A Stranger at the
Board.
A THANKSGIVING STORY.
BY MRS. ANNIA A. PRESTON.
It snowed the night before
Thanksgiving thatyear. Through
the evening there was a half-de
fined mist in the gray air that
scemed like the ali pervading
chilliness taking form, and every
body who wis going away, or who
was to have company (and that
took in nearly all of New England),
went to bed with a dim foreboding
of disappointment on the morrow.
“There is four inches of snow,
at least,” said farmer Draper on
Thanksgiving morning, as he came
in from the big barn, stamping
Lis feet vigorously upon the stone
floor of the back porch. “Four
inches at least, and that is not the
worst of it, it is covered with a
crust as thin and sharp, almost, as
window glass. I declare here is a
hole in one of my rubber boots
already.”
“I don’t know what to do ahout
cooking the turkey,” said Mother
Drapey, setting a large platter of
steaming stewed chicken upon the
breakfast table. “I don’t see how
Aunt Catherine and the girls are
to get down here to-day; or Frank
and his wife, or the boys either,
for that matter.”
“it is a bad morning for horses
to Lravel, to be sure,” said William,
coming in from thebarn just then,
“but Thanksgiving is never post
ponéd on acecount of the weather,
8o 1 will tell you what I propose
to do; I will tackle up the steers,
atll four yoke; and hifeh them to
the long wood-shed and go for the
company. It will be great fun,
besides showing my good disposi
tion by breaking a track for my
neighbors.—You can go, too, sis, if
you have a mind to; we will start
right away after breakfast.”
“It will be pretty cold,” said her
mother,
“And that ain’t the worst of it,”
put in her father, “I expect she
will be needed about the chicken
ixens..
“Mcther will get along uniil
Aunt Catherine gets here; she i 5 a
whole team and a horse to let. So
put on your water-proof old maid,
and come down and help me tack
le. You need not be afraid of
your benu getting here before you
return, for certainly, if he has to
walk, he can’t meke great head
way this morning.”
Jemmie a bright, hawdsome,
trim little body, being the oldest
of the Draper children, was al
ways teasingly ecalled “the old
maid,” by her four brothers, who
delighted in joking her about an
expected lover who never came.
“Jennie’s beau” was a sort of
mythical scapegoat in the family
to whom all imaginable, absurd
bluiders and mishaps were attri
buted.
5o now she made some laugh
ing response,and when her brother
warshaled his team, consisting of
alternate yokes of r~d and white
stecrs, two yokes of each, she took
her place upon a bundle of straw
in the center of the huge slad.
“Theve, sis,” said William, tak
ing his geat upon the neap of the
sled and brandishing his long |
whip, “vou look like the genius of |
Phanksgiving going round on a ‘
tour of inspection among the brick
oveus, and your team is almost as |
fanciful as the reindeers of St.
Nieholas.” :
It grew more and more fanciful
momentarily, forit soon began to
rain, and as the fine pelting drops
froze as they fell, the whole turn
out was transformed into an exhi
bition of ice newly frozen for the
occasion from the Avetic region.
After having been round the
‘ sqitare and picked up all the Dra
per blood in the township they re
l traced their steps, stopping at
'nearly every hoanse for a merry
| interchange of greetings, “just to
ilm\uk the gloom that the storm
t‘ had cast over everything,” Wil- 1‘
| liam sakl. Dut at every house it
‘ was noticeable that he- threw out a
few sugeestive words to the boys
| that set them thinking there wos
| no- fan quite so desirable for
\ Thanksgiving day as breaking
| steers.
\ The merriment of the morning
was kept up through the day by
the young people, while Mother
Draper and Aunt Catherine mov
ed mysteriously about and com
pared notes over dripping-pans,
sauce-pans and pipkins in the
kitchen.
Dinner was to be early, so that
the two Draper boys who were
employed upon the railroad that
cut in twain the broad aeres of
their father’s farm could be back
at the station at train time in the
afternoon.
Aunt Catherine’s lovely daugh
ters helping their pretty cousin
Jennie to set the table, of course,
and they managed siyly to have
one plate and one chair too many,
and by a great deal of manwuver
in seating the company, this plate
and chair were left beside Jennie
for the long-expected beau.
