Giver all good our united and most sincere thanks for the blessings we enjoy From the scourge of war and the ages of pestilence we are free In our land this year there is food for man and beast all these mercies call earnestly upon us as a people to give expression to our grat itude to the ruler of the Universe for all our enjoyments and available com forts It is theieforc becoming a Christian people that a day of Public Thanksgiving such as this should be set apart when in field factory and can leave his usual vocation and have to himself a day specially dedicated to give expression to a nations thanks and to acknow ledge dependence on the kind favors of Heaven for our existence and the comforts of life While there is an abundance of the fruits of the earth for all all do not share it alike Some have super abundance while others are stinted of their daily bread poorly clad and des titute of borne These ever existing evils usually disposed of matters of fate or destiny wnen ana lyzed do not appear to have their origin zo much in Divine ordination as in human imperfections A pact of the suffering around us is due to social defects but much of it ij due to individual improvidence and folly But as we are fallible creatures every tendency to reproach individuals for share they have had In producing their misfortunes should at a lime like be checked and the charity that wijl veil human shortcom ings should be fully exercised and those who can should out of their abundance deal generously towards those who have not And let it be hoped that the kindness thus called forth towards the less fortunate of our people will not be laid aside when dawn of another day opens upon us but that out daily Intercourse with our with Judgment grace all our dealings and prove to weak a source of strength and a never stimulant to in dividual exertion towards a plane of competency and moral purity As to the religious duties of this day the manner in which they should be discharged are well outlined in the following selection from a religious paper sent us by a friend The appropriate observance of Thanksgiving day requires some thing more than public religious see- private offerings of praise and prater Real gratitude to God will prompt us to make Him some re turn for received in offerings which are more acceptable to Him The sweetest incense that can be of fered to God is not words of praise merely not ihe but good works in feeding the hungry clothing the and visiting those who are sick and in prison Deeds of charity and love done to Gods needy ones are the thankofferings He delights to accept in return for his g t ah8 Of It is popular in some circles to de cry missions as valueless The educated natives of heathen lands ate especially
