A clergyman was once supplying
a pulpit by the seaside. Thinking
to impress the truth more distinct
ly upon the congregation, many of
whom were seamen, he drew the
figure of a ship trying to enter a
harbor against a high wind,
Unfortunately for the success
of his metaphor, he knew little of
seamanship. After putting the
ship into several singular positions
he cried out in a tone intended to

Several instances of applying
the niadstone to poisonous snake
bites bave been reported by the
Western newspapers recently, and
the testimony of the patients is
that in every case the stone has ah
sobed the poison. It is a peculiar
belief in some parts of the country
that a person who possesses one
of these stones is armed against
all venomous creatures ; but the
savants agree that the niadstone
is nothing more t han the concre
tion found in the stomach of the
deer, and that it has no medical
properties whatever. Prof Holmes
in the Atlantic Constitution says,
dissected one the size of hen’segg,
and found its nucleus to he a per
fect white oak acorn. It was cov
ered by four layers of phosphates
and carbonate of lime and iron
and some tllex. There v*ere two
impressions, apparantly made by
the teeth of the deer before swal
lowing the nut, Acorns are a fa
vorite food for Carolina deer. In
another specimen Prof Holmes
found the nucleus to he a bullet.

Ilk Origin, llistur.v.auil Koine
or ilk Observances.
The Magazine of American His
torv gives us the history of Thanks
giving day and its origin From
the papers we learu that the earli
est thanksgiving service was held
by the Church of England men
The Popbarncolonists, who, Aug
0. 1007 (O. S-) landed upon Mon
began, near the Keuehec, and nn
der the shadow t f a high cross,
listened to a sermon by Chaplain
Seymour, “giving good thanks for
out happy meetings ami safe ar
rival in the country.’’
Next we pass to Plymouth,
wheie in 1621, die autumn after
the arrival, a notable thanksgiving
was held The brief accounts pre
sent a joyous picture. As we
learn from Winslow, the harvest
being gathered, the governor
“sent four men out fowling, that
so «'e might, after a special man
tier, rejoice together,’ aud the tra
ditionul turkay was added to the
abundant venison. Tha people
gave themselves up to
and the great chief Massesoit was
feasted for three days with his
ninety swarthy retainers.
Possibly on this first P.yinouth
thanksgiving, there were more ca
rousing than we suppose, while
there is no' the slightest, indica
tion of any religious observance.
Massasoit and his braves, enjoyed
it all greatly, as the thanksgiving
idea was entertained by the In
dians before their contact with the
whites, and Iheir celebrations
there was much excess How
much “comfortable warm water')
the grave and reverend elders
themselves consumed during those
three days of jollity, Bradford
does not say.
Iu 1622 the r e is no mention ol
thanksgiving, !>jtf in 1623 a day
was kept, not, however, in the au
tumn as a harvest festival, but in
July, upon the arrival of some pro
visions. After this nothing more
is heard as thauksgiving at Ply
mouth for nearly half a eeutury.
So far as the colonial records go t
tbeyiudicae that the day did
not find a revival Until 1668, when
there was some kind of a thanks
giving. Again, June 27, 1689,
there was a thanksgiving for the
accession of William and Mmy. Iu
1690 an autumnal thanksgiving
was held, and the next year Ply
mouth colony was merged in Mas
aachusetts, and »o passe* *ut of
the stery. If any festival can be
said to have been established, it
wai established in imitation of
the custom across the sea. Dis
tinct religious societies, however,
may have kept occasional thanks
givings, as the people at Barnsta
ble observed thanksgiving on De
cember 22, 1636, and December 11
1639.
In the Massachusetts colony the
first thanksgiving was held at Bos
ton, July 8, 1030, it '.eing a special
occasion, having ao reference to
harvests. Again, in February,
1631, there was a thanksgiving, as
al 'eady noticed, lu the October
followin/ a thanksgiving was held
for the safe arrival of “Mrs Win
throp and her children ” in these
appointments we do not fimf the
thanksgiving that wo knowno-day
nor do we detect any fell design
against Christmas. In 1632, on
June 5, there was thanksgiving
for the vie ories in the Pala'inate,
and in October another for the
harvest. In 1637 there was a
thanksgiving for victory over the
PeqnotJ, and in 1638 for the ui
rival of ships and for the harvest.
The thanksgiving days from 1634
io 1683. numbered about twenty
one, or lv-ss than one in every two
years. The celebration of 1686
had special reference to the victo
ry over King Phillip. From this
period until the revolution, a
tbauksgiving of some kind occur
red uearly every other year, and
even twice iu the same year, as in
1742. Some of these days were
appointed by the royal gpveruors,
while again they were order t-d by
the king or queen or by the home
board of trade.
After the close of the revolution
a tendency to rnak»- thanksgiving
day a regular ins itution in New
York, was apparent, and Gov.
John Jay. iu 1795, issued a proc-
lamation for the 11th of November
The act, however, was seized up
on by politicians, who maintain
ed that he was seeking to flatter
religious prejudices.
At au early period, also, the
Mayors of New York were aecus
touted'/o appoint a day of thanks
giving, in accordance with the
teeot mendations of the council,
land that i f December 16. 1799,
appears to have been the first so
ordered. Yet the observance of
the day until Gov. Clinton's time
was more or less hrokeu. The fes
tival was kept, how aver by Episco
patinas, according to the provis
iousof the prayer book, other re
ligion! bodies at, the stitu“ time fol
owing their own preferences.
Ciin'on's course, like Jay’s, excit
ed criticism. At the east end of
Long Island there was no lit tle,
murmuring because (he day did
not coincide with the local custom.
It appears that the people of the
East and Southana ton observed
thanksgiving on the Thursday as
ter she cattle were driven home
from the common pastures at Mon
tank Point, the day of die return
of the cattle lining fixed annually
with duo solemnity, as the town
meeting. Hence there was a col
lision, and the Herdsmen were di
vided, striving as the herdsmen of
Abram's cattle strove with those
of Lot. But this was no ease of
an immovable body opposed to an
irresisatble foro and therefore the
opponents as Clinton gave away,
though not without many expostu
lations. Here was the beginning
of the movement which led to the
first Presidential proclamation na
tionalizing Thanksgiving day.

On the sunny side of the cits

leaning against the wall and dis
