In the Old Home. Like tbo patient moss to the rifted bill 'J he wee brown house is clinging; A last year's nest that is lone and still. Though it erst was tilled with singing. Then fleet were the children’s pattering feet And their trilling childish laughter. And many voices were sweet—oh, how sweet! Ringing from floor to rafter. The beautiful darlings, one by one. From the nest’s safe shelter flying, Went forth in the sheen of the morning . sun. Their fluttering pinion* trying. But oft as the reap ng time is o’er. And the hoar frost cris s the stubble. They haste to the little home once more From the great world’s toil and troubp. F And the mother herself is at the pane, With a hand the dim eyes shading. And the flush of girlhood tints again The cheek that is thin and fading. For her boys and girls are coming home. The mother’s kiss their guerdon, As they cams ere yet they had learned to roam Or bowed to the task and burden. Over he door’s worn sill they trcop, Tht skies of youth above them. The blessing of God on the happy group Who have mother left to love them! They well may smile in the face of care To whom such grace is given — A mother’s faith and a mother’s prayer Holding them close to heaven. There are tiny hands that pull her gown, And small heads bright and golden; The childish laugh and the childish fio.vn, And the dimpled fingers folden. That bring again to the mother-breast The spell of the sunny weather Whan she hushed he.- brood in the crowded nett, ‘ And all were glad together. A truce to the jarring notes of life, The cries of pain and passion! • Over this lu’l in the eager strife Love hovers, Eden-fashion In the wee brown house were jssens taught Os strong and sturdy living. And ever where honcsthands have wrought Ged hears the true Thanksgiving. —The Home-Maker. FAITH GAVE THANKS. —

vOiu, little mother, yo i *are going, and that’s all about it; I shall stay and take care of Bertie; he prefers me; don’t you, dear?” And Faith Darrows turn el j to her little brother, lying all wrapped up on the lounge, where he had been for two weeks, laid up with a broken leg. “Yes, mamm. , you go, and let Faith stay; she

makes it ever so much jollier for a fellow. She’s got lots more’musement in her than you have, mamma, and ’sides, you say yourself, she makes better taffy.” Thore was a general burst of laughter at this remark, for they all knew Bert’s hobby-horse was taffy, saddle I with ’musement. “Thank you, little boy,” Faith answered; “it is a rare thing for me to be appreciated by a young gentleman; Cousin Lute here, for instance, does not agree with you at ail.” And she glanced saucily over to whore he w.is standing. Lute Dinsmore’s face flushed angrily as he met her imperious look, i hut he oil not answer. So, catching her pretty, sweet-faced mother around - the waist, and waltzing her about th' । room, she went on: “Now, I hope,since Bertie agiees, that you are convinced it is your bounden duty to go to grandpa’s and spend Thanksgiving as usual. Don’t interrupt me; I have it all planned, you see — Lute is going to drive you ;.nd the girls over this afternoon, old Mike will sleep in the house to keep off burglars, an t Bertie and I willhaxe glorious fun.” Just lierelet me explain that pretty, sad-faced Mrs. Darrows was a widow with four children. Faith, the eldest, a fun-loving, saucy yoyng lady of la— Belle and Kitty, twin sisteis, two years j younger, and Bertie, a slim, mischievous boy of C—who in searching for I amu emeat in th? top of a tree two weeks before, fell out of it and broke his leg. This accident had quite upset Mrs. Darrows’ plans for s-pending Thanksgiving at her childhood’s home, as she had never failed to do since her ma: riage. Since Mr. Darrows’ death two years before, Luther Dinsmore, a cousin of the fami y, hid live! with them and managed the farm. Ho was a sensible, manly young fellow of 25, with a heart of gold, and all the family were devotedly attached to Idm. Faith alone snubbed him unmercifully, and they quarreled one day and made up the next. Impetuous, fun loving Faith was authority in the Darrows’ hou-ehold, and, as utua', soon won her mother over to her way of thinking in regard to this much talked-of Thanksgiving visit. And at three o'clock that afternoon she stood in the yard, with a shawl wrapped about her, ami watched the happy load drive away in the handsome new cutter, to wh ch the horses had never be: n harnessed before. Shutting her tremulous I ps resolutely, Faith marclie 1 into the house; and all the rest of the afternoon was as sweet and entertaning and Joly as even the fastidious Berlin could wish. While sue was cleaning off their small tea table Mike came into the kitchen, hat in hand, stamm r ng ami hesitating. “May it plaze yer honor, Miss Fai'.h, it’s a favor I’d heather ax ng of yeez, shu.e. Ye see me ould mither is a bit

