Of all the days that have been set apart as sacred to the people of this country, two stand forth in holy radiance as the out¬ come of the purest sentiments. The one is Decoration day, and the other Thanks¬ giving. The one was born in loving mem¬ ory of the dead, and the other in gratitude to the bountiful Giver of all we enjoy. The flowers we lay upon the graves of our soldiers and lost ones are not sweeter than the thanks we offer today. Borne, indeed, may not give articulate sound to thanks, but it is safe to say that in all this broad land there is not one person whose heart, whether it is weighed down by sorrow or light with joy, does not send at least one grateful thought toward the source of all good, though perhaps they are hardly conscious of it. Gratitude for favors given is a pure and ennobling sentiment, and meet is it that this youngest and most signally blessed country should set apart one day wherein the whole nation, as one soul, should bow in silent thanks for all the bounties and blessings we enjoy. We receive the feast in the spirit of a reminder that those blessings are but a part of the abundant store; and with the feasting the thanks¬ giving rises like incense, l-et there be no empty tables in all the land, that not one single heart fail to offer its meed; and let us all “Praise the Lord for his good works, for his mercy endureth forever.” An Old Fashioned Pinner. The following is the list of the dishes at Thanksgiving dinner on a Pennsylvania farm. Everything with the exception of the pudding was placed upon the table at once, to obviate the necessity of rising, as the dear old hostess was none too strong and kept no servants, and yet cooked it all herself. At the head of the table was a large chicken pie, in the middle two roast chickens, and at the foot was mi enormous turkey, and opposite the chick¬ ens a roasted pig. There were fourteen pies of different kinds, three largo cakes, crullers, preserves, pickles cf four kinds. boiled onions, mashed potatoes, and tur nips, applet cheese nuts, custard, head cheese, biscuit, brown and white, bread, and lastly a big plum pudding, and cofTee. All this for thirteen persons. This dinner was twelve years ago. and all the diner* t- AtJO - CONSUMPTION US£ y% $ T * ^ V - kVfUij 0 (, w A _ r. * *■ f A J 1 W ■ t * t It —.<* r » V r\ . 1 ?
