A HUMBLE THANKSGIVING. We cannot show a grand army Of toothsome things Thanksgiving I)ay? The day so very near; Our little pautry will not boast Delicious viands by tke host To every palate dear. 'Neath weight of all the good things known Our little table will not groan. No, not the very least; Our little home will not be blest With many a weicome, joyous guest To help us at the feast. Yet, notwithstanding what we lack, We'll not regretfully look back And sigh for better days; But we will fill in every part The spac ious store rooms of our heart With gratitude and praise. We'll count our present blessings o'er, And we shall find they number more Than all our trials do; Our happy, thoughtful hearts shall be Deli?htful guests?right royally They will reward us, too. To seats we once did occupy We'll not look up with wistful eye And covetous unrest; But bending low down our gaze To poorer homes, to sadder ways, Thank God we are so blest. Thank God that though our homo is small, It still contains the dear ones all. Rich in affection's wealth; Thank God we have enough to eat. Thank God for clothing warm and neat. Thank God for perfect health. Thank God we feel the fire's warm glow, While many cold and fire less go ? In many a cheerless home. Oh, yes, most gratefully we'll lift Our souls to God for every gift And trust for all to come. Thus 'round our frugal little board, With cheerrtil hearts wo'U praise tho Lord . And keep the jubilee; Nor shall there anywhere be found. Within this nation's utmost bound, A happier family. Fanny Percival. THE MIKADO'S FATE. A THANKSGIVING TRAGEDY. It was about the first of November that tho big turkey, the Mikado of the farmyard, was given a house all to himself and everybody waited upon him in the most untiring man ner. At first ho was somewhat astonished at so marked a change in his fortunes. Such extraordinary consideration as he now re ceived at everybody's hands amazed him for a time, but he soon settled it in his mind en tirely to his satisfaction. "Ho! ho!" Lc said. "Ha! ha! Thoy have just learned lpy worth. I have always known that I was a great genius, with a brain as big as a wash tub, and 1 think tho other turkeys, poor insignificant things, und the chickens, sorry creatures, knew it also. At least, they have all shown a wholesome respect for my power, but I must admit that I have been slow to impress tho people with my import ance. It Las come at last, however. See how thty truckle to me, kow-tow to me, sup ply my evory Avant almost before it is felt, and make menials of themselves to cater to my pleasure I" This be said to himself as he walked by himself. The other citizeus of tho farmyard looked at him with glowering faces and the bitterness of envy in their hearts. Ho bad always tyrannized over them, and they hated aim with a hatred all tho more deadly because it was concealed under tho mask ot respect Now, though ho had never done a humane or generous thing in bis life, they beheld him housed and feasted like a king, with tho sauce of admiration served up to hira every hour. They couldn't under stand it; they saw no justice in it, and they murmured against it. '?OH, I Alt THE GREAT MIKADO." A poor, hard working hen who had brought up her family by the strictest economy and most faithful industry, and who had been robbed of her last bite again and again by the heartless Mikado, spoke her mind about it. "It's an outrage," she said, "an outrage cn all decent fowls to see that brute of a Mi kado in clover up to his comb while tho rest of us scratch from morning till night merely to keep lifo in our bodies. Such things aro rapidly creating an aristocracy of sei. In the future when male and female are both equal before tho law there will be none of this. But it's the way of tho world, and always has been. The basest and least de serving get into power, because the}* are so coarse that they can ride right over any obstacle, having no sensibilities to wound." Here a great swell of a cock, a monopolist of high degree, looked away and pretended not to hear; but tho others listened attentive ly, sighed, and admitted that it was bard to riso in the world while such monsters as tho Mikado had the power to oppress. A middle-aged anarchist sputtered around at a great rate; but as ho had always talked rather more than ho should they didn't give him tho closest attention. A fair and fat hen of good figure smiled scornfully, and said that one could expect nothing but coarse vanity from a person of really low pedigree like tho Mikado. For her part, come what would, sho hail tho comforting knowledge that the blood of the Brahmas flowed in her veins. Her an cestors were Asiatic kings. Then sho strut ted around io show off her figure, which really was perfect. A young turkey, who was considered some thing of a crank because he wore glasses, was greatly given to philosophy and meta physics, Lad gone so far as to lecture a little and