shaky and down in tho mouth, and I don t loike to be havin’ Ihe likes of her alone ail night—so if ye’d be afther let- > tin’ me off, Miss Faith.” "Do you mean to tell me that you have the heart to leave Bertie and mo all alone to-night? I would never have believed it of you, Mike Donald.” , “Shure it’s not for yeez to shtop alone I d be afther axin’—but lettin’ me sind up me friend, Tim Murphy, to bide in the house all night.” “There, that will do,” with an angry stamp of her foot—“go home, go anywhere you like, but don’t be sending Tim, or any other, to take your place; if you do I will lock the door in his face; do you hear? Bertie and 1 can stay alone, we are not afraid to; we are not cowardly like you. ” The old man sneaked off down the road rather sheepishly, not to go home, she well knew, but down to the village tavern for a drop of liquor and a night’s carousal. Well, there was no help for it, though in spite of her brave words she was at heart a bit of a coward and watched the dark creeping in at the windows rather ruefully. But Bertie of course must not imagine his big sister was afraid of tho dark, so she laughed and frolicked with him. Bertie’s gay prattle became silent. How lonesome it was now. She sewed awhile, then tried reading, and at last, perceiving it was already 11 o’clock, she laid aside her book, put out the light and curled herself up on the hearth-rug near Bertie’s couch with her i head on a chair. Gazing dreamily into the bright lire, with a sigh, she quite forgot for the time that she and Bertie were all alone in the house and only remembeied how gay and festive and bright it was at grandpa’s, fifteen miles away; the rooms aglow with fire and lamp-light, the dancers whirling on the floor. And she taught, now and then, in the sobbing minor of the violins, the round of Cousin Lute’s gay laughter and the gleam of his handsone white teeth. What a delicious laugh he had, and such beautiful teeth and kind, gray eyes. She know just how much he would be petted and made much of down there; he always was. Everybody, young and old, thought him perfection. And ho would talk and laugh and dance with all the girls, and quite forget her troubled, yellow head lying drowsily on a chair at homo and thinking all manner of nonsense about him. And with a hot flush and a quick catch of her breath, she remembered she had not been so lovable and wind to him that he would be likely Xu.l Link as. bar v.-rv tenuo.. J^oxv artery nt> 1 n re> »*. f 71 \ that day in the garden when lie tola ner T he loved her; but he had burled the I words at her as if they had been a loom- । erang or some other missile, and' al- | most in the same breath aided harshly, i with a bitter laugh and a sarea tic i gleam of his white teeth: “Don’t take i the trouble to tell me I am a fool tor j loving you. I am only too well' aware of the fact already, knowing to my sorrow I what a devil of a life you would lead a | man.” She scarcely knew what reply she had j made to it all, only it was something j moeking and saucy and sarcastic, she I remembered. He had never been quite ! the same to her since, she thought, | with a little sob. If only he were only] sitting in the chair over yonder, just I this momtn\ she felt sure she could go i right up to him and whipser softly: “I am -wretched, Cousin Lute; I want i you to forgive me. lam tired of being I naughty and self-willed and rebellious. ! 1 w. nt to try and make myself worthy i of your love, and ” Hark! what was that? Just a tiny, । I tiny noise in the kitchen; only a rat ■ I maybe; but all the blood seemed settling about her heart. Bolt upright now she sat and listened breathlessly. Hush! there it was again, like some one trying to open a window. Hei’ eyes seemed starting from their sockets, her heart । beat so she could scarcely breathe. She I dare I not go out and investigate. Tho I only dcor leading into the sitting-room ■ from the kitchen was locked, but she | glided noiselessly over to the big bookcase in the corner, and heavy as it was wheeled it somehow against the locked door; piled chairs on the table against that* then crept back to Bertie. Presently there came a faint chink a* of breaking glass, and the round of feet stepping softly aLou‘, and the glimmer of a light under the shut door. Half dead with terror, she stood w’lth her arms around Bertie, who still slumbered peacefully. Presently a hand softly j turned the knob of the sitting-room j door, and, -with one terrified shriek, she fell minting across Bertie’s couch. When she opened hei eyes aga’n the room was col I as a barn, there was a window wide open, and her clothes were wet with the water tiiat had been dashed in her face. Bert was w.de awake and chattering like a magpie io — whom do you think? —why, nobody in this world but dear cousin Lute, who was bending over her with a face n:arly as white as her own. He had taken her n other and sisters to th* ir destination, then driven directly back ho ne, as he Lal intruded to do from the first. Find.ng the lights out and eierything qu'eft and fearing to d s- | turb her, he had entered by the kitchen ■win low. The sun Thanksgiving morning ;ose gloriuusly beautiful over all the land. And for once, at least, Faith Darrows did not forget to be thank.ul for God’s ' i blessed goodness. But for once she did ■ forget to quarrel with Lu e Dinsmore ami was sweet and tender and womanI ly, letting her heart speak to him I through her eyes. , At noon the long table, spread in the ■ sitting-room in Bertie’s honor, fairly I groaned with the load o: gcod things - she had prepared. There was a 1 lump I | chic .en, de icately browned and piping 5 । hot; a delicious oyster pic sencls • ing up its savory scent; potatoes steaming in their gray jacke's I i under a snowy napkin, squash yellow , ' as the golden b’ossom that produced it, . I crisp green pickles that made one’s , ! mouth water only to Icok at them, , dainty cranberry . < liy quivering on tiny t 1 saucers, little fro-ted cakes on a pretty

