Thanksgiving. Time of the clear, crisp air and the frosta at mora; Hark to the ringing outdoor games and glee! fihaxne on the duris and the long-faco ways torlorn Lctjollil Ilare her hour, her turn at heartsome living. Bd hot P.iankJffivtng! Indoors the hearth-tire glow and the faces Line; Fhlne the tables, too. -with their poodlj cheer. Tensive thoughts and dreams of the long ago. These be here. But subtly changed to Joy by time's aura leaven. Far and wide the kin-ties stretch, and call Shattered circles back to the banuts of youth; Ah. how ocagic-dcar these meetings all! Such days. In eooth. Foreshape ns for that larger home which men name Heaven. Richard Burton, In Christian Union.

A WAY TH.iT SHE KNEW NOT A THANKSGIVING STORY. The crisis in Mrs. Wayne's life reached her, without arDinjr, in the midst of a stupid, commonplace day. It usually happens so. The supreme moznects of life come to ns heralded by no liana or wonders. The eonl. when it is to hn tried, is conscious of no mysterious forebodings casting their 6hadowe before. Tragedies, as a rule, put on paltry disguises to os and grimace as burlesque. The love which is to lilt a man closer to God or to kill his soul touches him first on a street car, throutfh a girl'i curl or giggle. Death grapples with him iii a bit of undigested fish, or a fenitf of gutter air. The fatal Korea no longer dwell on the cloudy heights; they go np and down the streets, fostled by newsboys and milkmen. There really seemed to be no reason why Mrs. Wayne should have been chosen as the victim for such a strange stroke cf the lance of Fate, rihe dittered in no way from thousands of other commonplace matrons except in that she was more gentle and in decisive than are most American women. She was, too, very rich. Her money bad come to her at tbe death of her brother, 1'eter Boycr, a well-known speculator in Wall street. It ran so far up into the mil lions as to becomo a weight, shouldered first by her husband, and at his death by her man of atlair-, John Banks, who sup ported his family handsomely on the salary which she paid him. She never asked about his investments, but managed to spend the income pleasantly and rationally enough. That rery morning she had been wondering how David, her son, would spend his share of it. when she put it into his hands. Tbe lad, as a child, had been full of ambition, and had elected to go into West Point, There was more chance for adventure and distinction, he said. in a soldier's career than in anj other. He had been a cadet for two years, and was at home now on furlough. The family were at the Cliff on the Long island coast, which was Mrs. Wayne's favorite of all her houses. The estate was a small principality. The house had been a mere fishing lodge when Peter lioyce was the owner, but she bad built a large graystone mansion, full of solid comfort, and not without a certain air of sober splendor. Mrs. Wayne's tastes leaned to the side of m a gni licence. That mornin g David, as he swung lazily In the hammock, had said: "i am ulad, mother, that you never have farmed any of this property, but have left it all in timber. I think if you will give it to me I shall stock the lakes with trout and preserve the game. In two or three years the place lhould aftord excellent sport.'1 "lint not for you, David, if 70a are out on the frontier." David blow a leisurelrring of smokeinto the air. and watched it vanish. "Oh, yon mean when 1 am in the army? But lam pot going into the army. 1 shall resign next year. It ia lolly for a man of my wealth to make a dredge of himself eyea In uniform." Uh. 1 did not know!" said Mrs. Wayne, feebly. David fell asleep presently and she scanned his face anxiously over her book. There was a change in ic Perhaps only a mother's eye conld see it. but undoubtedly the change was there. The features had grown gross and heavy, there was a sensual droop in the thick eyelids, the eyes when he awoke suddenly were red and bloated; all the youthful tire had gone out of them. Only a little while ago her boy's Iook met hers gay, saucy, innocent as a girl's. Now Why had ebe been so slow to take the alarm! Could it have been this that old General Coles meant when he called ou her last week and talked of tbe temptations to lead an aimless, sensual life wbieh beset every American lad born to inherit great fortune! She saw it now. He had meant David; he was trying to warn her. The boy rose and lounged across the lawn. What could she do! She stood np looking after him. .Mrs. Wayne was a shy. reticent woman on all matters of religious feeling. Since