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 cailed bim, you know, turved out to be cur own little old maidsbeen after all.

VOL. 17—NO. 46. - 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 paupers, vagabonds and ertminals of my own children. I would not have disgraceand blasiane ] memory curs e wy nams and family to the third and fourth gencration. I woald not cast a dak shadow over the Jife of a bu man being 50 near to me as my child _ ren by leaving a record writlen in all the crimes of intemperanee.

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.
