Praisea to high and graoions Heaven Ascend throughout the land; Praiaea to-day for what is givoti Bv God’s all-bounteous hand, And everv Lent that knoweth good Beforo his throne is bent, Yielding to Him its gratitude For countless blessings sent. And though the swiftly-passicg year Hath had its changes, to Ps anguish and its burning tear, And disappointments new, And from our tyosom hath been torn The dearest object known, Aud we are left, bereft and worn, With cheerless grief alone Yet this was but tho chnstoniug rod To guide to bolter ways; To lift our hearts from earth to God, ’ In love and thankful praise, For those groat blessings He doth give To us so faithfully, Bestowed each hour and day we live, Abundant, rich and free! Our Nation’s crowned to-day with Peace No etrifo its sway assails; Content, and thrift, and lore increase, And harmony prevails; While Froodom, God’s ennobling boon, Holds universal reign, And conoord binds in sweet commune The Stato from main to main. Tho fertile earth’s vast harvest-field, By labor’s guildiug hand, Has filled with its uneqnaled yield The garners ot the land; While hill, and stope, and valley teem With orchards bending low, Whose mellow frnits the rivals seom Of Autumn's golden glow. And to these bounties of kind Heaven, These bonefits and wealth, Throughout the favored land was given The matchless olessing Health; Nor hath contagion smitten town And city with its breath,. And cast the stricken thousands down In nngai3h and in death. So, for these blessings of the year, And benefactions great, Let us give tbanks with song and cheer, And voice nnd heart elate! And while we raise our hoarts in praise, Our aim shall bo alway To make each day of time for ns A glad, TnANKaoiviNO Day! Miss Grey’s Thanksgiving, if you like. Only don’t expect to live on me, if I happen to make a good match; fur I'm going to look out for tnyaelf, and out adrift from poor relations as aoon aa possible.” shan’t trouble you,” retorted Asenith, independently. Tho two cousins had a room to gether in the third atory of a seoond rate boarding house, and did copy ing for a living. Asenith worked away, as happy and contented as a robin redbreast; but her cousin was trotful and dis satisfied, and frequently grumbled at her bard lot. “But it won’t be so always,” ahe declared, stoutly. “Worse looking girls than me bavo married well, and I may have a chance yet, too. Then won't I show folks?” “ Let mo seo !’•' Mr. Gabriel Throckmorton wrinkled up his forehead, and gazed meditatively into vacancy. “Didn’t my fathor have a cousin Enoch l Seems to me he did, and this must be him.” “Yes,” he repeated, “it must be him.' To-morrow is Thanksgiving Day, too. Suppose I just run down there, claim the relationship, and cat my Thanksgiving dinner with them ? 1 believe I will. And if I like them, tnd everything is ugreeable, I may stay longer—a month, perhaps. “Mr. Enoch Throckmorton, Swamp, Hollow, Missouri.” That’s him, of course, I've often heard my father speak of Swamp Hollow. Well, I'll take a holiday to morrow and run down there.. The change will do me >ood, too. Cooped up in the oity lere, day in and day out, I really don’t get a cbanco to expand my lungs properly.” But a glance at Mr. Gabriel Throckmorton’s tali figure aud well-developed chest would have cansed a spectator to smile at the idea of his lungs not being proper ly expanded.

