Weloomo, '1 hanksgiving day! What ever wo way think of New England tho- ' ology, wo all liko Now England Thanks 1 giving day.

Methinks it will bo a healthful ohango if on thiu yoar's Thanksgiving in ohuroh and homestead ' wo colcbrato tho victories of tho plow, 1 the hamrnor and tho pod; for nothing was dono at Santiago or Manila that was of nioro importance than that whioh 1 in tho 1 .tst year haH boon dono in I farmer's field and mcohanio's shop and au'lur's study by tboso who Dover wcro an epaulet or shot a Spaniard or wont I a hutdred miloa from their own door- < sill. Come up, farmers and mechanics i and literary men, and got your dues as < far as I oan pay them. I Thiugs havo marvolously ohanged. 1 Times was when tho stern cdiot of i government forbado religious assom- < blagos. Those who dared to bo po un- ^ loyal to their king as to aoknowlcdgo t loyalty to tho lloadoftho Univorso t were punished. Churohos awfully silent i in worship suddenly heard their doors j swung open and down upon tho church I aislo a sooro of muskots thumped as tho loadors bado them ''Ground araii!" i This custom of having tho fathors. tho i husbands, tho sons and brothora at tho i entrance of tho pow is a oustom which < oarno down from olden time, whon it was absolutely neoossary that tho father or brothor flhould sit at tho end i of tho ohuroh pow fully armod to do- 1 fond the holplifis portion of tho family, lfut dow, how ohanged! Sovcro penalties aro threatened against any ono who i shall interrupt religious services, and annually, at tho oommand of tho highest ofiioial in tho United Statos, wo gather together for thanksgiving and holy worship. Today I would Btir your souls to joyful tharkseiving whilo I speak of ttio m< roios of God and in un conventional way recount tho conquests of tho plow, tho hammer and tho pen. Most of imploments of husbandry havo boon supersodod by modern iuvoutions, but tho plow ban novor lost its roign. It has furrowed its way through all tho agos. Its vio;ories havo been woved by tho lailey of Palestine, tho whoat of Persia, tho lUx of Gor | many, tho rioo stalks of China, tho rich grasses of Italy. It has turned up tho i mammoth of Siberia, tho miastodon of Egypt and tho pino groves of Thossaly. Its iron foot hath marohod whoro Moses i wroto and Homer sang and Aristotle taught and Alox&ndcr mounted his war i ohargor. It hath wrung its ooltcr on i Norwegian wilds and ripped out tho < BtumpH oi tno Amonoan foroat, pushing i its way through tho savannas of tho > Carolinas and trembling in tho grasp of < tho Now natnpahiro voomaury. Amori- 1 oan civilization hath kept atopB with < tho rattlo of its olovisoa, and on its i bram hath riddon thrift and national ? plenty. f I do not wonder that tho Japaucao s and tho Chineao and tho Phoenicians < bo particularly extolled huabandry or > that Cinoinnatua went from tho oonaul- 1 ship to tho plow or that Noath waa a l farmer hoforo ho booamo a shipbuilder 1 or that Eliaha was in tho Hold plowing with twolvo yoko of oxon when tho c mantlo foil on him or that tho Egyp- j tiana in thoir paganism worshiped tho a ox a tillor of thoil lands.

"Neither can tho t people," said hit) wife mostBuggostivoly, j and thon they wont back to tho till j go. y Although moot of us havo nothing c dircotly to do with tho tillago of tho soil, yot in all our oooupationB wc fool tho effect of successful or blighted in* J dustry. We must, in all our oooupa- ' tions, rejoioo over tho victories of tho 1 plow today. Tho earth was onoe ours- 8 cd for man's sake, and oooasionaly tho ? Boil revongoB itself on us by refusing a ' bountiful harvest. 1 supposo that but 8 for sin tho earth would bo produoing wheat and oorn and sweot fruits as * naturally ac now it produoos mullein ' stalks and Canada thistlon. Thoro is * hardly a hillook between the forostfl of j Maine and the legions of Florida, bo* ' tweon the peaoh orchards of Now Jor- * soy and the pines of Orogon that has 8 not sometime shown its natural and to* v tal depravity. Tho thorn and thistlo 1 seem to have usurped the soil, and J nothing but the rebellion of the plow ^ oan uproot tho evil supremaoy. But Qod is good. Now, i if one of our sea- .J -'-'W ft fftUuro, the ^ bmo of thorn, iojurod by drought or nscots or froshots, worn not as bcautiul ai usual, others far iu cxcojs of ?hat h?v j ever before b on gathered, rhi'e higher prions will help mtko up or any decreased supply.

From Atlantic to Paoifio let tho Auicricaa nation oolobtato thi viotories ef tho plow. L oooie next to speak of tho conquests cf tlio Amouoau hammer. Its iron arm has fought its way down lrom tho boiinciog to tho j roaont. Under its iwirg the oily of K looh rose and tho foundry of Tubal Cain resounded and Iho ark floated on tho dolugo. At its :lang anoiont temples spread thoir cunguifioonoo aud chariots rushed out it lor tho battle. Its iron list smote iho matblo of Pares, and it roso in loulptured Minorvaa and Btruok tho Pontoliean miaou until from them a Parthenon was reared whiter than a palaoo of ioo and puio as an angoPe Jream. Damascus and .Jerusalem ana Porno and Vouioo sod Paris and L ;n ion and Philadelphia ar.d New York and Washington are but tho long pro Lractod oohoes of tho hammer. Under iho hammer everywhere dwellings havo gono up, ornato and luxurious, fcdohool houses, lyooums. hospitals and asylums have added additional gh ry to the enterprise as well as tho tuned, onoo of tho American peoplo. Vad public works bavo boon ooustruoted, bridgos havo boon built ovor rivers and tun ncla dug under our mountains, and churohos ol ma'ohlcss beauty have gone up for hiui who bad not whoio to lay Ins boad, and tho old thoory is exploded that beoauso Christ was born in a manger wo must always worship him in a barn, Railroads of fabulous length bavo bocu completed, over which western trains rush past tho swift footed deer, making tho frightened birds to dart into the heavens at tho cough of tho smoke tiugs and tho savago yell of the steam whistles, lu hot haste our national industry advances, hor breath tho air of ton thousand furnaces, hor song the 7oioo of uncounted factories, hor foot<top tho Hash of wheois buokots and .ho tread of tho shaft and tho stamp of foundries, talk about antcdiluviau longevity. i think tho average of human lfo is moro now than it over was.
