THURSDAY NOVEMBER 27, 1890. m 53 A! Soon again these cheering vvoids will greet US from loving lips and usher in the one day of the year when joy unal loyed is the portion of all. Again we ■shall see its radiance wreathe the bright faces of youth in glad smiles and smooth the care traced wrinkles from the brow of old age. Once again its warmth will dispel from our minds the griefs and troubles and piety striving of every day life. How much Christmas means to us nil? How closely interwoven are its memor es with the tendrils oi our Imarts!. The sweet pictures of childhood, grown dim with the passim, of years, becoms clear and distinct once more at the bidding of Christinas. We see again the old familbar faces, feel again the touch of loving hands hear anew’ the sweet voices, nows ilent perhaps forever. With loving neeiomau cy it blots out the intervening years and makes us children again, care free and light of heart. Poor indeed is lie, though with gold untold at his cad, whssa life is barren of the loving memories winch cling around the Christmas of children. To be pitied is he in whose heart the com ing of this glad day stirs no sweet music, nor revives the fragrant perfume of happy by gone days. From us, who owe so mooli to Ch ristmas, the day de mauds much, We have no right to share in the joyous merriment of tin days, if from our store, be it small or great, nothing has been given logi cddu the hearts oi others.

For the singing of birds from the hills to the seas. For the beauty of dawn and the brightness of noon. For the li^nt in the night of the stars and the tnoou. We praise thee, gracious God For the sun ripened fruit and the billowy grain. For the orange and apple, the corn and the cane, For Hie bountiful harvests now gathered and stored. That by thee in the lap of the nations were poured. We praise thee, gracious God For the blessings of friends, for the old and the new For the hearts that are trusted and trusting and true. For the tones that we love, for the light of the eye That warms with a welcome and glooms with good-by We praise thee, gracious God. Thar the desolate poor may find shelter and bread, That the side may be comforted, nourished and fed. That the sorrow may cease of the sighing and sad, That the spirit bowed down may lie lifted and glad. We pray then, pitying Lord That brother the hand of his brother may clasp From ocean to ocean in friendliest grasp, That for north and for south and for east and for west The horror of war be forever at rest. We pray thee, pitying Lord For the blessings of earth and of air and of sky That fall on us all from the Father on high, For the crown of all blessings since blessing begun, For the gift, “the unspeakable girt." of thy Son. We praise thee, gracious God —S hi. Adams Q-p TURKEY 4N D FiX IVS WITHOUT THEM WHAT WOULD THANKSGIVING BE? A Writer «>f Most SSIessed F.xj'.erlenres Dwells Feelingly and Wisely Upon the Glories of tbe Thanksgiving Day of Olden Time. Thanksgiving would not be Thanks giving without its turkey and fixin’a. Who does not remember who can look hack to tin old-fashioned Thanksgiving at a New England homestead, with what anxiety he awaited the opening of the great brick oven? Very early in the day a roaring fire of wood was built in the oven A couple of hours later the em hers and ashes would be removed and the bottom of the oven carefully swept with a turkey’s wing. Then came the procession of good things, the turkeys, the chicken pies, the apple, mince and pumpkin pies and all the rest, and disappeared in the cavernous depths. Mysterious sounds and fragrant odors came from those same depths ever and anon, as some ...rvtron approach .:’, and. opening the iron door, peered in for a moment. THK WELCOME DINNER HORN The hoys and girls could scarcely wait for the slow process of baking to he per formed properly. Driven at last from the kitchen by their elders, they took refuge in the attic, where they nun niaged to their hearts delight, or in toe onter air where they passed the tune iu playing those time honored games of "two-old-eat" or “barn tick." They wen never too diligently employed at either of these occupations to hear the dinner horn. They responded promptly when its melodious tones burst npon the air bnt dm)rousl y at tllw ,l(,or of tlie NvhS a smie bm-st unon their eves , m( i what odors delighted their senses! The long table, formed of all the tables in the house set in a row, was covered with spotless linen At either end and in the center a huge turkey thrust his crisped legs appealingly in the air. while midway upon ('acli side reposed a great chicken [ i<>. with a diamond shaped Dole ent carefully in the flaky top. Dishes of white potatoes, golden squash, pale y< I low turnips, fragrant onions and crimson cranberry sauce held their appropriate places, while howls of gravy and great branches of celery tilled the intervening spaces. THK SCIENTIFIC CAKVRR. The curved outlines of those mammoth gobblers were soon lost under the knife of the carver hi every family there is always one if not more who prides him self upon his skill at carving "Always insert yonr fork with the tines upon either side of the breast hone, and, once inserted, do not remove it un til the.carvmg is completed Remove a leg and a wing first, then carve the breast upon the same side Cut long thm. smooth slices, 1 and do not mangle the flesh When one wtle . , is thoroughly carved begin on the other, if the waiting appetites will allow." These are the in structions that the experienced carver will always give U*tween the strokes of his keen blade After the turkey and ‘fixinV had be«t? (lispostnt ot, tm<l t‘V( j rylHxly helped twice, the dishes were removed and the pies brought on. YOL. II. NO. 22. THE GLORY OF THK MINOR FIR. Who can litly describe the glories of the mince pie of our grandmothers? We never have such snowstorms nowadays as we used to have when we were hoys; the woods are never so brilliant as they were then, the fish never bite so quick ly. and the chestnuts and shagharks are never so fat and luscious as when we used to find them under the leaves. Ho. too. the mince pie of today is thin, flat and insipid and hem’s no resemblance to those which used to come out. smok ing and fragrant, from the old brick oven. They needed no brandy "to make them keep." They were for the present use only But it cannot he denied that the cider in the barrel in the shed was slightly lowered when a batch of pies was made ready for the baking As for the pumpkin pies, what a rich golden color they had. so different from the sickly yellow of the modern marrow fat squash. How those pumpkins used to glow as they lay in the field ripening slowly in the late sunshine and growing sweeter with the early frosts And the apples, too. how we watched them as they grew redder and redder as the autumn advanced, until they reached just the exact tint of perfection. How we used to (dimh the trees and drop them into the bine checked gingham aprons that the girls held stretched below After the pies came the nuts gathered in the woods and raisins from the gro ■ -•* ’$ cart And then came th<\se,isnn of meditation. Somehow it always hap pened that the hoys did not feel just like finishing that game of "two-old-eat" di rectly after dinner They climbed to the mow and stretched themselves m the fragrant hay or took a walk in the woods, scaring out a rabbit or a part ridge, and coming home with handfuls of checkerbevry leaves, or sassafras, or birch bark IN THK FIHKI.1GHT As rught drew on tt formal supper was dispensed with. Doughnuts and cheese arul pies would he spread upon the table for those who wished But they were not in great demand A little later the family were all assembled in the parlor, and there were charades and character sketches and songs by the young folks, while their elders sat around the great fire upon the hearth. —Boston Record --- Too IfoncHt to Kiuiraell.
