OOKS like it will [ L~i be * fine day, , , Silas,’’ said the '' wife of Farmer Ware, as he came in from the ham upon Thank striving morning1. “I t oughter

be,” saul he grumpily* as ne wsirmea his hands over the kitchen stove, “for it’ll be the only good thing that’s happened round here lately.” “Why, what has gone wrong now?” asked Mrs. Ware, as she dished np the sausages and placed the coffee piot at her own end of the table. “I'm sure we have many things to be thankful for.” — Mr. Ware grunted, unsympathetically, as be sat down and proceeded to help himself to the best of everything, leaving his wife to take care Of herself, after pouring out the coffee. When the meal was over Farmer Ware lighted his pipe and sat smoking by the fire. His pinched and wrinkled features looked their worst, for it was evident he was in that mood when being out of humor over one thing renders some men savagely contentious with things in general. Mrs. Ware moved softly about, clearing up the breakfast dishes, carefully moving round her hnsband, rather than to risk disturbing him by taking shorter cuts about the stove. Something was on her mind, yet she hesitated mildl]’, as many women will who gently defer to their husband’s moods. “It’s goin’ to be snob a pretty day,” she began, “that there’ll be a good turn out at church. I s’pose I might as well put on the turkey afore we start" “1 hain’t a goin’,” remarked Silas, curtly. “Not goin’? Why father—when did

“TOO—MUU?" ye ever'stay to*home on Thanksgiving day before?” “If yon feel thankful, Maria, go vourself. turkey or no turkey! But don’t ask me. It’s little I ha ve to be thankful for—Lord knows!” “What has gone wrong. Silas?” asked his wife, a little anxiously. ••paint the price of wheat-gone down, •till it ain’t much difference whether the weevil gits what we’ve got or not? If the wheat don’t sell well, how are wc goin’ to pay the intrnss on that mortgage? Seems to me Sam mighter helped us a little thar. But semce he’s got out to Montanny he don’t cam whether his old parents ever hear from him agin or not, Of all the plagues a umii cvep had as vnrntoft) jNM

yit, ’nd I feel to thank the Lord for givin’ us sech a boy.” “That’s the way with you women," grunted Silas. “The wuss a boy {fit* to be, the more yon stick np far him. And *s if this wan’t enough, the best steer on the place must lay down and die, just when I was a needin’ him to haul in the fodder. Thar hain’t his match in the country." “Oh welt father, you said you was poin’ to make beef out’n both the yoke. We’ll get the fodder hauled somehow. Let ub go to church and do our part The Lord’ll be sure to do Ws’n anyhow.” “Go yourself, if you want to, Maria, but don’t bother me about thankin’ the Lord for what He hain’t done, and from what I can see hain’t goin’ to do n other.” Silas got up as he spoke, put away his pipe and went into the sitting1-room. He picked up the county paper and lay down upon a lounge by the window. Though he ignored attending church, he did not feel like going out to work, but grumbled himself into some sort of interest over the market reports. The sound of Mrs. Ware, at her work in the kitchen, mingled softly with the gentler flow his reveries soon fell into. He felt sleepy, yet he did not wish to sleep. It seemed as if he lay a long while wondering what would happen next. Then he rose, put on his hat and went out doors. The sky was overclouded and a cold wind was blowing. The promise of a bright day had not been kept He wandered slowly over the farm, noticing the stones, the stumps, the ragged fences and the general poverty of the soil. He felt more than ever what an il-used man he waa Nothing good could he see in anything. - “And yet Maria thinks we ought tobe thankful. That’s about all the sense a woman has.” On the way back to the house he passed through the barn. The mate to the dead steer looked at him mildly, from over the manger. “I’ll make sure of you ter-morrer,” grumbled Silas. “You’ll ha\$e to make beef, whether you’re fat or not Hit don’t do to risk too many chances these hard times,” He went through the woodshed and into the kitchen. Everything was in order, yet the house seemed strangely silent within, though outside the wind mourned dolefully. In the kitchen, the Are had gone down, though the tea kettle was on, and in the cooling oven lay the Thanksgiving turkey. “Plague take it!” exclaimed Silas, after examining into the state of the

