A thanksgiving story. ■n was the greatest mistake of my lit,. ” Parson Ely was so in the habUof savin? it that his friends gather. <1 around ’he Thanksgiving table, looked up from their good ehe-r and waited, with amused expression, to see what was the last . error ’ ’ ed bv the tender conscience of their self-accusing pastor as the greatest in a life, in which he had already chronicled so many Parson Ely was an impressionable, impulsive man, full of enthusiasm for any good S which appealed to h>s better fe-lings and sense of right, but timid and very dependent upon popularsupnort, the opinion of others somehow strangely atiected his opinion of himself and his actions. Sometime before, a wave of the great Washingtonian movement had swept over the little village of Poneoeke, multitudes of names were appended to the total abstinence pledge, that of the impulsive pastor standing high unon the pledge-roll, while his interest ”£d . . tlmsiasm carried forward the meetings and lectures, and assisted to lash public sentiment up to a white heat But all excitements necessarily h ’ve their reactions, and even so was it in Poneoeke. The Washingtonian lecturers went their way to other'towns, which equally needed their services. The “reformed men. such as were really reformed, quietly took their places among other industrious citizens, and lost their temporary prominence, while others, having only been swept along m the general enthusiasm of the moment, and not having been pointed to the religious as the only true basis of reformation, soon fell away, and brought terrible disgrace upon the cause Then the moderate drinkers ai.d the respectable poiti cis of the commumtv whose present •-rains or paternal fortunes w relar_e y involved in the manufacture and sale of New England rum, and to whose unenlightened consciences a distillery was as innocent a possession as a flour mill is to us, began to take courage and aav - “I told you so.” Thev said it in the parson s ears in a most uncomfortable way, for many of them were his elders and deacons, his church-members in the highest standing, and from whom his salarymust of necessity come. Some of them thought—there were such men in those days—that the latter circumstance gave t em a right to dictates to heir pastor’s actions not only, but also as to nis own private opinions of right and wrong and so they gave him a lively time with their comments upon his recent position, declaring that radicalism such as his must inevitable prejudice his pulpit and pastoral influences. Home went so far a-tosavthat in signing a pledge the minister had done .bsiionor to his ordination vows, which ought to cover Temperance as well as all other kinds of godliness, and others that he had introduced schism into the church by joining au outside society. Aud the noor pastor, self-distrustful, as usual, went round with his head bowed like a oulrush, vain.y bemoaaing his inability to undo the work of that enthusiastic impulse. It was when th hard cider, which always preceded ap le-jack, berry! and other well known compounds at th.- Thanksgiving festivals of those davs was passed first to the minister, who'iefused it with a painful flush, that he added to his tremulous denial the phrase so familiar to his hearers: •■lt was the greatest mistake of my life ” “How a mistake?” said one present who, having recently returned to his home, which he had left during th excitement of the temperance movement, was not acquainted with the present reaction tn public sentinient “I remember hearing you sav parson, that when you put your Bigi’.ature to that pledge it was the| h ippiest moment of your life, and th it you felt as though your influence with this people would be redoubled by this act.” “Did I sav that? Well, I was excited and enthusiastic. It was a great mistake, I ha-e lost all my influence, the beet people don’t come to the service as they used to. my elders are estranged, and I fear there will be tr üble in the church before we are through with this thing. •*Wby uol put uu end t*’ it tiitn, and break that foolish, pledge once for all?” said his host, courteouslyottering the Thauksgi ring, eider. “I havegiven my word. s.u< the uastor faintlv but firmly; “a man s wrnrd is as good as his bond they say, and a pledge of a minister of the holy •rospel ought to be as sacred as the fmmutable word of Jehovah himself. Forgive mv seeming discourtesy; 1 am Diedged to total abstinence as long as my life shall last, and though the promise be a foolish one, God helping me, I'll keep it Os course, courtesy forbids that more should be said; tHe con vernation drifted to other things; full justice was done to turkeys, pies and other good things, and dinner being o er, the company adjourned to the seldom used “best room,” where there were nuts and apples, more hard cider and plenty of New England rum, then, at the “gloaming,” horses were “bitched." and the whole company set forth

towards their hornet*. The minister was ill at ease He had not enjoyed those thanksgiving festivities. His singularity had, he felt, thrown what is familiarly known a wet blanket upon the company; his influence with those young people was gone; they would no longer look upon him as a genial, friendly pastor, whose sympathy they might ded as he attempted to draw them » — n .l tit*.* zvlalor niiaii nun.