- “He hasn’t come yet, and that
isn't the worst of it—l hope he
never will,” said farmer Draper,
looking affectionately ncross the
table at his daughter as he bowed
his head to ask the blessing.
“F believe he is coming now,
uncle; 1 really do,” exclaimed
Louise the moment the good far
mer had re-opened his eyes, and
sure enough, as they looked out of
tae window they saw a stoutly
built young man bravely breasting
the storm, yet showing a cerlain
wenriness as he walked along the
slippery way. ‘
The weather had changed again
by this time, and the air was full
of great feathery finkes, as if all
the feathers of all the fowls that
groeed that day’s dinner in New
England had been east to the foul
winds.
“He is coming in!’ “No he is
going by 17 Yes, he has decided to
call!” as the young man, who was
evidently a stranger, looked agsin
at the polished windows that even
on the outside gave a hint of
wurmth and good cheer within,
“Bow-wow-wow!” barked Pinel
ers the house-dog, in a decidedly
equivocal welcome, e:speci:elly
when taking into econsideration
his huge proportion and savage
air, and the stranger was turning
away @5 the piazza door opened
and John called out:—
“Down, Priuchers, down! Come
in, come in, sir, out of the storm!”
“I tanks yer,” said the stranger,
giving his hat and coat a shake,
thus divesting them of their bur
den of snow, and following John
divectly anto the dinning-room,
and with a graceful bow to the
company, seating himself by the
fire.
We were expecting you,” said
John. “We have the table set
for you as you may sce. Sit right ‘
up.”
“Yee, yes,” assented farmer '
Draper; “sit right up, you are
cold and tived, of course, but that
isn't fhe worst of it, you must be
hungry, too. You can get warm
and rested and filled af the table.”
Louise, to carry on the joke, and
to treat Jennie's long-expected
beau with due cordiality, pusied
back the vacant chair, and Jeunie,
not to be cut-done, glancing up
and seeing a comely, neatly-dress
ed young man at her eibow, gave
him osie of her sweetest rmiles,
motioned him to the seat br-si«lnl
her and passed his plate to her
father to be helped. ,
The stranger evidently under- |
stood very little of all the merry |
talk going on around the board,
but he sat down in the proffered
chuir, bowed his head for a mo
ment as if invoking a silent bless
ing, and then proceeded with his
meal.
“You haf larga family,” he said
| presently to the farmer, carvefully ‘
‘studyiug his words, “and you haf
‘much meat,” looking around with
‘ evident astonishment at the groan
‘in,-_{ ’ml»h‘*, for Mother Draper and
Auwnt Catherine hekl to the old
fashion that overything belcmg'!
ing to the Thanksgiving dinner
must be on the table before the
family were geated. '
“We don't live like this right
along,” axplained the fariner,
“and that isn’t the worst of it—we
don’t want to. This is Thanks
giving.”
AllL this to the disgust of Wil-
Jiam, who was expostulating: “Oh,
goodness, father, why don’t you
make him believe that this is only
‘n pick-up dinner?
| The young people all joined in
a laugh at this, but the stranger
Dawson, Ga., Thursday, January 11, 1883.
repeated:
“Thanksgiving? Thank you!—
Thank God! I see! T know I
hear about it. I not kmew if to
day. Lvery door I eall Ifind
good smells, like Chrismast at
home. No one says ‘come in’
Here dog say ‘walk in' You
‘welcome,” and the young man
looked gratelully into John's face,
and went on with his dinner, with
a hearty relish, e
“Gracious! See him lay in for
supplies,” said John, passingthe
onions. “Don’t infliet such a
stow-away upon us, Jennie. I
verily beleive it is the “Robin to
bobbin, the big-bellied Ben, that
we used to read about in the
Mother Goose book.” "
“Goose! Gooss!” cried the stran
ger, nodding toward the skeleton
of the turkey, “I understand, I
think, this be Yankee Christmas.”
“Something of the sort,” said
the farmer, “but isn't the worst of
itr»—(_.‘hristmm.s is yet to come.”