THE OLD FOLKS BENT OVER THE LETTER. culinary affairs. “El Maria hain’t got Lo be as shiftless as the rest.” He pushed on into the sitting-room, charged with a connubial reprimandBut as he opened the door, he stumbled against something soft and yielding, pet which sent an unaccountable shiver from his feet to the very crown of his head. He looked down. It was a woman’s recumbent form. With a great tear at his heart he bent down, turned the pale, white face to the light, then staggered back, trembling in every limb, while cold drops stood out upon his forehead. “You—Maria?” he gasped, as with a sudden wild hope he shook the still form violently. --“Wake up, Maria, rhe idea of you agoin’ to sleep and letting the turkey get cold in the oven. ” No response. The figure that had worn itself out working for him lay as nerveless in his arms as a block of stone. The closed eyes, the purple lips, the drawn, white features, told their terrible story. His wife was dead -Head—and he had parted from her not two hours before, with selfish grumblings upon his lips. 1 Silas Ware rose to his. full height, and uttering a hoarse, inarticulate cry, fell back upon the lounge from which he had recently risen. Thanksgiving day! At breakfast he thought himself an iUused and an unfortunate man. “Oh, God! Oh, God!” he moaned. “What would I not give to have it all back?” All what? What hut Maria — his wife, the faithful companion of the toils, the joys and the sorrows of thirty years! What did he care now for all other troubles and losses? .They were invisible beneath the overwhelming cloud of this one great loss. Without her nothing would be good. With her, all other trials were trivial. He knew it now; he realized it in every agonising quiver, as his heart recognized and felt its utter and hopeless loneliness. And even this was not the worst If be had parted from her with a smile instead of a frown—in kindness rather than with reproach, the agony of separation might be blunted a little. But iq the coming years he must go down to meet Old age alone, the memory of his harshness would ever he stinging. “If I had only known,” he cried, dragging himself upon his knees to her side once more; “it I had only known!” Known—what? If he had only known how great his blessings were, in the possession of his true, tender, patient faithful wife! But he selfishly declined to know; and now the curse of his eternal deprivation must wither him for“1 cannot stand it!" he faltered brokenly. “Merciful God! How can I stand it? No, no! I will not! Take anything else, 'Lord. Take cattle, land take money and home—take children! Thou hast them all but one, and he don’t seem to care—no, Sam hain’t a-carin’ for us, no more—but spare me my wife—my wife—my wife—” “Why, Silas! What on earth—wake up, father f You’ve abcut frightened me to death with your moanin’* and takin’s on!” Some one was shaking him vigorously as Silas opened his eyes. A gleam of young sunlight shot into them through the window, and blinded him for an instant Then he recognised the well-worn dress, the dear, bent toil-worn figure. “Maria!” he fairly shouted. “Then you’re not dead after all?” “No, father. Who said I was? The doughnuts surely must have disagreed with ye, for J heard ye when I was basting the turkey—” “Then the kitchen fire hain’t gone out?’’^intern»pted Silas in a dazed sort of way, yet beginning to tremble Mew. ••Why *» Whet nthde yon think

Thank the Lord hit was only a dream! But I thought I was cornin’ in from the barn, and you was a layin’ dost by the door. Oh, Maria! 1 never knowed, till then, what a selfish, ondesarvin’ ereatur I’d ben. But I know now. Let the Lord take everything, if He will, so He leaves you me!” Just then the first bell for meeting began to ring. -Almost simultaneously came a crisp sound and a peculiar odor from the kitchen. Mrs. Ware roes to her feet in great consternation. “Thar! The turkey’s bumin’, Silas!” said she, hastening out “Let it burn,” cried Farmer Ware, following her. “We’ll kill another one. And we'll up and go to church, Maria. I’m just overflowin’ with thankfulness, _’nd it’s got to find some sort o’ way to get out Then we’ll write a letter to Sam. We’ll tell him we haint forgot our boy, if he forglts us—" “Letter for Silas Ware,” called out a neighbor from the road. Farmer Ware went out and returned directly with a well padded envelope bearing a Montana postmark. “I swow!” exclaimed Silas, (earing it open, “ef it hain’t from our Sam. I dunno who else it can be—” A lithographed square of paper fell to the floor, as the two old people bent over the letter. “Bead.it, Maria,” said Farmer Ware. “Seems like my eyes i|re failin’ faster ’n ever.” But the mother’s eyes too, were moist. Spectacles, • however, were found, and from the cramped lines, Sam’s good wishes and loving expressions were slowly diciphered. - “Says he’s sent us one hundred dollars,” said Silas, “’nd thar it is on the floor. ’Nri he’s cornin’ honie Christmas. Mother, mother! What have I done to desarve all this? But it’s all long of your goodness, Maria. And now we’ll fix up, ’nd go to church.” Half an hour later they were walking hand and hand across the fields towards the little meeting-house. “Hit ain’t sech a pore looking farm, after all,” said Farmer Ware, looking about Mother Ware affectionately pressed his arm.—William P. Brown, in Yankee Blade.