see what it could be, found a cart, which two rough-looking men were busy in unloading. On the top lay a fine turkey, attended by two pairs of fat chickens, all prepared for roasting and sure to keep in this cold weather. Then came three barrels of apples, golden fall pippins and Spitzenbergs and Baldwins, hard amt sound tor winter’use. Next came five bushels of potatoes, and underneath lay in square-ended logs, half a load of good hard tire-wood. “It's a present, parson, from the people down to the mills.” said one of the men, as having finished unloading, and put all the things where the minister’s one servant suggested, he first became aware of that gentleman himself, “an’ I was ter say, least wise the ould 'ooman tould me ter, that its a Thauksgivin’ present ’cause yer got the men to sign the pledge. Ter see we was that given to the drink that we didn't have nothin', m»t hardly enough to put in the babies’ mouths, an’ no shoes nor nothin’ nice to send the childer to Sunday school in, aud my ould 'ooman and me, we felt bad about it, because in the ould counthry they always went to the school where the genthry was, regular, an when the timperance speaker came along, Mike, that’s the bhoy that lives foruinst me, sez: “ ‘Pat,’ sez he, ‘if ye’ll soign the pledge 1 will shure.’ “Thin, sez I,‘No shure, I wont, this is a free counthry, an’ if the rich men is free to dhrink their wine an’ their cider, I’m free to have my w hisky an’ my rum, shure.’ But we wint to the matin” and when we saw you, parson, stip up an' sign the pledge, Mike sez: “ ‘Thar, now, Pat, there’s one of the genthry signed away his liberty, just to set au example, for shure the minister isn’t fond of the dhrink, so lets you an'me sign too;’ an’ we did, tin’ we got lots of other fellers in the mill ter sign, too. We’ve all kep’ our pledge, for we’re dacent people from the north, an’ we’d be ashamed to go back on our word, an’ somehow the money’s stuck to us iver since. The homes look clane an’ tidy now, and the childer’s got enough to ate, an’ my ould ’oowan thought it would be nice-like fur us all to put together some o' our savins an’ sind ye a Thandsgivin' present, 'cause we’d never a signed but for you.” “My dear fellow, I am very much obliged,” said the impulsive minister, touched in his innermost sensibilities; “< ut do I know any of you, are you my people, do you come to my church? ” “Wedidn’t use to go to meetiu’ much, we men went to the tavern Sundays, and the women staid an’ claned up. But we were well, brought up at home, and afther givin’ updhrinking we got ter thinkin’ o’ the old times, an’ some on us have ’tended pretty reg’lar, yer might 'a seen us all together in the back seats. But it's a long way ter come, a matter of over two mileq an’ the wimmin an’ children can’t walk so tar; besides we haven’t all got good clothes to come among gentle folks. So we thought if we might be so bold, we’d l ax yer to come over some time an' preach to us in the dryin’ room of a Sunday afternoon; the overseer sez we may have the use of it, an’ we bhoys will fix up the seals.” ■ Come! of course I will, every Sunday afternoon, if you waut me,” said the pastor, his thanksgiving anthem swelling up at this opportunity for extended work in his Master’s vineyard. And he kept his word, finding a most attentive and devout congregation, trained in the rev< rent churchliness of the Scotch Presbyterianism of the north of Ireland. He went again and again, and God greatly blessed his ministrations, pouring out a large spiritual baptism in answer to his piayers. From the “drying room’’ of the mill the fire Spread to the church in the village and multitudes of souis there openly professed the faith of Christ.

Years afterwards, w hen the temperance movement had taken its place anion; the other legitimate objects of Chi istian labor and prayer, and it was looked upon as a rather disgraceful thing in Poneoeke for as a church member to own a distillery, Parson Ely, standing with the popular side now, would often tell the story of the Thanksgiving of 18—, and pointing to the flourishing condition of his church, as well as of that which had been built at the mills, would oiler to God thanksgiving for that “greatest mistake of his life.” A Prodigious Pair of Feet. Sandusky, Ohio, has produced a pair of feet the size of which has never been equaled. The lasts for the feet spoken of are now being made at the factory of Graves & Ball, in Prayn street, in this city, and will be completed in a few days. They are eighteen inches long, and seven and one 1 half inches wide, the other measureI meuts being as follows. For the right foot, heel, 22,? 4 inches; instep. 19%; ball, 19%; ankle, 18; top of shoe, 17. The left toot is somewhat smaller, the measurement being, heel, 19 inches; instep, 18% ; ball, 19' 4 : ankle, 14; top, 16. The size is 27%. The owner of this prodigious pair of feet is Fanny Mills, of Sandusky. She is said to he of medium high, is 21 years of age, weighs 158 pounds, measures 36 inches round the calf of the leg—the other dimentions not given. When the lasts are finished, Charles Shoemaker & Co., of Broadway, near Columbia street, will make a pair of shoes for Miss Mills, who, it is understood, w-ill hereafter go about the country and exhibit her feet. This is the largest pair of lasts ever made in this or any other country, and the work is being done by John J. Ball, brother of Irayton Ball, and the oldest hand worker at lasts in the United States. When the Midgets were on exhibition here two or three years ago, he made a pair of lasts for one of them which measured three and threefourths inches long and one and three eighths inches wide, forming a.singular contrast with the pair intended for Miss Mills. The lasts, together with the shoes, when completed, will be placed on exhibition for a few days before being sent west. —[Albany Express.] _