“Where aro you going?” asked
one of the boys, and after the
question had been framed in vari
ous weys he said:
“To Canada. There I haf
friends. A mistake I made 1
come to the wrong town you call
’it? I write] letters. T ispend all
my moneys. Igo walking now to
Canada and find my friends,
my brother. Now how many
mileg?”
“Too many for a fellow to walk
this slippery traveling,” said
| John.
l “I say, Dick, old boy,” to his
brother, “what do you say to put
lt’.ing hiin in the caboose mid giving
him a BE6?
l “All right,” said the good-na
tured young freight conductor.
"‘lw’: would be a good dead f‘nr,
Thanksgiving day. I will trans
l‘r.'ur him at the Essex Junction to- |
|morrow morning, if I don't g»l
through, and he'll be in the ‘Do- ‘
-mirion before he knows it.” I
’ “Put him up a luneh, mother,
enough to -last him out (>fflx<rl
!c~ antry, and save yoar tears, Jen, !
he will undoubtedly retiirn when ho |
gets better use of our language.
It would be love-making uader
difficulties at present.”
Jennie looked indignant, but the
intelligent -young stranger, al
though observant and alert, was
entirely obhlivious to the personal
allusion.
Mother Draper packed a strong
good-size paper bag with lunch,
saying, with tears: ““There was
never such good-hearied boy: s
my boys.” and Aunt Catherine,
who had a boy of her own some
where in the far West, gave the
stranger a dollar as she bade him
good-bye. :
The steer team was taken in the
midst of another snow furiyand
es the merry company went back
through the pretty sholtered
neighborhood they found an es
cort in the way of a steer team
waiting in every door yard, so that
by the time they reached the little
village about the railway station
the Draper turned-out a decidedly
unique procession,
The stranger asked . great many
not very eoherent questions. The
boys amuased themselves by assur
ing him it was a demonstration in
his honor, it being the eustom of
the town to thus enisriain for
eigners. The girls entered iuto
pariiculars and explainad the real
ocession of the display of young
bovines, and it would have been
hard to {ind a more bewildered in- '
dividual than was bowed iuto the
freight caboose by the smiling l
John, while all the boys, who
were daucing around, managing
tiie half-broken steers, united in a
hearty hurral, and all the girls on
all the sieds waved their pocket
handkerchiefs in adieu.
“What you do with me?’ the
stranger asked, looking around the
snug, well-warmed car.
k “Canadar,” repliod Dick, imita
ting the traveled’s pronunciation.
|, “No monoy!” and- the young
man procecdad to turn his pockets
inside out, wherenpon Dick ex
plained to the amusement of him
self and his comrades and the in.
creased bowilderment of the stran.
ger, that he had- a lien on the
railroad and all the stock unti
his next month’s wages were
l paid.
“He was sound astecy 9% oné o
the bunks in the caboose wudn wi
;»reuchvd Essex,” said Diek “and I
tarned him over to Ber Leet and
told Tvim fo shove him through in
to the Dominicun and not let the
custom-house officers at St Ar
mand eolleot duty on the frag
ments of mother’s turkey and
mince pis,”
- Thanksgivings came and went,
and every year at the Draper
homestead they talked over that
snowy Thankogiving when “Jen
nie's beau” sat down to the feast,
and wondered who he was and
what came of him and what kind
of an opinion of a New England
Thanksgiving he carried away.
Last year at 2 convention where
there wereassembled in Christain
fellowship people from all parts of
the world, a Frenchi gentleman
said to a lady with whom he was
conversing:
““I have never been in the States
but once before and then I had a
curious experience. I landed in New
York froma French ship with only
a smattering of English. I wanted
to go to my friends in Bedford,
Canada, but through carelessness of
officials I wassent to Bedford, Mass.
I found my mistake there and was
started for my proper destination,
but my money gave out, and being
young and strong and resolate I
determined not to be discouraged
but to make my way on foot. It was
late 13t the fall. ¥ had no trouble in
obtaining food and shelter at night
and pushed on bravely until a snow
stormu overtook me. Oh, what a day
that was! called at many doors bm
was not invited to enter. At last,
when aimost wearied but, I reached a
house that was to me like an entrance
info teaven. I pinched myself to
see if 1 wasstill in the body. There
was warmth and a feast and laughter
and jest and sony and little children
and young ladies in bright dresses.