David was a child she never probably had spoken to him as if God had anything especially to do with him. She bad cared anxiously for his clothes, his manners, and bis health, and was keenly jealous of his love for herself; but as for ins soul, she r.ever had dared to speak to him of that! How could she begin now! The poor lady went into the house with these incoherent thoughts rushing through her brain, wbieh usualiy knew Do anxiety greater than that of a new menu or gown. Hex daughter generally decided these difficulties for her. he went to find her now. Maggy would know what to do. Mairiry was cool and clear-headed, and loved her brother dearly. Margaret was seated at her desk, on which was a pile of Spanish dictionaries. She had no talent for languages, bnt had already mastered three, tobe had David's ambition, but bad besides a dogged energy in gaining her ends. She pushed aside her books, and listened while Mrs. Wayne told her story. "I wondered, mother," she said, ''that fou did not see the change in him be lore, t has been long in coming." What can 1 do. Maggy! If I talked to him" "Talking has no effect I have argued and pleaded till 1 am tired" The girl rose and walked np and down the room, as she always did when greatly excited. "There

is no way to take hold of David. If he had any incentive, any ambition or hope! But he has everything he wants. He is simply a rich man who can buy as muoh of the world as be chooses. He will be eatislied to lie down aud become more of an animal every day. God knows that 1 love htm, but I see no helo for him." "I can pray," said Mrs, Wayne, under her breath. Maggy gave her a strange glance. "Yes, jon can pray," she said, quietly. She sat down. Mrs. Wayne waited, silent for a few minntes. hoping that Maggy would give her some comlort; but she had leaned her head back and closed her eyes, a if she would shut out the matter forever. 'She does not understand poor. David!" her mother thought, looking at her. There was no danger that Margaret ever would subside Into a contented animal. She had little beauty beyond that of youth aud uperb health and an eager, bright courage, which at times gave to the girl a look ot exaltation straneeiy alluring. She caught her mother's arm as she rose. Stop, mamma. Put David out of yocr mind for a minute. Think of me. I have something to tell you." "Von have accepted him!" "Him! You mean the Prince! Nobody else wishes me to marry him. Of course yon mean the Prince." Mrs. Wayne put her arm about her, and looked into her pale, agitated face. 'You know there is some one else. Have you ac-ptrd thia Italian. Matey!" "No; butyou will receive formal proposals from his father. We must decide. You do not like him because he is a foreigner. You are nninst, mamma. Yoa think it is my money ho wants." "Yon have a great deal of money, dear, and Italian princes are usually very needy." "No; you are prejudiced. Mamma, dear. The man is not a fraud nor aarhenier. He has some of tbe bet Mood of En rope in his veins; and anrely 1 am not so hideous that I may not be loved for myself. Of course, people will say that I ve sold myself for a title; but I did not think my mother would say it." "1 did not sax it. But"-Mrs. Wayne's

eyes filled with t-ars "I married a poor man for love. Maggie, and I thought yoa would do tbe same." Miss Wayne drew coldly away from the soft hold. 'You can spak plainly. Yon mean John Boughton. He never has said that be wished me to be his wife." "He is afraid of your money' said Mrs. Wayne, with energy. "Yoa know that he loves you; but he will never be dependent on his wife. He cannot ask yoa to goto that ranch in Texas. Would you go to it to herd sheep aud cook! Would you!'' Margaret laughed. "Yoa would, yoa dear, romantic woman! I belong to another generation. I have, ambition.' I think I could hold a salon in Konio such ax we read of in the old times. Besides'' with a sudden sob "he never asked me to herd sheepi" She kissed her mother passionately, and hurried out of the room.. Mrs. Wayne mechanically took np her embroidery. She always worked at her embroidery at this time in tho afternoon. But. was she to no on fussing with flosses and patterns when Mangy was selling herself for a title, and David was going to ruin! Shn dropped her silks and began to cry and shiver. If she could do anything! The evils were so great, so terrible, and she was helpless. She started np pale and trembling. Pray! If He loved his mother Mary He would hear a mother who was trying to save her children. He would hear. She went to her own room and locked tho door.

