THANKSGIVING. The Rev. Mr. Birnall had just flush
ed the Governor's proclamation lor
accomplished waiter in the world, and would have stood a poor chance along aid; of a French garcon. There was a damask cloth spread ovcr the board a luxury, which Mrs.
ailvnose never indulged in but once a
Thanksgiving Day , w hen the eongrega- j year the salt-cellars were furnished
tion of the church in lWboro' were a
larmed by the simultaneous outcry of a hundred thousand domestic fowls; r7t7ieet, turkeys, geese, ducks, and chickens. Chanticleer was heard to vociferate any thing but Amen, when he heard the ominous sound of -God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,1 which he
knew to be the conclusion of a death warrant for his beloved partlets. The day appointed for Thanksgiving was the subsequent Thursday; and as the boys and girls hastened home from church, thev involuntarily smacked
their lips, at the glorious prospect of
mince pies and plum puddings, w nne the old ladies forgot the sermon in a dream of mortarsand pestles, spices and fresh butter. I hope,' said Mrs. Oilynose fo her beloved spou-e,'lhat we shall have a good day on Thursday, for Squire Runner, you know, and his wife and sister, nnd neighbor Hull and his two brothers, are going for to dine with us, and it
would be a nation pity to ram! 'So it would, my ducky,' responded the little round fat oily man cf ware,
but what are you to have for dinner?' Why, a3 to that, dear, I intended to have punkin pies and a great apple slump, and a leg of bacon and a plum puddin for the first course and then a roast turkey and a plenty of inyons and apple-sauce and I guess as how we had belter have some boiled chickens too, and squash pies and thing.' Very good ejaculated Mr. Oilynose. Pa!' wheezed out his little son. as he turned up a baboon phiz to his affec
tionate sire, 'will you buy me a bladder to play football V
'Silence,' said the fathcr,'it is a Sabba'
day, Joel.' And Joel wiped his proboscis on his sleeve, and ran after a frog that was practising gymnastics on the
town common.
Like an Alexandrine, the following
Monday and Tuesday dragged their slow lengths along Wednesday came and huge squashes suffered the fate of Lapct. Hie chopping knifosounded, and the pestels never ceased. A capacious brass wash-kettle hung over the kitchen fire, looking like a deep charger, containing John ihc Baptist's head ; lor there was a pumpkin smoking, which
would have weighed down two lifty-six cs. Little Joel was running through the kitchen, occasionally thrusting his lirgers into the mince tray, and sometimes his mamma allowedhim to notch the pastry with his knife; and then he never failed to rub his elbows in llour.
and besmear himself with butter. And once he excited the admiration of the w hole kitchen by tumbling into the ashhole, where the cat had retired to nose out a bone. Thanksgiving Day at length arrived ushered in by a cloudy sky, and a slight fury of snow,' just deep enough to make the Boston frog-pond more amusing to the boys, as they glided over 'kiddlebenders,' and chased some poor bowlegged nigger from their skating ground. The Capulcts were not earlier at work on Juliet's wedding day, than the Oilynoses on Thanksgiving morning. The oven was heated betimes, the Jack was wound up, and the spit covered with fowls; and just then the. second bell rung for church. Mrs. Oilynose did not go to church that morning, for the was obliged to su
perintend the culinary department of
the mansion-house; but the old gentleman went, with the young ones, in
whose hands he deposited a four-pence-halfpenny, to put in the contribution
box reserving a twenty cent piece
himself, which he wrapped carefully in a piece of white paper, cither for modesty's sake, or to make its contents appear what they were not. Perhaps it would be as well to pass hy the religious services, as very few persons had presence of mind enough to listen. So we will suppose every thing done in dececy, and in order, and the nnthem squaw led out, as usual in a country meeting house. There was a hurrying to and fro, at the mansion house of the Oilynoses, w hen the good lady turning suddenly to her better part (Jtnlf I would have said, but for her peculiar bulk.) 'My love who shall we get to tend table?' 'Simon Snooks, dear; he'll do it just s trt.ty but I'll attend to them things, 1 guess: only you git things ready.' Know all men by these presents, to whom they shall come, greeting that Simon was neither more, nor less, than an ostler his duty being to curry one horse, or one ass (for it was never ascertained exactly which of the two the animal was,) and to milk four cows.

were nut to the windows, and the por
traits of Mr. and Mrs. Oilynose hung

man, and she as a sliepneruess. i ue nuninkin nies and apple slamp, bacon
and plum-pudding were smoking on the
table, when the old gentleman, gainer
ing round hi.-n his smiling guests, aiul
said crare in the following manner
'May God bless us, and what is provided for us.' The old lady responded 'Amen,'
while her eyes rested on the pudding, with devouring glances. 'Shall I help you to any thing this ere end of the table?' said Mrs Oilynose to her cousin Lucinda Twig. 'Why I dont care if I do take a piece of that pic a very small piece.' Accordingly she was helped to a square foot of slump.
Mr. Oilynose, having taken aglassof
bitters before dinner, was so intent on
satisfying his own appetite, that Squire
Ball was left unprovided tor, and, like the fellow in the cook's shop, was glad
to feed on the flavor of the savory vi
ands about him.
'Dinah!' bawled out the hungry gen
tleman, 'bring me some porter.'
Dinah shortly appeared, with lour or
live bottles. But, just as she came
within hitting distance of the old girl,
one of the corks, feeling a little restless
jumped out, when about a pint of por
ter whizzed, like water hosn an enginepipe, against the rosy face of Mistress Dorothy Snoiks, which so astounded the lady, that she lost her centre, of gravity, and, tumbling against her darling boy pitched him head over heels into the lap of Miss Tantaug. At this moment, when confusion seemed worse
confounded, hi tie Joel, hav ing swallow
ed a piece of hot pudding, began to scream violently, and whether from o-ver-cxerting himself or not, had what is not called 'the dry heaves,' as the table-cloth testified and the washerwoman asserted some time after. Therewas a pretty scene for Hogarth. In fact, the humors of a real Yankee. Thanks
giving dinner were never more whim
sically set forth. But where is Simon
the waiter? Just emerging from the kitchen with a large dish of gravy, he
entered the dining-room, looking like a measly pig, and vociferated as loud as thunder through the key-hole, 'Is there
nobody that wants no more grease?'
It w ould be an endless task to attempt
a discussion of the dinner table, and the conversation which the hilarity of
the occasion produced. Mr. Oilynose
fell fast asleep over his fourth bottle,
the females retired to take a snoose,
and the children had their bellies greas cd, and were in this condition laid be
fore the tire to stretch. That night
Mr. O. dreampt that a rhinoceros was
standing on his stomach, and w ith Inghl
ful screams awoke, to the music of his
partner s slumbcis.