was thinking of starting a newspaper, here piped up: "It is my opinion, frieude, that we are to blame for our lack of success. The Mikado is merely carrying out tho theories of the new school of Boston thinkers and the occultists of tho cast, which he has dropped on, I verily believe, through my teaching. He hns a powerful will, and he has secretly and persistently demanded tho good things of lif,> and is getting them. Tho great force, my friend-, is mind. But while wo have been talking ubout it, he, like the pirate he is, has grabbed the idea and put it into operation." An old and opinionated cat that had been apparently sleeping on a fenco post now had a word to say. "You are very inexperienced creatures. When you have lived as long as I have (which none of you aro likely to do, I um sorry to say, for reasons it would bo in delicate now to mention) you will know that what appears sometimes to bo great good for tune is really the greatest curse that could befnll us. I will not here go into particulars, but I will entreat you not to bo envious of the Mikado. This is a very dramatic world. The man who is up to-day may be down to-mor row. Envy no one. Perhaps your hard lot is better a thousand times for your soul's good than the wealth of a Gould or a Vnoderbilt, or even tho Mikado. Ben Franklin spoke wisely when ho said: He that is down need fear no fall, He that is humble none at all." Just theu the Mikado, whose doors had been opened by the beautiful daughter of the house to give him an hour's walk in the sunshine, came near them with lordly gait, head erect and wings craping the earth in overwhelm ing pride. In spito of the cat's sermon on humilit5,in tho face of the fact that they know she spoko the truth, they felt shriveled and mean in the presence of this petted and admired creature. He walked near them, smiled scornfully, and said: Stand out of tho way, you creatures small, Stand out of tho way of my shadow; For I am the king and boss of all, Oh, I am the great Mikado. And they stood out of his way, though here and there was one who could not re frain from shedding tears, so deep was his humiliation. The mistress of tho house, accompanied by a friend, just then appeared on tho other side of the fence, and tho object of their at tention seemed to bo tho Mikado. Ho wasn't slow to show bis appreciation of th9 dis tinction, either. He strutted and gobbled in the most pompous and self-gratulatory way. TUE MIKADO AT TUE FEAST. "Isn't ho magnificent?" said the visitor. "I should think he would weigh nearly twenty pounds. Oh, isn't he a treasure':'' The Mikado heard this remark and almost fainted with delight "Ah," he thought, "I was right in always believing myself an im portant personage. I hear it now from the lips of those who huve heretofore pretended to be my superiors." "What do you feed bim out" asked tho visitor. "Oat meal scalded in hot milk and various little dainties. It's a joy to see him eat." At this tho Mikado felt himself bursting with pride. "My duughter is to be married on Thanks giving day, and he is to be the great featuro Of the taule," said the hostess. "Oh, my," thought tho Mikado, "won't that be fine;" I am to figure at a wedding, to be the great featuro of the whole proceeding, it seams. I must order something nice to wear." The cat on the fence post also heard, but she only licked her lips nnd smiled knowingly. I Tho days went on and the Mikado only grew fatter and more domineering every j hour, and the other fowls bscauiemoro and more cast down. On Thanksgiving morning hi* doors wero ! opened and ho was invited to come forth, j This was the day on which he was to receivo ! greater honors than evor, nnd ho waddled Ottt, cumbered by his excessive flesh, with ^more arrogauco than usual. He was a little surprised when tho hired man grabbed him by the legs and suddenly inverted him. It i was an undignified attitude for a bird of his plumage, to fay the least; but he reflected a moment and concluded that it was but lit ting, after all, for a creature of his distinc- | tion to be carried, and of course this awk ward fellow didn't know how to carry him gracefully or even comfortably. Ho had no time to frame other thoughts, for in a moment more the hired man had as sassinated him, and his head was lying on one side of tho chopping block and his body 00 the other. His late envious associates ran in all direc tions, chilled with horror, nor were they seen | again that day. Ho graced the feast, to ho sure; he was the great feature of it, but not in the capacity ho had so conceitedly autici pa ted. Instead of the fine suit of fashionablo garments ho had expected to bo arrayed in, : he appeared shorn of his feathers, with his j skin cruelly browned and his legs cut off at : the knees, a sorry nnd humbled Mikado, surely. In a short timo his very memory was for- j gotten, or recalled only with a sneer, or to be Cited as an example of what conceit