When Mrs. Wayne joined her children in the afternoon in the library there was a bright expectation in her mild blue eyes. She was so sure that He would hear and answer. To-morrow would be Thanksgiving. Perhaps then Maggy would tell her that she had given np this marriage, and David would suddenly become again the good, pure boy he was once. God was allpowerful; he could mako this come to puss. It was at this moment that the ureal event of her life happened to her. It was a cold, rainy afternoon. A log tire bnrued on the hearth. David and Margaret sat before it busy with their newspapers and books. Mrs. Wayne moved restlessly about, taking down a volume from the shelves, glancing into it and replacing it. One of these was a dusty old copy of Montaigne. She opened it, walked to the window, her back to the room, and stood there so long that Margaret -aid: "What are you puzzling over, .Mamma! Can 1 help you!" Mrs. Wayne did not speak for a minute or two. Then she went to tbe shelves and put Montaigne back in his place. "It is very dusty," she said in a faint voice, looking at her hands. "But you cannot help me. Nobody can help me," walking the floor. "Mother, are you ill!" said David, starting up as he saw her face. "1111 No, child. I I must wash my hands." An hour later David saw her coupe drive to the door. A cold rain was falling. He stopped her in the hall. "Why do yon go out in such weather. Mother!" He was always fond and careful of her. She caught hi hand, smiling. "1 must see Mr. Banks. I am going to town." "1 will wire him to come np. Or cannot I attend to the business!" "No, no; 1 must do it! I can do something now! Send for him to come at once, David." She went back to her room and did not return to the library nntil the lawyer oame. David and Margaret were there when he arrived. When their mother entered they rose. "Stay, children," she said. "This is a thing that concerns yon. I want to know that yoa think I am taking tho best course." Mr. Banks looked at her. There was a decision in her voice that startled him. He often had boasted that she was the ideal woman client. She never fussed nor asked questions nor thought for herself. She even drew her regular Income apologetically, as if she were borrowing the money from him. She seated herself and handed him a yellow paper, "i found that to-day," she said. "I did not lose an hour in sending for you. You must go to work at once." "An old bill, eh!" putting on his spectacles. She did net answer, and ho read the paper in eilenen. When he read it be glanced at her sharply and then at tbe carlou face of her children, and tnrned to it dizain. He was a ln-witted man. He understood it already. If it was genuine, it meant poverty for her and her children, and, in consequence, ruin for himself. "Where did you hod tbi(, madam!" he said at last, in a careless tone. "in an old book of which my brother was fond. It has probably never been opened einco his death until to-day." "Do yon know what it isl" turning to David. "Have you 6een it!" "No." "it purports tobe a letter from your uncle. Mr. Peter Boyce, to a woman. Emma Yitry, whom he had secretly married. He speaks of their child. The letter apparently was written but never sent. The woman was living under an assumed name at Flushing, New Jersey." "My uncle was never married!" exclaimed Margaret. "That is tbe ground that we shall stand on certainly," said Mr. Banks, " i his letter may be a forgery part of a scheme of some woman who meats to black-mail the family." "Oh, no!" said Mrs. Wayne'a gentle voice; "it is not a forgery. That is Peter's writing. And the letter must have been there for many years Yoa have no idea of tbe dust! 1 remember Emma Vi try. fehe was my mother's maid, a Cuban, and a very pretty girl." "She and her child are probably dead long ago." said the lawyer, "or thsy would have made a claim at the time of Mr. "Boyce's death even if there had been no legal marriage." David, who had kept silence until now. stepped hastily forward. "But if they are not dead, and if the marriage was legal what then!" Mr. Banks laughed uneasily. "Yon young people do leap over such great gulfs of impossibilities," he said. "Yon do not answer ray question, sir!" "I will answer it, of course. Mr. Boyce left no will. Your mother inherited as the only living relative. If he had a legitimate child, and it is still living, it is the heir." "To all of his property!' "To all of his property. But what a trouble yoa are basing upou nothing! An old scrap of writing about a hypothetical wife and chill!" There was an uneasy silence. "You might have thrown the paper into that tire, nvi mm a." said Margaret, with a nervous laugh, "and nobody would have been a bit the wiser." "Maggy!" exclaimed David. "Your sister is only joking, my son," said Mrs. Wayne. "Wo must lind that poor child, Mr. Banks." "Yes. certainly, madam. The child (if tbero ever was such n child) is an adult now. If it has any claim upon your estate it will press it, of oourse. The onus of proof rests upon the claimant. We contest. He (or she) may not be able to keen up such a ctsrly war. and at worst wo compromise, cheaply enougn." "1 don't quite follow you," said Mrs. Wayne, gently, "it Peter has a living child, of course I shall give up the property to it" Mr. Banks langhed. "If