DOES NOT GIVE THANKS. Let Vs Hope There Are Few Such In the Lend. Yonder is a merchant with compressed lips and nervous hands to whom this day is not a day of thanksgiving. He is annoyed because the laws of the laud and the desire of the people to rejoice and be glad have interrupted the steady stream of gold that flows into his coffers. He gives no thanks, nor are there any "in all the wide world giving thanks this day because of him. His safes are full of diamonds and his banker is burdened with a miser’s gold. Those stony eyes of his do not soften nor do his lips relax their compression when poverty kneels at his feet or the oppressed cry out for pity. His eyes behold the glitter of gold and precious stones as those of others see the noonday sun, and when turned on other objects are unable to see. His^ars are deaf to everything save the "ink of money. They are never bent to hearken to the pleas of the humble, nor are they ever cheered by expressions of gratitude. Had this man won as many hearts as he has dollars a throng of grateful men, women and children would join in glad acclaim at sight of him. Today his name would be a household word that in itself would be a triumph of thanksgiving. The timid poor who shrink -from the pathway in terror would smile on him and hail his coming with gladness. Instead of groping in darkness he would see the world’s sunlit side wherever he goes, and sweet rest and peace would have stolen into his chamber last night instead of the hideous forms that leered at him from the inky darkness. Let him go forth this day and perform one deed of charity. To-night he will sleep as he has not slept for years, and if the operation is occasionally repeated our brother will a year hence appreciate and enjoy Thanksgiving day.—Extract from a Lay Sermon, in Jewelers’ Weekly.

PRICES OF PLATE CLASS. One of the moat valuable points of attack in our present protective tariff Bystem, and one which the tariff reformers use to an advantage in show* log that the workingmen do not get their proper share of the high duties imposed, as it is alleged, for their protection. is the dnty upon plate glass. Here is an industry that is protected all the way from 88 to 152 per cent, and it is a notorious fact that less wages are paid to the class of workmen employed than in other branches that reap the benefits of onr protective System. The National Glass Budget, organ of the glass blowers’ union, reproduces the following from an ex* change, which makes very interesting reading: “The high tariff papers of the country are at present making a great ado over the plate glass industry, which they claim is a triumph of protection. They are constantly asserting that it was not until the industry was 'established in this country that the prices of plate glass began to fall, and they are very fond of comparing the prices which prevailed from 1870 to 1873 with those at which the glass is sold now. “How careful they are not to say any thing about the real cause o£- the high prices which prevailed during the former period. France is the most Important center for the industry in Europe, and it is from France that nearly all our imports of plate glass have come. During the Franoo-Prussian war all industries were shaken up, and the drain of recruits from the workmen for the armies caused a great rise in wages. For the same reason the prices of materials rose, which, taken in connection with the heavy taxes and expenses incident to manufacturing industries in war time, caused an abnormal rise in the cost of production, and hence the price of glass. “History tells ns that in 1699 the Countess of Frique exchanged an estate for a single mirror of plate glass. Only three years later a yard of plate glass sold in England for £6 13s, or 933 11. “How absurd is the statement of the papers that plate glass did not fall in price until the industry became established here, is shown by the following figures, which are for plate glass sold by the St Gobian plate glass works, of France: FRICKS PER SQUARE FOOT. 1835. 185a 1862. 1881. 8937x89187 inches $2 27 $189 $ .86 $0.62 7974x3987 inches 6.75 2.66 1.91 146 “This does not show that prices were kept up nntil we began to make plate glass. On the contrary, the prices have steadily fallen. Only during the past decade have bur manufacturers been able to produce enough glass to affect the market “The duty on the sizes of plates now imported are twenty-five cents and fifty cents per square foot, and our manufacturers add the duty to the price of the glass they make, thus enabling them to exact this amount from the consumers. That the domestic manufacturers do add the whole amount of the duty to their glass is shown by the fact that, while the small quantity of plate glass imported last year is valued in the treasury reports at slightly less than thirty-three cents per square foot, the domestic manufacturers sell their output at an average of about eightyfive cents. Thus the domestic manufacturers are able to declare enormous dividends on watered capital, and last year the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. declared a dividend of thirty-one per cent.