will bring 1 any ono to. The day after Thanksgiving there was a ! little talk jver his head and his bones, which were found in a ditch by his despised com rades. His fate was a lesson to them. "After all," said one, "we might have | known that such a sudden rise into uflluence could bode no good. Up like r. rocket and down like a stick, you know." "Do 3'ou remember my words," said tho cat, who came strolling along, bulging in , body more than usual from having enjoyed extraordinary Thanksgiving blessings. "I told you to envy no one; that it was a dangerous thing to roach such eminence as tho Mikado enjoyed. Poor fool, he did enjoy , it while it lasted." "Could it be," Faid the young turkey with tho eyeglasses and taste for metaphysics, "could it be that my doctrines led him astray? Still, ho was a good illustration of the truth of what I have been preaching? that if you persistently desire the best you will get it. But the best, in his ease, didn't seem to be really good for him, after all, anil now the question arises: 'Is it good for any of us' I must admit that I am somewhat confused on this point, and, in spite of the Mikado's grave faults of character, I lament the tragedy in which he was the victim. For somo reason, his death was the occasion of general rejoicing in tho house, and I have even piekcrl up a word hero and thorn which goes to show that the people who were the cause of his death gave thanks over his body. 1 Thoy actually called the day'Thanksgiving,' so grateful were they that he was gone. Per haps they feared that in his excessive love of power he would rise some daj', seize tho reins of government, and trample them all under his feet. If so, I half excuse tho . murder, though 1 urn too much of a Bud dhist to sympathize with a festival which sanctions the destruction <Jf living creatures, and the eating of them, too. In the round of existence, depend upon it, my friends, all such things uro evened up. They who kill shall be killed in turn; if not in this Ufo, in somo embodiment iu tho far future." The hen who was in favor of equal suffrage said that after all there were compensations iu life. She still held her old views; but she had learned a lesson in patience. Her dream of political equality would bo realized; hut she must wait, Olid while she waited work as well as talk. A very aged old bird of no par ticular lineage cleared his throat just then. As he was generally silent, he commanded great attention when he did sjwak. He said: "You are getting on to the true philosophy of life nt hist. Agitation doesn't accomplish halt' as much as people think it does. The in fluences which rtiaily move the world ure i the talk over his head and bones. subtle. Your talkers think they revolution ize the world; but the real power comes from higher, much higher" ? and he subsided into silence. Tho noted anarchist rooster had nothing at all to say until his views were called for. Even then he evaded it until cornered and compelled to talk. Then ho straightened up and put on his old time, important manner. "It is tho beginning of the end, my friends," ho said. "Monsters like the Mikado die of their own greed. They are their own execu tioners. Had ho divided his abundance with us we would all havo bad a layer or so of the fat which encumbered him and brought him to grief, and he might havo been alivo to-da3'. But, no?ho must have tho earth. Nothing was too much for him. Wo had to starve that ho might live. All of you can testify that he lived upon the proceeds of }rour labor, for you scratched and he came along just as your bito was ready for your mouth and snatched it from you, and you dared not say your souls were your own." "But what of tho lady with t he purest blood of Asia in her veins?" asked a dapper young cock. "I haven't seen her to-day. "Nor havo I," said a dozen voices. Hero the cat spoke again. " I am sorry to say that our fair friend has shared tho Mikado's fate. The chief cause of pride with her proved her nun. Her good blood gave her a fine figure, and the people of this country aro a flesh-eat ing race. They havo no scruples against eat ing any of you who arc so unfortunate as to possess sweet, clean flesh. So you see that it is uover safe to boast." "Oh, dear; what a diflicult aud dangerous world to live in!" sail', all in one voice. The old house dog, who was fond of Shakes peare, came on tho scene, sniffed contemptu ously at the Mikado's bones, and said: "Alas! he lived for self, and now none are so poor as to do him reverence." Gertrude Garrison. THE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING. A Purely Puritan Festival of Kejolclng Over Worldly Things. As if to resist the bitterness and sadness of tho failing year, tho most gonial and kindly of all our festivals occurs at tho end of No vember. Its very name, "Thanksgiving," be trays its pious origin?an origin unmixed with any prior tradition. The great Christian