thero was such a child it would have showed itself long ago. Leave tho matter to mo, madam. Yon have done all that is necessary." Mrs. Wayne was not listening to him. "David." she exclaimed, "I know who can help ns! Yonr Aunt Way no. lived in Flushing for years. Sbo know that Vitry girl. Qj to town to morrow and find out what bhe knows." "I will go to-night." said David, glancing at his watch. His hand shook, his features were pinched. "1 wish you ill-luck," said Mr. Banks as be went out. "We can do nothing more to-night!" said Mrs. Wayne. "No. You have done quite enough," said Maggy. "Yoa are in haste to make us paupers, mother." "I had to do it, I could not do anything else." said the poor lady, feebly. Maggy waited until her mother had gon out. "Of courso this is all a foolish scare," she said. Bnt what nave we, Mr. Banks, which we did not inherit from Undo Peter!" "Nothing. Well, your mother has a farm in Virginia which brings her in two hundred a year. It is good ground but never has been properly cultivated." "Two hundred dollars a year for thrre people!" said -Maggie. "How ridioulotit'.'' She laughed merrily enough. Tl thing wa bnt hq ugly dream to her. Wn- h not goin to lv'ome-a princess a beleKi'.nt! It wa kite ou the following afteruoou when David returned. Mr. B inks told his wifeaf forward tuafthe lioy had touched no liquor that day, though he has been driuk-

ing heavily of late. All tho grit there is in him came out, and there is good stniT in those Boyces. It never occurred to him or to his mother to dodge tbe issue. They can be nothing else than honest. Yet. think what it must botoayoonc fellow to give up a vast inheritance like that!" David went straight to the point. "Mr news," he said, "is worse than yoa expect. Mr Aunt Belle remembers Emma Vltrr. She live l in Flushing under the name of Allan, and there was a rumor that some sentloman while drunk had been tricked into marrying her. but his name was not known. She died year before my Uncle Peter. She bad child, a daughter, who was sent to a boarding-school. Suddenly. In March, 1S61, tho payments for her tuition ceased." "That was when your uncle died1 said Mrs. Wayne. "He was bot at Fort Pillow. No doubt the poor fellow meant to acknowledge his daughter when the war was over." "She left the school and went to work in a shop in New Yora. I found her there, and asked if she had any family papers. She had one: and that, the certificate of marriage between. Emma Yitry and John Peterson Boyce. The girl had never been called Boyce and did not suppose that this man was her father. But her face proves it. tihe is very like yon. mother. The case is clear, to my mind." Mr. Banks returned to New York that evening to consult higher legal authority. The family sat down to the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but the turkey and pudding came and went untasted. "1 fail to see the causes for oar thanksgiving," said Maggy bitterly. "And I prayed so for them!" thoughtpoor Mrs. Wavne. "He would not hear!" Presently she said: "Is this shop-girl in any sense a gentlewoman, David! I might ask her np and train her a little." "She is simply impossible," he said curtly. "Let her alone, mamma." said Maggy. "I ought at least to send her to school, my dear." "Yon do not understand, mother." said David. "You will be able to do nothing for her. If sbo takes anything from us she takes all all. 1 hope this matter will come out right for ns. lint if it does not, we will go down to your land in Virginia, and 1 will farm it." "Leave West Point!" cried Maggy. ' Can't yon nn lerstand, .Margaret! Mother will have nothing but her hoy." He jumped up in his old headlong way, and threw himself on his knees before his mother, locking np into her face. Mrs. Wavne pnt her hands on his pale cheeks and looked into Ijm eyes. A great light aud joy came into her own. "My boy has come back to me!" she tatd, too low for him to hear. The law moves slowly, even with honesty like that of the Waynes to urge it. But when luring oame Miss Boyce was in full possession of her rights, bad installed Mr. Banks as her lawyer, and New York had lost sight of Mrs. Wayne and her children. Five years bad passed, when Mr. .Banks, who was called by business into Virginia, rosolved to "iook np those poor Wavnes aud eat his Thanksgiving dinner with them." "And a better dinner," he told bis wifeon his return, "I never tasted. They have very little money, I imagine; but they have a beautiful home and plenty to eat. to do and to read. David has married a daughter of one of the neighboring plantors. a lovely, energetic girl. Mrs. Wayne is kin to half the county, and you know with the Virginians money is of little account blooa is every thin g. They have hosts of friends good, thorough-bred people. Margaret was at borne on a visit That rascally Italian gave her up as soon as she lost her money. But John Boughton you remember John! heard of their misfortune in Texas and ported on to Virginia to carry her back with him. She was willing enough. I suspect. It was an old love affair. Boughton is doing well in Texas; Margaret was a little aggressive in her happiness and pride in the West, and her husband and her baby." "But Mrs. Wayne!" asked Mrs. Banks, anxiously, "she must be miserable as a poor woman!'' On the contrary, she is busy, aud ea:,er, and contented. She need to be a Oor, dead-and-alive creature, yon know. Now, what with her friends, her poultry, her church and her grandchildren, her J if a, is full cf happiness. David has become a leading man in tho neighborhood. 