Asenith Grey’s round blue eyes grew rouuder with astonishment, as she repeated her cousin’s words, hall skeptically. “You—you don’t really mean it, Jean f” “I do mean it!” flashed Jean, energetically, “/ain’t a-goieg to spend my substance a-going to Aunt Nancy Throckmorton's, when I can get as good a dinner, if not better, here, and savu ray money, too. We pay our hoard hero, and Mrs. Hill won’t deduct a cent, if we do go.” “But Aunt Nancy and Uncle Euosh, Jean. They will be so disappointed.” Asenith looked reproachfully ul her cousin, but Jean only shock her bead determinedly. ‘‘/can’t help it, if they arc," she declared. “I’ve got to look out for myself,and I've made up my mind to keep my money, nnd not spend it a-goiug to the country, just to ilcaso Aunt Nancy and Uncle Snocli. And you are a gooso if you go, Asenith Grey. You ain’t ao young ns you might be—five years older'n me, at tho very least, and you’d ought to be n lookin’out fur yourself and thiuking of being settled, instead of throwing your money away, n-running to Swamp Holler every little wliile, to seo Aunt Nancy.” Hut Asenith could be as deter mined as her cousin when she chose. “I don’t expect to ho ‘settled’ as you say,” she retorted, “and if I did, I shouldn’t slop going to Aunt Nancy’s wlurc I was born, and al ways lived till I came to the city to earn my own living. It will cost me a fen- dollars, to be sure; but I don’t begrudge the money. And somehow nr other, roast turkey and pumpkin pics don’t have the Mine flavor on a dingy hoarding bouse table that they do in tho country, with tho big maple tree brushing the south window, and Aunt Naucy's old fashioned china and silver decorating the table.” “Pooh ! What nonsense!” sniffed Jean. “Aa it vittlea didn’t taste just the same whatever you eat ’em on! But ’talu’t any of my business. Spend your mono/ a-runnlng to Swamp Hollar, and M an old maid, It was Thanksgiving Day, and the inmates of Throckmorton farm were stirring before the first streak of sunlight quivered over the fros ty fields and mcadaws aronnd Swamp Hollow. “It’ll hustle mo some to git the chores done, and go down in time to meet them gals, said Undo Enoch, to his helpmeet, as ho fin isbod bis third cup of coffee, and pushed back Ilia empty plate.. “’Pears liko wo hain’t got noth in’ in pertiokier to give thanks fur, either, wife,” he continued. “You half crippled with the rheumatiz, «n’ me jest a-gitting over the fever an’ ager. But then, we’re alive, an’ I rcckin we’d ort to ho some thankful fur that. Anyhow, it’s Thanksgivin’ Day, and we muat bev somethin’ a leetle extry fur dinner, ao I'll go aud kill that tur- key-ben', I rcckin, of tia the last of the flock.’ “Yes, Enoch,” assented Aunt Nanoy, “you must kill the turkey- hen on Thanksgivin’ Day. 'Pears like we did hev bad luck with that flock ol turkeys. Only twelvo batched, out of settin’ of seventeen, and the varmints ketched all ol them hut ono. I s'pose we’d ort to he thankful they didn’t git her, too." “An 1 , thank goodness, I saved pumpkins enough fur a good batch of pies. 1 was sfeared they’d freeze, that last cold snap; but the corn-shock where 1 bed ’em stowed away kop’ the cold off so they didn't even git frost-bit.” “I must hustle now, an’ git tilings a-goin',” said Aunt Nancy. “’Twon't bo no great of a dinner, altei all; but it’s the best I kin do, an’ I rsokin Asenith and Jean ’ll be glad to see us, anyhow.” ‘ Huinpb! now what's tho use of grumbliu’, wife?” commented Un cle Enoch. “Roast turkey an’ pumpkin pics, with some o’your cup-custards an’ borne made bread, i< good enough for the king, or anybody else. If ’lain’t, they’re welcome to stay away. But I must gear up the erittura now, and go down after them gals.” And by tho time Uncle Enoch and the sorrel team made their ap pearance at tho station, Atenllh Grey and Mr. Gabriel Throckmor ton had managed to become quite well acquainted with each other. “How nice and tall be it," thought Asenith, blushing very pink beneath the gaze of Mr. Ga briel’s handsome brown eves. While the young lawyer mental ly admitted that such bine eyea and velvety pink cheeks, such golden lashes and cheatnut brown curia, never bad exlated before, outside of a story-book.

Three weeks later, Jean Wither- ell received a letter from her Cous in Asenith. ‘Dear Jean," It said. “I an going to be married on the third of next month to a cousin of Uncle Enoch’s, Mr. Gabriel Tbrookmor- ton. So you can get a new room mate at soon as you please. He it a lawyer, and own* that row of brown-stone houses opposithe Mr*. Hill’s boarding-house. We an going to live Id one ot them after we are married, and you piuet come to eee ue. Come to the wed ding If you can.

But that’s alius the way—I never have any good lack. Mebbe if I’d a g one down there Thanksgiving 'ey I’d a-got him, though.