I was welcome and a plate waited for
ive. Alter the feast I was taken
with all the guests on a huge slod
drawn by oxen to the station. Oth
er similar teams joined ‘ours in the
long wiic country street. They
eseorted ma to the station and into
the cars and [ was sent to my friends
free of churge,
““Whenl recovered fromn my fatigne
l:md wanted to write and thank my
friends, I knew not the town, the
State nor the uunes even of my en
tertziners and preservers, as I may
cali them. Iknew nothing of it at
‘all no more than a baby, and now I
will ask you a 5 I have asked others ;
do you kiow aught of such a country
festival, where long strings of oxen
xre driven about tho streets carrving
guests frowr house to house, and
where it is the custom to ¥o bounti
fulls provide for any stranges that
happens to come in on that day? I
wish I could know, for I never have
seent suck a pictwre of happiuess, con
tent and plenty as the Lord led me
to look upon that afternoon. All
these ycars I have carriad those peo- J
ple near iny heart and prayors that
the Lord would lead me again into
their mils.” ‘
“L wasone ¢f the girls at that nota
ble feast,” said the lady, and she en
tered into the necessary explanation
to tire surprise and delight of the
now well-to-do, intelligent, demon
strative Fronch gentleman.
Farmer Uraper said the other dav
as hie et this nicce in a railway tvain.
“Yes Lonise, that young tramp, aswe

- From a Lady.
Monroz Advertiser.
Mr. Editoy: In view of the ecom
ing temperance question, 1 think it is
the duty of every one to do what he
or she feels they can do for the
canse. Though women are not al
lowed to yote, yet they ean work in
more than one way for the cause of
temperance. They and their chiid
ren know and feel more sensibly the
curse of strong drink than do tho e
who drink. 1 mean they are the
principal sufferers. TLewr sufiviings
are known all over the land; and it is
aseless to mention them, Feeling,
therefore, strongly impressed that I
may be instrumental in saving some
one from the suere into which he
has fallen, I may bumbly ask you to
repriut the following reasons why
men should not drink. I think they
are the best that can be given. If
therefore, after reading and then re
flecting upon them, they do noi turn
loose their hold on strong drink, I
think there is not much chance for
them Learafter.
A Frrexp 10 Travrperavon,
REASON 8§ WHY I WILL NOT DRINK.,
Ist. I will not drvink for. the sake
of the dead. Ihave a father wohse
spirit, Itrust, is asleep in Jesus; and
I would not dishonors his name, nor
disregard his example, nor forsake
hig counael. ;
Znd. I will not dvink for the sake
of the living. T hwvo a dear mother,
aged and infirm, who teuderly cared
for me in my childboo.d, and through
the years of niy nianhood, still watch
-3 with solicitude the interests of her
son that he may be uscful asa man,
and be a comfort 1o her in her declin
ing years, I would not add one pain,
nor one sigh, nor one tear to the
affiictions which age necessarily
brings.
Srd. I will not drink for my wife’s
sake. T have solemnly sworn before
God to promote her happiness and
to provide her a comfortable living.
I have sworn to love her as my owwn
body, and to make her inferests my in
tevests. Iwill not degrade, dishonor
and destroy her whe-ofi the pleasant
home of her parents to shave with me
the fortunss of life.
4th. T will not drink for my echil
dren’ssake. They are innocent and
helplessly look to me for food, pro
tection and instvauction. I would
not inflict wrong npon those helpless
oues by depriving thewm of those com
forts and entailing p rvorty, want and
wretchedness. I would not make

| HOWTO WASH A BABY. .