Crane Dance. The following yarn is from theChieago Tribune: A hunter from Minnesota describes a crane dance seen by him recently in that State. At a mile I distant from where he and his com-i paniors st' od were seen, on a low, | sandy spot of ground, fifteen cranes in a row. There was one which appeared to be the leader, who strutted up and down the line like a drum major. First the center pair of cranes would waltz out about five feet from the line,salute each other, touch tneir hills, and polka around to the ends. Then the next pair would come out | as did the first, and repeat the perfor-I mance with perhaps more skill and grace. Some appeared very awkward, and were apparently beginners, while others were graceful in their movements. After watching them an hour or so, the four hunters went toward them with the intention of getting near enough for a shot, but the revelers became frightened, and flew away The hunters say they nev- , er laugh d so heartily as they did over - this remarkable performance.

tCST-i rjHaiirniTi-IT—f—TTT— — Burial of the British Flag. The Transvaal Argus of the fith of i August contains a Tong account of a ceremony which took place on the 3d in Pretoria. A number of Englishmen there had decided to “commit to the earth the emblem of their country’s greatness.” This was regarded as “a solemn and emphatic protest against the treatment which British subjects and the British flag had received at the hands of the British government.” The funeral was arranged to take place as nearly as possible at the time when it was expected the convention would be signed. A vehicle draped with black was provided, drawn by two horses clothed in sables. Inside the carriage a raised platform was placed to receive the coffin, upon the lid of which the following inscription was placed: “In loving memory of the British flag in the Transvaal, who departed this life on the 2d of August, 1881, in her fifth year. ‘ln other climes none knew thee but to love thee. Resurgam.” The coffin which contained the Hag was placed upon the platform provided amid deepest silence and the uncovered heads of the people assembled. About 350 white people followed the hearse, and a large number of Kaffir chiefs and their retinue fell in, making the total number about 600 in the procession. On arrival at the grave the coffin was taken from the hearse and lowered into the place prepared for it “with the greatest reverence and decorum,” and an oration was delivered referring to the glories associated with the British flag for a thousand years—a flag now “laid low in the dust, wounded to the heart by an unkind thrust, shorn of a portion of her honor.” At the head of the glare was placed a tombstone bearing the same inscription n- that on lhe coffin. A Monkey’s Babies. About six months ago an admiring friend of Louis Seidler, the south side saloonist, presented him with a pair of Marmosette monkeys. They are strange looking animals, and have always attracted attention. They are natives of Brazil, and are a cross between a monkey and a squirrel, having the color and fur of the latter and the face of the former. In size they are between a small monkey and a large squirrel. They are very intelligent and know Mr. 8. very well. Sunday night the tamale gave birth to two little ones, one of which died but the other is alive and health} . The mother cried bitterly for a while over the dead one, but «x>n reconciled herself with the other. It is about the size of a mouse, and is the pet and pride of the male. The female holds it and suckles it as a mother would her babe, but as soon as the little one is satisfied the male takesit. and with a wonderful expression of wisdom and dignity, marches up and down the cage in a manner that one to laugh in spite of himself.—i Wheeling Intelligence.

Love and her daughter, Barah E, McDowell, tried and convicted of conspiracy aMI forgery In the procurement of a pension for a son, were sentenced in the. United States Court to-day to two-years’ isa-. priseament in the Westmoreland county, jail and to pay a fine of S2OO and costs of prosecution. Mrs. Love is about seventy years of age and her daughter forty. They have always moved in respectable society. They were not sent to the ]>enitentiary on account of the advanced age of she mother and from the conviction of the court that they had no conception of the wrong they weredoing, having been led astray by a Washington claim agent. An effort will be made to secure their pardon. After sentence had been pronounced, mother and daughter fell into each other’s arms and wept bitterly. The spectators were much affected, and it was one of | the saddest cases ever seen in a court I | room.—(Chicago Tribune.
