A COUNTRY THANKS GIVING* SERMON. Ay, goodman, clone the great barn door: The mellow harvest time i. o'er: The earth haa given her treaanree meet Of golden oetn bearded wheat. You and your neighbor, well have wrought. And of the rammer bounty caught; Won from her unilea and from her tear. Much good., perhaps, for many yean. • You oomc a tribute now to pay— The bella proclaim Thanksgiving-Day. Weil have you .own, woll have you reaped; And of tho riches you have heaped You think, perhaps, that you will give A part, that others, too, may live. But if snob argument you uac. Your niggard bounty 1 refuse. No gifts you on the altar lay In any seiue are given away. Lot rings from Heaven a voice abroad: “ Who helps Ood’s poor shall tho lend Lord!” Whnt is your wealth? I’d have you know. To hold it, you must let it go. Think you the hand by Heaven struck cold Will yet have power to clutch itagold? % Shrouds have no pockets, do they say? Behold! 1 show you, then, the way: Wait not till death shall shut the door. But send your cargoes on before. Lo! he thatgivethof his hoard To help Gods poor doth lend the Lord. To-day, my brethren—do not wait: Just yonder stands Dame Kelly's gate; And would you build a mansion fair In Heaven, send your lumber there; Each stick that on her wood-pile lies May raise a dome beyond the Bkies; You stop the rents within her walls. And yonder rise your marble halls; For every pane that stops the wind There shineth one with jasper lined. Your wealth is gone, your form lies cold, But in the City paved with gold Your hoard is held by Hands Divine; It bears a name that marks it thine. Behold the bargain ye have made! With usury the Dond is paid. No moth doth eat, no thieves do steal, No suffering heart doth envy feel; The scattered dust that ye have given Is garnered by your God in Heaven. Ring out the words: Who of his hoard Doth help God’s poor shall lend the Lord! Go, get your cargoes under way; The bells rings nng out Thanksgiving-Day! - , . —Harper's Bazar.

REGETTA’S THANKSGIVING.

“I wish there wasn’t any Thankgiving Day; I just do.” • ... “Why do you wish that, Regotta?” “Just because I do; raisins to pick, and things to chop and to cut, and such a time with cooking!” “Is that allP” Dotty stopped slicing citron for a moment, and stood looking off through the window toward the gray clouds and the shivering trees, but was not thinking of either of them. “All? Deary me! that’s enough. Pies and cakes and all sorts of things to help make, and baking and boiling to do; and, as to the thanking partTl do not see much to thank for!—always stewing at a cook-stove, or cleaning up the room. Christmas is different from Thanksgiving, for people get presents after the cooking is over; hut Thanksgiving—some people might like it who nad something to be thankful for, but I”—and she tossed her brown hair on one side, and threw the raisins she had been picking, with a jerk, into the bowl waiting to receive them, and also over the table and the floor; for what could be expected but that the raisins would fly about when they were being tossed in such a fashion? ”Did you ever see the like of It? 51 Regetta commenced again. -“Even the raisins try to torment me; I would like to know what I have to thank for?” “ Mamma says we ought to be thankful that we have the raisins to fix.” “ Hear it! Listen to it! Does she say Peggy Hopkins ought to be thankful for the rheumatism?” “ Mamma says Peggy Hopkins is contented; but I don’t believe I know what that has to do with the raisins.” “ I >e £gy Hopkins’ rheumatism keeps her lame in the leg, so she cannot sport around and enjoy herself; what is the difference if it is raisins, pumpkin and citron, or if it is rheumatism, that keeps you sitting in a corner or hanging over afire?’ r “ Regetta! we have the nice things to eat after we have helped to make them, but Peggy —oh! what a pain she has, and nothing to eat but what people send her.’ “ Well, she doesn’t have to broil herself to death cooking it; somebody does it for her, and, as to pain, I guess she is too old and tough to feel much of that;” and Regetta laughed at what she thought a bit of pleasantry, and tossed the raisins she had been gathering up into the bowl. " 1 shall wot do much thanking, at any rate.” “ Oh, Regetta!” The little girl turned half around, that the tears quivering in her eyes might be unseen. “Oh, Regetta? What has Regetta to thank for? What does she do, the week through, but stew over tho pans?—and there is nothing but misery, anyway; for father has lost his work, Billy’s spasms are getting worse, and the brindlc cow has gone dry, when she ought to be milking a plenty.” “ But,” began Dotty (trying to say some of tho things that were halfshapen in her thoughts), “ but father is not dead, like Austin Bonicr’s father, and wo’ve got two cows yet, to give quarts and quarts; and don’t you think it is nicer to make the nice things than not to have any at all to eat? I know it is bad about Billy, but mamma says that God knows best.” She stopped, flushed with the effort she had madd to tell her thoughts. There was a low rap at the door, and the call, “Come in,” from Regetta, brought in a small, scantily-clad figure, shivering at the kitchen door. " Oh, you’ve got a fire, haven’t you?” said the little new-comer, nestling up to the red-hot stove, where the pots were blubbering over, and the odor of good l things was very strong. "Fire? Well, if I ever! Fire, when the wind is blasting like that outside; who wouldn’t have ftreP” “Everybody has it that can, I suppose; but you know it takes so much wood to keep it burning all the time, some people cannot. Tim—that’s my ’'brother—and I got a great lot yesterday, but we'do not want to burn it right tip in a minute.” " Doesn’t your father get the wood?” inquired Regetta, looking up, as she knelt on one knee, giving the last poke to the! log with which she was replenishing the fire. “ There is nobody but us; father is dead.”