platter, l oncy dripping lazily from its thick whLe comb, pumpkin and mince pie, white and brown bread, and a great dish of luscious pears and rosy-cheeked apples. When it was all ready and two tiny bouquets made from the few flowers she had, and placed by Lute’s and Bertie’s plate, Faith ran up-sta : rs to blush her tumbled hair, bathe her heated face and array herself in her pretty soft-gray gown, a lunch of pink chrysanthemums thrust in Ihc dainty’ bodice. Bert gave a shrill whistle when sho came down, and shouted “Great Scott” in royal school-boy’ fashion; but it was the kind gray eyes watching her so steadily at the other end of the table that made her blush so furiously’. Next day when Mrs. Darrows camo home, and had Bertie in her arms once,* he confided to her “that Thanksgiving Day hadn’t been much of a time ’cept । the dinner. That Faith and he had lots ' of lun until Cousin Lute came home, and after that Faith had Tected him right along, and didn’t loom to care to ’muse anybody else but l ute. Not but what Cousin Lute is good enough most m^mina, but I do th nk too much oi him is a newsance.”

...... A* OUH W. And that night when Faith, with her blushing face hidden on her mother’s neck, told the sweet old story of Lute’s love for her and their reconciliation, she added with a touch of her old sarcasm, but it I ever have any more lovemaking on hand, deliver me from having

Bert around; he won’t even let anyone be ‘spooney' with comfort.’’ “Why are you harsh and unloving. Filling my poor heart with pain? Livesyounz as ours should be happy; Whisper forgiveness again. Why do you talk of my follies? How can you censure and scorn? Kiss me, sweetheart, and forgive me. this dear blessed Thanksgiving morn.” —Ladle/ World. THE FIRST THANKSGIVING. An OHlcial Proclamation Recommending Its Observance Was First Issued in 1753. * In "Young’s ( hronicles of the Pilgrims” the following is found: "The harvest being gotten in, the Governors; nt four men on a fowling < xpeiition that they might rejoice in a special manner. Amongst other recreations they exercised in arms and feasted Massasoyt, with some ninety’ men, for three days. November, 1621.” Thanksgiving, 1892.

RESULTS IN DETAIL. INTERESTING FIGURES FROM THE POLITICAL BATTLE. A Summary of the Vote In AU of the States Made Up as Complete as Possible from the Latest Associated Press Dispatches. Wisconsin. Cleveland has undoubtedly carried Wisconsin by a plurality probably exceeding 10,0(0, and Peck, Dem., is elected over Spooner, though by a decreased figure. Republicans gain three, and the Democrats lose ’two, Congressmen in the State, the Republicans electing four and the