THH FARMER'S TH ANICSOIVINO.
The eiurth is brown and the skies ?ro gray,
And the windy woods are bare.
And the first white flakes of the coming snow
Are afloat in tho frosty air.
Hut the sparks fly up from the hickory log,
, And tho homestead's broad stone hearth,
And tho windows shako and tho rafters ring
To tho lads and tho laseos' mirth.
Tho farmer's face in furrowed and worn,
And his looks are thin and white,
Hut his hand is firm and his voice is cle?uy
And his eye is blue and bright
As he turijp to look at his sweet old wife,
Who sits in tho gown of gray,
With cobweb kerchief and creamy frills
sue wore on her wodding day.
lie bows his head to the laden board,
And his guests thev are silent all?
^'Thanksgiving, Lord, for tho rain and sun,
And the fruit on the orchard wall,
For the silver wheat and tho golden corn,
And the star of a toilsome life,
The groatest blessing that Thou canst give?
A true and loving wife!"
This white-haired lover he bends to kiss
Her hand in its frill of lace,
And the fadod rose on her wrinkled cheek,
With a proud and courtly grace.
And the suowtlakes click on tho window
pane.
And tho rafters ring above,
And angels carol the farmer's thanks
... As they mount to tho Gates of Love.

In the evening the girls broughtap- |

Abbie arose and went to the door. He* i
ijuiek ears had detected a strange
sound. A moment later a lad came i
panting into the room. (
"Look out, Thankful; they are com- |

"They havo killed her, air, while
?ho was trying to save my lifo," said
the officer, and he wopl liko a child.
But she was not dead. They lifted
her tonderly and carried her to her
room under the gable roof and when
they saw that she opened her eyes and
that her lips moved they wero rejoiced,
and thero was a prayer of
thanksgiving to God that lie had
spared her life that night.
A few days later tho order came
from the General instructing Captain
Folsout to deliver tho prisOhor under
his chin-ire til th<- diitnosts Of the Brit
i*h army at the Bronx in exchange,for
it wan demonstrated that he hail told
the truth when lie saiil that ho had
strayed within the patriot lines by accident.
Ah he was about to go away lje said
to Captain Folsom : "I have one favor
t > ask. May I sec Mistress Thankful
for an instant alone?'' It was permitled.
He went and stood by her bedside
and took her hand, "Thankful,"
said lie, "1 am going away. It is not
right that I should speak to you except
?nrnestlv and seemingly directing two
jr three men of the company to take
this man in charge, and scarcely knowing
what sho did she approached her
father and was so ner.r that sho could
lisve put lior hand upon his shoulder
before ho saw her.
"Sir," she heard her father say,
"you were captured within our lines
without a pass and having no authority
to he there. I am going to send you
with a guard to the commander of our
may, who is in the camp a dozen
miles or so beyond. He will discover
whether you aro no British spy, but
liave strayed, as you have said, within
inir lines l?y accident."
"What has ho done, father?" the
girl asked, for she was tilled with pity
for this man, who seemed so proud and
ret so pleading in his manner.
"What Thankful, is it you? Why
ire you here, my daughter?" said the
['aptaiu.
"I came to welcome you, father."
"But this is no place for you. Wo
liave a prisoner."
"A prisoner! Surely lie can do no
liarm. He is not like an army man
ind he seems well favored."
"Nevertheless we found him wanTaring
within our lines and there are
qiics about and he may be one of
;hose."
"A spy? Surely, 1 think not."
And the irirl went to the nrisoner
md stood before him in the innocence ]
if maideuly confidence and looked full
into his eyes, lifting her head to do so,
ror ho was tall and seemed to tower
far above her in his splendid presence.
'You are no spy," she said at last.
"No, my child, not a spy. .! am an
itliecr of the King's army who has
strayed within your lines. Thank you
or your sympathy. You have beauty
n your face, my child, but you have
vlmt is hotter?you have sympathy.
The girl went hack to her father and

"But it is dot namo," she Baid. 1
"I have heard my mother say that on 1

bade him hurry home, and when he v
came homo he found me there, though S
I was not there went he went away, c

over her and touched his lips to her I