“Tim Stryker is good to cut and haul wood; why don’t your mother get him to do it P Are your woods nearP” “Judge Swift lets ns go to his woods for fagots and things; you know we have no woods; to mother getting anybody, why, flbther has us, you know.” “Barbary Brennan—that is your name, isn’t itP—got youT' “ Yes, and she says that, of all tho things she has to be thankful for, sho is most thankful for us.” “ 'thankful for it? It is you who lives at the old Swift Lodge, that is all tumbled down but one roomP” , “Yes.” “And your mother broke her arm?” “ Why, yes, but it is her left arm; think how much worso it might havo been had it been the right. Mother says that mercies are all the time coming to her.” “ Does your mother wear spectacles?” “No; yes—sometimes,” looking up, wonderingly. “ I thought so, for it must take big glasses to see her mercies.” “I don’t know, but mother says sho will have a great deal to be thankful for to-morrow; but I was forgetting: mother has heard all about yourbrother who is sick, and she is sorry for him; she sent these herbs to make a tea, and a paper to tell how he must take the tea, for she is sure it will make him better.” Regetta stood with the herbs in her hands, as tho little figure turnod to tho door, leaving the great roaring fire regretfully, and dropping a courtesy as she said, “ Good-bye.” “ Won’t the pumpkin burnP” inquired Dotty, on her tiptoes over the stove. “Like as not,” broke out Regetta. “I’ll give up forever about mercies, if that woman in the Lodge has any; and now I think of it, Dotty, it is something to have father, even if ne is out of work; and to have woods, and some one to cut up trees.” And when, the next day, Dotty saw Regetta tying on her bonnet, to go carry a “Thanksgiving” to the old Swift Lodge, and afterward saw her so still and reverent when the Thanksgiving prayers were said at servicetime, she felt sure that, after all, Regetta did see mercies and was, for sure anil certain, giving thanks.— George Klingle, in N. Y. Observer ,