Democrats six of the ten. In the last Congress the Wisconsin delegation stoo l eight Democrats and one Republican. Und< r the apportionment law of 1890 Wisconsin increased its Congressional representation from nine to ten. The Congress-men-elect by districts are as follows: First, H. A. Cooper, Rep., by 3,000; Second, Charles Barwig, Dem.; Third, John W. Babcock, Rep.; Fourth, John L. Mitchell, Dem.; Fifth, George H. Brickner, Dem.; Sixth, Owen A. AVells, Dem.; Seventh, Geo. B. Shaw, Rep., by 2,755; Eighth, Lyman E. Barnes, Dem., by 1,800; Ninth, Thomas Lynch, Dem.; Tenth, Nils B. Haugen, Reo., bv 4.500.

AAiviipVU, xvvp., MJ Tj’VIIV. The Lt gislature is Democratic in both the Senate and Assembly. With their lifleen hold-over Senators the Democrats will have twenty-five of the thirtythree members of the State Senate, and they will have a majority of thirty-one on joint ballot. Illinois. Illinois^ gives Cleveland a plurality of over 25,000, and elects a Democratic Governor, Altgeid. by several thousand. There is little doubt that the next Congressional delega ion from Illinois will bo compose 1 of the following: First District, J. Frank Aldrich, Republican; Second District, L. E. McGann, Democrat; Third District, A. C. Durborow, Jr., Democrat; Fourth Di’trict, Julius Goldzier, Democrat; Fifth District, A. J. Hopkins, Republican; Sixth District, R.

Fithian, Democrat; Seventeenth District, Edward Lane, Democrat; Eighteenth Di-trict, W. S. Forman, Democrat; Nineteenth District, J. R. Williams Democrat. Twentieth District, G. W. Smith, Republican. ludhina. Indiana gives a safe plurality for tho Democratic electors, and from the latest return-* it is figured that eleven Democratic Congressmen are chosen, with the First still doubtful. The delegation will ] robably be made up as fo.lows: First District, A. H. Taylor. Dem.; Second, John L. Bretz. Dem.; Third, Jason B. I rown. Dem.; Fourth, William S. Hol man, Dem.; Fifth, Ggoigg 'W.Copper, j Daniel Wsiugh, RepG~ : Tenui, an unuo । Hammond, Dem.; Eleventh, A. N. Alar- i tin. Dem.; Twelfth. William F. McNag- ; ney, Dem.; Thirteenth, C. G. Coon, I Dem. The Legislature will be Demo- j cratic by about 33 majority on joint j ballot, insuring the re-election of Tur- : pic to the United States Senate. Allchigau. The following are the Congressmen- ! elect in Michigan and their approximate i majorities: first District, J. Logan I Chipman (Dem.), 2,RW; Second, S. Gorman (Dem.), 750; Third, Julius C. Burrows (Rep.), 5,C00; Fourth. Dr. H. F. Thomas (Rep.), 250; Fifth, George F. Richardson (Dem.), 6- 0; Sixth, D. D. Aitkin (Rep.), 500; Seventh, Justin R. Whiting (Dem.), 100; Eighth, W. S.