“At the same time that the manufacturers make these enormous profits they pay the lowest wages of any industry requiring skilled labor. The highest wages they pay their workmen for twelve hours’ work is #3 per day. This amonnt is earned by the master teasers. Other workmen receive as low as 91.35 per day for the same number of hours. They are enabled to keep the wages down by importing contract laborers in spite of the contract labor law. “The real causes of the fall in the price of plate glass are the use of machinery, which makes possible cheaper production, and the greatly increased demand for plate, which inturn makes possible production on a large scale. / “The true effect of the duties upon plate glass, therefore, is tctinake possible the combination among manufacturers to keep up prices and keep down wages. It is impossible to evade the duties so that the prices they fix cannot be cut But they succeed in evading the labor law so that they have practical free trade in labor. Thus on the one hand they make consumerspav more, and on the other force their workmen to accept less for their labor. These are the true effects of the high duties, and, being such, tariff reformers are perfectly con tan tod to let their opponents fthve all the glory that they can make ont of them.” WHAT FREE HIDES HAVE DONE. Free Hides Have Pat the Leather Industry on a Solid Foundation. A wholesome economic lesson is taught by the history of the effects of admitting hides into this country free of duty. It would naturally be supposed that with our variety of soil and climate we could provide all the kinds of leather needed from domestic hides, and that while we might profit from free raw materials in many industries, in this particular one the benefits would be small. In 1873 hides (except those with wool on) were put on the free list. Of course there was then much growling by orfe-sided theorists, who saw only the imaginary injury that would be done to some domestic industries. The' experiment of giving the leather industries free raw materials was eminently successful. It put new life into the leather glove business, which in 1872 was dragging along a precarious existence. It decreased our glove imports from 94,558,187 in 1873, to 93,586,635 in 1873, and to 93,314,658 in 1874. In 1873 there were in Fulton county, N. Y.. the center of the glove industry, less than half a dosen small leather dressing establishments. In 1890 there were 300 of these establishments employing 3,000 men. Mr. D. B. Judson, who has manufactured more gloves than any other man in America, said “free hides are air, light, food, drink to Fulton county and the glove and leather-dressing industries This last industry, right, here in Fniton county, has revolutionized the shoe' business of the world.” It is a fact that we make shoes cheaper than they are made anywhere else, and in greater variety. The injury to domestic industries has never been manifest Our exports at leather have increased greatly since 1873 McKinley in 1890 proposed to put a duty on hides again. It is not quite certain why. hO did this. Some say it was to give a little more bogus protection to the farmers and stock growers; others that it was to aid the reciprocity scheme and was to be used to bluff some of our southern neighbors. It is more likely that it was to help Armour and the other members of the “big four” who constitute the dressed beef combine and who would profit by hides. Such a howl went England and the east was compelled to put ' the free list. If the benefits of free raw materials are so extensive and so manifest In this case, they would be far more so In coats where we cannot produce, in thU ew McKinley back into «cm»tr.r. the raw matsrtais

Thk New York Central proposes to run a train from New York to Buffalo that will average over fifty-three miles an hour. - There are nearly- 800,000 miles of railroad in the United States. In 1830 there were only 83 miles; in 1840, 8,818; in 1850, 9,021; in 1860, 30,686; in 1870, 58,988; in 1880, 93,296; in 1890, 166,817 miles.

But you can stop them in advance. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery invigorates the liver, purifies and enriches the blood, and rouses every organ into healthy action. It prevents and cures all diseases arising from a torpid liver or from impure blood. Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Biliousness, Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp Diseases — even Consumption ( or Lung-Bcrofula), in its earlier stages, all yield to it. f The makers of the “Discovery” claim for it only what it will do. They guarantee that it will do it. If it fails to benefit or cure, in any case, they’ll return the money. Nothing else that claims to purify . the blood is sold in this way; which proves, no matter what dealers may offer, that nothing else can be “just as good.” Therefore, don’t accept a substitute.