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

—The poet, John G. Whittier, will soon be seventy years old. —Victoria Woodhull is a failure in England as a lecturer, and intends to try the stage. —lt is reported that Senator McDonald, of Indiana, will soon be married to a widow) who is now a clerk in the Treasury Department. —Oliver Wendell Holmos does his literary work with a broad gold pen fitted into a quill handle—a pen that he has used for twenty years. He writes three hours daily in the morning. —Ex-United States Senator Lyman Trumbull, who has been a widower for some years, surprised the country by a coup d'etat, the other day. He went down to Connecticut and was quietly married there. —During the sickness of Senator Morton, Dr. Thompson, his physician, received remedies from all parts of the countiy, each sender being convinced that his or her remedy would be certain to cure by giving tone to the Senator’s stomach so that it would retain food.— N. Y. Post. —The piano factory fire in New York, a few weeks ago, destroyed the fold and silver refining works of Gen. remont, which had taken much of Ms means and was nearly ready to start. This financial crippling was wluvt made necessary the recent sale of his household effects. —The death of John Bell, of Tennessee, reminds some one that of all the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates before the people in 1860—but seventeen years ago—only two are alive, Hannibal Hamlin anu Hersohel V. Johnson. Lincoln, Douglas, Breckenridge and Lane, and Bell and Everett are aU dead. —lt is said that the reason assigned by the venerable Archbishop French, of Dublin, for never permitting stereotype plates to be made of his little books on the English language, is, that he may have the opportunity of revising each edition before it goes to press, in order to keep the books abreast of the philology of the day. —Anna Dickinson was once recommended, in a jocular way, to Henry Wilson for a wife. The Vice-President, without reflecting that the young lady might not accept him, expressed his fears that there was too much of her, and that she would probably always be longing for a career of her own.—Chicago Tribune. —Miss Randolph, tho great-grand-daughter of Thomas Jefforson, has many anecdotes concerning her fa-' mous ancestry, and among these is the tale of a great aunt, who once remarked naively of her husband: “ Sure, he’s the politest man that ever lived; he never even comes into a room without looking through the key-hole first to know if lie’ll be welcome!” , —The aged Elijah Birge, of Windsor Locks, Conn., is the last survivor of a sort of tontine arrangement entered into between several unmarried brothers and sisters many years ago. When one died the survivors inherited all the deceased’s property. « Thus, and by profitable investment, Mr. Birge’s estate has accumulated to over SIOO,000, beside the largo amounts he has given away to charitable and other objects.

An Experiment in Pitching a Curved Ball.

An experiment was recently tried in Cincinnati to demonstrate that a pitcher can pitch curved balls. It was a success. It was also demonstrated in Danbury in the past week, but in a more simple way. A slim man was standing on the corner of Munson and Pine streets when the clubs were coming in. Seeing the ball lit the hands of a friend he invited a pitch. The holder of the ball put one foot ahead of the other, shut his lips tight togethor, glared with awful ferocity at his friend, and then twisting his arm twice from the shoulder to tne elbow, and four times from the elbow to the wrist, let drive the deadly missile. The slim man, who had intensely watched this mysterious preparation, saw the ball was coming to his right and laid in that direction, but was immediately convinced that it was turning to the left, and while striking out in that direction was astonished to observe that it was about to plank him In the middle of the back, and promptly whirled around to intercept

it, but not seeing it at all in that direction, and being dreadfully excited, he jumped about again, and just in time to eaten the ball on the bridge of his nose. There being plenty of pavement back of him be was saved from falling any great distance, and is thus preserved as a living evidence that a ball curves, although it is not likely he will ever smell again with any sort of precision. —Danbury News.

A Clever Swindle.

Tho perpetrators of a late and very clever swindle are alleged to be an old and young man whose names have not been ascertained, and who claimed in the interest of their operation to hail from North Carolina. They visited a leading commission house and proposed to consign to it a cargo of spirits of turpentine and like products which was then loading at a given place in North Carolina, but the “ given place” not being found on a map of that State, produced some confusion and the would-be consignors did not farther prosecute their business with that firm, but with Charles Smith & Co., 7 Central wharf, where, it is asserted, Mr. Smith agreed to receive the cargo on consignment. The sharpers said they wanted no money, but only a chance to dispose of the goods. ■ln a few days, or about a fortnight ago, tho firm received a letter postmarked North Carolina, containing a bill of lading for 150 barrels of turpentine and a quantity of tar, and the information that it had cleared for Boston. The next move was for the young roan to install himself at Smith’s office as his headquarters. He would drop in for a few moments every morning, read the papers, talk a little and depart. Four or five days after the receipt of the bill of lading the young man was in the office as usual, reading the papers, when he suddenly exclaimedf: “ Ah, our vessel has arrived, I see, with a cargo consigned to Charles Smith & C 0.,” apparently reading from the paper. None of the firm took pains to inquire whether such a vessel had arrived or not. The next day a roughlooking and apparently a seafaring man came into the office and announced himself as the Captain of the vessel. He drew from his pocket a huge pocketbook, well filled, and produced a bill of lading exactly similar to the one received by mail. The Captain said he had a deckload of lumber which he would discharge at Chelsea and immediately return and put in at a neighboring'wharf. The driving rain outside again prevented an investigation or an examination of the truth or falsity of the statements made. Now was the time to strike, and the young man in bland tones suggested that an advance on the cargo would be acceptable. Report does not say how much he got, but places the figure above SI,OOO, the truth or falsity of which statement could not be learned. At all events, the young man was seen no more, and after four or five days of suspense seafeh was made for the vessel, but no trace of it could be found, and the firm had to admit that had been cleverly “ done.” —Boston Journal.