The Democrats have elected Presidential Electors in the eastern district and in the First, Sec nd, Seventh, an I Tenth Consresi sional Districts. They hope yet lor the I Eighth District.

lowa. Harrison’s plurality in lowa will reach about 22.000. The entire Hepublican State ticket is elected by about the same plurality. The Congressional delegation will stand ten Bepubiicans and one Democrat, as follows: First District, John H. Gear, majority, 5(0; Second, Walter I. Hayes (Dem.), majority 8,000; Third, D. B. Henderson, majority 1,500; Fourth, Updegraff, majority 1,300; Fifth, R. B. Cousins, ma’ority 400; Sixth, J. F. Laera, majority 1,200; Seventh, J. A. T. Hull, majority 4,500; Eighth, W. P. Hepburn, majority 1,100; Tenth, J. P. Dolliver, 3,500; Eleventh, G. D. Perkins, majority 1,50(’. Minnesota. Harrison has undoubtedly carried Minnesota. Nelson, Bep., is elected Governor by a plurality of 12,000 to l-\-000. The following seem to have been elected to Congress: First District— Tawney, Rep.; Second—McCleary,Rep.; Third—Hall, Dem.: Fourth — Kiefer, Rep.; Fifth—«Fletehfr, Rep.; Sixth— Searle, Rep.; Seventh —Feig, Rep. Sufficient returns have been received to show that the Republicans will have a majority of twenty-eight in the Legislature on joint ballot, thus insuring the re-election of C. K. Davis to the I nited States Senate. Th? Dakotas. Harrison has carried North Dakota by 2,50 V. Johnson, Rep., is elected to Congress I y 3,000. The Republican State ticket receives average pluralities oi 2,500, while the Legislature is in doubt. Scattering returns at hand indicate that Harrison Electors have carried South Dakota. The Republican State ticket is certain. • Pickier and Lucas. Reps., are elected to Congress. The Legislature is probably Republican. Chairman Peemiller, of the Democratic State Committee, still claims the State for the Weaver Electors. Nebraska. It is too early to give the exact vote of Nebraska. The entire Republicar State ticket is undoubtedly elected bj pluralities ranging from 1,000 to 2,1(6 The Legislature will stand: 54 Populists, 33 Democrats, and 46 Republicans. Ohio. Chio has apparently gone Republican With only two counties to hear from unofficial returns give the Hairisoi electors 917 plurality, and Col. A. W Taylor, Republican candidate for Sec

retary o? State, a plurality of 1,055. The latter gained 197 votes through an error discovered in the returns from Summit County. Only the official count will determine the result.

The majority for Clevelanl may rea h 70,000. Louisiana—The entire Democratic delegation to Congress is c. osen and the State goes for Cleveland by more than 50,000. No: th Carolina—The Democratic majority will probably be reduced by the People’s party vote, but not enough to hurt the ticket.

Washington—Harrison has at least •j 5,000 plurality. McGrew, Rep., for Govi ernor, leads, while the vote on the two i Congressmen is close, favoring the Re- • publicans. No estimates on the LegisI iature. Connecticut— Cleveland’s plurality, I 5,417. Four years ago it was 336. The entire Democratic ticket is probably elected. The State Senate is a tie, and the Republ’cans have about 20 majority in the House. West Virginia—The Pemecrats confidently claim the election of all four Congressmen. Cleveland will undoubt-

edly be given the Electoral vote, and 1 the election of the entire Democratic - State ticket is Generally concede!. Colorado—Weaver has carried the I State.
