Verily, the life of man is as that of tin* "grass whieh perisheth," and the life of nations is the aggregate of tin* existence of its individuals, and all have within their death the perm of the after-existing. Not a root of en deavor and longing sinks down into eternity, drops its flower iind seed and is forgot ten of earth, but lias its res urrection. iind there is not a storm that hows the head nor a lightning flash that rends the soul with pain but carry on their wings radiance for the flower and vigor for the seed. The year over whieh now the ashes of remembrance are scattered has been to our nation a time of travail. From the heart list one of the artisan have pone up the wail of hungry childhood and the prayer of destitute mothers. The hammer and the anvil have been cov ered witli rust. The heart-heats of commerce have been sofaintand feeble that timid souls, gazing* from afar upon our iiillicted nation, have .tried that she was upon the verge of dissolution, that her proud edifices of Fraternal Love and i/.uiiest ic Content were crumbling to the dust. Tip* seasons have frowned the husbandman, and there has 1 distress east and west, north south; fire and famine, flood insurrection have touched the 'land, and yet the patriot people of our country, though still thrilling with the memory <>f recent grief, can look up to Heaven and thunk (lod for what the year has brought. It is not in the sun light of prosperity that the soul real izes to tin* full its blessing's, but only when it lias just emerged from the shadow of calamity is it able to com prehend the chastening love that “wounds to'heal." Again has that lesson of the immuta bility of the law of progressive crea tion the “survival of the fittest”— been read by those who see in the events of each passing day the details of the scheme by whieh the world is to be lifted to grander planes of thought and action. The triumph were barren were its teachings unheeded. The winds, sipldng above tin* graves of those who perished in their madness, or fi ll victims to the ircxplicable fren zy of wanton force, bear to us not only tin* sound of weeping, they arc fraught with whispers of promise.

The bore—for every country editor's sanctum lias its bore, just as much as every dog has a tail, and, in reality, more so. If a dog is deprived of his tail he will never, never get an other, but if a newspaper office loses its Imre his place is soon tilled by a suc- cessi >r. The particular bore that infested the Clarion ofiiee was like tin* bore that in fests every other country newspaper office. He came day after day, and sat and gabbed and blabbed and spat and blew where lie listisl. t',n>n this oc casion he was engaged in the arduous task of overhauling the editor's barrel of exchanges. Whatever it was that he wnntedtofind.it was always tit tin.* bottom of the barrel. When he dug down in the barrel and turned tin* bot tom part of its eontcnls up to tin* top, the particular periodical tluit he yearned for was still at the bottom. Meanwhile, the editor, grown callous to the presence of the bore, mused sadly: ‘ Man wants but little here below— and generally gets it. What have I to be thankful for?" Times hail gone hardly with him dur ing the past summer and autumn. Tin* pawpaw crop had been a total failure, and lie had not seen a complimentary ticket to a circus in many moons. He had not received a dollar on subscrip tion till the week, nor a peek of eoun- try produce since early in the month. “Vox I’opuli,” liis trusted correspond ent, had risen against him two or three times recently and unblushingly ad vocated theories diametrically anti- gaddling. so to speak, to tin* political policy of the editorial side of t in* paper. This had lost him subscribers. Things had gone fro?. . bad to worse till now he was dow 1 to zero in finances and feelings. Itcecntly the wife of liis bosom had eloped with a man who owed him eighteen dollars, leaving the editor with three small red-headed children on his hands. And now. as if fate, having gotten him down, was desirous of dancing on t ’VfY #7 _A- mtii di The date of tin* first observance of this distinetivclv American institution has been a mutter of some dispute. A writer in an exchange has been to, some trouble to ascertain the facts and states them as follows. J he first '"'.iservtinee of a day of thanksgiving, formally recommended b, tlu; civil authorities, occurred in Leyden. Holland, October !t, l.'i7.*>, it being the first anniversary of the de liverance nf that city from siege. In duly, H,?:t, a day of fasting and I prayer was appointed on aceoimt of drought. Lain came abundantly while they were praying, and the governor appointed a day of thanksgiving which was observed with religious exercises The ( harlestown records show a .dm- ilar change of fast day into Thanks- giving in on account of the ar rival of supplies from Ireltii 1. Hr. Franklin tells us th; 1 in a time of great despondency am ig the set tlers of New England it v\ proposed in one of their pul/lie me. it, '-s to pro claim a fad. An aged fai in*r rose iind spoke of their provoking heaven with their complaints, and of the cause they had for thanksgiving, lie then made a motion that instead of appoint ing- a day of fasting, they should ap point a day of thanksgiving Tin- assembly readily agreed. Massachuscttcs Bay was t he first of the colonies to appoint an aniiurd thanksgiving by the proclamation of the English governor. During the revo lution Thanksgiving duy wasn national institution, being annually recom mended by congress, but after the gen eral Thanksgiving for peace in ITS) there was no national appointment uji- til 17n;i. when Washington, by request of congress, recommended a dav of Thanksgiving for the adoption of the constitutioif. Washington issued a sec ond proclamation of Thanksgiving in 17b."i on account of the suppression of insurrection. Fresidetf Madison, by the request of congress, ‘ccommcndcd a Thanksgiving for peace in 1'l.V But the ntlicial recommendation of a day for the giving of thanks was mainly confined to New England until the year ls!7. after whieh date it was regu larly appointed by the governor of New A 1 irk. In IM.Yi (Jov. •loliiison, of Virginia, recommended a day of j thanksgiving: but in Is.*,7 (Jov. Wise, when requested to do so. publicly de clined. on the ground that he was not authorized to interfere* in religious matters. During the civil war. in isiyt and ism. President Lincoln issued proclamations recommending annual Thanksgivings. Nincu then a procla mation has been issued annually by the president as well ns by tin* governors of the states and the mayors of the principal cities.' Custom fixes the time as the hist Thursday in November. It is well for us all to pa use a little in flic mad whirl of business or work or pleasure, and think of the blessings which have crowned the year, and lift up our hearts in special thanksgiving TWO TUIKKYS.

The red-headed children were crying for bread, and : *o the editor took them out and seated them on the fence po.-ts, in the hope that the red-headed wood peckers would be struck by the family resemblance and feed them. During the absence of the editor a large man. dressed in a beetling frown ttnd a bilge aquatic-elm club, strode into the otliee. The bore's bead was still immersed in the barrel of ex changes, and, as all men look much alike in that attitude, the visitor nat urally mistook the bore for the editor and fell upon him with the dub just mentioned. It is sufficient to say that the large man pounded the bore down into tin* barrel well nigh to the bottom, tamped him in firmly and departed whistling a merr\ lay. When the editor returned and had broken open the barrel and gazed ujxm the quivering carcass <>f the bore, he lifted his hands on high and cried: “I am thankful from the bottom of my soul for what I didn't get!" ’ III: W AS I’K.ltl 1 <"I i.v sai-k. — M.JJht km A * v*-: r**- - j;* year. arrived upon the .he dtttic- us govert to which he had Emperor D vande t'.-»h"ii‘i .mil; Mil .' 1 ’ inlia bitunts in tlie pi .