festival of Christmas stretches backward to yule logs and mistletoes, to Scandinavian and Briton heathenry; nor does it lose by tho graceful, happy association. But Thanks giving is purely Puritan. It is tho good, warm heart conquering tho tough head and ascetic manner of tho old pilgrims. ? In Elliott's "New England History" you may read that in l?2.'i, after the harvest, Governor Bradstreet sent out a company to 5hoot game to famish a dainty feast of re joicing after the labors of the colony. Hav ing followed tho directions of the governor, and the principle of the excellent Mrs. Glass, they cooked their gatno and invited Massa loit and some ninety other savages, and all fell to and devoured the feast, thanking God "for the good world and the good tilings in it." ! Think of that little shivering band clustered on the bitter edge of the continent, with tho future before them almost as dark as the forest, behind them, many of them with such long lines of happy memories in Old England flashing across the S':a Into tho gloom of their present, position like gleams of ruddy firelight that stream far out of tho cheerful chimney into tho cold winter night?and tlSnk of tho sama festival now, when our govern ors and our president invite millions of pcoplo to return thanks to the great giver of harvests; and the millions of peoplo obeying, sacrifice hecatombs of turkeys and pumpkins und pour out seas of cider and harmless wine. good old thanksgiving calling in the poor and weary. It might be dangerous to stake one's repu tation upon the assertion that Thanksgiving is a strictly religious feast. It is a day of practical rejoicing in tho good things of this world, and there may even be people whose mouths are fuller of turkey than their hearts of thanks. But every year the area of tho feast enlarges. Every year there are more people who sit down to "groaning boards," as the reporters happily express it, upon occa sions of civic festivity. Dear old Thanksgiving! Long and long may his hospitable board be spread Long and long may he stand, benignant, at his door, calling in the poor and tho weary, the blind and tho lame, even as the old Puritans called in Massasoit and ninety other savages. Bich in blessings nml reverend in years, may good old Thanksgiving last with the continent, knitting closer the ties of family and friend ship; its cheerfulness beaming like the .smile of a patriarch; its charity burning like a cen tral lire, warming all the year and lighting up every dark day of care and sorrow. Capt. F. W. Dawson, editor of the News and Courier, has made a noble and eloquent appeal to the people of South Carolina in behalf of the linync monument. The World considers the President's | theory of civil service reform an edict against free speech, and therefore uncon stitutional. Let the people veto it. I POWDER Absolutely Pure.

I am first cousin of the late Ex-Governoi Alexander II. Stephens, and have been postal clerk on different railroads since 1S?8. For ten years I have been a stillerer from a cancer on my face, which grew worse until the discharge of matter became profuse and very offensive I became thoroughly disgusted with blood purifiers and pronounced then: humbugs, as I had tried many without relief. Finally I was induced to use B. B. 13., which was about tin: 1st of February, and continued its use until the latter part of April. The offensive discharge decreased at once and the hardness around the cancer disappeared. It improved my general health and I rapidly gained flesh and strength. The discharge gradually de creased and the cancer became less and less in sixc until nothing remains except a scar to tell the tale of a once dangerous cancer. All who have seen me. since 1 have com menced the. use of B. B. B. bear testimony cf my great improvement, and the sear on my face shows that it cured the cancer. I find that B. B. B. comes squarely up to what it is recommended, and I cannot say too much in praise of this wonderful medi cine. I have tried them all but B. B. B. stands at the top as a blood purifier. The above is copied from the Athens, (Ga.) Banner-Watchman, being the volun teer language of Mr. James A. Grcer, which Editor Gantt indorses : "Mr. Grcer is an honest, upright citizen of Athens, who had a bad cancer, and his numerous friends thought that lie could not live very long, as the cancer was grad ually sapping the foundation of his con stitution, but now looks well and hearty. a Against is. Several physicians have pronounced my disease blood poison, caused by paint or lead in the pailit, but they could not cure me. Last summer 1 used eighteen bottles of a largely advertised blond medicine, which did me no more good than so much water. 1 have used only two bottles of B. B. B. and am proud to say that 1 have received greater benefit from them than from Ike eighteen, and ain now rapidly recovering. There is no question about the superiority of B. B.