The Recent Earthquake in Albany, N. Y.

Albany was visited by an earthquake yesterday morning at 1:55 o’clock. This will be news to some of our citizens, while to others it will not, as a great many were awakened from their slumbers by the shock. It appears to have been confined to no particular portion of the city, for we have been informed by persons living at opposite quarters of the city that they distinctly felt the motion of the earth. A great many persons were aroused from their beds by what they supposed to be an explosion, and some timid persons were greatly concerned for their personal safety. Personswfiofelttheshockdescribe it as a sort of undulating motion, those who experienced it while in bed feeling as though their couch was swayed gently to and fro.. At the Penitentiary the shock is said to have been particularly severe. A number of residents who felt it quickly dressed and ran to the nearest station-house and informed the pdliipe, supposing that a great explosion of'some sort had occurred. At the residence of Mr. John Greer, No. 59 Ten Broeek street, several of the walls were cracked, and the pictures hanging thereon very perceptibly disarranged. At other localities in tho city the same effects were produced, though no serious damage is known to have resulted. It is a singular fact in connection with the phenomenon, that a number of persons who were in the street at the time did not know of its occurrence or experience any of its effects, while others who were in their houses were shocked. Sergt. Doran, of the Fourth Precinct, states that ho was in the station-house at the time, engaged in writing on the slate, when the earthquake occurred, and the slate and desk were so perceptibly shaken that he was compelled to desist until it had passed. He did not imagine at the time what was the cause of the disturbance. The shock, though very perceptible, was not as severe as that of Oct. 20, 1870, at 11:15 a. m., when the city was similarly visited. The earthquake .at that time lasted about one minute, and employes in various public and manufacturing buildings fled for their lives into the streets, supposing that the buildings were about to be destroyed. No damage of any moment resulted at that time, however. Clock pendulums swinging north and south at that moment were made to swing east and west, showing that the earthquake wave passed in an eastward direction. —Albany Argus.

Making a Piute Doctor.

It has been a question unsolved by many how the doctors of the tribes of Indians got their sheepskins. We have of late heard of several executions for inability to bring about a cure among the Pintes, and now wo have the par-ticulars-at hand of how they elect- a successor in case of the death of a medicine manor woman. All the adult members of the tribe arc called together; a white round stone is provided for each and all except one, and that is a black one; these are put ill a sack together and passed around, each hand drawing out a pebble. The one drawing the black stone is thereafter to act as medicine man on; woman, as the case may be, for women and men have to take tlipir chances of drawing. The doctor-elect then must qualify liimself as best he can—the more the better—for he will have a longer lease of life; because, on the death pf his third patient he is put to death in a summary manner. Sometimes shot, again stoned to death, and at others burned.—Aurora Herald, It is stated that of wifemurderers in New Yortc within five years not one has been hanged, r

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

—Pumpkin pies are luxuries. It is stated that pumpkins can he kept until next spring by placing thein on a high shelf in a dry cellar, where the temperature does not get below 82 dogs, nor above 50 degs. —lowa State Register. —A reader of tho Maine Farmer makes a statement respecting the value of ashes as a fertilizer; and says he is acquainted with an instance in his own vicinity where unleachcd ashes wore liberally applied to a field more than twenty years ago, and their good effects over surrounding land, to which they were not applied, are still plainly visible. —To Cook Egg-Plant.—Pare tho plant, being careful to remove all tho skin; cut in thin slices, ahout half an inch thick; then salt each slice; lay one on top of the other and let them stand under a weight eight to ten hours; pour off the water from the dish, wipe the slices dry, dredge with flour, and fry in half lara and half butter (which should be boiling hot), until they become a dark brown color. Servo at once. —The following is said to be an excellent remedy for the croup: “Take one teaspoonful of pulverized alum, one of sulphur and the whites of two eggs. Mix all well together and put in a small piece of muslin, and hold it up and let tho water drip from it; and give to a child, say ten years old, one teaspoonful in a little mint tea, or any pleasant tea; and smaller children less, say half a teaspoonful for five years old, and less for younger, all in tea.” —Carrots make an appetizing dinner dish when prepared as follows: Wash, scrape, cut the carrots lengthwise and boil until very tender, which will take from an hour and a half to two hours. When done, slice the carrots very thin into a sauce-pan with one or two tablespoonfuls of butter and a small cup of cream—if milk is used, thicken a very little with corn starch, add pepper, salt and cook about ten minutes; serve in a covered vegetable dish. —Exchange. —Underdraining is a measure of economy, and it is in eyery way important that it should be done economically. If made to needlessly cost twice as much as it ought, it will pay only half the profit it should, and the farmer is proportionately discouraged in his good work. By being careful to dig when the ground is in the best condition, doing as much as possible with horse-plows and sub-soil ditchers, the cost of making underdrains may be reduced to the smallest possible amount. —Rural New Yorker.