| Miss Mary sHobart’s beetnic"“
With a Live Baby as an ilius<
| tration. So
From the Chicago Herald. i
Thirty women listened thirty mins
utes last Saturday night, in the Frank<
lin Institate, Philadelphia, to Miss
Mary Hobart, who told them “How to
Washand Dress & Baby.” The lee~
ture was illustrated. The iliustration
was kindly furnished by a young
mother in the audience. It had a red
face, very bright eyes, a wee bit ofa
nose, and & voice. The lecturer a frosh
faced,handsome woman, began by ex
plaining how to wash and dress a new
born infant with out drowning it ina
basin or causing it to burst by tight
bandaging. White Oastile soap is the
proper thing to wash 3 babe with said
she, and the water should be at a tem~
perature of 1000. The babe should
not be washed a little at a time. Its
liead, face and earsshould be attended
to first, and then the entire bod; should
be immersed in the water,
The illustration was placed in a deep
basiu filled with water, and the illus
tration manifested ite disapprobation
by a howl. In dryiug the chi'd, com
tinued Miss Hobart, as she lifted the
squalling bit of bumanity ous of the
bath, do uot rub the child much, but
pat it carefully until dry: Rub its
back if you like —that pleases a babe.
Then powder it with stareh of Bermu
da arrowroot, and the squaller was lib
erally besprinkled with a white pow
der. Souie mothers, said the lecturer,
in drying a childs ear, dig it out in
this way. The illustration blinked its
eyes, vickeredup its mouth; #nd let
vt towild yell. Use a soft rag wound
the livtle finger, and, as the action
suitel to the word, the illustration
crowed cratefullys In dresving, weut
on the peaker, the bandages should
be lovse enough to slip two fingers un
derneath, and as the babe was deftly
turned oy its stomach it grunted a sat
isfied grunt. Then came the ticklish
operat'on of pinniug the band-—Miss
flobart showed how to do 1t awithout
sticking the pin wore than a sixteenth
of an inch into tLe baby's back, a pro
ceeding, she said, that nearly all in
faats objected to. The leeturer advis~
cd that where it was_ practicable and
could be done properly the broad linne
straps should be sewed and not pinned.
Iu putting on the babe’s socks, contin
ued the protem mother, cleverly thrust
ing a little pink foot Ito its woolly
covering, he careful about tootsey-woot=
sey's ittle toes. 'K don’t like ’e 'ittle
toes all turned up, do’e? and the ilius
tration lifted up its voice and howled
a denial,
Miss Hobart then took a small picce
of rag and washed out the child’s mouth
sowething, she said, that showld be
done after each meal. General advico
was then given on keeping the baby
away from astrong light ; how to han
dle it properly, and how to soothe it to
sleep when fretful. —The lectures was
conclunded by a practical illustratioy,
showing how to change the bed eloth
ing expediously and without discomfort
to the mother. The babe, comfortabiy
dressed and crowing with delight, was
banded back to its mother, and tble
audience dispersed.
How Toombs Came it Over
stenheus.
Appropos of Gen. Toombs’ visit at
this time to Washington, a story ip
told of Hon. Alexander H. Stepheus,
uow Guvernor of Goorgia, as to how
Gen, Toombs beat bim out of the
United States Senatorship in Georgis
prior to the war. Mr. Stephena said
that he was very anxious for the Seos
torship and that many of his friends’
and some newspapors had made very
favorable weution of bim for the place.
Toombs, who also wanted to come to’
the Senate, but had made wo move i
that direction, seoing the beadway
Stephens was making and knowing hé
(Toowbs) could be elected if he conld
ouly get Stephiens out of the way, ses
about to secure that end. “Phe firsi
thing he did,” said Stephens “was to
come over to my house one day on his’
way to court, knowing that I was going’
over myself to attend to some business -
& always rode horseback in those duys,"
and Toowmbs knew it. So he drove
up omy houseina buggy just as I
was about to get on my horse, and
said: ““Hello Aleck, where are you
goning?” To court, too. Have your
d—d old Lovse put up and ride with'
me iy buggy. 1 had my horse put
v and got into the bugey with
Toowbs and we went along for about
two wiles when we got to a oreok.
Toowmbs stopped the horse, got out and*
loosened the rein so the animal could
dridk. While he was doitg this, he
said: Aleck, I see some of the pa-~
- pers are bringing you out for Senator.
Do you want it? T replied that I dig
F:.ut cave anything’ at all for it. A
| quick oy thought he said: Well.
| Aleck, if you dou't want itlde. ¥
|am crazy after It. So, I want yon &’
! pull off y ur coat , roll up your sleeves’
! and go to work for me.” So, you sve’
| o sheated me out of the Nonator thip.*