1 heard everywhere of his high sense of honor and bis energy. Poverty has brought out the man from the animal. At dinner I eat beside Mrs. Wayne, and saw how she watched him with pride and delight. I went tbe-re fall of pity and sympathy for her; bnt I tell yon. Louisa. I envied her. In spite of the cheap cnrtains and rng carpAts. 1 envied her. Whon we left the table I said to her; "Nobody, madam, has a better right than yoa to keep Thanksgiving!" Her eyes lilled. "You see." Bhe said, "my girl is happy with the man she loves. God has lifted up my boy. and set his feet on safe ground. There is not a day fhatdawns which ia not thanksgiving day to me." And then she added something which 1 did not qnito understand, though no doubt it had a meaning to her. "God always answers our prayers," she said, "though in a way that wo know not almost always in a way that wo know not." Rebecca Harding Davis, la tbe Independent

Some Advice That If Followed Slay Prevent Disagreeable Happening. Boston Transcript. Don't pat any money in yonr month. It is literally fiithy lucre. A doctor who is in the habit of disinfecting the money that comes to her, calls it one of her charities. Yet the coin or creenbark that at best is far from immaculate, aud ma.vbe foul with disease, is held between her lips by some girl while, she searches for a nickel to pay her car fare with, or struggles with her bundles. If she could see what it is she has placed in her month, she would be cured oi tbe habit once for all. Don't often pnt candy in your mouth. Investigations in dentistry show that decayed teeth aro the work of a micro-organism that breeds and flourishes in just that particular acid which tbe disintegration of sugar produces. In proportion as foods contain starch and sugar are they likely to atlect the teeth, and in candy the proportion of sugar is at tho maximum. A prominent dentist cites the case of a working confectioner, who, by the time he reached middle life, had not a tooth left. His teeth were fragile to begin with, and be had been living in an atmosphere most favorable to their decay. Don't put your bare band in the straps furnished in street cars for the overflow of passengers. Turn one of these straps inside out, in any car not fresh from the shops, and the reason will be plain. Handled as they aro by all sorts and conditions of men, they are ready carriers of disease. The abraded skin of your finger may touch an infected epot, or dangerous bacteria may be transferred, at tho next motion of the band, to the delicate tissues of the mouth or eyes. ' Don't use thepublie drinking vessels. Don't nse the towels provided for general nse in public lavatories, men's restaurants aud sometimes in schools. A specialist in diseases of the eye . at Buffalo investigated the towels furnisbod for the use of pupils in the public eohools of that city, with a view to discovering how far tbey might be a source of contagion. A square foot of toweling which had had moderate use was found to contain from thirty-five to fifty million bacteria. .They included the bacteria of several contagious diseases, and among them those of a serious affection of the eyes. It is not generally known that blindness is increasing in this country four times as fast as tho population, and that the increase is due largely to a contagious disease of tbe eyes, which is spread by just such means. Simple precautions, such as these, may be the means of averting serious disease. DONE TO DEATH. A Southern Paper's Opinion of tho Disrupting Farmers Alliance. Memphis Appeal-Avalanche. The Populists, having secured the ascendancy in the councils of the National Farmers' Alliance, and there having been a confessed departure from the charter principle that the Alliance had nothing to do with partisan politics, we may regard tbe organization as having committed hara-kiri. The day of its usefulness is at an end. Tho wedge was driven into the body at the Memphis meeting, and wo do not believe that we shall hear of it again as an important factor in future campaigns, though the well-paid officers may mako a pretense of influence. Tbe American people bare pronounced in favor of Democratic rnle. They will never permit a secret society to be established as a political partv. The Alliance, because it has transacted its business behind olosed doors, thereby refusing to take the people into its confidence, cannot make any substantial progress toward tbe control of political affairs iu this country. It is now regarded as an illiberal, dogmatio, destructive political organization. Jt has declined to discuss fairly tho issues of tbe day. Having declared that the poor need help, it has declared the remedy to be the immediate division of the estates of those who have won wealth by hard work. It proposes to reform the railroad system of the country, but the reform is tho reform of confiscation. It gives no hope to tho ambitions and self-respecting wage-worker, nor does it give any reasonable promise to the farmer. Found in Street Excavations. Now York Press.