—Farmers who hold back their wheat, hay and other products, because they will not sell for the prices they think should be obtained are generally, in the end, losers. They do not take into account the risk they incur by withholding their crops. There is no truer axiom than that a “ bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” As a rule the most successful farmers dispose of their crops as soon as they are ready for the market, at current prices. The mind is then relieved of anxiety and all chances of loss are removed, with the doubtful chance, it is true, of higher prices.— Germantown Telegraph. —A common fault of high-spirited colts (or rather habit, forntris often only the result of habit, and no result or proof of viciousness) is kicking. We should remember that a colt kicks naturally; that is, he does it in shlf-defense, and also in the way of play. It is as it were his birthright, by which lie exEre.sses his physical spirits, imself. The fact is, no colt should ever bo put between the shafts without a “ kicking-strap;” that is, a strap buckled to either shaft, and passed over the haunches in such a way as to make it impossible for him to get his heels over the cross-tree. This is the only safe way to pursue. Generally speaking, a slight twitch on the reins, just as he is on the point of “lifting,” will check the effort; but it needs a quick eye and hand to catch the .colt soon enough to keep his heels out of the dashboard; and not over two in ten men would be sure to do it. But by using the kicking-strap all danger and risk are averted; and therefore we invariably insist on it in educating colts. After two or three attempts to “ lift,” the youngster finds he cannot; and is thereby, as the Irishman said, “ cured of the disease before he had it.” In the case of colts, as of men, an “ ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” —Golden Rule.

Leaks in the Barn.

Here and there may be seen stables and barns trith broken-windows, loose boards, holes in the roofs, or doors and windows that gape open, and refuse to shut closely. Through these openings the cold air and rain will leak in, and the warm air will leak out. Such leaks as-these are disagreeable to see, and are uncomfortable to the occupants of the buildings. But these are by no means the whole of the affair. The worst of it ts, that through these leaks the farmer’s profits dvswppear, very silently, it is true, but not the less steadily and constantly. While his cattle stand and shiver in the cool, sharp nights, or steam under the penetrating rain-storms or snow, with every shiver there disappears a quantity of the fodder from tne barn, as well as some of the milk from the cows, some fat from the steers and the pigs, some wool from the sheep, and some eggs from the poultry. The farmer looks and wonders. He complains that the cows arc rough, that “ there is no good in the feed;” that the pigs do not fatten as fast as they should, that there are no eggs, and the .liens are eating their heads off. Well, an animal cannot use lip all its food in keeping warm, and at the same time make milk, fat, wool or eggs. These are made from food, and from only the surplus of the food, after the bodily wants and needs are supplied. "In the Polar regions, a man needs six pounds of fat meat, and the same of bread, for his daily meals, while an East Indian neods but a pound of rice for a day’s subsistence. When working in the northern woods in the depths of winter, with the thermometer far below zero for weeks at a time, the lumberer eats with relish huge himps of clearfat pork, with his daily two pounds of bread and liberal messes of bean soup; food of thjs kind would sicken a man, were he to look at it, in the harvestfield. Ail this food goes to mako up the waste of heat from the body during the excessive cold. It is precisely so in the barn, or in the pig-pen. If these are kept so warm that water will never freeze in them, much less food is needed by the animals than if the air is far below a freezing temperature ; ami if the temnoraturp is comfortably warm, less fooa still will be required. So wherever a stream of cold air, snow or rain pours in upon the cattle, or when they* are miserable and uncomfortable,

a stream of wasted food pours out all the time through the leak. Now is the time to stop these leaks. A board here and there ; a good glazed window In plaoo of a broken shutter; warm, dry litter in plaoo of a foul, wet bed ; a tight roof and a plastered or doubleboarded ceiling, all theso are actually worth more tnan an extra portion of food to an animal, because, although when cold and chilled it eats the more, vet it thrives poorly, while if well housed it will keep sleek and thrifty upon comparatively moderate feeding.

A Noble Act.

A beautiful story illustrative of some of the very finost traits of the Christian character belong to the family of Serg. Granvil, of England. The Sergeant had two sons, and, unfortunately, the eldest, on whom it was supposed the estate might bo conferred, was a fast liver, ana he promised soon to squander in waste and riot the property of which he was utterly unwortny. As neither entreaty nor threatenings sufficed to bring about a reformation, the father at last, in self-defense, settled the inheritance on the younger brother, who was of a more tractable disposition. After the good father’s death the youthful renegade sat down to meditate on his folly; ho grew melancholy,' but, at length, perceiving that he had forfeited an earthly estate, he determined to lay hold on a better inheritance in Heaven. The brother beheld the change with admiration, the evidences of its reality being quite convincing. Soon afterward the friends of the family were invited to a great feast, at which the rejoicings soon took an unexpected turn. A dish was placed before the elder brother, and this, on being uncovered, was found to hold a pile of deeds transferring the whole of the propery into his possession. The younger intimated that in so acting he had only done what their father would have done had he lived to see the blessedness of the change they themselves were privileged to witness. — N. Y. Observer. It is stated by a Pittsburgh physician that diphtheria is not a contagious disease, and that it never attacks a child whoso system is not depressed by bad health or by exposure to cold or dampness.

One style of organ with nine stops, which sells for cash at from sll4 to $l4O, according to elegance of case, is especially desirable. Such is the demand for ft that they are scarcely able to supply it, though they have more than one thousand organs of this single style under way, and turn out more than one -bandied per week. r

“NOW tlr ME DOWNTO SLEEP.” THE CHILD’S FIBST PRAYER. Which begins as above. Is the most tender, touching and confiding petition which Is ever offered to the Supreme Being. It Is universal In Its application, and has been repeated by millions In the past, Is now breathed by bosks M pure and Innocent children every night, and will bo by countless numbers In all ages to corns. We have, at a great expense, reproduced the celebrated French engraving embodying the spirit of this prayer of prayers. The engraving represents a beautiful child kneeling reverentially, ana pathetically offering this touching petition to Its Maker. The angelic countenance of the child stands out In bold relief, In the bright and shining light of a very handsomely-furnished room, and the whole effect is strikingly sublime and attractive. The picture Is 18x20 In slse, on heavy white paper, and Is perfect In every artistic detail. It Is a copy of the celebrated French engraving, entitled “ Je Crols en Dlen,” one of the most famous In the entire Paris Art Museum, where the original has been exhibited for nearly twenty years, and has excited more genuine admiration than any other picture in this vast collection. It is only since the fall or the Empire that this engraving has been copied, owing to the terms on which It was presented the museum. Over 100.000 copies have been sold tn Paris and elsewhere within tbepastsix months at 25 franca (46) each. We own the United States copyright, and It has been pronounced by the best connoisseurs of fine engravings that the sale will be totally unprecedented In this country. Certain it Is that this Is oqaof the finest subjects In the whole range of ait, and tiStlt will touch a responsive chord In every mother’s heart The prayer Is engraved In full In clear, handsonid letters upon each copy, and there Is no gift more appropriate for a parent to present to a child than a copy of this magnificent work of art No more appropriate picture can he hung in a little child’s chamber, and each boy or girl would treasure It in after years ss a souvenir of childhoods days and a parents love—priceless In value and fragrant with precious memories. We may here mention that (me of the largest art dealers In New York offered to pay SI royalty on each copy, and sell none for less than *5, If he could have the agency for the United States. We will send this matchless Engraving, postpaid, to your address On Receipt of fl.
